PATTEN SAYS NC
YM-YWCA CABINET
TO BE DISSOLVED
Body May Become
Part Of Student
Christian Group
The North Carolina YM-YWCA
cabinet will probably abolish itself and
emerge as a part of the Student Chris
tian Movement cabinet, an inter-racial
group, when it meets at the North Caro
lina College for Negroes at Durham
today.
This prediction was made yesterday
by Brooks Patten, president of the Uni
versity YMCA, who is also president
of the state YM-YWCA cabinet.
North Carolina will thus become the
first state in the South to have a
Christian student inter-racial cabinet,
Patten said. He has received indica
tion from representatives of other col
lege YM-YWCA groups that the sug
gested changes will be approved.
fSSION THIS MORNING
At its business session at 10 :30 this
morning, the conference, which will be
attended by Patten and a delegation
from the University, will consider three
motions. The first will be a recom
mendation that an inter-racial state
cabinet be formed. The second will be
that the present cabinet be dissolved
upon the formation of such an inter
racial cabinet. The final motion will
be to organize the Student Christian
Movement cabinet, in which all activity
will be inter-racial. Arrangements will
be made to permit collegiate Christian
groups not members of the YM or
YWCA to have representation in the
newly-created cabinet.
Kirby Page, noted author, lecturer,
and, expert on international affairs,
will lead the conference in its discus
sion of the themeMeaning and Ne
cessity of the Christian Choice." Morn
ing and afternoon sessions will be held.
Official delegates from the local
YMCA will be Patten, Eugene Turner,
and John Riggsbee. Delegates from the
YWCA will be Miss Tecorah Harner,
representing Miss Margaret Evans,
president, and Misses Olive Cruik
shank and Mary Jane Yeatman. Other
students will probably be on hand.
YWCA To Elect
Committeewomen
To elect two representatives at
large to the YWCA nominating
committee, the association will meet
tomorrow afternoon at 6:45 in Spen
cer hall parlor. This will be the
only opportunity to complete the
committee as there will not be an
other regular meeting this quarter
and all members living in other
dormitories and in the sororities are
requested to attend.

TRACKMAN CRACKS
TWO BIG RECORDS,
GETS 12 POINTS
Tar Heels Rack
Up Sweeping 52
Point Indoor Win
By LEONARD LOBRED
Led by Wild Bill Corpening, wh
scored 12 points and broke two records
in the process, Carolina's track team
romped over Maryland and Duke be
fore, a capacity crowd in Woollen gym
last night to recapture its Southern
conference indoor title. The Tar Heels
tallied 52 points, Maryland 30, and
Duke 25.
Corpening won the first event in the
meet with a record-breaking jump of
22 feet 11 inches to beat Harry March,
second high Carolina scorer with 9
points, who, on his last jump, moved
the conference record of 22 feet 8
inches to 22 feet 10 inches. Corpening
on the last jump in the event, broke
March's new mark by one inch.
Corpening then surprised most on
lookers by entering the high jump,
winning it, and setting a new mark.
March finally beat, his old rival, Ed
Miller of Maryland, and took second.
The big surprise was Miller's absence
from the final placers, as March,
Vaughn Winborne and Pat Patterson
tied for second. After Miller, had
dropped out following his 5. feet 10
inch leap, the . Carolina second plac
ing trio leaped six feet, and Corpening
reached 6 feet 1 1-16 inches.
OTHER FIRST
The Tar Heel's only other first place
was Tom Holmes' 70-yard low hurdles
win in ,:7.9, only one-tenth of a second
over the conference record. Maryland
led in the first places, making all of
its 30 points on six firsts.
.Mason Chrohisterwon the greatest
victory of the entire meet: firs! place
over Carolina's Jimmy Davis in the

Former Outstanding Play-
maker Relates Experiences In
Bright Lights Of New York
By SANFORD STEIN
"I came, I saw but this is not a
success story."
In these few words, Bob Nachtman,
University, alumnus and last year'a
most outstanding Playmaker, sum
med up his career as an actor on the
Broadwya stage. He is now stopping
in Chapel Hill for a few days to con
fer with Paul Green on a New York
production of the tetter's play,
"Shroud My Body Down."
After enacting the lead last sum
mer in Green's "Lost Colony" at Man
teo, Nachtman went to New York and
spent five weeks looking for a job.
"I went to every producer's office in
the city," said Bob, "and got kicked
out of all but two. I don't know why
these two were exceptions maybe
they just liked my face. The pro
ducers are simply too busy to be nice
to people. Every minute of their time
is money. And to make things harder,
you have to go through a long line of
secretaries, each one of whom is
jealous of her own petty authority."
