According to Professor John E. Toms, the men's glee club's presenta tion of the operetta "is the best per formance the club has given in my three years here." The club sang the operetta several times during the spring tour, and it was very favorab ly received each time. This is the first time the group has attempted to do such a thing.

Shaw, and Anthony, played bf Glen Starnes. The part of Pompey is played by Brooks Griffin, " and Charles Phillips sings the part .of King Tut. A highlight of the per formance is the presentation of a chorus song and dance by the 35 mem bers of the club.

Knight, Kenan professor of education in the University, declared yesterday in an address before the annual meet ing of the Alabama Congress of Par ents and Teachers in Montgomery. "The democratic aspiration is the foundation of a really democratic school system," said Dr. Knight. "It asserts direction rather than destination, and means a way of life and living rather than the end of a journey." Tracing the relationship of the mod ern educational system to the functions of a democracy, Dr. Knight said that the school must do more than transmit the culture in which it exists. SOCIETAL WELFARE "It must help to develop in indivi duals those qualities, capacities and dispositions that are commonly recog nized as useful for the general societal welfare independently thinking and acting individuals who see their noblest tasks in societal service," he continued. Dr. Knight said the aims of educa tion in a modern democracy are essen tially the same today as they were when the American republic was found In response to the argument of many that chan Pine- conditions alter all eciu national processes, Dr. Knight pointed out that, regardless of social change, certain aspects of culture remain sta tic, thus making it necessary that cer tai i nrineinles remain - !; I II ! - fit ' " ' -i Girls Glee club will present a comid New officers of the men's clubs are: Be Feature NEW FEATURES OF SUMMER SESSION Instruction, Visitors, Dates Are In Catalog" A new plan of graduate instruction, dates, and visiting faculty members are announced in the new 1939 Summer Session catalogue of the University.

The faculty group thus honored a tradition of complete acceptance of stu dent government, which has been broken only once in the University's history since student government was inaugurated. No further opportunity of appeal awaits the suspended students,, and they are expected to leave school very soon. The case is believed to have arisen from a handbill issued on election day, although the student council and the faculty have maintained their usual secrecy concerning suspensions. It has been reported that the students, "when; queried during elections, denied any knowledge of who issued the handbill. The council then allegedly conduct ed an investigation and discovered that the two students were largely respon sible for appearance of the . handbill, whereupon the students were tried for violation of the campus code and found guilty. Taking the only alternative left, the students appealed to the faculty for re instatement. The group which refused the appeal was composed of W. C. George, chairman, and John W. Las ley, administration appointees; W. D Perry and William Wells, appointed by request of the freshman; A. C. Howell and W. J. E. Crissey, appoint ed at request of the senior; and E. L Mackie'and" C.

Ac tivity in the sport events was marred but not halted by April showers. , The physical education faculty produced the most outstanding ac complishment of the day in handing the Order of the Grail a double de feat in the first double-header of the season. The double win gives the Athletic Instructors a perfect record of four wins and no losses. In the first game the Instructors gained an easy 4-1 victory behind the three-hit pitching of "Doc" Siewert. The only Grail run came in the second inning as a result of Bill McCachren's long home run. Felix Markham obtained the only other hits nicked off the of ferings of Siewert. Mullis pitched good ball for the losers but was touched for six hits, two by Siewert, and two by Barclay, and one by Dun ham and Cornwell.

Roose velt declared in a radio address not long ago: And today just that, is hap pening, the Daily Tar Heel doing its part by publishing the week-by-week polls of the Student Opnion Surveys of America, Tor the first time in the history of American democracy college youth now has a regularly-recurring sounding board for its opinions, which may well be said are the opinions that will mold the destinies of the future United States. The scientific sampling refer enda of the Student Opinion Surveys are presenting a composite picture of campus thinking and for the first time actually represent all collegians of the country, because all types of students are included in the carefully selected cross-section. KEY INSTITUTIONS At ' regular intervals ballots from the Surveys headquarters at the Uni versity of Texas reach eighty-five key institutions in every part of the na tion. Staff interviewers go into dor mitories, boarding houses, lounges, halls, and ask series of questions that have been pre-tested for their neutral wording. Within a week returns be gin to come back to Austin and electri cal machines are tabulating the re turns, which are then summarized and mailed back to the Daily Tar Heel and other member publications. Nearly 3,000 mathematically-distributed bal lots are used in each pool, which sta tistically provide an adequate sample of the entire student enrollment.

Maids of honor who preceded the bride to the altar were Miss Lib Gam mon of Charlotte and Miss Roberta Winton of Fort Worth, Texas, who wore blue and pink tulle, dresses re spectively. Bill Morgan, Playmaker from Roxboro, performed the cere mony and the train-bearers were little Misses Mary Ethel Ellington and Jane Basnight. Minister Morgan concluded the mar riage vows with "I hereby join stu dent and professor together and what the student body has elected let no man put asunder." When the king and queen had been crowned Woodhouse asked for their requests and presented to them Prime Minister J.

Bradshaw has been appointed director of a state-wide sur vey of North Carolina youth and will supervise the spending of a WPA ap propriation of $20,000 in making a complete canvas of conditions among the youth of the state, it was announced yesterday. The study will be divided into two parts, one among college students and the other among non-college students. The University will be used as a ground for studying college students while non-college students will be can vassed in different parts of the state. A staff of 50 will make all reports to Dean Bradshaw and tabulations of the results will be computed here. Only summaries of the survey will be pub lished, it was announced. ASSISTANCE Assisting in the survey will be the North Carolina College conference, the state council of Youth Serving Agen cies, the state employment service, the NYA, and the University testing ser vice. The general education board will aid in the publication of a general re port for the state. Dean Bradshaw said that the idea for the general youth survey was con ceived after a study of high school seniors was made last year under the auspices of the North Carolina Col lege conference and the NYA". Believ ing that a further investigation into the present conditions existing among older students would be of value, it was decided to conduct this canvas, he said. static.
