rejuvenate
For over a year the student
legislature has existed. It was
organized to offer a solution to
many problems constantly aris
ing in University life.
To date the student legislature
has convened twice. The first
meeting was the get-acquainted
type, with nothing being done.
The second meeting resulted in
the appointing of committees to
Jiandle various phases of the
legislature's work.
Perhaps the legislature can
be compared to wood which is
still green it's alive but isn't
good for anything except looks.
Perhaps there has been no
work for the legislature this
year. But it is to be expected
that the fault lies in lack of in
terest not lack of work. Cer
tainly such problems as class
fees, dance corsages, and Uni
versity appropriations by the
state could have been discussed,
and solutions could have been
suggested.
The student council, inter
dormitory, interfraternity, and
woman's councils serve only as
quasi-legislative bodies, their
main function being judicial. In
the student legislature we have
a body, duly created by a large
majority of the student body
vote. It is supposed to correlate
the work of the various coun- j
cils. It is the only body of pure
ly legislative calibre which exists
for student control.
In a school where student
opinion and rule are major fac-i
tors, it seems stupid to pass up
the chance to make the legisla
ture a vital part of the system.
Next year, if there is to be a
student legislature, we suggest
' and strongly urge that the new
student body officers formulate
a legislature which at least will
try to accomplish something. Or
abolish it as dead wood!

vagabonding
Before the year wheezes out
and all things academic are
dropped into mothballs, we want
to call attention to a new prac
tice: something which might be
retained and used wheri the new
school year begins.
Dr. L. O. Katsoff, who has
managed to treat his students as
intelligent adults and make them
like it, is finishing his course in
sophomore ethics. Throughout
the quarter he has presented
the various moral theories nec
essary to an understanding of
the subject. Now he is bringing
the theory to life by obtaining
outstanding faculty members to
address his class on ethical con
tent. The class has heard, for
example, politics and labor ap
proached as matters of ethical
consideration.

too often be deprived of academic
contact with professors in other
"schools." In such a class as

To Tell The Truth
By Adrian Spies
This is the story of a hoy I know.
If you can't place him don't worry;
he's the accumulation of a lot of
youth and part of many people you
know. Maybe he is you.
I don't know whether this column
is a biography or a eulogoy or a
prophecy. ' And I don't know because
this boy has just begun to live as a
man. He is still flexing his muscles
and training his wind. The boy him
self may know if this is a record of
defeat or a whisper of hope. If you
are the boy maybe you know.
The boy was born that is, began
to breath and eat and make those
little imitating motions of man in
about 1918. If you're the boy and my
date isn't correct please don't com
plainmy story still might be true.
Anyway, there was a child born and
there was much pain and much
laughter and much hope in 'some
home. While the boy slept someone
said a prayer and someone made
plans. It was all a long time ago
when America , was still gasping
from the stench of the last World
War. And you see, a child born was
a sign of peaceful newness.
The boy was old enough to go to
school. He learned about George
Washington and two and two. After
school the boy had wonderful after
noons and delicious Saturdays shoot
ing Germans with wooden guns. There
was usually sunlight then, and the
amazing bigness of the possession of
a nickel,, and the exuberance of a na
tion rising away from war. Then one
day his friends made the boy play
the German. And when a wooden
pistol was pointed at him, he had to!
be dead. The boy never liked playing
soldier as much after that.
But still there was the sun and in
creasing age and approach to people.
And about this time. they taught the
boy to revel in our American Dream.
Don't ask me what it is,-you learned
it too. You know, that warm hope of
growing up and making money and
being respected and getting your
pompous picture in the Sunday roto
gravure. The boy was quite a little
man and living for the fulfillment of
his dream.
Then the boy read a newspaper
streamer abot the stock market's
crash. He heard about this monster
"Depression." But his father and the
men-folks who knew everything pre
dicted that things would be better by
summer. So the boy forgot to worry
and waited with the child's quiet
patience for summer. And summer
never came.
Summer never came even as the
boy passed through the mock-adulthood
of high school and came to c 1
lege. Now the boy was old enough to
see that haunting shrivels of his com
1212s was a

fortable American dream. There was
the sun sometimes and hope some
times. But always the boy heard the
brooding dissonance of a nation, fight
ing with itself for a panacea. And
always the boy smelled the unmistak
able prophecy of drawn-out decay.
Sometimes the boy "listened and
smelled and was worried and fright
ened. Sometimes he smelled the
spring-bloom , instead, and only
listened to the unmistakable victory
of lunging swing. If you're the boy
perhaps you can tell me what hap
pened to your private little Ameri
can dream. The boy I know lost his
and found a fear to falsely take its
place.
Now in the hot hints of summer
the boy is getting ready to let them
graduate him. ' Long ago his ideala
of the grandeur of learning were
dispelled by the curt officialness of
blue quiz books and didactic outlines.
They are going to give the boy the
dignity of cap and gown and the de
mocracy of a hand-shake. And after
that the boy is all by himself and
maybe at last a man.
The boy I know is spending quiet
hours thinking about his American
Dream. The old promise of security
and the first grade's lessons of honest
fairness that come i doses of George
Washington. The dignity of his ex
pensive white collar wilts with the
heat of hungry competition. The in
different tolerance of timeliness col
lege towns is a laugh in the "outside
world" of already fighting camps.
For the summer still has not come.
V
Out there in the anticipation of
summer sweetness some men and
they have read books too are fight
ing to cure the sickness of a people.
They are trying to spread a new
American Dream one of cooperation
instead of competition, one of plan
ning instead of individualist "freedom
to buy chains." They are the men
like our president. They are the pro-

Dear Sir,
When I started to read the interest,
ing article on the Forest Theatre ia
today's (Wednesday, May 17) Tak
Heel, I thought that, as often happens
the headrlines had distorted the facts'
but I found that the error was repeat
ed more than once in the article iteelf.
Some memoirs of mine, written about
a year ago, give the story of the origin
of the outdoor theatre, afterward
named the Forest Theatre. To correct
the record, please let me quote:
"In the spring of 1916, the tercen
tenary of "the death of Shakespeare was
celebrated by the community with a
pageant, which was presented a little
east of the Alumni -Building with, the
Arboretum as the "back drop." .A com
mittee of which Holly Hanford, if not
the chairman, was a prominent iem
ber prepared the program. Scenes
from several of the plays with casts
of students and members of the faculty
together with folk-dances "on the
green" by students of the Chapel Hill
school were given. I remember espec
ially Miss Nell Battle, later Mrs. John
Booker, as Audrey with Professor Ed
ward Jones of Erskine College as
Touchstone, John Booker in shining ar
mor as Henry V, Bob House as Bot
tom, Curtis Henderson as Ariel, and
Jake Smith as Puck.
this pageant made us reahza the
need f br an out-door theatre. So Green
Jaw, Hanford, Coker, Booker, and per
haps others took long walks oyer the
possible territory, looking for a na
tural auditorium. They considered
among attractive sites the dale in which
is now the Kenan Stadium; but final
ly decided on the present site. A low
platform was built, and movable frames
in which shrubbery could be fixed to
serve as wings and screens were con
structed. On that platform as a fea
ture of the opening of the theatre in
the spring of 1917 was produced Paul
Green's first play."
Another feature of the opening was
to have been a production of Twelfth
Night, but that was rained out and had
to be given in Gerrard Hall.
The name "Forest Theatre," given
by Professor Koch with his fine taste
in words, is twenty years old; but the
theatre itself is twenty-two years qld.
The Tanning of the Shrew in 1919 did
not, therefore, open the theatre; but
Paul Green's first play in 1917 did.
George McKie.
Dear Sh :
Wednesday afternoon we lost a base
ball game to Duke University by the
score of 6 to 5 ; however we lost some
thing far more important than a ball
game, our honor. '
For years I've heard about the poor
sportsmanship of Carolina, but I be
lieve what happened Wednesday is the
worst that I have ever seen on this
campus. At the close of Wednesday's
game it was almost impossible for
sportswriter Woody Woodhouse to give
his summary of the game because of
the booing of the Carolina students.
They crowded around him and made
such terrible noises that you would
wonder if the students had ever seen
a college.
It's too late now to do anything
about yesterday, but we can certainly,
penuig again. Let's just remember
that we are Carolina gentlemen and
as students, keep anything from hap
that we can be just as good a sport
when we lose as when we win.
Come on Carolina students, let's be
