Clark Named Head Of Medical Affairs Will Resign Duties at Vanderbilt To Accept Adminstrativc Post Here The appointment of Dr. Henry Toole Clark, Jr., as Administra tor of the Division of Medical Af fairs of the University of North Carolina was announced yester day by W. D. Carmichael, Jr., Acting President, and Chancel lor R. B. House. Dr. Clark is now the Medical Administrator of the Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville, Tenn., and is resigning his posi tion there to assume his new duties at Chapel Hill May 1. The Division of Medical Af fairs is a new Division of the Uni versity that includes five health professional schools and the hos pital the expanded four-year School of Medicine, the only School ol Pharmacy in the state, the only accredited School of Public Health in the state or in the southeastern United States, the new and only .School of Den tistry in the state and the new four-year School of Nursing. "Dr. Clark will integrate and correlate the work of all the schools and the hospital and will represent the interests of all the health professional groups for the University personnel but in the extension of all health ser vices to the state which may em anatc from the great health and medical center being constructed The Student Parly yesterday lashed out at the University Party's recently-announced re organization plan, branding it a search for "political reputation and not democratic representa tion." ; SP Chairman Bill Prince and Publicity Chairman Graham Jones made the charges against the " UP proposals, pointing out that they were "running the risk of being accused of 'mud slinging. " The two SP officials com mented, "We think it is time to recite a few facts. In a widely publicized move, the University Party has announced its inten tions of giving 5,000 non-frater nity students seven seats on its steering committee. "These seven," they continued, 'would thus represent 5,000 non-fraternity students as com pared to 24 steering committee members who represent 1,800 fraternity people." Both asserted that such a par ty system , is - "detrimental , to , a democratic student government and even to the groups supposed ly represented by the UP." Prince described the UP pro posals as "the most flagrant sys tern of rotten boroughs since 17th century England." Prince and Jones described the Student Party as "the only democratic party system on campus," and challenged the UP to "tell the campus how many non - fraternity students you have nominated in the' past at Chapel mil, ur. u.

Reynolds, an isolationist, threw his hat into the senatorial race today against Senator Frank P. Graham. His announcement caught the state's political leaders by surprise There., had., been., speculatio n.. that Reynolds would run talk encouraged by Reynolds but his opponent was figured to be Senator Clyde JL Hoey. 1 Reynolds now 66-years-old, will have clear-cut issues in his battle with Graham. Where the' slight wirey Graham, former president of the University of North Carolina, is a liberal, Reynolds would have to be classed as a conservative. Graham has in the main supported President Truman on both his foreign and domestic policies. Reynolds, in his an nouncement, said he wants the discontinuance of all foreign expenditures after present commitments, such as the Mar shall Plan, have been met. Where Graham has supported anti-lynching and anti poll tax legislation, Reynolds declared he will oppose such measures. Reynolds decision to : battle Graham apparently was based on the clear cut differences in their political thinking. Senator Hoey, from the western part of the state, is more like Reynolds, politically speaking, although Hoey has sup ported the administration's international policy. Reynolds, married five times and now a widower, toured the state in a tin lizzie to win' his first senatorial race against Cam Morrison in 1932. Morrison, then epitomized the race man while Reynolds made much of his poor condition, and earned the name "Our Bob." He. was reelected in 1938 but did not run in 1944. Reynolds, who now is a wealthy man and ..whose ..fifth ..wife was the daughter of the owner of the Hope diamond, is the third man to announce against Urraham. Others are Manley R. Dunaway of Charlotte and Olla Ray Boyd of Pinetown, both of whom perennially run for office but never come close to winning. ing and completed two years of Medical School, He transferred to the University of Rochester for the last two years and he received his M.D. degree there. necessarily make yours a party of vested interests?"

Carolina Is In Running For 'Queen' Collier's Chooses UNC Among Six' Competing Schools The University of North Caro ina has been chosen by Collier's magazine as one of six colleges and universities in the United States from which it will select a college cover girl, Louis Rup pel, editor of Collier's, said yes terday. In a wire to Dick Jenrette, editor of the Daily Tar Heel, Ruppel said that ' the University has been selected among the first six universities from which the cover girls will be .chosen "Please choose the coed in the junior class who, in your opin ion, would be the most likely cover girl in her senior year, Ruppel said. At the end of Spring Quarter Collier's will send its Hollywood photographer to Chapel Hill to take color photographs of the winning coed. I here will be no prizes given"," Ruppel added, "but the contest will result in excellent publicity for the girl, the Uni versity of North Carolina and the Daily Tar Keel." Other universities which have been contacted by Ruppel are Texas, Illinois, California,- Penn sylvania and Massachusetts. Virginia Gals Get Shocked By Two Elis .'Bear Skin' Boys Go Through Dorms As Publicity Stunt LYNCHBURG, Va., Jan SO OT') Shrill cries of - fear were still echoing about the campus oof Randolph-Macon Woman's College when Police Officer T. M. Tinnel arrived tonight. He was looking for two men in bear skins. Desk Officer Bax ter Bersch at headquarters had finally gotten that point straight. At first he thought the woman on the phone had said "two men in bare skins" were running through the women's dormitories. But then she assured him she meant "bear skins." Officer Tinnell found two youths on the campus attired in outfits that bore closer re semblance to gorillas than bears. It was just a stunt, they said. They didn't mean to scare any body. They had said they were Yale University students on a college-to-college tour to adver tise dear old Eli's magazine, "Humor." They gave their names as Joseph H. Chadbourne and Charles Carl, Jn Police sent them on their way after making one thing clear: Lynchburg laws forbids the wearing of masks in the city.

Speaker Herman Sieber said yesterday that Chuck Hauser, Publications Boar d : : . ' . ; chairman and managing editor - reai"ive Mrr Grad School v Established of the Dail Tar Heel, and Billy Carmichael III will lead the pro ponents of the block fee raise. Also scheduled to speak in favor of the raise is Ben James, chair man of the Finance Committee of the Student Legislature. Opposition to the proposed change in the .fee structure has not yet materialized, although any raise is expected to create considerable controversy. In a recent series of columns in the Daily Tar Heel, Car michael proposed that under graduates pay $1 more each quarter and that graduate stu dents' fees be raised to the same level. A bill to establish a committee to ask the university's Board of Trustees' permission to raise the fees was defeated in the Stu dent Legislature's Finance Com mittee last week. Opponents of that measure contended that even if students desired a raise, Trustee permission was unnecessary- ' , Big Wheels WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. A couple of college freshmen who hitchhiked in from Duke University, Durham, called at the White House today and saw President Truman. Of course, it helped that one of them, William Bundschu. is from the President's home town. Independence. Mo., and his folks know Mr. Truman. Along with him was John Carver of Hume. Mo. "W felt like big wheels." Carver said with a grin. Dr. Paul S. Weaver, who will lead the coming YM-YWCA Con ference at Assembly Inn in Mon treat Feb. 10-12, has been, out standing in religion and other fields since 1934 when he came to Stephens College from the Yale Divinity School. During the past 15 years Dr. Weaver has lectured in more than 70 colleges and universities throughout the nation and has appeared before important busi ness groups and conventions, ed ucation associations, teachers, and PTA conventions. He has spoken at the Sage Chapel Series at Cornell Uni versity each year since 1941, and has also appeared on radio's Town Meeting of the Air. He is known to many because of his radio broadcasts of the Burrall Class every Sunday morning. 1, . . 1' , i DR. PAUL WEAVER While Dr. Weaver is outstand ing in his chosen field, he is also a leader in many fields outside of the strictly academic. He is .a member of the Missouri Academy of Science, the American Acad emy of Political and Social Sci ence, the International Council of Religious Education and is vice-president of the Missouri As sociation for Mental Hygiene. During the war he was called to Washington to write "A Stu dent's Manual of Philosophy" for the Armed Forces Institute.

Sent on a three-month tour by Stephens College, he visited Germany, Switzerland, France, Blgium, Holland, Denmark) Nor way, Sweden, and England. (See, WEAVER, page 4) Big Mo Move Set Today NORFOLK, Va., Jan. 30 (JF) Predicted northeast winds tonight hoisted Navy hopes of refloating the battleship Missouri tomorrow, two days ahead of schedule. "There's a pretty good chance she might come off," a Naval spokesman said. He had just scanned a bulle- tin that forecast actual high tide tomorrow will be six inches above predicted high tide for the date because of northeast winds expected to begin this evening and increase .tonight. High tide is scheduled for 6 :39 a. m. Should the sipc-inch excess ma terialize, there would be a water depth of 31 feet at the Big Mo's position in' Chesapeake Bay. The charted depth there at mean low water is some 28 feet. Salvage experts say the ship's draft now is about 26 feet. When the Missouri ran hard aground on a sand shoal Jan. 17 she was drawing 36 feet, six inches. Stage Slight: 'October In The Spring Affords Director Woes By William Hardy If you see a tall, slightly-bald ing fellow walking around the about sardines, chances are you're looking at George McKin ney, director of the new full length play, "October in the Soring " which comes to the boards Feb. 2 and 3. j The big trouble seems to be that playwright Joe Stockdale wrote his play with a much larger stage than that of the Playmakers in mind. To be specific, Stock dale had planned his action with a stage opening of 30 feet, while the local stage consists of only 19 feet. ' The stage is supposed to repre sent three different parts in a town. One side is the living room of an old baseballer's home, the other side represents a local bar, and somewhere in between,-there has to be a high school banquet scene. McKinney, who comes from Walkertown, has been tearing his hair (and that's pretty danger ous business with him) as he at tempts to keep actors who are supposed to be in the living room from leaning against the bar and calling for a short beer. He has worked out what he calls "on-a-dime" action to give the appear ance of movement without break ing out of the confines of the acting areas available. "October in the Spring," which tells the tragic story of the at tempt of a "once-famous baseball player, Dad Voten, to win the love and respect of his sons, is McKinney's first directing chore See PLAY, page 4) A long-needed graduate pro gram in creative art leading to a Master of Arts degree has been established in the University. "The Master of Arts program will be the only program in this area which naturally follows for our men and women A. B. grad uates interested in continuing with a gradual major in crea- tie art," Professor John V. All- cott, head of the Department of Art, said. Up to this time students have had to go afield in order to con tinue work in creative art, or they registered for a minor in creative art in the University with a major- in some other sub ject. The present program will serve art students, art teaching in schools and colleges as well as add to the appreciation and en joyment of art, throughout the state, Professor Allcott said. "Interest in such a degre has increased each year, and we are pleased that the University now has the staff and facilities to ffer such a program of study," Pro fessor Allcott said. Professor Allcott explained that "The M. F. A. de-gree fol lows normally from a B. F. A. de gree, stronger in general acada mic work and art history. "In the undergraduate art training at Chapel HilL the aca demic part of an education is particularly strong, and art his tory is usually developed. Dunaway Says CHARLOTTE, Jan. 30 Manley R. Dunaway of Char lotte, a candidate to unseat Sen. Frank P. Graham in the Senate, said tonight that he was "surprised but glad to know of" Robert Reynolds can didacy for the U. S. Senate. A real estate dealer, Duna way said. "This affirms our statement that Dr. Graham was Gov. Scott's choice but not necessarily the choice of the people of the Democratic Party of this State."
