Roger Wagner will conduct the 24-voice chorus in a program which vvilKrange from 16th century airs Waltzes and excerpts from "Porgy and Bess", by Gershwin. The Chorale is today one of the outstanding ehoral groups in the United States. They have pre sented concerts in the Hollywood Bowl, in leading concert halls on the West Coast and Europe, they have appeared on radio and tele vision, supplied music for the sound tracks of a dozen motion pictures, and they have made a series of phonograph records. The Chorale is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. It made its first" public appearance in Los Angeles in 1945. Since this time, the Roger Wagnel" Chorale has been busy with varied activi ties. For three years the choristers were heard weekly by TV-viewers on the "I Married Joan" show. Two years ago, the Chorale was in vited to England to participate in London's .Coronation Festivities. The Chorale was the only American singing group to receive such an invitation. Roger Wagner is selective in his choice of singers. Singers au ditioned by Wagner are subject to rigid vocal tests and written ex aminations in musical theory.

Critz George of the Uni versity Medical School faculty and President of the Patriot of North Carolina, has explained that he did not say the Negro race is inferior to the White. Rather, the White race has shown a greater capacity for cre ating civilization than the Ncsro, according to George. When asked what he thought of Dr. John Gillin's statement that the progress of the White has been due to certain "historical facts," George said, "I think that's a vague statement which means nothing." He added that Gillin's facts can't be brushed 4aside. LACK OF DRIVE George said one reason the Neg-.

I be lieve that they can become an ex isting fact, rather than just words on paper." SOCIAL FACILITIES The platform calls for ".immedi ate improvement of social facilities for men's dorms in order to facili tate a more workable visiting agreement" for dates and parents. The UP would like to see arrange ments made so that dormitory so cial rooms could be used as meet ing places, the platform stated. "Curfew privileges for nursing students consistent with those of other Carolina coeds" and "a def inite attempt toward installing a telephone buzzer for each room in the women's dorms" are other planks in the UP declaration.

The UP supports a plan, which at the pres ent time is almost a reality, that would give unlimited cuts to juni ors and seniors." In 'asking for "absolutely no re strictions' on student cars," the party said it stood for complete cooperation with the Student Traf fic Committee, "Through positive action on the part of student government," the platform said, "a plan can be work ed out that will permit all Caro lina students to keep their cars on' the campus." The party said it would make an "untiring effort to accomplish coordination of quizzes." "Students who have had five tions are wrong have the obliga tion to show that their assumptions are right; that the Negro race has not been proved inferior.

H. Jennings Jr., chairman of the Jaycee sponsored event. The yearly beauty and talent show will be held in Memorial Hall on April 4 as the local elimina tion for the nationwide Miss America Pageant. Initial entrants in the event are Miss Evelyn Ann Matthews of Chapel Hill, Miss Shirley Joy Car penter, coed from Oakboro, and Miss Libby Mc Dowell, coed from Wake Forest. Jennings said that about two dozen entrants are expected in all from local girls and UNC coeds. Under the rules of the nationwide Miss America Pageant, which are being followed locally, he said, a college student is considered a resident of the place where she is enrolled. Thus, as in the past, he said, it is expected that a good field of entrants will be in the Pageant from the University. A 19-year-old brunette from Oakboro, Miss Car penter is a third-year coed at Carolina and a mem ber of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority . . . She has dark hair, is five-feet-six, and a piano major at the University. For two years before coming here she attended the Woman's College in Greens boro. She has been a UNC Homecoming Queen, and was recently named Miss Fashionplate. In high school she was named the Most Athletic, won the Music Award, and was class salutatorian. She is now accompanist to the mixed chorus for the University, Miss McDowell, 21, is studying voice here. She is five-feet-five, a brunette, and was an entrant for national Maid of Cotton. In addition she was selected as a yearbook beauty at Furman Univers ity where she was also in the May Court and was an ROTC sponsor, has been an entrant for the Yackety Yack Beauty Court here, and a Blde-White Queen. At Furman she was a member of the Mu sic Club, the Honorary Literary Society, and on the Dean's List. CONTACT MR. JENNINGS Entrants for Miss Chapel Hill may join the Beauty Pageant by contacting Jennings at Town and Campus, and local clubs and fraternities are encouraged to sponsor entries. Present holder of the title of Miss Chapel Hill, Carolina coed Joan Brown, was second runner-up to Miss North Carolina in the state Beauty Pageant at Wilmington last summer. Her predecessors have been: Miss Dot Hogan (Mrs. William D. Basnight) 1951; Miss Iris Merritt 1952; Miss Anne Jacobs 1953; and Miss Barbara Ann Stone 1954. Three of Chapel Hill's 'six entrants in the state event have placed in the finals. ' The manifesto, recently issued by 101 Congressmen from the southern states, is, according to Gov. Hodges, "a protest, by legal means," to the Supreme Court de cision on segregation. The text of the first letter, writ- ; ten by Eugene Spake of Charlotte, j is as follows: ! "At the University of North Carolina, there is a small group ; of students who have "organized "themselves into the Race Relation-; j Council.
