Worthy
of Praise . . .
Early this summer we wrote an editorial bemoaning the lack
of student entertainment on the campus for the summer school
stucfents and commending Graham Memorial Student Union for
the.way in which it, under the leadership of Miss Martha Rice,
director, was attempting to remedy the situation within the
bounds of a limited budget.
Since that time, the Graham Memorial staff has done an ex
cellent job in providing easily-accessible and entertaining recrea
tion for Carolina students this summer.
Frederic Balazs' violin concert Thursday evening was the
latest entertainment sponsored by Graham Memorial, and the
large turnout that listened to his excellent performance in the
hot auditorium proves that students appreciate good entertain
ment. Gertrude Hopkins, harpist, was presented last session,
and the Deep River Singers will appear here tomorrow night.
The presentation of all these excellent performers is ample evi
dence of what can be done in the way of securing high class
entertainment for the student body.
On the less formal side, Graham Memorial is carrying "on
numerous functions daily, all of which are aimed at adding to
the students' pieasure. Such things as the bridge tournament,
the Sunday evening concerts are all worth-while activities, while
the Saturday night Y hop has become one of the social high
lights of the summer session.
The Candlelight Room in Graham Memorial is adding im
provements daily and furnishes a cozy, quiet place to dance and
party without putting too much weight on one's pocketbook.
Free floor shows and refreshments every Friday night make
for a pleasant evening.
The latest idea to come out of the industrious Graham Memo
rial office is one that involves a daily broadcast of recorded
music from the roof of Graham Memorial building, sponsored
by the Graham Memorial Candlelight Room. Music and bits of
useful information will be aired from one to two o'clock each
afternoon.
With an active, wide-awake director and staff such as that
functioning in Graham Memorial, the entertainment worries
that confronted students at the beginning of summer are fast
disappearing.
For which we owe Miss Rice and her staff a vote of thanks.
Conflicting Statements
It seems to us that the current discussions about the construc
tion of new dormitories and increased rents often tend towards
confusion.
To begin with, at the student meeting held two weeks ago,
Chancellor House stated an increase in rents would be forth
coming eventually, whether or not the rents were raised imme
diately. The following week-end, Governor R. Gregg Cherry
went on record that no increase would be made in dormitory
rents.
At the same meeting, the governor claimed a lacTc of building
materials was the real drawback to the dormitory construction
and not finances.
Yet this week a contract totalling $999,118 was awarded to
Thompson and Street, Charlotte contractors, for construction
of three dormitories here at the University. A spokesman for
the constructors said construction would begin at once. Similar
construction is already underway at State College in Raleigh.
This would seem to indicate that the building materials are
available.
We aren't drawing any definite conclusion from these state
ments and facts. Yet, it does seem to us that more money
would build more dormitories and if it is not a problem of
money, why not build more dormitories?
This is merely a questionable "I'm from Missouri" approach
to the subject, but we do believe a concrete, clarified statement
of the situation ought to be forthcoming, rather than a con
glomeration of conflicting comment from various sources.

Today's Question
What do you consider, the three
best features of this University?
The Answers
I have always liked friendliness
among peoples of different states and
one is sure to find it here. This is one
of the most liberal universities in the
country and one develops a great
deal of individual responsibility. I
think 'that the sports program is one
of the finest of any school in the na
tion. Herschell Snuggs. Winston-Salem.
I consider of primary importance
the fact that the University has ac
cepted its responsibility in encourag
ing and allowing the returning vet
erans to continue their interrupted
education. The excellent facilities for
both sports and studies which are
easily accessable are not to be over
looked. The prevailing democratic
relationship between the University
students and the faculty is definitely
a commendable feature. Clayton
Eley, Jr., Norfolk, Va.
Only those who have attended col
leges where the honor code does not
prevail can appreciate the great bene
fits to students and the faculty alike
of this fine system. Informality of
manner and dress both in and out of
the classroom fosters a genuine feel
ing of kindred spirit among the stu
dents themselves and promotes more
interesting classroom lectures and dis
cussions. I like the proximity to
Washington, D. C. (My girl lives
there.) John Clayton, Wash., D. C.
I think the low tuition rates for
veteran's wives is an excellent feature.
For the most part the professors here
are very good and of a very high cali
bre. The great amount of freedom
granted to students does much in pre
paring them for future life. Jayne
White, Pittsburgh, Pa.
This University is very liberal and
we don't have to tell where we are
going at night and with whom we
are going. The arboretum is a lovely
thing the year round and is a nice
place to stroll through (if you can
get through without stepping on some
one). The friendly air here among
students make a newcomer feel wel
come from the very beginning. Chris
Tunstall, Apex.
I consider the most important fea
ture of this, a Southern university,
to be its liberal tendency. Then too,
I put in a plug for the phys. ed. dept.
by listing the sports facilities here
as one of the outstanding features.
This is true both of opportunity for
active and spectator sports. Of course
one of the best features of this uni
versity, so far as I am conserned, is
that it was here that I finally man
aged to "hook" my husband, and oth
er girls have had the same luck. Les
lie Casey, Goldsboro.

with the system or with Student
Judges who will not forget political

can be easily untied by an amendment

(Ed. Note: With this issue we
resume an old Tar Heel column in
which the author is given the wid

Word seeps down to the 'hill from
the Rialto that Carolina's famous and
favorite literary fisrure, Thomas
Wolfe, will be represented on Broad
way next season, with a presentation
of "Mannerhouse." This is supposed
to be Wolfe's unpublished play and
is only to be detected by a carefu
reading of "Of Time and the River.
Rudolph Joseph is set to produce it
and arrangements are now being com
pleted for obtaining directorial serv
ices, casting, etc., etc. The play, by
the way, is set in the deep South dur
ing the Civil War period.
Incidental Intelligence: T. W. is
supposed to have lost the original
manuscript of the play on his trip
to Paris, and they say he rewrote
it from memory on his return to
Uncle Sugar Able. If the plans go
through, this production will rank
as one of the major events of the
coming Broadway season; along
with Jose Ferarr's presentation of
Cyrano de Bergerac.
A doff of me topper to young violin
ist Frederic Balazs for his excellent
performance Thursday night. How
ever, it would have been even bet
ter if his program had been cut by
at least one third. About fifteen per
cent of the original audience failed
to return after the intermission, and
only about fifty percent was left to
bear the final portion of the program
I don't think the exodus was a reflec
tion of Balazs' ability, but rather the
length of his program plus the uncom
fortable heat in Hill Hall, which made
it extremely uncomfortable to sit
through.
Noticed a likker bottle on the
lawn out in front of Graham Me
morial yesterday afternoon. Gosh,
guys and gals, I'll quaff an egg nog"
or two with the best of ya; but I
can't see this tossing of empty bot
tles around indiscriminately with a
months. Call it a Preview of Com
say the least, it shows fiarned poor
breeding.
That's about all for today, except
that if you've got anything you want
to get off your chest and are too shy
to write a formal letter to the DTH
about it; drop a note to RSH Box 841,
and I'll be glad to air your gripe, com
ment on your opinion, or pat a deserv
ing person on the back. R.S.H.
DTH Masic Review
Fine Tone Quality Displayed
By Balazs in Violin Concert
By R. H. Hamilton
Combining the traditional violin concert pieces, and the more popular se
lections which are familiar to the followers of Kostelanetz, young violinist
Frederic Balazs succeeded in presenting a pleasing violin concert in Graham
Memorial's initial student entertainment offering of the second summer ses
sion Thursday night, in Hall Hall. .
Presenting a program of 10 selections, however, proved to be too lengthy
a program for the summer audience. In spite of the heat and the restlessness
of the audience, Balazs' work showed a fine tone quality, excellent bowing

This is the time of the year when
the motion) picture salesman dons his
nattiest Glen Urqhart plaid, fixes an
agreeable but toothy grin on his kiss
er and sets out on the road, armed
with a pocketful of two-f or-a-nickel
stogies, to sell his company's product
to theaters throughout the several
states.
The guy can lavish so many encon
iums on his company, its films and
stars that to listen to him you would
think that Pius XII was in error and
that Zanuck should have been the
first American saint after all. Be
fore you can say "Trigger, the Smart
est Horse in the Movies," the salesman
is brandishing his under water pen
like it's a fencing foil and with his
other hand is shuffling a sheaf of pa
pers which, reading from left to right,
spell CONTRACT.
Because we, who spend our hard
earned green to see the pictures,
are unable to witness the film sales
man in action, it behooves" me to
run over briefly in this column,
company by company, the Holly

20th Century-Fox: This studio has

stellar attraction being "Centennial

the citizens of the City of Brotherly
Love forget the heat and the scarcity
of good bourbon. "Summer" boasts
Jeanne Crain, Cornel Wilde, Linda
Darnell, William Eythe and Constance
Bennett all looking pretty for the
people in Technicolor.
Slated for early release: "Claudia
and David," with Dorothy McGuire
and Robert Young romping through
the trials and tribs on the marital
front; "Three Little Girls in Blue,"
a Technicolor musical which should
bolster flagging masculine morale
with the feminity of June Haver,
Vivian Blaine, Celeste Holm and Vera-
Ellen.
MGM: "The Yearling," when this
is shown even the editor of "Outdoor
Life" will not be dry-eyed. Gregory
Peck stars in this yarn of the life
and death of a deer.
"Till the Clouds Roll By," anoth

features every one on the Metro lot
but the gate-keeper. Johnson -Home
- Allyson - Garland - Shore
Sinatra - Walker et al are all per
forming for us lucky mortals.
"Holiday in Mexico," a pot-pourri
which claims the divergent talents of
Walter Pidgeon, Jose Iturbi, Roddy
McDowall and Illona Massey. The
only thing lacking is a dream se
quence with Greer Garson.

and an extremely light touch on his
instrument. Handel's Larghetto,
which was the opening number on the
program was rather thin in tonal
quality; but once over this piece the
concert steadily improved with a
Rondo of Mozart's; and reached a
high point with the presentation of
Mendelssohn's Concerto in E Minor.
The rendition of the Concerto, which
is recognized by many critics as the
most perfect selection for the violin,
was particularly rewarding and
earned Balazs the loudest applause of
the evening.
Turning from piano accompaniment
for the second part of his program,
Balazs presented the Chaconne from
Bach's Sonata in D Minor and three
Paganini 'pieces, "The Devil's Laugh
ter," "Voice of the Woods," and a
"Theme with Variations." All of these
were particularly well done and re
flected the violinist's keen apprecia
tion of, and interest in, tTTe Italian
composer.
Facing a post intermission audi
ence which the heat had thinned out,
in shirt sleeves, Balazs presented the
popular Clair de Lune by Debussy.
It marked the first time that many
in the audience heard this piece per
formed on the violin and it was well
received). "Spanish Dance" by de
Falla, "Berceuse" by Stravinsky
(from which the music for the mo
tion picture "Spellbound" was adopt
ed), "Flight of the Bumble Bee" and
"Tambourin Chinois" by Kreisler
completed the third part of the pro
gram.
Substituting Shubert's "Ave Maria"
for two lengthier pieces, in the in
terest of shortening the program,
concluded the regular portion of the
concert. Always popular, the piece
was rendered more so by the fine
rendition of the young Hungarian. As
his encore, Balazs chose "Liebe Freu,"
popular, light piece which was
more in keeping with the summer
weather than some of the more clas-
