The sound of the streetsinger and the Salvation Army speaker is not to be scorned. . . ." "A Coney Island of the Mind, Ferlinghetti's best-known book of poems, was published in 1958. His first novel, "Her," appeared this year from New Directions and a new collection of poetry, "Love and Death," is scheduled for publication in 1961.

You might be observing a million dollars in the making! For months now, a process of taking up bricks and putting down bricks on the numerous walks on the campus has been going on. The general procedure mornings are take-up; after noons are put-down. The brick doesn't even change.! If your insatiable curiosity gets the best of you, collar one of the maintenance men. You're ikely to hear a story similar to this one: "It's all because of the ants," one of them proclaimed. "They tunnel through the sand under neath the bricks. A little rain or heavy traffic and . . . plop!" "That's when they call for us," he continued. "You know," he said as he lit up a thinking Iman's cigarette, "if I could just round up a .regiment of those! little -fllnws T rriiilrJ malcfi a I million bucks." Asked how this ant army would put him to hob-nobbin' with Bernard Baruch, he blew a couple of pretty impressive smoke-rings and explained. "I'd have to take time to train em, but it can be done. Saw once where a fellow in Barn- um s circus naa trained some fleas" he said. "Overhead would be almost nothin'. Just a few picnic leftovers would handle the food problem." He then launched into the money-making climax. "I'd put 'em through a couple of column and flanking move ments and then have 'em charge that hill . . . sidewalk," he said, correcting himself. He went on. "Pretty soon, a pretty girl would come along and catch her high heel on an uplifted brick, (seems he had a course in geology in '41) and they would yell for the main tenance crew," he said. avers j Gazing off into the " distance, I he said, "If they would pay me a penny for every brick I'd fix, I could retire to sunny Florida before long." "Let's see now. Put down five hundred bricks a day . . . that's $27.50 per week. In a year I'd have .-, . only $1,230.00?" "Humrn," he figured, scratch ing in the sand with a stick, reckon I'll just have to charge two cents a brick.

TV audiences World News in Brief THEY REPRESENT SIX POLITICAL PARTIES t Brazilian Congressmen Confused By Precincts The composition of adminis trators in the United States local precincts was a subject of con fusion for visiting Brazilian con gressmen here at Carolina. Six members of the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, each rep resenting a different political party, visited the UNC Insti tute of Government and heard Henry W. Lewis, assistant direc tor of the Institute explain the origin of the Institute and its relation to local, state, and na tional government. The delegates are particu larly interested in U. S. presi dential campaigns, party organi zation and national and local elections, and found the com position of voting precincts in certain localities to be some thing of a paradox. The rule states that of the five members Stale Board of Elections, ap pointed by the governor of the state, no more than three of its members belonging to the same party. On the county level, three members are appointed to the county board of elections with no more than two of the same party, and of the three admin istrators of the local voting prer cincts, no more than two may be of the same party. The delegates found the sys tem confusing, for they had been in Santa Barbara, Calif., where the local precincts were composed of all Republicans, and here in North Carolina, they learn that there are areas where the local precincts are composed of three Democrats. They were unaware that a particular pre cinct may have all its members of one party. Discussion on the transfer committee, which is responsible for easing the present adminis tration out of office and estab lishing the new administration, raised the question of whether this is a voluntary group and whether it is an expression of tradition.

CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) Recovery of two data capsules from space in less than 24 hours was hailed Tuesday as major milestones in U. S. plans to send animals on missile flights in the next few months.

The Atlas success followed by less than 12 hours the Air Force's dramatic air snatch of a gold-plated space capsule over the Pacific Ocean. 17 Segregationists Arrested NEW ORLEANS (UPI) Police Tuesday arrested at least 17 persons, including a deputy sheriff, for trying to rush around barricades protecting one of the two formerly all-white schools that four Negro girls are attending for the first time in New Orleans. .

'Mattress' Set Requires Work BY SETH ECKARD Several days of hard work have already gone into the pre paration of the Memorial Hall stage for tonight's performance of "Once Urjon a Mattress." In an interview, Lynn Gault, technical director of the De partment of Dramatic Art, ex plained, "this extra work is due o the fact that this company is much heavier than the usual touring company. The reason being, it is an exact replica of the Broadway company. Motit companies are redesigned and simplified before they take to the road, whereas this one was not." Gault continued, "Fifteen new ines, nearly one mile of rope, have been added to those al ready on the stage to accommo date the . show's 22 scenery drops. Numerous pulleys or sheaves have been mounted to eed the rope through." II2 pointed to the fact that there should never be a problem of not enough lines in Memorial lall. He stated, "The rope was put in, but the stage was cleared of all its curtains because this company is bringing everything they need with them. To move all of the show's equipment that is coming in today will require local crew of 20. To accommo ate the show's cast of 55, all ' i 1 . i - i -i , , avanaoie space oacK stage nos been cleaned and shaped into dressing rooms." The rather tired technical di rector sighed and ended with "It's a big production." Chest Interviews This Afternoon Campus Chesi interviews continue today from 1 to 4:30.
