'Good Lady of Setzuan
Playmakers To
In Forthcoming
By Betty Johnson
A neat problem in character dif
ferentiation was well on the way
to solution when Kai Jurgensen, di
rector of the forthcoming Carolina
Playmakers' production, "The Good
Woman of Setzuan," decided to use
half-masks for the 24 characters
played by his cast of 12.
The unusual production will be
presented in the Playmakers Thea
ter Thursday through Sunday.
Originally this modern German
expressionist drama included some
30 citizens of the Chinese village
of Setzuan, in addition to the good
woman and her airline pilot lover.
Cut to its present 24, the play was
still considerably unwieldy for the
limitations of the Playmakers'
stage.
" Through the use of concert stag
ing and masks, Jurgensen has sur
mounted this difficulty adroitly and
in keeping with the modernist tone
of the play.
Sydney Litwack, graduate stu
dent from Los Angeles, Calif., de
signer and executor of the 22 cari
cature masks to be used in this
production, brought extensive ex
perience in scenic design to the
problems at hand.

BULLETIN
The Rev. Charlie Jones, who
refused to resign his pastorate
at the Presbyterian Church here,
was fired last night because "the
interests of religion imperatively
demanded it."
A resolution containing this
statement was passed 7 to 1. by
the Orange Presbytery Judicial
Commission. This automatically
dissolves Mr. Jones' pastoral con
nection here. The commission
added that it had not been their
wish "to use our judicial authori
ty." Earlier they had demanded
Mr. Jones' resignation for alleged
doctrinal departures.

(This is the first of several articles describing
life o nthe campus in the school year 1841-1842.

What would you do if you picked up a faded,
handwritten sheaf of papers and your eye fell
upon this statement?
"This is my private journal xvhich I want no man
to read while I live nor after my death."
Would you feel just a little disappointed and
put the diary back where you found it? Or would
you react like most people, light up a cigaret,
settle down and read on with even more intense
curiosity?
The writer of those words was a student here,
class of '42, (1842). The age of the words', the
long-ago death of the author, perhaps add to the
somberness of their aspect.
Ruffin Wirt Tomlinson (1817-1844) came from
a farm near Smithfield. During his senior year at
Carolina, he made almost daily notations in his
"journal." He commented shrewdly on dating on

Defeat Without
Any Bitterness
President Ham Horton yesterday
called upon the student body to
accept without bitterness the de
cision of the Trustees concerning
Saturday Classes. He thanked those
wlio participated In the fight
against the change.
Students expecting to undergo
special hardship due to the switch
are asked to notify the president's
office as soon as possible. An at
tempt will be made to alleviate such
cases.
Below is the text of an open let
ter issued yesterday afternoon by
Horton:
"An open letter to the, student
body:
"The question of whether or not
we are to have Saturday classes has
been decided. We lost. We're gonna
have them. Our only task now is to
accept them with as good grace as
possible.
"To blame the Executive Com
mittee, the Trustees, or South
Building for the switch to Saturday
classes can do no good to anyone.
And it can do harm to everyone.
"For their special help in the
fight against Saturday classes we
would like to thank the following
people: tne iacuity xor tneir res

ernment.
The original diary is owned by Miss Emma
Tomlinson, a distant relative of its writer. Miss
Tomlinson's cousin, John Sanders, a law student
here and former president of the student body,
discovered its existence in the summer of 1948. He
was preparing to enter the University at that time,
so his interest in the document was personal and
immediate.
For several reasons, Sanders felt, the Tomlinson
diary should become public record. It seemed to
have considerable historical value to friends of
the University. Also, says Sanders, "It affords an
intimate and intrinsically interesting account of
the life of its author during his final year in
college."
The result of Sanders' interest in the project
is the diary's publication in the February and
March issues of the North Carolina Historical
Review. Sanders' job of editing has added much
to the value of the document as a contribution to
the University's historical record.
The editor has "attempted to identify, with
brief biographical notes, each of the persons re
ferred to byTTomlinson in association with the.
University or Chapel Hill. Where it appeared ad
visable, explanatory footnotes have been added to
clarify certain of his references to activities and

Walter McFall,, University Party
Chairman, issued a statement yes

with particular reference to an ed

"Never, to my knowedge," said
McFall, "has the UP 'Notified the
various fraternity and sorority
houses that fraternities would be
abolished if the SP won,' as Tues
day's editorial "Try, Try, Again'
stated."
"On the contrary," McFall said,
"the UP has never felt any distinc
tion between fraternity and dormi
tory men other than their place of
residence."
Editor Walt Dear commented in
return: "Since, The Daily Tar Heel
is a newspaper, it will continue to
take stands on issues. The Daily
Tar Heel is partial to all sides on
many matters. It is impartial in its
efforts to seek out the truth and in
expressing its opinion.

SP SEEN I
! Tillman Choice
To Edit Yack;
Race Is Ruqqed
By Louis Kraar
The University Party nominated
Bob Gorham their presidential can
didate last night by acclamation.
Rolfe Neill won the nomination
for Daily Tar Heel editor also by
acclamation. Neill, present manag
ing editor of the newspaper, said
he would try for a double endorse
ment. The party O.K. for Gorham took
less than a minute. This nomina
tion followed an hour's battle to
pick one of three candidates for
editor of the Yackety Yack. Rollie
Tillman won the nomination over
Bob Colbert and Lib Moore.
Gorham outlined what he called
"two principles for this campaign."
They were "common sense" and
"sincerity."
The UP nominee is from Rocky
Mount and is best known for his
work as chairman of the orienta
tion program. Gorham is in the
Phi Assembly, a former legislator,
and a member of Delta Kappa Ep
silon fraternity. His nomination
was not much of a surprise since
he has been mentioned for the post
for several months.
Neill, Daily Tar Heel candidate,
was news editor in his freshman
year. He enrolled from Columbus,
Ga. but now lives in Chapel Hill.
He became managing editor during
his sophomore year and later ser
ved as executive editor. He re-assumed
the managing editor's job
last spring with the election of
Barry . Farber. He is a political
science and history major and a
member of Phi Delta Theta fra
ternity. Gorham declared after his nom
ination "we, the University Party,
have the opportunity to continue
raise student government to a new
a great service. We can further
a level of dignity and respect, in
which each student feels that he
is a part. I firmly believe that the
major factor in student apathy so
prevalent here is the lack of re
spect that the average student has
for student government.
"This lack of respect comes from
the constant bickering, the politi
cal maneuvering by the campus
politicians in an attempt to increase "
party fortunes. Politics has a place
on the campus, but this place must
not be over emphasized."
Contrasting the quick selection
of president and Daily Tar Heel
editor, nominations for editor of
the Yackety Yack brought much
debate. Tillman, winner of the nom
ination, was mentioned early this
week as a "dark horse" candidate.
He is not a staff member of this
year's yearbook but is business
manager of Tarnation.
The top issue in the Yackety
Yack editor selection was that of
rebates the money refunded to
the staff, by printers in return for
meeting deadlines. In the past,
staffers have received this money.
But recently there has been some
question as to whether this prac
tice should continue.
Colbert and Miss Moore are Yack
staffers. Both are in favor of staff
ers getting the rebates. Tillman
did not favor this.
Upon defeat, Colbert said, "I
am dropping out of the race . . .
because it is my conviction that
politics have no place in the Yack
ety Yack. I am now going to do
all I can to see that the Yack is
taken out of politics."
The party will nominate for vice
president, secretary-treasurer and
class officers next week.
