Six Carolina Game Student Card Pictures
To Be Shown; Tom Scott Will Be Honored
Carolina's famed color card stunts six sets of them in all
arc coming to life again. And this time even those who so
patiently took part in the stunts all during football season
will be able to see the colorful show.
At 7 o'clock tonight, Memorial
Hall will be turned into a motion
picture theater and movies of the
stunts made at the State, Duke,
Wake Forest, Virginia, Tennes
see, and Georgia games will be
shown.
The occasion for the Chapel
Hill premier showing of the
stunts is the "Beat Dook" pep
rally Which the University Club
is staging from 7 to 8 o'clock to
night. The rally will open with
the showing of the card stunts,
and students will be able to see
such enthusiastically - received
stunts as the Justice to Werner
pass, the Duke-Carolina friend
ship stunt and the picture of the
Stars and Bars that changes into
the Stars and Stripes.
Following the movies of the
card stunts, Norm Sper and his
cheerleaders will take the stage
and lead students in some favor
ite cheers and songs.
The University Band said last
night they would have 100 mu
sicians on hand to furnish music.
Another feature of the" program
will be a stunt by a group of co
eds. The details are still secret
but Frank Allston, chairman of
the rally, has promised this part
of the show will be something
out of the ordinary.
More humor will be injected
into the rally when cheerleader
Joe Chamblis presents his famous
comedy act.
"Those who have seen Joe per
form, know how funny he is,
Allston said. "Those who have
not seen him are irr for a good
laugh."
Tonight's program will actual
ly be a double header, for the
University Club has named it of
ficial "Tom Scott Night" in honor
of tnc coach of the basketball
team. During the program Scott
will be recognized for the fine
work he has done.
"The last time the University
Club tried to have a pep . rally
only 28 people appeared," All
ston said. "Tonight is our chance
to redeem ourselves, so wc hope
that every student will turn out
and let the players know that
we'll be behind them all the way
when they take on Duke tomor
row night."

What is more," he says, "it is the

one can practice without any

A pair of eyes and a clear sky

"Many great figures of the past

mine." Van Noppen is a member
