Of these, about 200 sire graduate students. Green Pastures," the' greatest theatrical success of modern times. . Roark Wickliffe Bradford was born on the banks of the Missis sippi in Tennessee. He received his early education at home, but later attended public schools. Just before the outbreak of the World War he achieved his LL.B degree. He entered the army and was not discharged until 1920. " His first position was on the staff of the Hearst publication, The Georgian, in Atlanta. After two years there, he went to Lou isiana, where he ran a country newspaper for six months. From there he went to New Orleans and became a copy reader for the Times-Picayune. -He soon graduated to the night city desk,. and finally reached the exalted position of Sunday editor. This post gave him enough leisure time to devote himself to crea tive writing. Roark Bradford's first litera ry effort was "Child of God:" which won for the author im mediate fame and the Henry) return tomorrow. prize lor the year. Since the appearance of this book in 1927. Bradford's works have met with pronounced success. He is the author of "John Henrv." "OP King David and the Philistine Boys," "Kingdom Coming," and 01' Man Adam and His Chil lun," which inspired the writing ol "The Green Pastures." Bradford understands the Ne gro nature and temperament, and it was this, coupled with his ability to recreate these people on paper, that earned him his well-deserved success. Marc Connelly read "01' Man Adam and His Chillun," and immedi ately realized the great dramatic possibilities of these sketches. Although Roark Bradford is a famed author, he also deserves much of his credit for the suc cess of a great play, for without the drama that he poured into his book, Connelly would never have written "The Green Pas tures." -.. ; Governor Moore said that within two weeks Hauptmann will be extradited to New Jersey, Jersey officials have proceeded with the utmost caution in pre paring their case, making sure that they shall have enough evi dence to secure conviction. Charged with Murder As soon as these truebills are signed, Hauptmann will be taken to New Jersey charged with the actual murder of the Lindbergh child. Meanwhile in the Bronx, there is every indication that District Attorney Samuel Foley is pre pared to go to trial on the ex tortion charges with the evi dence already amassed. Foley has said that at least three psychiatrists are to ex amine Hauptmann and that he wants . several physicians to represent him at the test. A mysterious man. whose identity was unrevealed, tonight gave authorities what he de scribed as "an important angle" on the case. He was questioned for an hour and instructed to "Vault The Vols, Take The South" ' : , With the battle-cry "Vault the Vols and Take the South!", loyal Carolina supporters are prepar ing for the fireworks of Satur day's all-important football match with Tennessee's Volun teers .. .. . . That such a powerful oppon ent is to be met in an early-season game has made it all the more necessary that students give their intense support to the brilliant 1934 team, it is felt. Some students even feel that up on the outcome of Saturday's en gagement will depend the issue of whether Carolina will have a brilliant or mediocre season on the gridiron. At any rate, University club officials and other spirited cam pus leaders have planned a huire torchlight parade for Friday nignt with a bonfire celebration following on Emerson field. Willingham Speaks Frank Willingham, new Uni versity club head, had this to say yesterday: "We feel that if ever Carolina comes to the aid of its team with enthusiastic support in the form of cheering at the pep ral lies and games, now is the time for that action. Tennessee will be tough and every student should give all they've got to back the team Saturday after- ! noon. Somehow, I feel that the proverbially-powerful Carolina spirit needs a little prodding. Let's get going and send those great -Tar Heels . crashing through Tennessee and the en tire south this fall." The cheering at the Wake Forest game was quite disap pointing to Cheerio officials, who feel that members 'of the student body owe it to the gridders to put more pep in the stands at Kenan. Let's go, Carolina. "Vault the Vols and Take the South!" P. U.

Graham Says Board Is Not Under Obligation Board Is Not Oblisrated hv j Precedent or Constitution to Handle Editorial Policy. The Publications Union board yesterday disclaimed any right or duty to act as censors for the new "Finjan" by refusing to comply with the Student coun cil's request to appoint two members for the campus board which will pass on the material to be published in the magazine. The action came after a letter from President Frank Graham to one of the members was quoted. Graham advised the board that it was not obligated by precedent or constitution to entangle itself in matters of edi torial policy. Student Policy The board also stated that it did not consider it in keeping with the policy of student con trol of. publications to have two thirds of a censors board ap pointed by a group which itself ' has two faculty members. Having abolished the Bucca neer and established a humor magazine devoted to a higher type of wit, the Student "council had informed the Publications Union board that it was expect ed to appoint from its number v or elsewhere two censors.
