A full house of '38 Seniors laughed together as "a band of brothers" for the first time since .the University club smoker for the same group during freshman week four years ago. And out side df the regular "wide-open" class dances and rare senior stunt nights, this was the first class occasion of exactly the same warmth and exclu- siveness that the campus has known for a num ber of years according to our memory service. The Special Show was a successful senior class "function," even though the 'fun, was furnished by an extra-class source. MR. GIRDLER AND THE PICTURE We frankly aren't getting upset over Mr. Gird lers coming, for one thing, or over the showing of the riot scenes, for another. If an intelligent group of students wants to re 'view the findings of the LaFollette committee, which have been published by. the government, as a part of their bringing themselves up to date on national affairs, that is all right and to be ap plauded. Preparation for very visitor, part of which the Tar Heel gives in its news stories, would make every platform occasion much more meaningful for all of us. . Only if there should occur a display of bitter feeling and propagandistic misvaluation of the material at hand would there be any cause for alarm. Students should be acquainted with the situation from which Mr. Girdler, as a represen tative, of a definite block of popular opinion, speaks, but they should not be worked up to the point of refusing to believe beforehand that Mr. Girdler has anything at all to say. There is value in being acquainted with every fact about a man before you hear him, but likewise, there can be no value in fortifying yourself against hearing him intelligently and honestly. The men who review the LaFollette reports tonight ought to make a really educational matter out of it. . - DEBT DO YOU miOT YOURSMir?

The return of the journalism department to even this indirect, association with the publications marks the closing of an eight year breach, although Mr. Spearman will ave to face the same 3-2 student majority that Mr. Coffin experienced. (1 fBoy Meets Girl" By Bill Hudson SPEARMAN WILL TAKE THE OATH Journalism Prof. Walter Spearman has just been appointed to serve on the Publications Union Board as one of the two faculty representatives. For eight years the faculty members of the board have been picked from other departments, principally from the English and economics ranks. Professor 0. J. Coffin, head of the jour nalism department, quit a five-year period of ser vice in 1930, on the occasion of his discontent ment with board policies. The way Mr. Spearman, as a professional pub lications man himself and a former Tar Heel editor, will fit into his new job will consequently be interesting to watch. The board has no authority over the editorial policies of the editors of the four publications, but it does handle the financial end, letting con tracts, appointing business managers, and in the case of the Tar Heel, the board appoints the managing editor who is responsible for the me chanics of "getting the paper out every morning." Most schools have a direct supervision of stu dent publications, both the editorial policy and daily routine, by the journalism teachers. Caro lina is a brilliant exception, with the degree dis cord, or disconnection, between the teachers and There is something sadly ironical about the long Broad way run of "Boy Meets Girl," which is classified as " an au thentic satire of Hollywood." The Spewacks play is not satire; it is spread out in too broad and thin a layer of wise cracks, and is too lacking in satire's deep bite beneath the surface. It leaves the major fail ings of the movies only haphaz ardly and superficially exploit ed. Too sophisticated and light of touch to be straight burlesque, and not deep enough or bitter enough to be satire, it belongs in a genre which one might call high burlesque. The ironical thing is that this is the genre in which the movies most suc cessfully imitate and rival the stage, a genre which they have outstripped the stage in devel oping: consciously or otherwise, the Spewacks assured their fling at Hollywood a long run by choosing a form which the movies have made dear to the frivolous American heart. "Boy Meets Girl" is disap pointing as satire; but as high burlesque it is quite satisfying to the movie-formed tastes of most audiences. You see the Playmakers' excellent produc tion of it and go through all the risible exercises from chuckle to guffaw; but when you come away, you feel just as you do when you leave any successful Hollywood comedy: in your mouth is a good taste, but noth ing to chew on. The initial production Wed nesday evening was by no means flawless, but most of the faults were of the type that are elimi nated in the first night settling down; groping for elusive lines and cues, imperfect synchro nization of speeches with the re sponses of the audience, and careless articulation. The pecu liar nature of the crowd up roarious and solemn by unex pected turns emphasized the last two flaws. On the whole, however, the opening night performance was earnest both of splendid subse quent productions and of fine things in the future from How ard Bailey, the director. It was a family triumph for the Bai leys: Mrs. Bailey assumed Su sie's "condition" and ambition THE CAST Robert Law Robert Finch Larry Toms Pete Callahan J. Carlyle Benson Noel Houston Rosetti ......

POP QUIZ By Bob Perkins Roy Armstrong's son has lived in three different years, but he has never lived through all of any one month twice. The difference between living through this month twice and living twice through the next nearest month is 14 days. How old is Roy's son today? Answer to yesterday's quiz : It will take 16 seconds for the clock to strike 12 o'clock. It took 3 seconds to strike 3 o'clock. This leaves an interval of IV2 seconds between the strikes (two intervals between 3 strikes). So multiply 12 by 11 and you have I6V2. (Ellen: Don't forget.) BIRTHDAYS TODAY (Please call by the ticket office of the Carolina theater for a com plimentary pass.) JANUARY 27 Randall Challen Berg Merle William Davis Victor Dawson Charles Christian Gunterberg Carlisle Wallace Higgins, Jr. Thomas Clifford Joyce i John Wexley Spears JANUARY 28 Harold Simson Cone Ralph Emerson Foster, Jr. Thomas Bland Keys Byrd Farmer Merrill John Malcolm Nisbet William Irving Shores Joseph Woodrow Wilson Five members of the Publications Union board gathered around the Grail table in Graham Me morial yesterday and read a financial statement that showed a net decrease in the value of their investments of $4357.63. Such a loss was incurred over a period of five months, from July 31 to December 31, 1937. The student body owns, and the P. U. board controls, 199 shares of various common stocks listed on the New York curb market. The most valuable of these are 10 shares of American Tele phone and Telegraph selling; December 31, at $144.50 per share. The least valuable, December 31, were 25 shares of Illinois Central R. R. Co. selling at $9.25 per share. Recession The decrease in value of these shares, owned by the student body, drives home'the fact that there is a current "recession." Since January 1 the total value has further decreased, it was esti mated yesterday, by around ?2,000. The total value of the assets of the P. U.. board with the New York market still moving toward new lows, is estimated to date as about $10,000. Such a surplus has been maintained by the board for "emergencies." An emergency came in 1929. And for two years the board drew $4,000 from the surplus to cover losses incurred by the publications. Radio Studio Tf a radio station is established, the assets of the board will be reduced. by another $4,000. If stocks continue to dcrease in value, if the "recession" develops into a depression, ' if the board would, again, have to draw from its sur plus, the above figures show that the Publica tions Union probably would either have to dis solve or increase the quarterly taxes paid by each student. - ' POINT OF VIEW By Ramsay Potts Memphis, Tenn., is one of the few cities in the U. S. that openly recognizes its political boss. Ed ward Hull Crump has so long dominated the local and state politics of the Memphis region that his wish has come to be accepted as an ultimatum. State legislators decide a controversial ques tion by delegating members of their group to find out what Mr. Crump thinks. And they have usually decided as Mr., Crump dictated. Break Under the present Tennessee Governor Brown ing, the state administration made an open break with powerful Crump and his political machine. They revised the voting system and introduced f county it Plan which limits the influence of hirge cities on the outcome of state-wide pri maries. Obviously this was to curb the influences of one man. TZ ?lU.mp hasset his rces in motion.
