Eight undergraduate women were tapped into Carolina's
highest honorary organization for women, the Order of the
Valkyries, in a secret pre-dawn ceremony this morning.
Recognized were Miss Tina Baensch, Washington, D. C;
Miss Helen Stewart McCallum, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Miss
Barbara Jane Bell, Statesville; Miss Judith Ellen Buxton,
Princeton, West Va.; Miss Mary Hunter Kennedy, Charlotte;
Miss F. L. Lacy, Hopkinsville, Ky.; Miss Sharon Lee Sulli
van, Chapel Hill; and Miss Andrea Lucille Gorcica, Walling- .
ton, N. J.
The Valkyries began their candlelight march at 2:15 a.m.
in their customary black robes and hoods. As the march pro
ceeded through the women's residence halls, the sound of
the golden gong called forth those women who were recog
nized for the Valkyrie ideals of character, scholarship, leader
ship, and service.
Following the secret ceremonies, a special breakfast was
served at 6:30 a.m. in honor of the new members. Former
members of the Order were also present for this conclusion
of the ceremonies.
The Order of the Valkyries was begun on the Carolina
campus in 1942 so that outstanding women students might be
given special recognition for their services. The name of the
organization is taken from an ancient Norwegian legend
centered around the warrior god Odin, who represents Thought
and Memory and who was mankind's benefactor.
Odin had nine select maiden attendants, the Valkyries,
who were daughters of the gods and yet were mortals as
well. These attendant maidens waited on the tables in Asgard,
but their chief task was to go to the battlefield and decide at
Odin's bidding who should win and who should die, and then
to carry the brave dead to Valhalla, the hall of fame. It was
' considered a great honor to belong to this chosen group be
cause they shared the glorious companionship of departed
t heroes. ;
The purpose of the Order as stated in the Valkyrie creed
is: "As a Valkyrie I will strive to accomplish' gladly and
quietly the tasks which lie before us, to be unaffected by suc
cess and undaunted by failure, to have an active interest in
the welfare of my fellow students; to act always with a spirit
of helpfulness and to try to inspire co-operation in others;
to be sincere and considerate on all occasions, to work toward
a tolerant and sympathetic understanding of others, and yet
to stand staunchly by my own convictions; to be above petti
ness in all my dealings and to direct my thoughts and actions
persistently toward the highest purposes; as a Valkyrie I will
strive constantly toward those ideals of character, scholar
ship, leadership, and service for which our organization
stands:
The citation read to the tappees were as follows:
MISS BELL . . . "One who has shown through her' quiet
ways a deep concern for her fellow students. With an unpre
tentious manner she has manifested her leadership abilities
not only on the campus but also in a national organization.
Her excellence in scholarship has been recognized, and she

SE United Press International
Sen. John F. Kennedy re
ceived another secret Central
Intelligence Agency CIA
briefing Wednesday as he ac
cused the GOP administration
of trying to gain votes by a
last-minute release of funds
for the B70 super bomber
program.
Kennedy, working hard for
the 32 electoral votes of Vice
President Richard M. Nixon's
home state, California, hit
the administration on the de
fense spending issue ' in a
statement released at Los An
geles. He said a "transparent po
litical maneuver lies behind
the administration's decision
to release an additional $155
million for development of
the B70." .
He charged that "the ob
jective is not to increase na
tional defense; it is to in
crease Republican votes."
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon campaigning in New
York in a drive for the great
est concentration of votes in
the land, called his Demo
cratic opponent a "Pied Piper
traveling the land" with "a
promise on everything for
everybody," and said that
Kennedy is too small a man
for the big job in the White
House. Keeping up his stream
of charges against Kennedy,
Nixon also called him "the
greatest economic ignoramus"
the country has ever seen.
The Kennedy campaign,
Nixon said, "has run out of
gas and is going downhill,"
while the Republican drive
for the White House is "real
ly rolling all over the coun
try." Nixon was accompanied on
his New York tour by Presi
dent Eisenhower,

Students Express Thanks
To Alumnus For Gifts
By Edward Neal Riner
Today is John Motley Morehead Day at UNC.
This is the day set aside by student legislature to
recognize one of the University's greatest benefactors,
John Motley Morehead of Rye, N. Y.
And as Morehead celebrates his 90th birthday at his
home, called Blandwood, in Rye, the campus is celebrat
ing with him. The bells in the 1
Morehead-Patterson bell tower
will be played six times today
to remind the campus of More-
head and his contributions to
the University.
The Bell Tower itself is one
of the gifts from the North
Carolina born chemist and in
dustrialist.
The bells will.be played also
for the Morehead Scholars and
Morehead's foundation which
makes the $5000 scholarships
possible to men students. Last
year there were 134 Morehead
Scholars on campus, and 49 re
ceived scholarships last spring.
Patterned after the Rhodes
Scholarships and awarded with
out regard to financial situa
tions, Morehead has brought
many outstanding students to
UNC.
But whereas the scholarships
are on an individual basis, the
Morehead Planetarium is for
all the University and the state.
Over a million persons have
seen shows at Morehead one of
the few planetaria in the world..
Last year Morehead gave an
additional $25,000 to the Uni
versity, to bring the Zeiss Plane
tarium (the actual projector in
the planetarium building) up to
date. Because the Morehead
Planetarium is topnotch, it was
selected to aid in training the
Mercury astronauts for their trip
into outer space. They studied
here for a few days last spring.
However, the planetarium
building is more than an audi
torium for shows of the celes
tial bodies of the universe. It ii

The Tin Can huddled' in the
stillness of the cool early morn
ing and silently watched an
angry furnace creep across its
tired frame.
Sawdust, wood shavings and a
36-year-old floor quietly suc
cumbed to the torturous heat
and toppled into the yawning
flames.
Battle-worn firemen poured
thousands of gallons of water
on the building and five and one
half hours later the elusive fu'e
died in its own gutted grave. .
According to Chapel Hill Fire '
Chief J. S. Boone, damage to
the old gym was contained to
the western end where an area
of about 60 square meet of
flooring was completely demol
ished early Wednesday morning
No one was injured.
Fire destroyed a number
archery targets, the canvas net
ting and frame of the baseball
cage, eight - rubber strips of
: matting and several wrestling
mats. All of the heavy flooring
used for weight lifting was
termed a total loss.
The fire alarm was turned in
shortly after 1:30 a.m. by Lt.
Jack Merritt of the Chapel Hill
Police Department. Firemen
were hampered by billowing
smoke for over an hour.
The fire itself burned under
neath the flooring and firemen
were unable to reach the flames
for some time. A power shovel
or "ditchdigger" arrived about
4:30 a.m. and ripped out the
boards, enabling water to reach
the major blazes.
Cause of the fire is as yet
undetermined. Chief Boone
pointed out, however, that the
flames probably began by spon
taneous combustion in the saw
dust pile used for high jumping.
Athletic Director O. K. Corn
well stated that repair work on
the "Can" would begin within
several days by Muirhead Con
struction . Company. There was
no official estimate of damage.
