When President Frank Graham
of the University of North Caro
lina promises therir'?
he will he on the bench to watch
them play a football game, ob
stacles in his path are merely
little things to overcome.
' On a train which he expected
to reach Athens in time to wit
ness the. Georgia-North Caro
lina game yesterday he found it
was about two hours behind
schedule and would- not arrive
in time for him to even hear the
final whistle.
At Whitmire, S. C, he sent
two telegrams, to : Greenville
and Greenwood, asking whether
airplane, service could be - had.
On arrival of his train here
he found Greenwood could not
furnish plane service but Green
ville could. Another wire
brought a plane here and forty
minutes later he was in athens.
"I promised my boys I would
be on the bench and I must get
there." he told the pilot: .
Student Paper
Crashes Movies
Out in California, which has
some of the finest and most
beautiful schools in the country
and which is also the cradle
and home of the national movie
X
industry, the college campuses
are frequently used for the film
ing of college comedies. On this
subject, the editor of the Los
Angeles Junior Collegian writes
interestingly:
"The Junior Collegian is now
in the movies.
"In a preview shown at a local
theatre we saw a good picture.
It was a college picture.
"Most of it was filmed on this
campus.. Things were going
along quite smoothly until some
one woke us up and said, 'Why
there's your paper
"And sure enough, it was. A
co-edish looking damsel was
looking at it so intensely she
might have been reading it."
It is quite possible that, in
some of the college pictures that
come to this state, the Los An
geles Junior College and its
worthy newspaper have appear
ed before local audiences."

CHAPEL HILL, N. C THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1930
Dramatic Association A
Arrangements
The Carolina Dramatic As
sociation, under the supervision
of Secretary Louise S. Perry has
announced plans and activities
for the coming year. This as
sociation was formed by the
Bureau of Community Drama,
directed by Professor Frederick
H. Koch, in 1924. The purpose
of the organization as stated by
Professor Koch are, "to promote
and encourage dramatic art in
the schools and communities of
North Carolina and to jmeet the
need for a genuinely construe
tive recreation; to cooperate in
the production of plays, page
ants and festivals of real worth ;
and to stimulate interest in the
v.
writing of native drama."
The services of the Bureau of
Community Drama are avail
able to all schools, colleges, and
communities throughout the
state. Requests for suggestions
concerning organization, play
selectiomehearsals, problems
J x.d lighting, plan-
nmgYptj programs, and the
teaching of dramatics are
promptly handled by Mrs. Per
ry in cooperation with the offi-.
cers of the Carolina Playmakerg
and the Carolina Dramatic As?
sociation.
The Bureau has at its disposal
2,000 volumes of play books and
subject matter dealing with the
various phases of dramatic art.
These along with illustrations
and many magazine articles
which help in the solution of
problems are willingly loaned to
interested little theatre organi
zers throughout the state of
Northr Carolina upon the pay
ment of postage and packing
charges. "
In order to assist schools and
communities in dramatic work
the bureau offers the services of
a representative who mpon re
quest directs the initial rehear
sals and giys personal informa
tion and advice concerning or
ganization, directing, and act
ing. Any dramatic group or any
individual interested in the
drama may become a member of
the Carolina Dramatic Organi-
V. P. I. Has School
Song Problem Also
The University is not alone
with its school problem. At
V. P. I., they have found that
the regular school anthem is not
suited for all occasions. So, the
student paper there is recom
mending the writing of a new
song, just as was done by Dr.
Dyer, of the 'University music
department, through -the Daily
Tar Heel not long since. The fol
lowing is the first paragraph of
an editorial in the Virginia
Tech : :
"Last spring we proposed a
new school song. Not to replace
"Tech Triumph "-not even to de -
tract from its glory, but to be
substituted for, it on certain oc
casions where it is apparent
"Tech Triumph" is not the most
appropriate song that could be
sung. We heard of one instance
where a V. P. I. cadet tried his
hand at composing such a song.
We have not heard the results.
We again recommend the writ
ing, ofS such a piece."

be entertained by the" Carolina

OBERLIN COLLEGE
HASDEPARTFilENT
OF PECE STUDY
Society Is Formed to Discuss
Effects of War As Aid to
World Peace. -
More than seven hundred
Oberlin College undergraduates
have formed the Oberlin Peace
Society, an organization which
devolved from a chapel address
made by Dr. Ernest Hatch Wil
kins, president of the college,
and one which the student lead
ers hope will spread, in one form
or another, to all the colleges
and universities of the coun
try. -
Many of the students who
joined the society pledged them
selves to do special research
work in problems of peace and
war in an effort to arrive at an
intelligent solution of the pro
blem.
The address which inspired
the formation of the society was;
one in which". President Wilkins
expressed the belief that col
leges ought to make the study of
peace one of their main sub
jects.
Warning the' students that
this generation, although due
the credit for starting the
movement for world peace, will
never see the culmination of
their work ,Dr. Wilkins con- i
tinued:
"I have imagined that for a
period of seven years Oberlin
might devote itself to an inten
sive study of this problem
elementary work in all depart
ments to continue in the normal
way, advanced work in all or
nearly all departmets to concen
trate very largely on the com
mon theme. Thus the depart-,
ment of history would study the
causes of war and their correc
tion; the departments of litera
ture would deal with those works
which set forth the experience
of war as seen by men of gen
ius who have shared in it; the
dapartments of physics and
chemistry would study the im
plications of physical and chemi
cal warfare, and the departments
of biology the implications of
that bacteriological warfare
which is all too possible; and
the other departments would
study the actual effects of war
upon the body and the mind and
the spirit of men.
' '"A monotonous and a ghastly
program, you say? Yes, but
less monotonous than the trench
es ; less ghastly than a city
street where a bomb has fallen."
Dr. Oscar. Jaszi, former Hun
garian cabinet member, now
profesor of peace and war in the
college, is to have a part in the
society.
Education School
All juniors and seniors of
the school of education, who
have not as yet had their ma
jors and minors approved, are
requested to see C. E. Mcln
toch at once. This matter will
have to be attended to before
registration for the winter
quarter.

CHOOLATIOW
1 1
Former University Professor Is
Directing an Experimental
School of Letters.
The x University of Iowa
launched 1 a school of letters this
fall, a school believed to Be the
first project of its kind in the
history of education: in the
United States.
Under the direction of Pro
fessor Norman Foerster, well
known for his work in humanism
at the University of North Caro
lina, the new school has placed
all the languages in one group,
and the organization for the
study of language and literature
has been outlined much in the
same way treatment is given to
subjects in the' schools of relig
ion, schools of journalism, and
similar university departments.
All of the University's lan
guage and literature departments-
Greek and Latin, French
and' Spanish, German and Eng
lish, are participating in the
program.
Dr. Foerster declares he is
seeking to break down artificial
departmental barriers between
these closely related subjects,
and to keep the common life and
specialized interests of the lan
guages in the foreground.
