So said Dr. Groves in a lecture the other night. There is no doubt that Dr. droves is absolutely correct. But to try to "clean up bull-sessions," in order to rid us of , the latter type of midnight convention, is about like trying to clean out the Augean stables. The way to effect stimulating and educating influences in the bull-sessions is, as Dr. Groves intimates, to give the bull-ses-sioners something worthwhile and interesting to talk about. The idea is not only to give them that something, but to show them, in the process, that it's just as much fun to talk about the more important as the less. Which also looks rather im possible. Probably the best bull session attitude is to pray that the bad ones aren't too bad and that the good ones do somebody some good. Most bull-sessions are beneficial to someone. The State Col lege Technician, RADICAL REACTION one of the best collegiate newspapers we know of, had a well-taken editorial en titled "So Much Smoke," refer ring to Mr. David Clark's recent visit to Chapel Hill. One point in the editorial treatment, however, was slight ly in error, although it was an obvious conclusion. It ran: ". . , From the feeling of Mr. Clark's audience, reported as bit ter at times, their (the radicals') leadership in activities and meet ings in University buildings must have had some effect on a part of the students there. Nevertheless, the attitude of this group should not be taken as representative of the entire stu dent body. It is regrettable that the actions of a few may cause the sincerity of the . University to be questioned." The radical "leadersnip, we are positive, had no effect on any of the audience. Mr. Clark him self, through his own words and action, created or crystallized more radicalism on this campus than the radicals themselves have been able to stir up in years. The conservative picture was poorly painted. We mentioned CASUAL COMMENT last Wednesday that Jack Pool and his helpers were to be con gratulated on their efforts on the big senior invitations. We also mentioned that it was none of our business. Both still hold. There has been considerable agitation amoncr .the seniors since about the size of the invi tations and the cost. Persons planning, to send out several doz en of the booklets have found it tough to gather together 30, 50, or 60 cents for each. Our guess is that the Orange Print shop is going to do a rushing business in making up card invi tations at $6.25 per 100. Which goes to show that no matter how hard you try, you can't fit tastes, pocketbooks, and fancies of all. CO-EDS APPROVED AS PHI-RIEN RAGE IN TORRID! SESSION Seawell Claims Women Students "Greatest Assets"; Fairley Demands 60-40 Proportion. FISTICUFFS CLOSE MEETING In a rowdy and raucous ses sion that threatened several times to end in fisticuff s and fi nally did, the Phi Assembly last night laughed itself into defeat ing by a vote of 19-6 a bill to ex clude women students from the University. Clearly the feature of the meeting was a feud between ex Speaker Robert Smithwick and Sergeant-at-Arms Harry Mc Mullan. The latter accused Smithwick of spitting on the floor arid imposed a five-cent fine upon him for the same. Amid a Wild scene of chaos and confu sion the burly ex-speaker rose in resentment to appeal the fine The assembly, however, re fused to believe that Smith wick had not cast spittle to the floor and upneld McMullan's fine almost' unanimously. The altercation occurred when, im mediately after Speaker Ellis declared the meeting adjourn ed, Smithwick, together with Watts Ashley, a converted henchman, attacked McMullan. Retreats , The force of their combined impact forced McMullan to fall back heavily upon a row of seats. As the sergeant-at-arms rose for the assumed purpose of retalia tion, the combatants were smothered by a constricting ring of Phi members. Tom Hines and Frank Mc- Glinn also felt the hand of , order when they were fined 10 cents each for offenses ranging from disorderliness to attempting to speak without addressing the chair. Francis Fairley, speaking in opposition to the bill excluding (Continued on page three) LIFE SAVING CLASS WILL BEGIN TODAY Red Cross Sponsored Instruction To Last Through Week with Examinations Monday.

Phoebe Barr Dancers Will Perform During Playmakers' Hamlet Revellers Will Burst Upon Stage In Wild Dance Immediately Following Ghost Scene. i' . Denmark's ; king is scarce dead ; but on with the dance, long live the new king. The mood of this contrast be tween what should be and what is will be conveyed to the "Ham let" audiences Friday and Sat urday nights by eight of Mrs. Phoebe Barr's dancers, costum ed as members of the decadent court of Claudius. Their drunken, confused brawl scene will offer all the more of con trast because it follows the som ber opening ghost scene, the sound of their revelry being heard immediately upon the exit of the dead unhappy shade. . Elsinore's Atmosphere Mrs. Barr has arranged the courtiers' dance, not with the idea of presenting an authentic 11th century Danish folk dance, but rather as a means of setting forth the wanton tone of life in Elsinore. One of Director Sam Selden's pet ideas is to portray the mem bers 6f Claudius' court as being just as wicked and just as much to blame for the shameful state of affairs as Claudius and Queen Gertrude themselves. .The "Hamlet" dancers will be : Juanita Greene, Christine May- nard, Mrs. Ora Mae Davis, Cath erine Threlkeld, Harry . Coble, William W. Miller, Bob Lewis, and Dwight Brown. The mu sic will be played by the Uni versity Symphony Orchestra.

KOONTZ ADDRESSES GROUP INTERESTED IN HOPE MILL CASE Stresses Necessity for Public Attention Towards Strikers. It is absolutely necessary to get public attention to this case," said Edward Koontz of the In ternational Labor Defense in Gerrard hall last night as he spoke before a group studying the Burlington strike case. The trial now before the North Carolina Supreme Court has been successfully postponed until October due to the lack of time the lawyers have had in preparing the case and the de sire to arouse more interest. Walt Pickard, former worker in the Hope Mills where the strike occurred, told the audi ence of his difficulties in helping his fellow workers alleviate their conditions there. Paul Green, spoke of the finan cial situation of the Chapel Hill group, asserting that some $900 1 had been raised for the defense of the workers. Because Professor Ericson, who has led the group, is leav ing for China this summer, J. D. Bailey of the English depart ment has been elected chairman to continue the work.
