Use the Rat Trainers : ' Yesterday the first annual Carolina officers training course came to a close. As a starter, the officers school was a success. Funny, that we did not think before of training our new lead ers But, although worthwhile, the value of the course was limited by an over emphasis on the stereotyped laws of parliamentary procedure. Knowledge of the principles of presiding over an assembly is but one slice in the big pie of leader jship. Next year we would like to see the officers training school inveigle the services of our. psy chology professors and give more attention to the psychological techniques of leading and in fluencing men. 0 Spring Fever '. Felix Frankfurter is now in the midst of the 'Weil lecture series; campus socialites and hund reds of visiting girls are in the midst of May iFrolics. And until only a few days ago, humble ! freshmen have, been madly hunting hidden trea sure or calmly retiring with the: chickens to miss any of the valuable attractions of the .spring j quarter's evening menu. '" '' ; ' : . : j.; ,:,.:-. Time .and again, attention has been called to the fact that here in Chapel Hill outstanding 1 events are continually conflicting. The' bureau jof public attractions in the "Y" has done much !to remedy the situation, but this particular week- end's jam harks back to the chaotic ante-bulletin Iboard days. ; The spring quarter has always been the most !flushed-with-special-events quarter, and it was ionly this year, with the Student Council's stand on hazing, that fraternity freshmen have not been actually forced to miss such important Uni jversity programs as the Weil lectures, student entertainment presentations, and notably the Human Relations Institute series, j This year's lighter initiation period, coupled with the "Y" bulletin service, has greatly relieved the evil conflict situation accompanying previous spring quarter iprograms. However, freshmen are still being made to retire early at night. If the "f raters" are really so anxious for the neo phytes to get their sleep they might introduce afternoon siestas (from 2 till 5) for their fresh men on occasions of night-life importance! ; J. M. S. Finding Minds Last Tuesday night in Hill hall we heard Clif ford W. Beers, author of "The Mind That Found Itself," join in launching plans for the establish ment of mental hygiene societies throughout the state. Head of the National Society for Mental Hygiene, Mr. Beers is dogging the footsteps of last century's Dorothy Dix in working toward more effective treatment of mental cases. Of interest to University students was Mr. Beers' advocacy of a mental hygiene clinic for every institution of higher learning. Since a university is dedicated to improvement of the mind, there should be specialized facilities for the observation and treatment of mental disord ers. For hard-worked undergraduates, over wrought teachers, and moody graduate students a Chapel Hill mental clinic would be indispensable. L I. G. THE THEATRE By BUI Hudson ORIGINALS The Playmakers are working out another experiment. Sam Selden's directing class are trying their hands this week end at public performances of original plays written in Proff Koch's "composition course." In spite of difficulties arising from the situation of ten plays being prepared in three weeks with only one regular stage at the directors' disposal, Thursday night's bill, with the exception of "Awakening," written and di rected by Eleanor Barker, ex hibited little of the directing awkwardness characteristic of the informal, hastily thrown to gether experimentals. . The plays themselves, ' how ever, except for Jean Walker's clever little character sketch, "An Orchid to You," weres slow and uninteresting. Raise a Tune, Sister" The trouble with this play is that it's too wordy, that the sus taining comic lines are too few and far between. As "a folk play, portraying the people and life of an extremely interesting little out of the way corner of ., the world, it's fair. We've" been to Ocracoke, and we know that Miss McMullan's representation of the way the bankers take their re ligion is pretty accurate. But she doesn't get away with the local color very well. On the script, the dialect is probably Consistent and effective ; but the way it comes out of the mouths of New Englanders and North Carolinians who already have a decided colloquial enunciation of their own ! Well, to say the least, it's inconsistent. Then the play might have got a very helpful boost from a good stage setting, with fishing parapher nalia and boots and the hanks of string they use to make their own nets lying around in con formity with Housewife Ada Beemer's ideas of neatness in preparation for the visit of the . circuit-rider. . , ? Except: for the damning effect of the four different Ocracoke brogues, and . of s occasional prompting for Tom 6'Flaherty, the acting was good and vouched for judicious directing on the part of Jessie Langdale. Janie Britt as Mrs. Beemer and (to a lesser extent) Mr. O'Flaherty as Colmark Beemer and Kenneth Bartlett as Preacher Holliday worked their parts for all they were worth. "Awakening" Eleanor Barker's "play of dis illusionment" depended a great deal on characterization effects in the lines and the way they were said. As author and direct or, she didn't get much of either into the performance Thursday night. The play itself is a slow and dull exposition of the effect of small town politics on a boy and a girl who have the chance of getting away from the pettiness and sordidness of their childhood environment ; and the cast, which with the exception of Juanita Greene didn't display much innate acting ability, were handicapped by awkward posi tions and actions. It was Miss Barker's first experience with public production, however; and there were hopeful features. "An Orchid to You" This play wasn't good enough to compensate for the other two, but taken by itself it was a credit to Jean Walker, the au thor ; Fowler Spencer, the direct or; and the actors. "I wrote it to get revenge on a girl I once knew and to pan a co-ed. type I simply despise," was Miss SAND AND SALVE By Stuart Rabb CRIMINAL EDUCATION The stories J. Edgar Hoover told the' D. A. Rs about crime and criminals were enough to make cold chills creep up and down the old girls' spines. The chief G-man told them that over 150,000 murderers are prowling about, searching for victims.' We have 3,000,000 criminals, says J. Edgar, and in addition, one out of every 25 persons in our fair country tends towards crime. These are things that make us wonder , how much our colleges are doing to educate for honesty. The executive head of one of the largest- : universities in North Carolina stated that students come to college for the sole pur pose of study. And in the pro cess of study a tendency for dis honesty is often encouraged. This same man had-the af f rontery to declare upon one oc casion that an ounce of prevent tion was worth a pound of cure.

As usual when she sets her' cleverly spiteful brain to a job like this, she was completely suc cessful. The play sparkled with funny lines and situations; and Hester Barlow and Lammy Ald erman, as leading characters, exploited them to the comic limit. About Carolina Little Happenings of - Much Interest Edited By Ruth Crowell Mexican Night This evening will be Mexican Night. Josephine Niggli, who is probably the best playwright of the year, offers two comedies, a tragedy, and "the story of Mexican independence" ("The Cry of Dolores") , plays with lots of color in costuming and stage setting and with the most com petent and experienced casts to appear this weekend. If the plays are up to the reputation of the author and actors, tonight's should be a good bill. Mildred Hoiuard's telephone conversations are always the most interesting events in the daily lives of Chi Omegas. But yesterday they all thought the balmy, spring weather had af fected her. Milly was speaking in her most pleasant voice " Would you mind Jf I got your goat to night? I'll take good care of it. and bring it right back." It turned out that she was collect ing properties for a play and needed a goat to walk across the stage. Our faith in humanity was re stored last evening when we sud denly noticed that Professor Phillips Russell, who was sup posedly taking notes on a lecture, . was only drawing funny pic tures. Peg Gregg and Bob Cole are spending the weekend in Eutaw ville, S. C. Vinney Moritsiger's Packard left this morning loaded down . with some of the Chi. Phi broth ers for a big chapter dance at Hampton Sidney, .Va. : .. . Don Abbott, Alpha Tau Ome ga's smallest freshman, is also the fraternity's most enthusias tic listener to the big radio bought recently. Unable to sleep Thursday night, little Don stole downstairs all alone at 3 a. m. and! eased his insomnia with the new pride and joy of the house. night. It seems that every where DeWitt has ever been, he has been known as Loretto Car roll Bailey's little brother, and now for once Loretto was intro duced as DeWitt Carroll's sister by the Federal Theatre Project troupe in Raleigh. Eddie Kahn takes the cake for being a scheming soul. Last week he sent his father a beau tiful cigarette case and lighter as a birthday gift only to have the present returned to him with a note which read: "Your sister gave me the same thing so I am returning this to you for your own use as I am not able to use two of them at the same time." Jack Geary, Phi Delt, partici pated in the figure at the senior prom at Randolph-Macon in Lynchburg last weekend. . Jack Lowe, who completed his work at the University last quar ter, has secured a position as sports editor of the Sunday Post in Elizabeth,: N. J. DeWitt Carroll insists that he has waited all his life for some thing which happened to him last ; Professor R. S. Winslow of the economics department says that, the University students all suffer from one ailment around the noon hour Galloping Consumption. , When we asked Co-ed Lola Reid her opinion of the Weil lec ture last night she said: "It was as much fun as a midget show. You know Mr. Frankfurter, Dr. Graham, and Dean Carroll are all the same height." Frankfurter (Continued from page one) close to the language of the text, avoiding implications dieriyed from large notions of policy, be lieving that judges were not es pecially; Qualified to share poli tical and economic policy. ' . The third and! last of the se ries of Weil lectures will be oh the commerce clause as develop ed under Chief Justice Taite. It will be delivered . tonight at 8 o'clock in Hill Music hall.
