Open Tonight Administration Turns Down Rabb's Honors College Plea The administrative board of the college of arts and sciences decided Wednesday that the ap plication of Stuart Rabb for ad mission into the Hibbard honors college was not to be accepted. The board declared that the 1928 honors plan college was dead, and that there was no pos sibility or reason for its revival. Rabb's application has been referred to O. J. Coffin, journal ism department head and Rabb's chief adviser, in order to outline a plan along the lines outlined in Rabb's petition. The announcement made by administration officials comes as the result of the petition which the University junior presented to Dean Hobbs on January 4 of this year. Tutorial System Rabb asked permission to pur sue his studies under a tutorial system with the direction of a group of professors whose en dorsement he attached to his pe tition. His plan was similar to the Hibbard honors plan which was formulated by Dr. Addison Hibbard, former dean of the col lege of liberal arts. For nine years the plan lay dormant and no applications were made for entrance. Last fall a group of students consid ered the revival of the plan, and this re-interest resulted in Rabb's application. The administrative board met on January 20 to consider the honors petition, but they could not agree as to the advisability of allowing the applicant to fol low the Hibbard precedent. The board was deadlocked and decid ed to meet again this week. Plan Dead "Throughout the period dur ing which the plan was under consideration, the members of the administrative board have shown genuine interest and sym pathy in the plan. They have at no time been dogmatic or dicta torial. I have talked with two of the members of the group, and there is no doubt but that their decision, in my opinion, was wise one," said Rabb yesterday. Town girls will be honored at a dance tonight given by Gra ham Memorial in the main lounge of the student union from 9 to 1 o'clock.

Haynsworth, Toms To Sing LeadingRoles Opens Under Auspices Of Department of Fine Arts With Professor John Toms of the music department and Mary Haynsworth singing the leading juvenile roles, the Music depart ment and the Playmakers have collaborated for the Fine Arts department's production of the Pirates of Penzance" to be given in Memorial hall at 8:30 tonight and tomorrow. Toms will sing the tenor role of Frederic. This is his second experience with the part. Dur ing the summer he sang the role in the University - of Michigan Repertoire Theater's production of "Pirates." First Act The first act of the Gilbert Sullivan comic opera takes place on the rocky seashore of the Cornwall coast. A band of pi rates occupy a cave in the rocks, while their schooner lies at anchor nearby. The pirates are celebrating in song the fact that Frederic is no longer an appren tice. He announces that he is going to leave the pirates, and urges the leader to go with him. Daily Tar Heel To Ask The Pirate King refuses, and Students Opinions makes fun of his respectable bet- ters. A Daily Tar Heel survey of student opinions on 8 o'clock becomes self -consciouslv melo- classes, five hour courses, the dramatic, Sullivan copies the semester system, and a "Good- music after the Italian ' grand Pass-Fail" grading system will Pera style.
