1ESENT FIFTH j
Program Of Four One-Act Plays
To Be Given In Little Theatre
Thursday, Friday, -And Sat
urday Nights.
-The Carolina Playmakers will
present ;their fifth program of
the season; a bill of four new
one-act plays, .Thursday evening
at 8 :30 in the Playmaker thea
tre. The performance will be re
peated Friday and Saturday.
The plays to be presented are :
For Auntie's $akeK a college I
comedy by John Patric ; oft?
hocJcs; a New England folk-play
by Joseph Fox; Suspended Ani
mation, a comedy by Kent
C.reuser; and Death Valley
Scotty, a California folk-play by
Milton Wood. '
All of these are "first plays."
The authors have developed ma
terial gathered from localities
.with which they are familiar.
Joe Fox, the author of Holly
hocks, comes from -Massachu-sets.
Milton Wood, who bases
his play Death Valley Scotty on
a California legend, comes from
that state. Kent Creuser's play
deals with the difficulties of a
student in the playwriting course
here at the University, in which
course he is enrolled himself.
John Patric's play is centered
about the efforts of a college boy
to "make a hit" with a co-ed.
Writing for the play, program,
Professor Frederick Koch says
regarding For Auntie9s Sake,
"The incident seems suspicious
ly autobiographic, although the
author insists that the character
of the charming, but not too in
telligent, co-ed is none of his
acquaintance." Of Hollyhocks
he says, "It is an authentic play
of New England Village-folk.
But for her relentless Puritan
conscience, Millie's lot would
still be cast with the hollyhocks
of her country garden. , But the
specter of divorce was unrelent
ing. As Grannie says, 'It is not
a question of money or of what
the village-folk would say, but of
what's right and what's, wrong'."
Of Suspended Animation Pro
fessor Koch says in writing for
the program, "Here is a true epi
sode in the frenzied struggle
of the student m English 31 in
writing his first play. ' The au
thor vouches for the reality of
the scene . . . his own room . . ..
and the 'bull session from 6 :30
one evening to 8 o'clock the next
morning out of which the idea
came. The characters are en
acted by the actual participants
in the original 'bull session.' The
sandwiches were good, .the cof
fee hot, and the conversation
spirited. But the idea of Sus
pended Animation did not come
to the author until the ghastly
hour of 5 o'clock in the morn
ing." s
The scene of Death Valley
Scotty is laid in the famous
California desert. Professor
Koch states, "The author, Mil
ton Wood, vividly records for us
his own impressions of that
mysterious figure who has been
there so long that the oldest
prospector of the region can
only say of him: 'Scotty was
thar when I come'."
Casts for the plays follow:
For Auntie's Sake Penelope
Brown, Lottie Frances Mays;
and "Fred Barrett, John Patric.

An unexciting session of

Monday morning was character
ized by the fact that for the
second time since the establish
ment of the institution nearly a
year ago, there were no charges
against negroes.
J. M. Davis, 22, white, charg
ed with having passed a worth
less check for $4.80 on April 20,
1928, upon Sol Lipman, pleaded
"not guilty," claiming tfat he
gave the check to Lipman with
the proviso that it was not to be
cashed immediately. .
Judge Hinshaw believed, how
ever, that Davis ..was guilty :
"Two months at hard labor on
the county roads," he said to
Davis, who looked up in great
alarm. "Sentence to be sus
pended upon payment of the
check and casts of the case."
: Davis was willing to pay the
check, but balked at "the casts,"
preferring to take chances with
the mercies of a higher court.
He gave notice of appeal.

(By Will Yarborough)
With the largest number of
members to attend a meeting
since Dr. H. W. Chase was elect
ed president eleven years ago,
the board of trustees of the Uni
versity, met in Raleigh yesterday
morning to consider the selec
tion of a man to succeed Dr.
Chase. Eighty-one of the one
hundred members were on hand
for the meeting.- Th appoint
ment of a committee, of o
consider the field of poss .; V J
was the major action taken at
the two-hour session yesterday
morning.
The board met in the Hall of
the H.ouse of Representatives
with Governor Max Gardner,
ex-officio chairman, presiding, at
11 o'clock yesterday morning.
It was decided to follow the pro
cedure adopted when a successor
to Edward Kidder Graham was
elected : the selection of a com
mittee to consider the fitness of
those suggested for the presi
dency. Alexander H; Graham
of Hillsboro, Judge John J.
Parker of Charlotte, Leslie
Weil of Goldsboro, Charles
Whedbee of Hertford and Stahle
Linn of Salisbury were named
on this committee. It will not
nominate or select a man but
Will only report on the fitness of
persons suggested at a call meet
ing of the full board later. It
is said that this meeting will
likely occur sometime in April.
Resolutions of regret over the
resignation of Dr. Chase will be
drawn up by a committee com
posed of Judge Francis D. Win
ston of Hertford, Walter Mur
phy of Salisbury, Judge J. Craw
ford Biggs of Raleigh, Josephus
Daniels of Raleigh, and U. S.
Representative C. A. Jonas of
Lincolnton.
Other action of the board con
sisted of voting unanimously to
confer the degree of Doctor of
Laws on Dr. Chase. Governor
Gardner was instructed on mo
tion by Josephus Daniels, editor
of the News and Observer, to
wire' the University of Illinois
congratulations on securing Dr.
Chase as president arid an ex
pression of regret that he is to
leave the state.
The list of possibilities has
steadily ' grown since the an
nouncement of Dr. Chase's res
ignation as president. Profes
sors Frank Graham and R. D.
W. Connor were prominent
among those first suggested. .
However, Mr. Graham in a let
ter ; to the Governor " asked that
his name be withheld from con
sideration. Others mentioned
prominently in Raleigh yester
day were Chief Justice W. P.
Stacy of the State Supreme
Court, Associate Justice W. J.
Brodgen of Durham, Dr. Ben R.
Lacy, Dean Addison Hibbard
and Dr. Archibald Henderson.
It has not been learned wheth
er the faculty will make a rec-,
ommendation or hot. Up to the
present student sentiment has
not crystallized, in favor of any
particular person.
