CallioDe' Concerns Young Man With Ideals
Struggling Against Perfidy Of Dirty Politics
io, Ponkins 8
"Calliope," by Virginia Page Spen
cer of Swan Quarter, will be presented
by the Carolina Playmakers May 10,
11, 12, in their 20th premiere produc
tion of new American plays under the
direction of Kai Heiberg-Jurgensen.
Following the established tradition
of the Playmakers to feature an ori
ginal three-act play annually in a ma
jor production, this year they present
a drama laid in a village on the eastern
coast of North Carolina.
Miss Spencer says "Calliope" is es
sentially the struggle of a young man
to keep the belief in. his ideals when
confronted with racketeer politics; af
ter questioning these idealshe finally
comes back to them with stronger be
lief than ever. I have chosen the phy
sical characteristics of my own home
town and drawn composite characters
from people I know for 'Calliope,' but
the situation is fictitious."
Author Attended ECTC
In 1942 Miss Spencer graduated
from East Carolina Teachers College
with a degree in science and history.
While there, she edited "Pieces
O'Eight," the college magazine, and
also contributed poetry to that pub

she studied playwriting under the late

Modern Playhouse
Plans for a memorial theatre to
the late Dr. Frederick Koch, for 26
years director of the Carolina Play
makers, have been drawn up and the
campaign to raise funds has been
put in the hands of a committee ap
pointed by President Frank Gra
ham. Dr. Archibald Henderson, head
of the committee, has announced
that its main appeal for contribu
tions will be to people most directly
concerned with the Playmakers or
ganization, personal friends of Dr.
Koch, UNC faculty and interested
alumni. According to the commit
tee, it is expected that schools in
North Carolina, will add to the me
morial theatre fund, especially those
connected with the Carolina Dra
matic Association.
Estimated costs for the entire
project will range near $450,000,
and already an endowment of $150,
000 has been assured. As drawn up,
plans for the building include a
large public stage, a smaller experi
mental stage, scenery, painting and
costume shops, classrooms and re

Graham Appoints
Fund Committee
Encouraging letters and contribu
tions have been coming from former
Playmakers and friends and associ
ates of "Proff" Koch, as he was
known to the thousands with whom
he came in contact during his long
and famous years as head of the
UNC Dramatic Art Department.
Response from Carolina students
and faculty members now in ser
vice has also been great, according
to the fund committee.
It was one of Dr. Koch's hopes
that an enlarged Playmaker facili
ties would someday be built, and ever
since his unexpected death last Aug
ust, at the age of 66, a movement to
construct a new Playmakers theatre
in his honor has been under way.
The fund committee members for
the Koch memorial theatre are Dr.
Henderson, chairman; Samuel Sel
den, acting Playmakers director, Dr.
J. O. Bailey, Dean Francis Brad

Campus Favorite Quits Post
As Political Union Chairman
Wallace Leaves
CPU Roundtable
Jimmy Wallace, veteran campus
politician and outspoken disciple of
student freedom, resigned the chair
manship of, the Carolina Political
Union Sunday night. Wallace had
held the position for nearly a year.
In leaving, the former chairman
cautioned the union against electing
a successor not familiar with the union
and other campus organizations. He
said, "We must always keep the link
with the past in all the campus or
ganizations, and keep them well an
chored with the times when they played
a greater part in campus life than at
the present."
During Wallace's term as CPU
chief, the union presented Alabama's
Senator Lister Hill and TV A Chair
man David Lilienthal as speakers to
the campus in addition to conducting
several polls on issues pertinent on the
campus.

Measure Up
Many Snares Seen.
Before Final Vote
By Barron Mills
The new members of the stu
dent legislature will see fire
works for the first time Thurs
day night when the Ways and
Means committee will introduce
i a new bill that will change the
complete setup of campus elec
tions and present the twice
tabled office-eligibility bill.
Chairman of the Ways and Means
committee, A. B. Smith, announced
that the committee met last night
and invited Bill McKenzie, president
of the student body, and Walt Brink
ley, chairman of the elections com
mittee, to meet with the group. They
went over the new bill and made the
necessary corrections before it will
be presented Thursday night. Chair
man Smith said that the first clause
of the new bill stated that all previous
bills dealing with the general campus
elections will be "null and void."
Great Need for Bill
Smith stated that it has been evi
dent for sometime now that all of
the small election bills that "were
pushed through after and during
campus elections last spring" should
be compacted and revised into one
general election bill.
The legislature is not expected to
pass the bill before several sessions
because there will probably be snares
and amendments that will have to be
included in the bill.
The bill includes election literature,
campaigning, polling places, cam
paign expenditures and the election
in general.
Also on the agenda for Thursday
night's session is the oflfice-eligibilty
bill. The bill was first introduced to
the legislators before the new legis
lature came into office. It was pre
sented to the Ways and Means com
mittee last month and then put be
fore the legislature for consideration.
The bill was amended and then tabled
by the legislature.
Twice Tabled
It then was brought up a second
time and again was tabled and sent
back to committee. This bill was
tabled until after the past campus
elections by request of the faculty.
The original idea of the bill was
presented to the Ways and Means
committee by the faculty committee
of which Dean E. L. Mackie is chair
man. Chancellor House appointed the
committee to look into the grades of
campus office holders and it was
found that students were neglecting
their academic work for extra-curricular
activities.
Dean Mackie referred the idea to
the legislature to draw up a bill so
that the faculty could get the student
point of view and find out what they
