CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1962 liiliii8 CAROLINA BEAUTY MARY ANN DIAB en joys the sun and scenery in the arboretum and thinks of the good times that can be had there. Mary Ann is a senior English major who enjoys 400 Here For Boys The largest session of Boys' State' in the history of North Carolina opened here Sunday at the Institute of Government. The 405 rising high school seniors, sponsored by their local Ameri can Legion posts and chosen as outstanding students will be meeting here until Saturday. Begun in 1939 by Mr. Albert Coates at the request of the American Legion, Boys' State is still using the same basic pro cedure, slightly modified through the years.

(Continued on Tage 2) - iir i- mi niirihthaiii u Realizing that "the average stu dent was able to track Caesar and Cicero around Rome, but couldn't find his way around the county courthouse," Mr. Coates was determined to bridge the gap between the citizen of North Carolina and his state and local government. Division Into Parties As they arrived last Sunday af ternoon, the boys were divided into ficticious cities and counties and arbitrarily assigned to fic ticious political parties. "We just put one boy into the Federalist party and the next into the Nationalist," stated Ed Allman, this year's director. The four dormitories housing the boys, Aycock, Ruffin, Manly and Grimes, made the physical structure for the imaginary coun ties. Each floor then became a citv whose officials were elected early in the week. The dozen cities then held party conventions to nominate county officials. After rousing campaigns in all four dormitories, county elections will take place tonight. Lectures Each Morning In addition to the practical ex perience in the inner workings of politics, the boys, many of whom have never had a course in government, have heard lectures this week to supplement their knowledge. Topics ranged from "Public Welfare Responsibilities of City, County, State and Federal Government" to "UNC Basket ball." By Monday afternoon many of the boys were wondering whether they could stand the pace all week. As the political issues grew hotter with the weather, the boys became more enthusiastic. They are not always bright-eyed at 7:15 a.m. assembly, but they are there, and activities continue un til lights out at 10:15 p.m. swimming, riding and sunshine. She is a member of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority and has appeared in the Daily Tar Heel as Beauty of the Week. 9 State Elections And Legislation The big event is yet to come, however. Saturday is "Govern ment in Action Day," the climax of the week's activities. Tomor row state elections will be held by the boys, and Saturday the Legislature will meet in Knapp Auditorium. A join session of the Boys' State Senate and House will be address ed by their Governor, the high est officer and an honor to which each boy aspires. Then the Gen eral Assembly is to convene, and legislation will be passed on state and local levels with national re solutions also passed. - Current issues will probably be .very seriously debated if past session are any indication of the present one. Last year's Boys' State went on record, after much intellectual debate, as universally not opposed to the proposed 3 sales tax on food, which was later adopted by the North Carolina Legislature. Togetherness Is Issue It is anybody's guess what the major issues will be this year, but the Boys' Staters are expect ed to pass their annual resolu tion that Boys and Girls' state meet in a joint session next year; a resolution which is just as regularly ignored. Girls' State, a similar program for rising high school senior girls, is being held this week at Wo men's College in Greensboro. The sessions are not always held con currently, and not since 1947 when Terry Sanford was director, has there even been an exchange be tween the two groups. That year a picnic for Boys' and Girls' Staters was held. Counselors for Boys' State were chosen from Carolina law stu dents. President Friday and Chancellor Aycock were counsel- ( Continued on Page 6) Summer Officers Picked By A llen Larry McDevitt, a rising junior and presidential assist ant in the regular session, has been appointed Secretary Treasurer of the summer school student body for the first session. McDevitt heads a list of 31 appointees announced yes- terday by summer school student body president Inman Allen. Allen said he was encouraged by the number of students who applied for the positions in interviews held last week. 7 Coats Held By Chapel Hill Cops For Identification Seven coats which are believed to have been stolen recently from the campus or Chapel Hill area aare now being held at the Chap el Hill Police Department and may be claimed upon identifica tion. Police Chief Blake stated that the coats were recovered Satur day when Pittsboro police picked up a suspect near Pittsboro. No charges have been lodged against the man in Chapel Hill yet, the Chief stated, but are pending upon identification of the re covered items. Five of the seven coats are three-quarter length London Fog raincoats. One has already been claimed, he said, by a student who thought he had left his coat in Lenoir Hall or Hill Hall. The othtrs may be iden tified between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. during the week. Chief Blake stated the man had apparently worked in Cha pel Hill in the past, and could have stolen the coats then. A billfold which its owner said contained $300 was either lost or stolen Monday night after 10:45. Frank J. Rinaldi of the first floor Connor dorm stated Tuesday that the billfold was in his possession when he left Gra ham Memorial at that time, and that he believed he had the wal let when he returned to his room.
