In creased membership has made it neces sary to search for practice rooms which can be used in place of the choral room in Hill Hall. At the present time membership is closed to all but exceptionally talented girls, says Jane Worrall, president. A steady growth has been shown by the club with 32 members in 1943 and 92 in 1944. Work has already begun on the Christmas concert which will be given with the Men's Glee Club. A panorama of Yuletide music ranging from sixteenth century carols to con temporary melodies will be featured. '- " fV- .... - 't , " ' 1 Clarence Heer A?.nL I F.

Plans call for a four-man board of judges, including one professional photographer, to evaluate the snaps. It was pointed out that the exhibit is not limited to size, color or subject matter provided that the theme covers any part of the Sadie Hawkins Day celebration. arch these brilliantly painted por traits attract the attention of all who enter the building. The Son and Daughter of Heaven, in magnificent robes are seated upon lacquer chairs, known as the Dragon Thrones, and look out upon the world with the enigmatic gravity which the West has learned to associate with the Far East. The size is impressive as they are about 5 by 10 feet and painted in beautifully blended colors, predomi nantly red and gold. These portraits, in the form of scrolls, are called Kakemono by the Chinese, and this scroll work is their chief form of painting. They were presented to the University in 1933 by Col. Robert S. Pickens of Lees burg, Va., formerly of Charlotte, N. C. Col. Pickens is a graduate of the University. In China such paintings are in tended for wall hangings and some what take the place of tapestries as used in the Western world.

MacKinney, His tory department, discuss in this article the next major production of the Carolina Playmakers, T. S. Eliot's "Murder in the Cathedral," to be pre sented December 6, 7, 8. "Murder in the Cathedral" is a po- ; - etic dramatization of the life of Thomas A. Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury in the 12th century, up to the time and ending with his murder which King Henry II allowed to take place. It is a straightforward play, written to appeal to a wide public. Gripping Play Dr. Cotten, who is now making a close study of Eliot's works, says : "It should grip the audience very deeply because the incident itself is highly dramatic, because the human feelings which Eliot expresses in the play are vital ones, and finally because the lan guage is powerful and beautiful." Dr. MacKinney adds: "The general historical pattern is all right, and the psychological clash between the King and Archbishop, the state and church, is well portrayed." According to Dr. Cotten, the theme PATIENT '" : l terr" f L fa-' S III ih -o 1 '' "J 'i '. i.imf. of "Murder in the Cathedral" is the question of martyrdom, and Eliot tries to show all the human qualities in volved. Even though the scene is laid in the 12th century, the problems are universal. In a way the play is paradoxical as Dr. Cotten points out : "It tries to show the church as a stabilizing force on the world and also as a disrupting force." Dr. MacKinney especiallv likes the statements brought forth in the play as to Becket's reversal of aims and destructive attitude on national unity and royal power." New Literary Form Dr. Cotten stressed during the inter view that Becket was a human, dra matic figure, that Eliot was striving for a new literary form in poetry the fusing of verse and drama more close ly than has ever been done in our mod ern age. Dr. MacKinney feels histori cally "that the outcome of it all, the King's repentance and doubtless sin cere regret of Becket's death, should come into the picture. Eliot perhaps couldn't include it, but these points should be kept in mind. I could pick minor flaws of ommission but in gener al I think the presentation is a faithful modern glance into the past." his work. Chinese painters along this line Eave never been excelled and their work on silk, which is especial ly prepared with alum, is practically indestructible. The Chinese school of painting is one of the earliest of which we have any record, and its be ginnings are lost in the early days before written history began.

The Communique Hill Merchants Get Thank Vote For Donations Officials of the Carolina Indepen dent Coeds Association together with the Veterans' Organization and Gra ham Memorial directors have released a list of local merchants who donat ed prizes for Sadie Hawkins Day. It was due directly to their cooperation on so short a notice that the day proved so successful. Campus heads have agreed to begin preparations for next year's celebration several months in advance.

He wears a Unit Ci tation awarded by the Army War Col lege for outstanding work in the journalistic field. Lt. Bishop stated that work with the Public Relations Office had proved interesting during his service with that branch. "Publicity trends change over a period of time in the Army," he said. "Once almost any kind of news was acceptable in army publicatoins, when the bulk of the troops were still in the States training. When they began ship- ing overseas in sizeable numbers, of course only overseas news predominat ed". One purpose of their visit to Chapel Hill is to check on how aceptable to civilian agencies are the news releases from Army Public Relations Offices. The two include in their duties fre quent radio work and participation in victory bond, campaigns in addition to providing news for camp newspapers. After a short stay at Chapel Hill, they will go to New Bern, home of Lt. Bi shop, where they will participate in a radio broadcast in connection with ceremonies commemorating the 113th Artillery Battalion, which originated in that city as a Regiment of the 30th Infantry Division.
