In thBDPer left hand corner the students looking so industrious are merely residents of a typical campus dormitory toohj, doing their "daily dozen." Directly underneath, a dormitory manager appears very happy to make a sale in the dorm store. The smiling, be-sweatered gentlemen in the upper right hand corner is Charles "Puddin " Wales, president of the Interdormitory council and head of that branch of student government which deals with dormitory residents, while in th lower right hand corner are shown T. E. Hinson, superintendent of residence halls (right), and his assistant, E. P. Ernst. ;. Believe It Or Not -- Campus Dorm Residents Have Their Own Self-Styled fHouse Mothers' Over 1500 Apply For 42 Manager, Assistant Jobs By PHIL ELLIS , "Once they were a place to sleep- sow they're a place to live." Sach were the words of T. E. Hin son, superintendent of Residence Halls at the University, and, to the old timer who just happens to be "coming back," 1 or the raw freshman who is just be ginning his college career, the words seem to be aptly put when applied to University dormitories. Evolving from ramshackle buildings in which students often found it neces sary to sleep on water-surrounded tables in the halls to escape bedbugs, to modern homelike buildings with the latest conveniences, the dormitory at Chapel Hill has at last erased its old reputation of untidiness and incon venience. There was a day, for instance, when, students wished to be certain to have their room cleaned, they did it them sdves. The surest way for a student to secure new or even adequate equip ment for a room was to dig down into his own pockets and buy it himself, and in order to take a bath it was ne cessary to walk half-way across the arcpas clad in a towel. If one owned a radio, it was strictly against the rJjes to install it in his room, and drinking water was available only if one was willing to go to the well, usually a block or two away from the dormitory. ow the system is different.

Velton Bunch of Belhaven, 20, hav ing been influenced decidedly by "Hold Tight," the current campus song craze, took the song literally and downed two live goldfish Friday afternoon. The boys around the Phi Delta Chi house passed around a hat, collecting two bucks for the "human goldfish bowl." Bunch said the first fish, a black spotted two-inch animal, "went down with no trouble at all," but that the second, seeming to yearn for his bowl, and being about three-and-a-half in ches long, rebelled. After being swal lowed the larger fish had tO(be forced down with a glass of water. WERE FANCIED PETS John Pickard, who had been keep ing the fish for pets, didn't like the idea, and said if Bunch wanted to swal low more goldfish he'd hafta pick on some other bowl. It seems Bunch had swallowed the largest in the bowl, a red-gold fish, one which Pickard par ticularly fancied. Following the swallowing affair, Bunch went down street and ate a trout supper. The two bucks went to a dance bid, a haircut and a labora tory fee. He said he'd swallow all the goldfish around for a dollar apiece . . . and-added, "I still don't believe any body could eat 45 in an hour, though." Commencement Bids Go On Sale Today Commencement bids will go on sale to seniors this morning at 9 a.m., it was announced yesterday by Felix Markham president of the . senior, class.

When this bill is removed from the calendar the senate will then be able to debate the same bills simultaneous ly with the Phi assembly as the two organizations agreed last Tuesday night. Expert Drummer Tells ' All In Discussing : "Battle Of Swing" T By GEORGE T. SIMON - (Associate Editor of Metronome) Tar Heelians (emphasis on their music-makers) sure do deserve all sorts of bouquets for the great brand of dance music they tossed at fellow Chapel Hillians on Sunday from the stage of Memorial hall. Even at the risk of come-backs like "aw, we bet you say that to every college you know," this scribe goes on record with the unqualified statement that .. he's never heard such consistently fine col legiate dance music as that which emanated from the horns of North Carolina's best blowers this week end. j juaging tne an air, men, was a pleasant task. But it was a tough one, too, because (1) the bands didn't play long enough to enable each to show off all its fine points, and (2) the very fact that this was out-and-out compe tition obviously made some perform ances unnaturally strained, and, at times, too self-conscious. The too-obvious attempt to impress the audience is what cost Freddie Johnson's fine crew the first prize. From what could be heard underneath some hodge-podge clowning (it was funny in spots, but there was too much gag stuff), the band had by far the greatest MUSICAL potentialities. But you can't go running all over the stage, tossing cymbals at the guy next to you, etc., and still expect to play as a unit. As a result, Jonnson s per formance was sloppy, the attack dis concerted, the phrasing not unified. It sacrificed musical finesse for show mansmp, ana since tne battle was judged upon musical merits, the men of Johnson couldn't (upon this per iormance, anyway) righuuliy gam top honors. 'l. That sort of. performance .made, the battle even closer than it might have been. Let it be said right now out of all fairness to Ted Ross that the very nature of his outfit's music put him at a distinct disadvantage from the start (Continued on page two) Phi Beer Party Is This Afternoon The annual Phi assembly beer party will be held this afternoon in Battle park. AH members, whether at the last meeting or not, are urged to meet in front of New East this afternoon at 5 o'clock, from whence the group will proceed to festivity grounds. Speaker Elmer Nance an nounced that soft drinks will be served as well as the beer. 22 "Frolic" Bids Available; Clinton Concert Is Saturday Tickets To Go On Sale By Dormitory Managers Tomorrow "When the Deep Purple falls over sleepy garden walls . . ."
