Action by the Faculty at yesterday's brief meeting only validat ed the program set into effect this year for coeds. In addition it made the physical education training compulsory for coeds over the four year jeriod of undergraduate work. The voluntary program in effect now merely offers physical education to the women students without a definite degree requirement. The compulsory program will go into effect next September. Seniors Too In its original form the program as presented to the faculty yesterday called for three year training but was amended to require the senior coeds to take the physical education. Assurance was voiced by administration leaders yesterday that the new wing to Woollen gymnasium, now in blueprint stage, would provide enough additional facilities for the added number of .coeds required to take the phy sical education training. The new wing, tentatively planned to be added to the east side of the Woollen plant, is to go into construction in the near fu ture, officials intimate holdup being caused by approval of plans and se curing of a priority rating. Navy to Share Cost The addition was planned to relieve the burden on the present athletic facilities arising from the influx of the 1,875 Naval Air Cadets here late this month and this summer. It was indicated that part of the construction and equipment costs would be defrayed by the Navy. Compulsory physical education, established requirement of freshmen for the last decade, was extended to the sophomore, junior and senior classes by ' Trustee action last fall as part of the University's contribution to the defense effort. The action, which raised the degree requirements for men students to inchide four year credit for physical education, has brought recreational activities and athletic training into the student's curriculum Renovated May Day to Portray War Effort Tradition-bearing, Carolina's May Day celebration follows the tide of the times at the University this year and blossoms forth under a new cover "Carolina Meets the Challenge." No more will the May Queen and Court cavort blithely to springlike airs; they will join seriously in the dramatic pageantry portraying Caro lina and its role in the nation's war effoVt. "Carolina Meets the Challenge" is the title picked for the pageant to be given the night of May 8 in Kenan stadium, largest stage in the history of University drama. The general theme of the pageant will be the part that the University has played, is play ing, and will play inthe war. Every agency will be depicted, from OSCD to NROTC and CVTC. The CVTC and NROTC units will take an active part in the pageant, NC English Profs Meet Carolina's English department op ened its doors yesterday for a two-day conference of State college and high school teachers in an effort to formu late plans for the newly added 12 grade in state high schools. Out of their efforts, it is hoped, will develop an advanced standing in high schools that will enable universities to discontinue present courses of special ized instruction and speed up the pro irram to keep in step with the war. The weekend meeting was opened by the Freshmen English staff's "open house" for first year students and their visitinxr hisrh school instructors, yes terday. The hosts, headed byProfes-, sor A. P. Hudson, displayed represent ative examples of freshman composi tion, charts depicting common English faults and climaxed the reunion with liirht refreshments. Yesterday's panel meeting and the evening discussion set up the points to be acted upon today by representatives from the State Department of Educa tion and the entire convention who will make an effort to clear up the situa tion before adjournment. University English heads who have worked on the organization committee See ENGLISH, page 4 -' Phi Gamma Delta Presents Faculty Tea Epsilon chapter of Phi Gamma Del ta, national social fraternity, will en tertain at a tea in honor of the faculty of the University tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock at 108 West Cameron Ave nue.

Diddy Kelley first presented the plan for changing the original May Day celebration to one portraying the significance of Carolina's war effort. The plan was adopted immediately by Dean F. F. Bradshaw and the Student office. Louis Harris, student coordi nator of OSCD, was appointed co-director with Miss Kelley to work out the details. Art Conescu, drama ma jor, took up the task of directing the pageant and Miss Josephine Niggli, noted Mexican playwright, pitched in with the rest and wrote the script. That, briefly, is the history of-the new show. Of course, a thousand and one small tasks immediately developed. "The job of casting this tremendous dramatic performance was almost over whelming," said Conescu. The military Life Guard Posts Open in Jersey Openings for life guards and a swiming instructor for a public swimming pool in New Jersey were announced yesterday by the Stu dent Aid Office in 208 South. The position will last about three months and will pay a good salary the an nouncement said. IRC Weeds List For New Members Membership committee of the IRC has cleared its lists for ten new ac tive associate members to take the places of outgoing seniors.

At a Debate squad meeting Tues day Dick Railey, junior from Mur freesboro, and Frank Earnheart, freshman from Salisbury, were vot ed into the Debate council. The Dialectic Senate yesterday announced that Marcellus Buchanan, Hendersonville freshman, has been voted as the Di's delegate, and the Phi Assembly has sent E. O. Brog den, Raleigh freshman, to the De bate council. The four new councilmen com plete student representation on the Debate organization. Cecil Hill and Bill Cobb were voted in at campus wide elections recently. In addition to controlling all ac tivities of the Debate squad, the Council acts as controller for dis tribution of University funds among other campus organizations. units had to be contacted and drilled. A multitude of technical directors had to be appointed and set to work, in cluding sound and lighting- men who will take care of a task of tremendous proportions in Kenan stadium. Further enlarging the evening's pro gram will be the incorporation of awards night with the pageant. A wards night, when prizes for athletic achievement, artistic endeavor, and scholastic ability are given out, has traditionally been one of the outstand ing evenings of the year, even when it was a single celebration. Together with the pageant, leaders predict "one of the biggest nights of the spring quarter." Dr. Frank Graham will de liver his annual address to the stu dent body before the presentation. The afternoon of May 8, the same day as the pageant, will be taken up with the carnival in Emerson stadium, Cleaner-Dorm Scrap Moves Latest offer to the striking dormi tory managers, now on a month old boycott against Chapel Hill cleaners, has been made by Mr. E. L. Snider, head of Southern Dry Cleaning Com pany in Durham, it was announced yesterday. To each dormitory the com pany will offer 30 per cent profit. This is 10 per cent more than Chapel Hill cleaners now give and is five per cent more than they gave before their present cut. The only snag in the offer is that the dorm managers must furnish or ar range transportation for the clothes to and from Durham. At a recent meeting of the dorm men it was de cided that anyone with an available car, who desired to take advantage of the opportunity to make an approxi mate profit of 100 dollars for the re mainder of the quarter, would be given five per cent of the net profit from every, dormitory involved on the cam pus. To date this concession is still open and any student desiring to take advantage of the offer should call James Rogers, 7731. Only two weeks ago another com pany in Durham offered to handle the cleaning, but after a one day trial they mysteriously backed out of their oral agreement. - The reason given at the time was "tire shortage." Later it was learned from Mr. H. M. Marcos, head of the Durham Cleaners Associa tion, that the Chapel Hill cleaners threatened to establish a competitive firm in Durham and undersell any cleaning establishment there unless they refused to handle the University dormitory business. Under such a threat this complying company had to withdraw their agreement.

Fraternities and dormitories will be given charge of the various booths that will emit an air of "country carnival .ism" not seen at the University at any other time. As usual for the May celebration there will be no charge for the show, and "all students are invited to attend this pageant." "Each one of the student body should appear for the presentation that will give them in graphic detail all that the University has done since the war be gan," said Harris. Conescu pointed ou that littleof the actual plans has been released. "Most of the program will be a surprise for those attending, but the program heads promise drama and entertainment as well as information of the highest cal iber," he said. CWC Awards Cox, Others Seven CWC Festival keys were awards last night to "the most out standing students in the varied art fields" William Klenz, music; Gar land Peterson, art; James Cox, crea tive writing; Bob Carroll, dramatic art; Anice Garmany, dance; Hugh Morton, photography, and Frank Brink, radio. . Richard Adler, Workshop chairman, personally presented six of the keys, each a gold shield capped by the Uni versity's seal and a writer's quill. The seventh key will be forwarded to Wil liam Klenz, now at an army camp. Klenz was given the CWC award for the quality and quantity of original compositions, including a Mass, sonata for two violins, scene from an opera and ballet music. "The work of Garland Peterson is marked by a sober power," Adler com mented. "His still lifes and landscapes are lucid and monumental. iis pic tures achieve a light which shimmers, and may become flashing and blinding. He must be regarded as an artist of promise." Cox received the creative writing prize principally for his Carolina Magazine contributions. Citations of See CWC, page 4 V-l Interviews Continue Today Lieut.

By Hayden Carruth ' Two petitions for popular referendum to reverse the Student legislature's enactment to combine the campus literary and humor magazine garnered 261 signatures yesterday, more than half the amount needed to force Student government officials to establish referendum machinery. Ben McKinnon, editor-elect for Tar an' Feathers and avowed leader of the forces opposing the combination, posted two peti tions, one. at the YMCA and one at Lenoir dining hall.

Art Review Person Hall Exhibit Shows Student Pen, Brush Efforts By Nancy Smith "Every artist has his day" at the Carolina Workshop's Festival art ex hibit on view, in Person hall until May 7 This isn't an exhibit made up of pro fessional artist's work; it is a student show. Many of the students represent ed have never drawn anything until they took the fall or winter's beginners course at Carolina. Don't come to the show expecting to see technically per fect Work, but do come expecting to be interested. The best part of the exhibit are the panels illustrating the basic studio course. There are sections on compo sition, design, head, figure and object drawing, color and landscape. These panels show exactly what process a painting or drawing goes through be fore the finished product is complete. Actual sketches and drawings are used to illustrate the sections. The figure panel contains prelimi nary pencil sketches that give the peo ple who know nothing about drawing a chance to see how it's done. The signed these two petitions by 6 o'clock. One Tenth Necessary One tenth of the student body must sign the petition before the student government officials will consider it a valid basis for the establishment of a popular referendum. Less than one hundred more signatures will make the required quota. The legislature constitution states that one half the student body must v6te in a popular referendum to ren der its outcome effective, and publi cations leaders last night agreed that this clause would prove the stumbling block in the path of the opposition camp. Although Carolina Magazine and Tar an' Feathers staffs agreed that the petition would probably se cure enough signatures for its legal status, the apathetic attitude of the campus toward the question of combi nation in general seemed to indicate that not enough votes would be polled in a popular referendum. It was pointed out that the more controversial issue of reduction of dance expenditures fell to the same fate. fw "Whatever: office I am appointed to by the PU board, if the referen dum fails, I will execute to the best of my ability," said McKinnon yes terday. "So long as the appointments are made by an authorized organiza tion I will I follow its decision," he said.

Hunt Parker, of the North Carolina 'Superior Court, delivered the principal address on "The Life of Winston Churchill." The banquet was featured by the presentation of a watch to Professor M. T. Van Hecke in commemoration of his services as Dean of the School of Law from 1931 to 1941. The pre sentation speech was made by Miss Phyllis Campbell, of Chapel Hill, on behalf of the students and faculty. Dean Robert H. Wettach announced the following awards and honors: Harvey A. Jonas, Jr., of Lincolnton, highest ranking senior classman, was elected to the North Carolina chapter See LAW, page 4 design panel has some interesting fin ger paintings (a form of painting quite popular inteaching grammar school children) . Piece de Resistance is James Pace's extravaganza which reminds most people of rockets to the moon. Most unusual in the section on heads are three drawings done without look ing at the paper and with eyes fixed on the model. Illustrations show the sculptural masses and shapes of the head. Some gruesome things may be seen in this part of the exhibit. The color section is lurid; the illustrations section is enhanced by a pencil draw ing of Jean McKenzie; the object draw ing section has boards and problems in perspective as illustrations; but the landscape panel is the best of all. Besides the panels on the basic ele ments of painting, there are exhibit paintings by student artists. Tom Biebigheiser, Tar an' Feathers cartoon ist, shows his serious side. For those who like surrealism there are the paint ings of Neal Thomas, two of whose pictures are. now on exhibit in Raleigh. See ART, page 4 '
