One-Mile Relay Team

Fetzer Field Record
By LEONARD LOBRED
Digging their spikes deep into Fet
zer field cinders, Carolina's Southern
conference track champions played
havoc with the Duke track team and
the record books as they buried the
Blue Devils under a 78-53 count yes
terday afternoon. The Tar Heels es
tablished four new records and tied
another, and of these, three were new
University marks. -
To single out any race as the top
performance of the day is unfair,, be
cause the record times ofBoyce Jen
nings in the quarter, Bill Hendrix
in the half, Bill Corpening in the high
hurdles, Harry March in the low hur
dles, and the one mile relay team of
Jennings, Joe Russell, Dave Morri

probably . won't be approached often
this year.

March Of Time
'The - March of "Time was ' almost -forced
to mark time for awhile here
Friday when its photographers
were shooting South building for a
forthcoming March of Time feature
on the nation's number one economic
problem the South.
Driver Jack Glenn of the picture
taking crew parked his car between
two "no parking" signs on Cameron
avenue. When he prepared to leave,
he found a ticket on the car order
ing him to Chapel Hill court.
The big-time newsman decided
otherwise, however. He leaped out
of the auto, muttering his exaspera
tion. "What kind of police department
have you got here? The crazy (cen
sored) probably have never seen a
press car." (The car was plainly
marked PRESS.)
He dashed over to South building
and called upon Miss Katharine
Lackey tointervene for him. She
wielded her influence on Policeman
J. D. Blake, and the local officer told
Glenn he would take care of the mat
ter. Glenn returned to his car, assert
ed "I taught them what P-R-E-S-S
spells," and drove off with new ideas
about the nation's number one problem.

JAMES SPRUNT
STUDIES REVIVED
Research Papers
To Be Published
The James Sprunt historical studies
have been revived recently under the
joint sponsorship of the History and
Political Science departments. For
merly a series of short monographs
published from about 1900 to 1934, the
studies are to be published twice a year
a3 book-length pieces of original re
search in fields of interest to these de
partments. The first study to come off the Uni
versity press is entitled. "The Presi
dential Election of 1824 in North Caro
lina," by Dr. A. R. Newsome, head of
the history department. The next, by
J. C. Sitterson, will be "The Secession
Movement in North Carolina."
The James Sprunt historical studies
are similar to those published by Johns
Hopkins and Columbia university. The
departments publishing them believe
that they will increase the attractive
ness of the graduate schools. The pub
lication of scholarly studies and theses
prepared by graduates will end the
shelving of important manuscripts.
The University library will also gain

Vocalist Wonders "Why Larry
Ever Hired Me To Sing For
Him Without An Audition"
BY SANFORD STEIN
"I . often wonder why Larry ever
hired me as a singer."
And when Bea Wain, Larry Clinton's
songstress, said this yesterday, she
wasn't being modest. She was merely
referring to the fact that Clinton made
her his vocalist without even giving
her an audition. That his faith was
justified has been proven by her having
recently been chosen the most popular
dance band female vocalist in a poll

Will Parade
Tuesday Night
Prizes To Be Given
For Best Costume In
-Each Of Four Groups
A parade of impersonations may be
expected by anyone who attends the Va
riety ball being staged by the Order
of the Grail Tuesday evening as part
of the program for Student-Faculty
Day.
Announcement of plans for the cos
tume dance were released yesterday
by Pudding Wales and Olive Cruik-
shank, Co-chairmen of Student-Fac
ulty Day. Student Body President Jim
Joyner and Alumni Secretary Maryon
Saunders, as co-chairmen for the
dance, arranged plans for the event.
Prizes in four general classifications
of impersonations are planned. The
classifications include: 1. Political fig
ures; 2. Movie stars; 3. Fiction and
literary characters; 4. An unclassified
and unlimited group.
DUPLICATIONS
Last year's costume dance produced
several Hitlers, Mahatma Ghandis, and
other ranking politicos. The contest of
political impersonations this year may
be expected to add to the Hitlers and
Ghandis many Chamberlains, Musso
linis, Zogs, Queen Wilheminas, Wallies,
etc Chairman Joyner has suggested
as first prize in this group a box of
cigars although the competition of co
eds may not make such a prize univer
sally acceptable.
The movie star impersonations
should have the effect of bringing
Hollywood to Chapel Hill for next
Tuesday evening, while the literary im
personations will give opportunity for
studiously inclined persons to reincar
nate their literary heroes and hero
ines. The unclassified and unlimited group
definitely will have its limitations ac
cording to the chairmen. The classi
fication affords opportunity for origin
ality in costume and is expected to be
one of the best contests.
Plans to place interest in the four
groups of exhibit during the dance
have been made and all present wilj by
the degree of applause select winners
in each contest.
The Grail has taken the responsibil
ity of staging the dance.

CORONATION SET
FOR 1050 IN
MEMORIAL HALL
Identity Of Monarchs
Remains A Mystery;
Program Is Released
By LOUISE JORDAN
An all day holiday for everybody
will be granted Tuesday in honor of
the fifth annual celebration of Student-Faculty
day. Mystery shrouds
the gala occasion as the identity of
the king and queen, who will preside
over the festivities, has not yet been
disclosed.
All Tuesday classes have been can
celed, it was announced yesterday, but
a fine of $2.50 per class will be levied
against students cutting either tomor
row or Wednesday, in accordance with
the usual rule concerning cuts before
and after holidays.
Begun two years ago, the custom of
choosing a faculty member as king
and a coed as queen in an all campus
election has attracted even more cur-,
iosity and attention this year because
of the absolute secrecy surrounding
the elections. Those in the know as
to the results of the campus vote have
maintained a strict silence, and the
report is that Puddin Wales, co-chairman
of the event, refused to hear the
final returns to avoid the temptation
of telling everybody else.
GLEAM
With a knowing gleam in their eyes,
Edna Hines Bynum and Dr. Harold
Meyers chairmen of the coronation
committee, continue their, plans with
ine assistance ox tne naymaKers, ior
an elaborate and original opening
spectacle. The performance will be
staged at 10:30 in Memorial Hall
with costume, court and heraldry.
An hour later, faculty, fraternity
men, and coeds are invited to the dor
mitory open-house plans for which
are progressing under the direction
of Felix Markham and Fred Weaver.
The dormitories will be entirely open
for inspection and a prize will be given
for the best room on the campus. Two
coed hostesses chosen for the women's
dormitories will preside at each open
house. .
LUNCH
Students will entertain the faculty
members at luncheon at . 1 o'clock.
Jimmy Davis and Dr. H. K. Russell
are in charge of the arrangements,
and Reddy Grubbs and the University
club have served as a clearing bouse for
making dates. Any date made out
side their bureau is not valid if the
same faculty member has been grant
ed to a student who has made arrange
ments with the bureau.
Marvin Allen and Herman Schnell
are directing the recreational activ
ities planned for the afternoon. From
2:30 until 4 o'clock the tennis courts
will be open for all, but student-faculty
matches will be given precedence.
The pool will be open at the gym and
horseshoe facilities will be available
at Fetzer field. Four soft ball games
have been scheduled which promise
