Y Poll to Question
Rink Possibilities
To test the strong sentiment
already expressed in favor of
the -establishment of a roller
skating rink on the campus, a
poll will be held in the . YMCA
lobby today on the question,
"What would be your reaction
to a skating rink on the campus?"
Written answers to the query
must be placed in a ballot box.
Drive ; for the rink was re
cently instituted by six campus
groups WAA, YM-YWCA, In
terdormitory ; council, Monogram
club, and Graham . Memorial.
Supervising today's vote is Nancy
Tucker, recreational director of
Graham Memorial.
Main Problem
Of 321 students polled at ran
dom over the weekend, 06 per
cent favored establishing the
rink. Main problem before the

Twenty
members of the sophomore
class were initiated into Phi
Eta Sigma, freshman honor
ary fraternity, in an impres
sive ceremony held last night in
Roland Parker lounge No. 3 of
Graham Memorial.
The fraternity selects its mem
bers upon the basis of scholarship
and is widely considered to be a
stepping-stone to eventual mem
bership in Phi Beta Kappa.
Scholastic Requirements
Its immediate purpose is to rec
ognize high scholastic attainment
on the part of men who are still
early in their college career. For
this reason, it is necessary for a
man to have at least one half A's
and one half B's during his fresh
man year in order to be eligible
for membership.
The initiation last night was
conducted by the officers of the
fraternity Jess Dedmond, presi
dent; Page Harris, vice president;
Dick Boren, secretary; Dan Mar
tin, treasurer; Ted Young, histo
rian; and Dean Mackie, faculty
advisor to the group.
Fecepiion Follows
After the formal initiation, the
charter members - of " the local
chapter, which received its char
ter last spring, gave a reception in
honor of those initiated.
The initiates are:

Chosen for New Addition
To University's Library
Most of the things discussed
have already been presented to
the University administration, but
it was thought that the Trustees,
through the standpoint of posi
tion, could possibly aid in the sit
uation. Taylor Is Chairman
The committee, under the chair
manship of W. Frank Taylor, first
heard the student representatives
express appreciation for action
which saw social rooms provided
for in the construction of the new
dormitories, the addition of the
temporary- classrooms,' appropria
tion to the library, and the Trus
tees' cooperation in hearing the
students present their problems.
Complaints Aired ...
Chancellor . House and Deans
Weaver, Carmichael, and Spruill
were present at the meeting,
when the student representatives
discussed the following campus
complaints:

The new addition will take
the form of two wings on the
back of the present structure,
changing its T-shaped appear
ance to one of a square. There
will be four floors on each of
the wings, and the book stacks
will be divided into 10 levels.
The library now has nine stack
levels, but the new plans call
another one to be provided for
underneath these.
Cobb said the heating and ven

be done, but that many technical
details of installation remain to
be worked out.
"The committee thinks
building plans should be com

we can let the construction con

In commenting on the general
University building situation, the
committee chairman said the
bids on the new water filter
plant should be in by late winter
or 'early spring, and ready for
action by the State Advisory
Budget Committee.

Dr. Tookie Hodgson tells us
that there is to be a blessed event
or at any rate a birth on the
campus this coming Friday.
A baby which has "been almost
a year in the making from its
conception in Hodgson's mind
early last year,"'the new campus
humor magazine, Tarnation will
emit its first healthy 32 page
yell the day after tomorrow.
Described by Hodgson, its editor-father,
as "the logical suc
cessor to 'Tar and Feathers' only
it isn't too logical" the maga
zine represents some of the bet
ter work , of about a dozen cam
pus humorists.
It will contain a profile of
Tom Eller, which headlines its
serious side, and an accompany
ing article, described by a staff
member as "good-naturedly ma-
now licious", dealing roughly with
the BMOC breed.
A column, "not quite stolen"
but resembling the New Yorker's
Talk of the Town will also be
prominently carried. It is en
titled "The Village Spectator"
and turns the spotlight on Caro
lina and her people.
The new baby has a good life
expectation, if the staff is to be
believed. Perhaps remembering
the foul play met Hi. 'oy some
of its ancestors, they have at
tempted to bring forth a healthy
baby without any crippling de
fects. Hodgson told us that the first
issue was far from perfect and
he pointed to its experimental
nature. "We", he said, welcome
any comment critical or other
wise, because it is our purpose
to interest and entertain as many
of the people here as is humanly
possible."
He went to describe one of
the troubles ' that has beset the
staff from the first. Their friend
who has haunted their office and
is to be found on the opening
pages of each Tarnation section
has not received a suitable name
as yet.
Because he is a "likable old
cuss", they are calling him Pappy
Tarnation at present, but they
are definitely in the. market for
a permanent name for him.
In fact any outside help will
be appreciated by Hodgson who
says, "We're just like any other
parents; we have a healthy baby,
but we want to feed him right."
affairs can be administered more
effectively.
Clampitt was informed of the
meeting by Fred Owen, acting na
tional chairman. At least 43 states
will be represented.
Social Affairs
Several social affairs were an
nounced by the group commenc
ing this Saturday night with a
Christmas party at the club house.
The party will consist of enter
tainment and Christmas carols,
there will also be refreshments
and a community sing. :
On Monday, January 5, the as
sociation will hold a New Year,
welcome-back party. The first of
the regular open houses after the
holidays will be held on Tuesday,
December 13 with the CICA as
guests of the association.
Membership Tickets
Veteran membership tickets for
the winter quarter may be ob
tained at the end of flie registra
tion line on December 15, 16, and
17, Clampitt said.
The group reported that they
have received letters from five
universities and colleges seeking
information concerning the hous
ing questionnaires recently sent
out by the association.
Atlanta, Ga., "The Shiksa" by
Sam Hirsch, Trenton, New
Jersey, and "There Are Spirits
and Spirits" by Claude Rayburn,
Greensboro, will be featured on
the 120th bill of student experi
mental plays to be presented by
the Carolina Playmakers tonight
and tomorrow night at 7:30.
"Weep Into Slone"
"Weep Into Stone" is being di
rected by Arthur Golby, New
York, and takes place in France
during the German occupation.
The cast includes: Pete Strader,
Edna Dooley, Jim Spence, Harry
Thomas, George Upchurch, David
Samples, and William Ayers.
The second play, "The Shiksa",
takes place in a small New Jersey
town. It is under the direction of
Mary Jo Cain, Florence', South
Carolina, and the cast includes:
Sue Shanker, Sidney Shertzer,
Rose Hirsch, Marty Jacobs, and
Betty Young.
Tennessee Director
"There Are SpiHts and Spirits"
is being directed by Catherine
McDonald, Chattanooga, Tennes
see,' and the cast includes: Eliza
beth Savage, Claude "Slats" Ray
burn, Jim Geiger, and Andrew
Griffith. It is a comedy and takes
place somewhere in Dixie.
Hirsch, author of the second

ents as this past campaign only
in reverse order. The University
of Texas, 34-0 conquerors of
Coach Carl Snavcly's club in the
second game of the year, returns
the Carolina visit to Austin by
furnishing the competition in the
1948 opener on September 25 in
Kenan stadium. The following
week sees the Tar Heels journey
to Athens, Ga., to continue their
rivalry with the Georgia Bulldogs.
In addition to Texas and LSU,
other home games listed are with
N. C. State, William and Mary,
and Duke. The other scraps away
from home are with Wake Forest,
Tennessee, Maryland, and Vir
ginia. Five In Conference
Five of the tilts will serve for
Carolina's Southern conference
competition. As was the case this

Gccks Plan Meet
At Brady's Coop
The Raleigh - Carolina Geek
Club will hold its last meeting
of the term tomorrow night at
dusk in Brady's thicken coop.
President Grimes "Geek" Will
iams will preside over tiie meet
ing and will be the geeker for
the evening. He is expected to
lecture on the poultry shortage
in Europe a fowl subject.
It has been stated by reliable
sources that "Hose nose" as Pres
ident Williams is affectionately
known to Geeks the world over,
will ask that all red-blooded
Americans henceforth observe
every February 29th as Chicken
less day so as to permit Europe's
starving geeks to once again
enjoy life.
Chicken-Hearted
As the president is chicken
hearted, it will be a task for
him to make such a proclamation.
However, since William3 is
known never to take things
seriously during a week which
has a Friday in it, it is believ
ed that the time is auspicious
for such a proclamation.
Non-club-member Geeks are
also cordially invited to attend
this meeting. Festivities will in-
elude a chicken - in - the - raw
at ' the Y a!! day 1 feast and a real old-time Morty
Sc? cl;u2-luai contest.
