She Kiddies 'Rougher Than Vols I Says Combat-Fatigued Choo GREENSBORO, Jan: 9 P) Charlie Justice played his toughest game today, and he played it sitting down. For three hours the celebrat ed Tar Heel football star was mobbed by thousands of shrill, shoving fans in a Greensboro department store. It was supposed to have been Charlie signing autographs for a quiet, simple affair, with the few hundred well-wishers who might show up. Before it was over, children had fainted in the, melee and the police had been called in to restore order. Order really wasn't restored until Charlie was spirited away at 5:30 and the place was closed. The hundred of hero worshippers who got no auto graphs were herded out, but they kept up the clamor with shouts echoed back to Charlie's Saturday afternoons at Kenan Stadium. 'We want Choo Choo, we want Choo Choo," they chanted as the Choo Choo chugged off through a private exit. Panted Charlie, his forward- passing hand cramped witn paralysis: "it was great. . .but it was rougher than the Ten nessee game." ana nis snut was umnp au crumpled.

Charlie Picks Health Field For New Post Charlie Justice, has accepted appointment as assistant to the executive director of a medical foundation working to improve health of North Carolinians, it was announced yesterday. The announcement made it definite that he will not play pro football for the time being it at all. His new job is with the Medical Foundation of North Carolina. "One of my earliest ambitions was to be a doctor and while, due to war service and football it is now too late to realize that ambition, this job strikes me as the nearest thing to it," Charlie commented. Justice closed out his foot ball career Saturday as a mem ber of the Rebel All-Stars who defeated the Yankees 22-13 in Jacksonville's Senior Bowl game. He has 11 years of foot High School, with service teams and at Carolina. The Foundation was orga nized here last May at a meet ing of 200 North Carolina doc tors, business- and professional men and civic leaders. Its pur pose is medical research by financial assistance to the medi cal and dental school of the University of North Carolina. It Thursday fall. The works to be presented Thursday night are Gibbon's madrigal "The Silver Swan," Bach's "Cantata No. . 41," and Schubert's "Mass 'in E-flat." The madrigal by Orlando Gibbons, one of the most famous examples of Elizabethan unaccompanied choral songs, was composed early in the seventeenth century. The Bach cantata, "Now Join We All to Praise Thee," was com posed for New Year's day in 1736. It includes a fantasia on the chorale tune, recitatives for alto and base, arias for soprano and tenor, and the chorale. The Schubert "Mass in E-flat" is the last of six masses by this composer, and was written six months before his death in 1828. It is in the six sections of the standard Mass. The University Symphony Or chestra, which drew plaudits for its very successful concert in November under the direction of Professor Earl Slocum, will as sist the Choral Club. and abroad. Plans are being made to have student competi tion against Pagliaro also. The program will also include an exhibition nf trick shots which will illustrate why table tennis is considered to be the fastest game in the world. This is the same exhibition which has given at Y's, other colleges and civic clubs through out the United States. The public is invited to the exhibition and there will no charge for admission. also will aid in promoting better health in all fields of North, Carolina life. A prime purpose of the foun dation is to raise money for. health projects. " Justice accepted the job two monhts ago. But it was de cided to withhold announcement until he had closed his foot ball career, Major L. P. McLen- . don, president of the Founda- ; tion, said. Justice will be assistant to: Dr. Sylvester Green, executive vice president of the Founda tion. Dr. Green recently re signed as director of the Durham Morning Herald to accept the Foundation job. Justice will give part-time work to the Foundation until his graduation from the Uni versity in June. After that he, will devote full time to the foun- dation. ; He will hot be connected with the Athletic Department of the- University, Major McLendon said. "It will give me great satis-, faction to feel that I have a part, hoyever small, in seeing to it that every kid has the opportunity to grow up with a healthy mind and body," Charlie added. Justice came to North Caro-, lina after serving three years in the Navy where he first gained . national recognition in. the football world playing for; the Bainbridge Naval Training Station. - . Before that he was an All- State schoolboy champ at an Asheville high school. His ser vices were much in demand by professional teams when he imerged from the Navy. Water Main Causes Lack Of Hot Aqua "Wha ,hoppen to the hot water?" was a familiar cry yesterday afternoon. And you have to go underground for the answer. It seems the hot water was cut off all over the campus so the new line feeding Mclver, Kenan, Alderman, Spencer and the President's home could be connected to the central hot' water system. Pre-sealed insulated, copper pipe was used for the two and one-half inch line laid from the corner of Lewis Dormitory to Mclver. The girls' dorms and presi dent's home were supplied with hot water previously by a furnace located in the base ment of Alderman. The new line will cause a saving of about 800 pounds of coal a day, the contractor for. the job said. I. W. Summerlin, local con tractor, predicted yesterday that the connection would be completed and water "flow re sumed by night. - ' Debate Tryouts Slated Tonight All students wishing to try out for the University Debate Team should attend the meet ing of the Debate Council Tues day night at 8 o'clock in the Roland Parker Lounge of Gra ham Memorial, Dave Pittman, president of the Council, said yesterday.

' Ramsay Talk Is Scheduled For Tonight . Phi Assembly Is Sponsoring Solon Speaker Kerr Craige Ramsay, Speaker of -the North Carolina House of Representatives, will -speak at 7:30 tonight in Phi 'Hall to initi ate the Phi Assembly's winter session. The Salisbury attorney, who has represented Rowan County in the State Legislature since 1941, will discuss the "Role of the-Leg islature in Gubernatorial Poli cies. Last August Governor W. Kerr Scott accused Ramsey ; as being the type of legislator who preach ed agreement with the Gover nor's "Go Forward" program but practiced obstruction. Scott charged that Ramsay had sought his aid in the race for the speakership, promising support for the Governor's program. Once elected, Scott said that Ramsay did everything he could to wreck the program." In answering the Governor's statement, Speaker Ramsay, who was unopposed in his race for the highest position in the Legisla ture, declared that he needed no Scott aid to win. I worked with you as best I knew how until you changed your program," Ramsay said in an open letter to the Governor. He told Scott that the Legislature "was never intended to rubberstamp the executive." Ramsay specifically opposed the road bond election as proposed by the Governor. In a letter to Herman Sieber, Speaker-Elect of the Phi, Ram say indicated that his remarks will be based more on "my ex periences than on my research." Sieber said" Ramsay, William D.

There will be no reserved seats. Since the Student Entertain ment Committee is now a part of student government supported by student block fees paid dur ing registration each quarter, the SEC has ruled that in al fairness University students must be given 40 minutes' priority on the 1800 seats in Memorial Hall.
