It's easy enough to find things wrong with all communities, es pecially one like Chapel Hill. If we can understand the motives behind the community's action and being, however, our efforts to find things wrong are neces sarily tempered by the motives behind those actions which we believe are not right.

The afternoon mail will not be delivered, but the morning mail will be delivered as usual. Postmaster Eubanks stated that post offices all over the country are taking off part of the day in celebration. "Public opinion has it that Chapel Hill is an enlightened place," says a campus luminary. "This will explain why citizens are not celebrating to a great extent today. Historians agree that Washington was born Feb ruary 11, and not February 22 and the enlightened citizens are aware of the fact." NUMBER 112 i FEDERAL OFFICIAL WILL SPEAK HERE AT JUNE EXERCISE U. S.

Goldsboro Theatre Project Professor Frederick Koch, re-1 gionar advisor of the Federal Theatre Projects reports that work will begin February 27 on the Goldsboro unit of the Feder al Theatre Projects. This unit, sponsored by the Memorial Community building, one of nine recreation theatre projects for North Carolina, calls for the employment of two per sons and a total expenditure of $403, 95 per cent of which will be used to meet the relief pay rolls. Children's theatre, similar to the Goldsboro organization for children maintained by the Wayne Drama league, will be established in Fremont under the direction of Miss Mildred El lis. . , -:'. .. Miss Ellis has been associated with the Wayne P. Sewell Pro ducing company of Atlanta, Ga., and has had practical experience in community recreation. Activi ties will later be extended to in clude Mount Olive and other centers of interest in the county. Mr. Charles Stapleton, direc tor of the Wayne County Com munity building is volunteering his services to insure proper lo cal supervision of the project. According to Miss Mary Dirn berger, state supervisor, who was in Goldsboro February 19, the primary purpose of the Fed eral Theatre Projects is to pro vide employment for theatre workers carried on the relief rolls.' The secondary purpose is to encourage an interest in the theatre as" a leisure time activity both from a point of attendance and from active non-profession al participation. "Members on the payroll of this project," said Miss Dirnbersrer. "shall assist the Wayne Community Players in carrying out its excellent pro gram and in' making the bene fits " of the organization avail able to more people."

C." are those students on the campus whose deficient knowledge of English gram mar makes necessary their re view of freshman grammar before they may be graduated. J. O. Bailey, who will con duct the examination, urges all condition students to ap pear. Failure to pass the test may delay graduation of .con dition seniors. Lionel Stander, who played the part of the humorous athletic trainer in the motion picture. "Milky Way" starring Harold Lloyd, which was showat the Carolina theatre here Thursday, was at one time a student at the University. . It seems that Dean Francis Bradshaw went to see the movie and recognized Stander's face on the screen. When he went back to his office, he looked in the registration files, and there, surely enough, was : Stander, attended the sity of North Carolina in 1926 and 1927, born 1905, and home, Mount Vernon, N. Y. . Had Record Miss Mabel Mallett, secretary to Dean Bradshaw, has in her possession a note which concerns the calling of one Lionel Stand er to the dean's office in 1926. Stander, playing the role of the "half-cracked" poet, made quite a hit in Noel Coward's pic ture, "The Scoundrel." He also played the part of a gangster in "If 'You Could Only Cook," which was shown at the Carolina theatre last week. He has made a number of pictures recently, and it has been said that he actually "stole the show" from Harold Lloyd in Thursday's mo vie, "Milky Way." Ex-PIaymaker According to Proff Koch, Lio nel Stander was a Playmaker while he was attending the Uni versity. He always played com edy parts and was a very hard man to direct because he insist ed upon "cutting up" at play rehearsals. Stander had roles in the Playmaker . productions, "The Muse and the Movies" and "A Comedy of Greenwich Vil lage," which, was written by Alice Rodwald, student of play writing at Columbia University. Faculty Meeting Arrangements for catalo gue announcements were dis cussed by the faculty at a meeting yesterday afternoon. Phil Hammer, chairman of the committee appointed recent ly by Francis Fairley to study the honor system, appeared at the meeting and explained the plans and purposes of the committee. Hammer , told of the work the group is doing and asked for faculty co-operation. Dr. John Ward Studebaker, United States Commissioner of Education, will deliver the bac calaureate address at the Uni versity of North Carolina's 141st Commencement ' exercises at Chapel Hill June 9, it was an nounced yesterday by Admfnis- trative Dean R. B. House. It was announced at the same time that the baccalaureate ser mon is to be preached on June 7 by Dr. Half or d Edward Luc cock of the Yale University School of Divinity. Self Made Man Commissioner Studebaker, earned his way through college, began his career in public edu cation as principal and coach of athletics at a high school in Cuthrie Center, Iowa, in 1910 and has since won distinction as teacher and principal of several mid-western schools. He accept ed his present position in May, 1934. His home is in Des Moines, Iowa. Dr . Studebaker. is widely known for his successful admin istrative abilities and . know ledge of instructional technique, especially as concerns the wel fare of handicapped children and adult education; He is ' the author of several textbooks and numerous articles on education. Background Dr. Luccock received his A. B. degree from Northwestern, -his master's at Columbia, and has been the recipient of three doc torates from other colleges. He was registrar and instructor at Drew Theological Seminary, Madison, N. J., from 1916 to 1918, was educational secretary of the Methodist Board of Foreign Missions from 1924 to 1928, since which time he has been a professor of homiletics at Yale. General College's Purpose "The main purpose of the gen eral college is to prepare more students more effectively for the latter part of unified programs of study running through four years," says Dr. Corydon P. Spruill, whose appointment as dean of the newly-organized gen eral college was announced Wed nesday. "During his first two years in the University a student is a member of the general college unless he enters the school of pharmacy. He takes certain courses basic to all programs of j study and in addition chooses j other courses in anticipation of advanced work in special fields. Junior Year "At the beginning of his jun ior year the student will enter that division of the University which is best adopted to his in terests and needs.". According to Dr. Spruill the term "general college" has come o represent a variety of arrange ments in American education. 'To some institutions it means a distinct junior college within the university. To others it is a means of providing and adminis tering programs of study for students who do not fit into the usual undergraduate curricula." Reasons for Change Dr. Spruill states as the rea son for the change here from the previous freshman and sopho more system to the general col lege plan are: "There are curri cular and administrative advan tages in making one agency re sponsible for the direction of all students ' during their first two years. There is a great oppor tunity for an adequate number of faculty advisors to work to gether in orienting, registering, and systematically counseling students from the time of admis sion to the time of promotion to the more specialized studies of the junior and senior years. In formed, individualized guidance should make more fruitful the periods of incomplete residence. "Thus, while working mainly for a general preparation for a complete college course, the gen eral college provides opportuni- ty for both experimental and de cided beginning' of specialized studies. Moreover, a substantial variation of the standard curri cular is not only allowed but may even be urged by the advisor whenever special circumstances show that it is wise to do so." i
