THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1951 NUMBER 136 Barefoot Day Is Set For Campus Seniors All Day Tomorrow Nimble footed seniors are destined to dodge mud puddles, campus construction booby traps, and the shoes of indignant juniors come tomorrow and the advent of the annual Senior Barefoot Day. - . Class President Ned Dowd yesterday issued an ultimatum and warning to all would-be ?en- ior shoe-wearers that such ortho- j ' dox antics would not be tol erated and delinquents would not only be displaying their lack of sporting, blood but would be snobbed as social outcasts. A 15-year-old tradition at Car olina, Barefoot Day was designed to give members of the graduat ing class a last fling at careless youth before assuming the digni ties and troubles of the grown-up world they will face when handed a diploma. 1 But present day seniors have it better than their predecessors who orignated the barefoot idea. In the days of a decade ago the naked-footed seniors had not only to deal with the -sneers) of prdmaturely dignified underclass men, but had to tread daintly on the- hard gravel paths. Nowadays, however, most of the campus' main thoroughfares are well bricked and there should be no excuse for bruised tootsies and epsom salt foot baths come the end of it all. y .' ; History has it that the day be- gan as the result of a boast by i Tar Heels that Carolina students had the biggest and best feet of surrounding schools. Last year the name of the day was nearly changed with the sug gestion that it be tagged "Beer foot Day, because so much is brewing." This was quickly vot ed down, however, a"hd the day carries on with its. traditional monicker. , Barefoot Day is all a part of the big Senior Weekend which features a Iree movie for seniors tonight at the Carolina Theater and a picnic scheduled for Ho gan's Lake Saturday morning."

However, he pointed out, the affair is primarily for pure-bred canines from , Chapel Hill and immediately surrounding towns. Two large bronze trophies will be awarded for the best all-around animal in the competition and the runner-up. In addition about 75 prizes, ribbons, and smaller tro phies will 'be given out. As d special feature attraction, Mrs. Betty Theis, professional dog trainer of Mebane, will present an exhibition of obedience by her championship canines.
