Chapel Hill and the University and welcomed the Rowan County "Brothers of tne tfrusn ana aisxerb The 40-car caravan, now touring County bicentennial celebration, came into Chapel Hill with sirens screaming and bells ringing. Some 150 bewhiskered men and petticoated women stopped in the Graham Memorial parking lot for -a round of square dancing and then proceeded to the Y Court to "wake this campus up." They stirred the campus from a lazy afternoon quietness as stu dents joined the square dancing and merrymaking. This was tne tourtn caravan ims month for the Rowan celebrants, trips which took them over most of the state. Friday's tour included Stops at Asheboro, Ramseur, Bur lington, Durham, Chapel Hill, Pittsboro and Siler City. They were escorted all the way by two High way Patrol cars. The fun-loving folk issued a general invitation to Carolina stu dents to come to Salisbury Thurs day afternoon to hear a speech by President Eisenhower who will be down to join in the celebration. President Gray was made an hon orary member of "Brothers of the Brush" and given a "Shaver's Per mit" certificate. "If you carry this permit," he was told, "you won't get thrown in jail if you go to Salisbury."

The winnings would be accredit ed to the Consolidated University's escheats fund. Escheat is the sys tem whereby because of failure of persons legally entitled to hold it, property reverts to the state. One of the tracks there are two, one at Moycock and another at Morehead City has about $11,000 in unclaimed winnings it has been would revert to the Consolidated estimated. The money eventually University's escheats fund anyway, but the bill would shorten the wait ing time from five years to 60 days. All other sections of the escheats bill proposed by Kemp S. Cate, escheats officer, were eliminated by the committee, Senate Judiciary 2. The only thing left was the gam bling winnings proposal. The proposals killed before the bill was approved would have pro vided for the escheat of unclaimed , .... . , wages and of the proceeds from on- redeemed transportation tickets Another would have made it pos sible to transfer stocks or bonds to the escheats fund. The escheats fund for the Con solidated University is invested and the proceeds ploughed into scholar ships which are made available to each of the three branches propor tionate to its student body.

Clark Reelected Trustee Industrialist John W. Clark, seg regation - minded Trustee from Franklinville sometimes embroiled in student arguments, yesterday was among 28 nominated to the Consolidated University Board of Trustees. He received one of the highest votes accorded any Trustee during the selection. Clark has been a Trustee since 1933 and most recently was in the news in the school year 1951-52 when it was revealed that he had looked into the hometown back grounds of some of the University's liberal students. He wrote letters to various town officials identifying himself as a member of the Executive Commit tee. The Carolinian at WC called on the Executive Committee to cen sure Clark for using the unit's name and when the committee met in the Spring it in effect rebuked Clark.

Bryant of Durham.

Editor "The most effective assignment planning and coverage I have found is to try and make every reporter and editor picture conscious, "John Colburn, managing editor of the Richmond Times - Dispatch, told press photographers and newspaper editors attending the Southern Short Course in Press Photography at the University of North Carolina today. , "Good assignment planning, com bined with photographer initiative, can pay off in a better all-round photographic performance," he said. He urged the photographer who wishes to move ahead in his pro fession to consider each assign ment be it a routine garden club shot or the biggest fire in the city's history as a challenge to make a better and. different picture. This morning's program alsq featured an address by Vincent Jones, director of the news and ed itorial office for the Gannett News papers, Rochester, N. Y., who spoke on "Reader Interest in Pictures." Ed Wergeles, chief photographer of Newsweek Magazine, and Allan Gould, New York, were scheduled to speak this afternoon. "Readership is the payoff for anyone who works for a newspaper whether it be the editor, photog rapher or reporter," said Jones. "Every good newspaperman does his best to keep track of how his product is registering." He divided the newspaper read ing public into six groups and urged the 200 cameramen in his au dience to make their pictures ap peal to these fundamental human appetites. He also encouraged plan ning pictures to meet the appetites of both men and women rather than devote certain sections of the news paper specifically to the two groups. Joe Clark, one of the best known press photographers in the country, who addressed Friday sessions dressed in overalls and straw hat and barefoot, told the cameramen You dont have to go around chas ing celebrities in order to get good newspaper and magazine pictures." He said that some of the best press pictures, are to be found tight in your own back yard, among your own children, your neighbors and their children."

Enrollment for the schools follows: Horton Day At WC Has But 400 In Afternoon GREENSBORO, April 11 WC girls blamed poor planning and lack of enthusiasm for a luke-warm afternoon session of Consolidated University Day, but tonight's social program was more active. Despite the fact the women's dorms here sent invitations to dorms at UNC and State, the visit ing turnout, numbering about 400, and resulting social activity, was low, though there was plenty of female companionship available. An afternoon program consisting mostly of ping pong, skating, and bowling gave way to a more lively program at night with Line Smith and his orchestra providing music for a dance in WC's plush new Elliot Hall Student Union. Previous to the dance, a talent show con sisting of performers from the three schools packed in an atten tive audience. Chief attraction for the majority of visitors was the ultra-modern Student Union Building recently j completed. UNC students remark- j ed, "We need a duplicate copy at Carolina." The building has a huge ballroom, television room, several lounges, postoffice, and offices for most branches of student govern ment. Unable to attend the celebration, President Gordon Gray neverthe less sent a message to students, saying, "I extend greetings to all of you from the Woman's College, i State College, and Chapel Hill, who have gathered together to take part in the activities of Consolid ated University Day. Occasions of this kind will exemplify the spirit of consolidation. "I regret that I cannot be with you, and I hope the day has been a happy one," he concluded. The Consolidated University Stu dent Council meeting went on most ly unnoticed by visiting students who seemed content to enjoy the warm April sunshine and the pert women students. Chancellor Edward Kidder Gra ham of WC, in an interview, dis cussed some of the potentialities of the Consolidated Council. He :hinks that students, as an organic part of the University, should also be available for policy-making on the consolidated level. He believes the council to be an important con tributor to the cause of consolida tion. Noting that this year's council has not spent much time on posi tive projects, the Chancellor sug gested that it study the proposal to have a student member of the Board of Trustees. , Winter Spring 1899 1634 914 987 490 495 254 258 76 74 697 684 177 173 36 43 166 165 48 47 117 117 213 211 86 76 45 30 General College Arts and Sciences Business School Education Journalism .

NEA Teiephoto. J J . WC President Says CUSC Exists Anyway By Louis Kraar GREENSBORO, April 11 The Consolidated University Student Council decided today that it still exists and that President Ham Horton is still a member. "I encourage this body to refuse to recognize Ham Horton's resigna tion," Bob Horne of State said. Then the three-school scuffle be gan. Carolina's delegation, despite un usual make-up and much debate, went along with the other two 'schools when the vote was finally :made. Carolina actually had three different groups original CUSC members, four more appointed by ; the legislature, and President Hor j ton's CU Day committee, j After a two-hour meeting in WC's brand-new Elliot Hall, a res olution was unanimously passed that Horton did not actually quit and couldn't do so unless he re signed as President. The controversy arose last month when Jim Adams, Carolina's top man in CUSC, and President Hor ton quit the group. Things really got hot this week, though, when Horton said the three-school group doesn't exist because Carolina has dropped out. "I don't intend to enter into Carolina politics," Trilby Boerner, WC student body president, said, "but I just want the executive committee to meet." j- Miss Boerner said she was dis turbed over Horton's attitude to ward the group. "My understanding I is that the CUSC is still a council. As for Ham, it's not our fault if he doesn't want to come," she remark- ' ed. The rest of the group agreed. Ken Barton, who was chosen temporary chairman of Carolina's delegation at a front-lawn caucus, apologized for the situation at Car olina. "For the last two or three weeks," Barton declared, "we've been 'Ham-strung'." Tom Sully, CUSC president and a UNC student, delivered a state ment from Horton in which he apologized for not attending. "Hor ton recognizes this as a meeting of students from all three schools," Sully said. Sully, who stated he was in an "unusual position," refused to rec ognize Home's proposal about a half-dozen times. The fifth time the proposal was made, Sully said, "You're going to have to force me against my will, and you'll have to push me." "Well, HI push you then," Miss Boerner answered, and she did un til the motion was recognized. Horne put his argument like this: "Horton can't resign, unless he wishes to resign first as presi dent of the student body. It's some thing that just goes on and on." State's Bill Hagler called the mixup a "political football at Car olina." Horne said that "Horton thought he was doing something real cute." Later he dubbed him "small minded." Horton was expected to attend the dance and other activities last night. He did not appear for the CUSC meeting. Woman's College spokesmen said that Horton started his efforts to break down the CUSC this fall. They termed this the reason for so little accomplished. The WC repre sentatives pointed out that their criticism was not directed at Hor ton personally, but just at his ac tions in the CUSC.
