Yep, no one will be safe when Carolina's galloping coeds cast off the yoke
and go after their men today. They cooked up the title of Sadie Hawkins today
just for an excuse. In the photograph above even the Confederate monument
coaldnt hold them off. Happy about the, whole thing in the lower corner is
Terrell Everett, president of the Woman's Athletic association, which is re
sponsible for the whole thing. She's obviously been practicing, so be careful,
boys.

nationally famous sextet of musica
clowns, will open the spring quarter
student entertainment series here
with a concert in Memorial hall Mon
dav nie-ht at 8:30 as tart of their
J o
second American tour.
' During their first trip to America
last year, the harmonic funsters re
ceived much, praise by newspapers
throughout the country. They are at
present returning from England, aft
er completing a tour through South

The sextet is composed of Hans

Mass Exodus Of Males
Reported In Offing As
Gals Prepare Attack
By SANFORD STEIN '
Sadie Hawkins day has finally ar
rived I
. At fcfst the coeds will be able to
let their hair down, reveal their hith
erto hidden desires and grab some hap
less male with the words, "This is
my man."
Todav the cirls will assume the
initiative freely and frankly instead
of by hints and subtle maneuvering
which Carolina gentlemen have al
ways demanded. "Every dog has its
day," said Terrell Everett, president
of the Woman's Athletic association,
which is sponsoring the chase, "Why
shouldn't we?" -
At 10:30 this morning those coeds
participating in the event will gather
on the steps of the library, and from
then on no boy on the campus, not
even Bill Corpening, can consider him
self safe from possible capture. About
50 boys, however, plan to leave Chapel
Hill today to save' themselves the em
barrassment of not being caught.
EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE
Coeds can buy their tickets at the
Book Exchange from 10:30 on and at
Woollen gym from 2 o'clock on, if
they did not already purchase them
last night at their dorms. To avoid
having several coeds trying to grab
one "man, as soon as a girl has bag
ged her prey, she will put a tag on
him that means that the gentleman
has been conquered and "Hands Off!"
Sadie Hawkins day is not restrict
ed to just the coeds," revealed Miss
Everett, who manages to be that fem
inine rarity a coed who is athleiic
and still doesn't look as if she could
knock Joe Louis with one arm tied
behind her back. "We want the fac
ulty wives to participate, too. They
can chase their own husbands, each
other's husbands or somebody inter
esting. I also want to stress , that JMl
previous dates made for today are
null and void. If any of you boys re
fuse to cooperate, the Woman's Ath
letic association will sena tneir own
private strong-arm squad, headed by
Mary Lewis, to see you."
THIS IS GETTING INTERESTING
In addition to the actual chase,
the program includes a baseball game
this afternoon at 3 o'clock to consis
of coeds and their dates, or, if the
couples prefer, various indoor games
in Woollen gym. "We've set aside
several of the smaller rooms," said
Miss Everett, "so that the coeds and
their dates can play in privacy, i
they wish. Everybody is requested to
wear soft-soled shoes on the gym
floor. They make less noise."

Gaylord Aiii Forrest
For Senior Positions
Coed Expected
To Be Named Later
For Secretary
By PHILIP .GARDEN
The Student party last night
en-
dorsed a slate for rising senior offices
as proposed by a representative group
of junior class members Don Baker
for vice president; Steve Forrest for
treasurer; and Louis Gaylord for stu
dent council representative.
After discussing the advisability of
continuing the party's past policy of
endorsing staff nominees for editor
ships of all publications, a motion was
carried that such endorsement be an
nounced in advance of staff elections.
Last night's convention, the sixth
held by the party since the opening of
the political season, completed the
Student party's slate except for can
didates for student legislature and
secretary of the senior class.
COED TO BE NAMED
Party leaders said last night that
a coed will probably be nominated for
secretary of the senior class, and for
this reason action was not taken on
this office last night. Herb Hardy was
nominated for senior presidency early
in February.
Candidates for student legislature
will be chosen at the party's next con
vention, Preston Nisbet, party chair
man, said. This will be the first time
that these offices have been included
in the election.

vice president, has been an outstand-

FIVE OBJECTS
FOR MAG EDITOR
Candidate Urges
Inclusion Of New
Type Of Material
Advocating a complete change in
the editorial policy of the Carolina
Magazine, Simons Roof, Carolina
Party candidate for the editorship of
the Magazine, yesterday announced
a five-point platform.
"By now it is apparent that the
campus desires a change in the edi
torial policy of the Magazine," as
serted Roof. "The campus wants a
Magazine free from the dictation of.
any particular political ideology. It
wants a fresh, original publication of
student work, and a magazine whose
consumption requires less headache ,
powder."
To effect the needed readability
and variety Roof proposes, first, the
inclusion of new types of material.
In addition to the old types the Maga
zine would include satires, personal
and formal essays, satirical poems
and parodies. Also, student contri
butions would be used in preference
to off-campus material.
The second point in his platform is
