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 University was a step closer

yesterday after a General Assembly
committee agreed it should get un

The winnings would be accredit

persons legally entitled to hold it,
property reverts to the state.

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

The proposals killed before the
bill was approved would have pro

The escheats fund for the Con

the proceeds ploughed into scholar

each of the three branches propor

J. W. 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.
A joint House and Senate Com
mittee of the General Assembly ap
proved the nominations and a joint
session of the full bodies will form
ally elect the Trustees.
Also reelected was Victor S.
Bryant of Durham. Bryant, as
chairman of the Trustee Visiting
Committee and member of the Ex
ecutive Committee, has been very
active in University affairs and was
one of the leading proponents for
Saturday classes.
Another Trustee from Durham,
also on the Executive Committee,
was passed over. John Sprunt Hill
was among 13 who didn't get their
terms renewed. '
There are 100 Trustees with an
additional ex officio membership
of the state schools superintendent,
the governor and former governors.
At least 10 of the 100 must be
women.
The terms of 25 expire on April 1
of each odd-numbered year and 25
new members are elected to serve
for eight years.
The Executive Committee is com
posed of 12 Trustees elected by and
from the general board's member
ship. The Executive Committee has
full power to act for' the board ex
cept for power to alter or revoke
any order made by the board.
The 28 nominations included six
members of the present legislature
three senators and three repre
senatives. Sen. Edwin Pate of Scot
land was tapped for a new term.

Photo Course
Ends With Talk
By Va. 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."

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. ,

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.
