THEATRE FEATURE
Planned Production of "Ham

cause of Over-Crowded Sched
ule for Next Two Weeks.
-WILL SUBSTITUTE COMEDY
The directors of the Carolina
Playmakers have decided to
-postpone the Forest theatre pro
duction of "Hamlet," it was an
nounced yesterday.
A cumulation oi tneatre activities-has
rendered it inad
visable to attempt so major a
production of the play at pres
ent With the Dramatic Fes
tival and the Dogwood Festival,
both of which consumed an un
precedented amount of Playmak--er
time, just over, with the pro
duction of the Junior Playmak
ers coming off Saturday, with
studio productions scheduled,
and with the Playmakers tour
to the National Folk Festival in
St. Louis taking some of the
actors cast for '"Hamlet" away
from rehearsals for nearly two
weeks,, the directors feel that a
production of "Hamlet" rushed
through in two weeks time
-would be too prodigious an un
dertaking. May Improve Theatre , ,
"7h"view of the fact the For
est theatre may, under the new-set-up
of the State Emergency
iielief administration, be im
proved soon by lighting equip
ment and adequate seating ar
rangements, Professors Koch,
Selden, and Davis believe that
ihe production of "Hamlet
would be more appropriate any
way as a dedication performance
:fcr the remodeled amphitheatre,
Outdoor theatres are definite
ly suggested as projects under
the new set-up, and the build
ings and grounds committee of
ihe University has approved
plans for improvement of thfc
Playmakers Forest theatre.
Plans for Project
Plans call for a boundary wall
of native stone, stone seats fol
lowing the natural slope of the
theatre floor, a director's hut
equipped with switchboard,
permanent scientific wiring of
ihe whole theatre, enlarged
dressing rooms, and a stone
colonade entrance to the theatre.
The improvement of the For
est theatre is a part of Dr.
Coker's project for the improve
ment of Battle Park, making an
appropriate entrance to the
nark. A oath extending from?
ihe University aboretum to Bat
ile Park would make the whole
territory a large University
Park.
In place of "Hamlet" the
Carolina Playmakers will pro
duce May 24, 25, and 26, in the
Playmakers theatre, as the last
number on their season bill the
popular modern comedy, "The
Whole Town's Talking," by John
Emerson and Anita Loos.

DEBAT
CtMICUMPLAN
Di Stages Heated Discussion on
Question of One Required
Language and Alternatives for
Freshman Mathematics.
The Di senate passed through
one of the most heated sessions
it has witnessed this year at
its meeting Tuesday night in a
two hour discussion of the bill,
Resolved: That the curriculum
of the college of liberal arts be
revised so that students can
take either Latin or Greek in
the place of mathematics and so
that only one language will be
required. The bill was finally
tabled for further discussion at
the next meeting.
The senate from the very first
resolved itself into two distinct
ly differing groups, the one de
fending the bill on the grounds
that such a plan would enable
the student to follow the line of
study in which he felt the great
est interest and would permit
him to pass more rapidly into
the field in which he intends to
major, the other attacking the
query on the grounds that by
such an action the college would
be doing away with a part of
the curriculum which is essential
to any cultural education.
Bahnson Speaks
Before the senate entered its
debate Agnew Bahnson, presi
dent of the University club,
spoke on the topic, "Possible
Ways of Co-operation Between
the Di senate and the Univer
sity club." He placed three pro
posals before the group wbfch
are as follows: (1) checking
campus opinion on the projects
of the club through discussion
in the senate, (2) bringing pro
jects up in the senate which the
club can carry out, and (3) in
corporating the senators as
executives in the club.
At the next meeting of the
group a plan of floor organiza-

first time in the senate's ex
perience. A list of the bills that
will be placed before the society
at this meeting will be published
at an early date so that the
senators may prepare speeches.
Class Notice
Politicians and candidates are
reminded that classes will be
held today as usual.
