Barefeet Day Is
Seniors' Treat
For Tomorrow
Senior Week gets underway to
morrow morning when some 900
graduating members of the stu
dent body are expected to go bare
foot to class.
Barefeet Day is a tradition which
has gained much favor with sen
iors in the last few, years. Presi
dent Dan Perry suggested yester
day, as a new twist to Barefoot
Day, that seniors take advantage
of "Senior Walk," a dirt walk in
the Arboretum extending from Ra
leigh Street behind Spencer Dorm,
to the Morehead Planetarium area
and over to Alumni Building. A
monument set up by the Class of
1928 near the entrance of the Ar
bore turn and at the. far end of the
Morehead parking lot, marks the
place where Seniors used to line
up for commencement. At one time,
graduation, now held at Kenan
Stadium, was held in Memorial
Hall.

The idea of Barefeet Day proba
bly stems from an old feeling, pre
valent among many alumni, Uni
versity officers, and students that
"when you get the grit of Chapel
Hill sidewalks in your shoes, and
the gravel in between your toes,
then you've gotten Chapel Hill in
your souls."
Tuesday, seniors and juniors will
participate in a raffle at the Y,
with prizes to be drawn the next

School Art Exhibit shown at Person
Hall here through May 24.
This exhibit, mace up of paint
ings and other pieces of art work
by students in grades one through
six of the North Carolina elemen
tary schools, is sponsored annually
by the Art Department and the
extension division of the Univer
sity of North Carolina and the Art
Department and the Department
of Public Relations of the Wom
an's College in Greensboro. The
North Carolina Federation of Wo
men's Clubs and the North Carolina
Division of the American Associa
tion of University Women coop
erate with these schools in the
selecting of entries,' planning and
routing of the traveling exhibit,
purchase of various entries, and
the awarding of prizes.
The exhibit is composed of draw
ings, paintings, fired clay models,
sculpture, block prints, fabric
prints, puppets and dramatic masks
which are submitted by every ele
mentary school in the state that
wishes to do so. The purpose of
the exhibit is to promote teaching
and production of art in the North
Carolina5 elementary schools by
giving both student and teacher
some recognition for the work be
ing done. The students may submit
art in any form so long as it is orig
inal. No copies are accepted.
Arne W. Randall, a specialist in
fine arts from the Office of Edu
cation in Washington, is acting as
judge tor tne exnioit. m an in
troduction to the showing he said,
"It is evident that the art of the
children in primary grades was
natural and unhampered, quite un
like the pattern work seen in
schools of the past, while the
paintings of the upper grade
children were vigorous and full of
life." .

We are asking through the
president for permission to leave
the Southern Conference," stated
Chancellor H. B. House, one of a
four-man committee representing
North Carolina at the Conference
meeting in Greensboro Thursday
and Friday.
That is our recommendation,"
continued House. "We can't leave
the Conference until the Trustees
approve, and that is certainly more
than a formality."
Newspapers have stated that
Trustee approval of the move was
a formality.

Virginia said his school would
"consider seriously" joining the

ply immediately.
