Although Charlie was at first rather

success, he finally broke down and

PRODUCERS DELAY
CAMPUS SHOWING
OF WILDER PLAY
Playmakers Plan
Substitute Program
For March 2, 3,4
Due to delayed production rights
the Playmakers have postponed their
presentation of Thornton Wilder's
"Our Town" until the spring quarter.
Instead, for their forthcoming produc
tion on Thursday, Friday, and Satur
day nights, March 2, 3, 4, they will
present a group of three one-act
plays.
The three plays to be presented are
"Twilight Song," a play of religious
superstition, by Donald Muller of
Boonton, New Jersey; "Kid Sister," a
comedy of adolescence, by Wieder
Siewers of St. Louis, Mo.; and "Pas
que Flower," a play of the Canadian
prairie, by Miss Gwen Pharis of Mar
gath Alberta, Canada.
"Twilight Song" is set in Maryland
in an old homestead which has been in
the Harding family for generations.
The conflict between a mystic and a
realistic attitude arises out of the
nature of Anne Harding, her sister,
Margaret, and her nephew, Swan. The
cast includes: Miss Patsy McMullan,
Chapel Hill; Floyd Childs, LaGrange,
Ga., and Frederick Meyer, Metuchen,
N. J.
"Kid Sister" gives an amusing pic
ture of family life in a large mid
western city. Acting in the play are:
Miss Lucille Verner, Chapel Hill;
Arvil Gentles, Montclair, N. J.; Miss
Nancy Helms, Chapel Hill; Billy
Rawls, Rocky Mount; Harry Lasker,
New York City; and Clifton Young,
Lexington.
"Pasque Flower" takes its name
from the early blooming flower of the
large praries and is set on a large
farm in Western Canada. The four
roles are played by Roberta Robertson,
Chapel Hill; Earl Wynn, Chapel Hill;
Allen Andrews, Goldsboro; and John
Langdon, Coats.

The editor of the Carolina Magazine
stated yesterday that the lead ar
ticle for the February issue, which

that the article was to be an analysis
of 581 freshmen themes written on the

held by the members of the freshmen
class," Editor Creedy went on to ex
plain, "the article was in no sense de

the opinions of the freshmen class.
Though necessarily journalistic in
style, it was, as far as possible, scien
tific and objective. The themes were
classified according to the geographi
cal antecedents of the authors and ac
cording to degree of affirmation and
negation.
The article also included an analy
sis of a number of themes on the same
topic from Negro colleges in the state.
- In an official statement concerning
