News: PHIL CARDEN Physical Ed Cuts Students who have cut com pulsory physical education classes more than three times were informed yesterday that they are now on attendance probation for the remainder of the quarter. It was pointed out by a department official that there has been a rule for the past four years that no student may legally cut a class in physical education. The department inaugurat ed its policy of no cuts, the of ficial said, because under the old arrangement of three ab sences without excuse the de partment was just inviting the students to take unneces sary cuts. But the Daily Tar Heel fails to see that the physical department should operate under a rule less liberal than those of other departments. The University requires three fourths attendance before it will give academic credit ; otherwise it leaves regulations up to the departments. They in turn usually allow cuts as many times per quarter as the class meets per week.- Why should the physical education department operate different ly? University officials will re member that they wondered last summer just how. coop erative and sympathetic the students would be with the new compulsory education re quirements'. It is evident now that most of the students have accepted the program in good spirit. We think it ap propriate that the physical education department now meet the students halfway by adopting a more liberal at tendance policy.. Less Flag-Waving The flag-waving we are in dulging in, while welcome as an outlet for our emotions, is beginning to wear on college youth. Emotionality must be backed by reason.

We have learned the scientific spirit, and if we use it? chiefly for negativistic purposes, still it is healthy to ask questions. Why are we waving flags ? The time 1 is pertinent for Americans to have faith in deT mocracy. Faith has never been needed so badly as today, when democracy is in danger of being displaced by fascism. If our chosen way of life is to be perpetuated, a belief in what we have chosen is first neces sary. . . But our generation has been shouting without a great deal of thinking. Now we are be ginning, as usual, to wake up and ask questions. We want to know why democracy is pre ferable to fascism, why we should be willing to support democracy. If the defenders of democ racy ourselves are to suc ceed, we must impose reason in the place of emotionality. Back of the shouting we must have reason for shouting. Only then will ,we be success ful Democrats. She Walks Alone-With Men By Martha Clampitt There are lots of traditions around Chapel HilL ' There is the Carolina Spirit, the legends about the Old Well, the Davie Popular and scores of others. But there is one which gets very little mention, though at times it at tracts more than its share oft at tention. This tra dition makes you feel a sort of kindred spirit to- wara me peopie in London right about now, for the tradition itself definitely utilizes many of the tactics of a dive bomb ing squadron. In fact, it has a lot on the dive bombers. At any rate, the said tradition, or more properly tra ditions, are the wasps at the Epis- copal Church. They've been there for years now and if you don't think they've become attached to the place, just try and get them out some time. They even have their own particular pews which they circulate around and guard with eagle eyes. But last week was a big week for them, or maybe they were just anticipating the Dook game this Saturday for they really put on a show. f ' i i- - I 1 ' 19TH CENTURY INVENTOR HORIZONTAL 1 Pictured inventor. 13 Period of time. 14 Basketwork Answer to WO UFlJ Hatt OP rCjRiYi iSiWA'cwTiA'N fillings. 15 Spike of corn. 16 To pour forth. 17 Makes . tractable.

All over again last night Paul Green sent the old South shattering and crashing to its doom like a gust of wind sweeping the great rooms of Connelly Hall and dead leaves rattling in November. Instinctively there was a feeling that the South's story had been gathered up and shap ed by wise, knowing hands, that Mr. Green wduld never take too many liberties with the South he knew. And although it was hard to know whether to .look to Mr. Green or to the Playmakers when an occasional artificial tinge crept in, the , old South's downfall was a moving thing in "The House of Connelly.". For tunately the playwright knew his story and the story, itself, was a stuff of substance. Since the Group theater's success ful New York presentation in 1931, The House of Connelly's story has become a favorite theme of the Mar garet Mitchell school . It is a tale of Young William Byrd Connelly at. the turn of the century torn between the traditional family pride of his aristocratic background and trie They have organized into fighting units and they fly together in the most amazing' formations. We've always liked that V number, but you've no idea how effective is that straight line- all flying directly at you. Then they have the smaller units. Three or four form a circle or two rows of two each and practice landing and taking off, using the hat of the lady two pews in front of us for a landing field. And they not only attack from above their floor approach is magnificent. At some strategic moment, say right in the middle of a hymn, they'll . send a scout out from ifnderneath the seat, and if he gives the all clear signal, the rest of the crew will take off, doing some of their best upward drills. Of course, you can always try and forget that they may be us ing your hat as a maneuvering posi tion. Then again, you could put a price on dead wasps a cent a head, say. That might help out the treasury of the Service League, and they'd be living tip to their name, too. P. S. If somebody could manage it, the wasps would be a. triple threat against Dook on the football field Saturday -r- especially in the back field.

By Bill Snider necessity for revitalizing his wan ing heritage. Like his sister-under-the-skin, Scarlett of Tara, Will chooses the new way of life. The old order crumbles when : he mar ries the daughter of his tenant farmer and a new mistress comes to Connelly 'Hall. ' Paul Green has made his crea tion simple and straightforward. He has filled his play with the spirit of the old South, and then like the sand sculptor has swished it all away through the great doors past the tottering columns and far down the leisurely lanes of what used to be. At least for one important role the Playmakers found an actor who caught Mr. Green's . spirit of the old South. Harry Davis stepped whole-heartedly into character as Kenzie, as Will and Patsy, had their moments, but somehow they failed to make the roles ring true or to sustain the mood they some times captured. Mr Wa.tson grew more at home on the stage as the play progressed, and he handled the difficult climactic scene quite well. On the other hand Miss Mc Kenzie was far more realistic and convincing in the play's early .scenes than later.. Lillian Prince as Mrs. Connelly Robert Connelly, the fast-degenerating aristocratic gentleman of the old school. It was a juicy role, and Mr. Davis seemed at home rolling the classics off his tongue as easily as he rolled the whiskey on." . Douglass Watson and Jean Mc was still the Saroyan oakie dis guised this time as Queen Vic toria, and Big Sis and Big Sue had irritating laughs that" were not -genuine. Perhaps these impres sions struck home because there are still too many real Mrs. Con nellys and Negro field women in the South. Those on the stage were not real, that's all. Among the others Sanford Reece, Betty Lou "Bolce, and Eileen Smith did well, but in general the actors and ac tresses failed to make "The House of Connelly" all that it should have been last night. Lynn Gaul t's settings were uni formly excellent arid the technical details as well as the direction of Samuel Selden created a profes sional atmosphere permeating the performance. But when it came to the characters themselves Mr. Sel den succeeded too of ten in making his puppets only go through the motions. So although Paul Green provid ed the goods sustainingly for the most part in "The House of Con nelly," the Playmakers production of the goods hit a good many low spots with the high. Combined, they let the old South fall with a series of jumpy bumps rather than with a smooth sustained boom. ,ii r. ATi mr- Bill Dees, delegata of the Order of the Grail, announced yesterday a list of awards the Grail will make in the spring quarter to outstanding varsity and freshman athletes and to the leading fraternity and dormitory intra mural players. The Grail gives the awards as a part of its function as a service organization. To the letterman who has the highest scholastic average in each of the following varsity sports the Grail will present plaques illustrated above: football, basketball, baseball, track, tennis, wrestling, boxing, swimming, cross-country and golf. Three loving cups are to be awarded to the freshman athlete who has the highest scholastic average and the most sports numerals, to the out standing fraternity intramural player, and to the leading dormitory intra mural player. L Dees stated that the Grail hopes to promote higher scholastic averages "among the University's athletes through the annual Grail awards. Pianist Surprises Audience; Symphony Gives First Concert The best piano playing to ionize the soporific Sunday afternoon at mosphere of Graham Memorial lounge since Hector was a pup went, on Sunday afternoon when Wilton Mason set forth a program calculated to test the abilities of a veteran artist. The essential quali ties of emotional sweepand intel lectual breadth caught a smallish audience unawares and sent it home with the glimpse of another world too seldom seen from this care-ridden planet. Piano-playing of a high order was apparent in the Bach Toccata and Fugue, the instrument being required to yield up an amazing assortment of colors and create an impressive dynamic structure. The great Beethoven sonata, Opus 110, a serene . product of a mature mind, was played . with sincerity and understanding, with a balance between philosophical and virtuosic expression which revealed insight and character in the performer. The Mazurkas of Chopin, those simple spirited dances which con tain the soul of a man, were ap proached with directness and sim plicity and a sincere sentiment im plicit in the music which rose to moments of ineffable beauty. The Ballade in F minor wove a ro mantic tale of grace and tender ness and soared to a transcendant climax of brilliance and power. Mr. Mason graciously added one of his own compositions, the Min uet from a "Sonatine for Piano."

The University symphony orches tra in its opening concert present ed an interesting and ambitious program Friday night in Hill Music hall under the direction of Dr. Benjamin Swalin, of the Uni versity Music department.. Beginning with the "Sicilian Vespers," the ensemble displayed at times a satisfying body of tone in the string section. Despite occa sional lapses by the string section and flute society in tonal manage ment, Dr. Swalin managed to con vey unified impression of the music. Very materially aided by the sonorous matrix of the extensive piano part of the "Emperor" con certo by Beethoven, the orchestra none the less retrogressed in atten tion to detail, possibly due to un familiarity with the score. With Paul Oncley, her husband, conduct ing, Alma Lissom Oncley found the concerto ample medium for display ' of pianistic powers. The freshness and vitality of this work were the musical high point of the evening. This orchestra rounded off the program with a few lighter num bers, including "The Irish Washer woman," which was repeated at the request of the delighted audience. Dr. Swalin is to be commended for his efforts to bring standard orchestral repertoire to the campus and unflagging interest on behalf of the-symphony orchestra in a community where the numerical possibilities would appear to pre clude any such activities. son's discussion of "Some Cultural Con tribution of North Carolina during the 17th and 18th Centuries."
