One Move In Evolution
As we went to press, news arrived that Kegro law stu-
dent James Walker had been installed as a provisional mem
ber in the Phi Assembly. ' . . . .. i
Provisional membership means that newly initiates serve
che quarter before, becoming full members, so in effect,
Walker is a member. .
' Some will question whether there is any significance
in this act. They will point out that Philanthropic assembly,
once the moulder of student government, is now nothing
more than a tiny debating club which spends more time
haggling over parliamentary procedure than debating.
The point is that a Negro has been accepted, on an equal
basis into a Carolina extracurricular activity. The student,
his associates, or friends outside the University have not
resorted to law for equality. A University organization, steep
ed in tradition and good works, has voluntarily made a
Negro one of its members.
We consider this act part of the evolutionary way in
which equality for all can be attained, and attained in a
most worthy manner.

Reviews

The greatest thing to be said
about Academy-award winning
African Queen is its lack of the
usual Hollywood approach. What
could be more unglamorous than
a gin-swilling Humphrey with
a three-weeks beard and Hep
burn as a "skinny, palm-singing
old maid." Undoubtedly, it is the
ineffable performances of both
that saves this picaresque tale
from degenerating1 into a third
rate fairytale of the jungle. Es
pecially notable are the natural
and convincing Iqvg scenes -between
"dear" alias "Mr. Olsen"
and "Rosie."
Though the plot is nothing
more than a series of miraculous
escapes from German pyroman
iacs, rapids, remarkable poorly
aimed gunfire, jungle fever, and
finally execution, the dialogue
possesses two desirable qualities:
wit and realism,
, The movie merits seeing solely
for its photography and color,
technically spoiled by only one
detail. In shooting the scenes
crpssing the rapids, the techni
color got out of hand and a vivid
green spray is all too apparent.
Superior in its absence of slap
stick, the film is shot through
with a high comedy arising, from
incongruity of character. From
the tea-time stomach growling Of
"Charlie," a comic effect new to
the screen, to the pathetically
funny sight; I of ' three f 'cases Of'
Gordon's joining the River, the
humor consists of satire, appa
rent in the minister's ' comments
on the Bishop's success; verbal
play, seen in Humphrey's boiler
side monologue; and. comic
character represented by "Mr,.
Olsen's" invasion of "Rosie's"

'Dear Mr. Hush.
We, the undersigned, grad
i uate students in the University
of North Carolina, who have
work which must be done in
the stacks of the Library, wish
to bring to the attention of the
Administration of - the Library
the problem of heat and the
lack of ventilation in the
Stacks. The Stacks not only
are not cool, they are often
warmer than the rest of the
Library .building. This . is a ser
ious hindrance to the research
which we, and others, are at
tempting to do. The finest
library in the world is useless
if working conditions preclude
prolonged research activity" in
it. Under . present, conditions
such activity in this' library is
seriously hampered and some
times made impossible. Further
more, since the Stack area must
be ventilated entirely by mech
anical means, it would seem
imperative for the health of
staff and 'clients alike that the
ventilating system be at least
partly in use all the time. Yet
this has not been done. We
sympathize with the engineer
ing difficulties involved, but
nevertheless, we feel that sOme
immediate improvement is pos
sible. .
It has been eight weeks .now
since the full services 'of the

Problems
by Rollo Taylor
Varsity Theatre is to be re
" primanded for allowing a fire
to break out in their place of
business while Marilyn Mon
roe .was giving forth on the.
silver screen. And about four
hundred students ought to be
kicked in the face for nearly
starting a panic. -
J ust as Marilyn was looking
her best on Monday night, some
sharp nosed individual smelled
smoke and uttered a favorite
word for that situation. Within
a second nearly everybody was
headed for the door. Thank
goodness some of the people
had sense enough to see what
was happening and calmed the
crowd down.
That is all well and good.
Actually, that is to be expected
in a normal situation, or in a
normal movie, but Marilyn
Monroe, (who is very talented
in the calendar business) is not
a normal young lady. All I
can say is there must have been
a lot of women and married
men in that near-stampede.
But, since the Varsity doesn't
always have control over the
fires that break out, we'll for
give them this time because of
the calmness ,of the staff and
ushers during the commotion.
In one large theatre fire, way
back in time, the manager and
one of the ushers were the
first on the street yelling "fire!"

And from the Dean of Wo
men's Office comes the report
that no girls will be allowed to
leave the dorm with a bare
footed male. Neither is it
cricket for them to wear those
comfortable (evidently com
fortable, there ain't nothing
there) sun-back dresses. From
a male standpoint, it sho cuts
down on the view.
And the shoe deal. It is hard
enough for a native Carolinian
to wear them in the winter and
to dances but when' they say
you got to date, in them in
summer, I revolt. There is noth
ing so nice as the wading
'through dewy grass at night.
There is nothing quite so satis
fying feeling the clean Chapel
Hill mud under a bare sole.
Some people don't appreciate
the finer things of life.
On Campus
Sir John T. . Sheppard, dis
tinguished British scholar and
Provost of "King's College, Cam
bridge University, who paid the
University a visit recently, has
written a glowing tribute to the
University and Chapel Hill in his
recent letter to Dr. B. L. Ullman,
Chairman of the Classics Depart
ment. His lecture was jointly
sponsored by the English and
Classics departments.
Sir John, ,who is on a tour of
the states and who gave here one
of only three lectures at insti-.
tutions of higher learning which
he made during his trip, . said his
visit to Chapel Hill was "one of
the happiest of the many happy
Adventures of a long holiday.
He further commenced, "I like
the spirit of Chapel Hill very
much indeedso long as this
spirit prevails there is no reason
for pessimism about the future."'

Traditionally, Carolina has al
ways offered a summer haven
for beautiful and .smart coeds
who are anxious to get off a few
hours of this or that, and slip in
a few campus courses to boot.
This summer is no exception.
Just the other day when I
walked over, to, Kenan dorm's
water cooler (it's rumored that
it's the best , in town ) , I over
heard one of the regular coeds
who had . come, back , to summer,
school to finish up uttering a
few very un-Sunday schoolish
words about the new : crop who
had just invaded her dorm.
"The noisest group I've ever
heard!" she. moaned. "Really,
they just aren't here long enough
to settle down, and its such a
fresh experience after a year of
school that they think the whole
session is one big holiday."
She went on to tell how girls
form their own little small
groups and stick together
through thick or thin. "They
just need to stay longer and
learn Carolina's spirit of whole
ness," she declared.
Instead of "Who's a good pro
fessor?" the password this sum
mer among coeds is "What's an
easy course?", and "Where's the
swimmin hole?" Yes, sighed the
coed, in the summer it's an en
tirely different place.
But that's only one side of the
story the story which the male
summer student likes to believe.
On the other side are the hun
dreds of female students who are
sweating out courses towards
higher degrees, renewals for
teaching certificates, and courses
in- calculus and organic chemis
try 'which they may never pass.
You can't pull their legs with
this coed-lady-of-leisure-stuffl
Marian Janski, one graduate
who has come back for courses
towards her Masters, says that
although she loves teaching chil
dren and would rather give
exams than take them; she has
found the atmosphere on the
Hill so nice that she has almost
decided to sign up, for classes
next fall. .
"I have found life on a gradu
ate hall so interesting," she de
clared," that I just don't want to
give it up. My roomate is a pub
lic health nurse, and the girls
down the hall are social workers,
dramatics majors. It's lots of fun
to r discuss common interests,
problems, and to find out about
everyone's experiences in dif
ferent fields . .
Yes, up and down the halls,
every girl had different ideas
and different comments about
summer school, but in the office
of the house mother, the com
ments were always the same
"I can tell no difference between
summer session and the regular
session. Girls will be girls.
