on a "Voice of America" broadcast on Independence Day,
according to an announcement by the national headquarters
of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations.

the people of North Carolina for
which the United Nations, wa3
conceived."
Miss Stirling's new post was

among the people of North Caro
lina and in the United Nations.
The organization works prima
rily with college and civic groups.
Its future plans include expan
sion into the high school and
teaching levels. It is now cooper

of students who left their ini

But it was not all play for the
weary CCUN members. Their
committees had sat up many
nights watching the dawn wind
sweep the empty littered streets
while they framed resolutions
which might truthfully reflect the
present day thoughts on foreign
affairs of the nation's collegians.
Many of the delegates had in
structions, as to what they were
to achieve and what they were
to say. All over the nation the
college men and women wanted
to be heard through their na
tional organization. They want

out a letter saying that if vets
with dependents wanted to get
the raise for their dependents,
and have it retroactive to April
1, they must file their claim -before
July 1. The vets complaint
is that although he filed the claim
the raise so far has not been re
troactive ta April 1. '

UVA, said that he had contacted
F. C. Shepard, Veterans Advisor,
and that Shepard said if the vets

he would promise action within
48 hours. Shepard's office is on

Shaw No Atheist .
Shaw Biographer Started Career
i
By Jim Dickinson
The George Bernard Shaw col
lection of 10,000 items now on
display in the main corridor of
the library got its start some 40
odd years ago with Shaw send
ing the mandatory message,
"Send me your photograph," to
Dr. Archibald Henderson, who
was then a graduate student at
the University of Chicago.
It all began when young Hen
derson, an ardent admirer of
Shaw and his works, sent across
the sea an humble request that
Shaw consider him an applicant
for the man-sized job of writing
the Shaw biography.
"You look like the man who
can do the job," was Shaw's
prompt reply upon receiving the
aspiring student's photo. A hu
morous connotation of this mes
sage was seen by Henderson
when later he visited Shaw and
saw the author's release to news
men that only a "desperate" man
would attempt to become the
Shaw biographer.
Dr. Henderson, mathematics
department head and the only
authorized Shaw biographer, con
tributed the Shaw collection to
the library recently after 50 years

um Hall Loses
Gym
nasium Claim
Extensive building programs at
the University of North Carolina
have taken away the novelty of
the phrase, "something new has
been added" but local interest
was aroused this week when
something old was taken away.
No longer will strangers in
Chapel Hill wander into Bynum
Hall looking for the swimming
pool or a place to take a shower.
For the Roman capitals, "GYM
NASIUM," prominently emboss
ed across the facade of the build
ing, were scrapped off.
Although Bynum was renova
ted to house the Journalism De
partment, the Press and the News
Bureau in 1939, the label "GYM
NASIUM" remained until this
week.
And during those nine inter
vening years occupants of Bynum
were obliged to explain apologe
tically from time to time that the
swimming pool was no longer lo
cated here and the athletic de
partment was to be found in
Woollen Gymnasium "across the
highway."
Bynum was built in 1905 by
William Preston Bynum in mem
ory of his grandson, William
Preston Bynum, Jr., 'a member of
the class of 1893, who died in his
junior year. It served as the
gymnasium until 1939 when

cases of Shaw's writings includ
ing drama, art, music, novels,
cartoons, caricatures and scenes
from plays. Also included is Dr.
Henderson's first biography of
Shaw written in 1911.
Shaw terms the biography of
1911 as a "signal service" ren
dered him by his lifelong friend
and biographer. Prior to that
time, Shaw, has written, he had
been called a Shelleyan atheist,
vegetarian, humanitarian, street
corner agitator, and a leading
spirit in Fabian society.
"Henderson pulled me togeth
er into one character," he wrote.
"I became an individual where I
had not even been a species. I had
become uncollected odds and
ends. Henderson collected me and
advanced my standing very ma
terially." Shaw wrote that he has
never been able to feel convinced
that he was worth all the labor
Dr. Henderson devoted him.
"But if he thinks so it is not
for me to gainsay him," said
Shaw. "I have tried to give him
authentic facts without hampcr
I ing him as a critic."

University personalities. Instruc

Some lucky Lenoir hall addict

true father of a two and a five-year-old
who are currently out
of town on his vacation, Spear

time and experience for tending
infants of all ages and degrees

. Just an Individual
With Snapshot
A majority of the works in the
collection bear the author's auto
graph, and many contain per
sonal messages to Dr. Henderson
within the covers. In direct con
trast, Shaw has always consid
ered autographs as "forgeries"
and has only placed his name
upon those items sent to his biog
rapher. On one set of books Shaw
wrote, "The best excuse for these
old novels is that Dickens could
not have written them."
A "black and white" portrait
of Shaw hangs on the library
wall overlooking the glass cases
bearing the collection. The un
usually lifelike masterpiece was
painted by William Tittle of Lon
don in 1924 and has become a
work of international recogni
tion. Shaw rewrote many of his
writings and always gave evi-
Idence that he preferred people
to see his works in the best edi
tion. He inscribed this message in
one of the books he sent to Dr.
Henderson, "Consider this a first
edition because in later ones the
millionairess is not a borer (a
j woman boxer is unbearable and
Ion the stage unconvincing) but a
Judo (jujitsu) wrestler." .
