I- i, , . r?Cc ' IT "TO CREATE A CAMPUS PERSONALITY A JOURNAL OF THE ACTIVITIES OF CAROLINIANS VOLUME XT JIT EDITORIAL PHONE 4HI CHAPEL HILL, N. C, TUESDAY, MAY 14, 1935 BUSINESS PHOKE 4356 NUMBER 169 -4 D!)S) tfce Editor 4 One thing that is very noticeable in our campus QUIT CROWDING schedule is that every once in a -while we have five or six events listed for a single evening and -then, like a business cycle, there is a period of little or no activity. Take tonight, for instance. "We'll have Rabbie Israel, Preach- er Clark and a Student Enter tainment "presentation all within .a few minutes of each other, or simultaneously. Besides that -there are a few other meetings -and random cracks at text books. Our system of making engage ments on the campus calendar is not very effective and results in much disorder and irritation. Some sort of public scheduling should be effected to avoid de pressions and prosperities in our -activities cycle. We had a won derful time yester day afternoon chas BECAUSE OF "NOT" ing files and wiring Mr. Clark over in Charlotte. First, we found from the New York Times that our recent crack at Mr. Clark about insert ing a "not" in the Winant re port was false. So we wired him and apologized. Not satisfied with the way the ireport read with the particu lar "not inserted, we did some more searching and found droni the Daily News Record and -the New York Herald Tribune -that the "not" was not meant lo be in the report and that the Times and Mr. Clark's editorial were wrong. Mr. Clark had one issue previous written the re port correctly, but had inserted the "not" when he started edi torializing the following week. So we wired'. Mr. Clark again and told him his error. In the meantime we had written a pub 2ic correction of our error and this had to be pulled from the linotype. It's a great life. It's too bad that the XATE AGAIN Yackety Yack will not be out on time again. Last year the Queen City folks swore it would not happen again but now that they're tied up with ;a strike, it looks like the wrong people swore. It should have .been us, and in a different tone. Usually the printer says that it's the editor's fault when the annual doesn't hit the deadline. This time, at least, no such note can be introduced, as Editor Drane has hit the dates on the head each time. The strike, so we understand it, came about because the Queen City printers wouldn't accede to the union's demand for a closed shop. Unaccustomed as we are to public spanking and believing that the printers ought to know their trade better than we who only write bad stuff for them to print, we have naught to say. Except that when a printer promises to hit a deadline and also promises to look out for his labor, he'd better do both when it takes only one stone to kill both birds, with good-will sauce to boot. EMINENT SINGERS WILL PLAY ROLES IN OPERATONIGHT One Act Comedy, "The Secret of Suzanna," Closes Student Entertainment Season. PROGRAM BEGINS AT 8:30 . The Boston Chamber Opera Company's light opera, Secret of Suzanna," will "The close the current Student Entertain ment Series tonight at 8:30 o'clock in Memorial hall. The opera, written by Wol- Ferrari, the composer of "The Jewels of the Madonna," is, one of the most popular of the one act operas played in America. It has been such a favorite with opera audiences that it has long been included in the repertoire of the Chicago, Boston, and Metropolitan Opera Companies. Eminent Cast The cast of the opera is com posed of several eminent ar tists. Miss Gertrude Ehrhart, the leading soprano, has acquir ed quite a reputation in the east, having been prima-donna with the Boston Chamber Opera 4 Company since its organization. Hudson Carmody, who plays the leading part, of the Count, is a bass-baritone of some distin ction. He recently returned from two years concentrated study in Europe to be the out standing soloist in an all-Wag ner program presented by Han del and Hay den of Boston. , The part of a mute servant gives Raymond Simonds no op portunity to display" his fine tenor voice. However, he wil be heard in the concert which is supplementing the opera. The pianist of the group is a well-known Boston conductor, Willem Frank, who will also appear as a soloist on the con cert program.

For Two Speeches Comes to Carolina For Liberty League Charlottonian Asserts That His Attacks Not Leveled Against Whole University. SPEAKS IN GERRARD HALL David Clark, called "the ene my of the University" by those professors whom he terms "reds," will arrive in Chapel Hill at 6 o'clock tonight for two talks. The Textile Bulletin editor will give the principal speech of the evening at 8:30 o'clock in Gerrard under the auspices of the local division of the Ameri can Liberty League. He will be introduced by Winthrop Durfee, president of the League here. Clark will defend himself against the many attacks made upon him recently for his criti cism of rampant radicalism at the University. In a statement Friday, Clark asserted that his attacks upon radicalism had never been level ed at the University as a whole, but only at "that small group of professors and students who give the University a 'red' repu tation." "Not Radical" Clark's defense will be in line with the first , objective of the League here : "To prove to North Carolina and the nation that this University is not a hotbed of radicalism."- . The Charlottean is expected to comment on the administra tion's stand against the textile industry and on the New Deal in general. A great many persons expect him to touch upon the much discussed Burlington dynamiting case, upon which he has spent much time in study. There will be a 20-minute open forum after the speech in Gerrard, during which questions may be asked. Chairman Dur fee requested yesterday, how ever, that those who ask ques tions "come to the point" and abstain from filibustering har- angues. Clark will also be -present at a member meeting of the League at 7:30 p. m. in 215 Graham Memorial. League members interested in securing reservations for the dinner with Clark in the Caro lina Inn should see W. C. Durfee.
