"Review" Sets
Deadline For
Spring Issue
By JOY CONARD
February 25 has been set as
the deadline for material to be
published in the spring edition of
The Carolina Review, according
to Mart Smith, editor. Students
interested in submitting short sto
ries, poetry, articles, or sketches
should turn them in to The Review
office in McKissick library, or ad
dress them to Box 300, campus
mail.
The newly elected board con
sists of Mart Smith, editor; Joe
Bishop, business manager; Red
mond Tyler, managing editor; Jane
Church, Charlotte Baker, associate
editors; Joe Sapp, book editor; and
James Prince, poetry editor. The
next issue, to be distributed
around the middle of March, will
be the first published by the new
staff.
The Carolina Review is the first
successful attempt at a magazine
on the campus since the Caro
linian failed in 1937. The maga
zine was begun a little over a year
ago when members of the Clario
sophic Literary Society decided tc
publish bi-weekly reports of their
meetings in an effort to revive
student interest in debating and
public speaking.
The Hypatian Society became
interested in this plan, and a
merger of effort resulted in a plar
to publish a joint literary maga
zine. It was finally decided tE
make the magazine a campus pub.

Review. Now the magazine re

Mr. Cannon, instructor in ac

intricacies involved in preparing
and filing of income tax forms.
With an eye to easing the dread
ed ordeal which the impending

to every income taxpayer, Mr.
Cannon explained such commonly
heard, yet rarely understood, terms
as "pay-as-you-go", "gross in
come," "joint returns" and "ex
emptions."
An expert in his field, Mr. Can
non also interpreted the various
methods of preparing numerous
forms in simple and easily under
stood terms.
The departmental interview
shared the half-hour spotlight
with musical offerings from mem
bers of the university's Depart
ment of Music. Among the selec
tions heard were "Summertime"
from "Porgy and Bess" and "The
Flower Song" from "Faust", both
rendered vocally by soprano Bur
