Accepting an invitation issued by he Phi Assembly, Alexander H. Gra- ham, speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives, will conduct a joint meeting of the Di Senate and he Phi Assembly on April ninth to discuss the plan of complete reorgani zation of the University student government as proposed by Dr. Book er. Speaker Graham, a member of the class of 1912, and now prominent in political proceedings of the state, played a leading role in campus af fairs while at the University, and continues to hold an interest in them. Plans for the meeting as advanced by officers of the Phi arrange for an introduction of Speaker Graham by Dr. Booker, after, which he will as sume the office of temporary speaker Qf the Assembly and conduct the ses sion for the remainder of the evening. Discussion of Dr. Booker's plan will probably be a heated one, and the . presence of such an eminent person should call forth even finer oratory han usual. The suggested plan would revolu tionize student government on the campus. The proposal was consider ed from all angles by Dr. Booker be fore being made public, and is con sidered very sound by all who have studied it at length. It would put in place of the present council system of student government a system analo gous to that of our national govern ment a legislative branch consisting of an upper and lower house, an exe cutive, and a supreme court with the triple purpose of securing the wide interest in issues that represen tative bodies can arouse in their con stituents, of practicing our students in the form of government they will live under and of furnishing for debate and decision the actual problems that grow out of student life instead of the hypothetical questions now proposed before our societies. This joint session is one of the few that have been held in the past months, and both bodies have stress ed the fact that the meeting will be open to the student body and the public at large, and for those inter ested both in Speaker Graham's pre siding and in the vital topic up for discussion to be present.

The Carolina Playmakers will make a short three day tour among North Carolina cities during the spring recess next week. This tour was decided upon because of the in ability of the organization to fill three very important dates while on the Southern tour recently. Professor Hubert Heffner an nounced at his office yesterday that the same three plays as were used on the occasion of both the Southern and Northern tours would be taken on this spring recess trip. The plays used on these occasions were: "Job's Kinfolks," by Loretto Carroll . Bailey, and "The Man Who Died at Twelve O'clock" and "Quare Medicine," both by Paul . Green. The casts of the plays that will be again taken on tour are as follows: For "Job's Kinfolks" Mrs. Loretto Carroll Bailey, Miss Neona Sturgeon, Miss Helen Dortch, Miss Penelope Alexander, and George Ehrhart. For "The Man Who Died at Twelve O'clock" Miss Helen Dortch, Hubert Heffner, and Howard Bailey. For "Quare Medicine" Penelope Alexander, Hubert Heffner, Howard Bailey, and T. P. Harrison. The itinerary of the tour includes the following towns : Meredith, March 20; Smithfield, March 21, where the Playmakers will be sponsored by the Smithfield Home Demonstration Club; Wilmington, March 22, where they will be managed by the Parent Teachers' organization, who will use the profits accruing from the pro gram for the purpose of enlarging the school library facilities of the city; and Williamston, March 23. tl
