Ben Greet Says Talkies Will ' Never Replace Legitimate Stage By Peter Hairston For the third time in his life, Sir Philip Ben Greet has visited the University, this time to pres ent, in his inimitable way, Shake speare's Hamlet. He came as one of the leading exponents of Shakespearen drama on the modern stage. For over fifty years he has been connected with thd theatre, both as actor and director. In all of these years, he has learned, he says, at least one thing; that is that there is just one model for playwrites, actors, and producers; and he is Wil liam Shakespeare. Although this idea can hardly be classed as unusual among Englishmen as a whole, the firmness of his conviction is unique. He even carried it to the point of using costumes such as those worn by players in the time of Queen Elizabeth in order to conform as nearly as possible to the original productions. His pet abomination are the vitaphones, which he calls "ab ominable machines." To quote him, "They have not," he said, 'and never can take the place FRESHMAN CLASS SECURE WADE TO ADDRESS SMOKER t Duke Coach Will Continue Theme of First Smoker in Meeting Friday Night. Wallace Wade, head athletic coach at Duke University, will Carolina and Duke.' The first smoker was excep tionally "successful since five hundred freshmen turned put for the occasion. Pat Patter son presided as the freshman class had not been organized at that time: Friday night, how ever, Ike Minor, president of the freshman class, will preside. Beside Wallace Wade, the main speaker for the evening, President Graham and Coach Chuck Collins are to make short addresses. All of the student leaders on the campus, faculty members, and the officers of the other three classes have been invited to the smoker, and are expected to attend. The executive committee of the freshman class made fre quent efforts last quarter to ob tain a speaker for the occasion, but the event was postponed penamg tne acceptance oi one of a number of men invited to address the group. Invitations were extended to Altred Hi. Smith, ex-governor of New York and Democratic candidate for the presidency in 1928 ; Hon. Cameron Morrison, former gov ernor of North Carolina and re cently appointed. United States Senator, and Wallace Wade, who came to Duke University recently from the University of Alabama. An orchestra for the occasion has not yet been selected, but class officials expect to com plete musical arrangements within a few days and secure a popular collegiate orchestra. All first year men will be ' expected to attend. 1 of the legitimate stage. They are after all, only glorified photo graphy. A short time ago, when was in Hollywood, I was struck by the number of people who had to sit around all day for two young girls to get cor rectly painted and posed. There is no art in this, for it has ceas ed to be acting and has become, instead, posing." His praise for the Playmaker movement was reserved but nevertheless warm, and he thought that their equipment was excellent. He particularly stressed the importance of their producing plays by student au thors, thereby encouraging them to write more. Aside from the theatre, Sir Philip's remarks were very limited; and although he said that he thought the University's campus was the most beautiful he had yet seen, he also said that the average American 'stu dent would be overcome by the beauty if he went to an English university. He declined to make comparisons between the stu dents of the two countries on the grounds that it might be em barrassing. i irtv-Seven 9 tudent Body Inaugurated Staff Tryouts Any persons wishing to try out for the sports or reportorial staff of the Daily Tar Heel are requested to see Managing Editor French in the office of the publication, Alumni building, this after noon at 1:30 o'clock.

Bailey of Raleigh has accepted an invita tion to address the second an- rnial congress of the North Carolina Federation of Students at Duke University, Saturday, May 16. In a letter to John Lang, president of the Federa tion, Senator Bailey yesterday announced his acceptance of the invitation and expressed his great interest in the work of the Student Federation. The Senator said that he was a very busy man, but that he could not well afford to miss the oppor tunity of addressing the future leaders of North Carolina. The subject of Senator Bai ley's address to the Federation will be "What the . Nation ex pects of its Youth," and it is be lieved that the Senator will use this subject as an opportunity to express many of his liberal views on government and society which will govern his future work in the United States Senate. The program for the meeting of the second annual congress of the Federation is as yet incom plete, but already there are a number of interesting events be ing arranged for this affair. Besides Senator Bailey's speech, President Ed R. Murrow, of the National Student Federation, President . Few of Duke, and several college professors and experts will also address the con gress on various phases of stu dent life and activity.

Greene and Albright Urge More Frequent Student Meetings For Problem Discussion. A new custom was begun in the University yesterday morn ing when, at chapel period, thirty-seven campus officers for the ensuing year w7ere formally inaugurated. The band played on the steps ofMemorial hall as the officers-elect assembled on the stage and the audience was being seated. R. C. Greene, outgoing presi dent of the student union, intro duced Frank Graham, president of the University, who remind ed the group of the responsibil ity conferred upon them, in he ing selected as the most fit repre sentatives of the student body. "Student government began in the Di and Phi societies," Mr. Graham- began, "and later, con trol passed from the societies to the classes. For a while, the president of the senior class was always president of the student body, and the, other class of f i- -cers were members of the stu-, dent council. .The editors of the Tar Heel, Yackety Yack, and Carolina Magazine were chosen alternately - from the Di and Phi, and from the fraternities. But the post-war period brought about the election of the student officers from the campus at large, and with few exceptions, this practice has .continued to the present. "The World War period found a spirit ot militarism at the University, and this was follow ed by a cynicism, which grad ually caused the disappearance of old traditions. Modern mail delivery brought an end to the habit of using the post office as a favorite gathering place for the student body, likewise the old well is no longer a favorite retreat. In the old days; daily meetings of the entire student body in chapel were the rule, but now only freshmen and sophomores attend chapel, ir regularly. "We have involved from mili- tarism to the hqnor system . which we employ today. I am confident that the present state of depression throughout the country will give way to the realization and rebirth of ideal ization of the campus. In Ra leigh today, the State is strip ping itself to its bare essentials in order that we may be able to maintain our high standing. So I hope that you students here will adopt a truer sense of responsibility and strip your selves of all apparent wasteful ness. I would like to see the re vival of monthly student meet ings to discuss questions of timely interest. "I have watched the deve lopment of student government by student leaders and have noted a gradual decline in drink ing, cheating, and gambling when taken under student con trol. In you new officers lies the responsibility to take your stand towards a greater Univer sity of North Carolina.!' Greene then gave a summary of the activities of the student council for the past year, and stated that 110 cases were dealt with. There were sixty-four probations and twenty-eight (Continued on next page) (Continued on last page)
