Post.
Some 2,200 students in sec
tion 18 at mid-field participate
in the execution of the stunts,
and they will perform at the'
Duke game in Durham this year
over a nationally-televised cir
cuit, according to Snyder Pate,
this year's president.
SEVEN MINUTES
At the Oklahoma game the
Card Board will have seven min
utes, the rest of the half-time
going to the band, with which
the group plans close cooper
ation this year. Some seven
stunts are being planned, for
past experience shows that each
trick takes 30 seconds to a min
ute, and about two minutes will
be needed to explain to new stu
dents how the operation ticks.
Among the stunts may be a
three-movement picture of an
oil derrick spouting forth the
words "Oklahoma, howdy," and
a play on words like "we'll get
you Sooner or later."
Those wishing to participate
in the festivities may get their
tickets to the card section at
the gate by showing their athle
tic passbook in the conventional
manner. Coeds are, of course,
welcomed, said the group. The
only requirements are that stu
dents remain in their seats dur
ing the first seven minutes of
the half and, of course, refrain
from throwing cards into the air
like confetti should Carolina be
come inspired in the final pair
of half-time minutes, Such activ
ty would ruin a performance
and is, naturally, a violation of
the Campus Code, said Presi
dent Pate.
The cards are passed out by
the usher staff, one of the three
divisions of the Card Board,

PEP RALLY
Tar Heel spirit was at a high
peak last night and cheers rang
from one end of the campus to
the other as Carolina held its
first pep rally, a "Beat Okla

Coach George Barclay and the
whole Carolina football team
were on hand to help the cheer
leaders, band and hundreds of-
students show "more spirit than
has been seen on the Carolina
campus in recent years."
Coach Barclay, Tar Heel Cap
tain Roland Perdue and alter
nate Captain Will Frye spoke at
the "Beat Oklahoma" rally,
which began with a parade led
by the University band, and
ended at Memorial Hall.
President's
Report Now
On The Press
The annual President's Report
is now on the press, and should be
released sometime in October, ac
cording to an official.
The report is prepared by Presi
dent Gordon Gray, wiih the as
sistance of Dr. George L. Simp
son Jr. It consists of reports on
administrative changes, the busi
ness officer's and treasurer's re
port, budget requests, the faculty,
faculty government, the faculty
manual, faculty financial security,
University size and admissions
policy, student life and instruction,
student fees, class size and teach
ing loads, the division of health
affairs, institutional grants, the
University in Chapel Hill, Wo
men's College, North Carolina
State College, sponsored research,
Negro students, athletics and edu
cational television.
Last year's report appeared to
be favorable, according to the
president. Gray said, "In conclu
sion, it is the judgment of the
President that our institutions
have, by and large, continued to
make progress during the year.
We face the large problems of
the future with dedication and
hope."
about two minutes before the
half and are collected as soon
as the stunts are finished. 'Each
participant has four cards: one,
Carolina Blue on one side and;
white on the other, one, red and
green, one, purple and black,
and one, orange and yellow. f
Under each seat is a card on
which is the number of the seat
and instructions for the card to
be displayed in each stunt. The
cards are flashed, held about
nose-high, when the leader calls
for them. They are held up until
the leader, Buddy Clark at this
game, says to drop them.
Stunts vary from pictures, in
which everyone flashes his card
simultaneously, to a more com
plicated writing out of, say,
"UNC" in script. Thus close co
operation between the students
and Clark will be necessary,
said Pate.
Big moment for the card sec
tion will be at Duke. The game
is to be televised nationally by.
NBC-TV, and the cameras willt
be on the Duke side so that they
may focus on the Carolina cards
at the half. f
The Card Board held its first j
meeting this week, and will hold
Monday meetings during the
football season at 7:30 in one of J
the Roland Parker rooms of
Graham Memorial. 1
The organization has three
subdivisions. The art staff plans
the stunts on graph paper, with ',
each square representing a seat, j
It then transcribes onto 22 x 28
inch cardboard the stunt in 1
color.
These sheets are used as
guide and are shown to the card
section before they perform so
that they may have some idea of
what they are doing. The artists
are headed by Miss Connie Mc
Mahon. Taking her place during
a current illness is Craig Horse
man.
IMPORTANT STAFF
The all-important usher staff
then takes over at the game.
Headed by Buddy Clark, they
distribute, collect and keep
straight the cards, which num
ber some 216 to the row, four for
each person. Each usher is com
pletely responsible for one or
two rows.
The Card Board is sponsored
by the UNC Athletic Dept.
There are two rewards which an
earnest worker may win, ac
cording to President Pate. The
new member may win a white
sweater with the Card Board
monogram on the pocket, and
the more experienced members
are eligible for a gold key. The
requirements for these rewards
are being revised, and a new
constitution is soon to be drawn
up. 'Staffers are now planning an
annual banquet for the spring.
Anyone desiring to work with
the Card Board, whether he or
she would prefer to concoct
stunts or usher at the games
from a 45 yard-line seat, may go
to the Card Board office in the
basement of Smith Dormitory
between 2 and 4:40 p.m. Mon
day through Friday, said Pate.

Sooners have rack
ed up a string of 19 consecutive
wins over the past two seasons.
In 1953 Oklahoma won their last
nine games after dropping the
opener; then last season Wilkhv

opponents. Carolina was less for
tunate last reason with "a 4-5-1
record in Barclay's second season.
Carolina pins much of its hopes
in the opener today on the per
formances of quite a few sopho
more stars. Three sophs are cer
tain starters, with one more prob
ably in the opening lineup. Many
more sophomores are being count
ed on for invaluable reserve duty.
Buddy Sasser, a hustling 158
pounds of explosive dynamite, has
inherited the annual worry-spot of
the Tar Heels, the quarterback
post. Sasser has stepped up from
last year's dynamic freshman
squad and has taken over the first
string reins with authority. Coach
Barclay has repeatedly praised
Sasser during the spring, show
ing complete confidence in the
youngster from South Carolina.
Sasser is particularly adept at
the option play; the play that
makes the split-T formation work.
In the past few years the Tar Heels
have not had a quarterback who
could run that play with any de
gree of success.
Behind Sasser are two more
sophs on whom Barclay expects to

Autumn Slipped In Yesterday,
But Don't Grab Your Topcoat
Autumn slipped quietly across the campus at 2:42 yesterday
afternoon.
But don't take your topcoat out of mothballs yet.
Amid falling leaves and the preparations for today's football
game, the thermometer read a cool 75 degrees yesterday at 3:30 p.m.
But the humidity was a high 84 percent. The combination made for
a very hot and gummy afternoon.
According to the Weather Bureau, today promises to be even
hotter. The temperature will approach very close to 90 degrees. The
skies will be cloudy and could produce some rain in midafternoon,
weathermen said.
