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 See 'FLEECE, page U UNC Entertains 250 NYA Boys University students entertained more than 250 boys in training for defense jobs at the Durham NYA cen ter Monday night in a program hail ed as "superior to any Broadway show."

He was . later joined by Norwood Robinson on the guitar and Harry Whidbee on the violin, and two boys selected from the audience in making up a band. Coming Saturday: 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. .

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, SeeBAILEY, page U Playmaker Paradise '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." Against the towering trees of Battle Park will rise man-made mountains 7? m TTTT T"0 'TaW labs 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 New Men Take Over Student Legislature In Session Tonight The annual joint meeting of in coming and outgoing legislators will be held tonight in Phi hall at 7:45 when Ferebee Taylor, outgoing speaker, will turn over the gavel to W.

All the dormi tory representatives were elected yesterday. created in the Playmaker scene shop 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.

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 See SHORTAGE, page 4 s Eight Alumni Listed in Army Flight Training Listed among the several thousands of aviation cadets now taking pre-f light training at the huge Air Corps Re placement Training center (Air Crew) at Maxwell field, Alabama, are the fol lowing former students of the Univer sity: Cadet Norment Glenn Boyette of 215 Woodall street, Smithfield, '34-38.
