Joyce Peterson Chosen
UNC Beauty Contestant
Carolina Beauty Vies for National Honors
In Affair Sponsored by Advertising Agency
Queen of queens for Carolina this year is a 19-year-old junior,
Joyce Peterson, of Brooklyn, N. Y. Twice honored once when
she was culled from 4,0 campus beauties at the Yack Beauty ball
and once again this week-end when heads of various campus
publications picked her from the
group of already titled best-lookers
Miss Peterson is now tangled in the
web of another beauty contest.
This time it's a national affair with
quite a set of rewards. Sponsored by
the Kaufman Company, New York
advertising agency, the current com
petition would pick a beauty as a
focal point for a national advertising
campaign for a yet unnamed product.
The winner in the national compe
tition will receive a week of model
work with what the agency calls
"handsome remuneration," a screen
test for Eagle-Lion pictures, and na
tional recognition.
Miss Peterson's picture and back
ground information got underway to
the Kaufman ..agency on Sunday.
Rapid' choice of the top campus
beauty was necessary since informa
tion regarding the competition was
received too late to provide a queen
through vpte before the June 15
deadline set by the agency.

House committee last Saturday de
clared the SCHW "perhaps the most,
deviously camouflaged Communist
front organization."
The committee finger-pointing
brought immediate denials from Dr.
Clark Foreman, president of the con
ference, and protest from Perrell
(Perry) Payne, former chairman of
the campus chapter of the organiza
tion. . Said Payne: "Reform, not revolu
tion, is the basis for the conference."
Payne denied any knowledge of
"revolutionary elements" in the con
ference. "If there are any,", he said,
"I do not believe they represent the
views of the majority of members."
He added they didn't represent his
own views.
The committee's charges will be
discussed thoroughly at the campus
chapter's executive meeting tomor
row afternoon at 5 o'clock in its
YMCA "office. There is a possibility
that the group will have a copy of
the complete Congressional commit
tee report, for which Payne has
written.
However, a similar attempt to get
further information by Rev. Lee
Sheppard, Baptist minister of Ra
leigh, who is chairman of the SCHW
in North Carolina, has netted no re
sults. Rev. Sheppard has addressed
the FBI for evidence against the con
ference. Highlights of Report

Linked with the conference were
Henry A. Wallace, Melvyn Douglas,
Mrs. Marshall Field, Harold L.
Ickes, Joseph E. Davies, Dorothy
Parker, Paul Robeson, and Dr. Gra
ham. (Dr. Graham was described as
first chairman and now honorary
president of the conference, and "not
a communist.")
Committee "evidence" linked the
central committee of the Communist
party with "the affairs of the con-.
f erence from its very inception."
"Conclusive proof" that the organ
ization is a communist front, accord-
jing to the report: its "strict and un
varying conformance to the line qf
the Communist party in the field of
foreign policy."
University to Receive Grant
From Carnegie Foundation
Carnegie Corporation of New York
has granted $250,000 for an experi
mental five-year program to develop
four permanent university study cen
ters on Latin America, it has been an
nounced by Dr. O. C. Carmichael,
special adviser to the corporation and
president of the Carnegie foundation
for the advancement of teaching.
The project will be carried out
jointly by the University of North
Carolina, the University of Texas, the
Tulane university of Louisiana,, and
Vanderbilt university, with each in
stitution concentrating on a definite
geographical area. North Carolina
will focus on area studies of Spanish
South America.
Designed to make available com
prehensive knowledge of Latin Amer
ica to students, teachers, businessmen
and government officials, the program
will provide in each center a strength
ened undergraduate curriculum, broad
er facilities for graduate work and an
expansion of library resources. For
businessmen, 'missionaries and other
non-student groups, the University of
North Carolina, as a part of its expan
sion plan, will experiment with-intensive
language courses to be gifen by
instructors from Latin America.
Under the program, each center will
coordinate its work with the others
through an inter-university commit
tee, annual conferences, cooperative
summer schools and exchange of
teachers and information. Stressing
the importance of the joint planning,
Dr. Sturgis E. Leavitt, secretary of
the preliminary conference for the pro
gram and director of the University of
North Carolina's Inter-American In
stitute, said :
"In so wide a field as Latin America
it is evident that no single university
can reasonably expect to develop a
program which wilt adequately meet
the need for trained personnel in in
dustry, foreign service, religion,
scholarship and teaching. A pooling
of resources among several institu
tions seems to be the most effective
answer to the problem, and the experi
ence of certain southern universities
in library cooperation points the way
to a more extensive program of joint
action in the area of Latin American
studies."
Each of the cooperating universi
ties has already laid the groundwork
for such a center, Dr. Carmichael
pointed out. The University of North
Carolina has done intensive work in
South American languages, literature
and political theory and has made con
centrated studies of sucli southern
countries as Argentina, Chile, Para
guay, Uruguay and Venezuela. Un
der the new plan, its present inter-departmental
program will be expanded
to give more emphasis to economics,
geography, history, music and sociology
in the southern Latin-American area.
