ii "Festival of Arts
Initiates 1954 Plans,
Appoints Chairman
"Festival of the Arts" will re-place
"Arts Forum" as the name of
the college's annual fine arts pro-grams.
The name was changed by
the Joint faculty-student committee
in a meeting early this week.
Terry Schukraft is the newly-ap-pointed
student chairman. It was
announced. Dean Kathcrine Tay-lor
Is chairman of the joint com-mittee.
This year Festival of the Arts
will be spread out over two and
a half months, from February 12 to
April 24, and not concentrated
within a few days as it has been
each year until now.
Two students a senior and a
junior, from each of the arts were
chosen to work on the Festival.
They are: writing, Barbara Mc-
Lellan and Vlnal Overin: art. Linda
Carroll and Ellen Kjosnes; music,
Julia Deskins and Carolyn Hollls;
Dance. Lou Wall and Helen Ket-ner.
Drama representatives have
not yet been chosen Linda Carroll
and Ellen Kjosnes will design the
Festival program.
Faculty members working on the
Festival are Elliott Welsgarber.

Junior Class Will
Ask Legislature For
Aid For Commercials
Legislature will hear next Wed-nesday
night a proposal from Lau-
■ a Moore. Junior Class representa-tive,
that the secretary of the
Junior Class serve as president of
the Commercial Class until it
chooses its own officers. If passed,
this would establish a relationship
between the Commercial and
Junior classes similar to that now
existing between the Freshman and
Junior classes.
Deanie Chatham, Junior vice-president,
who brought the idea be-fore
her class at Its meeting Wed-nesday
night, said in support of it,
"We are sister class to the Com-mercials,
and all wc do is stand for
Ihelr class song Right now the
Commercial department organizes
their class If we could help them
do that, it would help to bring
about a closer relationship between
the classes."
It was felt that the secretary of
the Junior class would have time
lo do this, and could learn her job
as the Junior vice-president learns
hers in the spring.
0J Council Sets Up
student Liaison For
Board of Trustees
Three members of he Consoli-dated
University Student Council
will form a liaison committee to
the Unlversly Board of Trusees,
as a result of last Sunday's CUSC
meeting at State College.
The council passed without dis-sent
a substltue motion introduced
by Carolina's student government
president Bob Gorham. setting up
a student committee to attend each
regular meeting of the full board
of trustees. An original Woman's
College motion had called for the
appointment of each of the three
college newspaper editors a mem-bers
of such a committee. The en-actment
stipulates, that one mem-ber
shall be elected from each del-egation
by that delegation,. and
shall not necessarily be the camp-us
editor.
Purpose of Committee
The purpose of the committee,
according to the measure passed,
is to provide closer contact be-tween
the CUSC and the Consoli-dated
University trustees, and to
place before the Board of trustees
a ready source opinion. "The com-mittee
is set up as a convenience
to the Board and CUSC." the reso-lution
states.
The council also passed a meas-ure
providing that the executive
committee of CUSC meet with
President Gordon Gray after each
full CUSC meeting. The resolution
also provided for informal recep-tions
for council members and ad-ministrative
officials, as steps for
"better understanding and closer
cooperation between the student
bodies of the Ihree branches and
the consolidate administration."
Book Stare Prices
Book store prices came in for
their share of attention Sunday,
too. when the council passed un-animously
a resolution 1 , stating
that the prices of books and sup-plies
on the three campuses are too
high and 2 authorizing the execu-tive
committee to confer with the
consolidated administration and
book store officials to atempt to al-leviate
the situation.
CUSC will investigate the pos-sibility
of placing one student rep-resentative
from each school on
the Board of Directors of the UNC
television station now being
planned —the resolution which
rounded out one of the busiest
CUSC sessions in recent years.
The full Woman's College dele-gation
of 11 members was present
at the meeting.
