There was no mention in the te'egram that the UN'C date would not be fulfilled, confirmed Oscar Taylor, State College Union publi city chairman.

Last year showed a record turnout as 40 boy's teams and 40 girls' teams added up to a total of 525 entries. And the murals department is ex pecting an even larger turnout this year. The defending champions in the Carnival are DKE and Spencer. These two teamed up for the crown last year. In most of the events, fraternities, sororities, men's and women's dorms are paired up to provide teams. Trophies galore are presented: team trophies to relay and overall winners, and individual trophies to every winner in every single event. The carnival events are primarily set up for couples. Three Divisions The program is divided into three parts: carnival games, relays and sports tournaments. This year's carnival games show imagination and variety and have been termed "the very best we've ever had" by officials. Candle snuffing will consist of extinguishing candles with water pistlos. The paper plate flip is done by throwing paper plates through a suspended hoop. Dropping coins into a jar which is submerged in a tub of water is called the water fall. The Pole Ring is done by tossing a ring over a pole. Contestants will try to ring a bottle with a hoop on monographs concerning income and employment.

He is a participant in the Urban Studies Program of the Institute for Research in Social Science at the University of North Carolina.. Ashby's research efforts during the year will be directed toward an examination of the characteristics of the particular industries of dom inant importance in North Carolina. 300 Students Needed Before Caravan O.K.'d Unless there is a strong indica tion of interest on the Dart of at least 300 students, the special Ca ravan Friday to the Maryland game may be cancelled. This announcement came Monday from Student Body President Char lie Gray who urged all interested students, fraternities and clubs to contact him in his office in Graham Memorial between 9 and 11 a.m. to day. This is the last chance to re serve train space. Gray emphasized that the Cara van is not for the use of groups on ly, and that individual students are invited to make reservations also. If the 300 reservations needed to acquire a special . train arejjpt forthcoming, extra cars for stu dents will be added to the regular scheduled train which leaves Ra leigh for Washington Friday at 10:05 p.m. The returning Caravan is sched uled to leave Washington at 1 a.m. Sunday. Should the regular train be used students can leave Wash ington at 12:05 a.m. Sunday or catch a later train if they wish. Keynote Carnival a pole in the fish ring bottle.

Toy cars are rolled at targets in the auto race. The ring slide is done by sliding a ring along a string to a specified distance. The ball carry is done by couples standing back to back and seeing how many balls they can carry and put in a box. All of these carnival games are played by couples. There are four relays: The tape pull (eight pieces of tape), the bean bag (sliding bean bags through chairs), the number circle relay (marking out numbers on a chart with a heavy pencil and the ob ject pass (passing objects along a line).

YM-YWCA Faculty Begins 166th Anniversary Cornerstone laying re-enacted Crisp October Air Penetrates Polk Place During Celebration "Hark the Sound" and the crisp October air penetrated Polk Place Mondy morning as UNC celebrated its 166th anniversary. University Day commemorated the laying of the cornerstone of the f:rst building on campus, Old East, on Oct. 12, 1793. Chancellor W. B. Aycock told University officials, trustees, stu dents and alumni that the ceremony honored UNC alumni as well as the founding fathers. He cited the outstanding quality of alumni by naming James Knox Polk, Walter Rufus King, Gen, Ken neth C. Royal and Gov. Luthur Hod ges as examples of this quality. "The University is grateful," for the "love and affection of sons and daughters of alma mater." He stressed the "sense of gratitude" Crownover Elected To SP Advisory Board By SANDRA WHISNANT The Student Party elected Jim Crownover to a seat on the SP advisory board during their meet ing in Gerrard Hall last night. Last Thursday a Student Party caucus recalled Crownover as majority floor leader of Student Legisla ture because of his overlapping responsibilities. The feeling that Crownover had too many other ob ligations to devote sufficient time to the job, and that younger legis lators in the party should be allow ed opportunity to hold key posi tions led to his removal. Robin Briggs was elected to the fresh man vacancy on the advisory board. Preceding the elections, Dean of Student Affairs Fred H. Weaver INFIRMARY In the Infirmary yesterday were: Misses Flossie May Jones, Henry Snow, Tommy Manville, Aly Khan, Norman Vincent Peale, Artie Shaw, Porfirio Ruberoso, Alfred E.

There is a historical display this week in the library on the founding of the school. spoke to the party. 'There has come about a (student govern ment) change in the past two or three years," Weaver said. Review ing the past of tin? first state uni versity, Dean Weaver said it was only natural that such a university should promote democratic self government. The government at first was authoritarian. Then it had to meet such crises as freedom of the student press, problems of descrimination, sportsmanship, and hazing. "Student government has achiev ed things in the past few years, but times have changed," Weaver said. "In the last two or three years the university and the nation have been affected by an upsurge in science." This change sets thp stage for a political party. Weaver said he thinks it un likely that the university will be come a school of Phi Beta Kappas, but that the new trend should be considered rationally. During the business session of the meeting, SP vice-chairman Norman E. Smith gave the advisory report and SP chairman Dewey Sheffield outlined principles of the Student Party. Sheffield announc ed four legislative vacancies on? in Dorm Wromen's I, two in Dorm Women's H, and one vacancy in Town Men's TV.

World War II Vintage Matches Still Light Cigarettes Here By KAY SLAUGHTER "We must win- Buy more war bonds " "V for victory!" Perhaps, these mottos sound a little outdated in 1959, 13 years aft er the end of the World War II. Yet the expressions are commonplace to the typical smoker on campus. Indeed, almost everyone has picked up a pack of matchs to find these patriotic pleas on the covers. At first sight the student might feel that perhaps the United States has plunged into another war. After all he has not been keeping up with the news. On more careful examination of the matchs, however, he realizes that their yellow color is not due to a fad of enhancing the appear ance but instead to the process of aging. Yes, these matches are not much younger than the student him is $1600. drives are included in one drive Under them are five group?, which direct the work of 250 stu: dents who are participating in the drive. Each group has two divi sion heads and five captains. The students were solicited dur ing registration to take part in the fund raising. Division heads include Liz Ho well and Mark Wilson, who have Florence McGowan, Leeda Stock ton, Beverly Baily, Frank McSwain and Pat Browder working for them as captains. Other groups are: Lesley Sevier and Don Miller with captains Ann McCrorie, Helen Solenberger, Lin da Chapman, John Snyder and Pirharri Fnster: Melissa Osbourne land Lewis Rush with captain Toni Brady, Jenny Elder, Graham Walker, Kay Boortz and Bob Gib son. And Mike Childs and Fenny Boone with captains Joan DuBois, Sally Lewis, Nancy Sales. Larry Stacy and Pete Williams; and Mary Bahnse and Tom Lefler directing John Wait, Susan Grewlach, Ging er Kenny and Elaini Livas. FRESIDJEN ENROLLMENT JUMPS Figures just released by the English Department show an un precendenSed enrollment ci 1535 freshmen students, a 15.2 per cent increase over last year's registra tion of 1332. This large increase has necessi tated the addition of six new sec tions for the fall semester. UP Convention Tonight Reset For Oct, 20 The University Party convention scheduled for 7:30 this evening in Gerrard Hall has been postponed until Oct. 20. A major conflict with a general chemistry examination to be given tonight is the caue for postpone ment. The delay will give party offi cials more time to prepare for an efficient and successful conven tion. No time will be lost for cam paigning, though, since the fall election date has been changed from Nov. 10 to Nov. 17. Meetings to elect five delegates from each dormitory, fraternity and sorority house will be this week. These delegates will represent their respective groups at the convention. All UP members will be notified of the meetings. ZOOLOGY SEMINAR Dr. Dennis J. Crisp, visiting Welsh marine biologist conducting research along the North Carolina coast, will be the guest lecturer at Wednesday's Zoology Seminar, 4:45 p m., in Wilson Hall. self. According to H. R. Ritchie, di rector of concessions on campus, the matches were purchased eight years ago from the Army surplus of the government. Then, the University became the possessors of 24.000 cases of thesa antiquated matches. Incidentally, a case contain approximately 50 boxes of 24 books per box. However, many matches had to be destroyed because they proved to be danger ous. The rest of the matches, Mr. Ritchie assured, are okay to use. By the end of this year, most of them will have been circulated, and r.ew matches will be purchased. How many books are left? Approximately 140 to 150 cases re main in the supply. That means stu dents must use 168.000 to 180.000 match books before the supply runs - 1 dry.
