trustee John Clark this week con
tinued his battle to preserve seg
regation, undaunted by a TJNC
trustee resolution last Friday
which branded his activities as
and "inappropriate" of the board's
"official recognition." -.
In answer to articles, in the
Carolinian, Women's College
newspaper, challenging his state
ments concerning the UNC branch
here, Clark has written j a letter
to the "Eleven Members of the
Student Council," In it he an
swers the college paper's chal

and addresses of the 11 members

College.
Clark inquires about a resolu
tion passed unanimously by the
33-member council which called
upon the trustees to "take steps
to prevent recurrence of further
expression of further attempts to
suppress the free expresion of
student opinion." The resolution
was considered to be an "indirect
slap" at the . Greensboro indus
trialist who has been accused of
"Gestapo tactics" in letters writ
ten to andor about student op
ponents of segregation.
In his most recent letter, Clark
asked the WC council represen
tatives "why" they have "hand
ed me a new slap," if they have.
"If true," he wrote, "I am inter
ested in knowing why. I would
also like to know the names and
addresses of the eleven members
of the Council representing
Woman's College."
Clark also reaffirmed his charg
es that state newspapers are cir
culating "propaganda" against
him, and htat University teachers
from the North are taking "an ac
tive part in the NAACP Cam
paign to break down segregation."

In Debut Of Show Tonight
David M. Kerley, graduate stu
dent in mathematical statistics
from Morganton, Tuesday night
became the first person in the
University's history to serve as
chief officer of both campus de
bating societies.
He was elected Speaker of the
Philanthropic Assembly for the
spring quarter over Robert Pace
and Sol Cherry by a 14-6-3 vote
respectively. In 1938 he also serv
ed as President of the rival Di
alectic Literary Society.
- Kerley is vice-chairman of the
Student Party and was one of the
group's sympathizers in 1935
when it was organized. He is also
a veteran member of the Student
Legislature and parliamentarian
of the group.
At present, he is a Student
Party candidate for the graduate
seat on the Student Council in
the coming spring elections.
One of the few people ever to
be a member of both the Di and
the Phi Kerley has also served as
speaker pro-tem and parliamen
tarian of the Phi.
A captain in the O.S.S. (intelli
gence corp) during the war he has
taught economics and statistics
at the University of Virginia and
Pennsylvania State.
He is now working toward his
PhJD. in mathematical statistics.
Other -Phi officers elected were
Wade Mathews speaker pro-tem;
Fred Crawford parliamentarian;
Franz Koberts, critic; Sid Shut ord,
sergeant-at-arms; Robert Pace,
clerk; and Al Bryant, treasurer.
The 'assembly also initiated
Mary Lila Brown, Gastonia, into
its membership and passed a con
stitutional amendment creating
provisional membership.
With actor-playwright Agnar
Mykle playing one of the major
roles in his own full-length play,
"Morning In Yellow-Orange" will
debut tonight at 7:30 in the Play-
makers Theatre. There will.be a
repeat performance tomorrow
night, same time.
This will be Mykle's first reg
ular stage production, although
he is a successful puppeteer, as
well as novelist, in Oslo, Norway.
At present he is a Fullbright
scholar, studying dramatic art
here.
The company of 30 actors and
technicians is under the expert
direction of Nancy W. Hender
son, a graduate student in play-
writing. Her own play, "Lo, the
Angel"; was quite a success here
last season, and she recently di
rected the Sanf ord Little Theatre's
showing of "The Man Who Came
to Diner."
Featured in , the experienced
cast are Herman Coble as Mr.
Steadman, Deborah Klein as Mrs.
Steadman, Neta Whitty as Louise,
Professor Urban T.v Holmes, Jr.
as the voice of Archangel Michael,
Agnar Mykle as the Author, I. T.
Littleton as Ferdinand Trakas,
and Clyde Gore as Professor Mer
ritt. Others with important parts
are Claude XJarren, Ben Ethe
ridge, John Taylor, Barry Wins
ton, Barbara Byrd, Donald
Wright, Gene Graves, Martha
Davis, James Pritchette, Arthur
Greene, and Frank Mason.
Expressionistic settings for the
unusual script are by Deborah
Klein, with lighting by Arthur
Green, and costumes and makeup
by Anna Graham.
Mykle terms his play "a jocular
fantasy on a modern theme," and
it certainly is one of the more in
genious scripts written here in
some time. It treats a serious sub
ject, the descent of Doomsday on
New York City, in a comedy
manner. The playwright takes an
almost satanic delight in pointing
out all the confusing details that
God overlooked.
There is no charge for admis
sion on either night, and the
audience is invited to remain after
the performance for an open dis
cussion on. the merits or failings
of play. ;
