great gynecologist who was one of
the University's most distinguished
alumni.

Editor Cohen Expects
All Students To Get
Literary Magazine
An intensive campaign to secure
subscriptions to The Carolinian,
student literary magazine, -will be
launched immediately, Hennig Co
hen, editor-in-chief, announced to
day.
Cohen said all students will be
asked to subscribe. Circular let
ters will be sent to faculty members
and alumni urging them to support)
the publication.
The Carolinian, one of the
South's oldest collegiate literary
magazines, was revived year before
last after a lapse of several years.
Since that time it has increased in
size and variety of contents.
Cohen said that the policy of in
cluding contributions by distin
guished authors and artists in addi
tion to students, inaugurated last
year under Editor Dan Millsaps,
will be continued. He emphasized
the fact, however, that the mag
azine will remnain primarily a stu
dent publication and that first con
sideration always will be given to
contributions from students.
"We hope to make The Caro
linian worthy of the support of all
Carolina men and women," Cohen
said. "In order to do this, we
strongly urge all students who
write to submit short stories, arti
cles of all types, essays, poems,
