It now has a com mittee for the securing, printing, and distribu tion of speeches given on its rostrums. CPU fans throughout the state have repeatedly written for copies of speeches, with the result that a general mailing list has been formed. On the campus, printed copies of speeches are left at the YMCA, free for interested students. The new service is an intelligent one. Sly com ments by clever men can slip by in speeches far quicker than in print. Now CPU-goers can listen and laugh in the evenings, then the next day read and think. "The School for Scandal" American Repertory Theatre Players Handle Sheridan's Polished Rapier with True 18th Century Skill and Delicacy By Bill Hudson There are limits tightly cir- IP GENERAL PERSHING DIES NOW ..In a Tucson, Arizona, sanatorium today, Gen eral John J. Pershing, USA, lies near death. Hour ly, reports from his bedside are wired and radioed across the country. All America, they say, is waiting. , All America was waiting in November, 1918, too, they say waiting for other words from Gen eral Pershing. He was a vigorous soldier, a bril liant strategist, with 3,000,000 men fighting be fore him. There was little fear for his life then; there was little fear, it seems, for anybody's life. November 11 the words came: "The War is over!" Twenty years later Pershing is the last of the military geniuses who marched their armies across the shell-torn fields of Europe, who flung hundreds of thousands of men against each other's bayonets in foggy woodlands and miry swamps. Lord Kitchener is gone. Hindenberg and Foch have folded their maps and secret plans. The "boys" who fought for Pershing in France during the Great War may be wondering today what the General sees and feels in Tucson, so far from Verdun but so near the Death they faced then. UNRECOGNIZED DRAIN ON JUNIOR-SENIOR TREASURIES A fourth year pharmacy school student is not classified as a normal senior. Rumor has it, how ever, that a few think they are. . i Any student who walks into Wootten-Moulton studio simply has to give his name, his class, then pose for a Yackety-Yack picture. The bill for that picture goes to the treasurer of the student's class. The class treasury pays. t M am m aT a a W Wootten-Mouiton reports that the junior ana senior classes have been getting spoof ed. Severa pharmacy - stuaents nave come m, announced themselves not as pharmacy students but as juniors and seniors, 'and have gone on through with the process to the point of winning a berth in the photo section of a class to which they don't belong. Long as the situation continues, it's a , case of cumscribing any dramatic group which produces a specimen of an artificial genre like the 18th century comedy of manners a genre sophisticated in concep tion, valid in its social criticism ; brilliantly epigrammatic in dia logue, neatly and surely con structed; but withal, like the so ciety which begot it, over-re- lined, tnin-Diooded, and some what aslant the plane of essen tial humanity. Working, within these generic limitations, with one of the three or four best English examples of the type, the American Rep ertory Theater gave an excel lent performance Monday eve ning on the student entertain ment series. Sheridan's sharp but brittle wit was exploited . to the full, but with such finesse that it was never over-strained and broken. Into the skillfully drawn but over-typed characters was put as much flesh and blood as the author provided for, and, in one case at least, more than the lines indicate : Gregory Deane, hrough the power, of make up, a whimsical glint in enunciation, and a most charac terful walk, made a man of Sir Oliver Surface, who was created rather colorless bundle of dra matic motivation. The auction eering and the screen episodes the two big scenes where vari ous live wires of intrigue con verge and cause more than the usual ' amount of sparkle and power were carried off with high spirit and exciting. speed. In smooth and polished acting they were rivalled by the tete a-tete, tete-a-l'epaule, and tete- en-l'air scene between Sir Peter and Lady Teazle. George Spaulding's portrayal of Sir Peter was illustrative of one of the strong points of the company as a whole. In the in terpretation of type characters and all the people in sentiment; Deborah Wood did not Sneer too Well; Barbara Benedict, as Lady Teazle, de tailed and humanized- most amusingly the leading feminine role of the country girl married into the obligation of city slick ness; and so forth. Jane Hoff man, however, was perhaps too literally the Maria upon whom Sheridan wasted no individual izing color. In addition to all these points about a particular performance, two encouraging indications of general significance should have been noted Monday night: -1) first-rate professional troupes can be enticed into the prov inces; and 2) modern audiences are not apathetic, by nature, to ward all English drama between Shakespeare and Shaw; give them the opportunity of seeing Sheridan or Goldsmith or Con- greve well-presented, and they will exhibit, to a surprising de gree, an appreciation of the qualities which have made clas sics of the works of such play wrights as these. Student-Faculty Primary To Be Held (Continued from first page) of votes will go to the final elec tion in which the royal couple will be selected. Students are urged to vote for their choices so that an accurate cross section of campus opinion may be had in the primary. On the morning of Student- Faculty day the University band will lead the coronation proces sion through the campus to Me morial hall where the ceremony will be held. The pair will rule throughout the day and at the evening ball at the end of the day's program. WORLD NEWS POP QUIZ By Bob Perkins (Continued from first page) tested in the largest war game ever played in the western hemi sphere beginning March 15. The far-flung operations will test America's sea power in nearly all Pacific waters north of the Equator except those un der Japanese influence. Frank Massamino, writing in the Car,: Magazine, puts words into the mouth of the" presentative" self-help student: ". . . workir" students are expected to maintain grades We have to get up early to do chores. After a hast and scanty breakfast there is work to be done the dining tables, then a full morning of classed I had afternoon duties, and later work at the sandwich shop to do. By the time night came around I was too tired to study. I just flopped into bed to dream of the next weary round." The solution to this very human problem, says a member of the faculty, is "by one method only enrollment limitation." Scarcity Of Jobs T J XI t ff 1 jhsx, iau mere were j.ouu applicants for 400 jobs that could be provided by the University seii-neip oureau. vine 4UU successful applicants won positions on the basis of. need and scholastic ability. . But, Mr. Massamino claims, a number of the 400, who were successful in obtaining the jobs, are not able to work and make their required aca demic mark. So, he suggests, decrease the tiiW ber of jobs available so that only those "whom nature has endowed with uncommon ability" are given the responsibility of such a heavy load. Equal Opportunity "No," answers Mr. Ed. Lanier, head of the Uni versity Self-Help Bureau. "Our ambition h to provide as many opportunities as possible for needy students to attend the University, to give as many of the 1500 applicants jobs as we can make available. If our payroll funds were large enough, I would stand for giving jobs to even those students that would1 have a heavy toad io carry But I would give them a little advice also." In other words, the University cannot say to a poor student who wants a college education: "We have a job for you, but we don't think the sacri fices you will have to make are worth the bene fits of a college education. Therefore, we will not enroll you." Education may be "aristocratic" to the extent that everybody cannot get the same grades. But it can be democratic to the extent that opportuni ties, as nearly equal as financially possible, mav be provided for any man who believes in a college education. On The Air POINT OF VIEW By Ramsay Potts "The School for Scandal" are 18th century dramatic types 7there is a danger of exaggerating the typical qualities beyond the au thor's intentions. Mr. Spaulding skirted this danger skillfully. He showed restraint and intelligent nuancing in his testiness, his awkward handling of domestic problems, his inadaptability to a young wife, and the other quali ties of his type. Similarly Ford sheer benevolence on the part of the junior and Rainey, as Joseph Surface, was senior classes. Mr. Smith takes 75 canta loupes to market and takes along with him 25 more which belong to Mr. Jones. At the market he sells all 100 cantaloupes at 10 cents each and gets $10.00. How ever the market man tells Smith that his melons are worth four cents each more than Mr. Jones'. Now how much of the $10.00 should Smith give Jones for his 25 inferior melons? Answer to Pvthaeoras and his window problem: Pythagoras bisect ed the sides of his old window, con nected the points of bisection, and filled in the corners of the resulting square diamond. If the side of the old window was "a," the side of the new window became the square root of one half times "a." Thus the area of the new window is half the area of the old one, and in reference to the sides of the house the width and height are the same. Note of the National Puzzlers puz zle which ran last week: Frank Hicks claims that the "Little Man" is all wrong and that Emmet Spicer and Tom Thurston are only one tenth right in their answers. He submits the following as solutions for the nuzzle which will check out: 10.90, 9.89, 8.88, 7.87, 6.86, 5.85, 4.84, 3.83 2.82, 1.81.

BIRTHDAYS TODAY , . (Please call by the ticket office of the Carolina theater for a com plimentary pass.) William Carroll Beck Lyal C. Boice James Evans Davis Robert B. Frank Alvis Brooks Petty Henry Haines Stockton Edgar Soggs Taylor There has been a rumor floating around the campus that Dr. Harland received an old Assy rian tablet, supposedly a news-organ of that day. Its cuneiform characters, after being deciphered, read somewhat as follows: "The impact of new inventions, such as chariots and finer road-building materials, is combining with a revival of the theatre to grab off the interest of the reading public." ' That observation was aimed at the writers of the day. The authors who wanted to be read were finding that competition was not restricted ne cessarily to other writings. The DrospectiTe reader was beset on all sides by rival attractions. What should the reader do? Take a ride in his new, chariot? Go see Thigphlealus in the latest comedy? Attend the athletic jrames ? Or sit down and read? He would probably choose the reading only as a last resort. Today even more certainly than in ancient Assyrian times, the writer must be interesting. There are multifarious activities to corral the at tention of the prospective reader. Picture maga zines, radio concerts, movies, athletic contests, and even poker games compete with written ma terial lor attention. To pick up the pen and write cannot gain an audience for the author. People have too many other things to do. Letters To The Editor Over 250 Words Subject to Cutting Editor, Daily Tar Heel, Dear Sir, So the Co-op Store has gone bankrupt too. Well well! Seems that the local merchants could gx certain members of the Commerce Department a few practical lessons in Business Management. In the meantime the students take another fi nancial licking, both through direct investment in the two enterprises and indirectly through the in vestment of the PU board. How long, 0 how long?
