Weekly Radio Classes Continually Seeking Recruits For Group Earl Wynn and Paul Green, co sponsors of the popular radio classes which meet in the Caldwell Hall ra- dio studio every Sunday night at 7:30, are as much on the lookout for recruits to the group as ever. The continual search for original radio plays makes it necessary to have as many plays as possible read before the class. Many of the plays already performed over a state-wide network have come from this group "The Young People" by Fred Howard and Sanford Reece's "The Sound of Them Marching" be ing two such examples. Students who attend the class have an opportunity to learn a number of "tricks of the trade" about writing for radio. The Sunday night class is attended by a number of professional writers who are glad to be of any help to eager but inexperienced be ginners, and the professionals con stitute a valuable board of expert crit ics. At the disposal of those who visit the class are the talents of Paul Green in dramatics and Phillips Rus sell in general creative writing.

Two Movies Screened For Film Club Today In Playmaker Theater Two films, "Hands" and "Sunrise," will be presented for the Playmakers film club this afternoon at 2:30 in the Playmaker theater. "Hands," made in Berlin in 1928 by Stella Simon, a New York photog rapher, is an experimental picture in which only the hands of the actors are shown.

In answer to the first question, 76 per cent of those interviewed said that they approved the party system for conducting campus politics, 18 per cent disapproved while six per cent expressed no opinion. STRAIGHT TICKET This does not necessarily mean that the students approve party or "straight ticket" voting, since in an swer to question two, 51 per cent said they did not vote on party lines and to question three, 39 per cent said that they approved neither party more than the other. Replies to question two lined up like this: 42 per cent on party lines; 51 per cent do not vote on party lines; 11 per cent expressed no opinion.

Frank Fuller, the Durham lad who wound up at Virginia, also went into the world record-breaking class, run ning the 70-yard high hurdles in 8.4 seconds and breaking the accepted mark bf :8.5 that he, Corpening and Marshall Farmer equalled two weeks ago at Baltimore. It was hoped that Corpening, after having his mark re fused then because he wasn't awarded first place, would be able to gain of ficial recognition for an :8.5 perform ance, but Fuller spoiled all hopes for that when he dashed off his new mark in the afternoon trials. Incidentally, Carolina's flying Tar Heels won the Southern conference team championship for the second straight year and rolled up a total of 55 13 points on the way to break the meet-scoring record of 52 points set by the Carolina team in 1939. Other con ference scores were Maryland 29, Duke 23 23, W & L 16, Richmond 4, South Carolina 3. W & M one. Non-conference scores were Navy 35 34, Virginia 20 , Newberry 8, Georgia 5, Georgia Tech and West Chester Teachers college three each. i-Ereshman, scores ..were. Virginia 23, Carolina 14.4, VPI 6, Duke 5.4, W & M 5.2, State one. . Scholastic scores were W & L high (Arlington, Va.) 12, Central (Wash ington, D. C.) and Durham 6 each, Jefferson (Roanoke) 5, Bel Air (Md.) and West Nottingham academy 5 each. Corpening bowed out his career generally acclaimed as Carolina's greatest all-around trackman, the real authentic one-man-track-team who might lay a singular claim to that title. Corpening was the individual star of the Indoor games for the sec ond year in a row. Last year Wild Bill won two events, including a record-breaking high jump, and placed in another event to get 12 points for scoring honors, and last night the same Wild William repeated his dou ble victory in the same two events and (Continued on page 3, column 1) Scriptwriters Meet Members of "The Sound and Fury' scriptwriting committee will meet on the second floor of Graham Memorial this afternoon at 2 o'clock.

THIRD PARTY The fourth question, which was put to the students before the announce ment Friday night of a third and fourth party, showed 50 per cent of the students to be opposed to the or ganization of a third party, while 36 per cent favored such an organization and 14 per cent expressed no opinion. These opinions merely mean that half of the . students don't feel . there is a place for an extra party, not whether or not .they will support - the . party once organized.
