STUDENTS TO STUDY PLAN Committee from Six Schools of Uni versity to Investigate. Opinion on Subject and Submit Findings. The division of the four-yearJ college course into two distinct parts has been the subject of discussion at recent faculty meetings. As yet no action has been taken by the faculty mem bers, and President Graham has requested student opinions and suggestions on this important matter. The Student Advisory board appointed committees from six schools to study the matter. The plan is to make the courses for the first two years alike for all students, and to give them a survey of social and economic conditions, as well as a mastery of fundamental tech niques, necessary in preparing them for their concentrated -work of the last two years. Tests After Second Year ; At the end of the sophomore year, a .test will be given to de termine the advisability of a stu- -dent s continuing in college, and "whether or not he is capable of obtaining a degree. ; - - - The committee suggests that the first two years be set up as a separate unit for administra tive and instructional purposes ; "that its administration be under the supervision of a dean and his advisory board; and that this administrative body coop erate with the departments in the choosing of instructors.

The cjub originally con centrated its efforts to improve spirit at athletic events, but is also working on a plan at pres ent to get the entire student body to support- the honor sys tem. When, the idea of such an or ganization was forwarded by interested men on the campus, it was received skeptically. They were told that they could never get the student body to work as & unit, and it was pointed out that the success of the club de pended on unity. However, representative men on the campus, fraternity and non-fraternity, 'were, asked to become members of a University WORKS PROJECT FOR UNIVERSITY NOW UNDER WAY Sum of $81,000 Will Provide for Unit of Civil Public Works on " Campus Improvements. 200 WORKERS GIVEN JOBS Word came from the office of the local civil works admini stration yesterday that a smoothly running organization has taken the place of the usual confusion attending the launch ing of local improvement pro grams. "Things are now being done," was the statement made in regard to the work. The University project, a com bination of six or eight proposals into one, is the largest and most important included in the pro gram for Orange county. A sum of 81,000 has been provided for this unit of the work alone. Such improvements as the lay ing of drain pipes, the recondi tioning and repainting of University-owned faculty homes, and the general improvement of the campus are being, made.

Six non-fraternity sopho mores were chosen from the campus, and each social fraterni ty sent a representative to the first meeting. Leaders of other campus groups were also made members of the club. y Future Looked Bad Still the skeptics said that the club would not be a success be cause it was impossible to get an uninterested student body to work with it. And so, when the club started it had no pres tige, and little bope for 'getting any. During ; the spring "quar ter, or rather what was left of it, and the first part of the cur rent football season, the mem bers of the club worked, "talk ing it up" among their student friends. The spirit on the campus at the firsfpart of the season was nothing to write home about. However, when the Georgia Tech game approached, the Uni versity club sponsored a decora tions contest for Homecoming Day. During the entire week, student spirit ran high, and it reached its peak that Saturday when the student body, went to Kenan stadium and cheered the team into a fighting frenzy. Georgia Tech barely managed to eke out a win, and the club re ceived the lion's share of the (Continued on last page) PROBABLE CAROLINA Wt. Pos. VIRGINIA Wt. Frankel 166 LJS. Leys 160 Tatum 201 L.T.

For years the students in the University have honored and preserved it. ' But each year there entered the Uni versity more and more students of different, character and per sonality!. . As a result there have, in re cent years when the enrollment reached into the two thousands, been more than, a usual number been more han a usual number of violations of the honor sys- forcement than had formerly held the students so strictly to the system. System Weakening When it became perceptible to the student body that the hon or system was weakening, steps were taken immediately to build it. back to the high place it will always hold in the mind of the real Carolina student. Further action was taken this fall when a group of students secretly banded together and agreed to report offenses to which they might be witnesses. These students had realized that it was not only necessary to ob serve the honor system them selves, but that they had to re- FALL DANCE SET TO 0PENT0NIGHT Informal Affair to Be Staged From 9:30 to 1:00 O'clock; Gill's Band Will Play. The annual f all dance series of the German club will open tonight at 9:30 o'clock in the Tin Can with an inf ormal dance, tickets to which non-members of the organization may obtain for; $2. The schedule for the remain ing dances in the series follows : tomorrow afternoon from 4:30 to 6:00 o'clock; tomorrow even ing from 9:30 to 1:00 o'clock; Saturday morning from 11 :30 to 1:30 o'clock; Saturday after noon from 4:30 to 6:30 o'clock; arid Saturday evening from 9 :00 to 12:00 o'clock. , I Emerson Gill to Play Emerson Gill and his orches tra, famous organization from Ohio, will play for the entire set of dances. The group is an other band which left a univer sity campus to gain great popu larity in "big time." ' . While at Ohio State Univer sity, trill was persuaded by his fraternity brothers to organize. (Continued on page two) LINE-UPS port offenses. The action taken by this small group paved the way for others, and gave a re cent, positive precedent for the student body to follow. Having the way so definitely shown, the students responded, and more violations were report ed and the honor system began to climb back to its former place. Students Get Control The faculty, encouraged by the activity . of these students and the student council, decided to turn complete control of the honor system over to the stu dents. lUpori s a -recommendation of the faculty executive commit tee, backed" up by the student council, they voted to give the council complete responsibility and power to enforce it to try students charged with violation. This is in keeping with the spir it of the system. These actions, and the ever increasing determination of the students to see that it is en forced have already had con siderable effect. Each week there is less cheating and, though some still remains, it is hoped that it will soon disappear from the University, and that the honor system will again hold the high position it once enjoy ed. IBANDS TO REVIVE 90-YEAR-OLD SONG Organizations from University And Lenoir High School to Play "Grand March." The "Grand March of the University of North Carolina" written 90 years ago by Gustave O. Blessner and forgotten for many years, will be revived and played at the game today by the University band and the Lenoir high school band. The march was written for the commencement exercises of 1844. Bertram Smith of Char lotte, an alumnus of the class of '04 recently found the original manuscript and sent'a photosta tic copy of it here. From this copy the University music, de partment made the band ar rangement which will be played today. ; , ' Blessner, who was a music teacher in Raleigh, was not an alumnus of the University and the ; records do not show what motivated him to write this piece. According to members of the music department the mu sic is not at all old-fashioned and the melody is called attrac tive."

The pres ( Continued on page two) Playmakers Continue Notable Work As One Of Leading Campus Groups One of the institutions at the University which has become re nowned throughout the country is the Carolina Playmakers, a dramatic organization ' which each year produces, besides reg ular professional plays, the one act pieces which are written by students studying at the Uni versity. A little theatre in itself, the Playmakers have their own staff of technicians, make their own scenery, act in the plays, write and direct plays for production. At the beginning of each year, the staff of paid instructors of the Playmakers which includes Sam Selden, Harry and Ora Mae Davis, with Professor Frederick H. Koch at the head, plan a ten tative schedule which is folowed as nearly as possible throughout the' year. " "House of Connelly" The first regular production for this year was one of Paul Green's most successful plays, "House of Connelly," which had a long run in New York and is now being made into a talking picture on the west coast. Under the able direction of the capable Sam Selden, a group of about twenty-five students presented to the public this dif ficult play of the struggle be tween the old south and the new. The scenery for this play was Carolina Eleven Ruled Slight Favorite To Take Virginians. With the student body and village thriving off the excite ment produced by today's clas sic gridiron struggle between Carolina and Virginia, Head Coach "Chuck" Collins went ahead yesterday with the final preparations for the Cavalier invasion by working with his charges until dusk enveloped Kenan stadium. . The Tar Heel mentor paced the Carolina gridsters through their final practice of the year by working his linemen over time, polishing the offense. Back field Coach Al Howard pressed the ball-carriers through their offensive formations. . Although the team is not in' the "pink of condition" still ail ing from injuries sustained in the Duke struggle, the North Carolina club will be in a much improved physical shape. That is with the possible exception of Emmett Joyce, fine sophomore guard, who is not expected to play, according to Trainer Quin lan's announcement. Five Play Last " ' Five Tar Heels will sing their swan song today, donning the blue and white of Carolina for the last time. They are Captain Bill Croom', brilliant' backfield ace ; Bill Collins, steady tackle ; Jule Frankel and George Brandt, stellar- ends ; and Kay Thomp son, another star back.

The play had a successful run in Chapel Hill for three days and . has since played in Greensboro and Wil son. Paul Green, once a member of the Playmakers and now a faculty member at the Univer sity, donated the royalties of the play, making the production of the piay possible. This was the first time it had been present ed south of the Mason-Dixon line. ' -" Experimental Drama. After the presentation of ten experimental plays .which were written in English 55, instructed ' by 'Prof Koch and Sam Selden, three of these plays "were chosen for public production and . an other which was written in Colo rado last summer was added to the bill. - There are members in the play writing class from many different parts of the country.
