Always ready to be of service to North Carolina students, Capps spent one afternoon in Chapel Hill helping plan the show, and then returned Sunday night for the program.

Memorial Fund It was last summer while, he was working on a thesis for a doctorate in music that Mason started composing show tunes for the musical. He had chosen for his thesis the transcription of 'some lute suites of the Eighteenth Century for piano and harpsicord. But it was a long, hot summer and the task was a gruelling one. In the midst of his work, when the Eighteenth Century got to be too much for him, reaction set in, and he wrote the song. "How can I get to be slicker quicker?" His completed thesis has al ready won recognition. WaiVla Landowska, famed, harsicordist was impressed by it, wrote him requesting the score, and is studying it for possible use in her concerts.

AH of the appointments are subject to the approval of the. Student Legislature. J. K. and Mason will help Dick Murphy in the office of the attorney-general.
