J ' ' For This Issue . . !:- .-;v.;.: ; News Editor: Lytt Gardner Sports ; Ray Howe. o French Yodelers Day after tomorrow Sigmund Spaeth, the "tune detective," will end the spring quarter Student Entertainment series when he appears in Memo rial hall. Last year, by a stroke of fortune1, we were able to get "Green Pastures" here for $1500, and this year we heard the Minneapolis Symph ony. Noteworthy has been the trend in the last year or so toward fewer, but more more attrac tive, presentations, The present Entertainment budget runs around $4,700. The $1500 presentation of "Green Pas tures" was the largest single item in last year's list of program expenditures. Current campus interest not only favors the trend in the committee's selections toward concen tration of programs, but it also is beginning to assert itself in exploring the possibilities of the committee's presenting Fred Waring or Paul Whiteman. ' u 'i; V ; ' ; y . :.t:T. , Spme: .campusites-. .have - declared that "Fred Waring in the fall,; Whiteman in the spring" would satisfy ; their entertainment; series cravings. But the committee points out j Waring ... t alone would cost considerably over three fourths of the year's budget, even for a one night's performance, and certain of the committeemen feel that in view f a whole year the money could better be spent ih securing four or five other, less expensive, but is educational performances. Some of them pos sibly do.not think the "Jazz King" is worth $3000 Efrem Zimbalist will come for $750. . . - j And the same campus interest comes back with the proposal that Whiteman be secured in co-ope-iation with the German Club, so that his appear 3nce in concert would be considerably less were he to be scheduled for several other events in (Jhapel Hill ! With a questionable challenge, the, campus opinion dismisses the subject for the mo ment: "Do the students pay their fees to receive student entertainment or not?" -J. M. S. More Strings 5 .... j It is sad but true fact that only three or four fraternities in Chapel Hill own their houses with lo "strings attached." Conditions elsewhere are said to be just as bad. The houses were built in boom times when prices were high and they "vere constructed with borrowed money. i All during those five lean depression years fraternities have been trying desperately to keep Up interest and principal payment on the large debts incurred in boom times. Many lodges have f jailed and have been sold out into the street. Others are on the verge of financial collapse as a result of this unnatural drain. ; The government has aided other home owners, corporations and banks. Why not, then, a FRC Fraternity Refinancing Corporation? This bu rfeau would lend money to fraternities at a normal rate over a longer period of time. It is remark able that Roosevelt hasn't put this plan into ope ration before now -it would get him some frater nity votes. S. W. R. OH BOY JUST MADE IT! -or - -fag ' ft ' . THE THEATER By Bnx Hudson Niggli Night . Saturday night Josephine Nig gli of Monterrey, Mexico, must have walked on air; for with her four plays she successfully mir rored her native land, in its moods of laughter and tears, of poetry and patriotism. Actors, technicians, directors, and even business executives shared too in the triumph of the playwright ; the plays all were excellently produced, and the large house was enthusiastic over the most varied and inter esting program of the year. Colorful sets and costumes added considerably to the effect iveness of all four performances. Miss Niggli herself was respon sible for the costumes, and the -directors constructed their sets from odds and ends around the scene shop. ... ; . ' ; " '' "Sunday Costs Five Pesos" Here is the simplest, but most finished play of the quartet, a gay little comedy of flirtation centered about a lovers' quarrel and a village law requiring the initial offender in a Sunday fight to pay a fine of five pesos. It moves rapidly, with funny lines, lots of action, including folksy gestures and postures, and vig orous, colorful expressions. Play ing the leading role of Berta, Ellen Deppe was a spirited little empty-headed, fiery-tongued co quette. The support she receiv ed from the rest of the cast was spotty; Ralph Eichhorn, Jessie Langdale, Christine Maynard1, and Jean Ashe did their parts adequately, but failed to catch the spirit of play so successfully as did Miss Deepe. "Azteca" Objectively, this "tragedy of prenconquest Mexico," described by the author as an attempt to illustrate the type of drama which appeals to Mexican aud iences, was the most interesting on the bill. The Mexicans, she said, come to plays to hear word patterns without paying much attention 'to plot or characteri zation. Miss Niggli got away with her exercise in rhetoric rather well, and John Hardie and the versatile Miss Deppe put the play across in spite of the combined opposition of the rest Of the cast, who said their lines in a manner faintly suggestive of. high school children reciting Continued on last page) Correspondence o Thanks A Million To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: The Anti-war committee wish-' es to thank rail those who co operated with them and aided them in staging the anti-war ' strike last Wednesday. In particular, the committee wishes to express its gratitude to Dr. Graham and the adminis tration for granting the extra time for the demonstration, . to Mr. Rogerson who furnished the amplifiers, to the infirmary for lending the crutches and nurse's uniform,; to a kind gentleman in the building's department who lent some rope, to Coach Bob Fetzer who supplied a stretcher, to those who sacrificed their time to paint posters, to those who lent their cars, and to the faculty for speaking of the demonstra tion in their classes and partici pating so enthusiastically in it. The four : faculty members who ; spoke ,'at: the panel debate Wednesday night ih Graham Memorial! deserve many thanks and a great deal of praise for holding the interest-of the au dience without a slump for two hours and a half. . In fact the committee wishes to thank everyone, themselves included, except the weather man who did not foretell that it would rain at precisely 10 min utes after 10. , Chairman of Anti-war committee. The New Generation v v: i -f. : ) : : Niles Bond By Don Becker Niles W. Bond, president of the senior class next year, hates spinach but can go for a "Sweet Sixteen," which is the name of an ice cream sundae sold some place in New Hampshire for 30 cents and which' he has never been ablefto get. anywhere else. The sundae consists, he says, of four different kinds of ice cream plus ' "everything they had be hind the soda fountain." Senior Play (Continued from first page) parts have definitely been as signed: It is already a certainty that Francis Fairley will be the hero, and Jack Clare will be the villian. Fairley, who stands for fair play and square shooting, said last night just before going to bed at 8:30, "If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to let me know." Villianously chortling as he pushed several small iboys in front of speeding automobiles on Franklin Street, Jack Clare cun ningly refused to divulge the de tails of how he intends to under mine the status quo. "It will be an ill wind for the farmer's daughter when the traveling salesmen convention blows into town," snarled Clare. Absolutely no admission is to be charged. Everyone is asked not even to bring a silver offer ing. As a matter of fact, people will be searched before entering to see that no old shoes, eggs or tomatoes are hidden on prospec tive members of the audience. Niles stands six feet three inches in his sox and walks around in size 12 shoes. He car ries with him a New England ac cent (hes from Lexington, . Mass.), a dry sense of humorr and 'two fountain pens in case, one runs out of ink. He is a confirmed 'phone booth artist, only he calls it "unconscious art" Seldom does he wear pants and coat of the same material. He denies dressing out of Es quire, says he dresses like a damn Yankee. He doesn't smoke. His favorite author is Manuel Komroff. When a youngster he spent a year and a half on an Indian res ervation near the Restigouche river in northern Quebec. He was there because his father's business lumber carried him to that remote spot. In high school he made the tennis team and had his sense of humor com mented upon in the yearbook. He's majoring in government at the University with the view of entering the foreign service after graduation. He was 20 years old last February. His campus activities are: President rising senior class, pres ident Foreign Policy league, business . manager Buccaneer, business staff of The Daily ' Tar Heel University" Club, Amphoterothen, Inter-dormitory council, president of Grimes dor- , mitory, junior class dance committee, Phi Assembly, honor committee.

Cay rode all over town Saturday afternoon in a buggy drawn by a moth-eaten horse, and he didn't stop for the i stop light, either. Augusta, Ga. and New York City got together in the persons of Tom Fry and Bert Winkler Saturday afternoon and played 27 holes of golf. Egg hunting seems to be the order of the day for Ph.D's and young ; co-eds, although it is af ter Easter, Physicist Sherwood Lriznens ana l empe xaroorougti skipped the anti-war strike to ride out in the byways for eggs at each farmer's house. After several hours of such amuse ment, the car stuck in the mud due to Tempe's driving, and the physics instructor was late for his lab. The following day was Tempe's birthday, so Late-to-Lab Githens sent her 12 fresh eggs, each wrapped individually with the phrase "From the old Ph.D." written on it. Gordon Burns and Dick Bur nette visited their parents in Rocky Mount over the weekend, and Gordon returned with a new suit. Among the Carolinians who preferred Woman's College beau ty at the Freshman Prom in stead of imports at the May Frolics were Fred Cook, Craig Mcintosh, and Ted Britt, who were in the figure, Gene Mcin tosh, Scott Hunter, John Munch, George Puig, Ben Brown, Alex Farmer, Wythe Quarles, Louis Midgette, and Philip.
