Sunday Night
It is Sunday night, May 17, 1942.
Complete silence covers the crowd that
only a moment before was chatting
noisily but pleasantly. The lights of
Memorial hall gradually dim, the at
mosphere is tense with the strain of
the audience.
Far corners of the hall echo the
weird strains of Lohengrin, while two
strangely garbed figures slowly make
their way through the audience.
Silently these hooded figures thread
the crowded rows, with two soft-colored
spotlights following their every
move. One stalker suddenly pounces
upon a victim, the blinding flood
lights are turned on full force, the
cymbal sounds off. The heart-beat of
the entire group can be felt by the
concerted and spontaneous exhaling
of breath that had been unconscious
ly held during the excitement.
Through this mystic ceremony, the
Order of the Golden Fleece announces
to the campus that it has honored an
other member of the student body.
The Golden Fleece was established
in 1903, largely through the efforts of
Dr. Horace Williams, Carolina's well
known and beloved philosopher. At
that time there were numerous dis
united groups on the campus sith a
very definite cleavage between them.
The need was felt for- some organiza
tion where representatives of these
various groups could meet on a com
mon ground and discuss ways and

harmonicas. He was . later joined by

making up a band.

Mississippi Inspired
Norvo 's Woodpile Jump
By Billy Webb
Born hard by the Mississippi where
the river excursion boats featured
some of the greatest musicians of the
day, Red Norvo, dynamo of the xylo
phone, received his inspiration to play
upon the "woodpile" because his home
was washed away by flood waters.
Norvo, who brings his baton to Car
olina Saturday playing for a concert
and dance, was forced to flee his home
town in Illinois and move to Rolla,
Mo., when the Mississippi overran its
.banks. In a Rolla movie house he was
fascinated by the antics of a pit musi
cian pounding away with his sticks
as he accompanied a silent thriller.
Later seeing a xylophone in a music
shop, he traded his pony to the dealer
for the instrument. .

Uo-Kesolvea to Win
Senator Asks
People to Work,
Pray, Fight
By Paul Komisaruk
Senator Josiah W. Bailey is
sued an urgent plea for faith,
work and prayer on the part of
the American people, and de
clared that America propose not
only to ' win, but to win "with
and by means of liberty, and thus
win a victory that will be a pres
ent triumph, a lasting memorial
and an example for all nations and
generations."
The Senator, speaking over a coast-to-coast
radio hook-up in his only ad
dress prior to the May 30 primaries,
asserted that the American people must
decide that they are not going to lose
the war nd must decide this immedi
ately. He emphasized that all persons
must put aside at once every other
interest and concern and unite in one
essential task, "the winning of this war
at the earliest possible moment."
He termed the war one of survival
and liberation; and classed it as "a
war to the finish. . . . There can be
no peace with nations that flaunt their
contempt for treaty obligations and
that move in attack under pretedse of
friendly negotiations by their envoys,"
he said.
Bailey, who spoke on Carolina Politi
cal union's platform, became the first
North Carolina Congressman to ad
dress the people of the state since Pearl
Harbor. Outlining post-war plans up
on completion of an Allied victory, the
senator declared, "We propose libera
tion according to the terms of the At
lantic Charter. We do propose dis
armament of these aggressor nations
and a concert of nations after the order
of that for which Woodrow Wilson died
fighting, and sole in order to preserve
the peace of the world and to provide
a moral order in which all men and
nations may pursue the ideals of peace
intended for them by their Creator:
that everywhere men may enjoy se
curity in the pursuit of the great free
doms of civilization."
Turning to the present military map,
Bailey admitted that China is weaker
since her line of supply has been cut,
but he added that the Chinese army is
courageous, skilled and will carry on
with renewed resolution.
Of Russia he said, "She has given
all the nations an example of courage
and fighting power that enrolls her
people forever in the annals of war.
One need not be a Communist to ad
mire and extoll the devotion of the peo
ple of the Soviet Union to their na
tive land, or to pray that they may
destroy the Nazi power forever. They
were the first successfully to resist the
armed might of Hitler and his legions,

'Peer GynV Set Boasts
Shifting Hills, Waterfall
By Nancy Smith
An entirely new translation of "Peer
Gynt," Hendrik Ibsen's immortal story
of adventure and romance, will be pre-
sented in the Forest-theater Thursday,
Friday and Saturday evenings, May
22, 23 andV24 at 8:30 under the dlrec-
tion of Professor Frederick H. Koch.
Koch, who has directed or acted in
every Forest theater production since brats fantastic creatures from Nor
the establishment of the theater, select- wegian folklore who lure him into their
ed "Peer Gynt" for this year's produc-
tion because, he said, "it has an endur-
ing place in the world theater. It is an
epic drama, not only of the Norwegian
people, but of all mankind. Perhaps
it is Ibsen's greatest work, ranking
with Faust and Don Quixote in its time-
lessness..
We are presenting Peer Gynt not as
a play of social problems, but as a color
ful tale of the romance and adventure
of youth drawn from the magic and
wisdom of the old Norwegian folk and
fairy tales."

Go on, Sale
By Saturday
By Sam Whitehall
"Let's Talk Carolina" buttons will
definitely be on sale by Saturday,
Orville Campbell, sparkpluk behind
the drive, announced yesterday. The
buttons will be sold for cost to all stu
dents. The drive, which is backed by The
Daily Tar Heel, the Woman's Govern
ment association, the Student council,
and the University club, was organiz
ed last weekend to spread the facts
about Carolina to prospective students.
It was pointed out that student en
rollment at the University has increas
ed four-fold over the past ten years,
and that the majority of the modern
equipment and large faculty has also
come during that period. The drive
was organized as a sustained effort
to keep enrollment figures as high as
possible during the war.
"The true facts about Carolina
should spread to all," said Denman
Hammond, University club president,
yesterday. "The advantages and lib
eral outlook held by Carolina men are
well known to all of us. We should take
Carolina to the state," he said.
Both Truman Hobbs and Bert Ben
nett, former and present student body
presidents, have officially backed the
campaign.
The buttons that will be issued will
be similar in design and size to the
'Beat Duke" pins issued last fall.
They have been ordered from a nation
al njanfacturing concern and will ar
rive in Chapel Hill in time for distri
bution on Saturday.
The campaign will last throughout
the remainder of the school year, it
was announced Monday. Dr. Frank
Graham and Dean F. F. Bradshaw,
as well as other administration offi
cials, have expressed approval and
support of the drive. v

by Designer Herbert Andrews and
Professor Harry Davis, technical di
rector. Almost magically they will
open in the second act to reveal the in-
terior of the mountain the great Hall
of the Mountain King, citadel of the
troll-race. Here the. young Peer Gynt
will meet and dance with the ' troll-
mountain stronghold.
At another point in the action, the
mountains part on a scene of dancing
and revelry at a country wedding. Here
the dashing Peer steals the bride and
carries her off into the mountains to
the dismay of the wedding guests and
dancers.
Flanking each side of the 50-foot
stage will be side stages, with Norwe
gian peasant houses and mills complete
with waterfall. More than 30 actors
and dancers will be garbed in colorful
peasant costumes designed and made
by the Playmakers for this production.

Overworked
Pump Station
Can't Manage
Heavy Drain
By Bob Levin
Carolina's 15 year old pump
ing station and its out-moded
and overworked water pipe are
in for serious trouble this sum
mer.' The possibility of an acute
water problem for Chapel Hill
and Carrboro due to an 'increas
ing consumption rate concurrent
with drier seasons and now aug
mented by the sudden increase
in summer enrollment was point
ed out yesterday by L. B. Roger
son, business manager, and John
S. Bennett, supervisor of opera
tions. Built for a Carolina of 15 years
ago, the pumping system has been
taxed more and more each year to
supply the ever increasing thousands
of gallons used in the summer months.
Peak capacity for the three Univer
sity lake pumps and the one pipe line
was 1,000,000 gallons daily, reached
last May.
Ordinarily this ocean "of lake wrater
is adequate to keep both districts
properly supplied if strict rationing
measures are followed. This was the
case last year when the athletic fields
went waterless, Bowman Gray pool
was used very sparingly and towns
people were urged to discontinue un
necessary water wasting practices.
Even with this "go easy" plan it
was disclosed that at times the 250,
000 gallon tank had barely a half
hour's reserve in it. A half hour's re
serve is not much for a busy town of
8,000 when it is always endangered
