Careful Study Needed
The move started by three students last week to "draft"
General George C. Marshall as president of the University
is, as Student Body President Jess Dedmond said yester
day, premature, As yet there is no one to whom students
may refer their opinions on the choice of a new president
since Governor Scott has not appointed the trustee com
mittee which will consider the selection. When the com
mittee is set up it will undoubtedly make arrangements
for receiving any recommendations made by the student
body.
It is to the students' interests that they make known
their preferences in the selection of a new president.
In doing this, however, the most logical approach seems
to be in line with Dedmond's suggestion that students
should consider the qualities they desire in a president
before they attempt to make an actual choice. Already
several men are being generally mentioned as possible
prospects for the office. If a list of desirable qualities can
be' drawn up to serve as a yardstick in measuring the
qualifications of these and other candidates, it would pro
vide a sound basis for making a wise choice.
A distinguished name such as General Marshall pos
sesses is certainly a factor to be weighed in picking a
president for the University, but it is only one of a great
many factors. If students can agree upon a man or upon
a few men whom they think should be considered for the.
presidency, their perference will carry weight in the de
liberations of the trustee committee, and the more care
fully the choice is studied the more weight it will carry.'
For this reason students should be cautious of giving their
backing to any man, no matter how famous, without care
fully considering his qualifications for the specific job
of a university president.
Good Word For
If Assistant Dean Bill Friday were not taking over the
duties of the office of the Dean of Students, the coming
absence from the University of Dean Fred Weaver might
be a cause for some dismay to next year's students. It is
not too often that a student body is fortunate enough to
have a dean as zealous in safeguarding student freedoms
and as anxious to promote cooperation between students
and university as is Dean Weaver, and when two men of
such calibre are found in the same office it is reason for
rejoicing among students. - ? 4 ,
Since he moved up from the Dean of Men spot last September,-
Weaver has constantly sought methods of build
ing a feeling of unity between the changing student body
and the permanent University staff and of preventing the
outbursts of antagonism which occasionally arise from mis
understandings between the two. On all matters of con
cern to both administration and students WTeaver has call
ed in student leaders for consultation and suggestions. The
resulting understanding of reasons behind decisions has
gone a long way toward curbing hard feelings such as those
which accompanied the dismantling of the scuttlebutt. Al
though no softies in their dealings with students who are
trying to get away with something, both Weaver and
Friday maintain a friendly" and sympathetic attitude to
ward students and are always fair in their rulings.
In the eyes of a student body the office of a dean of
students may be one of two things: It may be a place
of terror to be avoided like poison and entered only with
dread if entered at all; or it may be a friendly place where
students feel free to go for guidance and help. The stu
dent body of this University is. graced with many bless
ings found infrequently and with limitations at other col
leges but among its greatest blessings is a dean's office of
the friendly type. The presence of Bill Friday while Dean
Weaver is studying at Yale next year is assurance that it
will remain so.
It's Time to Choose
Day after tomorrow is election day at the University
and students will be choosing the officers who will lead
campus activities in the next twelve months. Good leaders
are needed, for next year will be the transition period when
the older veteran students will be yeilding place to the
younger group. It needs only careful selection to insure
that the best ability is utilized. That selection is a job in
which each of the more than 7,000 students of the Univer
sity should feel personally responsible for having, a share.
Be sure that you vote.

Apple Tree Farm
Original Play
Starts Monday
By Vestal C. Taylor
Beginning Monday night
and running through Friday
night, people on campus have
a rare treat in store for them
in the five night run of "Ap
ple Tree Farm," authored by
Ida Lupino with music by Bill
Macllwinen.
All of those who have taken
time to preview the show agree
that it has reached a state of
polish that would be difficult
to improve.
"Apple Tree Farm" is a live
ly story of romance and coun
ter romance on the part of
three guys and three gals,
which might be dull in itself
except for the manner in
which Miss Lupino has led the
six main characters through
the plot, combining drama and
honest to gosh comedy. A
brief summary of the situation
is as follows: George Grizzard,
as Vate is after Estelle Richie
as Annie, Annie is after Jim
Geiger as Andy, and Andy is
interested only in the ponies.
Angela, Lib Stoney, is after
John, Sam Greene, who is
looking for Myra, played by
Ann Martin. But Myra was
once supposed to have married
Vate and was left at the alter
when Vate got a snoot full at
his bachelor's party the night
before and couldn't make the
wedding.
Choreographer Foster Fitz
simmons has arranged remark
able dance routines for the
show. The dancers are led by
Mary Jo Cain and Dick John
son. The group of four dance
couples is accompnaied by two
pianos handled by Bill Mac
llwinen and Frank Groseclose.
But the biggest bouquet is
due Marty Jacobs for his ex
cellent work as director of the
show. Marty is already well
, known oh campus for his di
recting but it seems that he
has surpassed himself on this
one.
For the benefit of those who
don't know, the reason behind
this production is the thing of
real and lasting value, for the
"Farm'' proceeds are to go to
the Koch Memorial Fund, in
honor of the late Prof. Koch.
Yes, the reason behind the
show is the best reason of all,
It is to continue the great work
of a truly great man.
Lib Stoney tells this corner
that Betty Lou Ball is sched
uled to return to campus with
a troupe of Salem girls to pre
sent a show in the Rendezvous
Room next Friday night. Reg
ular attenders will remember
Miss Ball for her stellar per
formance in the same spot sev
eral weeks ago. She is a great
performer, at least Fred War
ing thinks so he offered her
a handsome job, and she makes
every minute of her appear
ance worth the attendance
many times over.
Charles Weidman, the tall,
flexible cross between a Pana
ma fire chief and a female
roller skating champion, did a
complete and thorough job of
entertaining a near capacity
audience of students and facul
ty members in Memorial hall
a few nights ago.
Weidman, who has risen to
become one of the foremost
dancing masters of America,
makes a specialty of satire in
the modern dance field. His
troupe, composed of profes
sionals, is made up of the finest
talent from this particular di
vision of entertainment. We
feel sorry for those who missed
Weidman's appearance.
We also feel sorry for those
who were unfortunate enough
to miss the Pan Hell show
"Olio" (I think that's right).
Those gals were great. The
show was a little bulky, but
it was honest to gosh Enter
tainment. Let's have more of
the same from other organize
tions in the business.

NY Concert Plans Being Made
By "Wink" Locklair
Two events earlier this week
the beginning of spring foot
ball practice, and a call from
Hill hall for campus singers
interested in making an ap
pearance with the University
Glee club in Carnegie Hall
next November reminded us
that plans and preparations for
the Notre Dame weekend are
going forward, although the
festivities are still eight months
away, and we discussed the
singing end of it the other
afternoon with Director Paul
Young in his office on the sec
ond floor of Hill.
"About 45 students tried out
Monday and Tuesday," Mr.
Young said, "and we'll be able
to accept about 15 of them."
(Each candidate, when audi
tioning, is asked to sing a few
scales and to sight-read a sim
ple hymn tune in his or her
particular part.) "But we can
still use some first tenors," he
announced.
As for the New York trip,

Carolina Scene
Vefs
By John Stump
There are plenty of veterans
on this campus, and don't ever
let anyone tell you otherwise.
Apparently several hundred of
them also read the Daily Tar
Heel.
Specifically, they read this
column on Wednesday morn
ing where future plans for the
UVA clubhouse were discuss
ed. As quite a few of them
have taken the trouble to tell
us, it is still a little early to be
talking about these" future
plans.
According to Gene Newton,
president of the UVA, the vet
erans will be using their head
quarters for more than the one
quarter suggested by us. We
believe that when the veterans
do vacate, the center should
be used for the campus at
large, not for some one or
ganization, but in view of the
mis-impression many veterans
got from the first article, we
want to explain where the
veterans stand.
No one intends to take this
center from them, least of all
Dick Gordon (source for the
first article) or this columnist.
But . we definitely intend to
try to. get the place for all of
the students wbn the vperans
do vrcate. As a rratt3r of
fact, whila every dormitory
student on campus wants and
intends to get a recreational
center, probably not half a
dozen of them would try to
take one from the veterans.

worked out. "We didn't get
our booking clearance for Car

and we also have to appoint a
manager," Mr. Young com
mented. According to present
plans, the 150 men and women
who make the trip, will leave
Chapel Hill early Wednesday
morning, November 9, aboard
five special buses. They will
arrive in Washington in the
afternoon where, in the eve
ning, it is anticipated that the
combined glee clubs will give
a concert in the Nation's Capi
tal sponsored, if possible, by
the North Carolina Alumni
Association, the North Carolina
Society, or the Southern Soci
ety. They will continue on to
Gotham Thursday morning, un
pack that afternoon, and re
hearse in Carnegie sometime
before the Friday night con

glee clubs will be on their own
until Sunday morning when
they begin the long journey

This 'n That
Wolfe Club
By Bill Buchan
Fans of Thomas Wolfe will
welcome the news that a "Tom
Wolfe Club" is being organized
on campus. Under the guid
ance of Blanton Miller, Dr.
Mary Claire Engstrom and
others, the club is being formed
to study Wolfe's works, hear
speakers who knew him and
in general sponsor programs
which will further his repu
tation on the Carolina campus.
Wolfe, a native of Asheville,
was a student here during the
World War I years and enclud
ed many scenes of Chapel Hill
on the trip has not been select
ed as yet, but there seems to
be a good chance that the
Men's Glee Club will give the
Philip James setting of Vachel
Lindsay's "General William
Booth Enters Into Heaven,"
which they presented with
such success here in Febru
ary. Right now, Mr. Young is
preparing his male singers for
two concerts in Roanoke Rap
ids and Greenville, North Car
olina, next Thursday and Fri
day. He is also rehearsing the
Women's Glee Club for their
spring concert April 21, which
will feature Brahms' Alto
Rhapsody and William Schu
man's setting of a sketch from
"Look Homeward, Angel," by
Thomas Wolfe.
From all indications, North
Carolina alumni in New York
are looking forward to the Tar
Heel invasion next fall, and
it is expected that the Notre
Dame-Carolina contest in Yan
kee stadium and the concert in
Carnegie Hall will be sold out
in advance.

Editor: .
I should like to take this opportunity to express publicly my
appreciation for the fine cooperation shown by the the members
of the University Club and by the members of the Universi y
Band in helping Student Government put over its election rally
last Thursday night. While it is true that our combined efforts
did not succeed in bringing to the meeting a great number of
people outside of those in the usual political circles on campus,
at the same time I believe we impressed the campus with the
idea that an election is in the offing and at least provided some
entertainment. ,
It should also be pointed out that it was the fine work of the
same organizations which made possible the very effective send
off which we were able to give Dr. Graham last Sunday evening.
As these affairs required the sacrifice of some time by both the
University Club and the Band, I feel the campus should know of
the fine cooperation and work. I should like to add farther that
it has been a source of pleasure to me this year to see the Uni
versity Club make a conscientious effort to serve the students on
a year around basis.

A New Angle For Cherry
Editor:
In these days, when all roads lead to communism, I do not deny
the possibility that even the road Mr. Cherry is travelling leads
in that general direction. However, at the present time Mr. Cherry
is on a long and roundabout tour. In view of this fact, may I sug
gest that Mr. Cherry carefully read The Communist Manifesto, and
submit a brief critique to The Daily Tar Heel?
.Such an action on the part of Mr. Cherry, may make it possible
to turn an April Fool's Day joke into the solution of his quan
daries and a revelation of the errors in the philosophy of Omar
Khayyam.
