give the service for which
they are paid.
To say that the faculty
member who writes a book
every three years, or who
writes articles for learned re
views, or who gives excellent
lectures before distant insti
tutes to say that he is failing
as a teacher of students would
not be fair. If he can do all
these things and still place
teaching ahead of everything
all well and good.
But if he is proving his
worth as a research man and
failing to instill any of his
knowledge to his students, he
has no right to hold member
ship in a teaching faculty.
The Daily Tar Heel's poll
of two years ago awakened
for the moment, at least a
large number of faculty mem
bers. We are giving them the
opportunity now through a
poll of their students to show
that they remained awake and
conscious of their duty to the
students whose tuition money
pays their salaries.
No Difference
Another step toward bet
tering the relationship between
fraternity and non-fraternity
boys will take place tonight
when most of the fraternities
on the campus will hold open
house for dormitory men and
their date's.
The move, which is being'
sponsored by the Order of the
Grail, campus honor and serv
ice organization, should do
much to improve the feeling
between fraternity and non
fraternity men on the cam
pus. Now, there is little differ
ence between fraternity and
non-fraternity students here.
Certainly it is not as bad as
other campuses we can think
of. Both the fraternity and
non-fraternity men have an
equal chance to hold public
office. Neither is he judged
from the fraternity or non
fraternity angle. Rather a
person at Carolina is known
for what he stands for as an
individual.

Deans Disfavor Student
Advice On Readmissions
By Marion Lippincott
Standing unanimously against
student representation on the Re
admissions committee are Deans
Hobbs, Brads haw and Sprnill, who
were all interviewed thi3 week. The
feeling, common to them all, is that
the student could be of no real value
to such a committee.
Dean Brads haw expressed his
views on the subject by saying that
having students on the Readmis
sions committee would be like hav
ing a "carburetor on an ox-cart."
It would be out of keeping with the
rest of the set-up of this institution.
In North Carolina the citizens elect
the legislature, the legislature ap
points the trustees, the trustees ap
point the president ,the president
selects his faculty and the faculty
conduct the educational program.
Since the structure of the Univers
ity is such, the suggestion to put
students on the Readmissions com
mittee is out of keeping. To change
the organizational set-up in one de
tail and leave it as it is in all the
rest would only create confusion.
The Readmissions committee would
become something akin to a sore
thumb.
University Has Standards to
Maintain
The University also is subject to
national and accrediting agencies..
It must maintain a standard high
enough to satisfy these agencies.
It could not be maintained by allow
ing unprepared and inexperienced
students to serve on a committee of.
Readmissions.

"PATIENCE"
Gilbert and Sullivan have a uni
versal appeal. Since 1871 their light
operas have been charming and de
lighting audiences the world over.
The two eccentrics had a classicism
all their own, and the Carolina
Playmakers captured a portion of it
with their presentation of "Pa
tience." "Patience" is rarely classed with
other Gilbert and Sullivan greats.
"Pinafore," "The Mikado," and
"Pirates of Penzance" are invariab
ly ranked above "Patience," and in
all fairness to the Playmakers, and
to D'Oyly Carte, the performanses
should escape the usual compari
son that every Gilbert and Sullivan
presentation is forced to undergo.
Suffice to say, the production should
be appreciated in its own right.
With a magnificent setting and
costumes to match, Director Harry
E. Davis added something tangible
to Carolina's theatrical history,
f Chief drawback of this produc
tion of "Patience" was the failure
to produce an outstanding voice. A
failure that slowed down the first
act, and prevented the second from
reaching the heights that it might
. have.
Genie Loaring-Clark, the naive
dairymaid Patience, was impressive,
and when her voice proved weak, her
v lovely personality and beauty
reached the audience before the
notes. -To
Joe Salek though, as Caver
ley, Colonel of the Dragoons, goes
credit for capturing and bringing
out the immortality of Gilbert and
Sullivan humor. No one knows
. whether or not the "conga" was
originally meant to bring the audi
ence out of its sleep, but the little
one-two-three kick of Salek's dur
ing the dance of the "aesthetic dra
goons" was the adrenalin that kept
the audience waiting for his next
appearance. Mr. Salek's terpsichor
ean antics almost cost him a shoe, but :
houses tonight is that both
fraternity and non-fraternity
men and their dates will be
present together. Boys will be
able to meet one another and
chew the rag. Girls, who come
with dormitory residents, will
have a chance to get an idea
of what fraternity life at Caro
lina is. It will bring to a per
fect clese the set of Inter
Dormitory dances.
The Daily Tar Heel com
mends the Order of the Grail
for striving for better rela
tionships between these two
groups. It is a definite step
toward breaking down the
barrier between the geo-;
graphical divisions on the
campus. O. C.
in sway at this University, the only
way students can be of any influ
ence is by means of advisory com
mittees. The recently suggested
student advisory committee dealing
with courses offered at the Univers
ity is an example.
According to Dean Bradshaw the
only way to get students on the Re
admissions committee would be for
the students to declare war on the
entire institution. '
Board Lenient Anyhow
Dean SpruilL when presented
with the suggestion of placing stu
dents on the Readmissions commit
tee, did not entirely reject it but
pointed out that the present system
gives every consideration to the stu
dents. If the student to be read
mitted seems earnest and industri
ous, an agreement can usually be
worked out between him and his
faculty adviser. In this system di
rect contact between the faculty and
the student is sought rather than
a judicial committee of faculty and
students. Nevertheless any student
opinion is always well received and
carefully considered. Many students
come to the Readmissions committee
on behalf of a friend and other se
lected students in the dormitories
often aid the committee in discover
ing the difficulties of individual stu
dents. Dean Hobbs stated that the com
mittee would always like to know
whether a student is here for busi
ness or is just a loafer but this in
formation can usually be best ob
tained from faculty members rather
than from other students.
By
Bill Snider
those same antics were well worth
the effort.
The lagging, spiritless first act
ended sharply with a rousing finale,
and marked a rising tempo that
maintained itself until the final
curtain.
Lillian Prince, with lines that
might not have gotten beyond the
Hays office, did a fleshy and excel
lent Billie Burke of the 19th cen
tury. Picture lovesick Billie Burke,
playing a bass fiddle as means for
an emotional outlet, and then gently
placing it on her back and carrying
it off the stage, and you have Mrs.
Prince's chef d'ouvre of the evening.
As the "aesthetic sham" Bun
thorne, Douglas Watson was faced
with the difficult problem of limit
ing the unlimited gestures of a poet
to the stage. Watson was success
ful, and though at times his ges
tures were overdone, his perform
ance was noteworthy and finished.
His excellent diction, essential to
Gilbert and Sullivan interpreta
tions, added to his rounded per
formance. Limping off with the second male
lead, Russell Rogers, Archibald the
All Right, fell short. He lacked
carrying ability in his singing voice
and personality in his characteriza
tion. His dialogue was efficient,
though his singing unfortunately
failed to reach the necessary heights.
Both choruses, taking full ad
vantage of Gilbert and Sullivan ar
rangements, and Clyde Keutzer's
direction, displayed a tonal power
and quality that surpassed any one
point in the entire production.
The ladies Angela (Jean McKen
zie), Ella (Molly Holmes), and Sa
phir (Robin . Bolce), were just
charming enough, seductive enough
and beautiful enough, ably to lead
their "twenty lovesick maidens"
after the ethereal aesthetics. In
their support of the leads they per
formed with grace, ease, and com
petence. The performance might have been
Gilbert and Sullivan at its best, and
though it caught the spirit, some
where along the line it fell short.
It was one of those things that might .
have been brilliant and wasn't
one of those things that had the
raw makings of four-star greatness
and just missed. Paul Komisaruk.

From Veteran
To the Editor,
Dear Sir:
In view of the existing emergency
which threatens the safety of our
country and particularly in view of
the misleading doctrines which have
been "Handed out by a number of
false prophets to the young men of
through your columns Tny hearty
congratulations to the students of
the University of North Carolina on
their courageous and patriotic spirit
as evidenced by their votes. in the
poll last Wednesday as conducted by
the CPU.
I note that on the question:
"As a last resort should the Unit
ed States go to war to save Great
Britain?", there were "Yes"
1003 votes, and "No" 527 votes.
Undecided, only 31.
And on the question, "Will the
present policy of all-out aid to Brit
ain lead this nation to war?", there
were "Yes," 882 and "No"
583; undecided, 141.
This shows that although the
voting students believe that the
present policies of our government
are leading to war, they are facing
such contingency fearlessly and by
nearly a two-to-one majority are
in favor of such war if it is neces
sary to save Britain.
Although I am not surprised at
this vote, yet it makes an "Old
Veteran" like myself, feel better to
see this striking evidence of cour
age and patriotism among the stu
dents of the "University, because
"Saving Britain" also means today
"Saving America."
I have heard it stated that the
older men of America are "Push
ing the young-inen into war." Noth

ousines, accommodation, and service."
The delegates appeared tremendous
ly impressed, judging by those inter
viewed, with the straighforwardness
and sincerity of the expressions of
Inter-American friendship, unity, and
solidarity by Governor Broughton,
President Graham, and other "good
neighbor" spokesmen for both Ameri
cas. - :
Amazed by Legislative Speed
The things that amazed them most,
however, were the high speed of the
American legislative process, as run
by Lieutenant-Governor Harris and
Speaker Mull, and the intricacies of
Yankee football, as demonstrated by
Coach Ray Wolfe from Carolina's "A"
through Stanford's "T" to Ntre
Dame's "Z" formations.
"Our legislature moves much slower
and is easier to follow," pointed out
another spokesman. "We play the
soccer, but we see American football
in the movies, and like it very much.
However, we cannot make out what
either is all about," he declared but
was somewhat consoled when told that
many native strangers to legislative
and football maneuvers were in the
same position.
All in all, however, it was a big day
from the welcoming salute and parade
of flags through . the legislative ses
sions to the final entertainment event.
And North and South Americans join
ed in agreeing that they stand ''to
gether for freedom, democracy, and -brotherhood,"
and that Thursday's
events had sown the seeds for future
Inter-American relations that may be
far-reaching.
Hear Special Lectures
In addition to their regular Uni
versity classes yesterday, the South
American representative heard special
lectures by Miss Alice Robinson of
Duke and "Romanticism in American
Painting" and by Profs. E. J. Wood
house on "City Government" and
E. E. Ericson on "History of the Eng
lish Language."
Dr. I. A. Richards, of the Ortho
logical Institute in Cimbridge, who has
been giving the special course in 850
word "Basic English," has returned
to Cambridge, and his work has been
taken over by Hugh Walpole, cousin
of the famous author of the same
name.
The visitors were also guests of
the Carolina Playmakers and the
music department at last night's per
formance of Gilbert and Sullivan's
"Patience," which was the day's en
tertainment feature.
The program for today will be head
ed by a lecture and demonstration on
public health work in the United
States, a series of talks and exhibits
on state and local government by the
Institute of Government staff, and
an afternoon tea at the home of Pres
ident and Mrs. Graham.

take the poll seriously and to record
