YWCA Needs
Student
Addresses
In order for the Student Di
rectory to include correct student
addresses, all students who have
moved since registration or who
plan to change their address in
the near future are requested to
go by the YWCA office and list
their new addresses. .
Open houses and plenty of
food seem to have been the key
note of this year's orientation
program at least from the
women's point of view.
Beginning with the arrival of
the first girl Sept. 13, the
women's orientation program
swung in operation under the
leadership of Sara Alice Jack
son, orientation committee
chairman. The week-long orien
tation program finally ceases to
night with the semi-formal Co
ed Ball. The Duke Ambassadors
will provide the music irom 9
p.m. to midnight in Woollen
Gym.
From the first open house last
Friday in Lenoir Hall until the
orientation really got underway
Tuesday, the new women's-time
was filled by lectures, tours and
sisterly advice from their orien
tation advisers.
Tuesday brought an open
house by the Chapel Hill Mer
chants Assn. and a picnic spon
sored by the Orientation Com
mittee in the form of a hearty
welcome to the new students.
Lewis Brumfield led off with
a speech, Head Cheerleader Col
lie Collison inaugurated the stu
dents into the Tar Heel spirit
with a few cheers, and Scotty
Hester's combo from the Uni
versity Band provided the mu
sic for over 1,500 students.
Wednesday the orientee's day
was begun with a dorm break
fast from the Independent
Women's Council, and, Wednes
day night the open houses in- all
the dorms provided plenty of
punch and men.
"The University, having determined that these students
are academically ualified, will now proceed to admit them,"
said Chancellor House and Acting President Harris Purks
yesterday concerning three Negro students.
The joint statement was made after notification of re
fusal by the Federal Court in-; ;
Greensboro of a request for a
stay of its judgment that the ap
plications of the Negroes must be
received by the University here.
A formal request was made yes
terday by the attorney general of
North Carolina, William B. Rod
man, that the Federal Court not
put its judgment into effect after
the case had been appealed to the
U. S. Supreme Court. The request
was made after conferences by
Rodman with a committee appoint
ed earlier this week by the Exe
cutive Committee of the Trustees
of the University.
In a statement made yesterday
Rodman said that after he had
presented the request, Judge Do
bie, one of the three, federal court
judges, informed him "that the
court informally concluded on Sat
urday that if a request for a stay
was made it should not be grant
ed." After communicating with
the other members of the court,
according to Rodman's statement,
Judge Dobie called Rodman and
told him that he had signed the
order directing the University to
receive the applications of the Ne
groes; that the Court, after con
sultation, denied our application
for a stay." .
"Our request for a stay having
Keen refused by the Court, the
judgment having already been
signed by two of the judges, and
tfte third having indicated that he
will sign, I.feeHmpelled to advise
j tfie" University officials that they
snould accept tnese Negro stu
dents if educationally qualified
and have done so," continued Rod
man's statement.
"I have advised the committee
from the trustees that the court
has refused our request for a stay
and that the University must now
accept the applications. This, of
course, does not have a bearing
on the appeal. We will prosecute
the appeal as diligently and ef
fectively as we possibly can," he
concluded.
Coed Ball
The 1955 edition of the Coed
Ball, a semi-formal affair, will
be held tonight in Woollen Gym
nasium, between 9 p.m. and
midnight. Everybody on the
campus is invited, with the one
stipulation that all girls at the
dance must be coeds, according
to a spokesman.
There will be no admission
charge to the affair, and the
Duke Ambassadors, termed one
of the leading college orchestras
in the country, will supply the
music. Burt Veazey, chairman of
the Orientation Committee,
which is sponsoring the affair,
said that he expects a crowd of
some 2,000 students at this sec
ond social function of the young
season.

So you think you've got prob
lems? The answer to everyone's prob
lems has been given by one per
son whose business is to make
every co-ed's troubles her own
by lending a sympathetic ear and
some helpful advice.
"I haven't come up against
any problems yet because I've
been busy doing my own job
and have been thinking along
ohter lines," said Miss Isabelle
MacLeod, acting dean of women
of the University, in an inter
view yesterday.
"I think," she continued, "that
we have perfectly excellent
young women on this campus
who are serious in purpose, re
sponsible in their leadership and
are in general, constructively
cooperate in all their projects."
Miss MacLeod said "Coeds can
look like such informal little
girls in Y-Court and then on
watching them enter church on
Sunday morning they are trans
formed into such mature young
ladies."

good music and attending con
certs. "I am enthusiastic about mo
tor trips," she continued, al
though she said she hasn't had
a vacation in quite some time.
"I've always loved my job
here," Miss MacLeod said, "be
