York way, . became attached to a little turtle. Just for the novelty of the thing he . sent the amphib to a certain little Carolina coed who lives on third floor Kenan. Since, his arrival amidst the' fe male lair he has been the object of V considerable amount "of'" atten-" tion. The girls have secured ham burger meat for his daily diet. We failed to find out whether or not new inhabitant likes his menu, but the girls seem to think he will get along all right. There is one peculiar 'character istic about this particular turtle . . . he is never satisfied to stay in the same room two nights in succes sion. This traveling turtle takes turns taking naps in various rooms of third floor Kenan. This cute little animal mammal or something has been a constant worry of some of the local gobs who find that the turtle is getting just a little more attention than is necessary. Give to RED CROSS!

Arts And Crafts Workshop To Be Established Here Designed to meet the increasing need for therapeutic workers in cen ters now being set up in Army camps, such as the one at Camp Butner, a special studio workshop in arts and crafts has just been established by the Art department here. The course will include silver-smithing, copper-smithing, jewelry design, enamelling, block printing, . batik, sculpture and modelling, leather work ing and tool-making for these crafts, said Prof. Kenneth Ness, acting Head of the Department. The course will be given in the Per son Hall Art Gallery by Stephen Hop kins Walker, artist-craftsman, of Washington, D. C. Mr. Walker was formerly Zoo Sculptor in Washington; instructor in teacher - training in sculpture and allied arts, University of Virginia; and director of art, Fair fax County, Virginia. Last year he was teaching principal of reorienta tion classes for problem boys in the Washington Public School system. He is an artist as well as a teacher, being represented in the Phillips Memorial Gallery in Washington and other col lections. He was a pupil of the famous Russian sculptor, Alexander Archi penko, in ceramics and sculpture; and studied with the Danish craftsmen, Lauritz Eichner and Adda Husted-An-dersen, two of the world's leading silversmiths. Certificates . All members of the class will be eli gible for certificates upon satisfactory completion of the work, the announce ment said. Credit on degrees can be obtained by education, sociology and other students in the University suc cessfully completing the course. Classes begin Monday, March 19, at 7 p.m. and will continue on Mon days, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7 to 10 p.m. through June 16. Regis tration closes on Saturday, March 17. Full information may be obtained at the Art Department of the University. "People with an eye for beauty and a wish to 'make something for them selves' will have an opportunity to. de velop their talents in this workshop, Professor Ness said. "They can make pins, brooches, rings and other jewelry. Tie-dyed batik materials, leather work and block prints that can be used will be made while learning practical working methods. "Those with a professional interest in learning the methods so as to later help others find pleasure in, making useful things can consider future pos sibilities in rehabilitation work. Re habilitation programs are stressing the crafts because they provide emo tional release and coordination in the use of the hands. Men are given the opportunity of acquiring new skill through which to earn a living. "The rehabilitation program at Camp Butner is now being organized. Within the next few months there will be need for .hundreds of therapeutic aides in various regions. Those train ed to teach the crafts will be in great demand."
