-TO CREATE A CAMPUS PERSONALITY" I. A JOURNAL OF THE ACTIVITIES OF CAROLINIANS VOLUME XLIII EDITORIAL PHONE 43$ I CHAPEL HILL, N. C, THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1935 EUSKES3 PHONE 4JS6 NUMBER 177 W"N 1 AM 55T17 T,' ::- Vf f f f C v s mi "-tf-oJr 1 liJr r ' -? Lg)X&gXs 6t ie Editor CAROLINA They,!.V CINEMA fs pret ff?1 ly assured that the rniovie men out in California are Igoing to move a few studios into North Carolina, Here's what Varjety has to say about it, in "Lay It On The Line?': ' 'That state (North Carolina) has been pretty thoroughly poured by the picture bunch iwhkh has learned that the aver age temperature there is around 55, tobacco and leather are rea sonably content, exterior loca tions are attractive, and it's only few hours by air and. over aiight by train from New York. In other words, close but not too 'dose to the financial end." There was considerable agita tion last spring about Hollywood-in-the-Old-North-State. The :state folks think it might be a j?ood idea, with all the publicity .and pulchritude and pennies nvhich the silver screen business -would bring in. The Chamber of 'Commerce secretaries from all over the state talked it over last tail and with characteristic vi gor started dickering. We expect some Tar Heel die liards to condemn local cinema production soon on moral grounds. This should be as much fun as the cinema itself. We've been work ing in preparation of a review issue for ACTIVE STUDENT June 2 and have been thorough ly impressed with the extreme activity that seems to have marked the year's progress. New organizations for stu dent participation, new features emphasizing an increased stu dent interest, new ideas in cur riculum and extra-curricular -work all have popped into a busy schedule which was 1934 35. It reminds us of a point which was made obvious recently in nation-wide studies of the present-day collegian, which said that the student body of today 5s more alert, more vigorous, and more serious than the stu dent in the 'twenties.- The re cord of our past year bears out that at least our collegian has made what is generally conced ed to be better use of his four years in school. - ULLU W coming up we be gin to wonder what happened to the Chapel Hillians' drive, which started last spring, to be deck the Forest Theatre with flagstone seats. Efforts were made at that time to get some of the PWA money and insert stone slabs, as much to keep erosion down as to provide beauty to the the atre and-ease to the audience. We know how things like trying to get PWA money are, but hope that any failure in that direc tion didn't preclude further ef forts toward arraying the for est spot. Even without flagstone seats "Proff Koch's vernal wood is mite a sight and will be even more inspiring when fully deck ed out for the coming event. COMMITTEE ASKS RELATIONS MEET BE HELDBY 1937 Comer Tells Group That Fast Moving World Events Warrant Institute Within Two Years. 1935 INSTITUTE DISSOLVED Moving to recommend that the next Institute on Human Re lations be held two years hence, the outgoing Human Relations committee met last night and concluded the year's work. Harry Comer, executive sec retary of the committee, stated that the group "felt that world events are now moving too fast; that it would be a fatal mistake to wait four years for the next Institute, since too much can happen m that time." The recommendation will be passed onto the next commit tee which will be appointed in the spring of 1936. The proce-l dure followed is for the senior "Y" cabinet to appoint the chair man, who then collaborates with the cabinet in choosing the com mittee. Institute Gives Books With Charles Poe presiding, the group also heard a report to the effect that the Institute has contributed 75 volumes to the University library. It was also voted to bank the entire cash balance of the pres ent budget to be saved for use with the next Institute. With the adjournment of this meet ing, the entire group is dis solved. The senior "Y" cabinet will serve as the-sole connection be tween this and the next Insti tute. Those members present were Charles Poe, chairman ; Harry Comer, , executive ' secretary ; Paul Mickie, Agnew Bahnson, Eben Alexander, Billy Harri son, Jack Pool, and for the fac ulty, K. C.

At this meeting all men who have been members of the three "Y" cabinets during the past year and the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. are expected to attend. This last official meeting, which has become a tradition in the "Y," will feature a resume of this year's activities by Ex President J. D. Winslow and an expression of next year's aims by President Billy Yandell. In spirational talks will be made by President Graham and Dean F. F. Bradshaw. This custom of holding the last assembly out-of-doors is a traditional one in the "Y," the meeting having been held for many years on the bluff below Cobb Terrace, thus gaining the Staff Meeting There will be an important meeting of the sports staff this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock in Graham Memorial. Since this will be the last meeting of the year, all members must be present.

Bedspreads, upholstery, bur lap, tobacco cloth, mattress ticking, cow. chains, bathtub stopper chains, silk remnants, buckram, roofing cleats, muffin pans all these Mrs.-Ora Mae Davis is using this week to make the elaborate and dazzling cos tumes for the Playmakers' pro duction of "Hamlet" tomorrow and Saturday nights. "Medieval" was Director Sam Selden's direction for the design of the costumes ; but Mrs. Davis and her assistants, Mrs. Phoebe Ban and-Mrs. Scott Barr, Sr., roamed the centuries in getting their materials, remodeling into 11th century Danish styles cloth ing used in productions of "Princess Ida," "Uncle Tom's Cabin," "Alcestis," and "A Mid summer Night's Dream." The only things they couldn't make themselves were the wigs and the men's tights. MGINEERS TO BUY SERIESPASSBOOIK Add $1 to Fee for Student En tertainment Support; Gordon, Atkinson Head Publication. Alleviating the drabness of mathematics and mechanics, the students of the engineering school yesterday voted to enter the ranks with the commerce and liberal arts students in spon soring the student entertain ment series. The engineers voted to add the same assessment as that of the other students to their fees. Professor J, PyHarland ofjhe student entertainment commit tee said last night that the ad ditional amount added to the fund would; be too small to change the amount of the fee for the other schools. . Engineer Staff Elections for the positions on the staff of the Carolina Engi neer, the journal of the engi neering school, were held at the meeting. Tom Gordy, a rising senior and vice-president of Tau Beta Pi, was selected to fill the shoes of Walter W. King, present editor. Calder At kinson was elected to replace Monroe E. Evans as business manager. Originally just a mimeograph ed pamphlet put out by students in Dr. A. C. Howell's course in engineering English, it has grown to be the professional journal of the school of engi neering. It has also achieved a wide reputation, being placed on an equal tooting with the journals of universities through out the country. MANGUM MAKES MERRY; HAS SMOKER, FREE SHOW I hope," said the incoming president of Mangum, Allan Knott, at the dormitory smoker last night, "you boys next year will consider the position I'm in and co-operate with me." The plea followed a short ( talk by Dean D. D. Carroll, in which the economist stressed the necessi ty of good neighborliness in dormitory life. A Negro comedian, ice cream, free use of the game room, and a midnight show as guests of E. Carrington Smith climaxed the evening for the Mangum ites. On the . king's and queen's crowns of gilded buckram are sewed side by side jewelry from the ten-cent store and old family heirlooms. The "gold" medal lions almost everybody will wear are of wood and will hang from the cow "chains around the courtiers' necks. The muffin pans, painted gold and silver, play an important part in the decoration of belts and baldrics; and the soldiers' helmets represent noble sacrifice of aluminum boilers. One of the chief diversions of idle Playmakers this, week has been to wander into the scene shop and help paint swords and spears and daggers. With deathly serious faces they have stood around, clad in their best clothes, and dabbled with water color brushes at the hilts of dag gers or just stood around. (Continued on page three) House Designates Joint Group To Study Class Extension Plan After Unanimous Faculty Move The Last Round-up The American Liberty League, which Arnold Wil liams calls the "last strong hold of organized conserva tism," resembled the last round-up last night when . Winthrop Durfee, perpetra tor of the league on this campus, was the only mem ber present for its sched uled meeting. The Old puard was con spicuous by its absence with only Dean D. D. Carroll, who was scheduled to speak, and Dr. E. E. Ericson on hand , for the meeting. When not a single Liberty Leaguer put in an appear ance after half an hour of waiting, President Durfee declared the meeting ad journed.

Wiley, Plan's Proposer, Will Head Committee Student Members Are Lansdale, Suss, Poe; Carroll, Taylor t . Faculty Members. MAY REPORT BEFORE JUNE Carrying out the unanimous resolution of the faculty, Dean R. B. House yesterday 'appoint ed a joint committee of faculty and students to investigate the proposed class extension plan. Under the chairmanship of Leon Wiley, originator of the idea, the following students were chosen i Irving Suss, prominent publications man; Charles Poe, of -Human Relations Institute fame; and Nelson Lansdale, the saviour of the Buccaneer. Faculty Faculty membership on the committee will include Wiley, D. D. Carroll and G. C. Taylor. House collaborated with Brad shaw in choosing these 'men, and received suggestions from Phil Hammer. The group has been asked by House to report with recommen dations to the faculty at its con venience, preferably at a faculty meeting before the spring quar ter closes. This action has been taken precisely two weeks fol lowing the faculty decision to investigate the plan. Lively concern characterized the faculty meeting at which the motion -'for investigation was passed. It was only after many and diverse motions had" been unified and subdued, that the present recommendation fi nally went through undefeated. For several weeks preceding the faculty action, comment had appeared in the Daily Tar Heel concerning the plan. It is under stood that the original sugges tion came from Professor Leon Wiley, the desire being to make use of the men of Ruman Rela tion standing who are on our own campus, and to give stu dents an opportunity to develop interest along broader educa tional lines. The Plan As it has appeared in the col umns of the Daily Tab Heel, the suggested plan stands as follows: The heads of each de partment, being informed of the outstanding lectures to take place in their divisions each week, will turn in these facts to the Daily Tar Heel. As a re sult, a program would appear every day in the paper, listing the interesting class lectures of the day. Students would not be expect ed to cut classes to attend any announced lectures, and any such practice would be regarded as cutting, pure and simple. How ever, the plan as now put forth, is open to any change, and ac cording to House, it may be necessary to have it completely; revamped, that it may function successfully. Awards Night Awards. night is scheduled for a week from today, it was announced last night by Ag new Bahnson who has charge of the program this year. All those who did not par ticipate in the 1933 Awards Night program but wish to give awards this year are asked to communicate with Bahnson immediately.
