Bradley 's Band Highlights Week-En
Greek Houses,

For Visitors
By Bob Hoke
Appearing on the Carolina campus
for the first time, Will Bradley and
his nationally famous band will wind
up the Interdorm set of dances today
with a public concert and informal
dance.
Bradley will play from the Memorial
hall stage this afternoon for the bene
fit concert scheduled to last from S
until 6 o'clock. Proceeds from the ad
vance and door sales of tickets, priced
at 35 cents per couple and 20 cents
stag, will be turned over to the dormi
tory social room fund being carried on
by the Interdormitory Council and
The Daily Tar Heel.
The Grail-Interdorm dance tonight,
final dance of the weekend set, will
feature Bradley's "boogie woogie"
band on the bandstand in the Tin Can.
Admission to the informal dance,
scheduled from 9 until 12 o'clock, is
$1.10. Dance officials stated that the
dance would be informal because of
the basketball game immediately pre
ceeding it. y
To Cut Expenses j
In an effort to cut down on dance
expenses, the figure and flowers for
dates have been eliminated and will be
replaced with an officer's no-break
immediately before intermission.
Initiating a new custom, Aycock
dormitory will hold open house for all
students and their dates from 2 to 5
o'clock this afternoon. The Aycock
newly acquired social , room, specially
bedecked for the occasion, will serve
as social center, and Mrs. Hardeman
will play hostess role.
Following tonight's affair, campus
fraternities will entertain individual
dormitories with open houses in the
frat residences. , The custom, begun
last year, is part of the effort to bring
about closer relations betwen frater
nity and non-fraternity men. The
fraternities and dormitories that they
will entertain are: Phi Delta Theta,

Coed Senate yesterday voted a $250
appropriation to initiate a Washington
lobby designed to maintain the origi
nal NYA appropriation. The money
will be reallotted ffom the original
Senate contribution of $1,000 to the
local NYA drive and will be used to
contact students in other colleges and
encourage them to write their con
gressmen and representatives.
At the same time, the coed Senate
voted to establish an annual scholar
ship of $150 to be given a senior coed
on the basis of need, scholarship, and
interest in student government. The
first scholarship award will be made
to a senior coed next fall. Specific de
tails of the annual award are being
worked out by the scholarship commit

A comprehensive student govern
ment test for future officers of the
Woman's Government association was
adopted by the Senate to replace the
present junior training program
Those coeds interested in being eligi
ble to hold office in the WGA will
take a test covering details of the wo

coeds, and Carolina traditions. Meet
iners will be held over a period of a
week to explain the material covered
by the test but will not be compulsory.
The test will nrobablv be given the
first week in March.
The two graduate representatives
to the Sena'te were eliminated by the

of interest. The graduate represents
tive to the honor council will be con
tinued, however, and her election will

To the Student Body:
This is not a sermon. It is a frank appeal that all Carolina,
students begin at -tonight s game to acquit themselves with the
courtesy and decency that they owe to themselves and to the Uni-
versiy. , ,
This is not a new appeal. It has been made with no success count
less times before. It is made again now because student conduct
at recent games has been more disgraceful than at any time in the
past and because that rudeness has disgusted the team and the
last Tuesday Davidson, the weak sis
ter in loop play, made the Tar Heels
go "all out" to achieve a close 45-38
win.
Duke in the meantime has been sur
prisingly consistent. Starting off the
season in low gear, the Devils dropped
an early game to Temple but picked up
speed shortly thereafter to nip Tennes

Students who have turned so many Carolina games into near
riots are making it plain that they are blind to the meaning of
common courtesy and sportsmanship. They are closing their eyes
to facts that are as plain as the figures on the scoreboard.
Players on the visiting team are students too, not imports for
bear-baiting. They represent an institution like Carolina. They
have the same incentive to fight for a victory that Carolina play
ers have. They are entitled to the same courtesy and respect that
Carolina players receive in Woollen gym.

"Crime in Granada," the tragedy of
the execution of the great Spanish poet,
Frederico Lorca, written by Josephina
Niggli, will be broadcast from the cam
pus studios by the Carolina Playmak
ers of the air this afternoon at 3:30
over the Mutual Broadcasting system.
Adhering to the theme of the series
Men in Action, directed by Earl Wynn
for Mutual's coast-to-coast broadcasts,
the play demonstrates that war leads
to the destruction of great art and the
victors and the vanquished alike suf
fer from the loss.
Two characters in the play, Lorca
and Mejia, are drawn from life, and
the incidents related are true. Lorca
was just a good Spanish poet until the
death of his best friend Mejia, the great
Spanish bullfighter who died in the
ring. Sorrow at this loss moved Lorca
to write a "Lament to Mejia," which
took Spain by storm. Lorca became
almost overnight one of his country's
foremost poets.
During the Spanish civil war peo
ple began to read into his poems ideas
that were not there. The "Lament to
Mejia" became a basis for propaganda
throughout the country. To put a stop
to this rousing of opposition, an un
known Royalist general had Lorca
dragged from his home and shot. The
storm of denunciation that followed
astounded the Royalists and this deed
has remained the biggest blot on their
activities during the Civil War.
A superb dancer and singer as well
as writer, Lorca's death was mourned
the world over. The poetry quoted in
the play was translated by Miss Niggli
from Lorca's poetry and from a poem
written about his death.
