Workers of the newly-fonned :

The new party backing Wal

But, according to Graham

could be much more useful if
the full building were available.
Each of the publication, all of

Yack Photog Johnson Specializes In Portraiture
By John Stump
"Watch the birdie" 'is seldom
heard, but like phrases are fre
quently used by the Yaekety
Yack's corps of photographers as
they struggle to elicit from will
ing but inexperienced subjects
the pictures from which a good
college annual draws much of its
excellence.
The best of this outstanding
crew of shutter men is Francis
Lavergnc Johnson with whom
the Yack has contracted to have
much of its more unusual work
clone.
Johnson's forte is portraiture
and other work with living
models. A professional photog-
, r,
began in Chicago more than 20
more than his share ' of honors
in his chosen field.
His work has been shown in
South Africa, Holland, Hungary,
Chile, India, Canada, and most
of the major cities in the United
States. Dutch critics were es
pecially impressed by his stylo,
enough so that- they awarded
him the top prize in the color
classification at their show held
in Amsterdam last year.
The award, a plaque, went into
a trunk containing many like it
won by this modest, young-looking
man who has been doing the

New Twist
Oklahoma City, Jan. 31
(UP) The race question in
state universities look a differ
ent twist today when Ihe new
Oklahoma law school refused
admission to a white man, Wal
ter M. Harrison.
The school was set up at the
border of the United States Su-
preme Court when Mrs. Ada
Louis Sipuel, Negress, demand
ed admission to the Oklahoma
university law school.
.The Supreme Court is ex
pected to rule Monday on the
i S:puel case. Attorneys for the
Negro woman argued that the
new three -professor school set
up by the state does not satisfy
the Court ruling that the state
' must provide equal educational
facilities for whites and Ne-
! groes.
The latest event in the wave
of educational race troubles
sweeping the country was re
ported from Newark. Deleware,
where 'the trustees of the Uni
versity of Delaware have voted
to admit Negroes to certain

The ice skating was good
along East Franklin street
yesterday!
At least Bill Shotts, first
year student from Chapel Hill
thought so. One look at the
walking conditions underfoot
and Bill dug out his ice skates
that hadn't been used since his
family moved here from Mary
land. And they worked well
as a means of getting around.
"The skating's fine except
for the ruts," Shotts exclaimed
during a five-minute break.
"It's also a litle rough where
they've already put ashes, but
then everyone, doesn't, have
skates."
, "I'd like to get up a little
skating party today if anyone
else is interested", he informed
us.

Two of the passengers are still

It slid back onto the road, clipped

The swearing-in ceremonies

Pre-flight school here and soon
after the beginning of the late
war, it found that a competent
photographer could be of great
service in informing the public
of just what the navy was doing
in Chapel Hill.
They sent for Johnson, and,
until a navy laboratory was set
up here later, he did all of the
photography of the local unit.
Even afterwards Johnson con
tinued to do their portraiture for
them. .
When the navy pulled up its
stakes in 194G, Johnson decided
to remain. "I was tired of cramp
ed apartments and dirty city
streets and sights," is the way
he tells it now.
At present he has his own well
equipped photo lab at his home
on the eastern edge of the town.
Questions concerning his future
plans bring no definite answer,
but it's a pretty sure bet that the
sporty dressing, young-thinking
photographer and the countri
fied yet somehow cosmopolitan
center won't be parting company
for some time yet.
According to the Yack editors
Johnson is a great assistance to
the rest of the picture-taking
staff. His work takes some of the
load from the capable shoulders
of Lcs Bodden, Wilson Yar
borough, and Bill Harrison, ' and
it is of first rate quality.
