SURVEY OF NEWS
SHOWS EVENTFUL
WINTER QUARTER
Dean Bradshaw Calls Closing Session
Most "Eventful' V in 16 Years
Dean Francis Bradshaw calls
the closing winter quarter the
most "eventful" in the past six
teen years. With a review of
ampus-wide events that took
place from January 5 to March
7, others might be inclined to
use a more forceful adjective
than that of the dean.
A survey of Daily Tar Heel
deadlines for the past two
months brings forth such memo
ries as:
January 23 President Gra
ham defines athletic policy at

President's much-discussed, oft

COMPANY TO GIVE
DAVIS PLAY HERE
John McGee's Play "Jefferson
Davis" Will Be Presented By
Touring Group March 24
jetterson uavis, a play by
John McGee, will be presented
m lviemoriai nan iviarcn Z4.
Kay McKay, project director
of the Jefferson Davis touring
company, is especially desirous
of scoring a triumph with the
play during its Southern tour.
McKay, who comes from Mis-
'
sissippi, is very anxious to do
justice to the memory of Jeffer
son Davis, since the latter was
also a Mississippian. The "proi-
ect director grandmother ...was
an ultimate i.neiiu ui uie euiue
uavis iamiiy.
First Endeavor
Touring the South for the
first time with a dramatic group,
Mr.TCav wis to make a success
of this, his first endeavor in the
field of Southern drama, as the
head of a theatrical company.
Following his graduation
from the University of Missis
sippi, McKay left the plantation
where his family lived, to em-
bark on a stage career. His de-
parture from home was some-
thing of a disappointment to his
parents, who had hoped that he
would become a planter. "
In 1921 he arrived at the
coast, where he played parts in
several silent films. He tried his
hand also with theatrical stock
companies on the road.
One of the biggest thrills of
his career came in 1924 when he
took part in the first play ever
broadcast over the radio. Creat-
ing an unprecedented stir in the
atrical circles, Avery Hopwood's
"The Alarm Clock" was broad
cast from the Hudson Theatre
in Schenectady, N. Y.
The latest personality to en
dorse "Jefferson Davis" is
Thomas Dixon, author of "The
Clansman."
Handbook Editor
President- Billy Yandell
of the Y. M. C. A. announced
yesterday that applications
are in order for the editorship
of the 1936-37 Freshman
Handbook.
The appointment of editor
which will be made by a com
mittee of three faculty mem
bers of the "Y" Board of Di
rectors will be based on a
written application and a per
sonal interview. The applica
tion blanks may be obtained
at the Y. M. G. A; office.
. Only members of the "Y"
are eligible for; this appoint
ment.
