Still-Life Objects
Person Hall Art gallery has issued
an SOS. The art students have painted

artistic geniuses as long as they have
spots before their eyes So they are
calling on all students to hunt around
their, so-called living quarters and
bring any interesting objects they find
to the art gallery.

As a; gesture of welcome from the

and the student council. will sponsor
the reception. ' - -
The" "affair will follow directly the
lecture on "Science, Poetry and Phil
osophy" by Dr. I. A. Richards', eminent
English scholar.
Each of the 107 volunteer hosts
will receive an introduction to his dele
gate and have the opportunity to begin
an informal acquaintance which will
last for the duration of the summer
school. , . " ;
The executive nucleus of the stu
dent hospitality committee, headed by
student body president. Dave Morri
son, has already sent out notices to the
hosts informing them - of the dele
gates "to whom they have been as-r
signed. .
The, purpose of the student hosts is
not to provide a guide service but
rather to give the Latin Americans an
informal contact with the student body.
As Dr. Sturgis Leavitt, director of
the University's Inter-American insti
tute, expressed it in a talk to the hos
pitality committee last week, "Latin
Americans are going to absorb this in
tangible 'Carolina spirif of ours only
through actual association through the
student body."
Student hosts will acquaint the
South American visitors with special
interests which the visitors would miss
if they attended only the classes
planned by University officials.
The South Americans will be invited
and accompanied by their hosts to
dances, athletic contests, and meals at
fraternity and sorority .houses.
Twins To Give
Piano Concert
Here Sunday
Ernest and Miles Mauney, 16-year-old
identical twins of Kings Mountain,
will give a duo-piano recital Sunday
afternoon at 5 o'clock, Richard Wor
ley, director of the Grahanj Memorial
student union, announced yesterday.
The two brothers are appearing in
a series of concerts which feature
prominent North Carolina artists.
The twins have studied for the past
two summers at the Julliard music
foundation in New York. The Colum
bia concerts of that city are giving
them a special audition when they re
turn this spring.
. The boys play in the Kings Moun
tain high school band, and were se
lected to play the bassoon and oboe
in, the " all-state band which , met in
Asheville on January 17 and 18.
Ernest and Miles were recently
made members of the National Honor
society in their high school, two of
the four selected from the senior class.
Their most recent concert was in
Charlotte, where they were not only
commended for their fine musician
ship, but for the fact that they are
"just normal boys receiving a well
rounded education."
Their program Sunday will consist
of three two-piano numbers and four
solo selections, in which each twin will
appear.

Two of the little red-eyed animals
were injected about a week ago with
germs taken from Carolina students.
In two days both were ill with flu,
and one has now recovered.
Two Types of Flu '
According to Dr. Brown, there are
only two types of flu, A and B. When
these ferrets have recuperated, they
will have built up antibodies against
one type of flu, from which they will
be immune. Upon recovery, they will
be inoculated with type A virus. If

CPU Poll To
Special Faculty
Poll Also Planned
By Paul Komisaruk
Charges that faculty members of
American universities are "prepar
ing students to accept war" will prob
ably, be answered. a3 a result of to
day's Carolina Political union poll on
American action during the present
crisis, Bill Joslin, chairman of the
union, said yesterday.
Joslin revealed that after the re
sults of today's poll are made known,
a special poll of faculty members will
be held in an effort to compare the
answers and determine the justness
of the accusations that were original
ly made at Harvard university a short
time ago.'
Results of today's poll will probably
be " published in ' tomorrow's Dailyi
Tar Heel. Joslin said that counting
the 2,500 ballots would begin at 2
o'clock this afternoon, but the booths
will remain open until 7:30 in the
evening at the University dining hall,
and until 6 o'clock at the YMCA.
.The Cafeteria booth will be open
from 8 to 11 in the morning, from 12
to 2 in the afternoon, and from 5:30
to 7:30 in the evening. At the YMCA
the booth will remain open from 8
in the morning until 6 in the evening.
Joslin said that beside the five
questions that will appear on the reg
ular ballot, a special set of four ques
tions have been prepared for the Uni
versity's Latin-American visitors, so
that the campus may understand their
reactions.
The visitors will be interviewed per
sonally, and the questions prepared
for them are as follows:
1. If Germany is defeated, should
she be treated more or less severely
than at the close of the first World
War? '
. 2. Do you deem defense of Britain
vital for the safety of, the Western
Hemisphere?
3. Do you believe a totalitarian in
vasion of this hemisphere is likely in
the event of a British defeat? v.
4. Do you fear that the activities
of Nazi agents now in home country
have reached dangerous proportions?
Joslin announced that results of the
poll would be sent to Time Magazine
and to the editors of the State papers.
These poll results are "always noted
with interest, examined, and often
j published" since they give a cross sec
tion of opinion at a large cosmopoli
tan university, he said. . s
