ENFIELD, TENNIS
ACH, IMPRESSED
Ciicago Professional Takes Up
Duties Here on Tennis Court;
Lauds Advantages Offered.
J.-F. Kenfield, Chicago profession
al at Lake Shore Country Club of
Glencoe,.vhas accepted the position as
tennis coach here, and finds the most
promising situation he has ever seen
for tennis at college or university,
he says. "Carolina has the most and
bost facilities for tennis of any uni
versity I have visited," says the new
coach. "As to material for a team, I
am well pleased with the showing the
boys have made since I have had the
opportunity of being here." The new
coach came Friday and, has been at
the courts since, showing the boys
new .methods in serving. He declares
that the captain, C. E. Wadell, has
the makings of an excellent tennis
player. The new coach spent most
of the afternoon putting some new
form into Covington and Cone.
Several years ago,' before he be
came a professional, Kenfield went to
tke finals in the National Amateur
Clay Court tourney. He knows the
tennis game from A to Z. He was
surprised to' find so many boys at
Carolina taking such - an interest in
the game.- He declared that the
freshmen, had some very promising
material for a team. He will not re
strict his coaching to the Varsity and
freshman squads, but will coach all
those who want to know more about
tennis. The coach has a very pleas
ing personality, and will bex very
glad to instruct anyone who desires
to spend time at the courts.
The coach commented at length on
the wonderful courts here. He had
not expected to find such excellent fa
cilities, he declared. He will spend
some time re-arranging the courts
and improving the varsity court
which he- hopes to make one of the
finest in the south. At other univer
sities, he says, it is difficult to find
more than twenty courts, and" that
iaany is considered doing well. Here
he found forty courts and is not
through rejoicing yet.

A. McQueen Suddenly
Goes Blind in Room
Member of Senior Class Rushed
to McPherson Hospital;. Con
dition Is Serious.
A. McQueen, senior at the Univer
sity from Mallette, suddenly went
blind about 1:20 o'clock last Friday
night after he went to his room from
working in a local cafe.
He left the cafe about 12 o'clock
and went to his room to study. When
he suddenly lost his sight, he asked
his roommate to turn "the lights on
again. His roommate rushed to his
aid and summoned help to take him
to the infirmary. He was sent to
the McPherson's hospital in Durham.
Reports late Monday afternoon
stated that his condition was some
what improved, though considered
very serious. The doctors had not as
certained the reason for the attack
of blindness late yesterday. -
m BEAT OLD
INERS 15 TO 3
IN FIRST GAME
Carolina Men Function Well at
Bat and Easily Take First of
Two Game Series.
Well-placed hits featured the open
ing baseball game on Emerson field
yesterday in which the Tar Heel nine
swamped Marylands ball club 15 to 3
in the first of a two-game series here.
The Carolina team hit hard and often,
but it was not their hitting alone that
accounted for the win yesterday, for
the Heels presented one of the
smoothest fielding teams seen in an
opening game on Emerson field for
quite a while.
It looked as if the game was to be
a free hitting contest when both teams
opened the initial period by scoring
a total of five runs. Maryland had
the upper hand then, for the Old Line
team scored three runs before Coach
Ashmore's charges knew that the
game had begun. But the Tar Heels
came back in their half of Ihe inning
and sent two runners across the plate
to make, things look better for the
home teamv Mackie, whose hard hit
ting has earned him a place on two
former all-state teams, cracked a
homer to score the two Carolina runs
in that period. Afterwards it was
hard to keep account of just who was
responsible for the Tar Heel runs.
The fact that Maryland had only
two veterans on the field yesterday
may have had something to do with
the score, but the visitors at times
looked very ragged. At other times
they played good baseball. Carolina
on the other hand boasted of six old
timers and several more who had a
great deal of experience at the na
tional pastime.
Tom Young and Tom Coxe in left
field and center field respectively cut
off possible scores several times with
their spectacular fielding. In the in
field Mackie, Burt, Satterfield,: and
Lufty worked together as if they
were born in their positions.
After spotting Maryland three runs,
the Heels started to score a few for
themselves. They scored two in the
first period. In the last half of the
third inning, with the big end of the
batting order -up, the Heels started
things right. Before the Maryland
players finally came in to start the
fourth stanza off, Carolina was lead
ing 6 to 3. After that it was merely
a matter of how many runs the Heels
would score.
Young, Mackie, Jessup, Lufty and
Satterfield all secured more than one
hit apiece for the Heels, Mackie grab
bed four,' Young three, and the oth
ers two each. Leschinsky was the
only one of the Old Liners able to
connect safely more than once.
The Heels played a faultless game
afield, while Maryland made four er

GrahamNMemorial Uncompleted
Denies Students Vital Necessity
An Editorial)
There is a time when the growth of
the student body of a college or an
university makes" it necessary for the
administration officials to seek means
of unifying the various groups and
keeping in tact the spirit and princi
ples that distinguish the institution
in its higher aims and finer purposes.
With the continual influx of students
from distant places at an ever-increasing
rate, there is the formidable dan
ger of a degree of segregation which
may defeat intentions of the founders
and destroy the spirit of the institu
tion. In the past this- danger has been
met here in various ways. Honorary
organizations have been established or
brought to the campus. An activities
committee . has been created to weld
the student body and the various ac
tivities' leaders into a more compact
group. The student body of the Uni
versity of North Carolina is rapidly
approaching if it has not already
arrived at the point when the men
ace of a diffusion, of interests and a
natural formation of groups and co
teries will work to the detriment of
the institution and will tend to anni
hilate the community spirit of the
student body. This intangible thing,
the 'Carolina spirit,' of which we
hear so much, is no longer as vital,
as gripping, as pervasive as it has
been in the past when the number of
students in attendance was less than
at present.
In" other institutions this problem
has been met by a student group or
Eastern Regional
Conference to

Notables from AH Divisions of
To Be Biggest Ever Held in South; President
Chase and Paul Green Comment.
- The Eastern Regional Drama
Conference will get under' way
here tomorrow morning with the
registration of the delegates at
the Carolina Playmaker Theatre,
This is expected to be the big
gest dramatic conference ever
held in the South. Outstanding
actresses, actors, critics, and di
rectors of drama have already ac
cepted the invitation to attend
the Conference. y
In an interview with Margaret
Vale yesterday, President Chase
said: "The fact that ten years
ago such a conference would not
have been possible here indicates
that one of the most remarkable
phases of the South's develop
, ment has been its awakening in
the field of creative art.
"If from this conference there
can come both a general stimu-
lus to the native drama of the
South and the beginning of a

April Fool's Day;
South Stands Yet
Unknown Student Played 'April Fool
Prank One Day Too Early and
Caused Trouble.
April Fool's day was ushered
in a day early by some Carolina
student, and the reports the early
bird started about happenings at
. the "Hill" proved quite, annoying
to University officials. . The news
that he started concerned the col
lapse of several buildings at the
University, and when pressed for
particulars intimated that South
Building had collapsed and sev
eral students had been buried be
neath the debris.
All Saturday inquiries were
made concerning the report. In
fact President Chase was obliged
to issue a statement denying such
an occurrence at the Hill.
The report seemed to have
gained wide circulation in Dur
ham and Raleigh, and one news
paper actually sent a reporter
: over to get the details of the
collapse. The University News
Bureau discredited the story and
Sunday morning accounts of the
joke appeared in many of the
State's leading publications.
large committee whose sole object is
to bring the various groups of the
student body into closer touch and to
keep the spirit of a compact commu
nity fresh and active. Such' a stu
dent organization demands a building
in which it may function. These
buildings are usually known as union
halls. In many cases they are mem
orials to the giver or to the memory
of a past servant of the institution.
That there is need of such a build
ing and organization here at the Uni
versity of North Carolina is indispu
table? To have a place convenient for
the students to gather, for the various
activities to be carried on, and where
students from all classes and groups
may mingle and live and feel the
spirit of Carolina is no passing fancy
of an idle idealist. It is a vital ne
cessity to the present and future
morale of the Carolina students. There
must be some agency through which
the groups may be brought together,
by which the forces of segregation
cannot tear down, and by which the
community of spirit of the student
body can be preserved. .
To fill such a need and to com
memorate the memory of a great man,
Graham Memorial building was conceived;-.
However, its - incompleteness
has stripped it of any utility to the
student body. The continued state of
permitting Graham Memorial build
ing to remain uncompleted, unfinish
ed is denying the student body of the
University ' of a vital necessity, as
well as detracting from the value of
the memorial. ' . .

Open Wednesday

forts, it seems to me the value
of the conference will be immeas
ureable." The conference is being held
under the joint auspices of the
University Extension Division
and the Carolina Playmakers.
The Conference will close Thurs
day night with a guest perform
ance by the Carolina Playmakers
at the theatre.
Paul Green is very enthusiastic
about the conference. He recent
ly said: "This conference is a
fine and big thing. The fact that
it is to be held here in Chapel
Hill at the request of the Nation
al Drama Committee, which is
headed by Professor Baker of
Yale, and Dr. Tucker of the
Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, is
a great compliment, not only to
the University of North Carolina
and the Carolina Playmakers, but
to the whole South. It is recog
nition of fine accomplishment and
of the growing importance of the
South as a contributing force to
national education and culture."

March 30" and 31
By Joseph Mitchell)
To break the curtains with a super
lative, this is undoubtedly the smooth
est bill the Playmakers have strug
gled with since 1926 as far as the
mechanics of stage craft are concern
ed. It is the most varied and hal
anced program of one acts they have
ever set up, and it has with it the
most significant and ambitious theat
rical effect and setting the group has
attempted.
Mary Dirnberger's "expressionistic
play of the future" A New Eve, may
be an example of expressionism and
it may not be. An attempt to slot
it precisely or put it in a kennel will
be futile and unnecessary. Its im
portance lies in its potentialities." That
it, the ground which the playwright
has so obligingly broken has long been
fallow in this hinterland, waiting for
the plow. Now, new forms intro
duced warily on this more or less con
servative stage will have precedent
for support. Though not as unusual
as it might be, Miss Dirnberger's play
is a successful experiment. One's only
wish is that the experiment had not
proved successful so many times be
fore. Her lines are sketchy and jerky,
which is perfectly all right, but they
are too obviously straight in line, and
every new situation may be accurate
ly forecasted. Before ten speeches are
finished, one knows what will happen
before the actors speak or move. And
that is not all right. However, she
has" attempted no stupendous motif,
and the play is satisfactory. Around
the slight enough lines the scene
wright and actors have built a more
formidable and entrancing construc
tion. In this play the technical staff of
the Playmakers have discovered that
a setting may be considerably more
than two canvas fiats"and a wooden
door, and that lighting is something
more than foots and two tormentors.

WORKMAN TALKS
TO BIBLE CLASS
The Meaning of the Incarna
tion" is Subject of Address;
Unusually Large Crowd Hears
Him.
Last Sunday morning Dr. M. T.
Workman delivered one of his strong
est lectures this year to an unusually
large group of upper-classmen at the
Young Men's Bible Class at the
Methodist Church. His subject was
"The Meaning of the Incarnation."
"It is, above all, in the life and
teaching of Jesus that we see what
God is like; this is the meaning of
the Incarnation. - It teaches us three
things. About God, it teaches us
that he must live for human- life in
order to fulfil his own being; that
he can no more live apart, from us
than we without him. About the re
lation between divinity and human
ity, it teaches us that the two are not
opposites, but that we find the divine
at its best in the midst of humanity,
and we rise to the knowledge of God
through the best in ourselves. About
humanity, it teaches us that the possi
bilities of mjn and women like us are
infinite. For the ' Incarnation is a
revelation of humanity as well as
divinity. To have seen, the full shin
ing of God revealed in Christ can we
appreciate the spiritual significance
and possibilities of our every-day hu
manity," Mr. Workman said. m
Next Sunday morning Mr. Work
man plans to speak on the topic of
"Immortality: is life worth it?" This
promises to be another good lecture.
This topic was chosen in keeping with
Easter Sunday. There is always a
cordial welcome to all upper-classmen
and others who wish to attend .these
Sunday morning - lectures at the
Methodist Church.
The following pledges were inia
tiated into the Pi Beta Phi sorority,
Saturday afternoon at the Pi Phi
house, Misses Anne Lawrence of Ra
leigh ; Lois Warden, of - Louisville,
Ky., and Miss Elizabeth Lilly of Win
ston Salem.
