While teaching several cour ses in practical playwriting at the two sessions of summer school at the University of Colo rado, Professor Frederick Henry Koch Kenan professor of dramatic literature here, es tablished a new record for him self when he presented a group of five plays just 23 days after the first meeting of his playwrit ing class of the first summer session and another group of seven plays in the same period of time during the second sum mer session. According to Pro fessor Koch, this feat is the fast est work he has done in his long career of play producing. During the first session of summer school at the univer sity, located at Boulder,, Colo rado, Professor Koch conducted two classes, one in practical play- writing dealing with selection of material, characterization, dia logue, situation, and theatrical effectiveness, and another in comparative drama dealing with the chief European dramatists and covering the great plays from Aeschylus to Ibsen. The playwriting class was continued during the second session and Professor Koch also led a writ- ers iorum on "Play Writing Western Source Material' at the fourth annual writers con ference at Boulder "July 24-Au- gust 12. The best plays written in the class were produced at the end of each term. ; The first group of five plays and a reading were produced in two sets Wednesday evening, July 12, and Friday evening, July 14, in the Univer sity Lecture theatre. The Wed nesday night program included a reading of "Vanity, Vanity," a folk comedy of Dakota, by Anne B. Walters, the author; "Boswell's 'Dobe," a folk play of Oklahoma ranch life, by Jo sephine McGinnis; and "Perfect Understanding,", a comedy of a sorority kitchen, by Nat Farn worth. Besides writing the plays, the Colorado summer school students also directed and acted them.

Due to an illness contracted during the summer, President Frank P. Graham was unable to appear at assembly yesterday morning, and the usual formal opening of the University year was not conducted. Regular freshman assembly was held, with R. B. House, executive sec retary of the University, deliv ering an address to the new men. In his speech, Colonel House stressed three "fundamentals of success": integrity of charac ter, mastery, and alertness. "History shows," he declaredt "that no forward step has ever been taken except by a person of integrity, and that applies to states and nations as well as in dividuals." ' Great Opportunities Recognizing the-' fact 'that this year's freshmen have put into their planning for college morO serious thought than any group in recent years, Colonel House admonished the newcomers to make the most of their oppor tunities. : ; . "THe cliief business of stu dents who come to the Univer sity is study and if that is not your primary purpose in coming here you have made a mistake." He urged, however, that stu dents round 'out their develop ment by devoting what time they could spare to extra-curricular activities. "You are beginning the great est adventure a young man or woman can ever begin, and it is primarily a spirit of adventure," he asserted. "You have cast your lot with one of the Oldest noblest, and freest of American universities. "Education is growth in spirit, mind, and body." Dr. Francis F. Bradshaw, dean of students, presided over the gathering, which was con ducted in Memorial hall. The Reverend Alfred S. Lawrence, rector of the local Episcopal church, led1 the devotional pro gram. Heer Not Here Dr.- Clarence Heer, research professor of public finance in the department of economics and commerce, has been granted a leave of absence for one year to serve as research investigator for the Interstate Commission on taxation with offices in Chi cago.

FROSHHANDBOOR BESTM11924 Issue Edited by Carl Thompson Lauded by Y Secretary for Or ganization and Coverage. The 1933 edition of the Caro lina "Freshman Handbook;" edited by Carl G. Thompson, Jr., was one of the best or ganized and most complete is sues ever put out, according to Harry F. Comer, general secre tary of the Y. M. C. A. In the twelve years that Mr. Comer has been connected with the University Y. M.; C. A., only one issue, that of 1924, which was edited by George Stevens, was comparable to the present edition; The. success of the 1933 book was due, according" to Comer; to the thorough- cover age of the staff and the coopera tion of all those connected with its publication. The handbook is issued year ly by the Y. M. C. A. and mailed to all incoming Carolina fresh men. New features of the 1933 edition included a map drawing of the campus by Mary Dirn berger, a list of the University buildings and the subjects taught in each, summaries of all of last year's sports, and a more thorough coverage of campus or ganizations. .. ' Another improvement over previous editions was the addi tion of many bits of informa tion to the new men. The edi tors also endeavored to perpet uate the custom of printing the book in the colors of the incom ing class, a precedent set several years ago. Other members of the staff in cluded V. C. Royster, associate editor ; Phil Hammer, assistant editor; W: H. Minor, Jr., busi ness manager; William Ander son, sports editor ; . and Charles Bond, Y. M. C. A. editor.
