Diaper Pin Frolics Friday

Costume Ball Highlights
Evening of Final Festival
Sheet-shrouded lads and short-skirted lassies will find Graham
Memorial converted into a magnanimous playground Friday night
when the powers in the director's office throw open the entire stu

WAA Officers
Begin Duties
The Woman's Athletic associa
tion's slate of potential officers
were accepted by acclamation in
a meeting held yesterday after
noon in the Main Lounge of Gra
ham Memorial.
Nancy Deshon, of New Roch
elle, New York, newly elected
president of the association;
Sammy Pou, Raleigh, vice-president
; Janet J ames Lindsay, Ham
let, secretary ; and Butch Hodges,
Raleigh, treasurer, will take of
fice immediately.
First assignment for new of
ficers in their new positions will
be the planning of a tea to be
given Sunday afternoon by the
WAA for coeds en mass. Date
and place of the party will be an
nounced later.
Active Member '
As an active WAA member,
Miss Deshon has served on the
hockey and several other varsity
teams, and also the WAA cabi
net. Sammy Pou of Raleigh, a phy
sical education major, was elect
ed spring quarter as sports dor
mitory representative of Alder
man Hall.
Secretary, Janet James Lind
say, has been a member of the
council, the varsity hockey and
basketball teams, and was ap
pointed spring quarter as soft
ball manager for Mclver dormi
tory. Tomp McCormick, former
WAA president, stated, "These
coeds were elected not only be
cause they are outstanding lead
ers in the WAA, but because they
will be able to cooperate with oth

O Tonight's bill for reorgani -
zation of the Student Legislature
barely squeezes the legislature
and an emergency student gov
ernment under the wire. Speaker
Webster and his solons have done
what one week ago we predicted
as impossible adequate comple
tion of a framework for emer
gency campus government before
the knell of examinations.
O Getting the program down
on paper was one thing, and hard,
but putting it into effect is an
other, and harder. We do not en
vy the Legislature, Student Coun
cil and Town Council the sweat
to be shed in those first few hot
weeks of summer school.
O We still have serious doubts
about the advisability of compro
mising with the whole-hog emer
gency government which Hayden
Carruth recommended last quar
ter. Again, his was the safer
and the more consistent method
of preserving student govern
ment, form and spirit, than the

Two-Thirds Vote
Since the measure is in the
form of a Constitutional amend
ment requiring a two-thirds
vote of approval Speaker Web
ster asked all representatives to
attend tonight's meeting. "Two
thirds of the entire Legislature
must vote on the plan to arrive at
any decision at all. If we don't
have an attendance at least that
large, we will have failed in one
of our biggest objectives, insur
ing the future life of our own
organization."
The Davis proposal, as worked
out late yesterday, leads off with
the abrogation of Article I of the
present Legislature Constitution.
This section set the old represen
tation, 43 members, of the or
ganization. Membership
In its place a membership plan
providing for the split in campus
population to come with the
Navy's inauguration of the V-12
program in July is proposed. For
civilians and coeds, Legislature
membership would be set at 26.
A breakdown of that figure gives
two men to Steele dormitory, one
to the Interfraternity council,
one to the new Town council, one
from each of the four town dis
tricts, two at large from town,
one from the Debate council, one
from the PU board, and 6 hold
over members. Coeds would send
one representative from each
dormitory, one from the Pan
Hellenic council and two at large.
Expected source of debate is
the provision which would cut
out the Law, Medical and Phar
macy school membership entire-
ly.
Navy Representation
To meet the influx of Navy stu
dents, a per-man representation
would be set up for the first time.

one now undertaken by the Leg-
islature.
O Still, if the present setup
does not work out for lack of stu
dent interest, it will not be too
late even next fall to concentrate
all executive and legislative pow
er in one small, central commit
tee. For the sake of the conscien
tious work performed by Web
ster and Company, we hope that
does not occur.
O Tonight at 8 o'clock in the
South Building offices of W. D.
Carmichael, the long postponed
meeting between the University
controller and the student com
mittee to investigate food price
takes place. Readjustment of
food prices, since Swain hall by
July will be used entirely by the
Navy reservists is almost ex post
facto. Where civilian students
are to eat during the coming
year is not yet decided.
We suggest that the food
committee shift its focus of discussion.
