VOLUME LVI One-Act Old English Play Will Highlight Early Easter Service By Virginia Forward With the early morning sky for a background, the Forest the ater Easter sunrise service Sun day mornirig will include a one act Old English play of the 15th century, music, prayers, and scripture readings. Although in former years the service has been primarily a function of the campus YMCA and YWCA groups, this year the participation and planning are being shared with the entire community. Representatives of both student and adult groups from each of the churches in Chapel Hill form the central planning committee. Mrs. Rob ert Nelson heads this group. Rutgers Press Publication Following the formal worship program and highlighting the service will be the presentation of an Old English resurrection play translated and arranged by Kai Jurgensen and Bob Schenk. The play is one out of a book of plays to be published by Rutgers University press in the fall.

World Premiere Judgensen, of the dramatic arts department, who worked as tran slator with the Wakefield guild, said, "The main purpose of the book is to provide the churches with good dramatic material. The average church play is not up to par and so these ancient plays, which are good, were assembled for use by the churches." ; Mr. Judgensen added that the ser vice Sunday morning will see the first presentation of any of the 14 plays. With basic work on the pro duction of the play completed, the cast went into rehearsals last Monday while most students were home for spring vacations. Prac tices will continue each after noon in the Forest theater accord ing to David Samples, graduate student in drama, who is direct ing the production. R. J. Cameron is assistant director. Wesley Players Support The play, which will last around 25 minutes, has in its main" parts, Jim Geiger, playing the role of Pilate, A. E.

Coving ton III as Annus, and the Rev. Robert Nelson as Captain of the) Guard. Other supporting roles will be played by members tf the Wesley players.

It Was pointed out that stu dents in Chapel Hill on a tem porary basis are not encouraged to register but those who have reached the age of 21 and have had residence in the state for one year and Chapel Hill for four months may register if they wish. Permanent Chapel Hill residents who have registered previously for any municipal election will not' be required to. register again. An ordinance authorizing the election was passed some time ago by the local Board of Al dermen when it was apparent that sewage conditions were be coming critical. The proposed bond issue includes provisions for the paving and asphalting of nine local streets. Sewage conditions have been described by various officials and others as being deplorable. In a statement released recently by a special committee appointed to study the proposed bond issue it was said -that "the present sewage disposal plant, which was planned 25 years ago to take care of a population of 7500, is now overloaded to the extent of double its capacity. The new plant proposed the old and new plants together would provide immediately for a population of 22,500 and for a maximum pop ulation of 37,500." The report quoted health offici als as declaring, "The present plant is totally inadequate. Raw sewage is polluting our streams and serving as a source of a po tential outbreak of the intesti nal-born diseases which could as sume alarming proportions." An editorial appearing in the Greensboro Daily News March 23 declared that the local munici pal election is of statewide con cern since young people from all over the state spend the greater nirt of their time at tne uni- versity in Chapel Hill. The state legislature has appropriated $2- 25,000 to be included in the Uni versity budget and this amount will be used in support of the bond issue if it is approved by citizens who vote in the coming election.

"No Stand Taken" "I further maintain that from no quarter has a stand been taken on the issue of redisrict ing, appellate power of the Stu dent council, extralegal courts for privileged groups and the overall problem of the welfare of students on this campus which will serve the best interests of the students of this University. "It . has now become essential that the executive 'department be completely reorganized so that it can anticipate and cope with the problems which beset the student of this campus. President Eller has done a commendable job during the past year in mak ing the executive department serving the students, and this trend must be continued and broadened. "Courts in Muddle" "At the present time the court system of the campus is in a com plete muddle. Out of this chaos must come a system that will as sure all students justice. It is my unwavering view that every stu dent here should have the right of appeal to a higher court. "At the same time I feel that very close scrutiny should be given any special court that might be set up on campus. There as too much danger of creating special courts for special' classes of people. Poor Electoral System "After a year of failing at tempts the campus still does not have an electorial system where by it can know who is being sent to the Legislature to represent it. "It is imperative that a redls tricting and reapportioning bill be put into effect immediately. Of equal importance is the necess ity that the redistricting bill not be slanted so as to favor any one group.
