ASSEMBLY FAVORS CHILD LABOR BILL Phi Initiates Five New Members At Session After a spirited address by Representative Bill Broadfoot against the bill, Resolved, That the Phi assembly approve of the child labor amendment, and a number, of speecnes Dy pro ponents of the bill, the Phi as sembly favored passage by a 30 to 5 vote in its weekly meeting in New East last night. Broadfoot declared that work would not be harmful to farm McPherson of the! children and should not be pro- "LOCAL" AS WELL AS NATIONAL RECOGNITION, NOW The equivalent of five packed houses saw the latest Playmaker show, "Boy Meets Girl." One production of experimental plays held last week drew crowds which packed the upstairs offices as well as the theater proper. Every production whether the audience paid admission or not, has this year been well attended. Last year, and the year before that, and as far back as we can remember (fall of 1934) this has not been so. It has not been uncommon for the curtain to rise on a major season ticket attraction with no more than 25 spectators in the house. This sudden rise in the popularity of the Play maker nroductions seems to be due to three causes: first, and we think the most important, is the student board, which meets with the faculty staff of the Playmakers at every session to dis cuss matters of policy affecting both themselves and the staff. It acts as a liason; presents stu dent opinion. Again, it gives the students confi dence in the staff; assures them that, the staff will not make them swallow anything they don't particularly want. Second reason is the further division of duties shared by the faculty members of the Playmaker staff. Before last fall, Harry Davis, business manager, aside from his managerial duties, was obliged to act as scenic director, scenic designer technical director, and on the side, teacher of several classes in lighting and technique. With the coming of Howard Bailey, formerly state director ;of the 5 Federal Theater, to the staff, Mr. Davis left his' managership; and was able to spend full time on production and teaching. University medical school spoke rane was acting upon an order, to the members of Alpha Epsi- lon Delta at their regular meet ing last night. Dr. McPherson's subject was "The Germ Theory of Disease in Medicine, Its History and the Great Men Who Have Been Re sponsible for Its Realization." At the meeting it was also an nounced that Dr. Carl V. Rey nolds, executive secretary of the state health department in Ra leigh, will speak publicly on the subject of "Svohilis" on Feb ruary 23. issued by President Kerley at the last meeting of the senate. Withdraw From Hall Under the leadership of Sena tor John Ramsay, ex-president of the senate, several delinquent senators halted business pro ceedings by an entanglement of constitutional privileges that re quired a recess of the senate in order that the constitutional committee might rule upon the case. When the decision was handed down by the committee through Cochrane, who in addi tion to his duties as treasurer and as head of the finance com mittee, was also acting as tem porary head of the constitutional committee, President Kerley was unconditionally upheld in his ruling, and Ramsay, followed by GLES By Aden Merrill Cast For New Play Begins Rehearsals "Sharecropper" Scheduled For Fourth Public Production Members of the cast of several of the senators who sid- "Sharecropper," Fred Howard's ed with him, withdrew from the senate hall. After the excitement subsid ed, the senate discussed joining with the Phi assembly in spon soring a Di-Phi ball February 18. The proposal was approved by the senate, and the finance committee was instructed to take the necessary steps for the execution of the plan. Opposition When the bill on the calendar was finally reached, Senator Riddle took the floor in opposi tion to it. He pointed out that the expense involved in the op eration of the proposed radio studio would not be worth the benefits to be derived from its use, and that the advertising it would provide is unnecessary to the University. Headed by Senator Gatton, several speakers took the floor in support of the bill indicating that the studio would be a com- three-act play which is to be the Playmakers' fourth pub lic production, held their first rehearsal Monday night in Me morial hall. Those performers who receiv ed their first instructions from director Harry Davis were: John Roughton, Robert Linker, Marguerite Lipscomb, Fred Koch, Jr., Robert Nachtmann, Francis Roughton, Donald Ro- hibited by legislation. "I'd rather have my boy in a sweat shop than in ,a 'Dead End street, learning to throw knives," he said in response to Representa tives Elmer Nance, Ben Dixon, and Pete Berkhimer, who had spoken in favor, of the bill. Con Argument Miss Claire Whitmore out lined the child labor amendment, giving briefly its points, history and a number of arguments against employment of children. She declared that farm chores T T 1 were making nuncnoacKs ana tuberculars of the farm children. Representative Nance favored the bill only if the amendment would apply to employment of minors in factories. Representa tive Dixon added a gruesome picture of sweat shops. Another bill scheduled for de bate, Resolved, That the legisla ture should appropriate, or the University should obtain funds from other sources, for con struction of a new YMCA build ing, was postponed. February 18 was set as the date of the Phi dance, music for which will be furnished by Stu art Huntley and his local orches tra. The dance will be held in Bynum gymnasium. Five new members, Moses The Student Council, on hearing the arguments of Messrs. Milton Hogan and Stuart Rabb, retard ed the radio studio issue to the Publications UrJoii board Monday night. f Yesterday afternoon the board met and moved that an unofficial poll be held February 24 to gage the "extent of campus support." Before the board will further consider the is sue a minimum of 800 voters will have to express an opinion. But if 401 of these ballots are favor able, it does not mean that a radio studio is a sure thing. The board will only further investi gate. If the board still believes a studio wise after the investigation, it will be established, probablr on borrowed money secured by the board's stocks and bonds. How will it, however, be operated? The operation cost will be around $400 per year. The money will come from the present publics tions fee of 6.90. But next year there will no re fund, or at most, a smaller refund. (This year 90c was returned.) So a vote in favor of the studio may not raise the fee. But it may reduce the refund. After the issue has run the gamut of student opinion and the investigation of the P. U. board, a radio studio may spring up in Graham Memor ial. Whether or not it is a curse or a boon to the University will depend on the efficiency of the management, the quality of the programs, and the co-operation of the stations in Durham, Char lotte, Winston, and Greensboro. senberg, Clemon White, Fred Meyer, George Pearson, Gene Langston, - Bill Hoyle, Dan Nachtmann, and Tom Fearing.

WORLD NEWS POINT OF VIEW By Ramsay Potts Third reason for success is the type of students . . . PV7.PT1R. after being used in plays. The campus was tired, and installation and aemonstrat not without cause, of seeing on the stage what PTnilH oHvTita it "6 " ' would provide. When the bill was at length voted upon, the senate made clear its approval of the project by an overwhelming majority. it calls "tvoical Playmakers," those individuals who substitute artiness! for ability. There may be further causes for the success of this year's playmaking. ' These three appear to be the leading causes. Packed houses attest far more than we can say in writing that the organ-1 ization is coming out of a rut which for at least four- years has threatened its existence. On The Air PARTY BOYS AT THE DOOR Bill Cole's Student party pulled itself together the other night, announced officers, tentative sen timents, and an endorsement of the radio studio.

Members of the union should bear in mind that this referen dum will not empower the board to raise the publications fee be yond the $6.90 maximum. It is to be expected however that if a future rebate is declared by the board, such a rebate nat urallv would be smaller if the additional expense of the radio studio is being met by publica tions fees. The board neither favors nor opposes the radio studio at the present time and will be guided in its final decision by tangible evidences of campus support of he project. s THE PUBLICATIONS UNION BOARD, Stuart Rabb, President. light.

The dirigible, the V6, lost her bearings during a snowstorm and crashed into the side of a mountain. Search for the stranded scien tists continued, however, with three ice-breaker ships attempt ing to reach the area where the four are supposed to be. On exhibit in .the library is a small book en titled "The Code of Honor," published in 1858. The volume comes from the Southern Historical Collection, and is a grammar of duelling. Young hot-bloods of the pre-Civil War days regarded their honor as something to be defended at the points of a sword or with a finger ready for the trigger. This code doubtless served the same pur pose to the duelling conscious man of that day as Emily Post's "Etiquette" does to the social con scious people of this. Such guides reflect the change in customs, but cannot be regarded as a right mode of behavior. Ways of dressing and eating change just as do methods of handling insults. POP QUIZ By Bob Perkins Two men, each weighing 150 pounds, are traveling with two boys, each of whom weighs 75 nounds. Thev must cross a stream on which there is a boat capable of carrying 150 pounds only. All four can manage the boat. By using only nine trips of the boat (counting each way as one trip) can you figure how they manage to cross? Answer to Saturday's quiz. The Scotchman's telegram in detail: "Bruce is hurt. He raced a Ford : he wrecked it. Aunt PREACHER'S MURDER IS STILL UNSOLVED St. Simons Island, Ga., Feb. 8. The murder of Dr. Charles H. Lee, vice-hating Episcopal min ister, still remained unsolved today as the preacher wTas buried. Coroner J. D. Baldwin prom ised to "get at the bottom" of the rector's slaying "if we have to call every man and woman on St. Simons." The 71-year-old churchman was killed in his rectory last Saturday night as he was pre paring a sermon for the next day's services. Authorities stated that the murder probably was commit ted by someone with an intense dislike or personal grudge for the minister, who was noted for his face -to -face campaigns against vice. Erskine, Caldwell's wife is sueing him for di vorce, charging cruelty and mental torture. One young lady writes to ask how that fits in with Mr. Caldwell's status as farming conditions in the South. It doesn't. But being cruel to a share-cropper and being cruel to your wife are two things not to be compared. Dr. Archibald Henderson is a constant remind er that egotism can be both mellow and delight ful. His birthday party last spring furnished an example of his candid manner of admitting his achievements. Few men can remain so human after accomplishing so much as biographer, mathematician, artist, and historian. Gerald Johnson's tribute to him as the "cosmopolitan villager" is true and well-deserved. i wood studio, will be tonight's "Lights Out" presentation.

Of course I am wholeheartedly in support of anything that would further spread the fame and glory of Carolina, as this undoubtedly would tfeing m the radio game myself, I can possibly see in a wider scope the benefits that would ac crue from placing studios at the University. As I understand it, the nominal cost per stu dent in additional fees is relatively small-not enough to make or break any pocketbook. As 1 try to feel the student pulse through your paper, 1 believe that the majority is in favor of this pro ject but probably too lethargic to do anything about it. Then, too, it seems that the student council has only accentuated this apathetic attitude by set n f if8,!? e,nly ne for ting and requiring one half of the student body to vote.
