American playwright and an

read his own Negro symphony
play entitled "Roll Sweet Chari

"Roll Sweet Chariot" was

duction in Milwaukee, and for
its world premiere in New York
in September.
The drama, with its distinc
tive idea and music, brought the
author a great deal of praise
from several of the outstanding
critics in this country. Brooks
Atkinson of the New York
Times wrote a lengthy article
for his paper on the subject of
Green's play.
The dramatic critic of the
Theatre Arts Monthly also de

Sweet Chariot" praising it as
one of the few modern dramas
to have the touch of real genius
and greatness. . .
Paul Green has returned to
Chapel Hill from New York,
where the play opened, and is
planning to spend a part of this
winter here. Last year he spent
much of his time in Hollywood
preparing scenarios for movie
producers.

Efficiency Expert at As
sembly Meeting.
The bill : Resolved, that every
person convicted by the student
council be given another chance,
was defeated by a vote of 28-22
in the Phi assembly last night.
At the suggestion of Jim Mi-
zelle, the Phi assembly, by
unanimous resolution condemned
the first copy of the Finjan as
a humorous Dublication.
M.
Olsen Speaks
Professor W. A. Olsen spoke
briefly to the assembly on the
purpose of the group.
"What is the purpose of the
Phi assembly?" asked Professor
Olsen as he began his series of
remarks as "efficiency expert"
at the session.
Olsen said that in his opinion
the purpose of the group was to
"match wit against wit, philoso
phy against philosophy."
"Too much parliamentary ma
chinery tends to restrict and to
make things formal," tie said.
"Too little parliamentary law
makes self-expression impossi
ble."
