He reminded his press conference that American war ships successfully overcame Barbary pirates, who stop ped, or. sought to bar this country's merchantmen from the Mediterranean, jmd later overcame British, French and Spanish privateers, preying on United States ships in the West Indies. Although he refuses "to associate these incidents with present conditions in the Red Sea, the President left the distinct impression that his govern ment's determination to send into that area ships loaded with war supplies for Great Britain, will not be weak ened by Axis threats to the vessels. A total of 27 ships already have teen assigned to this mission. Some reportedly have been en route for sev eral days. Dispatches from Cyprus quoted a British RAF pilot as antici pating momentary delivery of Amer ican planes, "from an American con voy that has arrived in the Red Sea." VICHY The Petain government to night sharply refuted President Roosevelt's "astonishing" warning to France against submission to Ger many's demands, with the assertion that France was abandoned by England and the United States, "a year ago in her final hour of struggle." An official communique disputed the President's assertion that Franco German collaboration holds a "men See NEW. S BRIEFS, page i.

The trophy will be placed on display in Graham Me morial.

A s i 1 .1 a Witten's Mag Finally Out Humor Mag Makes " Belated Appearance Finally off the press and ready for distribution some 17 days late the April issue of Tar an' Feathers was termed by its editor, Gene Witten, "the best we put out all year." A "travel issue," the magazine has a blue cover picturing a clay figurine running from the point of a shotgun with travel posters in the background Travel is featured throughout the mag, all cartoons and pictures, except for a folio on "Faces," depicting some sort form of journey. Even fake ad vertisements scattered throughout ex- toll the virtues and benefits of the open road. Opening with an apology for the lateness of the issue, the magazine does not give an excuse for the de lay, merely wishing luck to new editor Bill Seeman, who has done a carica ture of every cartoonist the Tar an' Feathers ever heard of in a "Col- See HUMOR MAG, page !. New Book Pictures Playmakers, Green The Carolina Playmakers have been chosen as one of the special contribu tors to "The Eighteenth Tributary Theater Year Book," a unique survey which Theater Arts is bringing out as it3 July issue on June 15th. A scene from their production of "Field God" will be one of the illus trations in this comprehensive record which marks it as an outstanding offering of the past season. Also in cluded is a feature article on Paul Green by Editor-in-Chief, J. R. Isa acs. Rosamond Gilder, Associate Editor and Drama Critic of Theater Arts now celebrating its 25th anniversary, estimates the importance of the Trib utary Theater when she states that "one of the healthiest signs in the modern American scene is the increas ingly cordial and constructive rela tionship between the professional and non-professional theater. "This is as it should be, for, in many parts of the country, the college and community theaters have become the sole guardians of the spoken drama and their schools the training grounds and seed beds of young talent and, most important of all they have re created an eager audience for the pro fessional theater. From them the new playwrights, designers, technicians, and actors will emerge. In their keeping lies the future of the theater."

"The classics that's all I ever listen to." Tony Pastor smiled his big warm smile as he tore off a bite of chicken with his teeth, and explained himself. "Sure, I head a dance band. I like to play that kind of music. But when I really want to enjoy myself, I play some of my classical records. I've got $700 worth in my room at the Ho tel Lincoln in New York right now. I sret out Debussy's "Joyeuse Isle," or Richard.. Strauss's "Salomi'g Dance," and listen to the themes." "Or 111 listen to some Duke Elling ton," Tony conceded. "I like all kinds See PASTOR, page 4. Housing Work Halts Janitor's Barhecue " Because a number of janitors will be busy with the community center and janitor's housing project, the University Janitor's association will not hold its annual barbecue this year. A spokesman for the association ex pressed the hope that the community center would be completed in time to hold the barbecue there next year. Group May Act On Cut System Proposals Plan Would Aid Students Seeking Vocational Training Conflicting speculation and predic tions were offered yesterday as the faculty neared action on four much discussed issues which have brought both approval and rejection from stu- taenc ana administrative leaaers. ine motions, slated to reach the floor at Monday's faculty meeting, have slum bered in committees since their intro duction, but a definite answel: is now pending. The present cut system, object of at tack since its adoption, comes up for revision, and "off-the-record" re marks by faculty members and admin istrative heads indicate that a definite change in the plan now in operation is forthcoming. A committee, appointed to investigate, should make a report offering some means of solving the age-old "faculty headache." Innovation An innovation in commencement ex ercises, recognizing students who have completed requirements in General college, also is up for discussion. This motion may be the solution of "the growing need for taking into consid eration students who plan to enter na tional defense work after two years of college." Another plan, also patterned to aid two-year men, would authorize depart ments and the extension division to " -' See FACULTY, page t. ' Henderson Leads Band Tomorrow The University Band will give a concert at Davie Poplar tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock.

Eleven Artists Represented in Show "Super-Neilism" has reared its leer ing head over in Person hall art gallery, and will be featured in the Fifth an nual University of North Carolina art students' show which opens tomorrow at Person hall, along, with the more conventional work of 11 other Caro lina students. A few week3 ago Neil Thomas, pre law student, walked into the studio and asked John V. Allcott, head of the art department, if he could "enchant" the statue of Napoleon which has been a 'studio prop for years. Allcott was dazed but game, and agreed. Decorated Neil decorated the statue with bric-a-brac, old razor blades, and anything else he could find around the studio, and "Napoleon Enchanted arid Filled with mice" will be one of the stellar at tractions in the exhibit. When Thomas finished "enchant ing" Napoleon, he made weird draw ings with "the most magnificent col ors that have ever been seen in the studio," according to Allcott. Run ning out of paper for his ideas, Thomas used the backs of old draw ings left by other students, and then picked up lumber, old curtains and newspapers and painted them. Gifted "Neil Thomas is gifted with a sense of fantasy," said Allcott, "he seems to know instinctively what pigments will do, although he is not an art stu dent and not really a member of the art department."
