The happy conclusion to a long struggle by friends of the University to secure for the under graduates here the blessings of adequate facili ties for physical education the present celebra tion is a tribute to the loyalty of the alumni, the benevolence of a taxpayer's government, and the industry of the particular administrators, includ ing Mr. Woollen. But proper appreciation must go beyond a two day festival and exhibit itself in the intelligent use of these and the other facilities of the Uni versity for which the above three groups have long worked to improve. It has been the combined ef forts of these three that provided in the past the emphasis on education for the state, and it is even now the combined efforts of these three that are working for new endowments and increased appropriations (of Federal as well as of state na ture) for further building and research, more scholarships, and for higher quality teaching. It is the efforts of these three which all along pro vide the bare facilities; the rest of the job of education is a matter of each of our individual appetites. , ..... . While all of this tribute to the alumni, the tax payers, and the administrators is appropriate and sincere, it should not be left unsaid that all three, regardless of their contributions to the Univer sity, should recognize the wisdom of "leaving the f University free." Outside contributions should not mean, for the good of the society which re quires such a thing as a liberal University, out side direction,, dictation, or policy control.

After an early meeting tomor row morning at 8 o'clock by the grand staff and a second regis tration period from 9 until 9:30, the convention will be resumed with a general meeting at 9 :30 at Graham Memorial. Rev. Don ald Stewart will give the invoca tion, after which Dean R. B. House will deliver the' address of welcome.' Response will be by Dr. Kenneth P. Stevens of Cen tral college, Fayette, Mo. Night Program More business and committee gatherings will follow lunch to morrow, and the night program will be filled with a dance in the main lounge of Graham Memo rial. Jere King's orchestra will supply the music. The final day of the conven tion will be occupied with busi ness meetings, inspections of Carolina and Duke medical schools, and the climaxing event, a banquet at 7:30 at the Caro lina inn Saturday night.

Is Enthusiast Of Dramatics In High School By Atjoan Chaxles Sties If you want to find out some thing about a man, and if he is rightfully busy, go and see his wife. No matter how busy she is, the lady will talk. Thus Mrs. Doris Parker, who works in Professor Koch's office and who is the wife of John W. Parker, the state representative On The Air O tHE "GREAT DAY" DRAWS NEAR ... . ? The Student-Faculty Day committee gathered Sn Dean House's office yesterday afternoon for another long session in preparation for "The threat Dav " Anril 5 when there will be no classes. ' The series of events following the king-queen coronation ceremonies in the morning will be dor mitory open house, student-faculty luncheon dates, an afternoon feature not yet revealed, fraternity open house, stunt night in Memorial hall, and finally the colorful costume dance until midnight. The theme of the 4th student-faculty day wil be, according to Chairman Randy Berg, a more-intimate-than-ever introduction of the student body to the faculty and the faculty to the student body an introduction that will not disappear at midnight but rather encourage a tradition of con tinuous friendship between the two isolated groups. The carnival main event of the past three years will be done away with, committeemen said yesterday. The new afternoon feature will be a framework for joint activity between faculty members and students. Fraternity and dormitory open houses will be lenghtened this year, groups will be smaller, to encourage informality. The committee that has been working consis tently in Dean House's office in the afternoons has the ambition to move two mountains : the 7:30 "We, the People," di rected by Gabriel Heatter (WHAS). 8 :00 Frank Craven and other members of the Broadway cast of "Our Town" will present a radio adaptation of . the play on Kate Smith's program (WBT) ; Rudy Vallee's Variety Hour (WSB) ; "The March of Time" (WJZ). 9:00 "Good News of 1938," presenting Bob Taylor and Con nie Boswell (WEAF or WSB) ; Major Bowes' Amateurs (WDNC). 9:30 America's 'Town Meet ing of the Air (WJZ). 10 :00 Mischa Levitzky will be the guest of Bing Crosby and Bob Burns in the Kraft Music Hall (WSB). - - - and executive secretary of the Carolina Dramatic association, explained her husband's work in the current festival which comes to a close Saturday. Mr. Parker, who has had his position lor. lour years, is m charge of a project commonly believed to be the most extensive of its sort in the country. In cluding most types of dramatic expression, it combines 103 members groups emenating from junior high schools, high schools, colleges, and WPA thea ter companies. As executive secretary, Parker administrates the policies of the combined organization, and travels to the various groups frequently to give supervision and aid. Convinced of the ad vantages a stimulation of in terest in the native drama, Parker has been an enthusiastic exponent of the inclusion pf drama in high school curricu-lums. Largely through his efforts three courses in dramatic art are now offered by state schools producing much of the work on exhibit here this week. This summer he will conduct a course at the University for high school students interested in the drama. They will be given credit for the courses in their local schools. - Mrs. Parker remarked that Mr. Parker "is just about re sponsible for everything at this festival." She thinks that he will probably make his present ac tivities his life work, combining them with the teaching of ex tensive courses throughout the state. A part of his duties is the sending out of information to any member of the association who desires it. Mrs. Parker concluded her re- Prof essor Kauf mann To Discuss Theory, Metaphysics Of Art Philosophy Lecturer Will Speak This Afternoon, Tomorrow Night Professor Fritz Kauf mann of Freiburg, Germany, will make an informal talk to a small group this afternoon and a pub lic lecture tomorrow night under the auspices of the philosophy department.

Presentation Program For Gym Opens Today POP QUIZ By Bob Perkins At the recent convention of the National Puzzlers' league in Cincinnati one of the leaders suggested a search for four numbers adding to 56, whose squares totaled 1,000. He sub mitted the question to show that he was not always in a complex frame of mind. Perhaps the math department might consider it not complex. Answer to yesterdays quiz: The four weights would be 1, 3, 9, 27. With these you can cor rectly weigh anything up to 40 pounds. marks saying: "And you can write that he's the cutest thing, likes Ipana toothpaste and wears size 14J shirt.

Bobbins Column Forward- Author's note: Guest columnist this issue is J. Scott Hunter, senior, Phi Beta Kappa, and President of the Y. He writes on the A. 5?. TI. In the age when Roman legions were carrying the intellectual and artistic culture of the Empire tor' the ends of the world the fundamental premise of the political philosophy was slavery. It was universally assumed that a large slave population was required to perform services which were un worthy of fully civilized men. A community could not be self sustaining. An enslaved substratum of the population was essential to support the civiliz ed apex. But some minds and the more acute soc ial consciences found it difficult to reconcile the doctrine of slavery with certain plain facts of moral feeling. The political philosophy of our day has as its fundamental premise freedom. Freedom, liberty, equality are words that produce positive and fa vorabl eresponses in the minds of all of us. But we find it difficult to reconcile our doctrine of freedom with a large group of plain facts, per plexing, and hateful. We don't want airplanes dropping bombs and poison gases on cities. We don't want slums and Tobacco Roads. In this land of potential abundance we don't want undernou rished, ragged children. But from China and Spain come stories of the atrocities of modern warfare: In our own America forty million pe ple one-third of the population are underfed, poorly housed and clothed in rags. We are forced to make a series of lame V' f ications for our Ideal. The humanitarians of the classical age could not have freed the slave popu lation. The result would have been the collapse of the structure of the civilization. They had t be content with legislation affecting the humane treatment of the slaves. We in the modern orla are powerless to change the attitude of our P that places property rights before human rig3 and results in the virtual slavery of mankind things. But we are in an age of transition. e are achieving. And, as in every age of transition (Continued on last page)
