Had New York Run
The Butter and Egg Man ran
:for one year in New York, and
afterwards went on tour. New
York critics were unusually fav
orable towards the play, and
Hew York audiences, enthusias
tic.
The story concerns a naive,
whimsical lad from Chillicothe,
Ohio, who has a small fortune
and decides to go to New York
and produce ' plays. In New
York he meets two small-time
theatrical producers who have a
show that cannot last if new
money isn't soon forthcoming.
The Chillicothe youth, who looks
easy, invests $20,000 ; but the
play keeps pounding the rocks
just the same.
The second act, which New
Tork critics have acclaimed -as
one of the funniest acts ever

Six years ago a studious fresh
man applied to the University
news bureau for a job reporting
campus events. "You won'm
have much time to study, . but
you'll get an education, listening
to the addresses you'll have to
cover," the director warned him,
-explaining that the University
drew speakers from everywhere,
to speak on public issues much
discussed and on technical things
little known, and to p'ortray both
sides where there were two sides.
One month, and the freshman
was convinced, and still is con
vinced. The last group of speakers an
nounced by the Y. M. C. A. illus
trates how remarkably theUni
versity community iriaintaitis'its
policy of "an open platform to
able, honest and honorable rep
resentatives of all worthy causes
and peoples when brought to the
campus under the auspices of
duly recognized departments and
i organizations of the University
and its campus." Of these last
four men and women the "Y"
brought in, Mrs. Lindsay Pat

Salem woman, who has traveled

Valuable Donation
Dr. B. F. Royal, well known
surgeon of Morehead City, has
presented to the zoology depart
ment a large and valuable collec
tion of the birds of the United
States eastern coast-line. .The
collection includes specimens of
gulls, terns, ducks, shearwaters,
cormorant, commonly called the
"Bogue Sound Lawyer," pelican,
loon, gannet, the man-o -war
bird, and many others. -.
The man-o'-war bird, one of
the famous fliers of the world,
with a wing spread from tip to
tip of over seven feet, was taken
by Dr. Royal on a fishing line.
The bird, seeing the bait travel
ing through the water, on the end
of a trawling line, mistook it for'
a fish, swooped down, dived,
and swallowed the hook. The
birds have been stored until a
suitable case for them can be
found.
Dr. Royal received his bach
elor's degree from the Univer
sity in 1906, and is a graduate of
the medical school.

Variety of Speakers
The same day may see a suc
cessful writer explaining his
methods to a group of English
students, a sales manager or cot
ton broker talking finances to
commerce students, a great
scientist holding forth on the
wonders of some natural phe
nomena, a city manager ex
pounding municipal law to the
embryonic barristers, a political
leadertalkirig about issues of the
day, a tax expert explaining the
state tax situation to the. North
Carolina' Club.
The average student, of course,
can' not expect to find time to
hear them all, although a case is
reported where a student with a
record; who had to drop out of
school due to, finances, took a
smali-paying job in Chapel Hill,
that he might be able to spend a
year reading in the library and
hearing the lectures that come
here. The average student has
to select, but if he picks wisely,
the fact remains that the policy

ORATORIO ELIJAH
TO BE RENDERED
BY MUSIC GROUP
Chapel Hill Oratorio Society De
cides to Present Famous
Opus June 5.
At the weekly meeting Mon
day night in Hill music hall of
the Chapel Hill oratorio society
the executive committee of the
society placed before the mem
bers the proposition of present
ing the Elijah oratorio this
spring. The motion was unani
mously adopted and it was de
cided to give the performance
Sunday night, June 5. Professor
H. S. Dyer of the music depart
ment was vested with the power
to find the necessary soloists.
The society has been working
on this oratorio for some time,
having given a selection of num
bers from it early this winter in
Hill hall with an orchestral ac
companiment. The performance
June 5, however, will be the ora
torio in its entirety, with an or
chestral accompaniment of twenty-five
pieces.
Seniors and Guests Invited
The executive committee also
decided that in view of the loca
tion of this concert on the calen
dar of the Commencement sea
son, the seniors, their parents,
and guests, and alumni would be
especially invited to attend.
The Elijah oratorio, written
by Felix Mendelssohn, a Russian-Jew,
is probably the great
est oratorio ver written in dra
matic color, and the part of the
baritone soloist is recognized to
be the greatest piece of writing
for baritone voice in the entire
field of oratorios. Professor
Dyer has' just begun his task of
selecting the soloists but he an
nounces that George Bason prob
ably will be selected for the lead
role of baritone, a part , repre
senting Elijah, the prophet. Ba
son is at present away and may
not return to Chapel Hill in time
for the concert, in which case
someone else will have to be se
lected for the part.

Students To Assist
In Legal Aid Clinic
The following students in the

ing the summer months: A. J.
Stubbs, W. W. Johnson, L. S.
Hammond, H. S. Merrell, R. M.
Chamberlain, Homer Lyon, J. F.
Huskins, W. C. Medford, J. A.
Cannon, and J. M. Little..

school of the University.
The Duke legal aid clinic, the
first one to be organized in the
south, was founded last fall by
Professor John S. Bradway who
is its present director. The legal
aid clinic idea originated from
the need of means to bridge the
gap between law school training
for lawyers and the conditions
met in actual practice, and such
an organization combines legal
education with serviced

Handling of Organizations' Financial Affairs Requires Experience
And Complete Attention of Administrator at All Times,
Which Accounts for Growth of Agencies.
For the first time in the his
tory of North Carolina there
has been established in Chapel
Hill a financial business service
for fraternities known as the
Fraternity Supervision Service.
This service is managed and
directed by Dudley Miller who
came to Chapel Hill in Septem
ber of last year. He graduated
from the University of Missouri
in 1928 and then spent a year in
New York working for the
Chase National Bank. In the
spring of 1931 he received his
M. B. A. degree from the Har
vard Graduate School of Busi
ness Administration, and spent
the summer studying the var
ious fraternity business services
throughout the country.
Growth of Agencies
. The handling , of fraternity
financial affairs by outside
agencies that specialize in this
type of work has been in exist
ence in this country for about
ten5 years, and during the past
five years has increased from
five to about twenty such agen
cies throughout the country.
These fraternity supervision
services have met with marked
success wherever they have been
established and are well liked by
the local fraternal group, their
alumni members, the national
organization, and the college
authorities.
STUDENT COUNCIL
ANNOUNCES DATE
OF AWARD NIGHT
Plan to Present a Procrram of
j
Entertainment Rather Than
Mere Dry Awarding.
Haywood Weeks, president of
the student body, announced that
awards night will take place
Thursday, May 26, in Memorial
hall at 48:00 o'clock.
It is the intent of the student
council this year to present a pro
gram of amusement. Rather
than the usual boring procedure
of awarding charms and prizes
to the members of the student
body, the list of names of those
individuals receiving awards will
be read out, and the prizes given
to the men the following day.
This procedure will eliminate the
trip of each separate man to the
platform and the accompanying
time-taking applause.
Music for Occasion
The council has been trying to
secure Jack Baxter's Orchestra
to furnish music for the occasion
although no definite announce
ment has yet been made. The
University Band will in any case
entertain.
Billy Arthur will, in all likeli
hood, act as master of cere
monies. One of the novel fea
tures of the night's program will
be the presentation of a three
scene parody on Julius Caesar
participated in by prominent
members of the student body.
Campus personages and facul
ty members will present several
short skits. There will be sev
eral violin selections by Arlindo
Cate and Earl Wolslagel. Other
musical and specialty numbers
as well as several monologues are
to be given, and it is the inten
tion of the student council to pre
sent on awards night the best
program of its kind ever given
on the campus.
At present there are specializ
ed business services for fraterni
ties in Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Arkansas, ' Okla
homa, and North Carolina. While
this is a new type of business in
North Carolina and has not been
in existence long enough to prove
its real worth, it has been tried
for a number of years and has
proven successful in these other
states. .
The need for this type of
business service has been creat
ed by the rapid expansion of f ra-k
ternities, their increased invest
ments in physical property, their
increased business activities, and
their increase in numbers. With
large payments on the house to
meet, taxes and insurance to
pay, and the necessity of re
serves for depreciation, main
tenance, and repairs, it is im
possible to handle efficiently the
finances of the fraternity by
merely passing the manage
ment down every year from one
student to another.
; There is a demand for some
thing more thaii that, a need for
some means of continuity, some
one who will direct the affairs
of the chapter from year to
year, some one who is capable
of handling the finances . in a
business-like manner, some one
