R. Trabue went into action yesterday to -fl the lately moribund machin ery of the Department. President Graham intimated the move some six weeks ago, "and the matter came to a head last week when Dr. Trabue was appointed to succeed N. W. Walker as Director of Education for all three units of the Con- solidated University. Leads to Harmony In trend with President Gra ham's plan of consolidation, Dr. Trabue believes the new scheme 'will bring together all of the different departments of educa tion and various state agencies so as to work together in har mony to provide better teacher training." Dr. Trabue has been on leave of absence in Washington, D. C, for the past year, engaged in some governmental research work which he had begun years ago at the University of Minne sota. During the past summer he worked with President Gra ham as chairman of a committee which laid out a program for the new plans of the Depart ment of Education. Unit heads who will work with Dr. Trabue are J. H. Cook at Woman's College, in Greens horo ; and T. E. Brown at State in Raleigh. Additions to English Staff Eight additions to the fresh man English teaching staff have been made because of the large enrollment. The new laboratory course for freshmen who are de ficient in composition also ac counts for the unusually large staff this year. The new members of the staff are: Gerald G. Grubb, M. A., Wake Forest; Beach Langston, M. A., Claremont College; H. W. Sams, M. A., Oberlin Univer sity; J. -B. Shackford, M. A., Northwestern University ; J. K. Svendsen, M.

NEW DEPARTMENT OF RELIGION HERil CONCEIVED IN '26 Similar Work Done by Group Without U. N. C. Sanction I SSMLl ARAMS' IS;WO The year 1935-36, the -fall quarter of which has just been ushered in, will .mark another milestone in the intellectual ex pension and cultural progress of the University of North Caro lina, the oldest of state univer sities. A department of religion will make its modest beginning and offer its courses to the student body. This is not an entirely new thing, however, as the founda tion for such a department was laid back in 1926 when a corpo ration was established under the name of "The School of Religion at Chapel Hill." First Directors . The first board of directors was composedof ministers in the five churches of Chapel Hill, the secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and two representatives from each of these groups. The first school was not, however, connected with the University, although the directors repeat edly petitioned the University to extend credit to its students. The school was chartered under the laws of North Caro- ina, the late Dr. F. P. Venable of the University Faculty being he first chairman of the board of directors. When the organi zation was perfected, the offi cials v selected the Reverend Mims Thornburg Workman to act as dean of the school and professor of religion. No Recognition The school continued to ope rate without credit from the University for two years. In the spring of 1928, President Chase called a special meeting NOTICE Our store will be closed on Sat urday, September 28th, for Jewish holiday. Berman's Dept. Store V v- 4-V J. t j -r ' 5 FRED MacMURRAY, who is the town's most eligible bachelor, wooes KATHERINE HEPBURN in "ALICE ADA3VIS," said to portray one of the most poignant situations brought about by the social barriers that exist in average America. Heartaches, suffer ing and gallant courage are woven into this gripping human in terest story by Booth Tarkington, now playing at the Carolina. of the faculty to decide . the matter for credits for the school of religion. The University faculty, which voted, negatively to give recognition to the out side school, finally proposed "a recommendation to the. Univer sity trustees that there be es tablished in and by the Univer sity a department of the History and Literature of Religions." The trustees passed the proposal and authorized the establish ment of the new department as soon as possible. At this time came the advent of the depression and with it they beginning of waning bud gets for the University. Why the University has established few new departments is a familiar story. This year, three courses in the religions have been set up. Seventeen students have regis tered in the department's first course, "Archaeology and the Bible" taught by J. P. Harland and credited under the depart ment of classics. Other courses have been set up for the jiext two quarters. ' Dr. Chang (Continued from first page) ceived his M. A. and . Ph. D. from Johns Hopkins in Balti more. His work at the latter institution was under the direc tion of Dr. Edwin Greenlaw, former dean of the graduate school here. Dr. Chang has been a member of the National Central University faculty since 1933 and is regarded as an able student of philosophy and soci ology. - , KOCH USES SLIDES TO PICTURE WORK OFPLAYMAKERS Drama Director Describes T2ie Growth . of Folk Plays Throughout America : . The story of how an illegiti mate art became legitimate that was the story Professor Koch told in his own inimitable way at the Playmakers theatre last night Eighteen years have passed since the beginning of the renaissance of native American drama in North Carolina, and 30 years have passed since the University of - North . Dakota first experienced the ambitions of Professor Koch. And now through his and his pupils' unceasing efforts, the idea of folk plays is being ex tended throughout America. Acting, the instrument of God in expressing the wonder and beauty of common things, is tak ing its place in the curricula of colleges and universities along with other fine arts. "After working slowly but honestly for 18 years, we welcome all of you to the home of native American drama," he said earnestly as he showed slides depicting the gen eral character of the work done at North Dakota and at the Playmakers Theatre. Pictures of the Carolina Play makers on tours through the northern states proved an inter-J esting feature of the work here. The "bank-side" theatres in North Dakota and the Forest theatre here were unusual back grounds of loveliness for the plays. The highlights of the pro gram were the exhibitions of the professor's vocal qualities when he rendered a Swedish song and a ghostly pirate song in which the tune seemed to have been forced to walk the plank.
