HOUSE DEPLORES
CONTmpFPLAY
Declares Psychology of "En
chanted Maze" of Pre
Elizabethan Type
Paul Green's psychology in the
"Enchanted Maze" is of the pre
Elizabethan, blood and thunder
type and has not reached the
Shakespearian stage of logical
thought, according to R. B.
House, dean of administration,
who addressed the regular fresh
man' assembly; yesterday. ,' ;
Dean House went on to say
that his admiration was for the
producer and the actors rather
than for the play itself. Paul
Green did 'not think out his
theme, he said, and the actors
made a good play out of poorly
constructed work.
Characters Distorted
The characters of the profes
sors and administrators are dis-
orted and these men of neces
sity have many -other qualities
han the misrepresented ones
shown in the play. Furthermore,
Dean House said, each science
and laboratory does not claim
that it has the final work on
truth. The play makes no men
tion of the subjects of history
or poetry and philosophy quickly
retreats from the scene.
Moral Disintegration
The play is really a tragedy of
the moral disintegration of Billy
Parker, House continued, but it
gives no indication of this. Billy
Parker is a weakling and cannot

CAMPUS KEYBOARD
A bit of Yankee (Newbern, N.
C.) ingenuity,' shadows of
forthcoming national prosperity,
a University depression policy,
and a little administrative man
euveringand Albert Ellis has
solved the problem of getting
the dormitory social fee in effect
following the successful petition
in the rooming houses. '
Supervisor Ellis wasn't quite
sure just exactly how he was go
ing to get this fee on the com
pulsory basis after his collea
gues' vote of confidence several
weeks ago. If there were to be
a separate dormitory social fee
levied, the Board of Trustees
would have to pass on the idea,
and you know how muchv the
Board of Trustees cares for add
ing to compulsory, fees. Or may
be you don't. Anyway, the an
swer is that they frowndeeply
on the mere suggestion of add
ing another single penny on the
compulsory list. .
But Supervisor Ellis, after his
cleverness in using the petition
rather than the ballot method of
votincr. wasn't to be turned

( Continued on last page)
aside, He had a brainstorm and
with Messrs. House, Bradshaw,
and Rogerson of the administra
tion figured the thing out. .
University dormitory rent
rates have been dropping stead
ily during the depression days,
in' order to help the boys out.
Now, the Democrats tell us that
prosperity is already around the
corner coming our way. And the
dormitory boys evidently believe
this because they are willing to
pay a dollar extra for dormitory
improvements.
So just add the dollar to the
room rent, subtract it after it
has been collected, turn it over
pro rata to the dormitory coun
cils to be administered through
the student audit system, and
there you are, with a social fee
and everything.
That's what the boys did and
now room rent will be one dollar
higher this winter. But the an
swer to the petition's prayer will
have been heard and the trustees
cheated out of a grand oppor
tunity to vote "No" with vehe
