A., vesper services are held in Gerrard hall each evening at 6 : 30 o'clock under the leadership of Bbb Barnett. This idea of a daily vesper service first originated jfour or five years ago, did not flour ish at its first beginning. It was tried again the years fol lowing, only succeeding in the winter quarter. From, several years of experience it has been found that a vesper service will not succeed" during , the fall quarter, due to the predomin ance of fraternity rushing; con sequently, this year the idea was carried out for the first time the second week of the winter quarter and will continue through the spring. The ves pers last twelve minutes and are Pen to the public. Barwiek Chosen New Chairman of Fund Alan J. Barwiek, a prominent Raleigh lawyer and attorney is the newly selected chairman of the Loyalty Fund. He gradu ated in the class of 1900 and succeeds Leslie Weil, '95, in the office. At present he has a daughter, Eloise, in the junior class at the University. His son, Killian, graduated from here with the class of '28 and then studied law. MANNING TELLS FRESHMEN ABOUT i!EDICALSCH00L "Students Must Have Ability to Work To Be in Medical School," Says Dean. Dean Isaac H. Manning of the University school of medicine gave the freshmen some inter esting facts about the depart ment of which he is head in chapel Thursday. He first gave the requirements necessary for the right type of student to un dertake the study of medicine. He stated that it is not neces sary to be a genius, but merely to possess a good average brain combined with ability for hard work. The three learned professions according to Dean Manning are law, the ministry, and medicine In each of these professions learning and ability are re quired, but in the study of medicine especially there is no room for the lazy student. A large number of factors play a part in the preparation or the pursuit of medicine. In the pre-med course the depart- ;ment believes in the need for j the cultural and basic studies. I These, however, should be sub- ordinated to the courses giving a knowledge of the fundamental sciences such as biology, zoolo gy physics, and chemistry. In these courses the experience in laboratory methods so indispen sable to medicines is gained. Dean Manning gave the en trance requirements demanded by most of the larger and more prominent medical schools for graduate work. The minimum requirement is a total of - sixty semester hours. That is equiv alent to the two year course given here. Many schools, how ever, require three years, and some demand the A. B. degree. Six full courses in chemistry are necessary. The medical school dean, who has been a member of the fac ulty for ' thirty-one years, said that from long observation he had found that a student's aver age grades are a very good in dication of the character work he will do in the medical school. Moreover, he asserted that the presentation of subject hours alone will not suffice for admission to the school but that high grade work must have been done. This is a prime requisite as the work in this department is comDarable only to that in the engineering school as to its dif ficulty. Dr. Manning told of the apti tude test to be given Friday at three o'clock and urged all con- temnlatinff medicine to taKe it It is used as a gauge of a stu- ,i 11Qlifir'itinnH for this "The cost of a degree in medi- rW !s np.rhans the most expen sive of degrees," said the speak er .

C FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1931 QUERIES CHOSEN TO BE DISCUSSED BY DI AND PHI The joint ways and means committee of the Di and Phi so cieties announce the following bills to be discussed at the joint session of the two societies Tues day night in the Di hall. Presi dent Little and Speaker Whitten ton urge all members of both bodies to become familiar with the problems involved in these questions. The bills are : Resolved: That the manage ment of the University, State College, and N. C. C. W. should be consolidated into one large University of North Carolina. Resolved : That the student body has too little control over extra-curricular activities on the feampus. Material on the first question may be obtained from the Brook ings Institute Report, from wThich the following is an ab stract : "It is extremely unfortunate that the State College and the University are located in differ ent cities and also that North Carolina College for Women is developing its own individual program. If there were some in tegrating agency, it is probable that much of the duplication now existing could be eliminat- ( Continued n laut page) EPISCOPAL BISHOP FTTT !D17 A II HITB1? Rev. Thomas C.

NEW PLAY SERIES ARE INTRODUCED Student Playwrights Will Pre sent Guest Performance of "The Blue Remembered HOls' The Playmakers are institut ing a series of experimental plays to be produced in connec tion with the playwriting class conducted by Professor F. H. Koch. Any play that shows promise, regardless of the theme's uniquteness, will be con sidered material for these pro ductions. A play by Theodore Herman, a graduate student, will be the first-of these series. It will be presented this evening in the Playmakers Theatre, as a strictly invitational perfor mance. " Herman's play The Blue Re member ed Hills, was probably inspired by one of Housman's poems. It suggests the splendid ecstacy of youth and the joy of living. Technically' speaking The Blue Remembered Hills is a one act play in two scenes. The first scene is in a room of a dor mitory in a boys' college. The second scene is the living room of a fraternity house. Ten minutes is supposed to elapse be tween the scenes. The play deals with the boy's consciousness of the value of adolescence and the conviction that to compromise with life is the deepest of all tragedies. Five boys are caught in the swirl of i One boy is willing to compro- mise ; another wavers upon the edge of a definite action ; a third unconsciously influences an old er boy who, in turn, exerts a most subtle influence upon every one he meets. There are now two other ex perimental plays in rehearsal: Margaret Howe's The House of Grief, and Anthony Buttita's Playthings, which are to be given in the near future. Taylor Society Dr. G. T. Schwenning of the commerce school will address the Taylor Society tonight at seven o'oclck in room 103 Bingham hall. C. Felix Harvey KOCH WILL READ CONNELLY'S PLAY SUNDAYEVMNG "The Green Pastures" Was First Produced in New York Februarv 26th. The reading of the Carolina Playmakers for February is to be given by Professor Frederick Koch, Sunday night in the Play makers Theatre. The title of the reading is The Green Pastures by Marc Connelly. It was first produced in New York February 26, 1930, and is still running. The author used as a substantial basis, Roark Bradford's Ol' Man Adam J an'-His Chillun. - - - The play is an attempt to pre sent concretely the religious ideas held by thousands of Ne groes in the deep South. Their idea of heaven, that it is a place where all will have everything that makes for innocent pleas ure, is one held by many. Their idea of the inhabitants of heav en is of themselves clothed with power and glory. One of the features of the play as produced is the singing of spirituals that serve as a sort of emotional con nective tissue between the scenes. Professor Bruce Car penter says of this singing that it "adds a unity and an emo tional emphasis that is inval uable." The critics have been most en thusiastic. Theatre Arts Month ly attributes to the. play "the glow of a quiet beauty and self-sustaining form." Brooks Atkinson, as quoted by Profes sor Carpenter, says tnat as comedy, fantasy, folklore, re ligion, poetry, and theatre, it is of surpassing beauty." Profes sor Carpenter points out "the striking resemblance to the mir acle plays of England. Just as the shepherds in the Secunda Pastorum bring to the Christ child mittens and other . gifts that the shepherds of Jerusalem would never have heard of, so the characters in The Green Pastures place modern clothes on many of their Bible figures and make them do strictly mocT ern things." - Of special interest to North Carolina is the fact that Richard Harrison, who play The Lord, was a teacher in the A. and T. College in Greensboro.
