CAUSTIC FARCE "Kiss the Boys Goodbye" is Clare ' Bwthe's caustic farce which starts ot ridiculinir Hollywood's frenzied seach for a Scarlett OHara and ends up taking a swipe at practically every thing in sight. It flaunts the same sort of sophisticated wit which made "The Women" an outstanding success fcoth on Broadway and the screen. For the production Fred Walsh, technical assistant on the Playmak staff, has designed a series of Smrt, modernistic sets which . will me than do justice to the smart Soothe wisecracking. . Three sets are to be used: one an interior in a vivid ckr scheme of silver grey and Chi nes red, another a bathhouse with an N-over marine design and a third a CtniPartment of a .stream-lined pull man coach. !

In Chapel Hill The National Symphony orchestra, with Dr. Hans Kindler conducting, will present a concert this evening" at 8:30 in Memorial hall, in the second program on the winter quarter stu dent entertainment series. Dr. Kindler has brought his Wash ington Symphony to the campus on numerous occasions for past Student Entertainment programs. The organ ization has presented concerts in 12 states of the Union and in Canada during the past nine years. The Bos ton Transcript commented, after a re cent performance, "A group that quite surprised Bostonians by its vir tuosity. In sonority, technical facility, flexibility, and the various essential virtues it approaches the standards of the best symphony orchestras in the world." PRESS COMMENTS When the National Symphony played at Dartmouth the college publication carried the following: "The vivacity of the players and the vitality of the conductor increasingly inspirited the audience during the concert, and at the end the most virile man in Dart mouth must have felt that here indeed was his orchestra." The music critic of the Richmond. Times-Dispatch re cently wrote, "Each concert that we hear presented by the National Sym phony seems a most perfect thing." Dr. Kindler will bring his orchestra here directly from Washington. The Symphony will open a tour of the South here tonight, and will continue on through Winter Park, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, and Palm Beach, Florida; Rock Hill, South Carolina; and Lynch burg, Virginia. In addition, the or chestra will make appearances at Hampton institute, Western Mary land college, Sweet Briar-college, and the University of South Carolina in Columbia.

F. Creedy's Book On Social Problems Released By Press "Human Nature Writ Large," by F. Creedy, Chapel Hill author, has just been released by the University Press. Creedys book "deals with many of the social problems which are so keenly discussed on - the campus." Taken from the press' catalogue, the author's principal object is to show that in western society today we have fabulous systems of belief, which are not only untrue, but ex tremely harmful. " ' Creedy proceeds to analyze various current institutions, to strip them of their shames, and to reveal their real nature. . OTHER POINTS Amongst other points which the book brings forward is that, whilst the true aim of religion is to give us peace of mind and a principle on which to shape our lives here and now, super naturalism Is a wholly unnecessary (Continued on page 2, column 6) rule. While the American university is a comprehensible series of departmen tal units known as colleges, the two English universities as corporate bodies are as "elusive as smoke," Dr. Terhune stated. ' A central office to dispense informa tion is non-existent in English uni versities. The only source of informa tion is the university "calendar, whose contents have so accumulated through the years as to present a confused mass of data which Dr. Terhune calls "as helpful as an unabridged diction ary." s The English course of study is only three years. The college year is divid ed into"three semesters, each consist ing of approximately 10 weeks, known as Michaelmas, Lent, and May semes ters. - Students take only one subject, al though brilliant students may take two. A student hands in a weekly paper to his tutor, who discusses it with him. Examinations are confined to one at the end of each year, the first two being merely "warm-ups," with the third year's known as the Itripos," being the most difficult and important of all.
