Work on the Egyptian papy rus, given to the archeological department by M. P. Gilmour, is progressing rapidly. A few days ago the payrus was sent away to be repaired and mounted, and so far it has been unrolled about eighteen inches. Inscribed in red and black ink J with hieroglyphics and illus trations, it is found to be, as was surmised, a Book of the Dead. The payrus was damaged in Egypt by white ants and before it can be mounted it must be re paired by experts. Rather than unroll it entirely in the mount ing, it will probably be mounted partly unrolled in order that the student may get an idea of the appearance of the original papyrus roll and its contents. This gift will constitute the nucleus of the new collection made by the archeological de partment.

Two hundred and forty-seven students : took part in some phase of the Playmakers pro ductions during the past session of the University, making this the busiest home year that the dramatic organization has ever experienced. A total of fifty five plays were produced in The Playmakers Theatre by the or ganization itself and thirty-four other programs were put on by j professional companies and high school organizations. When no tours were taken on account of prevailing business conditions throughout the country, The Playmakers concentrated their activities in their own theatre at Chapel Hill, and writing, acting, costuming, designing, produc ing, directing, and technical and business work each claimed its votaries. As a result, the procession of rehearsals, read ings, exhibits, lectures, and actual productions has over flowed the theatre and made ne cessary the use of the scene shop in Person hall as an auxiliary as well as the Parish house of the Episcopal church and, the stage of the recently constructed Memorial hall. , Outside Attractions One hundred and seventy-five one-act plays were written dur ing "the year and of these thirty- two were given production in the theatre, two of these being full-length plays. Among, the outside attractions given were seven productions by profes sional companies, including the Ben Greet players, the Jitney players, and the Sue Hastings marionettes, two programs of original folk music and one reading of an original folk opera, The Mountain Song, by a Pulitzer prize winning com poser, Lamar Stringfield. There were4 seven public readings of plays by professional . play wrights, including Green Groio the Lilacs, a week after its New York premiere, and Cherokee Night by the author himself, Lyn Riggs, and Tread ' the Green Grass, by Paul Green, Carolina Pulitzer winner. Eight lectures on the theatre were given by such ! prominent visi tors as Percy MacKaye, Bar rett Clark, Lynn Riggs, Phillips Russell, and Paul Green. Scene Shop In the technical? department The Playmakers have also been extre'mely active this year. They equipped a new scene shop ini -r- i n f ii i Plans for the 136th annual jommencement of the University this June have at last been com pleted. Copies of the program for the exercises and entertain ments have, been sent out to over three thousand alumni whose classes are scheduled to meet here for Alumni day, Monday, June, 8. . , ; , I U. N.

Also, two special programs have been given The Annual Twelfth Night Revel, TheAnnual Caper, and a radio performance of an original one-act play, Git Up Art Bar theJDoor, a Mississippi folk play. Dramatic Festival As a center of the, state's in terest in dramatics, the Play makers Theatre was the scene of the annual Dramatic Festival of the Carolina Dramatic associa tion, when the high schools and colleges throughout the state put on twenty plays, six of which -were original. One, Ridin' the Goat, was written by a JSe gro and acted by students from St. Augustine's College for Ne groes at Raleigh. Forty-seven students have been given intensive training and practical work in acting, di recting, and scenery design, and construction in regular Univer sity courses, while fifty-five have been enthusiastically en gaged in original damatic writ ing. .. ' All in all, the Carolina Play makers, in- sixty-eight perfor mances, played to more than 15,000 persons in their small theatre at Chapel Hill since September. be represented at the alumni re union, including those of '81, '91, '92, '93, 794, '01, '06, '10, '11; '12, '13, and '30.

City Fathers Arrange Next Year's Budget Graham Memorial Union building will be used during the coming year. Such was the overwhelming decision of the campus on the basis of the elec tion which was run off all day yesterday. The final tabulation showed 806 votes for and seventy-four against the proposition that a fee of one dollar a quar ter be levied on all students for the maintenance and furnishing of this student center. Organization Meeting With this favorable decision the work of organization and equipment which have been held up until this election will now go forward. These various groups have already been chos en and consist of students, fac ulty, and alumni. The meeting of the board of directors of the union will take place today, and everyone having suggestions as to what uses could be made of the building and to whom the various activity rooms should be assigned will have the opportun ity to express themselves. The ballot stressed another mportant fact that the total fees of only the freshman and sophomore classes will in reality be changed; The three dollars a year will be added to their pres ent fee of a dollar and a half. The junior and senior classes will pay the same total amount hat they have been paying dur ing the past, for three dollars will be r transferred from their present fee to the Graham Me morial fund. The reason for this is that these fees have been found to be too high -anyway, (Continued on last page) GIRLS TO DISCUSS COTTONQUESTION Two High School Students Wrill Appear Here in State-Wide Contest.
