"When doctrines and customs re main unchanged for a hundred years, you can be sure that they are ossi fied, Odets said. "All sorts of new ideas should be presented; they show intelligent progress. If they are sup pressed, then people will become more benighted and ignorant than they already are." "Bertrand Russell is a modern clas sic Although I don't agree with his ideas, if they can be proved by stand ard logic, why not let him tell them? If he is thrown out, then it logically follows that the work of all the great artists who happened to be morally deficient, and most of them were, should be destroyed," Odets concluded. , Odets has written several proleta rian plays featuring the torturous hells of the worker's life; notably "Waiting For Lefty," "Golden Boy," and "The Silent Partner." He went to Cuba in 1935 with a group of in tellectuals to investigate Cuban ty ranny and the U.

Tonight's presentation was conceiv ed last fall when Hughes was here to deliver a lecture when George R.

Coff- man asked him if it would be possible for some of them to be presented here and plans were started immediately. The longest of these plays takes only about five minutes to perform, and al though they are chanted in Latin, they may be clearly understood by the au dience because a running explanation by Hughes will accompany the action. LONDON PERFOR3IANCE The first performance of these plays in modern times took place last year in London, soon after Hughes had com pleted . their transcription.

For This Issue: News: CARROLL McGAUGHEY Sports: ORVILLE CAMPBELL SPEAKER Mr. Bridges Knows Ropes Senator H. Styles Bridges, who is busy at the present time sandwiching in politicking for the Republican presidential nomi nation and meetings of the Unit ed States Senate, followed one of his announced opponents, Robert A. Taft on the CPUl . platform Tuesday night and showed with great vim and wit just why the country, under the New Deal, is going straight to the devil. His speech the administrators kicked out." Mr. Bridges spoke of the Se curities and Exchange commis sion, saying he did not think the SEC should be abolished but that full swing, Graduate Student the whole personnel should be released. The commission, he said, had taken advantage of the liberal powers Congress had be stowed on it. Frequently appearing in the address was "New Deal has given US the most irresponsible gOV- eye witness, and she tells a convinc ernment in our nation's his- ing story which, nevertheless, leaves tory " ne reaer wh the annoying suspi- . , cion that he has not read a completely Summing up, Mr. Bridges unbiased account. seemed to say that what Mr. Simons Roof and Richard Nick- entitled DvAATf a14- wl n4 Vt i Tna Icnn tlflYrfl WMY"kiT o irnc C"Vivl rt x I AUUacvcib liau uuxic, vvnat lie nao i (.umjuu a uiuuo, -"'i Parties, Platforms, and the tried to do has been mirfitv fine I ly written batch of comments from People," but Senator Bridges j but that the operators have been undergraduate writers to make up the concrete cases, writer Albright pro ceeds to show how the helpless Caro lina student is ruthlessly deprived of great sums of money unnecessarily to satisfy the. whims of professors who change the textbooks required for their courses far too frequently. After his analysis, the writer offers his remedy for the situation neatly, rounding off a pertinent discussion. Only the pseudonym is out of place. Setting the reform movement into Ruth Crowell's "Mr. Youth Goes to Wash ington" expresses the shattering dis illusion of the American Youth Con gress in Franklin Roo&evelt. More than that it presents a plausible de fense of the AYC's conduct in Wash ington at its recent convention which received much publicity from the na tion's press. . Miss Crowell was an "Night Music," his latest Broad way play, in which he decided that life is swell after all, closed recently, and he is in Chapel Hill now resting and recuperating. He likes the quiet, gentle atmosphere of the village, and him. "The director of the Group Theatre suggested Chapel Hill when I said that I wanted to get away for awhile and relax," Odets said. "I headed South, and stopped and talked to Stowkowsky In Philadelphia. He said that Carolina was lovely in the spring; that I should come here. I started off again, then saw Archi bald McLeish in Washington. He told me to come to Carolina; that it was lovely, in the spring. I told him I though I would. When I got up Sun day and took my first look at Chapel Hill in daylight, I saw snow on the ground!" was quickly left the trite business of party history to slam at Presi dent Roosevelt and the New Deal party hacks and political hangers-on with true Republican venom. But Mr. Bridges, who brands himself as a liberal and who has supported many of the Roosevelt bills, managed to acquit himself very well before the sparse audi ence of 450, the 450 about equal ly divided between students and North Carolina Republican visit ors. Though his vociferous at tacks on the present administra-. tion failed to elicit applause at all the "applause" points, Sena tor Bridges held his listeners' attention throughout and brought frequent laughs with many witticisms at the Demo cratic party and the New Deal "heretics." The senator had much to back up his charges of corruption, citing particularly the govern mental agency (for which he misguidedly voted) which spent more money investigating a busi ness than the business spent itself. He also rapped the good southern Democrats in the Sen ate who opposed the Hatch bill, charged the administration with rank maladministration, and condemned the . TVA. . But the open forum, as usual, proved to be much more inter esting and enlightening than the address, for here Senator Bridges seemed to retreat from his ex treme position of Republican conservatism : "I am condemning the administration of these (New Deal) acts rather than some of the acts themselves.

If you are, you will find the going rough anyway. The authors come to the conclusion that the present collegiate curriculum is deficient for writers and that an established writer should become a member of the faculty. We faintly recall that Phillies Russell has been around Chapel Hill in that capacity for quite a while now. Topping off the reform movement, Senior David Malone informs us that "The Banner Is Shot To Hell," that the editors of the Daily Tar Heel have not performed their prescribed And in the words of Senator! functions of examining, interpreting f ul in the funds. He simply says he'd rather have Republicans on the SEC than Democrats. But the senator conducted himself with finesse and he had the "books" to back up many of his contentions. If we were Re publican, he would have our vote for President. But we are Democratic . . .

The second case contains a leaf of the original work and a facsimile of a complete copy.

This year is the 500th anniversary of the invention of printing. and directing student thought, and ac tion. The criticism is quite condemn ing and the validity of the writer's accusations should he challenged pres ently in the columns next door. Writ er Malone has shaped his Tar Heel crusade well. He has not jumped - s overboard to indulge in wasteful wit ty jabs of flippancy which he de plores. He has written a fine defini tion of an editor's aim. Our com plaint lies with his failure to exploit the subject matter more completely. The Magazine's fictional content for March is undistinctive for the most part. Ed Megson and Shelley Kolfe, avid sportsmen, write realistically and simply of strong individuals, the former of a striker, the latter of an East-Side baseball hero. Both writ ers gain their power through a rapid fire, straight-from-the-shoulder style. Both compositions are really hardly stories at all, rather vivid sketches with skimpy plot structures. Simons Roof's "The Devil's Church Money" makes a. feeble attempt at Negro dia lect, an even feebler attempt at pre senting a satisfactory short story. Mr. Roof's substance is not worth the effort. Wilton Brinkley has an in teresting "idea in "So Some Of Him Died," but he fails in his expression to give it the treatment it deserves. Irvin Katz's contribution, "Stale Bread And Coffee," is labeled a story in the table of contents. Far from being a story it is rather a revealing narration of a young man's experi ence with those who have not. The usual book reviews, poems and an original eye-catching cover round out a pleasing issue filled with aver age fictional content and above the average non-fiction. nett, ; John W.
