and Dr. Wm. deB.I MacNider.
FURTHER APPOINTMENT
One more committeeman is yet to
be appointed. Dr. MacNider stated
that he did not wish to accept the
position definitely as yet, since he be
lieved that his work may prevent him
from giving as much time to the posi
tion as would be" required.
The committee will meet soon to be
gin work and lay plans for the fifth
annual Student-Faculty day celebra
tion. No definite date has been select-, j
ed yet for the event, but the affair

a boy and a girl, have been named for
the occasion Brooks Patten, president
of the YMCA, declared that this was
done , so as' to allow, complete repre
sentatioft'of :the men and women stu
dents, since each group has its own
student body and organizations wh;ch
operate independently
Wales and Miss Cruikshank have
stated that an attractive and varied
program is being planned which is ex
pected to arouse more interest from
both the students and the faculty than
has been evidenced in the past.

P0LITIC0S THINK
DAVIS WILL ACCEPT
S
Track Star Leaves
For New York With
1 Issue In Doubt
Whether or . not Jim Davis, nomi
nated by both political parties on the
campus for presidency of the student
body, will accept either of the nomi
nations in preference to . the other
was a matter . of conjecture on the
campus yesterday.
. . Davis, meanwhile, could not be per
sonally contacted to clarify the situa
tion as he left early Thursday after
noon for New York as a member of
the University relay team which
competes in the Millrose games in
Madison Square Garden today.
Chairman Studie Ficklen of the
University party, however, expressed
his . conviction that Davis will accept
his party's nomination. x . '
BRITT
Mitchell Britt, head of the opposing
Student party, said that, although he
had not obtained a definite statment
from the nominee, he had spoken to
him on the campus before he left for
New York, and that Davis had thank
ed him for the nomination. Britt said
that he had concluded from the hur
ried conversation with the nominee
that Davis intended to recognize the
Student party's nomination.
On the campus where the topic was
discussed, in groups of mixed poli
tical affiliations, the general belief
was that Davis will accept both nomi
nations without party discrimination

Mid-Winters Well Underway As
Scribe Says Miller Et Al
Tear 'Em Down At Concert
By BILL RHODES WEAVER
Glenn Miller and his slap-happy
crew tore 'em down at the concert in
Hill music hall yesterday afternoon
in spite of several little things which
went wrong.
First, the concert was delayed about
12 minutes because the truck bearing
the equipment was mired in the mud
at the Tin Can. The public address
system, long in being set up, couldn't
quite "take it" and gave up the ghost
about half way through the program.
After announcing the difficulties of
getting the band, Billy Worth, secretary-treasurer
of the German club,
settled down to a normal heart beat;
Dr. Jan Philip Schinhan and 'Freddie
Johnson lent a hand, and all went well
from then on.

JIM JOYNER ACTS
AFTER CRITICISMS
OF PAST EDITION
Whitehead Medical
Society Adds Voice
To Those Protesting
By JIORRIS W. ROSENBERG
Jim Joyner last night appointed a
committee to investigate the present
status of the Carolina Buccaneer and
"determine its place, if it has a place,
in our student activities; and if so,
some of the limits in which it should
function."
The committee, composed of Bob
Magill, chairman, Tim Elliot, Voit Gil
more, Allen Merrill, Dean Bradshaw,
Fred Weaver, and Dean Spruill, will
hear, opinions of students and organi
zations concerning the magazine, study
criticisms, make any further inves
tigations . necessary, and then make
recommendations to either the Student
council,. student legislature, or the edi
tor of the Buccaneer himself which
will be a consensus of opinion of the
students, townspeople, and adminis
tration. MED STUDENTS SHOCKED
Adding its voice to those protesting
against the past issue of the Buc
caneer, the Whitehead Medical society,
in speaking of the photographs of the
'stiffs,' issued statement declaring
"that the medical students , were both
shocked and angered when the pic
tures of the dead appeared in print
in, the magazine which is supposedly
an example of what we think funny."
T. G. Thurston, president of the so
ciety, stated:
"The students of the medical school
in a meeting , passed a motion that
their attitude be made '.known regard
ing the publication of the cadaver pic
tures in the" Buccaneer. ' '
"After having worked with these
cadavers we have learned to respect
them at all times, even though they
are the only remnants of individuals
who had neither friends nor graves.
Through them we learn the structure
of the human body which is so es
sential to medical practice.
"Thus we were both shocked and
angered when we saw that not only
supposedly humorous photographs had
been taken of these dead, but that,
worse still, someone with a Btrangely
distorted and debased sense of humor

'39 Teams May Meet
In Murphey Hall
Dr. John Booker, who teaches
Victorian literature in Murphey hall,
recenty asked his class how much
time they spent on his course each
night. After much reluctance and
beating around the bush, members
of the class finally admitted, that
they devoted an average ef 15 min
utes to Victorian lit. "My my," ex
claimed Dr. Booker, "this will nev
er do. Before I know it, the ath
letes will be registering for my
course."
something to remember her by. Ray
Eberle did a few numbers among them
"My Reverie" which went over in a
big way.
Embelishing the soloists , were ar
rangements of the brass choir, Miller
handling a trom himself most of the
time. Winning high praise .was the
sweet rendition of "Londonderry Air"
with muted trombones and clarinets,
and the pianist doing his part ade

Trumpeters held their own with hot
presentations, and the drummer man
and the bass fiddle boy beat it out in

The German club has requested no
flowers be sent for the dances, and -has
asked that dates receiving flowers
leave them at home.
Following the concert, a tea dance
