Campus Groups Vote
Disapproval Of Coed
Eating Restrictions
The Coed Senate and the Student
Legislature in separate meetings
Thursday night unanimously decided
that South Building has no authority
to decide where coeds shall eat.
Discussion concerning the order
from Dean Stacy's office which pro
hibited coeds from eating in frater
nity dining rooms, began as soon as
it was made public. Members of the
House Privileges Board appointed a
committee which met with Dean Stacy
in order to see whether or not some
thing could be done to alter the deci
sion. A similar committee was named
by the Interfraternity Council. Both
committees met with Deans Stacy,
House and Mackie for lengthy discus
sions which resulted in a compromise.
Administrative officials first agreed to
permit coeds to continue eating in fra
ternity houses until January 1. This
decision was changed Thursday morn
ing, and student leaders were told
that the order would take effect on De
cember 1.
The Coed Senate met in the WGA
room at Graham Memorial Thursday
night at seven o'clock. A motion in
troduced by Mary Hill Gaston pro
posed that coeds be allowed to eat
wherever they pleased, that Dean
Stacy be requested to rescind her or
der and that future action on the mat
ter originate in the House Privileges
Board. The motion was carried unani
mously with little discussion.
The same bill was introduced in
the Student Legislature two hours la
ter by Spencer Dorm's' Representa
tive Gloria Chapman. Roy Thompson
gave a short summary of attempts at
conciliation, presented reasons offered
by Deans Stacy and House for the or
der, and closed with a request that the
Legislature take action on the bill im
mediately. Thompson pointed out the inconsis
tency of permitting coeds to enter fra
ternity houses for" visiting purposes
if they were denied privileges of eat
ing there. He presented figures on the
present eating set-up in Chapel Hill
and stated the belief that the action
was taken after Lenoir Hall's opening
in order to provide Lenoir with more
business. He concluded with, "I be
lieve that individuals should choose
their own dining rooms. If the House
Privileges Board does not already have
jurisdiction over this matter, it should
be given that jurisdiction immediate-
ly.
Next man on the administrative
stump was Jimmy Wallace who want

party politics. '
The bill provided that the Associa
tion as a unit will have no party poli
tical aims or ambitions. It further
stated that the "party political ambi
tions, convictions, desires or views of
any individual member does not in any
way originate from or represent the
UVA."
In introducing the resolution, Don
English pointed to the growing mis
conception among various campus
groups that the UVA is functioning
for the sole purpose of creating poli
tical prestige. "Some students," he
added, "seem to be of the opinion that
political activities."
After a lively discussion, the group
unanimously adopted the resolution
and expressed the feeling that it would
set straight any misinformed persons.
The vets aired opinions that the sooner
this issue is clarified, the better for
the entire student body.
The text of the resolution follows:
"Be it resolved that the University
Veterans Association let it be known
that it has no party political aims or
affiliations as an organization: that it
does not intend to form any party poli
tical views in any way, shape or form;
and furthermore, the party political
ambitions, convictions, desires or views
of, any individual member does not in
any way originate from or represent
the University Veterans Association."
Bill McKinzie, president of the Stu
dent Council, spoke to the group and
explained theef unctioning and import
ance of student government, and soli
cited the aid of the vets in continuing
this form of student self -discipline.
He also expressed approval of the
veterans' intentions of cooperating to
the fullest extent in campus affairs.
WGA To Present Ball
Honoring New Coeds
The Women's Government Associa
tion will honor the 45 incoming coeds
at a WGA ball on Saturday night,
November 3, in Woollen Gymnasium.
The entire campus will be invited to
the ball, which will come as a climax
to both freshman and coed orienta
tion programs.
In a called meeting Thursday night
the Coed Senate voted an appropria
tion for the dance and made a num
ber of recommendations to the dance
committee.
The affair will be semi-formal and
will last from 9 until 12 p. m. Dates
for new coeds will be arranged as
they were for the annual Coed Ball
which came at the end of the Sep
tember orientation program.

"No-wher so bisy a man as he ther
nas, And yet he semed bisier than he
was," said Geoffrey Chaucer of the
sergeant of the lawe, and today that
statement is posted in the office of E.
E. Ericson, to whom the 1945 Yackety
Yack is dedicated.
"In 1822 Grimm discovered that
voiceless stops become voiceless fricatives-
in Germanic languages," said
Ericson, "and America is sex-mad to
day," he adds. "I might have become
a noted linguist if I had consentrated
on just that, but I'm not sorry."
The editors of the Yackety-Yack
chose a greatly loved and greatly
misunderstood professor of English
for the dedication; Since the editors
of the Yack are students, Ericson's
selection will not come as a complete
surprise to the campus. Strangely

'First Copy Of
Reaches Editor Johnstone;
Ericson Receives Dedication
Bell Tower, Portrayed on Dark Red Cover,
Symbolizes 'Time,' Theme Of '45 Yearbook
Gene Johnstone, editor of the 1945 Yackety Yack, received the
first copy of his longjieralded publication Thursday night and an
nounced that several hundred copies will be distributed to students
early next week.
This year's Yack is bound with dark
red imitation leatherand pictures the
Bell Tower in linen-colored finish on
the cover.
The dedication goes to Dr. E. E.
Ji.ricson, the popular professor of
English. The book was co-edited by
Johnstone and Cookie Marett, with
Margaret Woodhouse serving as busi
ness manager.
. The theme of the Yack is "time,'
portrayed by the Bell Tower and sym
bols of clocks throughout the volume.
A sub-theme takes the form of the
history of the University and its
achievements, shown by brief sentences
in upper and lower margins of the
first 89 pages.
Two pages are devoted to "faculty
favorites," namely S. T. Emory, H. T.
Lefler, E. J. Woodhouse, R. D. Hume,
C. H. Pegg, W. S. Wells, H. W. Crane
and Archibald Henderson. Dr. Frank
Graham and Franklin Roosevelt are
honored with full-page pictures.
Pictures of each senior are includ
ed, and informal shots of the members
of the other classes are presented in
group pictures.
More space is devoted to special
activities and campus organizations.
Rounding out the volume is the full
coverage of athletics, full-page pic
tures of the "Carolina .Beauties" se
lected at the Yack Beauty Ball, and
advertisements.
Starting with a partly linen colored
finish, the new Yack bubbles with a
fresh approach. Doing away with
traditional stiff portraits of juniors,
this isue had informal shots of groups
of juniors on various spots around
campus.
No small amount of credit goes to
the brilliant photographic technique
of Joe Denker, whose work along
these lines is far from unknown to
Carolina students.
