rector of the Chapel of the Cross, has
announced his acceptance of the post'

came associate rector of The Chapel
of the Cross while the Revj A. S. Law

The important "figures" in the state-wide beauty contest to select Miss North Carolina of 1946 are some
what obscured in this picture, but on the other hand the judges deserve some credit for their choice and a re
ward for their labors. And five Chapel Hill judges out of the seven couldn't be wrong in their selection of
the queen. Trudie Riley, of Wilson, wearing her crown, captured first place in the contest.
Reading clockwise around the circle, Betty Brewer, of Rocky Mount, was second, and tied for third place were
Avis Warlick, of Kings Mountain, and Mary Jarman, of Wilmington. Names of the judges, left to right, are:
Phil Whitten, Tobacco Radio Network commercial manager; Noel Houston, Chapel Hill author of "The Great
Promise"; James Street, Chapel Hill author of "The Gauntlet"; Sam Ragan, State Editor of the Raleigh News
and Observer; R. W. Madry, Chapel Hill mayor and director of the University News Bureau; O. J. "Skipper"
Coffin, dean of the University's School of Journalism; and Dr. William Olsen, head of the University's Public
Speaking Department.
The winner and runners-up were chosen according to the rules of the national contest at Atlantic City,
which is to be held next month. During the afternoon on Saturday the contestants presented their talents in
singing, recitations, dancing and piano recitals. Saturday night they appeared in evening gowns and uniform
bathing suits. Vital statistics on Miss Riley are: height, five feet six; weight, 118 pounds; bust, 32 inches;
waist, 23 inches; hips, 33 inches; and a ze 62 shoe. She is 19 years old, a graduate last fall of the Wilson
high school, and has light brown hair and blue eyes.
The University of North Carolina has been given the go-ahead
sign in its attempt to secure barracks at the Raleigh-Durham air
port in a statement by John P. Swain, chairman of the airport
authority, who stated that there would be no opposition to UNC's
bid. The University at present is seeking use of 14 barracks, two
I mess halls and two bath houses at the
airport for use of graduate students
in the statistics department this fall.
The barracks, if procured, would not
be moved to the Carolina campus but
would remain at the airport, approxi
mately 25 miles distant.
Airport Not Opposed
"The Raleigh-Durham Airport Au
thority would not be opposed to any
move by the University of North Caro
lina to secure use of government-owned
barracks at the airport as housing
for students," stated Swain.
The barracks being soujrht are one
story structures, about 60 feet long,
with stoves in each end of the build
ing. Between 40 and 60 apartments
could be made out of the Jaarracks, and
they would be used mainly to house
married veterans.
Recently President Frank Graham
visited Washington in an effort to se
cure authority to use the barracks for
students. Under his plan, the war
time structures would not be remov
ed from the airport grounds or torn
down for lumber, but would be recon
ditioned for use as dormitories.
House Overflow Students
Graham pointed out that because of
their central location, the buildings
could be used to house overflow stu
dents. He said thajt while it would be
necessary for students to commute,
the distance would not Impose a great
handicap.
The buildings desired by the Univer
sity are all located on 900 acres of land
adjoining the airport proper. In ad
dition to the barracks being sought are
about 25 other small buildings on the
land that are also available.
"The airport authority is not inter-Jested
in doing anything which would
keep those buildings from being used
by the University students, especially
former servicemen," declared Swain.
