UNIVERSITY CLUB BEGINS SELECTION OF NEW MEMBERS Club Sanctions Co-ed Member ship; Plans Final Business. The University Club last night went through the first proce dures in voting in new members. The Kst-of candidates will not be announced ana tne new mem bership will be made public only after the , initiation ceremonies three weeks from last night. Co-ed membership was select ed last night, this being the first time women students have been eligible to join. Other business was transact ed by the club, including a dis cussion of spring quarter plans, distribution of the organiza tion's new keys, and reports on the various smokers presented throughout thc'state during the spring holidays. The outgoing club has several projects to complete before go ing out of membership. In ad dition to helping the new club get started, the old club will en tertain several visiting teams and will aid in the entertain ment of the visiting Boy Scouts here soon. A special committee was ap pointed by President Frank Willingham to arrange a stag banquet this spring for the out going club and members of the 1934 organization. Tricks Used Stage Technicians Properties Says Director of - N. Y. Theatre Guild. "One of the cleverest tricks of the old stage technicians," said Lee Simonson, a director of the New York Theatre Guild who lectured here Wednesday at the Drama Festival, "was that used to create a representation of the Deluge. It was done by an ela- borate system of pipes arranged to carry rainwater from neigh- boring roofs to the top of the stage. At the right moment the tap was turned and the stage and actors wert seeminglv dren- died by rain." According to Simonson the medieval stage was far from be- ing crudely equipped with pro- perties. As early as the 12th century plays were made effect- ive through the use of most of the mechanical devices known to the stage managers of the mo- for harp and orchestra, "Intro dern theatre. ? duction et Allegro," as her solo At this time, when the church controlled drama, performances were elaborate with vivid repre- sentations of natural back- ground. For instance, in one play real fish were netted from a stream piped upon the stage. On the banks of this stream liv ing flowers were planted to com plete the illusion. Devices More Complicated . . . . . - stage devices became more complicated as drama develop- ed. It became a common occur- rence for plays to last three or four days with 300 persons in the casts.

MICHIGAN ARTISTS TO GIVE CONCERT Thor Johnson Conducts U. of Michigan Orchestra Which Will Play Here April 8. The University of Michigan Little Symphony, with Thor Johnson conducting, will appear here April 8 in the first Student Entertainment Committee pres entation of the spring quarter The orchestra, composed for the most part of instructors on , 1 OI US1Q 15 g lis nrst soutnern xour, appearing in North Carolina and nearby states. J onnson, a Carolina graduate now holding an instruo torship in the Michigan music department, will be remembered for his work during the last four years with the Carolina Salon Ensemble. Popular at Michigan During the current concert season, the Little Symphony has presented a series of 20 week ly concerts which have been en thusiastically received by sev- eral thousand students on the Michigan campus. Two brilliant soloists, Miss Ruth Pfohl and Romme Ham ilton, will be featured in the con- cert here. Miss Pfohl, head of the harp department of the school of music, has chosen Mau- rice Ravel's master composition offering in this performance Hamilton, violinist and in structor in stringed instruments, is programmed for the brilliant "Concerto in D major" of Mo- zart.

Supporters of the University weathered one more storm Wed nesday in their fight for increas ed University appropriations as in the house an attack on the University section of the appro priations bill was repulsed. Representative Ervin of Meck lenburg, picturing the proposed funds for the institution as "dis proportionate" and quoting fig ures derived from his own mis understanding of the bill, urged an amendment cutting the ap propriation for the next two years from $1,173,824 and $1,- 255,388 to $1,093,000 each year. Hacker Hawked Immediately an exciting scene was created as Representatives Page, Jonas, Harris, Jones, and Abernethy rose in a defense so strong that Ervin was forced to retreat in discomfort and with draw his amendment. Page, although he'is not a col lege graduate, defended the ap propriation because of the high praises he had so frequently heard spoken of the University. Jones, Harris, and Jonas all challenged Ervin's figures; and Harris later convinced him of his mistake on this point. Defenders Graduates Jonas is a University gradu ate and "proud of it;" Harris is a Duke alumnus and ex-speaker of the House; and Abernethy, who joined in the defense of the' University, was graduated from Wake Forest. Lincoln County's Representa tive Jonas was not content with refuting Ervin's erroneous fig ures. Indignant at the attack on the University, he spoke at length in her defense, remind ing his colleagues of the high rank their leading institution of higher education noias among other universities throughout the country and of its very low rank ing in state aid and salary sched ulein comparison to other state universities. His figures, obviously drawn from an issue either of the Alumni Loyalty Fund's Univer sity Facts or the Alumni Asso ciation's Alumni - Review, re flected the. valuable work which is being done by these organiza tions in support of the Univer sity. MINERS WRANGLE WITH NRA HEADS Richberg Sees Hope of Settle ment; Deadline, 72 Hours. Washington, March 28. (UP) The most serious feud be tween capital and labor under the New Deal hurtled toward a crisis tonight as the administra tion struggled to prevent 350, 000 bituminous coal miners from striking. The deadline set by the disgruntled miners is "within 72 hours." Operators and mine workers conferred two hours with Don ald Richberg, head of the NRA governing board and other offi cials late today without reaching an agreement. Another parley is scheduled for tomorrow. Richberg announced tonight that prospects for an agreement are "not encouraging," but said he believed there is some hope of preventing a strike when the workers' contracts expire April first. FRESHMAN CLASS HOLDS INDUCTION OF HONOR COURT Administration, Student Council And Upper Classes Join in Congratulation Felicitation. CLASS'S ACTION PRAISED lembers of the freshman class assembled in Memorial hall yesterday to witness' the formal installation of their re cently formed Honor Council. Deans F. F. Bradshaw and R. B. House, Frank Abernethy, newly elected president of the student body, Lee Greer, adviser of the freshman court, Clyde "Pete" Mullis, president of the freshman class, and the mem bers of the Honor Council par ticipated in the ceremony. Congratulation "I congratulate the class on this pioneering in responsibili ty," said Dean Bradshaw as he commended the class prior to turning the meeting over to Mul lis. v Mullis then presented Aber nethy who, speaking from the viewpoint of both student coun cilman and an upperclassman, stated that he regarded the ac tion of the freshmen as "a de termined effort to put a stop to cheating in the freshman class." "When a class," continued Abernethy, "takes it upon itself to support the honor system, the graduating seniors can rest as sured that it will be upheld." "Good Luck" Substituting for President Graham, who was detained in Raleigh, Dean House praised the class for its action and, on behalf of the faculty and admin istration, wished them "good luck and Godspeed." The 11 men who compose the Freshman Honor Council were introduced by Mullis as follows : Bill Hudson, Jimmy Coan, Joe Patterson, and Bill Davis, from the school of liberal arts; Bill Holland, "Red" Meroney, and Warren Haddaway, the com merce school.

London, March 28. (UP) Reichfuehrer Adolph Hitler is determined to stick by his guns in his fight for rearmament and will demand further concessions before returning to the League of Nations, Foreign Secretary Sir John Simon revealed in the House of Commons today. In his report on the Berlin conversation with Hitler, Simon admitted that sharp differences of opinion had developed. Ostensibly Hopeful The entire report was osten sibly optimistic, but carried a note of failure which became obvious to his listeners. Simon said that the three ma jor conditions Hitler demands for the return of Germany to the League are : (1) Restoration to Germany of at least one of her colonies; (2) formal abolition by the Al lies of the military restriction clauses in the Versailles treaty; (3) complete separation of the League covenant from the Ver sailles pact.
