The author, Dr. Michihiko Hachi ya, was and still is director of the Hiroshima Communications Hospi tal, located only about 1500 meters from the hypocenter of the bomb's explosion. His detailed description of tho bombing and the weeks following has been translated by Dr. War ner L. Wells, who is now, on the surgical staff at N. C. Memorial Hospital at Chapel Hill and assis tant professor of surgery at the UNC Medical School. , Dr. Hachiya and Dr. Wells be came close friends when Wells went to Hiroshima early in 1950 as surgical consultant to the Atomic nearer, for all back-stage personnel. The first was No Smoking It wasn't so much the fire hazard that caused the ruling, but rather be cause smoky atmosphere cuts down the effectiveness of the lighting. The other rule banned Coke bot tles. It seems that Director jur gensen was in a show once when someone stepped on a bottle back stage and broke a leg.

Along with advice . from Dr; Hachiya, Dr. Wells received aid :n translation- from Dr. Nea! Tsuki fuji, Japanese-American colleague there. Dr. Hachiya began his diary soon after the blast, though severely wounded, writing upon scraps of paper an account of what he saw, heard and did. As a physician, he recorded the physical effects of the explosion initial shock, momenta ry recovery, later radiation sick ness and panic as well as the ov erall reaction to disaster. , When American occupation for ces arrived, Dr. Hachiya discontin ued his diary, putting it aside un til 1950 when it was published se- ! rially in a periodical issued by the Japanese Ministry of Communica tions. - As opening night drew two rules were laid down .: GREEK WEEK will start soon on the Carolina campus, with work replacing old-fashioned 'Hell Week . . .

By Wednesday night, though, all the sets were in use, most mem bers of the cast were in full cos tume, some were in make-up. and the stage came alive with color Neatly-stacked flats and furni ture, ropes and wires criss-crossing everywhere and work -lights cov ered with tin-foil appeared back stage. ' The light crew was going through its handle-pulling paces with pre cision. Varying color combinations from the lights modified the al ready vivid costumes and sets. Probably the most difficult part of the back-stage work will be the stage crew's job of changing the sets in a black-out so. complete that even the work-lights are out. OUT FRONT A new sound was added to the j production Tuesday night the or chestra arrived. This orchestra has no official name. It's a group of 20 professional musicians assembled and directed by Dr. Mason." At first, they had a little trouble try-r ing to drown, out the chorus,- bu the situation improved with , prac tice. :- ' - ; -- -The next night, however, the orchestra wasn't there---just a pi ano. And the principals weren't singing. A late-comer to the Latej Rehearsal -Watchers Society asked how come and was told that the soloists were saving their" voices The Late Watcher was disgrunt led. , ' ; . 1 SMALL'S LARGE VOICE There was one voice in the cast; however, that both the orchestra and the chorus together could not overpower. Paradoxically, the name of the voice's owner is Dave Small. . Small is a freshman who in IS years has developed a voice with all the power and range necessary to sing Old Man River. Small is a native of Morehead City, where he sang for the Beau fort Choral Club, his high school Glee Club and a chorus choir. He calls Show Boat his "first real venture in show business." At present, Small is undecided betwen research physical chem istry and show business as a future career, but he says he ought to know by next year. ACCENT ON ACTING With the singing and music down pat, the accent was placed on act ing. The play was run through with the directors taking notes. Then came the autopsy. With attention to the constant minutiae, first one director and then another made comments to the cast. These were often humorous. At one point, Suzanne Elliot, who plays Julie, was having a little Trouble with a line thftt read, "Love's a funny thing; there's no sense to it." "Stop mouthing your words." said Jurgensen. "Sounded like "There's no sex to it.' " THIS IS IT Tonights the night. At 8:30 this evening, the cur tain will go up, and four weeks of work will be displayed to a oacked house. How the cast and the crews fee1 about opening night is best knowr to themselves: how the show will be received is yet to be decided In all previous press releases or Show Boat, even in the published "ast lisfln?. there has been one faring omission. Syd Litwack,-who has the largest speaking part in the whole show, was never men tioned. Canadian-born Litwack, recent ly of Los Angeles, is a draftsman in the University Engineer's Of fice. He is an actor by preference and has had considerable exper ience in this field - on the west coast. He received his M.A. in Dramatic Arts here last June. Litwack described Captain Andy whose part he will be playing thir evening, as "a choice prime mix ture of a number of sympatheti traits. If he were alive, he woulr" be a must on everybody's know list." "I'm in- this show because I likr the part and I like the direction," added Litwack. Litwack is also the only mem ber of the cast to become a father while the show has been in pro gress. On February 12, he became the father of a girl, Suzanne Erent. Sfudenl mi ! - I w v . YWCA'S MRS.

Student Art Work Well Received in New York "The recent New York showing of paintings, sculptures, water co lors and drawings by arts students from the University of North Car olina at Chapel Hill has been re ported to have been well and ac tively received t by gallery-goers and patrons,'.' Kenneth Ness, of the University Art faculty, said here yesterday. Ness, acting head of the Depart ment during Chairman John V. Allcott's leave, said that Robert D. Kaufmann, owner and director of the Forum Gallery, has described the exhibit as "one of the best we have had for high quality work and equally high originality of ex pression."

Huntley, Lenoir and Gaffney, S. C, fidated By ure Group at Brumfield Calls Newspaper yThe Second Daily Worker' By NEIL BASS The student Legislature, in a sparsely populated scvion last night, amid statements o "second Daily Worker" by Lew is Brumfield (SP), and comments by other Legislators voted to set up a six man committee to "investigate the quality and circuation problems of The Daily Tar Heel.' The meeting, attended by 29 of the total J7 legislators, was proceeding without event until Charles Hyatt (SP) assumed the rostrum and exclaimed that "qua! ity" was lacking on The Daily Tar Heel, and that "something ought to be done about it or the' paper done away with." Larry McliUroy (SP) added his opinion to the rein by saying 'something should be done to bring the Tar Heel down from the olym pian clouds of pseudo-intellectual-ism to which Mr. Kuralt has led it to." McElroy continued his blast by saying, "Kuralt's references to the business school, which is one of the finest in . the South," are unexcusable "swipes." Frank Warren (SP) threw his words into the lot by calling Charles Kuralt, editor, and Fred Powledge .managing editor, "lazy" and "not doing a good job." War ren, speaker of the Philanthropic Assembly, offered a solution to what he called a drastic "need of help and a "poor coverage" of stu dent activities by suggesting that the Tar Heel "put an advertise ment on the front page saying that 'we need staff.' " When Lewis Brumfield (SP) got a chance to assume the rostrum, he... giving the . niost extreme atti- tude of the night, said, "Kuralt should not impose his liberal be liefs on the student?. The paper should be more personal and get down to the students." Ending his speech, during which he called the Tar Heel a "second Daily Worker," he defined it as a "professional piece of journalism." Norwood Bryan (SP) offered a solution to the "problem" with the remark that "if the salaries of the staff were cut and people worked for the love of the paper," there might be an improvement. Jim Turner, chairman of the Publications Board commented on the legislators action with "I'm glad the Legislature has recognized these things that we have been working on all year." Tom Lam beth, also a member of the Board said that he "knew of no such ac tion." Jack Stevens, floor leader of the University Party, said after the meeting that WI am heartily op posed to the action- and feel that the Legislature has acted hastily." The student Constitution of the University states that "Neither the Publications Board nor the stu dent Legislature shall exercise any control over the editor and chiefs of the various publications." drawings, and Ed Higgins, Gaffney S.
