Dri Conant, Harvard Prexy, Has Eminent Service Record President James Bryant Conant of Harvard University, principal speak er at University Day Celebration to be held October 12, was one of the first to call for universal conscription in the early days of the war. He was a member of the Baruch Com mittee which exposed failures in rub ber production, recommended gasoline rationing and the speed limit of 35 jniles per hour. Before becoming president of Har vard at the age c)f 40 in 1933, he was 3 chemist, He. says: "Science may temporarily appear to bloom under tfie dictatorship of a Hitler or a !3 aliii, bujt no one who has , known tbe .history of science can fail to prophesy the ultimate withering of the scientific tradition in k tp'tali tarian state.

Wednesday Night By Arnold Dolin The Playmakers Theatre curtain will rise Wednesday night at 7:3Q on the 105th bill of experimental produc tions of new plays presented by the Carolina Playmakers. More than 300 plays written by students have been produced by the Playmakers during its course of organization, which is an accomplishment unique among other dramatic groups. .' . The primary object in .he founding of the Carolina Playmakers by Dr. Frederick'H. Koch in 191 was to fos ter play writing talent, and the3 plan for experimental bills was begun at that tiine. This is now considered Jhe most important work done by the group because it - serves as a labora tory in which the student-writer may try put his theories in actual produc tion. Five bills, each composed of three original one-act plays and one three act play, are presented every year. These experimental? are written, di rected and produced entirely by stu dents, and presented to a local audi ence at no admission charge. After each play, a discussion of its merits and faults is carried on between the audience and the author. This affords the author an opportunity to obtain the reactions of the audience to his play and also gives the audience a chance to air its opinions. The three budding playwrights whpse works will be presented tomor row night offered the following com ments in reference to their plays: Phyllis Sullivan, author of "Five Notes in a Bar" "I have tried to pre sent some lovable, laughable charac ters in a comedy full of movement and light. The only purpose of the play, other than sheer entertainment, is to emphasize the joy of living and the eternal youthfulness of the spirit." See PLAYMAJCERS, page U. i i'1 --V.-s----1 DR. Jf. B.

University-Owned Cafeteria Re-Opens For UNC Students Lenoir Hall Used By PrerFJight Since 1942; Graham Memorial Grill Closes After Monday By Mary Hill Gaston Leiioir Dining Hall, recently decommissioned by the Navy af ter beinp; used for the past three years as a dining hall for Pre Flight cadets here, will open for lunch today, L. H. Gooch, who manages the cafeteria, has announced. Manager Gooch has revealed that" Graham Memorial Grill, used as a cafeteria since the advent of the Navy, closed after dinner Monday night. The Grill will prpbably not be used again until the capacity of Le noir Hall becomes inadequate. Many members of the GM staff have trans f erred to Lenoir Hall, which has 70 regular employees and a number of self-help students. Breakfast is seryed frpm 7:00 until y:io &. pi., lunch from 11:45 a. m to 2:00 p. m., and dinner from 5:00 to 7:00 p. m. It is hoped that, by pro longing the breakfast schedule 15 minutes after 9:00 o'clock, many Students will be spared a trip down town to get breakfast. Lenoir is one of the largest and most modern cafeterias in the nation and has a seating capacity of 1,050 people. The $210,000 plant was opened in 1940 and was used by University students and faculty before the Navy took it over in 1942. Two Entrances There are two entrances to the din ing hall. Both north and south doors open into lobbies, where room is pro vided for books and wearjng apparel. Lounges are located off these rooms. The lobbies are eppnected with the main dming ljall, . where the latest in cafeteria equipment is in operation. Two lines, eaci witfc separate cash: lers, increase tne efficiency of the new set-up. Only the main part of Lenoir are open at present. In the northeast arid southwest parts of the buildings are wings which contain space for addi tional service. A sharp increase in the student body will be necessary before this space will be required. Before the Navy took over the dining hall, a luncheonette and a soda fountain were located in these wings, but these were plosed on arrival of he See LENOIR HALL, page i. UCPfStatement Qf Principles Available Today Doug Hunt, chairman of the newly organized United Carolina Party, has announced that mimeographed state ments of the party's principles will be available today for distribution to the campus. In a discussion of the membership goal of Carolina's newest political party, Chairman Hunt said, "Ve do not expect to enroll the whole cam pus in the party, but we do hope that as many students as believe in these principles will enroll in the United Carolina Party.1? Firsf tep in the enrollment proce? dure will be to sign the statement of principle. Person? signing jhe issued statement will automatically be made members. A membership committee will direct thjs activity for the UCP. It? duties are fwp-fpld: jt will recruit members and will ref use to admit those who are obviously joining to "get on the band wagon'' and not because they believe in what the UCP is trying to do. This does not mean that applicants' have to "pass the membership committee" There are no such things as appli cants (when yc;u sign, you're n), and the membership committee wjlj hot re fuse to honor the signed statement un less, it is apparent that . the person signing does not mean what he says. Even when rejected by the member ship committee, a person may appeal the, decision to the party as a wjiole. ; .

Penrose Har land, will present Henry Scott, emin ent humorist, at 8:30 p.m. Monday, October 15th at Memorial JIall. Block tickets to all concerts in the series presented by the- Student Entertain ment Committee must be purchased by all civilian students at registration. Concert satire is based on the pre mise that humor has a place in the concert hall just as much as on the stage, in literature and in the plastic arts. Accordingly, in a series of num bers "A Great Concert Pianist," "Chopin in the Citrus Belt," "Little Boy Genuis Grows Up," "Rhythm at Any Cost" and "Mittens on the Keys," Scott will satirize some of the follies and amiable weaknesses of the music world. His program will also include a section devoted to serious classics and another section devoted to popular styles in modern piano playing1, on which subject he is considered an au thority. This will include swing im pressions of leading modern popular piano styles in concert impressions of Eddy Duchjn and others. "Rhythm at Any Cost'.' and "Mittens on the Keys" will make us. of Scott's peculiar trade mark, the mitten. Sev eral years ago he invented for his pi ano students a finger strengthening device known as the technical mitten which is widely used by musicians. In "Rhythm at Any Cost," Scott begins a number bare-handed, and, without in terrupting hjs playing, draws on first pne mitten, and then the other before the final bars. The classical section of Scott'? pro gram will include Scarlatti, Chopin, and Liszt. Scott attended Syracuse University College of Fine Arts, where he was much n demand as an entertainer. He has progressed steadily as an artist aijd humorist since that date, culmin ating in a successful concert at Town Hall, New York City, this past season. Gee Clubs Perform For Public Friday The Men's and Women's Glee Clubs will combine forces for ' their first public appearance, under the direction of Professor PauJ Ypung, at Found ers' Day services Friday. The vocal groups , will sing "How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place" from Brahm's "Requiem." The Men's Glee Club , will also present Jhe old Latin hymn "Integer Vitae," which has been part of the Founders' Day pro gram for many years.
