Fail To Stop Powder Bowl Participants
By Jack Claiborne
You got "lady" wrestlers, girl
baseball teams, and women's rol
ler derbies, but here's the very
latest. A pair "of sororities are
planning to participate in a foot
ball game.
With apologies to the Southern
Conference presidents who ban
ned this sort of thing last Decem
ber, the gals have accepted bids
to play in the first anual "Powder
Bowl" game, scheduled here in
Kenan Stadium this Saturday af
ternoon. You'll be hearing from such
outstanding stars, as Liz (Light
nin') Currie, Nancy (Noo Noo)
Cooke, Jarrin' Joan Steiber, and
"Sweet" Sara Rose-all real gals
will real football names.
The girls, who have been work
ing out in earnest for the last few
weeks under the guidance of six
graduating players off last fall's
Carolina team, really intend to
make a game of it.
And no one is accusing them of
flaunting the recent Conference
rule which outlawed member
participation in off-season bowl
games, because all "Powder Bowl"
proceeds go to the March of Dim
es. To parodize a Shriners' slo
gan, it's a sort of a "pretty legs
run that weak legs -may walk"
deal.
The opposing sororities are the
sisters from the Delta Delta Delta
and Pi Beta Phi houses. They Joe Dudeck, and End Benny Wal-
are to be the football teams. But
the entire social circle of the cam
pus is lending a hand in order to
give this first "Porder Bowl"
every air of the real thing.
Other sororities are busy plan
ning half-time stunts, - and the
fraternity men are tuning up the
brass and woodwinds for a jazz
band combo to provide additional
half-time and pre-game entertainment.
ser, all three of whom have been
Tar Heel stars for the last three
seasons, are handling the coach

Center Andy Miketa, Tackle Dal

Skeet Hesmer, likewise past sea

Ike Favored Over Truman
In Student Opinion Poll
(ACP) Ike Eisenhower is a
better than four to one favorite
over Harry Truman for President
among college students, accord
ing to the ACP National Poll of
Student Opinion.
Robert Taft is also more popu
lar than Truman, but about one
fourth of the college students
haven't yet made up their minds
about these two candidates.
Students from all sections of
the country were asked: If Rob
ert Taft and Harry Truman op-
ct,,HPnt! in Taft's home state
nf Ohio are, on the average,
cnmwhat.less in favor of him
than students in other parts of
the country.
Truman is strongest, not in the
south, where the vote between
him and Taft is about even, dux
in the far west. The University
of California, most pro-Truman j
of all schools polled, stacks up
this way:.

The "Ike for president" : move
ment on campus is gaming mo
mentum.
Organized by Clegg Herrin,
Albamarle pharmacy sophomore
the movement is at present con
centrated toward publicizing
Eisenhower. Above six petitions,
one with 32 signatures when last
seen, are being circulated in com
pany with information phamplets
around campus.
A distant aim of the Eisen
hower backers is to possibly in
fluence the state convention vote
through the publicity campaign
and with the petitions as evidence
supporting 'Ike's popularity.
Herrin, native of Republican
Stanley County, , is issuing a call
for prospective . members of an
"Ike for president" club.
"When We have about 100 pro
spects, we'll meet to organize,"
