Frafs Set : f Stunts Tonight "Stunt night is going to be big and we want everybody to come," said Jack Stevens, co-chairman of Greek Week, yesterday. Activities begin at 8 p.m. in Memorial Hall, said Stevens. "We are expecting a lot of originality and . we want a large Crowd," he added. The winner of th trophy will be announced tonight and the cup will be awarded at the dinner Friday night at Lenoir Hall. A survey of fraternities yester day showed some hard at work on stunts and skits. The theme of the Chi Phi skit is "not having a theme," according to Jack Weil. "'The scene is a meeting to discuss, what we're going to have and ev erything brought up is censored," he explained. The KAs are planning a pan tomine, "So This Is Fraternity Life" and the Dekes are putting on a mystery program. The Sig Eps are satirizing the movie "The Wild One" and the TEPs are doing the same for the Oscar awards for movies. The Zetes were reluctant to give out any information about their skit. After much hemming and hawing, a spokesman for the pledge tfiass said the skit had something to do with a Sunday afternoon on campus. McCurry Wants Cut Changes Ed McCurry, University Party presidential candidate agrees with Dean Spruill that the problem of the cut system is a "mutual one," according to a statement issued yesterday. Spruill said; that "we should.' work together to get a system both human and effective." Mc Curry, in agreeing, according to the statement, expressed his op position to the current setup and made known his desire for a more flexible policy. McCurry also commented on the fact that the Business Ad ministration School requires an overall B average for dean's list. According to the statement, he favors the same procedure in the other branches of the University as a substitute for the prevailing practice of requiring all dean's list students to have grades of B or above. "I think any person with an overall B average has shown his acceptance of academic responsi bility and should be entitled to the privileges granted by being on the dean's list," said McCurry. "It is unfair to unnecessarily tax those who have proven them selves competent students," he added. According t to the statement, McCurry noted that Phi Beta Kappa uses an overall, instead of letter, grade average, in selecting its membership, and that ah ov erall average is used in determ ining the eligibility of students to participate in extra-curricular activities. iHp5 Stasis ytp Blue And White Competition To Continue Through Today The contest being sponsored by the Monogram Club to pick a coed queen to rule over the Blue White football game will continue through today, according to Wil bur Jones, president. Jones said the contest is being extended "because we had planned to have it out in Y-Court, but be cause of the threat of rain we had to have it inside. We feel like it has not reached the attention of enough people." Jones said the contest will be carried on in Y court today if weather permits. He said voting hours will be from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. "We hope the students will turn out and support not only the Blue White football game, but also the Ridgway Coming Back Gen. Matthew Ridgway is coming to the Carolina campus after all, according to Carolina Forum Vice-Chairman Bob Young. The General is scheduled t speak here Monday, March 28. He .will speak in Hill Hall at 8:30, according to Young. General Ridgway's speech was previously slated for Feb. 24, but bad weather kept his airplane from landing. - ! i rr mmm a 4 "a1 "" ,..
