Sigma Chi's
Sextet Proves
Very Popular
By Don Maynard
The University is a citizenry of
varied tastes capable of recogniz
ing when something good comes
their way. And, judging from the
enthusiasm with which they re
ceived a student-conceived song j
glorifying their idol, Charlie
"Choo-Choo" Justice, the song is!
"something good."
'All the Way, Choo-Choo,"
written by a Sigma Chi music
major. Hank Beebe, and a suc
cessful Chapel Hill businessman,
Orville Campbell, has met with
such, universal acceptance that it
may well be classed as one of
the University's fightingest fight
songs. ; . -
Eight men had a hand in put
ting "All the Way, Choo-Choo"
across to the public. Two have
already been mentioned as a
team. There is another team of
six without which the song might
never have gotten past the sheet
muci stage: The Sigma Chi Sex
tet. It is almost phenomenal how
the 23-year old, Pitman N. J.
graduate student in music, Hank
Beebe, has gathered six men
from the ranks of his 100 or more
fraternity brothers of Sigma Chi
and knitted them into a compact,
harmonious singing group .that
has taken the campus and state
by storm. ,
Originally a quartet, formed in
the summer of 1946 solely for the
personal enjoyment of the fra
ternity brothers, the Sextet grew
under the touch of Beebe into a
professional organization that has
appeared throughout the state of j
North Carolina and been called by
Acting President W. D. Carmi
chael, Jr., "the greatest sextet,
THE ONLY SEVEN -MA.? SEXTET aicund these parts is

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. Dec. 8,
(j?) A. D. Holt, president of
the National Education Associa
tion, said tonight there is "every
assurance" Congress will provide
federal aid for public education.
The Senate at its last session
passed legislation to provide
$300,000,000 a year in grants to
states for teachers' salaries and
other school operating expenses.
The bill got bogged down in a
religious controversy in the
House.
"We have every assurance that
Congress when it reconvenes will
extend to all phases of our public
school program the federal assist
ance which has enabled vocation
al education to make such mag
nificent progress in years past,"
Holt said.
In an address delivered before
the American Vocational Associa
tion, Holt added that vocational
education is a federal aid pro
gram "which has been in success
ful operation for 30 years."
He cited Mississippi and Con
necticut as examples Oi opposite
extremes in per capita numbers of
school children and finances for
their education and of how feder
al aid for vocational education gave the Catholic
makes u possiDie lor botn stales
to maintain relatively high mini--rr.um
salaries for qualified voca
tional teachers.
This aid has enabled Missis-
tional program stands as an oasis
in the desert for the school sys
tems of thousands of the poorer
communities throughout the na
tion." Holt, who is also executive sec
retary of the Tennessee Educa
tion Association at Nashville,
said federal aid tends to increase,
rather than decrease, state and
local efforts in support of educa
tion. : He added that in "seeking gener
al federal aid the national educa
tion association has "no desire to
supplant special aid for vocation
al education."
"Insfead of advocating the dis
continuance or reduction of feder
al aid to vocational education, we
advocate the extension of its
well-proved benefits to include
all aspects of our public school
program," he said.
Newspapermen Ask
If Graham Target
In Recent Speech
' RALEIGH, Dec. 8 (Form
er Senator W. B. Umstead of Dur
ham declined today to say wheth
er he. was talking about Senator
Frank Graham in several speech
es he has made recently.
Umstead, who is considered a
possible candidate to oppose
Graham in the Democratic pri
mary next year, spoke today at
the American Legion luncheon
club here.
In his talk, Umstead repeated a
statement he had made in several
recent speeches, saying:
"Those of our citizens who lend
themselves or their influence to
the maintenance and, operation of
Communist-front organizations in
this country through some sort of
strained and unrealistic pretense
of liberalism in my opinion do
violence and harm to all patri
otic and sound liberal causes."
Umstead was cornered by
newsmen after his speech and
asked if this was a reference to
Senator Graham. He replied:
"The statement speaks for '. it
self. I was talking of no particular
individual." Then he added:
"If it fits anybody it fits them."
Umstead also was asked if he
has decided whether he will make
the race against Senator Graham.
"I have no statement to make
on that at this time," he said.
Asked when a statement could
be expected, he answered:
"I haven't fixed a date yet "and
don't intend to."
Umstead was named to the
Senate in 1946 by Governor Cher
ry after the death of Josiah Bail
ey, but was defeated for the Sen
ate post in the primaries last
May by the late J. Melville
Broughton. Senator Graham was
appointed by Governor Scott
when Broughton died shortly af
ter assuming office.

When the 14th annual Cotton
Bowl comes out in all its pomp
and glory Jan. 2, the 75,347 fans
present will be gazing on two
teams that were hardly consider
ed bowl material back in the first
week of September when self
styled experts were naming their
own national leaders and bowl
opponents.
The only hitch to these pre
season predictions was that the
experts failed to reckon with a
few players, well known to their
respective fans as Charlie Justice,
"Froggy" Williams, Art Weiner,
and others.
The Tar Heels were missing the
big experienced linemen that
helped carry them to an unde
feated season the year before,
and were given little chance of
repeating their 1948 successes
Rice had had a good team back
in '48 but were rated a good bit
behind Southern Methodist in
early-season Southwestern Con
ference predictions.
Disregarding their appointed
fates the two teams went through
the season undefe'ated in their
own conferences - and gained the
Cotton Bowl bids, Rice as host for
the Southwestern Conference and
Carolina as the visitor in its third
bowl game in four years.
The- Cotton Bowl, which was
originated back in 1937 by a Dal
las oilman, has seen many wild
and hair-raising games in the 13
that have been played there in
the Dallas stadium.
In fact, the classic is noted for
its close games, with the margin
of victory only once having gone
over two touchdowns. The usual
.script reads for a high scoring
game on the part of both teams.
As the Dallas publicists are
quick to point out, the Cotton
Bowl is the only bowl game op
erated by a collegiate conference.
When J. Curtis Sanford, the Dal
las oilman, brought TCU and
Sammy Baugh against Marquette
in 1937, the event proved so pop
ular that he sponsored the game
for the next four years.

There must have been a long,
disappointed face on a certain
young man in Boystown, Neb.,
last night, but it couldn't have
been any longer than a number
of those seen on campus.
For the word came yesterday
that Hubert Sutton, 15-year-old
freckle-faced orphan from
Selma and "Roanoke Rapids,
couldn't go to the Cotton Bowl
game in Dallas Jan. 2. He had
been waiting a long time to see
his idols, Charlie Justice and
Art Weiner, play football, but
his dream was not to come
true.
Hubert first came to the at
tention of Tar Heels when he
wrote a letter to the University
last year asking for a picture
of Charlie Justice. He got the
picture.
Another letter from the red
headed "boy turned up this
year.t Hubert, asking for pic
tures of both Justice' and Art
Weiner, got more than he bar
gained for.
He got a trip to Dallas to sec
Charlie and Art play. The Pi
Kappa Alpha fraternity offer
ed to finance his adventure
completely.
Yesterday a phone call came
from Father Walsh, second-in-command
at Boystown. Speak
ing for Monscigneur Weggner,
director of the famous school
founded by the late Father
Flannagan in 1917, Father
Walsh had this to say:

That word came from sources
close to the University and to a
special committee named to rec
ommend a successor to Dr. Frank
P. Graham as president of the in

pointment by Governor Scott to
the U. S. Senate.
One source said that should the
committee vote now, its choice
would be Gray. The Army Secre

This source added that other
leading prospects for the presi

Roy feels that his 30 years of
