Norman
Cordon, UNC Graduate,
Gives Recital Tomorrow
By Janice Feitelberg
Another prominent Carolina alumnus returns tomorrow night to give a
concert in Memorial hall at 8 :30.
The once boy soprano has travelled from the church choir loft to the Mephiso
phelian deviltry of "Faust." There was a time when Norman Cheshire Cordon,
Jr., at eight, earned $.25 every Sunday morning for singing in the choir of St.
Peter's Church m Charlotte. Cordon was born in Washington and at eignt,
moved with his family to Charlotte
Born into a family of music lovers, there was a natural insistence that he
study the piano. This he refused to
do, having no intention of becoming
the sissy that he was convinced such
a course would make of him. Today he
wishes that some one had made him
practice.
In ihat critical adolescent period of
voice-changing, he was a student at
the Fishburne Military school. He
never sang a note but played the saxo
phone instead. Later he entered the
University and in the Carolina Glee
Club began to sing in his new voice,
a basso-baritone. His family had mov
ed to Winston-Salem and for two
years he studied music at Salem Col
lege. His real debut in opera came in
"Sketches from Operas" presented by
the school. .
It was the advice of Paul Weaver,
however, director of the Glee Club at
Chapel Hill, which swayed Cordon to
his present career.
In his four seasons with the Metro
politan Opera association, he has sung
in 297 performances of 43 roles. His
concert activities have included per
formances with the Boston Symphony,
New York Philharmonic-Symphony,
Cincinnati Symphony orchestras and
the Montreal Concerts Symphoniques;
as soloist at the Ann Arbor May Fes
tival, the Cincinnati May Festival, the
Mozart Festival in Asheville, and at
the Berkshire Symphonic Festival at
Lenox. Mass.
His operatic career has not been
confined to the Metropolitan in Mew
York, His success there has led to a
demand for his services in San Francis
co. Chicago. Cincinnati, St.. Louis, and
Hollywood. Last summer he paid his
first visit to the historic Central City
Onera House, where a yearly festival
of drama and opera has attracted most
of the great actors, singers, and
musicians of our time. He has also ap
peared with the Monte Carlo Grand
Opera in Caracas, Venezuela.
' He wears thick tweeds, heavy
brogues and no muffler in weather that
would congeal the tonsils of any other
singer alive.
Critics describe Cordon's, perform
ances as "elegant and sinister" and his
voice as having "ample breadth and
weight for. the ringing proclamation,
permitting him to display the tnree-
Jionemn!! nUAlltieS OI IH iiiawu-
uum1'-'4v'
ment."

Air Cadet Exams
To Be Given
Monday Morning
Mental and physical examinations
for enlistment as aviation cadets un
der the college deferment plan will be
given tomorrow morning beginning at
8 o'clock in the lobby of Woollen gym
nasium, Dr. W. D. Perry, director of
the Bureau of Military Information,
stated yesterday.
Students have been urged to report
early to the cadet examining board. A
mental "screening test" will be given
first, and will reauire about three
hours. After a short intermission for
lunch, during which time the examina
tions will be graded, physical exami
nations will be given to those students
who passed. If the student passes the
physical he will be sworn in.
The new plan of the Army Air Corps
allows students to enlist now and re
main in school until graduation before
going into active service and training.
The entire plan was explained to stu
dents here two weeks ago at a special
mass meeting.'
College men between the ages of 18
and 26 inclusive are eligible and are
required to pass the mental and physi
cal tests before enlisting.
Regardless of present year in col
lege, eligible men will be allowed to
get their degrees under the new plan.
Those who are accepted will be placed
on the inactive reserve lists of the Air
Force. Upon graduation or voluntary
withdrawal from school, they will be
taken in as Aviation cadets and train
ed to win their commissions in about
eight months.
While in training as Aviation cadets,
the men will receive $75 per month
and $1 per day subsistence. Upon grad
uation, they receive second lieutenants'
commissions with salaries ranging
from $183 to $245 monthly.
Several branches of work are avail
able under the Air Corps Aviation ca
det training. Flying officers may train
as pilots, navigators, or bombardiers.
Ground crew officers may train in
meteorology, communications, arma
ment, photography or engineering. The
flying classifications require no specific
academic training, but certain qualifi
cations are required for the ground
crew specialists.
Applicants for the examinations
must furnish birth certificates, three

Talk Carolina
AN EDITORIAL
We know Carolina. We know it cold, inside and out, backward
and forward. We know its secret spots, its hidden treasures,
the angles of getting the best out of what it gives us.
We know that a certain prof is best in a certain course. We
know that South building can perform miracles in vocational
guidance. We know that we can be a thousand miles away and
still be Carolina men through the Extension Division.
We know all that Chapel Hill off ers. We know that you stand
on the other side of Raleigh street to bum to Durham. We
know that in the spring the iris and the dogwood make the
Arboretum a place of beauty.
We know that you can always have a fine old time out in
Battle Park with the gang and some juicy hot-dogs over a
roaring fire. We know that our coeds have liberal hours, almost
complete freedom of action.
We know that we can write what we please in our publica-x
tions and that we can say what we please from our platforms.
We know that we can disagree with our fellow students and
with our professors if we so desire and suffer only the thrill
of a heated bull session. .
We know that our individualism is unchallenged, that col
lectively or singly we are responsible only to ourselves. We
know that we make our own rules and live by them, as gentle
men and honorable citizens. We know that if we don't like the
way our campus is being run we can do something about it.
We know our laws. We made them. We know that we sit
down for an exam, walk out, walk back in, and our integrity
remains unquestioned. We know that if one of us violates the
laws we have made for ourselves we have the right and the
power to judge him fairly and judiciously; he knows that he
will be treated as a free man deserves to be. treated.
We know our minds, academically, for we formed our opin
ions under the guidance, the teachings of our professors rather
than under their suasions.
We know that if there is any field in which we feel we excel,
that field lies here for us to develop. We know that our many
activities keep us constructively busy, building building our
selves, our minds, our freedoms, and our state and nation.
We know all this. We know even more. Why, man, we could
talk for hours without end and never exhaust the things we
know and love about Carolina.
We didn't even mention the men here, the people, the friend
liness, the beauty, the progressive scientists, the researchers
the hundreds upon hundreds of little things that add up to the
sum total of . . . Carolina is a pretty fine place to live and go to
school.
We know all this.
We must start spreading it around all this that we know.
The University stands on the threshold of institutional patho
psychoneurosis. We are the doctors, the cure-all smart boys,
if you like, that can move this threshold and change it to an
electric eye magic portal.
We can be the 3500 salesmen for the University. When we go
home, when we travel about we can recruit new students, new
blood, new progress for Carolina. War is on our shoulders drip
ping on that wilting posy in our covert and flannel lapels. That
war means clamps for Carolina if we don't let our friends and
their friends in on what we know about it.
e
A shrinking enrollment need not be Carolina's bugbear. We
can prevent it.
LET'S TALK CAROLINA. You can help the University
through the war. You can keep its pulse of Carolina pounding
withlhergy and vigor throughout the desperate times that lie
ahead.
LET'S TALK CAROLINA. Sell our University. Sell it
straight and right and honestly. Learn about it and know it.
Read the special supplement in this issue. Then you'll know
it even better.
LETS TALK CAROLINA. Put the boys back home onto a
good thing.

By Harry Hollingsworth
GREENSBORO, May 9. Red Bea
ton's single climaxed a thrilling ninth
inning rally in which Carolina scored
four runs to lick Duke, 5-4, here te-
I night before 1200 wildly cheering fans.
Tne victory gave tne rar iieeis at least
a tie with Duke for the Big Five title.
With one man down in the ninth and
Carolina trailing 4-1, Bo Reynolds dou
bled to right field and scored on Lew
Hayworth's ' single to left. Reynolds'
blow took a bad hop and bounced out
of the reach of Byam.
McCaskill Pinch Hits
Leoi McCaskill, hitting for Jack
Hussey, who batted in Carolina's first
run, drew a walk after running the
count to 3-2. Mac Morris, who broke
up the State game Thursday, came
through with a nicely-placed Texas
leaguer to right field and Hayworth
tallied the second run of the inning.
Claude Myers, who collected Carolina's
first hit in the third inning, doubled
down the left field foul line to bring
in McCaskill with the tying run.
Benton ran the count to 2-2 and then
fouled off three pitches before con
necting with a clean single to right
field. The ball bounced up against the
fence at the 325-foot sign. He attempt
ed to squeeze in Mac Morris on the
second pitch, but McCahan threw the
ball out of his reach and Morris was
caught at the plate.
Up until the Tar Heels started their
rally in the ninth Duke's Bill McCahan
appeared to have the Tar Heels well
in hand. Even after Johnson fanned to
start the ninth, he appeared able to
retire the Tar Heels without any trou
ble. Typical Rally
The rally was typical of the Carolina
games, however, ana Kept tne iar
Heels in the running for the Southern
conference title.
The game was the best played of
the Greensboro series and kept the
fans, who were sprinkled over this
huge World War Memorial stadium, on
their toes throughout.
After Carolina scored its run in the
fourth, the Tar Heels didn't threaten
again until they, won the game in the
ninth.
