J J J ft; 1;;; i i; First Unified Campus Chest Will Hold Drive February 5-10; Coord inator Releases Plans Campaign Aims To Cut Number Of Fund Drives Groups Arc Named To Receive Aid Under 'Experiment' Next month will see the Uni versity Campus Chest Program on trial when the experiment u hich passed the Student Legis kiUue last May by an over whelming vote opens a six-day intensive student-help fund earn pit i nn, Feb. 5-10. Specifically designed to cut down the number of drives held on campus each year, the drive will consolidate over a half dozen different drives into the Campus Chest cumpaign. Dick Murphcy, co-ordinator of the drive for this year, yesterday released the names of campus or Ionizations represented on the Board of Directors. They are: the Men's and Women's Intcrdormi lory Councils, the Intcrfratcrnity Council, Town Men's Association Town GiiT 'Association, the l);iily Tar Heel, Alpha Phi Omega Hoy Scout service fraternity and the Mayor of Victory Village. An advisory Board, composed of representatives of the faculty and administration and authori ties from the student body in publicity! solicitations and organ isational work will be selected soon to direct the drive. In addition, Murphcy invited the heads of all campus organi zations to attend future meetings of the Board of Directors which will be announced in the Daily Tar Heel. Formerly, Murphcy pointed out, the campus was asked, on almost a weekly schedule to do nate to some worthy cause. Af ter coming against so many re quests for donations, he explain ed, the students' became harden ed to campaigns and response dropped. This drive, however, he said, will incorporate all the drives into one comprehensive one week campaign, "to give the stu dent a chance to catch his breath." Absent from the list of organ izations which will receive bene fits from this drive are national organizations such as polio fund, American Red Cross, the cancer fund and other similar organiza tions. Murphcy declared that it wasn't by an oversight that those ) organizations were left out, it A was because "they refused to 'r participate in a Cambus Chest !' 5 Campaign." , And these organizations wil , not be permitted to solicit con- V 1 tributions on the campus in the li V future, because of this lack of co- k : operation, he said.

"I've always been told that when you start getting old. you ought to do what you want to do. So many times. I've al ways wanted to go to one of the big dinners.

KAREN LESLIE, 19 year old actress who portrays vivacious Bianco in the Margaret Webster production of "The Taming of the Shrew," is shown with Preston Hanson who plays Lucentio. Hanson also appears as Tiiinius and Decius Brutus in "Julius Ceasar." Both plays will )be presented in Memorial Hall here next Monday. Allen Hails Coming Play, Entertaining By Jerry Weaver John Allen, part-time Instruc tor in the English Department and Ph.D candidate, saw the Mar garet Webster production of Taming of the Shrew" at Prince ton while home during the Christ mas holidays. He called the pro duction, One of the most en tertaining dramatic performances that I have ever seen." Allen was impressed by the spirit of the Webster troupe. He found their approach fresh and their performance full of gusto and downright enjoyment. Unlike many professionals on a lengthy tour, the Margaret Webster actors seemed to approach each per formance as something new and exciting. According to Allen, their enjoyment shared by the audi ence. The performances of Kendall Clark as Petruchio and Louisa Iorton as Katherina, Allen found especially entertaining. He found them "highly amusing and quite believable within the nonsensity of the plot." When asked about the supporting roles, Allen re ported that one of the outstand- inc thines about the Webster producion of "The Taming of the Shrew," was the fact that even the minor roles had . been per fectly cast with experienced ac tors. The audience at Princeton, since the school was on Christmas holi days, was' composed largely of soldiers from a nearby army camp. Shakespeare received many backhanded" compliments from them during, admission. Allen overheard many of the soldiers expressing amazement over find ing a Shakespearian play sq en tertaining. When asked about the costum ing of "The Taming of the Shrew," Allen reported that they fitted the production perfectly. "They were full of color and were a hilarious mixture of periods and styles," he said. The Playmakers are again sponsoring the Margaret Webster productions in Chapel Hill. Last season the company played to capacity houses here for two per formancs. Another sellout is an ticipated for both the matinee performances of "Julius Caesar" arid the evening performance of "The Taming of the Shrew," Jan uary 16th in Memorial Hall. All seats will be reserved and tickets are now on sale in the Playmaker Business Office in Swain Hall. , Boys Eager To Receive Dancing Girls CHICAGO, Jan. 11 (P) A Chicago business man may not want the four beautiful Egypt ian dancing girls he says he inherited, but plenty of Amer ican males are ready to take them off his hands. Three students at Mississip pi State College, signing the names of Guy, Skeeter and Ernest, wrote: "We three lonesome, deso late, disgusted boys at this un- coeducational school will be pleased to relieve you of your entire burden." The letter was one of scores of offers mostly for marriage or adoption which Christo opker G. Janus, Chicago ex porter and importer, says he has received for the girls. Janus, 38 and married, said last week that he inherited the responsibility for the welfare of the girls. It all came about, he said, when his uncle djed leaving him a one third share in an Egyptian cotton planta tion. Under that "country's custom, Janus said, a property owner is responsible for the welfare of everything on his land. The families of the plan tation workers include 12 dancing girls, and Janus said four of them are his private worry. (The Egyptian embassy in Washington said slavery was ended in Egypt 10 years after Lincoln - abolished it in this country. . t Showden ' Names ?Peak- Fowler Editors In Quarterly Staff Changes Carolina Quarterly Editor Har- i ry Snowden made two New; Year appointments yesterday, to his staff to fill top posts left vacant by resignations.
