Playmakers to Hit
Peak with 'Peer Gynt'
Outdoor Production
By Nancy Smith .
Combining acting, music, dancing
and scenery to a greater extent than
ever before, the Carolina Playmakers
will present a new translation of "Peer
Gynt," their 24th outdoor production,
in a redesigned Forest theater.
Recently redesigned with tiers of
stone seats, stone light towers and pro
scenium walls, the Forest theater
offers a perfect setting for outdoor
drama. Shakespeare's plays have been
among the most popular ones present
ed. In fact the first outdoor produc
tion to be presented was "The Taming
of the Shrew" given in the year of
1918-19. This play was given before a
matinee audience, since there was no
provision for lighting in the theater.
In contrast to this first production
was the dedicatory performance of
"Romeo and Juliet" given last May
to celebrate the reopening of the re
designed theater.
Twenty-five productions have been
staged, in all of which "Proff" Koch
has served as either director or actor.
Among the plays that have been pro
duced are "The Merry Wives of Wind
sor," "Hamlet," and "The Tempest"
1936 saw a production of Aristo
phanes anti-war play "Lysistrata"
with Playmaker Elizabeth Farrar re
turning from Broadway to play the
title role.
Shaw's "Androcles and the Lion,"
given in 1937, was dedicated to Archi
bald Henderson, official biographer of
the great English dramatist, on the oc
casion of his 60th birthday.
Shepperd Strudwick, now John Shep
pard of the movies, also played in
the productions. He played leading
roles in the "Tempest" and Rostand's
"The .Romancers."

"The student body does not realize
the important things that are happen

Roland B. Parker told the final session
yesterday of the new officers' training
conference at a luncheon meeting in
Lenoir hall.
Parker stated that at last week's im

the government in attendance to an

positions to Bert Bennett and Marsha

In praising the outgoing members of
student government, Parker gave cre

to work long and hard at their tasks,
their capacity for growth as student
government officers, and their cour
age."
Parker went on to enumerate several
of the problems which the incoming
campus officers will be faced with next

need efficient leadership in order to

Democracy N6eds Beauty
In Art, Says Dr. Smith
By Larry Dale
Speaking on "Art: the Discipline of Beauty" last night in Gerrard hall,
Dr. T. V. Smith, professor of Philosophy at the University of Chicago, said
"that beauty is not only one of the ideals of - enlightened men, but like truth,
is an indispensable ideal for democratic citizenship. No measure of truth
could be made to appear worthwhile if a citizenship is doomed to feed upon
ugliness," he said in the second of his
Adler Enters
CWC Race
Richard Adler, chairman of the Car
olina Workshop council, is in the run
ning for reelection and Walter Klein,
nominee for CWC chairmanship, yes
terday resigned from the race to sup
port Adler.
Adler's nomination was announced
yesterday by the CWC nominating com
mittee, with the explanation that Adler
had not been selected earlier because
the committee had not been assured of
Adler's enrollment here next year.
Klein's resignation leaves Adler run

go into effect Monday will begin to
morrow or Saturday.
Candidates now include Adler and
Miss Seeley for chairmanship, Henry
Moll singly nominated for vice-chairman,

This year's Workshop chairman, Ad
ler is one of the founders of the ar
tists' organization. In the event of his
reelection, he plans to organize the en
tire Workshop program for next year
during his summer enrollment. Previ
ously Adler has worked out CWC pro

Hatch Picked
Glee Club Prexy
The University Men's Glee Club, on
the eve of its only out of town engage
ment of the year, chose Hurst Hatch,
campus band leader, as its new presi
dent, and elected two other officers at
yesterday's rehearsal.
Bill Mehaf fey, former president, was
elected as Business Manager to succeed
Clarence Ruff in. Glenn Bogasse re
placed Hurst Hatch as vice-president
as the former officers were shuffled
around to new positions.
The new officers appointed Lee How
ard to replace Hal Kohn as Librarian,
Ray Turrentine to succeed James Ed
wards as Assistant Business Manager,
and Larry Dale to replace Ben Snyder
as Publicity Manager.
Forty members of the club, under
the direction of Clyde Keutzer, will sing
a concert in Burlington tonight climax
ing Music Week sponsored by the Bur
lington public schools.
Since government restrictions on bus
travel prevent bus chartering, Burling
ton citizens will drive to Chapel Hill,
take the club members to Burlington
and bring them back.
The concert is the only one that the
Glee Club will sing out of town this
year. Plans for a South American
tour this summer were abandoned ear
ly this year as the international situa
tion grew more critical. The scheduled
tour which was to include concerts in

Bristol, Tennessee, was cancelled bit

for Democracy."
. His first lecture, delivered Tuesday
night, was entitled "Science: the Dis
cipline of Truth." Tonight's lecture,
the final one of this year's series of
Weil lectures which has been present
ed annually since 1915, will "Poli
tics: the Discipline of Goodness."
Continuing his lecture last night,
Dr. Smith declared, "Beauty does not
grow wild on trees ... it requires a
price. That price is the discipline of
art. This is not less arduous than the
discipline of doubt which through sci
ence mediates truth to men."
Dr. Smith said that truth is worthy
of its price and so is beauty. "Arising
from the same sources as science, art
stretches the imagination up to an ab
normal level of sensitivity. The artist,
looking where other men look, sees
what they do not see: or listening
where others attend, hears what they
do not hear. This requires training,
a training which is painful stretching
of human capacities through discipline
to their highest."
"This discipline of art consists of
two aspects," he declared. "The first
is a mastery of the trick of arresting
the immediate, whether perceptual or
conceptual. The second is mastery of

Cor doily Opera Star, Awqrded
Home Town Hog-Calling Prize
Maybe you think famous opera stars
are starched-up, long-haired, eccentric
old bores.
Not Norman Cordon.
Down home where Cordon lives, Lin
ville, he was picked the best hog-caller
last summer. This group of hog-callers
is an exclusive little assemblage. Full
fledged membership precludes a degree
of social prestige. Norman thought
he'd like to become a member last sum
mer, so a special meeting convened to
pass on his qualifications.
The chairman was skeptical, the
board was doubtful until the great Cor
don bass rolled out across the hills
like artillery fire, startling the cattle'
and driving farmers indoors with the
promise of a storm. Right now there's
no question as to who's the prime hog
beckoner out Linville way.
Norman Cordon Is the Carolina alum
nus who shot to fame in five years of
operatic singing with the Metropolitan
Opera company. He's been signed by
the Student Entertainment committee
to show Carolina students what he's
got, in a recital Monday night.

All to Vote
At 'Y' Desk,
Bennett Says
By Hayden Carruth
Today the last scene of a multiple-act
play will open on the
Carolina stage, when the popular
referendum, generally portrayed
as an "anti-climax," will give fin
al test to the Student legislature's
measure establishing a combina
tion magazine.
Bert Bennett, newly elected
president of the student body, will
officiate at the referendum as his first
official duty. Only one poll will be
open today, by arrangement with Ben
McKinnon, head of the forces opposing
combination, Bennett announced. The
YMCA will be the location of one poll
ing place, open from 9 until 5 o'clock,
where all students may vote, no matter
what their usual precinct.
Long Story
The combination movement, culmi
nating in final decision today, has suf
fered a tortuous history. Originating
in publications circles and fostered by
Henry Moll, recently resigned editor
of the Carolina Magazine, the idea
spread to campus proportions and went
before the legislature with a bill
framed by Louis Harris and the Ways
and1 Cleans committe 2.
McKinnon announced his intention
of petitioning for referendum immedi
ately after the legislature session. Af
ter obtaining sufficient signatures he
withdrew the petition and reinstated
it once again in twenty-four hours. It
finally went before student government
officials at the first meeting of the
new officers training school Tuesday.
Bennett pointed out yesterday that
a majority of the enrolled students, or
somewhat more than 1,700 students,
must vote at the referendum polls to
