Although Miss Rahn has been acclaimed for her acting, as well as her vocal ability, singing seems to have developed ; first when as a student of Tuskegee and Atlanta University she sang at campus functions and wherever she was asked. "As for dramatics, my ba sic training in acting was with a community theater group in Har lem, founded by my husband, an actor-director, and this is what really prepared me for my role in Carmen Jones." 1 1 J PRESIDENT HARRY TRUMAN : Students 'Coast Longer' . .

At the General Circulation desk business has dropped this year. "I can't see that we're as busy as we were last year," Miss Mary Lou Lucy, who is in charge of the desk, said. "Because our figures show only books checked out, we can't tell whether the library is used more or less this year than last," she said.- Miss Lucy pointed out that total : circulation is up a little, though it dropped on weekends in General Circulation, Reserve Room, and General College 'Reading Room. that last year's total circulation, : including extension libraries, was 299,585, which was about 20,000 m llli ' Jh PAUL, green: Orient Drama To Be Feature Of Green Talk Playwright.

Green spent much . time in the Orient last year as a "cultural am bassador" under the sponsorship of the Rockefeller Foundation. All three types of Japanese drama the Noh or lyrical drama, Ningyoshibai or marionettes, and Kabuki, the popular theatre are represented in the exhibit. The Noh drama, oldest of the three , . types, Is based on Chinese Japanese poetry and legend. and A number of photographic al bums showing fine masks used in the Noh plays, a book of famous Noh drama dress designs and books containing texts of the plays ! in Japanese are among the items displayed. j Playmakers, and has at times ap- , , 1 peared on the stage with all mem- Items on display relating to theL e n. . , marionette theatre are books con tainirrg photographs of representa tive heads of puppets and scenes: from puppet plays.

Cobb Dormitory Goes Modern With UHF Television Antenna Cobb Dormitory is now wired for ultra-high frequency TV. The addition of a new antenna to the roof of Cobb Dormitory will enable residents to view television programs from Raleigh and pos sibly Greenville, S. C. and Winston-Salem, dorm President Char lie Hyatt said yesterday. The TV set, bought last spring out of dorm funds, came equipped wjth channei but the an j a; l 1 Lfiiiiti was ui me tunvcuiiuudi ! type. "We missed the South Caro lina game because it was broadcast on UHF," said Hyatt, "but we are getting the new antenna installed more than in 1951-52. She feels that the slack in busi ness at the general circulation desk would indicate less under graduate use of the desk. "The student can coast longer on the semester system than he could be fore," she said. More Curious Statistics kept by the Reference jRoom indicate that students are more curious than before. The number of questions asked there rose from 1,095 in October, 1952, to 1,429 in October of this year. There has been an increase of 250 questions in the first two weeks of November, Reference statistics are kept by Miss Georgia Faison, Reference Li brarian. The staff in the Refer ence Room said there has been a definite increase in the number of people using the room. There have ben up to 156 people studying there some nights, they said, Mrs. Jeff Hill in the General College Room has noticed an in- crease in use of that room also. She said that it drops on Saturday, j but picks up again Sunday night. I Playmaker Production Is Tonight 'On Borroweed Time' Begins Five-Day-Run "On Borrowed Time," Paul Os born's fanciful comedy of love and death in an apple tree, opens to night at 830 in the Playmakers Theatre for a five-day run, through Sunday, prior to its two week tour of North, Carolina. Harry Davis of the Playmakers staff is directing the production. John W. Parker, business man ager, said yesterday that ticket sales were "going well." The Friday and Saturday per formances as well as tonight's are close to sold out. Appearing in the play are Chris tian Moe, New York City, in the leading role of Gramps, with Les Casey, Chapel Hill, as Granny, and her son Michael as the boy Pud. Jane Barringer, Norwood, plays Demetria. Barbara Beasley, Spring- field, Ohio, plays Marcia; Rick Faw, Southern Pines, Mr. Brink; David Ashburn,' Winston-Salem, Evans; William White, Topsham, Me., Pilbeam; Seymour Herzog, Grimes; Franz Roberts, Hillsboro, the sheriff; Warren Bayless, Chap el Hill and Joseph Rosenberg, two workmen and Jock Lauterer, , dPeA The theatrical careers of Les t T TT'H 1 Casey and her family will reach a kind of fulfillment when she plays the grandmother of her six-year-old son, Michael.

Last fall Les enjoyed the un usual distinction of playing her daughter's sister in Mary Dee's first Playmaker show, and now she now." Commenting on the popularity of the TV set, Hyatt' said, "We have noticed that the set has served a great purpose in this dorm because it has provided something for the leisure hours of the studenets. On fight nights and special occasions like Truman's speech the other night the lounge is crowded." "We expect to have the first TV dorm party soon," said Hyatt, "whereby a faculty member and his wife will be invited to attend, and residents can bring their dates down." . Opinions of the new semester system were gathered from all parts of the library. Cook feels that it is not exactly right to keep students on "the Hill" by means of the six-day week. "But," he said, "if a better brand of educa tion can be given with the semes ter system, I'll be the first to vote for it. Current trends are toward the five-day week, however, so why should we be backward? If the use of the library and books keeps increasing, I'll be all for the system." Other staff members say that the new system works a hardship on professors and students alike because the professor now has two instead of three classes to teach and a greater number of students, and therefore he cannot give as much individual attention to his students or get to know them as well. The Reference Department said that though they've been busier, not as many questions about the use of the library have been asked since the Orientation Program was introduced about five years ago.
