George V. Denny, Jr.
Moderates Town Meet
Mr. George V. Denny, Jr., founder
of the "America's Town Meeting of
the Air," and a Carolina graduate,
arrived in Chapel Hill yesterday for
r. short visit and a lecture in Carroll
Hall. His speech on "Give Your Mind
a Chance" indicated "Some practical
ways to train your mind to give you
the right answers."
He stated that "Until we release
our minds from our self-imposed sla
very (listening largely to congenial
views), and seek to understand prin
ciples of human relations in universal
terms just as the physical scientists
have done, we cannot expect our
minds to give us the right answers
when we try to think about our com
mon problems."
Campus Leader Gets
Government Position
George F. Warren, Jr., long a lead
er in Student Government on this
campus, has accepted a position with
the Federal Government. His primary
job will be to prepare and man the
country's defenses.
He will be working directly with the
Armed Forces and will receive his
assignments from the Pentagon in
our nation's capital.
Warren was noted for his outspoken
views against a certain campus liter
ary organization and for his ceaseless
struggle to better conditions for the
little man.
Warren's last word was for all men
to band together for the common good,
to recognize the common enemy, and to
strive for all things good.
Larry McElroy will continue War
ren's research in Syntheses of Pyri
midopyrimidines and Activity of Pal
lidized Charcoal Catalysts in conjunc
tion with three well known beer manu
facturing concerns and several of the
local purveyors of fermented malt and
hops.
Plans Being Made For
IRC Open House
According to Bob Harrington,
Chairman of the International Rela
tions Club, the I. R. C. is planning
to present an International Open
House Friday, July 29, from seven
to nine o'clock that night.
The first planning meeting for the
Open House was held last Wednesday
afternoon. At that time it was dt
cided by the planning group to as
sign special jobs to individual mem
bers. Jim Mclntyre was assigned re
freshments, Challie Iralu invita
tions, Helen Carapetian talent, Ram
Desikan display, Carolyn Teachey
and Bob Harrington publicity.
All students and townspeople are
invited to attend the Open House
which will feature displays of for
eign lands, a talent show, music, and
refreshments.
The University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill was forced to close for
five years during the Reconstruction
Period, from 1870 to 1875.
In 1859 the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill had the
second largest student body in America.
The Summer School Chorus will
present a concert of choral music in
Hill Hall tonight at 8 p.m. under the
joint sponsorship of the Department
of Music and the Summer Activities
Council.
Gene Strassler, graduate student
from Apollo, Pennsylvania, is di
recting the chorus, composed of both
faculty and students.
Soloists will include Mrs. Martha
Fouse, Chapel Hill secretary and
housewife; Miss Roberta Dixon of
Raleigh, UNC music students and
Everett Hall, UNC professor of .phi
losophy. Mrs. Fouse had leading roles in
campus musical productions during
the past year "The Marriage of
Figaro" and "Show Boat." Miss Dix
on also appeared in "Show Boat," in
addition to serving as president of the
Women's Glee Club.
Mr. Hall has been active in choral
work for many years, singing with
the Stanford University Chapel Choir
and recently with the Chapel Hill
Community Church choir.
The accompanists are Lila Ponder
and Lillian Piebernik.
The major work of the Summer
Chorus concert will be the "Mass in
G Minor" for solo and double chorus,
by the contemporary English com
poser, Ralph Vaughan-Williams.
Director Strassler explained that
the composition, written in 1922, has
had few performances in this country,
"a fact which in no way reflects upon
its musical merit."
The chorus will also present a
polyphonic setting of "Psalm 65" by
the French Huguenot composer,
Claude Goudimel. A small choir will
perform "Five Songs on Old Texts"
by Paul Hindemith, a teacher of com
position and theory at Yale Univer
sity until his recent retirement, and
"one of the most influential of the
modern composers," according to Mr.
Strassler.
Men's Interdormitory
Council Holds Meet
Last Wednesday night the Men's
Interdormitory Council held its second
meeting of the summer. The meeting
presided over by President Bob Har
rington saw several important meas
ures discussed.
The most important of these was
the discussion concerning thefts that
have recently occurred in the men's
dormitories. It was announced that
the thefts were being looked into
by the I. D. C. Investigating Commit
tee. According to Tom Bennett, I. D. C.
Chairman, this matter is an Honor
Council offense which could lead to
a convicted student's expulsion from
the University. Harrington urged
that all dormitory residents keep
their doors locked when they leave
their rooms in order to prevent any
repetition of the thefts.
Also discussed at the meeting wrere
proposed dormitory parties. Several
dorm Presidents said that they hoped
to have parties in the near future
it their dorms' residents were willing
to chip in to help pay for them. Also
plans were made to have an I. D. C.
Watermelon Party in August if funds
could be procured. This event would
be open to all dorm residents and
their dates.
As one of the last orders of busi
ness the lack of fire extinguishers
in the dormitories was discussed. It
was agreed that this was a dangerous
