By Belsy Baunk
Estelle Ritchie of, Boston, who
claims her actress sister is the
real comedian in the family, will
defy that claim again tomorrow
night when she plays Annie
Turner, the female comedy lead
in "Apple Tree Farm."
This will be the third comedy
part Miss Ritchie has copped
since she came to Carolina in
the fall as assistant to Sam Selden,
director of the University's Dra
matic Art department. Her other
roles have been Trina in "I Re
member Mama," Mrs. Candour in
"School for Scandal," and one
of the Irish biddies in the one

A Dream." After eight years of

Valkyrie Sing;
Honor Tapping
To be April 25
The date for the annual Val
kyrie Sing and Fleece tapping
is set for Monday night at 8
o'clock, April 25, in Memorial
hall, Teeny Royall, co-chairman
of this year's program said yes
terday. . Each campus organization is
asked to participate in the Sing
by carrying out a theme in its se
lection of songs and staging. Lov
ing cups will be awarded to the
winner of the men's group and
the women's group.
The Valkyries will have a light
ing technician to help each organ
ization with its staging, and a
rehearsal time of thirty minutes
can be arranged with the use of
lights,' Miss Royall said.
Organizations are asked to sub
mit the theme and songs that
they will use to Miss Royall as
soon as possible, Sue Stokes, co
chairman with Miss Royall urged.
She said this request was made
in order to prevent duplication
of songs, but not necessarily dup
lication of themes.
Entrants will be judged on a
point system, the chairmen an
nounced. Music, which consti
tutes 65 per cent of the points,
will be judged on arrangement,
balance, blend, performance, rel
ativity to theme, . and musician
ship. Other items which will be
considered by the judges are
originality, 20 points, staging, 10
points, and costumes and props,
five points.
Rules set up by the Valkyries
state that a minimum of eight
persons can be used by a group,
and that no soloists will be al
lowed. Each member must sing
and not be merely a part of a
pantomine. Also each participant
must be an active member of the
organization he represents.
Pantomine is allowed, but no
dances or dialogue, and accom
paniment is permissible. Rules
limit performances to nine min
utes, and a maximum of $5 may
be spent on costumes, and props.
Only hand props will be allowed.

change-over.
Playing opposite Miss Ritchie
will be James Geiger of Miami,
Fla., as Andy Merrilees, a no
good, horse-betting shoe clerk
who can't seem to like the right
people or things and, consequent
ly, gets into more jams than a
high school freshman. Jim, who
holds the record for student per
formances with the Playmakers,
will make his 41st bow on the
Carolina stage.
Other leading roles in "Apple

George Grizzard (Bob Vate),

The original Deep River singers, known as the Ebonaires,
will appear tonight at 8 o'clock in Hill hall. The musical

The program will be a revival f

said that "Music Under the Stars"
would be alternated from week
to week with a "Campus Sing."
Recorded music for tonight's
presentation will be drawn from
PhilliD Couch's collection and
from Graham Memorial which -j is j
co-sponsor of the project.
Next week the "Campus Sing":
will be staged with a campus
organization presenting skits.
Charleen Greer is in charge of
arrangements, and groups have
been asked to contact her for
future billings.
Rolader said yesterday that
the program grew out of many
requests by students to re-institute
the weekend affair. He said,
"We feel that "Music Under the
Stars" and the "Campus Sing"
can again be a favorite feature
of weekend entertainment. If it
gains support this week, we hope
to continue it through the spring."
The chairman added that the
Forest theater site was ideal
since it would fit perfectly with
the informal theme, and refresh
ment facilities are near by in
the Circus room of the Monogram
club.
In case of rain, he said, the
program will be cancelled.
Moscow's Charges
Are Thrown Out
By Western Powers
WASHINGTON, April 2 (UP)
The 12 North Atlantic powers
today rejected Moscow's charge
that they are banding together
for aggression against Russia.
They approved the final draft of
their defensive alliance and went
ahead with plans to sign it Mon
day. Secretary of State Dean Ache
son and the foreign ministers of
the 11 other western powers put
their final okay on the treaty
text at a two-hour conference in
the State department auditorium,
where the formal signing will
take place.
When they emerged, they issued
a joint communique dismissing
as a complete "misrepresentation"
the protest sent from the Krem
lin on Thursday. ;
"The pact is not directed against
any nation or group of nations,
but only against armed aggres
sion," it said.

Legion Post Joins
Draft Movement
The "Marshall for President of
the University" movement lost
momentum yesterday after gain
ing the endorsement of nearly
600 students and 275 members of
the Chapel Hill American Legion
post, though some 200 additional
names added to the petitions cir
culating throughout the campus.
Banks Shephexxl, spokesman
for .the three students who began
the distribution of petitions
without the sanction of any cam
pus organization attributed the
slowdown to the exodus of stu
dents leaving Chapel Hill for
their weekend visits at home.
Student body President Jesse
Dedmond and Representative
John W. Umstead were against
the move to draft Gen. Marshall.
Jjeamond described the move
ment as "hasty" and ill-timed.
Umstead declared the petitioning,
a "bunch of foolishness."
In answer to Umstead's charge,
Shepherd replied, Irregardless of
Mr. Umstead's comment, we in

We plan to intensify the drive be

Mayfield who named Marshall
as valuable to the University as
its president "because of his
prestige."
General Marshall, reached in
Wilmington, where he is visiting
during the Azalea Festival, stat
ed that the petitions were a sur
prist to him. When asked if he
would take the post recently va
cated by Dr. Frank P. Graham,
and whether he was honored by
the movement, Marshall replied:
Naturally, 1 have no com
ment." He would not explain fur
ther.
If Marshall were appointed,
critics of the move pointed out,
he undoubtedly would be obliged
to retire in a few years. Presi

by state law to retire at the age
Of 70. Marshall is in his 60's,

Political Front
with Charles McCorklc
This Is Your Last Chance-Don't Miss It
FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO DID NOT HAVE TIME or just
didn't give a damn about going to the last couple of meetings at
which the top candidates for political office spoke, we have good
news: You have another chance. Tonight at 6 o'clock at the Bap
tist church, the three candidates for president of the student body
will make short talks. The Baptist Student union, sponsors, have
invited all students to come to the BSU supper meeting and hear
Dick Gordon (UP), Charlie Long (CP) and Bill Mackie (SP) put
in their bids for the campus vote.
Only the presidential candidates will speak, but all candidates
are urged to be present, because after the talks, there will be a
question and answer period at which all candidates present will
be asked to participate.
On That Question of Co-Editors-Good or Bad?
FOR THOSE PERSONS ON CAMPUS WHO HEARD that most
of the people who have been in publications for any length of
time around here are against any sort of co-cditors or board of
editors of any publication it's true. And there are a lot of good
reasons for it that any of us can tell you. Just for fun, ask Tom
Wharton, who is co-editor of Tarnation now. He will give you
the straight scoop. And he's a man who should know, if anybody
does.
But our point: We were perusing the files of the Daily Tar Heel
the other day and found this item in the issue of March 23, 1937:
"The Student Council, in a Graham Memorial session late last
night, defeated the plan of the Carolina Magazine to elect two
editors by declaring co-editorship repugnant to the Publication
union's constitution and therefore illegal."
Odds and Ends of Incidental Information
IN CASE SOME OF YOU INTERESTED PEOPLE didn't know
it, efection day comes on Tuesday of this week. Many of you
haven't been too interested in the proceedings up to now, but for
the sake of your student government and mine, please go to the
poles and vote. It won't take you but a minute.
Here we go with the rumor mill again: It looks pretty certain
from this corner that Al Lowenstein, Student party candidate for
vice-president, is being backed in his race by such people as Tom
Eller, former president of the student body (SP-CP), Bill Miller,
chairman of the Orientation committee who ran for the presidency
on the UP ticket a couple of years ago, Emily Baker, speaker of
the Coed senate, and Feme Hughesi president of the Pan Hellenic
council.
Graham Memorial is discriminating against politicians! We
don't care what Bob Watson said in yesterday's paper, that sign
is still down there the one in the office that says, "Political
Mimeographing Will NOT Be Accepted."

"Music Under the Stars," an
