Comedy Here Wednesday
Wearily returned from a buying spree, carrying everything but what he
needs, is Art Golby pictured below in one of the hilarious scenes from "George
Washington Slept Here," which opens a four-night run in the Playmaker
theater Wednesday night.
Art Golby, called "the radical playwright" in dramatic circles, undertakes
a different type of role as Newton Fuller, city-bred child of nature who cli
maxes his rural exuberance by reciting
"only God can make a tree."
Since his Playmaker debut last year
in "Love's Old Sweet Song," Golby has
appeared in all major productions on
the campus and was with Paul Green's
"Lost Colony" in Manteo last summer.
Playgoing audiences will remember
him in this season's productions, "The
Male Animal," "Abe Lincoln in Illi
nois," and "Behold, the Brethren." Ac
tive in radio series, Golby originated
the University round table and is now
, a sports commentator.
The characters of the coming show,
under the direction of Earl Wynn, ex
pressed no particular disappointment
when they learned that Benedict Ar-
nold instead of George Washington
really "Slept Here. They remember
there is one born every minute and
polish their laughter-born lines with
which to delight their audiences next
week.
Rehearsals were transferred to Me
morial hall for the duration of the
drama festival and there the Play
makers gaily plot their mischief. Last
night found a storm"brewing in Me
morial hall, but director Wynn ex
plained "it is just another trick effect."
Kaufman and Hart, New York play
wright's extraordinary of the Broad
way sector, are the authors of this,
the latest Carolina production. A long
string of hits unexcelled by any has
flowed from the pen of these versatile
gentlemen, not the least of which is
the recent sell-out comedy, "The Man
Who Came to Dinner." Already the
Playmaker production of this play has
been heralded as one of the best that
the local group has presented.

Carolina's Sixth
Radio Spot Today
The university concert band under
the direction of Earl Slocum will pre
sent the sixth of the music depart
ment's series for Mutual this after
noon at 3:30 from Hill hall.
Playing "The Bells of St. Mary's
by Adams, "The Teddy Bear's Picnic
by Bratton, an overture entitled "Pax
et Labor" by Gabriel Pares, and sev
eral marches, the band presents its sec
ond program of this year's series for
Mutual, heard locally through WRAL.
The series which started in the last
week of March this year is the first
which the music department has pre
sented over the Mutual system. For
two years previously state and locaJ
broadcasts have been produced, Her
bert Livingston, Radio Chairman of the
department explained. This fall a list
was submitted to Mutual in New York
showing the type of programs which
the department had produced. On the
strength of these former programs time
was granted and the series arranged
First program presented, was by the
University band. The second was a
program of Hunter Johnson's compo
sitions. At the third the series hit
a snag when William Klenz was draft
ed and the program was switched from
a Brahms', trio to Brahms' "Clarinet
Sonata" Glen Haydon, William Gant,
Clyde Keutzer, and Herbert Living
ston performing. Following the broad
cast by the Men's Glee Club under the
direction of Clyde Keutzer, the fifth
program was also disrupted by the ab
sence of Mr. Klenz who was to have
played "A Cello Sonata" by Beethoven.
Ester Pierce, cellist, and members of
the chamber music class formerly di
rected by Mr. Klenz replaced him.
Two more programs of the series
scheduled for the next few weeks have
been altered because of Klenz's joining
the service. The imminence of the

For Yesterday

Daily Tar HeeL Lane Stokes is the
University Party nominee for soph
omore representative to the Student
Council.
The formation of a Cooperative coun
cil, comparable to the Interfraternity
and Interdormitory councils, to for
ward the cause of cooperatives at Car
olina, was announced yesterday by
Dan Martin, manager of the Carolina
cooperative house.
Composed of the "only two co-op
movements that can be truly qualified
as such on the campus," the council
will include representatives of the
Carolina cooperative, first University
effort to be successful, and of the Li
brary cooperative, a newly . formed
group of self-help students at the Li
brary. Martin and Croom will repre
sent the Carolina cooperative, and
James Schipper and Don Willard will
be included from the Library group.
Fourfold Program
Martin listed four aims that the
council will strive to effect. Coopera
tive education will be one of the main
objectives. The introduction of litera
ture, motion pictures, etc., that will
aid in the dissemination of a true
knowledge of the working principles
of cooperative living will be the out
standing function. N
The coordination of cooperative ac
tivity, "such as joint buying and joint
entertainment," will be another plank

Fraternities,
Dorms Join
For Conference
Main feature of the Religious con
ference starting Sunday at the Uni
versity is the establishment of men
an women's dorm and fraternity dis
cussion groups for the purpose of stu
dent consideration of religious prob
lems with persons experienced in that
field.
Originally it was planned for every
dorm to have a discussion, by itself,
but alterations for the naval air cadets
upset the program. Instead the wom
en's dorms, with their large social
halls, are each inviting two men's
dorms each to join in the forum, each
having a man and woman leader. The
house committees in the men's dorms
will extend the women's invitations to
their dorm and conduct their fellow
dorm members to the proper women's
dorm.
Fraternities Continue
All men's fraternities will carry on
as planned, with each fraternity in
viting a guest leader, not yet announc
ed. Their forums will be on Tuesday
evening at 9 o'clock and Wednesday
evening at 7 o'clock.

Being the daughter of a well-known
