The sum mer audience thrilled with" Bizet's entire song of the Toreador. Now again: Ridi Pagliaeco! . . and MartineHi voiced Leoncavallos immortal pas sage. 1 Last summer it was that sound engineers rig ged up the amplification system in Kenan sta dium to bring to hundreds of listeners, seated un der the stars, masterpieces from the musie de partment's disc collection. Summer school offi cials found the program eminently popular and, incidentally, quite inexpensive. Right now we have the same records, the same sound engineers, the same enthusiasm for good music, more than twice the number of students to enjoy the pro grams and the sam twinkling stars. Nothing stands in the way. If the Y or Graham Memorial would lead the way, there could easily be at least two evenings for Caruso to sing in Kenan before examinations start us studying.

' Space here forbids more than a mere mention of several outstanding developments in recent years. It seems significant that the University has furnished two of the past presidents of the American Chemical So ciety: Dr. Francis Preston Yenable and Dr. Charles Holmes Herty. The achievements of both men are rated tops in the chemistry world. Bunsen Burner - Dr. Yenable, who was President of the Society in 1905, devised a new form of Bunsen burner, the same in prin ciples as in general use today. Regarding ".his invention be said in & maaxine article of that time: The main feature is that the supply of gas is regulated at the base of the burner by a milled wheel and that this supply is diminished only at the issuing jet inside the chimney. Dr. Yenable evidently did not then recognise the great money value of this modification of the burner, since for six burners be sold the right of their manufacture and sale.-- ' At different intervals, 1SS0-1S0O Dr. Yenable served as bead of the University Chemistry Department. He was president of the University from 1900-1913. Er. Herty, another former bead of the Department who attended the recent convention, , was President of the American Chemical Society in 1915-1$. His recent deve lopment of a process, for making newsprint from slash pine apparently presages a revolution in the manufacture of newsprint. , To chemists acquainted only from a distance with the University, the names of Baskerville, Herty, Yenable, Bell, Wheeler, Cameron and Mack are perhaps the most fam iliar. Dr. Charles Baskerville was bead of the Department at the turn of the century. In 1904 be went to New York where his reputation continued to advance. Dr. Frank K. Cameron, who was honorary chairman of the convention, is well known throughout the country for his plan for converting cotton into oil and alpha cellulose. He and a group of associates have had considerable suc cess with experiments whereby cotton is planted broad cast and mown and baled like hay. If it can be perfected the process should revolutionize cotton production and bring greater profits to farmers. Dye Work Dr. A. S. Wheeler, who served as head of the Depart ment until 1934 when ill health forced him to resign, had won an enviable reputation for his work ia dyes. Chemistry has played an important role ia the curri cuhxm ef the University since it first opened its doors to students in 1T5 Ia those humble beginnings the Uni versity offered a course ia chemistry, geometry, astro nomy, and natural and moral philosophy. Since then the University's Chemistry Department has undergone a steady expansion unta today it enjoys the distinction of havingr one of the best equipped plants and ablest facul ties ia the country. Dr. MicXider Dr. Wiliiara deR MacXJder, Kenan Research Professor of Pharmacology ia the School of Medicine has won wide recognition for his original investigations ia diseases cf the kidney. The New York Academy of Medicine award ed him the Gibbs prise ia 1951 and a year later the Sou thern Medical Association presented hha with its achieve ment medal As a result- of his investigations over a period cf years, Dr. MacXider has discovered that tissue cells damaged by chemical poisons have less resistance to second attacks if they are regenerated ia complete or perfect form. When the cells are regenerated ia aa imperfect form the organ develops greater resistance, Dr. MscXider said. This acute Brights disease. . Dr. Coker Prominent ia Kolcgical research is Dr. Robert EL Coker, head cf the Zoology Department, now serving- a three- year term as Chairman cf the Division cf Biology and Agriculture cf the National Research Council and recently named President of the Ecological Society of America. Important research ia sponges has been made by Dr. H. Y. Yulsoa, easeritss head of the Zoology Department, whose work has attracted international attention. Dr. Headersea Although he is perhaps better known as biographer-rs-chSef cf Bernard Shaw, Dr. Archibald Henderson, head of the Mathematics Department, is regarded as aa authority ca the Easie!a theory cf relativity and has made impor tant contractions cf his owa to that theory. Contradicting theories held by some other geologists, Dr. W. F. Prouty, head cf the Geology Department, and a group cf associates announced recently that, as a result ef extensive surveys and experiments covering several years, they had obtained coavincingr proof' that the aumherecs eGiptKal shared bays and lake basins ia the coastal plain areas cf North and South Carolina were formed by the impact cf massive meteorites striking; the earth at a comparatively small angle to the hcrisc Osatic Ray Particles Chenrsts ait to see ia operation deed chamber apparatus' fcr photo graphing; the tracks ef cosmic ray particles and particles frons rad&active substances This apparatus was ecn structed by Dr. A.

Grouped under the light post the students bewail the condi tions in a school where there are no coeds. The following after noon there is a meeting of the executive board of the univer sity. Funds are short ; where to get them is the question. It is learned that by putting a soph omore (the board protests in horror) at the head of the ex ecutive board, five million bucks can be had. Coed Admission The sophomore will accept the proposition only on the condi tion "that we have coed admis sion." Geddie Monroe plays the sophomore, Quadrangle Jones. The romantic element of the plot gets underway in the next scene after the coeds nave been admitted. A boy meets a coed. Playing leading roles are Ged die Monroe, Nancy Sehailert, Mary Lillian Speck, Stanley Van Cise, Audrey Rowell, Sue South erland, and Lillian Hughes. Bert Halperin is chairman of the ev ecative board of the university. Other parts include Tom Story, Paul WaSach, Julius HUf- man, Henry Bluestcne, Horace CPU Celebrates Year's Achievements (Continued from first page) vestigation of charges made by Brewster against Congressman Cochran of a voting bribe, Brew ster said, "I felt exactly the same as I did when Ins nil tried to put the screws on me in Maine. At that time I was de feated for the senate and con gress and went through a verit able hell because I fought TrtynTI. But when it comes to a funda mental issue of that kind and someone tries to use a club on me, there is only one answer tell them to go to hell and do the opposite.'

Rushing Rules Are Published DANGEROUS COMPANY According to press releases, the Republican congressmen have joined Senator Bailey's against - the - court - packers Washington writers call the un ion a '"coalition' How cohesive the new group will be Mr. Bailey himself prob ably does not know. One thing is certain, the addition of the Republican bloc has given Mr. Bailey's coalition a new flavor. Mr. Bailey comes up for re election next year. To the pal ates of his constituency, this G. O. P. taint may be bitter. Or if the President admits defeat and backs down it may not te so bitter. The only trouble is t- tTt Roosevelt doesn't back-up easily. Except, cf course, when he adru cates economy.
