The program, which will be given in the theatre, consists of numbers newly written and spontaneously produced for this occasion. .

' o - " : Review of Past Session Shows Uf Jbxtra-Curricular Activities Engaged in By University Students. ' ; 0- By Otto S. Steinreich In reviewing the activities en gaged in by University students during the past academic year it is found that more persons par ticipated in the various fields of endeavor than ever before. Sev eral of the athletic teams enjoy ed their most successful seasons in years. The glee club al though not competing in inter collegiate competition made sev eral successful appearances. The Entertainment Commit tee selected an admirable pro gram for presentation before the student body and their efforts were, in the main, greatly ap preciated. The debating team met several outstanding, oppon ents but did not go on their northern trip, but they enjoyed very successful year on the campus. Tennis Record - . , i The 1931 tennis team, per-! haps, has made the most admir able record of any team ever to represent the University. Af ter defeating all comers in the south they traveled to the north where they romped over the best teams which the north had to of fer. Unable to enter Bryan Grant and Wilmer Hines, num ber one and two respectively, Coach Kenfield entered Ed Yeo mans and Hinkey Hendlin, num ber three and four respectively, who won the Southern Confer ence doubles championship. Yeo mans was one of the finalists in the singles division while Hend lin went, to the semi-finals. Grant, Hines, Yeomans, and Hendlin are entered in the Na tional Intercollegiate Tourna ment to be held at the Merion country club, Haverford, Penn sylvania beginning June 22. The baseball team has just completed its most successful seasons in eleven years. Witjti a record of sixteen victories four losses and two ties, one victory being the first one over Duke in four years, and the Tri-State League championship under their belts, this year's edition of Tar Heel batsmen may well feel proud of themselves. Committee Approves Experimental Play The experimental play, Rest for My Soul, by Anne Wishart Braddy, which was presented Thursday night, and submitted in partial fulfilment of the re quirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the depart ment of English was accepted by the committee. This is the first time that a play has been offered for an M. A. degree. The 'committee, consisting of Professors Coffman, MacMillan, and Koch, found the play en tirely satisfactory, in the writ ing, as well as the casting and directing which was also done by Miss Braddy. It is interest ing to note that the author wrote her first play under Mr. Koch during the summer session of 1926 at Columbia University. The name of this play was Jultanna, and showed j even at that time her knowledge of Georgia, the scene of action Of Rest for My Soul. No Infirmary List There was no one confined to the infirmary yesterday. Progress Made . Along All Lines Football Reviewed Coach Collins, working with a bunch of rookies, whipped to gether a team which performed creditably, but by no means brilliantly. Opening the season with a poor showing Against Wake Forest the team improved until they played Georgia when their steady rise was abruptly terminated by the fast charging, hard tackling Bulldogs. As is often the case, the spirit was willing but the flesh was weak and the rookie Tar Heel line could not withstand the sharp thrusts of "Ripper" Roberts & Co. Against Tennessee Carolina lost by the close score of 9-7. Bobby Dodd, All-American quar terback, kicked the field goal which gave the Vols their nar row margin of victory. Caro lina's defeat at the hands of Davidson on a muddy field can be explained only by the fact that the Wildcats outfought the Tar Heels, who had the edge in the way of weight and in the number of reserves. The severe trouncing given to Virginia in the annual Thanksgiving day melee partly made up for the losses sustained during the year. The mud battle with Duke played under water throughout, resembled a water polo game more than anything else. The merits and defects of both teams were, alike concealed under a thick coating of mud. Track Figures The track team continued its usual custom of defeating all southern opponents in dual meets. A loss to Penn State was the onlv blemish on the dual meet record of the season. Af ter winning the Southern Indoor championship and State cham pionship, the Tar Heels, much crippled by injuries, took fourth place in the Southern Conference meet at Birmingham. The basketball team, under the leadership of Captain Artie Marpet, finished their season with eight losses out of twenty one starts. In the Southern (Continued on last page) Educational Alliance Makes Jewish Loans Applications are invited for loans (not .exceeding $250 per annum) from the scholarship funds of the: Educational Alii ance, New York City. These loans are made without interest or any other charge of any kind and are required to be repaid, subsequent to tjie appli cant's graduation not necessarily in one amount or at one time. They are intended primarily for the benefit of Jewish stu dents who must have shown marked ability and whose cir cumstances are such as to make it difficult or impossible- for them to continue or complete their studies. It is suggested that applicants in this institution make their ap plications through the dean of students. Lamp Posts Dry for Week-end Lamp posts on the streets of Chapel Hill and on the campus are expected to be dry for use late Saturday night, after hav ing received several coats of green paint lately. History Department Loses Four Members The History department will suffer a severe loss next year in the departure of four mem bers of the department. K. C. Frazer, assistant professor of government, is on leave and will spend most of next year abroad. Instructors S. B. Barnes, R. D. Meade, and D. C. Corbitt, how7 ever, have handed in their re signations. Mr. Corbitt is going back to Candler College in Hav ana, Cuba, where he taught two years ago, and Mr. Meade is planning to complete his re sidence course for his Ph. D. Names of the professors ac cepted in the place of these four have not been made known. PLANS LAID FOR LODGING ALUMNI Seniors and Townspeople Invited To Attend Alumni Luncheon Monday. Carr dormitory, Old East, Old West, and Steele will be used by the alumni during commencement week, it was an nounced yesterday by the alum ni secretary.

Any of these stu dents that are intending to stay here . for the commencement exercises may have their be longings moved to another room by the building department free of charge. Alumni Luncheon Also, in connection with the coming Alumni day, the Daily Tar Heel has been asked to em phasize the invitation which was given out sometime ago that all members of the class of '31 were cordially invited and even urged to attend the regular alumni luncheon which is set for Monday, June 8, at one o'clock and also the alumni ball on that night. Jack Wardlaw has been obtained to supply the music. The dance is to follow President Graham's reception and will take place in the Tin Can. The luncheon is to be served in Swain hall for the nominal sum of one dollar, and is open to those townspeople that are connected with the University in any way. In the near past of these have refrained from coming because of the im pression that it was strictly a graduate affair, instead they are invited to attend. K, P. Lewis, president of the alumni associa tion, will preside and President Graham will be the principal speaker. There have been three nViPr notable sneakers invited to say a very few words. Last Chance To Get Senior Invitations Today between the hours of 9:00 and 12:00 will be the last chance for those seniors who or dered invitations to secure them from the Book Exchange. Ed Hamer, chairman of the invitation committee, asks the seniors to be sure and secure these invitations today. NUMBER 1S4 HENDERSON ADDS NEW VOLUMES TO' PLAY COLLECTION Library Announces Addition of 700 Plays to; American Drama Collection. The University of North Caro lina library announced yesterday that 700 plays have just been added to the Archibald Hender son Collection of American drama. This brings the total of the collection up to 1350, Dr. Henderson having given the li brary 650 volumes of plays when the collection was inaugurated in October, 1929. Representative Drama Collected over a long period, these volumes are said to rep resent almost every phase of the changing tastes of American theatregoers. Many of the books are rare and valuable and could be duplicated only with great difficulty. In presenting the collection, Dr. Henderson said, "I have been collecting American plays for . many years, and as a North Carolinian I am especially in terested in American drama be cause the first American trag edy ever to be produced on the American stage was written in Wilmington. I take especial pleasure in presenting this col lection to the University of North Carolina, pre-eminent among all the state universi ties in the field of drama in that it gave course credit for plays produced by the students here in 1796, almost 125 years be fore the " Carolina Playmakers were founded." First American Tragedy Speaking further of the first American tragedy produced pro fessionally, Dr. Henderson said: (Continued on last page) VAN HECKE LISTS HONOR VIOLATORS OF STUDENT BODY Forty-Two Cases Have Been Brought Before Faculty Com mittee During Year. Forty-two students, involved n twenty-five cases, have been called before the Faculty Execu- ive committee so far this college year, for alleged violations of the honor system. All of these cases have been reported to the committee by members of the faculty. One case concerned the mutilation of a library book. The others related to cheating in connection with notebooks, reports on readings, laboratory exercises, themes, quizzes, and examinations. Of these forty-two students, twenty-nine were freshmen, seven were sophomores, three were juniors, and three were seniors. Twenty of the forty-two con fessed their guilt; twenty-two" denied it. Five men were exonerated; ten had the charges against them dismissed for lack of evidence; and twenty-seven re ceived penalties ranging from being required to drop a course to suspension from the Univer sity for two quarters.
