The local fans interested in; the Carolina Playmakers, eagerly receiv ed that organization's radio broad cast performance of Quare Medicine, one of the northern tour plays, last night despite ; . considerable difficulty experienced in tuning in on one of the twenty-three stations throughout the United States that sent the program out over their districts. 1 Those who heard other plays broad cast were of the opinion that the Play maker attempt was an unusually good one. Disappointment was ex pressed last night, however, by those who had never heard a similar per formance before at the incomplete ness of the lines heard only and the action not visualized. In arranging with the Columbia Brbadcasting circuit for the broad casting of the Playmaker per formance, Francis Cleminger wrote Professor Koch that the "theatrical business" of spitting .in the fire at the end of the play would not .register and suggested that the substitution of the emptying of ashes from a pipe be made. It was interesting to' hear Professor Hubert Heffner,' who play ed the part of the old father spit voci ferously into the fire. , This last week end was a full one for the Playmakers". Recognized as important factors 'in -the native drama, leaders of the stage and thea trical world entertained the trio of local dramatic teachers "at informal dinners - and , meetings. t-The. Gotham press has been wholehearted in recog nizing the work of the most famous North Carolina dramatic group. The Herald ' Tribune, and The World, in addition to praise offered some very valuable criticism saying that the tim ing of Playmaker performances has always .been too slow. The selection of "The Man Who Died At Twelve O'clock" by Paul Green was criticized by most of the papers on the tour, it being universally considered the weakest play on the bill. ' Little Mrs. Loretto Carroll Bailey, twenty year old playwright and act ress, has been lauded as the star, of the bill in the press of every town on the itinerary of the northern tour.

Greensboro - News. .Nearly one - thousand undergrad uates of the North Carolina State student body voiced their opinions con cerning student government , and the honor system in the recent question naire sent Out by The Technician. Of this number the vast majority ,favor .ed a revision of the present ; system, .and by a tabulation of the question naire answers, numbers of reforms were suggested; many of these were mild in form, while others were tint-J ed with revolutionary " upheavals, ' v, ' . . - : . ' -.. '- : ? , Ninety-five percent of the students who gave their opinions refused to do away, with student government entire ly, and 49.99 per cent would have a referendum to the r students on the question. Eight .hundred and thirty five" members of the ' student body answered the appeal sent out by The Technician to determine campus feel ing on the question. : :i Since three weeks ago, when the Golden Chain, senior honorary organi zation, went on record disapproving the: present system and advertising reforms, arguments . and dissentions have been abundant on the campus, both among the students and faculty. Indeed interest was so . high last week that class work was suspended on Monday ;and Tuesday in qr der that the' students rwitKthe 'faculty might discuss the problem, and attempt, to arrive at some conclusion. " . In order to determine just how the student body felt concerning student government-and .the honor system The Technician, State College school paper, circulate among the classrooms a questionnaire containing nearly all of the ; problems .ppenr' discussion. It is hoped that, .since'itiis complication is in no way connected with the stu dent government organization nor the college, this tabulation "has obtained the true expression of the campus; ; Only .23 students in their reply -to the questionnaire stated that' they were, opposed to student government arid desired its abolition. Five hundred and sixty-two favored revising the present organization ; opinions on .the question of modification differed sharply. Only 169 voted 1 that they were desirous of retaining the present system. One hundred; and fifty-five voted for studentt government with out the honor system, and 390 favored faculty assistance. For the last time before the Vir- ginia contest the Heels will be drilled on Carolina soil. Tomorrow will find Carolina on Cavalier soil. Tomorrow - will ; also . find the beginning of . the long line of Carolina supporters wending their way. to Charlottesville for the "Classic of the South." Thurs day the storm will break. Thursday the scene will be set for another spectacle that may leave many gasp- -ing with astonishment as did last year's contest. . Thursday will find many jubilant, but it will : also find many, sorrowing. ! Ten days has been devoted to prep arations for this spectacle. . Ten days have been spent in an . effort to pro vide the football followers who will journey to Lambeth Field .Thursday afternoon with a- fitting Turkey Day contest. , - . - In those ten days many things have been done. Two football squads have been drilled for a contest that means much, to both institutions. Whatever the coaches can dp has been done, it no longer rests in the hands of "Greasy" Neale and his as sistants . or in the hands of "Chuck" Collins and his co-workers. The de cision lies with the players. They will determine the final outcome. No one else can interfere. ..

Only one man is missing from the regular lineup.v They, like their neighbors to the north, are prepared. Also, like the Virginians, they have had" a spotted season.

He will be flanked . by Day, sophomore guard, and either Byrd or Flippin,. ends. Taylor will be at center for the Cavaliers, while Motley, another sophomore, will be at right guard.
