Spring
If you started off on a picnic
Friday, you got fooled yesterday.
That warm, balmy day that
greeted students Friday morning
was a break in a series of low
pressure areas thattring rains and
cold weather to North Carolina
this time of year, according to the
U. S. Weather Bureau.
Those low pressure areas have
been forming in the western Gulf
states and moving east through the
southeastern states, said weather
men yesterday. They have resulted
in rain somewhere in North Caro
lina every day this month, with the
exception of Feb. 8.
The present low pressure area,
weather observers said, .will move
on. toward the northeast today
but it'll leave its mark in- colder
weather.
Observers predicted partly
cloudy skies and colder today, and
reminded picnic-minded students
that there are lots of low pressure
areas between now and spring.

Seig
Is Word
For Coeds
By PEG HUMPHREY
Subtlety flavored with frivol
ity and sprinkled well with
dashing individual imagination
is the 1956 recipe agreed upon
by New York fashion pace-setters.
The streamlined 1956 look is
(described by them as soignee, a
term which is a derivative of
the French verb soigner, mean
ing to take care of or to be
attentive or painstaking. A soig
nee individual is quietly and
trimly correct, yet her cos?
tumes sparkle with gala touches,
such as brilliant pins surpris
ingly placed, courageous color
combinations and eyebrow rais
ing hats. The polished approach,
plus a bit of dazzle, results in
a dignified but interesting sort
of unity.
A trim, slender silhouette
reigns by day; however con
trolled fullness emerges in af
ter 'dark ensembles. Cropped
tops are 1956 headliners. Jacket
lengths range from just below
the arm pit to the hipbone.
Pencil-slim spring sheaths boast
either the shorter companion,
jacket or full-length coat.
Close-cut straightness is ob
vious in coats. If buttoned, they
are meant " to stay buttoned.
Chesterfield collars appear pop
ular. Despite the simplicity in
style, spring coats are dramatic
in their utter trimness. The
casual but neat silhouette
means good taste.
The subtlety, plus attitude,
expresses itself emphatically in
orientally-flavored prints. Rich
colors compliment and blend in
dashing silk shlrtmaker dresses.
Spicy reds, turquoise, citrus
hues and exciting blue varieties
run rampant in new spring
finery.
Reading
Program
Underway
A course "designed to improve
reading and study habits, regard
less of how a student's ihatfts
were before, will get underway
here this week.
Director Paul Mrvine of the
University Testing Service's spe
cial reading program said the
course will be open to all UNC
students, j.
The course will carry no credits
and will meet two or three hours
a week, he said.
Students interested in the pro
gram may apply tomorrow or
Tuesday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. in 08 Peabody. Irvine said
applicants will be enrolled "on
a voluntary basis."
Classes, he said, will be small
and individual instruction will be
given "as needed."

Enrollment in the University and
all other colleges in the state is
3,844 greater this year than a year

than last year, and 20.8 percent
greater than four years ago, ac
cording to the State Dept'of Pub

This is increased to 49,800 if cer

Enrollment in senior colleges in

Oppose Recall Move
Members of the YMCA Cabinet
were joined by editors-in-chief of
three campus publications yester
day in opposing recall of the edi
tors of The Daily Tar Heel.
Editors Louis Kraar and Ed
Yoder of the student newspaper
will face candidate Lewis Brum

The Y. Cabinet as a whole ex
pressed its concern over the re
call. Editors Bill Ragsdale of Tar
nation, Jack Markham of the Yack

the Carolina Quarterly said recall
would mean "a major disaster to
student life on this campus."
The Y Cabinet's statement said:
"We feel compelled to express

"We feel the editors are being
attacked chiefly for their editorial

Once they were banned in
Boston. But now they're dis
played irf show cases here.
Fifty books that some censors
have considered "not fitten to
read" are being exhibited at the
University Library.
Students and visitors at the
Library in the past few days
have been surprised to find
some of their favorite reading
included in a display of "Ban
ned Books."
The display was prepared
under the direction of I. T.
Littleton, assistant to the li

on display for another month.

the 1954-55 report.
In the same report, Dr. Gray
wrote that the University is faced
with a period of faculty expan
sion to meet enrollments, and, un
evenly, of replacing a relatively
large number of faculty members
approaching retirement.
"It is absolutely essential that
imagination, hard work and plan
ning be brought to bear immedi
ately on the discovery and recruit
ment of younger men and women.
Chancellors, .and . ranking, deans
should take close interest in this (
process, and should not recom-j

they do not have enthusiasm,"

Alice's Adventures in Wonder

In the 1953-54 repoit, former
President Gray said the three in
stitutions comprising the Universi
ty, individually and collectively,
are "obviously faced with increases
in enrollment sufficient to change
tie structure, operating procedures
and even the basic nature and
function of each."
But, said Dr. Gray, the admiss
ions policies should be consider
ed first. He gave two alternatives
to the problem in the report: (1)
Continue to hold the doors open
and take in all comers, or (2)
Raise the admissions standards
significantly, so as to hold en
rollments at a relatively stable fig
ure. erasers
had Communist-front affilia
tions. Among the other banned
are the Bible, Voltaire's Can
dide, John Steinbeck's The
Grapes of Wrath, James Jones'
Fiom Here to Eternity, ,.Iames
Joyce's Ulysses, and William
Faulkner's Soldiers' Pay and
Sanctuary.
"Most of the books are bnn.
ned in some regions or cities
because of politics, morality, or
religion," Littleton said in com
menting on the display. "The
banning of the books is done
either by religious, govern
mental or citizens' groups," ho
added.
QUESTION
"There arc certain Jrgal
grounds that keep obscene
books from being sent through
the mail, but then there is al
ways the question of where art
ends and obscenity begins," hf
continued. "What one age con
demns as being obscene may
become a classic of a future
age."
The reason for the banned
books display is "to point out
the extremes which some groups
are using to curb the riht to
read," Littleton said.
He pointed out that librarians
all over the nation have been
instrumental in combatting the
banning of books by gioups
which want to limit the right
of people to read.
