Yet the trend does seem to point to the fact that fewer and fewer students are taking an active part in campus activities today. The campus elections are a good,example of this. In each election there are a proportionately smaller number of candidates for the nominations than previously. It seems that only a handfull of students are really running the show. Perhaps the extra-curricular aspect is emphasised overly However, if one can take the word of John Harden, public relations director for giant Burlington Mills, the business- man today is paying close attention to the number of activi ties outside of class in which prospective employees have participated. They consider that the student who gets out and works for his school and fellow students has just a little extra initiative which the other applicants lack. It is indeed a true test of the applicant's industry by examining his rec ord to see if he spent his afternoons and evenings either wrapped up totally in study or just loafing. After several false starts. Sound and Fury has at last gotten Underway with their new show, and it promises io be a honey. The script writ ing team wrapped up the book for the production last week and the cast was chosen earlier 'this week.

H added that probably only three out of every hundred graduates from Caro lina would be really successful in business. These three will be the ones who dsplayed that extra-initiative in their col lege work. ';;-' ; - : ... s : Personality, another very vital factor in gaining employ ment today, also can be best developed through associations made in college. It is impossible to make these contacts by confining one's activities -entirely to one field, or even worse to no field at all. Student government, publications, and the countless other campus extra-curricular organizations can well stand new recruits. You are the benefactor by participating in these activities. . Technique of Tact We always have said that if you want your son to learn the technique and usage of tact, then send him to college -preferably to the Carolina campus. There are probably thous ands of illustrations that we might state to corroborate this belief, but there is one that seems to rate priority over all the rest-and, without revealing identities, here it is One diplomatic student, finding that his diplomacy stack ed up better than his test average, decided to see the profes sor after class and discuss certain pertinent questions-which would give him an opportunity to exhibit his aforemen tioned personality trait. Everything went well until the dis cussion finally came around to the race problem; and from here on, things started popping. Both professor and "student started off slow threw it in second gear, and the only 'thing that averted a head-on collision was an abrupt and far from diplomatic halt. A halt and a withdrwal-from the room' Its like we said: if you want to learn the art of tact attend Carolina. Even if you don't have the quality now, it's about ten to ten that the situation will arise in. which you'll get a chance to use if if you will! jg More on Class Spirit wJ.hCre WaS.u time at Carlina Wher the clas officers were among the most important persons on campus. Class organizations were strong and spirit and pride in one's class ere high, particularly in the Senior Class. Howvere, some how dunnp thp war . i... ' e ln.t c7 j V, ueiore, me old class unity lost out. Student Government far eclipsed the class organi zations in power. This, plus the fact that during the war stu dents were entering and leaving Carolina at the beginning and end of each quarter rather than at the end of the year m aown tne unity of the class. The Senior Class officers this year, however, are showing Those who were disturbed by a column appearing earlier this season under the above byline may be relieved to learn that the hatchet has been buried be tween Sound and Fury and the Phi Mu Alpha Music Fraterni ty, their disagreement over the settlement of the "Beggar's Opera", debt. Thank Goodness. Wheels are rolling toward the production of Mike Ca sey's full length "Angels Full Front." This, as you may re call, is to be the fourth major production by the 'Playmak- ; ers for this season. Produc tion dates are set for Feb. 28 thru March 5 and the show will be one of the best to be seen here this year. The D.A. Dept. feels a little hacked over the royalties they were obliged to pay Samuel French for the privilege of pro ducing the work of one of their own students. We can appreci ate how this might make some of the powers feel a trifle awk ward, but we feel that it is a tribute to the quality of Casey's, work, while still a young man. For those of von whn missed Joe . Siockdale's ex perimental, we can only say that you missed the finest production " in this catagory since the end of the war. With just a little polish, this could very easily merit bill ing as a major production in any community theatre. Not only did the "plot flow smoothly,' but the story was proof that down to earth folks make good subject matter-not at all in the Caldwell or Faulkner manner, but as the town bum or the family around the corner in any small town. The roles called for the actors to demonstrate weak ness and strength, pathos and humor, and some highly emo tional, scenes. This, in short, was a work that any neo phyte playwright might well be proud of.

This V year their plans call for even greater things to be accomplished. This as you may or may not know is the summer theatre project at Burnsville, N. C. above Ashe ville. The administration of the project falls more directly on the shoulders of the dramatists from W. C, and it is a project corresponding to the Lost Colo ny administered by the local D. A. majors. To The Editor Editor: POWER Those of -us who have been here for several years are daily reminded of the power of th EDITORIALS of the TAR HEEL each time we pass the traffic lights at the Post Office corner ard remember the howl, that the T. H. put up until said light was installed. Now you have embarked upon a "smear campaign" against a campus policeman. I just wonder what value the editorial space would have received if .it had been used to try to securer big parking lot to the east of the Bell Tower among the trees? J "At first, Miss Hurlbert says no,- thanks, but when she sees that Mr. Burke is a very nice young man, she says he can 't bring his drink over and they will talk about it.-And the next ; thing, he is tasting her papri-. kash and she is tasting his goulash. wnen they finished din ner, Mr. Burke orders brandy in the big snifter glasses and they discuss what they will do that night. Miss Hurlbert says she would first like to see the French ballet at the Winter Garden, and then maybe a drink at the '21' club.. Mr. Burke says that sounds fine, but after the drink why not go to the Co pacabana and see Jimmy Du rante. The girl says she loves Jimmy. "At eight-thirty, Mr. Burke says they better get going, but . the says there is no rush the ' ballet she wants to see most, 'Carmen,' does not go on until almost ten. So he orders some more brandy, and by the time the check is paid it is nearly eleven. "Then Miss Hurlbert asks the young man to go out and get a cab. And while he is gone she slips out the side door." "Why did she ditch him?" I asked. "I'm not sure." said Joseph, "but this is how I figure. This ' Miss Hurlbert is paralyzed in the legs, and when she walks she uses a brace and cane. At first, when the gentleman acted . so nice, she couldn't help making believe that everything was all right, and for once she was going to ; have the kind of evening she ' has been thinking of for a long time. But then she real -. ized it couldn't be-l-that when' she stood up, Mr. Burke would see she was lame." ir'If the young man was as nice as you say, I'm sure he -wouldn't have backed out," I said. Time has come to the Ren dezvous Room and TIME has passed'. A newN- electric clock has replaced the old time piece that occupied the space over the mantle.
