Beauty Of Spring On Campus
Decreased By Deforestation
-o
Dying Condition of a Number of Trees Has But Little Effect on
Poplar Which, With Its Grafted Offspring, Continues to Be in
Excellent Condition and Good for Many More Years.
o
Although impending spring j
will once again provide Chapel
Hill with one of the most beau
tiful horticultural displays in
this section of the country, the
yearly arrival of that season al
so indicates the rapid deforesta
tion of the campus. In sharp
contrast to the gorgeous bloom
of the arboretum and the hand
some flowering of campus shrub
bery, many of the trees will re
main as barren and gaunt as in
deep winter.
A number of these trees have
been pronounced, dead and are
rapidly being cut down to add
further to the openness of spots
which were once shady groves.
Most of the trees between South
building and the library have
bad to be removed, and .it is ex
pected that before long many
others will follow them to the
wood-pile. That area, which
once had the aspect of a wild,
handsome woods, is now a dole
ful shadow of itself, resembling
a rolling plain in which the sur
viving trees appear intruders.
Davie Poplar Hardy
Despite the dying condition of
wany of its neighbors. Davie
Poplar, whose gnarled Pisa-like
growth, has been an object of
admiration and reverence since
the founding of the University,
m considerably better shape
than many of its associates. The
arrival of spring finds the tough
old product almost "as good as
ever." Notwithstanding the
Jarge hole which bores from
roots to top, the only serious
dangers that attack the tree are
the frequent storms that strike

Considered For Post
According to an announcement
appearing in the state papers
Thursday morning, the name of
Mrs. Lymen A. Cotten, of Chapel
Hill, has been presented to Postmaster-General
Farley by the
North Carolina delegation in

Mrs. Lymen's name was pre
sented to Farley by Mr. Dough

tion, who asserted that she had
the support of the North Caro

Democratic organizations. Mr.
Doughton said that he doubted
if any candidate for office from
the state had ever presented
such a fine array of supporters,

Farley said that he would

ALLOTMENTS FOR
STATE AGENCIES
SLICED FURTHER
University's Position Following
Additional Slash Yesterday
As Yet Undetermined.
Institutions, state depart
ments, bureaus and commissions
were notified yesterday by the
state budget bureau that they
must operate for April, May,
and June on an allotment much
smaller than expected and one
"that will seem at first absurd
and impossible."
Information on how this fur
ther reduction in the state allot
ments will affect the University
could not be obtained last night
but it will further cut the funds
received from the state.
According to the memoran
dum of the budget commission,
savings have heretofore been
emphasized in all other expenses
to maintain salaries and wages
but with state revenue sources
drying up, cuts now have to be
made largely in salaries and
wages.
Amounts Not Given
The amounts of the cuts in
different departments receiving
state suport were not announced
but it was reported that the al
lotments would fall below salary
totals.
If the allotment to the Univer
sity is reduced similarly to those
of other state agencies, the re
duction for the next three
months will probably fall heavi
est on salaries of faculty members.

Notice to Seniors
From the Carolina Playmak-!
ers to the New York City
Theatre Guild in less than five
years, is the story of the rise
of Shepperd Strudwick, erst
while Carolina student. He has
the part of the only honest con
gressman in the Broadway pro
duction Both Your Houses. The
play, which was favorably re
viewed in last Sunday's New
York Times, is an attack on
political corruption, with the
Congress of the United States
providing the setting. Strudwick
plays the part of a young Neva
dan on the House appropriations
committee who fights the graft
of the other four hundred and
some congressmen. v
His performance won him ex
ceptional praise from many lead
ing Metropolitan critics. "Shep
perd Strudwick," says Brooks
Atkinson in the New York
Times of March 7, "who is here
playing his first important role,
is superb as the Nevada rebel-
boyishly embarrassed in the be
ginning, cuttingly forthright
when his blood is aroused." The
New York Herald-Tribune says,
"The Theatre GuHd lifted its
curtain on a new play . . . but
on a new actor as well. In pre
senting Both Your Houses . .
it presented also Shepnerd
Strudwick, who scored a tri
umph all his own . . ." The paper
says that Strudwick's position is
securely established as a result
of his opening night perform
ance. First Important Part
Strudwick has played on
Broadway for several years, but
he did not receive a chance to
show his ability until he was
given the role of Alan McClean
in Both Your Houses.
When the play went into re
hearsal, Strudwick was engaged
as an understudy, and a chance
at the leading part seemed re
mote. During the first week of
rehearsals he was tried in the
role and was successful.
Strudwick, described by Pro
fessor F. H. Koch as "a charm
ing man," of about 33, was ac
tive in the Carolina Playmakers
for all four years when he was
in school and made Phi Beta
Kappa at the . same time. "He
is one of three graduates in fif
teen years," said Professor
Koch, "who showed talents while
a student here that would war
rant their playing juvenile leads
as professionals." A "juvenile
lead" is similar in meaniner to
the less dignified term, "matinee
idol."
Strudwick Was Versatile
Although he did little in the
way of writing, Strudwick was a
versatile actor when here, and

plays and tours. His experience
as an actor in the Carolina Play
makers ranged all the way from
the role of Prospero in Shakes
peare's Tempest to a part in The
Marvelous Romance of Wen
Chun-Chen, a play written by a
Chinese student of Strudwicks
day, Chang Chin Hsiung. Pro
fessor Koch believes that one of
his first parts must have been
