P Alumni Home
Last suhlmer Prominent Alumnus .John Sprunt
Hill made a gift of the Carolina Inn to the Uni
versity. After weeks of consideration, the ad
ministration agreed to turn the Chapel Hill show
place over to the alumni for their headquarters
and hangout, the fundamental idea being to make
the Inn a place where the old grads could feel at
home.
Except for the various alumni affairs that have
been held at the Inn during the winter, the first
real opportunity for the "headquarters" to func
tion strikingly comes next week with commence
ment exercises and the return of many alumni
for University, graduation exercises. All reg
istering, assigning dormitory rooms, and alumni
sessions will .be conducted this year at the Inn.
Mr. Saunders (moved now to offices in tjie newly
built Inn annex) and Manager Duke are planning
to make it the-center of activity for past Carolina
men on their return to the Hill,
Already certain alumni have shown their hear
ty approval of the move to set up attractive, per
manent headquarters for older University men,
the Carolina Club atmosphere has certainly be
gun to show itself there,N and the blue on the ac
count books is growing heavy but the making of
a really distinctive alumni center is still a goal.
This coming commencement gives an opportunity
for the Inn to hit that warm spot in the alumni
heart. J.M.S.

Inter-State Exchange
A pitifully small number of out-of-state stu
dents from the South come to Carolina. And to
the state-supported schools of these states go an
equally small number of North Carolinians.
In these days of easy transportation, the mu
tual benefit that would come with a free exchange
of students between states is ignored. Such an
interchange would enlarge the educational oppor
tunities of students in all states involved.
In spite of the federal ban against interstate
tariffs, these institutions charge out-of-state tui
tion fees. Why not abolish non-resident fees for
students who come here from a state where an
almost equal ratio of North Carolinians attend
that state's publicly supported institutions?
To make up for the actual loss in revenue, those
students whose states cannot or will not recipro
cate could be assessed $300 per year as a non
resident fee. This would .principally affect many
northern boys whose states 'would not be in a
position to reciprocate, and who come to Carolina
to 'get an -education cheaply.
Carolina is a member of the American Asso
ciation of American Universities. Our charges
are by far the lowest of any school in this group.
Raising the out-of-state fee to $300 would merely
bring us up to the average price level.
At present these out-of-state students cost the
University over $200 a head. Why not let all
who do not recTprocate pay their way in full?-

Review of 'Tost Road
ft
By Ellen Deppe
The second presentation of
the Federal Theater players in
Chapel Hill was marked by no
such disturbance as the first
play. The curtain, which refus
ed to close on Jefferson Davis
heroic figure, worked smoothly
for Wilbur Steele and Norma
Mitchell's two act comedy, "Post
Road," given in Memorial hall on
Tuesday night. Some of the au
dience rather missed the excit
ing diversion of the asbestos
curtain falling with a crash to
climax each scene. But there
was a faint titter of amused ap
preciation when someone tried
to use the amplifying system to
reproduce a baby's cry offstage
and succeeded in raising a noise
faintly reminiscent of .the wail
of a lonely and hungry wolf.
"Post Road," as a play, has
everything in its favor. It is a
light, clever, exciting play whose
lines carry it along at a swift
tempo. It is a play that will un
questionably appeal to the types
of audiences to which it will us
ually be played in small towns
of North Carolina. To a Chapel
Hill audience it was much less
successful. Perhaps tlie resi
dents of a University town de
mand more in the way of enter
tainment. Perhaps it was pre
sented too soon after , "Lysis
trata," which would certainly
put any light, modern play to
shame.
The set was particularly well
done. The stage furnishings
and details were carefully plan
ned and executed, and the excel
lent lighting combined to make
the technical end of the play par
ticularly worthy of praise.
. The actors played the piece in
broad farce manner, and Thom
as Carnahan, as George Preble,
took first honors for a sincere
and amusing performance. His
voice was clear and distinct at
all times, his character was clev
erly developed, his gestures
broad and amusing. Mildred
Byron and Halbert W; Brown
ran a close second, Miss Byron
giving an excellent, if some
what strained interpretation of
May Addison Preble, George's
wife, and Mr. Brown's interpre
tation of the honey-mouthed,
hypocritical minister who later
turns out to be a criminal was
neatly done. Guy Standing, Jr.
was relegated to a less important
role in this play, but proved him
self to be an even better actor
as the leader of a gang of kid
nappers. '
Unfortunately, "the play hing
es about the character of one
person, a middle aged lady who
runs a tourist home. Unfor
tunately, because Julia Fassett,
who took this part, could not be
heard belond the third row. Even
the first row had difficulty under
standing her. The fault lies
partly in the acoustics of Memo
rial hall, but not entirely, for the
audience had no difficulty und
erstanding many of the other
persons on the stage. She did
not seem to comprehend the role
(again perhaps the fault of the
acoustics), and seemed muddled
in her actions and voice. She
was much better in the last scene
than in any other, but on the
whole her performance seemed
the poorest of all.
Because of this the play as a
whole lacked that necessary co
ordination which makes a dra
matic work more than a mere
conglomeratfon of words. But
it was certainly a far cry from ,
"Jefferson Davis," and if the
next production of the Federal
players is as far a cry from
"Post Road" it will prove the
worth of the Federal Theater
Project.

Yesterday's Headline
To the Editor
The Daily Tar Heel:
It is well-known that report
ers and editors have their own
difficulties in making a readable
record of events when the re
port must be put into print
promptly while the news is still
"hot" and especially when the
desired information must be ob
tained second-hand. I am quite
sure, however, that the editors
of the Daily Tar Heel will wel-
come an opportunity to make a
correction when misrepresenta
tions have unwittingly been
made.
I have reference to the head
line and first two .paragraphs of
the text of your report on the
first page of today's Daily Tar
Heel with reference to the re
cent faculty meeting. As to the
headline, little need be said. Pre
sumably your headline writer,
like great Homer, occasionally
finds himself overpowered "by a
protesting nervous system. Cer
tainly the headline "Faculty Re
verses Decision on Consolidation
Resolution," in any sense in
which it could be interpreted by
the reader, contradicts both the
action of the faculty and the,
text of your article.
Second, as regards the text
in the first two paragraphs taken
together, it. is reported that af
ter a discussion lasting more
than an hour the faculty "voted
decisively not to ask to be heard
by the Board of Trustees at their
meeting in Greensboro, Satur
day, when the question of con
solidation of engineering educa
tion is to be reopened." 1 (Italics
are mine.) It is quite certain
that the faculty did not vote such
a resolution and I do not recall
even that a resolution to that ef
fect was introduced. The fac-H
ulty voted on two resolutions re
lating to the original "Consoli
dation Resolutions," viz., the mo
tions of Drs. Bullitt and Wag
staff, which are correctly re
ported in your article. Neither
of these, nor any other action,
to my knowledge (I speak un
officially, but as an attendant
throughout the whole faculty
meeting) gives support in any
way to the statements in the first
two paragraphs of your news re
port, the statements that possib
ly mislead your headline editor.

WPA TEMPTATION
No sooner had the Senate's
subcommittee put its "ok" on
that much disputed $2,425,000,
000 extra relief blill that our
youngest solon arose. Rush Holt,
barely passed his senatorial ma
jority, told his colleagues that
the WPA was "the greatest and
best oiled political machine in
the country."
Mr. Holt did not mention the
Democratic political machine in
his statement. Mr. Holt is a
Democrat. Yet, obviously
Democrat. Yet obviously enough
the WPA 'machine" is only a
cog in "Two-Job" Jim Farley's
mechanical powerhouse.
"Starve or vote" is the rule
the WPA politicos lay down, ac
cording to Mr. Holt. In a set up
of WPA's necessary nature, the
temptation is too great for those
in -charge. Foremen don't want
to see their workmen vote every
body out of a job.
Easy WPA jobs are political
gravy. The Democrats in charge
are going to pour that gravy
where it will sop up the most
votes.
Roosevelt's greatest responsi
bility to the tax payer is the
judicious use of his money in
the execution of laws. But
Roosevelt couldn't kick Farley
out. If he tried, Farley would
elect someone else president.
Two books, "German- Agricul- .
tural Policy, 1918-1934" iby John
B. Holt and "Bill Williams,
Mountain Man" by Alpheus H.
Favour have recently been re
leased by the University Press.
The first is a detailed account
of ambitious designs for social
planning, for abolishing land
capitalism, for the enforcement
of collective bargaining, and the
rise of national socialism in Ger
many. This account covers 200
pages and is priced at $2.50. "
The latter book is the account
of the life of "Old Bill Williams,"
a native of North Carolina, and
his experiences in invading the
West, his contacts with the In
dians, and finally, his death at
the hands of the Utes. The price
of the book, which covers ap
proximately 300 pages,, is $3.50.
