Kellam By VILMA HUGGINS The tall, distinguished looking young man that has been seen walking across the campus and answers to the name of William P. Kellam is the new librarian at McKissick Memorial Library. Gilford County, North Carolina claims credit of his birthplace. Aft er eleven years of graded and high school, he still liked North Caro lina schools well enough to attend Duke. Later, he went to Emory. His librarian career has been quite an interesting one. For two years at Duke he was with the Student System; three years with he Circulation Department at the University of North Carolina; li brarian at North Carolina State College for five years; and seven 4 years as librarian at the Univer sity of West Virginia. During this time he also taught some Library Science. The Kellams and the climate dis agreed so the Kellams are now $4 back in the South. I say "Kellams" because there are four of them. The son, Bill, Jr., is a freshman at Washington and Lee; the daugh ter, Mary, is at Columbia High. For recreation, Mr. Kellam en gages in and enjoys chess, fishing. hunting, and tennis. He remarked, "I don't enjoy tennis like I once did in my 'younger' days." His great interest in the stu dents and the library was ex pressed when he said, "The main reason for a library is to serve the educational needs of the students and teachers. We hope to organize the library procedure so we can give good service. If a student has any suggestion any time, come in and let's talk it over." Those that heard Mr. Kellam speak over the Library Hour Sat urday night know how diligently U he is working for us and we wel come him to our campus. Blue-Jean Clad For Approachin By PANDA COVINGTON If you will take a walk over to Melton Field one of these after noons when you have a few min utes to spare between the hours of three-thirty and four-thirty you will find the satisfaction for your craze for "something different." For now Melton Field has the distinction of being the only field I know of that is the scene of foot ball practice for GIRLS. There among scattered lip-stick tubes and clad In "blue-jeans" you will find the P1 Phi's and Tri Delt's practicing for the classic POW DER BOWL game which will take place the night before the Caro lina-Clemson event. I mean to tell you it's worth %your while to watch those girls actually going through the same routines that the Gamnecocks use for preliminary training.,And with Joe Patron. as coach for the P1 Phi's and Hal Middlebrooks for the Tri Delt's, the girls will have Sexpert instruction. Show Yoi It USC New Rulings On Vet Insurance; Medical Rights By THOMAS EVANS A recent development effected by the Insurpnee Act of 1946, whereby beneficiaries of National Service Life Insurance policy holders have been granted the op tion of lump sum settlement or extended monthly payments, as of August, 1946, has been made known by the V. A. Guidance Cen ter. For those desiring to have lapsed policies reinstated, the process is simple. It must be done, however, before January 1, 1947. Detailed instructions and the nec essary forms will be supplied to interested persons upon applica tz; t tha Insurance RepresentA tive's office, located at the Vet erans Center on the first floor of McKissick Library. Medical Care An addttlohal benefit of which all students, including Veterans, are eligible is the medical care fur nished by the University Infirm ary, at Green and Bull streets. Most expenses incurred by Vet erans for infirmary care are borne by the V. A. The exceptions are for meals required by bed patients and for special medicines when the latter arc needed. "We do everything short of op erations here," explained Miss Long, a nurse at the infirmary. "If a Veteran needs that, we will pro vide transportation to the Vet erans Hospital," she continued. It was further pointed out that any veteran needing an operation and desiring treatment in a private hospital, could request the serv ices of a University surgeon and receive that attention free of charge. Physical examinations may be had by any student upon ap pointment. HELP WANTED! Ushers are desperately need ed fer the Carolina home foot ball games. Anyone who is in terested should contact Dumas Turner in the Athletic Office. Girls Practice Foot ball Frolic -From all reports of the past two games between these two teams, there is no doubt in my mind that these girls have the spunk and sense of humor to make this event not only one of the most unusual of its kind but also one of the most entertaining football matches of the year. When girls will try a man's game in order to provide funds to keep the three campus publications out of the "Red," then you've got to hand it to them-they're really here to stay-Girls, that is. In my opinion they deserve a celebration in their honor, and I'd like to see the Student Body initiate a move to include the nite of the Powder Bowl in with the annual Carolina Clemson Jubilee. A turn-out by the entire stu dent body is expected since plans are being made to have prominent magazines and National News papers cover the game. Let's give these girls all the support any team could ever hope for. ur School VaI Fn( AdMII TOP: Carolina's quarterback James him out of bounds in the second qua races for a touchdown on the first guard Max Walker. Many New Tead English Departmi By BOB CARPENTER "Few students realizo just how] much the enrollment of the Eng lish department has increased," Dr. Havilah Babcock, head of the do partment, stated at a recent inter-< view. "In November, 1945, 1,892 stu- I dents had registered for English courses. This year we've topped that figure by 1208 students-or a total of 8100 persons. The ma jority of these students are enroll ed either in the two freshman courses, English 11 and 12." There are 121 separate sections in the department this year, an increase of 63 sections over the last year's number. Of course with a a department this large it is im possible to find adequate apace to handle the classes. Therefore it isn't surprising that the depart mont had to look about the cam pus for rooms to supplement the few classrooms in Davis College. In mapy cases the department has had to share rooms with other courses, teaching in shifts and gen erally in a turmoil. "Incidentally," Dr. Babcock went on to say, "the English Depart ment has added eleven new In structors to the fourteen of last year. And according to talk on the campus, we've had no trouble hold ing the students' attention. The English department has never had Spirit!

Student'president, Fred Brogdon said yesterday, "I can see no grounds for the Administration's refusal of this request." Thirty students attending a loint meeting with union officials at the Jefferson Hotel Sunday were told of an alternate plan should the request be rejected. rhat plan would call for the in lividual organizations to sign igreements with the A. F. M. Under this plan the University Aould not be removed from the )lack list and A.F.M. orchestras Nould be unable to play on the :aipus.
