Spirit O f Prof f Koch
Still Walks Campus
Walter Whittaker
Many ghosts walk- the campus gray-bearded scholars,
bright-eyed poets, noble statesmen and gallant soldiers.
They belong to the historical tradition of the University,
and, at least in spirit, they will never leave it.
Among these ghosts is a home-
spun little man who always wore
a big grin, a Norfolk jacket, and
was usually accompanied by his
pipe and his small fox terrier.
One of his friends has called him
"Freddy Folkplay," but to his
students he was "known simply
as "Prof P. Koch.'
This afternoon, the Communi
cation Center tells the story of
Prof. Frederick II. Koch, the re
nowned founder of the Carolina
Playmakers, on its weekly "Uni
versity Hour" radio program. The
dramatization is entitled "Dedi
cation of Triumph" and was writ
ten by William Sanders of Roa
noke Rapids.
"I'rol'f" Koch came to Chapel
Hill in I !)!': and taught playwrit
in4 here until his death in 1944
Ifc trg?ini.ed Ihe first University
dramatics group and brought a
new, delightful experience tc
thousands of North Carolinian?
who saw his Playmakers perform
in cities throughout the State.
Each Christmas, in recent years,
"Profl", loured the State himself
to give read in?;-, of Dickens' "A
Christmas Carol," and his
characterization of . "Elrmtzer
Scrooge" and "Tiny Tim" became
a Christmas tradition.
When this young disciple of
the folk day came to Chapel Hill
from North Dakota, he found a
struggling dramatics group badly
in 'need of lulp. Soon he had'
organized the Playmakers and
secured permission to use the
stage of th Chapel Hill high
school for their plays.
Koch began a 'course in play
writing, and enrollment for the
first class included eight girls and
one boy the latter Thomas
Wolfe. Under "Proff's" guidance,
Tom wrote his first work, a
mountain drama called "The Re
turn of Buck Gavin."
Koch convinced the young
Asheville student that he should
write about the people he knew,
the country in which he grew up.
A few years later, Tom Wolfe
wrote his novel, "Look Home
ward, Angel' today considered
one of the master pieces of Amer
ican fiction. He had learned the
value- of the "folk play" from
"Proff" Koch.

Politico Urge
All-Out Vote
In Referendum
Committee Formed
To Get Out Vote
In Tuesday Polling
Student government leaders
operating both- campus political
parties and proponents and op
ponents of the raise in student
fees joined forces yesterday and
strongly urged all students ; to
vote in, Tuesday's referendum on
the block fee increase.
The formation of a committee
"to turn out ,the vote Tuesday"
was announced. "The committee
includes past President Jess Ded-
mond, President Bill MackieBill
Prince, SP vice-presidential nom
inee, Ben James, chairman of the
Finance Committee and UP can
didate for secretary -treasurer,
Banks Talley, SP nominee if or
secretary-treasurer, Harry Hor-
jton, Sol Kimcrling, and Graham
Jones. , .:'' .
The committee released a state
ment pointing out "that some
politicians claim that students
don't really care about what
happens to your money and what
your government dorSs. We-believe
you' do. On Tuesday there
will be a referendum which will
determine if your fees are raised
or remain the same. The result
of the referendum will count only
if 3,400 students vote."
The committee reminded stu-1
dents that the Legislature has
voted an increase in fees from
$5 to $5.50 for undergraduates,
and from $3.75 to $5 for all grad
uate .'students., .."The rajse , ,gops
into" effect unless 3,400 students
vote and unless a majority of that
number vote down the increase."
"Those favoring the increase,
including most student financial
leaders and ' both presidential
nomineeSj contend that a fee
raise is absolutely necessary to
maintain student activities at
their present level.
"Opponents of the increase
state that any raise at this time
will hurt our chances of getting
the trustees and the State Legis
lature to lower tuition. They
also maintain that no drastic cut
in ; student activities will be
caused by keeping fees at present
level. Vote either way, but vote
on Tuesday." 1

To Work On
Group's Report
For Changes
Spring Elections
To Be Final Test
Of Sander's Work
By Roy Parker. Jr.
The Student Legislature
will settle down to its most
rigorous job of. the year to
morrow night as it meets -in
the first of four' special ses
sions this week to consider
the revised student Constitu
tion.
Presented to the Legislature
Thursday, the 37-page work is
a product of the Constitutional
Revision Committee, headed by
Attorney-General John Sanders.
Speaker Ted Leonard has in
dicated that the solons will meet
in , special session every night
next week in order to get through
ihe job. The Legislature will
sit as a constitutional conven
tion, and pass the proposed con
stitutional section by section.
The new constitution will be
come operative when a simple
majority of the Legislature and
of the students voting in the
spring -election Arpil 4 approve
it.
Sanders outlined the principle
changes and additions embodied
in the revamped supreme law in
his - report to the Legislature
Thursday night.
They include a section on sum-
mer school student government,
a revamped section on campus
courts, codification of several stu-
dent government agencies that
how exist under legislative law,
end a general rewording and
clarification of the wording of
the present constitution.
Sanders told the solons that if
the revamped constitution passed.
the Legislature would have to
pass a deal of enabling legisla
tion, since the new supreme law
leaves it a great deal of leeway
in setting election dates, and es-
tablishing codes of practice for
1 governmental agencies and sub-
sidary agencies.
Main point of controversy, San-
dcrs predicted, would be the
