Something entirely different lias been the theme song of the Carolina Playmakers' scene shop in preparing the new sets for the Playmakers production of Paul Green's -"Shroud My Body Down" set for Friday and Saturday night and Saturday afternoon. ' Samuel Selden, technical di rector of the Playmakers, and Wilbur Dorsett, member of the scene-makers staff, have 'com bined efforts to carry out Paul Green's instructions for the building of scenery that will reflect the "style of a marion ette "show.'' The new settings suggest the marionette idea en larged. Two Scenes . The two different scenes for "Shroud My Body Down" show the edge of a wide tobacco field and the front yard and inside of the Graham farm house. In 'the first scene, the action takes place around an old grave in the corner of the foreground and the story is enacted by the passers-by. The second set promises to be one of the outstanding produc tions of the Playmakers scene shop. The setting shows the yard of the Graham farmhouse with the bunkhouse in one cor ner and the house in the other. The walls of the house have been cut away so as to show the in side, including the dining-room, kitchen, Lora's , bedroom, Mr. Graham's room and the front porch. Selden and his cohorts admitted that it was a big prob lem to build such a setting for a stage with only 18 feet for. an opening. ' Plans are being made for the setting for the' second scene to be placed on rollers and those in charge announced yesterday that the change in the settings would be . made in one minute exactly.

' Not" one was sympa thetic,", he -bemoaned. "It looks like somebody ought to feel sor ry' about this beating.. ' "And," he added, "most of the telegrams came collect. "The vultures are gnawing at my vitalsi not the lions." "Adopted" Child You remember Senator Long was the one who "adopted" the Louisiana football team. He boasted about its prowess, of what it would do to the various teams throughout the country; of how it could beat Minnesota ana Alabama botn m tne same day. But when the Kingfish want ed it to deliver the most, his team failed. The team that beat it, Tulane, University of New Orleans, is its. most ancient and bitter football rival. For 32 years they have been playing, and the one that wins considers any season successful. '. No Trip Saturday Louisiana plays Tennessee at Knoxville Saturday, but the Kingfish isn't going to take a group of Louisiana students up there to see the game.

The principal bill for discus sion: Resolved, That all laws prohibiting the spread and dis tribution of birth control litera ture be repealed, was defeated by a count of 14-13. An amendment to the consti tution providing that all bills, instead of being introduced di rectly to the floor, must first have the sanction of the speak er or the ways and means com mittee was brought forward by Representative Stuart Rabb. Af ter two vote-counts, the neces sary two thirds majority was obtained and the amendment was passed by ' a vote of 22-11. Yes? No? Maybe? Speaker Robert Smithwick first held that the motion had been defeated. He then an nounced that it had passed, only to state again a moment later that it had been defeated. The final tally, however, made the vote certain. Said Speaker Smithwick at the conclusion of the discussion : "I fine you all ten cents." Representative Rabb explain ed during the discussion that the new amendment would pre vent the discussion on the floor of the Phi Assembly of bills which might, regardless of the vote, reflect the ill-will of the campus on the assembly. Speaker Smithwick announced that there will be an election for the new officers of the Phi As sembly at next Tuesday's meet ing. There will also be an initi ation for all -prospective mem bers.

Traveling Fiddler Enchants Audience Irvin Rouse, Trouper, Plays For Students on Streets. Play, fiddle, play,, and earn me a living. That is the philosophy of little Irvin Rouse, and with it he has traveled the entire Atlantic Sea board from Florida to Canada, last night including Chapel Hill in his tour as he played in front of Pritchard-Lloyd pharmacy. For Irvin Rouse is a trouper, and a trouper plays whenever there is an audience. He would take his fiddle and play anything you wished, for this -violinist played by ear. No music, never even a lesson, he "just picked it up." And so for five years he has wandered from his home in New Bern, playing as Kreisler never played. Positions Starting in conventional vio lin style, Irvin would change his fiddle position from under his arm to over his head, behind his back, below his knees, anywhere in fact; and all in the twinkling of an eye. Thrusting the bow into the hands of an astonished listener, he would continue play ing without missing a note, run ning his violin up and down the bow that anyone could hold. Then the bow would switch to Irvin's mouth, then drop to his knees, and with a, click would lay at his feet, almost trained. Never once did the fiddle screech a misnote. Nor did Irvin ever refuse to nlav a request. And the shower of nickles and dimes repaid him for his efforts. ROOSEVELT ASKS HELP T-VT- ttT TnVTlT 71 T7IT7IT T fXTC Warm Springs, Ga., Dec. 4.- (UP) President Roosevelt an nounced tonight that he would ask Congress to lift restrictions on. 600,000 "little f ellows" who are now subject to the terms of the Bankhead Cotton Control act. ; At the same time, however, Roosevelt reiterated that produc tion control as a whole would be continued as a definite govern ment policy, in hopes that after three crops or so the cotton sur plus would be reduced to the pre war level of approximately 4, 000,000 bales. i Band Equipment AH members of the University band a?e requested to turn in their music and band coats im mediately, announced Earl Slo cum; director of the band, yesterday. Plans of Speaker Are Authoritative Talk Will Concern Work of Fed eral Power Commission and Other Power Development. LECTURER U.N.C. ALUMNUS Using "Power Plans i. n d Problems" as his subject, Frank R. McNinch, chairman of the Federal Power Commission, will speak in Gerrard hall this eve ning at 8 o'clock. Standing in the inner circle of national affairs McNinch will speak directly from the admin istration. His plans in power development are considered as authoritative since the import ant duties entrusted to him have carried him into every phase of national power. His talk this evening will em brace several aspects of the work of the Federal Power Com mission and other governmental power development. Surveys The commission is now con ducting three surveys, the Na tional Power Survey, the Elec tric Rate Survey, and an inquiry into the cost of electrical distri bution. McNinch as head of the commission was also direct ed to suggest a program of -public works. After studying law at the Uni versity before beginning prac tice in Charlotte in 1900, Mc Ninch was elected to the Legis lature and acted as war-time mayor of Charlotte, serving two terms from 1917 to 1921. He has wide experience in public affairs in North Carolina as well as the nation at large. He was appointed to the Fed eral Power C6mmission in 1930 when that body was organized and was designated by the Presi dent as chairman upon the resignation of Dr. George Otis Smith in 1933. COUNCIL FAVORS ANTI-WAR ACTION Sending Representative to Na tional Council Approved. At the meeting of the Student Council in Graham Memorial Monday night the motion was made and passed that the coun cil favor the sending of Carl Thompson or Phillips Russell to the Geneva Anti-war Confer ence. Another motion passed was that a delegate from the Univer sity be sent to represent the campus publications at the Na tional Student Council to be held in Boston, Mass., from Decem ber 28 to January 1. Virgil Weathers was selected to repre sent the Student Council and al so to be the official representa tive of the University. The action of the council in sanctioning the sending of del egates to the Anti-War Confer ence has no official bearing on those plans. It merely signifies that the council approves of this action of the local anti-war con ference. Freshman Meetings Dean Hobbs will meet fresh men of the liberal arts school this morning during the regular chapel period in Gerrard hall. Commerce school freshmen will convene with Dean Carroll in Memorial hall at the same time. V
