Prizefight and Quiz
Show To be Featured
By Vets Wednesday
The University Veteran's As
sociation Board of Governors to
day announced plans for a July
4 program, co-sponsored with the
Chapel Hill American Legion
and a new type of their regular
open house, with the atmosphere
of a night club, a world heavy
weight championship fight, and a
Dr. I. Q. quiz show.
July 4 Program
The July 4 program will be
held on the lawn under Davie
Popular, and will feature a con
cert by the University Band. A
prayer will be given by the Rev
erend Joyce of the Carrboro Me
thodist Church, and a short talk
will be given by Chancellor
House.
The program, starting at 3:30
will be presided over by Hugh
Wells, president "of the UVA. R.
L. McMillan, ex-state commander
of the American Legion will be
the principal speaker.
The open house, which will
begin Wednesday night, June
24, will be a regular feature of
the UVA. The program will start
as a regular night at the club,
with dancing of course, but will
be interrupted at some point for
the quiz show. Contestants will
be picked at random from the
audience and will receive appro
priate gifts for answering ques
tions correctly. At the end of the
first round there will be a jack
pot question. If the jackpot qeus
tion is not answered then ' the
jackpot will be carried over un
til the next week.
Louis-Walcoii Fight
Since Wednesday night is the
night for the Louis vs. Walcott
championship fight, arrangements
have been made to broadcast the
bout.
Two new men, Gene Braswell
and Bud Hampton, have been
named to the Borad of Gover
nors. Summer Council
May Be Appointed
Discussion of what action will
be taken toward appointment of
a temporary student council to
serve during the summer months
will be the main business at a
meeting of the Coalition Advis
ory Cabinet in the Grail room
at 3 p.m. Wednesday, President
of the Student Body Jess Ded
mond stated today.
In commenting on the possi
bility of such action, Dedmond
said, "We are faced with an un
usual situation, in that not one
member of the elected Student
Council is in school for the sum
mer. And while the constitution
makes no provision for such ap
pointments by legislative enact
ment or past precedent, the
President of the Student Body
fills vacancies which normally
occur during the regular school
session
"And in view "of the fact that
the Men's Council is now hand
ling a case which may possibly
be appealed," the president con
tinued, "it seems desirable that
some action be taken."
Members of the cabinet who
are in school for the summer
term are Scotty Venable, Thur
man Williams, Bill Miller, Ed
Davenport, Bob Haire, John Ros
ser, and Ed Tenney.

French Pictures
Now on Exhibit
Person Art Gallery is now
featuring 41 watercolors painted
by French children during the
last 11 years. These paintings de
pict Paris street scenes and coun
try landscapes, workers of farms
and cities, churches, fairs, sports,

years of age.
The exhibition was selected by
the Museum of Modern Art from

held annual competitions since
1935 to encourage children to
paint their ideas and impressions
of the world about them. A dif
ferent theme for paintings is
given each year and a jury of
distinguished artists and art
critics selects the best painting
for exhibition in Paris. Later the
paintings are displayed in mu
seums and schools throughout
France as well as other countries.
The exhibition of paintings by
French children will remain on
view at Person Hall until July 12,
after which it will continue its
tour of the country under the
auspices of the Museum of Mod
ern Art.

Campus Mermaids And Males

Scores of summer students
with an eye to beat the heat are
daily turning their attentions to
ward Kessing outdoor pool and
the parade of the Carolina mer

afternoons (and any other time)
can be seen the young and the
old, the fat and lean, the shaply,
the non-figured and all other
types of woman and manhood.
They're there for various rea
sons. Some like an occasional

Because of pool regulations the
men must use the gym-furnished
bathing trunks, a green-colored
and scanty bit of cloth which
even fits on rare occasions.
The pin-ups, on the other hand,
are permitted to bring their own

sound judgment and foresight on
the part of whatever officials may

Shapely mermaid Dusty Moore,
journalism major from Gastonia,
says some of the gals' suits "fit

further that others are especially
designed to "squeeze the figure."
Types of suits, says Dusty, are
almost as numerous as Republi

The NSA constitution was ap

tional meeting last summer,
which was attended by Bill Miller,
Johnny Clampitt and Herman
Baker from Carolina. The local
legislature ratified the constitu
tion on May 27.
During the meeting last year,
Clampitt was elected as regional
treasurer of the group and Baker,
now out of school, was elected
regional chairman. Carolina is
recognized as a regional leader
in NSA activity.
Comedy Try-outs
Slated for Today
Try outs for "Close Quarters,"
a one act comedy by Catherine
McDonald, are scheduled for 4:00
p. m. this afternoon at the Play
maker Theatre. The play will be
presented on July 2 as a part of
the benefit program for the World
Student Service Fund.
"Close Quarters," to be direct
ed by Walter Merserve, is the
story of life in a trailer on the
campus of a university. There are
three parts for men and three for
women.
It is urged that all students and
non students interested please be
on hand for the try outs.

the start. She and on-looking men
agree she is more effective at
that point, anyway.
The overseer has never seen
the farm or a tobacco crop but
is perfectly at home beside the
pool. He believes the age of
chivalry is still at hand and
stands by to give the ladies a pull
when they decide to emerge from
the brink. The birds-eye view is
his reward for patient waiting.
Lady splashers have the mer
men typed as lookers and dream
ers and seers. A rare type is
known as the "b2-seener," they
say.
In answer to a question about
gym swim suits, Dusty says
they're "straight and terrible and
not fit for a girl to be seen in
to the best advantage."
As Dusty sums it up, "Some
wear suits to go swimming but
others swim to wear the suits."
Dusty has a bit of advice for
those who have not yet attended
the pool, "Go there for this rea
son or that, but if you want to
swim go someplace else it's too
crowded."
