Wednes day night. Featuring the lovely Lib Thomas as the roving con testant picker and Bob Allison as the MC, the UVA started their regular series of open house off with a bang. - Using a mixture of the differ ent quiz shows that today are on the air the vets came up with a yery successful idea on how to ipp off a night at the local night club. '.'All people present were given a" number, with corresponding lumbers placed in a central box. The MC's most able helper, Miss Thomas, would then draw a num ber from the box, the person holding the same number would come forward and take a whirl at winning a carton, of cigarets and a chance at the final jackpot prize of $10. Once ; forward, un der the spotlight, the contestant would choose a category to suit their taste, or profession as the 'xase may be. These eight catego ries were offered to the partici--pants; drama, musical titles, -Jang expressions, true and false, -government of tne umieu otctlc Wervdav sayings, sporis, and :ongs. . , , of the eight contestants picked nly two won a . chance at the jackpot. To win this chance the wo contestants answered the first ll&ree questions asked them, .thereby winning a carton of cig arets, and then went on to an swer the next two questions. A total of five questions had to . be answered without a mistake. Frances Dulkerian and .Bill Dyer, the two contestants who reached the jackpot question were neither able to answer the ques tion so the jackpot was carried over until next week. The jack pot question? When were the doors of the, University of North Carolina first opened?

Cabinet Decides To Appoint Summer Council The Coalition Advisory Cabinet Wednesday voted for a temporary student council for the summer school Jess Dedmond, president of the student body, said today. This action was taken because only one member of the regular student council is in summer school. Members of the council will be picked . .from . recommendations i made to Dedmond by the party ! chairmen. It is a standing policy that temporary appointments to elective offices be from the same political party: that the regular officers are from, but due to the fact that it will be difficult in summer school to find capable appointees for the offices, Ded mond - said "I . asked the consent of the party chairmen to waive this right for summer appoint ments, and have received their, unanimous approval." Dedmond also has asked George Rodman, ranking officer of the student legislature, to call a special session of the legisla ture to confirm appointments made. The Election Bill of 1948 says that such appointments must be confirmed by the student legis lature. The special session of the legislature will be held next Thursday night. Eight members, two of them women, will be picked from the recommendations made. Final de cision pending legislature ap proval will be made at a cabinet meeting next Monday at 5 o'clock. A majority vdte of the cabinet members voting is necessary to confirm appointments.

Second Session On Intercultnral Work Has Much interest The second summer Workshop in Intercultural Education, spon sored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews is in full swing here and is scheduled to continue until July 20. The workshop, under the di rection of Dr. W. Carson Ryan, was initiated last summer to ex plore educational methods and to find ways to improve cultural and living conditions in the South. The students of the "ex periment in education" come from ten Southern states and represent many different religions and creeds. Dr. Lester Dix, consultant of the Workshop, explained its functions, "This is an investiga tion into human resources. By keeping the students of different backgrounds working and train ing together, we hope to reach a common denominator in thought and way of life." Beside Dix, other consultants for the, group are Marion Quin, supervisor of public school art Lin Elizabeth, N. J., and Myron Schwartz and Virgil Border of St. Louis, Mo.- Quin will be here for two weeks and will leave af ter the completion of the art pro jects now underway. The students are now busy making pink horses, purple and yellow polka dot rabbits, figu- I rines and minature stage sets, for the puppet show which will close the art activities. Later, the workshop students will split into smaller groups from committees now running the study programs. "We want to approach as r many t problem, as possible in order that our "stu dents may inform' themselves about new literature, science and philosophies. They will return to their communities to become cen ters themselves," Dix said. - At present they have a steer ing committee chaired by Phillip Ogilvie, editor of the North Caro lina Catholic, Father Gerald Ma quire, chairman of the Social committee, Velma Patton, head of the material committee, Julius Cohen, chairman of the public relations committee and evalua tion committee headed by Anna; Leahy. Anthropology, psychology, child welfare and care will be topics of lectures by visiting consult ants. These resource consultants are Dr. Hugh Kelley, Wake Forest; Rev. Edmond D. Benard, Catholic University, Washington; Dr. John Ivey, Jr. University Sociology professor, Dr. Ethel Al penfels, internationally known anthropologist and others. Air Reserve Meet Set For Monday There will be a brief, but im portant meeting of the Air Re serve Association in 103 Bingham Hall, Monday night at 7:30. The I purpose of the meeting is to de termine the extent of the local chapter's summer activities and to plan a summer flying schedule for pilots, provided there are enough of them interested. A substantial attendance at this meeting - is imperative since a lack of interest will probably result in cessation of all ARA summer activities on the campus. Invitation to attend the meet ing is especially tendered to new students and to anyone who is interested in joining the local chapter of the Air Reserve Asso ciation. Students Must Apply All men students and married couples who plan to occupy dor mitory space for the second sum mer session are requested to notify the Housing office not later than July 1, according to an an nouncement by J. E. Wadsworth, housing director. Cardg haye been distributed to the campus which students may use in supplying the information. I Failure to comply may result in the loss of dorm space. Johnstone Says Yackety Yacks Expected Today Gene Johnstone, member of the board of editors of the Yack ety Yack, said yesterday he ex pects the first shipment of the long awaited yearbooks today. By the middle of next week, Johnstone said, he expects to have approximately two thous and copies on hand and in the process of delivery to regular University students who have been in school for the past three quarters. ; The delay, according to John stone, was caused by a number of factors beyond his control. The enlarged size of this years' annual, the large number of ir regularly shaped cuts, and the fact that the thick paper has taken a longer time to dry than was first anticipated are consid ered "as several reasons for the unexpected delay. When asked if he had been bothered by anxious students in search of their Yacks, Johnstone stated that he averages between fifty and one hundred phone calls per day. He added, however, that the delay is not the fault of the local staff and that he was not worried about the inquiries, but merely attempts to be patient while explaining the story to the ninety ninth questioner. The Yacks will be distributed from the Horace Williams lounge. just off the main lounge in Gra ham Memorial when they arrive. Those slated to be mailed will be shipped directly from Charlotte. ' 1 1 iii Contract Let for Disposal Plant The contract for the construc tion of the new town-University sewerage disposal plant to be lo cated on the Mason Farm, one and one-half miles south of Chapel Hill, was awarded to the Boyd and Goforth Construction Company of Charlotte by the town board of aldermen at its meeting last night, according to G. W. Ray, town manager. The Charlotte contractor, who was the lowest bidder for the work, offered to build the plant and lay the sewerage line from Chapel Hill to the plant site for $394,574.27. Cheney Electric Company of Jacksonville was given the elec trical work by the aldermen, the bid of that firm being low at $6,158. Jtalph B. Carter Company and the Worthington Pump and Ma chinery Corporation, both of New Jersey, entered a joint low bid of $3,735 for the job of in stalling . pumping equipment in the new plant. Engineering costs of approx imately 6 per cent bring the total cost for the long awaited project to $421,533. which is $3,427 under the $425,000 estimated figure for the completion of the plant. Money for the construction of the project was obtained when the Town of Chapel Hill, long without adequate sanitary facil ities, floated a bond issue of $200, 000 to combine with $225,000 al-j located to the University for the project by the State' Legislature. Two sites on Mason Farm were under consideration for the sani tation project. One of them, known a"s. the "lower" site, was further distant from Chapel Hill. The additional cost for running a sewerage line to this site was estimated at -$75,000. University and town authorities asked the Board of Trustees to request this amount from the state. At a meeting of the Building Committee of the Board of Trus tees, held in South Building on (See CONTRACT, page 6) Lawn Concert Lawn concerts of favorite classical music, excerpts from symphonies, and concert arrange ments of popular songs will be presented by Graham Memorial twice a week during the summer months.

W. Sapp, Jr., both of Greensboro, were elected to the executive council of the party for the summer. Black, Brown or White J Odd Names Just Run o' Mill' By Charlie Gibson 'It was revealed this week that Henry Adams, Charlie Chaplin, James Monroe, and Robert E. Lee are attending summer school at the University. Historians were not as startled as might be ex pected, 'however,' when these famous names appeared in the summer student directory recent ly completed by the YMCA. In the typed directories now available for reference at infor mation desks in the "Y", Gra ham Memorial, South building, and the Western Union and tele phone offices, the letters "S" and "X" have the most and least names under them respectively. While "X" is exclusive for two students named Xanthos, "S" surpassed "M", "W" and "B" in popularity among last initials. The astounding size of the "S" division is largely due to the Smiths.
