"Except for the most cursory mention, the bill for establishing the University here has never been " printed," Dr. Henderson said. ' 'This document consists of eight large sheets of thick parch ment stationery; and is curiously entitled: "A Bill for Establishing a University in this State to be Distinguished by the Title of the Morehead Get s Di-Phi Award At Joint Banquet Of Groups 'Medea' Opens Here For 3 -Day Run Tonight The Carolina Playmakers' an nual outdoor Forest Theater pro duction, "Medea," the powerful drama that has held the stages of the world for 2000 years, opens tonight at 8:30 for a three-per formance run . through Sunday night.

The essential features of the bill are numerous but the crucial problem which had to be solved was economic: how to make fi nancial provision' for the mainte nance of a university by a new state almost wholly deficient in funds." " Noting that this was the fourth time he had been asked to give the annual Phi Beta Kappa ad dress here, Dr. Henderson re- marked that "I feel that this hon or is underseved for during. my undergraduate years, 18944-98, there was no Phi Beta Kappa Society here; and so, in a measure, I am a sort of academic imposter." "It - is without historic signi ficance that a Yale scholar should wish to stimulate the desire for rector of the Parkway Playhouse in Burnsville, the largest colleg iate summer repertory theater in the. southeast, for the second straight summer. Blanton Miller, Boone, plays the lead role of Jason, Medea's husband, while Dorothy Berry, Durham, portrays the nurse.

Paying tribute to another fam ous Carolinian, Dr. Henderson said "the preminence of William R. Davie, in personal influence and lasting usefulness, in the North Carolina of that period should always be borne in mind by every alumnus and alumna of this institution by every member of Phi Beta Kappa, and indeed, by every citizen of North Caro lina."

Graham Jones, Speaker of the Phi Assembly and Editor of the Daily Tar Heel, presided at the dinner, attended by more than 85 members of the two debating societies. In a talk after receiving the award, Morehead told how the Planetarium came to Carolina. He originally . intended to do nate to the University a telescope, he said. On talking with Presi dent Frank P. Graham, however, he recognized its- impraetibility and decided to Rive a planetarium if one could be found. On a trip to Sweden in 1930 as personal representative of Presi dent Herbert Hoover he discov ered the planetarium at an expo sition and tried to buy it for the Hayden project in New York. It was then owned by Germany and he was unable to take it from the country and he gave up. Fifteen years later, however, he was successful in buying the planetarium and bringing it , to Baltimore and then to Carolina. Morehead also affirmed his al legiance to his home state. "I have never considered any place home but North Carolina," he said."" - ' Morehead graduated from the University in 1801. In 'his senior year he ran for president of the Di but was defeated.
