PAGE FOUR THE TAR HEEL TUESDAY, MAY 8, 1945 Coed Glee Club Plans Camp Tour For Servicemen Leaving tomorrow morning, the Woman's Glee Club will tour the state for the remainder of the week entertaining: servicemen in four camps. The 85 c6eds will sing for the men at Fort Bragg Wednesday night. After a sight-seeing trip of the camp Thursday they will travel by bus to Camp Lejeune to present two pro grams to the Marines at New River Thursday night. Next on .the list of stops is Cherry Point where the glee club will per form Friday night. The group will be guests at a big Marine dance to be given in their honor that night. The trip will end Saturday afternoon. The glee club program includes the following selections: "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" from "Okla homa," "Summer Time" from "Porgy and JJess," and "Deep in My Heart." These musical comedy selections will be followed by folk songs. Fred War- ing's arrangements of "I Heard You Cried Last Night," "When the Lights Go on Again," and "There Are Such Things" will end the program. ' m addition to the glee club, a group of choreographers accompanied by Bill Sasser will entertain the serv- icemen with modern dances repre senting what GI Joe sees all over the world. Betty Lou Cypert will con tribute "Nobody Wants Me" and "I Wanna Get Married" to the enter tainment. pinned on Sheila Justice thi3 week by Doc Sloan.

I think if the "Ram' could see a little better it would help. I did not "pinup" Irna Bennett, I do not even know her. " Please make the correction. Bill Ward. EDITOR'S NOTE: The "Ram" is notorious for its mistakes; erring to produce interest seems to be its style. The Editor takes no respon sibility for material appearing on page two -except, of course, the edi torials. A full list of the contribu tors to the "Ram" will be supplied upon request. We print this column because we are assured that it is well-read. For Marines only: Quoting Thad Ellis, up from Lejeune: "I liked Carolina when I was here: I liked it when I left; and, by gad, I wish I were back for keeps now." For Bill McKey, Knuckles, and Mark, too, thirteen was a lucky number, for - 313 Alderman houses Patty, Penny, and Barbara. When those ,;,six 'inseparables are together ask for a "spider, doing push-ups a la Mark" performances. Pre-Flights had no 24-Below Saturday evening monopoly. The "leatherneck" table spelled restriction, did it not? Lifted from a Mississippi Spec tator: If she has too many dates, she's frivolous. If she goes steady, she has no stag line. If she obeys all the rules, she is a drip. If she doesn't, she's wild. If she doesn't study, she gets kicked out. If she does, she's a bookworm. If she talks a lot, she has a line If she doesn't, she is a social flop. In other words, what's the use ? Romance is in the air! The dia mond of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was 'I tion of Mac Davis as House Man ager and Fred Caligan as House Boy. Congratulations, girls, on your fine choices.

Nell Shanklin wants to attend a wedding and is tired of waiting around on her sister ADPi. Travis Hunt dashed away on a secret mission this past week-end. Ditto for Betty Edwards and Mar garet de Rosset. Tom Stockwell is definitely in Mac Davis' rut at the Chi O House . obviously because he receives the "waves." LUX ET LIBERT AS One of the most important problems confronting post-war planners will oc cupy the Dialectic Senate in discussion tomorrow night when they debate a bill advocating the keeping of a large standing army and navy by the United States at the close of the war. At the present time the Di, along with the Tar Heel, and the Debate Council are working towards the re- ! organization of the Philanthropic So ciety, The Phi Society which in the early days of Carolina was a great political and social organ and the Di's bitter opponent sank to oblivion as a result of the war.

Several years ago I saw one of these exhibits when it was on dis play in my home town; there was a wide and interesting variety of subject matter done in oils, water color, crayons, and chalk. I was impressed by the vivid and intense color in these pictures. The sub ject matter varied according to the age of the artist and to the local ity in which the artist lived; one thing that I noticed particularly was the wide sweep and freedom in the line and : detail. Through this artistic medium the child learns to express himself. From the earliest age the child shows a natural creative urge and this is most often and most satis factorily ; expressed in drawing; whether he develops to the fullest extent is due to the kind of recep tion his efforts meet. The child who is allowed to follow his nat ural artistic urges is. building a foundation for later life by broad ening his outlook at an early age. The idea is not to develop a gen eration of artists but to develop a , n i i i i i . weu-ruunuea mamauai who is capable of expressing himself, who looks deeply into matters, who thinks clearly, and who has the ability to create and express new ideas. What the child creates on paper is an insight into the personality of the child; children have an in clination to follow along specific lines at certain ages but they all show marked differences in ex pressing these tendencies. The exhibit is compiled by the public schools once a year and cir culates over the period of a school year throughout North Carolina. This is done so that the art teacher and the student may see the trends and developments of other schools in the state. Art in the public schools is often limited by lack of materials and teacher help; even so the material submitted by the schools of this state compares favorably with that done in other sections of the coun try and of the world. The art program has not been incorporated into all -the schools By Beverly Eisenberg More news from Northwestern: A new club has been formed on the campus. This organization is called the "Glamazon Club." Membership is limited to coeds over five feet seven. The Syracuse Daily Orange an nounced that the number of jour nalism students at the University of Syracuse has increased 28 per cent since last year. The survey also revealed that 85 per cent of the journalism students are women. The Harvard Service gave "Dark of the Moon," the new Broadway hit which was written by a former UNC student, a good write-up when it showed in Boston recently. The article states, " 'Dark of the Moon' captures the God-fearing earthiness of the hill people, and puts . a thoroughly American legend on 'the stage with poetic artistry, pungent humor, and lusty music . straight from the core of native balladry." The review also commends the work of the author, Howard Rich ardson, and "a virtually unknown cast of young hopefuls." The Bulletin of New York Uni versity published a spirited editor ial recently, entitled "Intolerance Grows." We quote: "An infection is spreading throughout our schools. The tend ency to clamp down on liberalism has reared its head in three of our colleges. The dismissal of President Homer P. Rainey in Texas Univer sity, the suppression of the Wil liam and Mary newspaper and the silence of President Butler on the subject of dental school quotas are displays of un-American intolerance and prejudice." The editorial continues, explain ing the latest incident: "Dr. Horner, secretary of , the American Dental Association, in his confidential letter to New York and Columbia Universities, implied that in the future, religion should be an important criterion in select ing students for their dental schools. Dr. Newman, head of NYU's Dental School, indignantly resigned his position in protest. "If New York University has taken up the cudgels against racial intolerance, other schools have not been as democratic. President But ler of Columbia, although he has seen fit to offer comments regard ing much less important matters, Come Next Friday Kat Hill, former editor of the Tar Heel, will marry Lt. William Fergu son, USMC, on May 11 in New Bern. Hill was the first and only popu larly elected woman editor of the Tar Heel. She succeeded Walter Damtoft who left for active duty with the Navy in October, 1943. She was suc ceeded by Horace Carter. V-12 stu dent, who was elected to office in the spring of 1944. In addition to being editor of the Tar Heel, she was selected for the 1944 edition of Who's Who Antong Students in American Colleges and Universities, Carolina Magazine staff, in the Playmakers, Sound and Fury, Student Legislature, on the Yackety Yack staff, Student Welfare Board, Student Entertainment Committee, CPU, Chi Delta Phi, and Graham Memorial Board of Directors. She re- I ceived her A.B. in June, 1944. FRIED ERICH (Continued from first page) in 1935. He is a former German in structor at MIT and Yale. He was born in Switzerland and educated at Bern and Paris, receiving his Ph.D. at Harvard. He has written several studies of English poets and a short history of the United States, which was published in Switzerland Dr. Friederich was the first professor to lecture in English on American lit erature in Bern, and for two years he served in the Swiss army as a lieutenant. The former professor had sold his furniture and rented his home in Chapel . Hill, and was in New York City preparing for a refresher course before going overseas. Playmakers Use Many Stage Sets In Newest Production By Elaine Pearlstine Two stage sets visible at the same time, indoor and outdoor lighting, a stage fire; these are some of the unusual technical features in the Play- makers production of "Calliope," Virginia Page Spencer's three-act play to be presented May 12, 14 and 15. Three different stage sets, the wharf. I r- ri i i ir J the living room, and the sheriff's of- LU isttlUT UWOy LiUTilCCl fice, are in the style of selected realism with the wharf set visible throughout the entire performance. Designer Fos ter Fitz-Simons, considering the prac ticai aspects of the play which re quires 7 scene changes together with the mechanical difficulties arising from the small stage, discussed the play with author Virginia Spencer and di rector Kai Jurgensen and decided "that the use of one setting to serve as a permanent background for the whole play was justified since it arises thematically, emotionally, and psy chologically out of the play itself. The feeling of the waterside fishing vil lage which has meaning in various -C 11 V. x - ii i ways iui an uic vuaiacmrs m ine play . was the natural background to use , Linayen GuIf- New Navy Instructor Two naval officers, Lieutenant Com mander Harry Edgar Gibby, Jr., and Lieutenant Donald G. Byers, have been added to the Naval ROTC unit here as instructors. A native of Brookline, Mass., Com mander Gibby attended Roxbury Latin School in Boston and was graduated from Harvard in 1938 when he re ceived a commission as an ensign and was placed on inactive duty. He re ported for active duty in 1941 and participated in the invasions of North Africa, Sicily, Makin, Kwajalin, Eni- wetok, Saipan, Angaur, Leyte, and CRISP ELECTED (Continued from first page) Relations club and has served as edi torial-columnist for the Tar Heel for over a year. He has contributed to the Carolina Mag and has been a member of Graham Memorial Board of. Directors. Leaving the chairmanship of the Union was Jimmy Wallace, who had served in that capacity for nine months. The Union will discuss in its meet ing next Sunday night at 8 o'clock in the Grail Room of Graham Memo rial the steps so far taken by the San Francisco Conference. Dick Stern and Myra Sklarey will give factual re ports. All students are welcome to at tend the CPU roundtable and partici pate in the discussion. would venture no statement rca: ing Horner's letter." Buy War Bonds with the other two sets vignetted with in the wharf set." The wharf dom inates the stage, looming up in the background over the sheriff's office and -the living room, which is flyed when not in use. Thus the motivating influence of the wharf is seen as well as felt by the audience. Another interesting technical effect is that of the moonlight on the wharf. After experiments with a number of different blue gelatins, a combination was found to capture the illusion of the moonlight reflected from the ocean ! as well as its direct light Still another product of the light ing technicians is the wareshouse fire which causes Paul's blindness. Pro duced with the aid of smudge pots and a variety of red lights, the fire is real istic as well as safe for the audience. Exceedingly challenging technically, the production requires split-second precision on the part of the stage crews to make complicated changes in the short periods between scenes. TAR AND FEATHERS (Continued from page two) troduced a bill for Codification and Drafting of enactments . . . The Archives Committee has not col lected and codified them . . . Prob ably still in the Archives some where . . . Warren's bill calls for a new committee to replace the Ar chaic Comm. . . . His bill is unique in that the Committee of Codifica tion and Drafting is responsible di rectly to the legislature instead of to the speaker . . . i.e., the bill pro vides that the legislature shall elect the Chairman of the proposed com mittee, and that the speaker shall appoint the remaining four mem bers of the committee . . . Nice going Charlie W. but why not let the legislators elect the whole com mittee? . . . Clive Thompson's new ly introduced bill to repeal the act limiting dance expenditures, if passed, will take the hypocrisy out Lieutenant Byers, of Indianapolis, Indiana, received his B.

He reported for naval duty in 1942 and went overseas in March, 1943, to the Mediterranean Theatre of war returning to the United States in December 1944. of Carolina week-enas. Why not have one big worthwhile dance in stead of four sloppy ones on a week-end? The total expenditures would be the same. A suggestion: The Interfratern ity Council has been going smooth ly as far as it goes, but it's going in the wrong direction with its surplus from fines, etc. . . . Fra ternities have been catching hell all over the country . . . some of it is justifiable ... a lot is not as far as UNC is concerned . . . How ever, the fraternities on this cam pus should constantly strive to make Carolina's social set-up ac ceptable and favorable to all critics (regardless of how warped the critics might be) . . . In the past the surplus fund has been used for beer parties for the Council, cham pagne parties for the Council's executivje committee, etc. . . . Since the main criticism of Fra ternities is that they are not demo cratic (neither is' the family, but we won't go into that), why not do something democratic with this fund? Such as: Donate books to the library, or help financially in the improvement of the campus, or set up an Interfraternity Council scholarship fund to help a deserv ing non-fraternity student finan cially, etc., etc. . . . Sudh actions will pay greater dividends to fra ternities than what the past in vestments of surplus funds have reaped. The money you give for the Ameri can Cancer Society will be well used.
