For tonight at 8 o clock m Memorial Hall Sound and Fury will turn back the pages of time and give students an inside view on the way their parents laughed, loved and lived when they were in college. The love will be taken care of by Bill Rogers and Wilma Jones, who will play the part of the romantic couple. Jane Milligan and Jim Mills wil handle the laughs, and anyone who knows Mills knows that laughs is a mild word, if he has anything to do with it. The show, which has five acts, will give a running account of college life during the last 50 years. The four leads will be in each act, but will remain at the college age no matter what per iod the act concerns. Each act will be about a different ten-year period. In addition to the chorus sing ing, dancing and acting there will be several specialty num bers by people who arc well known entertainers not only on the campus but throughout the state. Mary Jo McLean, graduate en tertainment director of Graham Memorial, and popular dancer, will do a specialty dance num ber. Those who like her may want to join her tap dancing classes which she conducts in the Rendezvous Room four after noons a week. Barber shop quartet singing will be done by the Harmonccrs. winners of the Horace Hcidt Talent Show in Raleigh last Thanksgiving. Composed of Lan-. ier Davis, Dick Smith, Jack Clin- ard and Milton Bliss, the quartet has given performances all over the .state. Abo contributing to the sing ins will be Jack Prince, who will warble a few old-time ballads. The show was written by the Sound iind Fury scriptwriting team. Tickets will be on sale at the door toni.uht and in the Y to morrow. All members of the cast will abo sell tickets. "'50 Grand'" is as close to the pie-war shows that Sound and r'lity used to give as any we I i'ive divert in the Inst few years," l' iblicity Chairman Vestel Tay lor said.

One Out Of Four Has Automobile Elis Give Interesting Answers To Poll On Yale Problems, Scholarships, Sex Sprriat in The Daily Tar Heel NEW HAVEN, Conn., Feb. 23 Virgins. and other forms of sex provoked some interesting an swers on a request qucstionaire answered by Yale men. In a survey conducted by the yearbook, The Banner, more than 1,200 Elis put down answers to; questions ranging from athletic scholarships to Dr. Kinsey, Jr. Oply four of the 33 querries pertained to sex, but they wrought the most interesting an- i swers. Forty-nine per cent of the Con necticut boys replied yes to the question of whether they had had sexual intercourse. The other 51 per cent answered in the neg ative. "Would you marry a girl who you knew was not a virgin?" A good strong 65 per cent said yes with only eight per cent defi nitely against it. Twenty-srvcn per cent had "to think it over." Of the 49 per cent whose know ledge of sex extended to inter course, only 40 per cent, or 19.6 of the total, admitted indulging more than once or twice. The re maining 60 per cent agreed it wasn't habit-forming. The final question: "Would you prefer to marry a girl with whom you have had sexual intercourse experimentation?" This brought the greatest variance in opinion, with 22 per cent saying yes, 45 per cent no, and 33 per cent hedging. Steering away from sex, other points of interest included the fact that only one out of four Elis has a car, although more than half come from families having incomes in excess of $10, 000 a year. Fifty per cent of the Yale stu dents polled were opposed to athletic scholarships in any form, while 38 per cent would sanction them "if other Ivy League schools gave them." was president of the statc Litera ry and Historical Association.

Dukes Slate GM Concert For Tonight Hillbilly music will echo from Graham Memorial tonight when Jeeny and Jimmy Duke and Wanda Saylor present a concert in the main lounge at 3:30. Billed as "The Dukes of Caro lina" the trio will present many of the numbers that they have made popular at such places on campus as the Vet's Club and at private parties. Although Jeeny and Jimmy have already cntetamed fre quently on the campus, this is Wanda's first program here. Be fore Jeeny was married, the two sisters often performed together. Lately, however, they have been unable to combine their talents. Wanda is now a featured en tertainer over radio station WTIK in Durham, and Jeeny form a musical team with her husband. Tonight Jimmy will be featur ed on the bass, Jenny will play the guitar and Wanda will play the accordian. The program will contain popular music as well as hillbilly selections. In his many years of touring i throughout the United States, Europe, and the Orient as a dis tinguished concert pianist, Ar thur Loesser has had at least one . experience which should condition him, the Student En tertainment Com mi tie thinks, to face an unpredictable student audience here at the university next Thursday evening at 8 o' clock in Memorial Hall. Loesser, it seems, once play ed right through a monsoon on the Philippine Islands. That novel recital when Loesser as sisted violinist Miseha Elman many years ago in Manila al ways gets the pianist's nod un hesitatingly as the worst con cert in which he ever partici pated. " " ' .:V" ' "Our series," Loesser explains, "had been scheduled, most in appropriately, for the month of May, the , hottest season of the year. A cumulation of torrid sultry moisture tilled the air and made life altogether un pleasant. "For some reason we were made t play in a miserable semi-decayed structure known as the Zorilla Theater.
