"Hold For Deposit"
"In an effort to aid the stu
dent," a story in yesterday's is
sue read, "plans are being made
by the University business de
partment and the student advis
ory 'board whereby students will
no longer be required to call at
the Laundry department office
when deposits become exhaust
ed ..
The plan outlined by the Uni
versity's business manager, L. B.
Rogerson, will provide an assess
ment at the time the laundry
fund reaches the point of "abso
lute diminishing returns."
The student will subsequently
be billed by the University busi
ness office. As usual, he will re
ceive a rebate for the amount
not used, but this will be carried
over until the end of the spring
quarter in most" cases.
The specific results will be a
saving of energy for' some 1500
students who have to trek to the
Franklin street office for laundry
"held for deposit" anb! a consid
erably easier task of bookkeep
ing for laundry officials.
You are quite familiar with
the hard concrete grandstand at
Emerson stadium for every
game. Their backing and spirit
is as plainly shown in their yells
of encouragement for. Stirny,
Matty and the boys, as in their
friendly jibes at the visitors.
This same crowd invaded Fet
zer field yesterday to see Caro
lina upset. Matty Geis' trackmen
from Princeton and these per
spiring fans made the temporary
stands creak while our tennis
champs defeated Cornell again
naturally.
AH this adds up to one thing.
The announcement is now of
ficial : Spring is here !
The telephone rang yesterday
morning and a voice asked, "This
is an honorable pledge. One of
my honorable brothers wants to
i know where the editor of the
honorable Daily Tar Heel gets
his old maidish ideas about haz
ing." .

we are also ready to offer com
mendation. Our premise has
been: efforts for efficiency
should not sacrifice the student.
This new plan seems to meet
this specification.
He was told it was none of his
business.
lnat, of course, was wrong,
for at that time the honorable
pledge was being hazed.
A good answer is the latest re
ported atrocity. .

ATHLETES
Show Spring -Is
Here
Leaves are popping out on our
trees, bushes are blooming and
everybody is saying "Spring is
here." But until yesterday we
were not so sure, despite the mild
weather and other evidence.
Three bewildered Washington
and Lee pitchers tried to stop
the Carolina baseball machine
from blasting them off the field
yesterday, but to no avail. As
Sportswriter Shelley Rolfe tells
you across the page, the Generals
were Jbeaten 18-1.
Mr. Paul Green's "The Field God"
(presented on Friday and Monday
nights at. Memorial Hall by the Car
olina Playmakers) serves as both a
text for a commendable American
folk drama and as an, interesting ex
ample of the honest expression in our
contemporary literature. Both of these
types of drama expression demand
of a writer certain basic qualities
which, by their scarcity, have become
such outstanding attributes that, we
are willing to overlook certain other
flaws which the playwright might
possess. These qualities are smcer
ity, honesty, understanding, and "in
telligence. In possessing these Mr.
Green has much and where they are
of use his play has a heavy tragic
power. Where these are of no use
he sometimes falls into clumsiness
and sluggishness of structure. And
this usually is despite a good story
which, with his folky idiom, he ac
commodates to his idea.
"The Field God" offers Green in
the drama which seems to represent
him at his most convincing appeal.
He writes of people seeking some sort
of dignity and right in their lives un
der the brutal clarity of an apparent-
y indifferent nature. In concentrat
ing here upon the matter of a man's i
religion he posts a fundamental and
timeless question midst the earthly
commonplace of the farm life. It is
the familiar Green setting objec
tive, perhaps, with his recollections
of people ( whom he knew and sub
jective ' with the theme he carries
back to put into the mouth of his
people.
The play is concerned with Hardy
Gilchrist. Without malice and with
much love he almost seems to destroy
hose closest to him. A sucessf ul plant
er, Uilchrist has been able - to live a
respected life "in a community despite
his own indifference to official re-
igions and the religiosity of the com
munity. But Etta, his wife, has be
come a pathetic old woman, barren
and frustrated, and absorbed in her
religion. The appearance of her niece,
the seemingly fatalistic love of Gil
christ and the girl, the impact of
this upon the others, and the cumul
ative effect of everything until Gil
christ destroys himself represent the
action of the play. In its dignity of
movement and slow-changing inevi
tability and final defeat that is more
of a personal victory, the play resem
bles the Greeks.
Gilchrist, like them, is of high es
tate although it is a pleasant plati
tude that we today recognize nobility
in more humble outward forms. His
lack of religion that is, the outward
manifestations of it is not aggres
sive. He wants only to be left , alone
to lead a good and respected life and
find the spirit of something m his
land. But Green portrays the slowly
narrowing vise of society around
him after the half-sin of his love for
the girl. Gilchrist is a "big" man,
and he struggles. He would fight the
elements he doesn't know and the peo
ple who have misunderstood. But the
girl falls away weakly from the lone
liness of their fight. She "gets re
ligious." Left alore now, still not
understanding, still honest but now
confused, Gilchrist destroys himself.
Thus asserting himself as master of
the mystery.
It is unlikely that Green intends
to present any real solution to either
the problem of man with his universe
or 01 sincere ana nonest man witn
his antagonistic community. If there
can be. such a thing as "grand poetry
of robust confusion," that is "The
Field God." An honest statement of
belief is all a writer need possess. We
may inquire, however, if he suitably
accommodated his story to the belief.
The character of Gilchrist of course
is central, and the force of the play
rises or falls with the power 01 nis

power
lines. Green has written him well,
and caught in him the dignity of the
field. The play itself, however, moves
in episodic developments of increas
ing violence. Although there are a
few lags the brutal strength of the
fate-like heapings up of havoc were
highly dramatic. It is possible to com
plain that the most significant ac
tion seemed to come from without the
major motivations of the play. But
it must be so with a character like
Hardy Gilchrist.
Robert Bowers, in the main role,
was the able and vital actor that he
has always been upon the Play-
maker stage. His understanding and
restraint were in happy contrast with
an occasional exaggration of the folky
"ham" in one or two of the minor'
characterizations. Sanford Reece was
effctive in a different role while I.
T. Littleton took commendale advan
tage of a very good minor character
ization. Physically, the production
is a good one. The play was direct
ed by Samuel Selden with a
Methodist university, ; well known
throughout the Southwest; Lester W.
Dearborn, director, of the Boston
Counseling Service: Mrs. Erling S.
Hellekron, Associated Charities, Cleve
land; Roy E. Dickerson, Kansas City,
Mo., lecturer and writer on problems
of youth; Rev. Charles P.-Cressman
of the St. James Evangelical Luth
eran church, Lebanon, Pa., a leading
instructor in marriage in his denomi
nation; P. H. Cook, Melbourne, Aus
tralia, who is studying education for
family life at various American uni
versities; and Prof. Hiden Garvey,
teacher of marriage courses at
Stephens college, Columbia, Mo.
One of the features of the four-day
program will be a demonstration in
classroom instruction in marriage at
the College of , William and Mary.
Miss Olive Stone, William and Mary
sociologist, will bring by bus a group
of her students and members of her
advisory committee to give the demon
stration. .
Twenty-five specialists representing
a wide variety of interests in the field
of marriage, including those of the
teacher, doctor, lawyer, minister,
parent, editor, author, clinic special
ist, student and social worker, will
participate in the conference.
President Frank P. Graham of the
j University here will welcome the dele
gates and President W. P. Few of
Duke university will serve as host at
the Thursday session.

months, blasting the New Deal, and
predicting disastrous results should
President Roosevelt be elected for a
third term. Advocating a 17 point
program which covers all phases of
our national economy, Gannett f ov
ors a return to a government in
which business plays the predomi

The Rochester publisher claims that
he can solve the unemployment prob
lem by putting efficient management
into government agencies, encourag
ing business confidence, reducing tax
ation, rewriting or amending the
NLRA to guarantee a square deal to
employer, employee, and the public,
and taking an accurate census of all
workers and unemployed to give gov

which prevented some of the more mel

hand. Elmer Hall's settings, accom
modated to an unusually large stage,
were interesting and seemingly au
thentic. Most of all, it seems to me, "The

sionate to be bitter and too decent
to be blasphemous that rides over the
actual mechanics and, rather between
the actual' lines, gives the commend-
care able power of the play. A. S.
