750 couple
for Kay Ky
When Kay Kyser anil his or
chestra play the Senior Cakewalk
in Hoch auditorium May 16, only
750 couples none of whom will be
pass holders can dance.
This limit on ticket sales was set
today by Don Wood, b'39, varsity
dance manager, who said the rule
will be enforced to prevent an
overcrowded dance floor. The duc
ats are being sold exclusively to
university students at the business
office and at the main desk in the
lounge of the Memorial Union
building. Next Friday they will
go on sale to persons outside the
university.
By preventing outsiders from
buying tickets before May 5. Wood
said, the senior class hopes to keep
the dance more of a "university
affair."
Although the limit will be placed
on tickets for the dance floor, a
large number of admissions to the
raised section of the main floor
and to the balconies are available
to spectators, he said.
Passes will be eliminated be
cause of a clause in the contract
with Kyser, it was indicated.
Kyser's appearance here, in
many respects, will be almost rev
olutionary. University veteraift
commented when the band was
signed that the Cakewalk will
bring the first "name" band to
have appeared here since Ted
Weems and his orchestra played in
1929.
The dance, furthermore, is being
held in Hoch auditorium mark

physical form has invaded the

p.ffair on a week right, a move
sanctioned by university adminis
tration officials, virtually is with
out precedence, it is said.

Experimental
girls' courses
authorized
An experimental curriculum for
the science school featuring sur
vey courses in the exact sciences
was authorized at the regular
meeting of the university faculty
Monday afternoon on the recom
mendation of the committee on the
education of women. The course
which will be open to only 30 to
40 freshman women is offered for
those who have interests with
technical background but are not
of an intensively scientific nature.
The girls will enroll in the school
of science and will be given their
technical background in a series of
survey courses: during the first
year, survey courses in matnema-
tics and physics; and during the i
second vear survey courses in bi- i
ology and chemistry. These sur
vey courses will try to cover the

Eating co-ops feed, pay dividends
If you found yourself at the bot

of the year, but somehow managed
to stay in school, then you'd be
interested in recently released fi
nancial reports of the numerous
co-operative eating clubs.
The clubs not only feed co-operative
members wholesome food
that sticks to the stomach, but pay
them a patronage dividend at the
end of each quarter. This year
dividends ran as high as $8.50 a

Prom queen lets

A huge crowd was gathered on
the main floor of the Adminis
tration building. Backers thronged
around the closed doors of the
polls. Candidates and their man
agers quietly sat at their cam
paign desgs, awaiting the outcome.
Then a short gasp and a few un
intelligible words from someone in
the front line.
The words spread like wildfire
to the farthest end of the hall,
swelling into a roar.
"Cole has been elected! Joyce
Cole is the 1939 Prom Queen."
And so the From Queen of the
class of 1940 was elected.
We immediately pressed thru
the crowd to interview Miss Cole

who was enthusiastically slapping
everyone within reach on the back.

Paper asks

Within the next week the stu
dents on the campus will have a
chance to express their unbiased
opinions of the professors whom
they have had ever since they
have taken courses in the univer
sity. The Daily Tarheel, in re
sponse to stucient demand for a
professorial classification, will
conduct a survey of the student
body on this subject.
Students will be asked to fill
out a mimeographed sheet on
which will be provided spaces to
grade the professors from A to F
according to his ability as a
teacher and, regardless of teach
ing, general personality. The stu
dent's name will not appear on
the sheet, but there wiil be a
space reserved for the class of the
grader. Grades will be tabulated
according to university custom,
A 5-100; B 90-94 ; etc.

Analysis of a sample of water
taken from Lake La Verne on
Tuesday, April 25, disclosed the
presence of over 1,000 intestinal
bacteria, Escherichia coli, per
cubic centimeter, it was revealed
last night by Dr. Max Levine, pro
fessor in charge of bacteriology.
The United States public health
service standard for drinking
water, according to Levine, stipu
lates that there shall not be pres
ent more than 1 intestinal organ
ism per 100 cubic centimeters.
Dr. Levine's announcement fol
lows a statement by Prof. W. E.
Galligan, of the civil engineering
department, that the discharge
from 20 septic tanks is dra ned
into the lake.
Investigation of the condition of
the water was prompted by the
arrival of the "throw the seniors
into the pond" season, and the
resulting injuries and infections.
Basing his statement upon the
fact that a person thrown into
the lake is almost certain to
swallow some of the water, Dr.
Levine continued:
"It has been the experience of
water works engineers that if
water contains about 5,000 intes
tinal bacteria per cubic centi
meter it is not jos.sible to uni
formly produce a satisfactory
drinking water, that is, one which
will meet the government stan
dard, with the best present known
methods of water purification.
The water in Lak La Verne on the
basis of the analysis of this sam

Spring fever seems to be catch
ing. Not only does it cause stu
dents to forget clasjies and piggers
io iorgei aaies out also class offi
cers lo forget about newnoaoer
announcements of elections and
nominations. For Stan Staiger,
sophomore class prexy. made the
same mistake as did the frosh
class president. Jack Daniels, in
not giving notice of the nominat
ing convention via the Emerald.
The class constitution, which U
apparently on the clasr presidents'
"be sure not to read" list, clearly
states that the first notice should
appear in the Kmerald one week
before the date cf the convention,
no such notice appeared in last
Thursday's Emerald. The first
mention of the proposed conven
tion was made by Staiger In Tues
day's paper.
But according f? members cf
the opposition, his neglect may not
have been accidental. Considering
the possibility that the bloc op
posing the Jim Pickett for presi
dent contingent has not as yet
brought forth someone to run
against him, Stsiger's boys are
uppoiedly planning not only to
change the constitution in regards
to newspaper announcements but
also to change it to read that both
nominations and elections can b
held the sanvs evening. This rnovs
would leave their opponents no
opportunity to talk up their can
