of individual pictures for the 1940
Yackety Yack. The freshmen met last
week, but failed to have a quorum of
Students present. The 300 who were
there voted "almost unanimously in fa
vor of the bill.
As President Bill Alexander pointed
out, the attendance of at least 375 ris
ing second year men will be required
to constitute a quorum or 50 per cent
of the class. He stated that even more

Word was received last night that
Charley Wood's "Swing-wing" quar
tet, including Howard Waynick on
the piano, Frank Justice on the sax,
Rowland Kennedy on the clarinet,
and Sam Galloway on the trumpet,
would jive for the rising sopho
mores. about individual pictures after seeing
the "make-shift appearance of this
year's freshmen and sophomores." He
was referring to the group pictures of
the first and second-year men, includ
ed itt the Yackety Yack, just recently
off: the presses.
LYNCH'S STAND
The policy of the yearbook has been
to take group pictures for the lower
two classes. But this year's editor,
Jack Lynch, has expressed his desire
to see "neater individual photos to
make the Yackety Yack more repre
sentative of what the University really
is." Last week he pointed out that all
the other schools in the Big Five had
separate pictures for freshmen and
sophomores, and that "there was no
reason-, why we shouldn't have them
' too."
At last week's meeting, Charley

It's a far cry from the new
"dream" dormitories being erected
for the coeds to the famous "Battle
of Spencer Hall" waged over the first
coed dormitory 18 years ago. At the
present no other college in North
Carolina, can offer its girls as fully
equipped and beautifully planned dor
mitories as the University. ,..
But back in 1919 the 25 coeds en
rolled in the University were grad

coed center. One of these was Archer

the summer, the human problems and
social movements alluded to in class
room discussion, have not only returned
to the campus convinced that their ex
perience was equivalent to a semester's
academic work, but, more important
still, have come back with a new desire
for understanding which has made the
materials of their course of study seem
more vital than before."

Conferences include Blue Ridge
the southern conference grounds
for the students in white colleges, and
the Talladega conference for men and

with pre-examination preparation, it
is a consolation to pause for a moment
to anticipate the arrival of - Jimmie

The "cosmopolitan atmosphere'' will

writers call "Le Jazz Hot."
Not long ago, Lunceford took his
