Carolina Sidewa
Musical Kollege Dean Visits Campus;
Gives Out With Personality, Advice
By Arnold Schulman '
Kay Kyser, vacationing after his recent operation, visited here
yesterday to see "if they've paved the campus sidewalks yet. I
got the feel of gravel in my shoes," he said, "and personally don't
want the sidewalks, changed."
Kyser, lunching at the Carolina Inn with his mother, sister,
and wife, left his food to cool while he spoke briefly to the Faculty
Club, and joined the group in an
"after lunch bull session." His mother
still proved to be the boss, however,
and promptly called the famous or
chestra leader back to their table to
finish his meal.
May Remain Tonight
The Kyser family may possibly re
main here tonight, and, unless their
plans suddenly change, he and his
wife, formerly the famous movie ac
tress, Georgia Carroll, will appear
at the Candlelight room to witness
and participate in the "Mid-week
Melody Show." Kyser regretted that
he would not be able to officiate at
the Daily Tar Heel-sponsored "Miss
Candlelight" beauty contest, as was
originally planned.
"People never believe any kind of
excuse for not appearing," he. said,
"unless a person dies. Then they look
at the box and watch the body drop
in the ground and finally admit, 'Well,
I guess the old guy really can't make
it.' "
Future "Well Taken Care Of"
When questioned as to "his future
plans he stated that since he still, has
three and a half years to go on his
radio contract "that pretty well takes
care of the future to a certain ex
tent." He will, spend ar few more days at
his mother's home in Rocky Mount
before returning to Hollywood to re
organize his radio shows scheduled to
begin next month.
Lovely Mrs. Kyser definitely has
forsaken her singing career in order
to devote all of her time to "being a
good housewife." She is perfectly
happy with her married life, she said,
and now their whole life centers
around the new addition to the Kyser
household.
Hasn't Lost Touch Here
Since graduation here in 1927, Kay
Kyser has never forgotten his Alma
Mater or his old friends. "People
warned me about going Hollywood
when I first started in this business,
he said, "but the way I see it there's
no chance. As long as a person can
still enjoy people and enjoy living,
when the career is through there still
is life."
After watching Kyser pose for pic
tures. endure interviews and greet
old acquaintances it was suggested
that after a vacation like this, going
back to work would seem like relaxa
tidn. Kyser fully agreed, but remind
ed his friends that as soon as people
stop asking for interviews and pho
tographers stop taking his picture,
tW'a t.hA time to reallv begin to
worry.

Among those influential in forming

from Duke University and the N. C.
College for Negroes', who came to
Chapel Hill to consult with Walter
Spearman, regional vice-chairman.
From the delegation a temporary ex
ecutive committee was named with D.
B. Cowie as chairman and Raleigh
Morgan as temporary treasurer and
that committee will call the next meet
ing. Spearman, Broadfoot Speak
Both Spearman and Winston Broad
foot, chairman of the Chapel Hill AVC
chapter were speakers at the Sun

not sincerely behind the AVC princi

as a member of AVC is politically
active" and "becomes part of a legiti

lines."

VA Denies Annual Leave
Except Emergency Cases
Letter to Col. Shepard Clarifies Status
Of Veterans' Ordinary Leave Under GI Bill
In a letter received this week by Col. F. C. Shepard, University
Veterans Adviser, the Veterans Administration officially stated
that ordinary leave to be granted under the G. I. Bill of Rights is
not to be construed or interpreted as leave under the Civil Service
rules and regulations. Although the veteran is technically allowed
30 days leave per calendar year, this f"
It doesn't take a mathematician or an architect to figure out that the stairs in the above picture are 22 lovely
legs long .... belonging, of course, to the eleven coeds who will compete for the title of "Miss Candlelight"
in the "Daily Tar Heel" sponsored contest which will be held August 23.
The winner will be picked for her personality, figure and poise by judges selected for the occasion. Today
is the deadline for entries and all organizations planning to enter coeds should get in touch with Arnold Schul
man, manager of the Candlelight Room, or a member of the Graham Memorial staff.
Reading from the bottom step upward, the beauties and their sponsors are: Margie McKenzie, Sigma Nu;
Gray High, Mclver; Chick Carter, Sigma Nu; Betsy Moore, Phi Delt; Jo Benton, Mangum; Georgina Davis,
Smith; Jane Peete, Tri Delt; Liz Hazlett, Delta Psi; Eugenia Pafe Ryan, Kenan; Jo Webber, Old East; Martha
McCIenaghan, Sigma Chi. ,
leave can only be taken when it is
necessary for the veteran to be absent
from classes while attending to per
sonal matters or because of sickness.
Ordinary, leave provides the Veterans
Administration with authority to pay
the subsistence only in the above
cases. Leave otherwise taken cannot
be intrepreted as "ordinary leave" and
will constitute a termination of train
ing.
"While a student or trainee accumu
lates this leave at the rate of 2Y2 days
per month, this does not mean that the
student or trainee has a permissive
right to use this leave unless for some
reason it becomes necessary for him
to be absent from classes or training
on days upon which classes are held
or the establishment operates," is
stated in the letter as being the official
definition of ordinary leave.
Time Between Terms
Concerning the time between terms,
the policy of the Veterans Adminis
tration is to continue subsistence pay
ments for the exact periods covered by
the term, and payment is automatical
ly discontinued as of the last day of
the term in which the student is enroll
ed. In cases where there are less than
16 days between terms the subsistence
payment will still be terminated at the
close of the term; but when notice of
re-enrollment is received indicating
that the student has enrolled for the
next succeeding term, the subsistence
allowance will be started on the day
following the date of interruption of
training rather than the date on which
the term actually begins.
This action an ante-dating the sub
sistence will not constitute a charge
againgt ordinary leave accumulated
by the veteran.
Over 16 Days
Where there are more than 16 days
between terms, the subsistence will be
discontinued when the term ends and
will begin with the opening date of
the next term.
In a further effort to clarify the
question or ordinary leave, the letter
advised students to look upon ordi
nary leave "as a possible authority for
the Veterans Administration to pay
them subsistence pay for days of ab
sence from class because of extenuat
ing circumstances, and not as a per
missive right to draw subsistence for
periods in which attendance of class
is not required."
