The fantasy is the work of former Playmaker Howard .Richardson Doctors Close To Religion States Howell Evidences of a revival of in terest in religion by members of the medical profession were pre sented here last night in Gerrard Hall in a lecture 'by Dr. A. C. Howell of the English Department. Dr. Howell, delivering the third in the annual series of lectures sponsored by the Division of Hu manities, spoke on "A Doctor Looks at Religion." Centering his lecture around the famous essay, "Keligio Medici," by the 17th century physician, Sir Thomas Browne, Dr. Howell point ed out that Browne's essay is still popular with members of the medi cal profession. "I find that doctors tnrlav srp writin2 their own 'Re- ligios'," said Dr. Howell. "After searching through indexes of medi cal literature covering the past 20 years, I discovered that scarcely a rronth passed without some article on the subject of religion being published." The speaker discussed works by earlier doctors, beginning with Roman physician Claudius Galen, and continuing through Jean Fer r.el, Jerome Cardan, and Jean Bap tiste von Helmont. Later writings by Osier, Finney, and others point up the revival of interest in, re ligion on the part of members of the' medical profession, explained Dr. Howell. He referred to the 'Autobiog raphy of 1940" by Dr. J. M. Finney, who was professor of surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, who said, "I should not feel that I had been true to my conviction's if I did not make clear my position as to the part religion should play in the practice of medicine and surgery. I "It is necessary that a doctor quietly live his religion in his daily professional life and be ready- when the occasion arises to speak a word of encouragement to some sick and discouraged soul in need of spiritual as well as physical help." and William Berney and will be directed in its Chapel Hill produc- tion by William I. Long. Playwright Richardson ..b e g a n ''"Dark of the Moon" at Carolina, where he studied under the late Proff Koch, and finished it in later years, in collaboration with Ber rey. This unusual adaptation of an old Smoky Mountain ballad en joyed a long and successful New York run, receiving in 1942 the Maxwell Anderson award for the year's best poetic drama. An uncommon mixture of tho supernatural with ordinary lif? "Dark of the Moon" is a piece thai offers every lure to the theater goer. The high romance of witches over the mountaiijtops is beauti fully balanced by scenes of down to-earth realism in the back coun try town of Buck Creek, and, s the two worlds move together to the climax of the love story, an excitement rare, to modern theater is created. k ft Hg I rw li II wf r-l-l ?' ft tit f K ',UJ1 -V m: vv rt mmj & I Effete &. i THIS FACE HAS BECOME FAMILIAR to thousan Is at Chapel Hill through the years.

Robert Oppenheimer from government service will be debated tonight by the Di Senate. Introducd by Sen. Dave Reid, the resolution praises highly the record and accomplish ments of Dr. Oppenheimer and his contributions to the development of the atomic and hydrogen bombs. It further expresses "deep re gret" that President Eisenhower allowed such "unsubstantial charg es to be leveled against one of our greatest contemporary Americans." Dr: Oppenheimer was dismissed, from government service last fall as a security risk due to alledged Communist associations prior to World War II. The Di meets at 8 p.m. in the newly rejuvenated Di Hall in New West. Visitiors ' are invited to at tend debate and take part in it if they wish. SAE Gives Up Visiting Plan One fraternity, Sigma Alpha psilon, changed its mind yester day about the temporary visiting agreement and told the 'Dean of Students' office it no longer wants ihe plan. Two other fraternities told The Daily Tar Heel Friday that they were only accepting the plan for) Germans weekend. The present number of fraternities which ac ?epted the agreement is now 19. No violations of the Administration-offered visiting plan were reported over the weekend. wo 1 Favors Presidential Committee To Look Into Complete System By FRED POWLEDGE The Legislature-controlling Student Party last night decided to drop its study committee's recommendations that: (1) fraternity 'rushing be extended to two weeks, (2) study halls be required of all j?ledges, and, (3) that pledges maintain a "C" average within two semesters of their pledging date. . Instead, the SP decided to favor appointment pf a presidential com- ; mission to study rushing not de mm S7 JAMES L. GODFREY . .-. for service rendered Warren Given Di-Phi Award For Services . .The sixth annual Di-Phi award for "outstanding service to the University, state and nation, the ' Di, and the Phi" went to Lindsay C. Warren, recently-retired comptroller-general of the United States, last night. Warren was ill and unable to be present. In his place, Congress- man Graham A. 'Barden, of New Bern and the Third District, ap peared to accept Warren's award. Warren and Barden are close friends. The Di Senate presented its Taculty award for "outstanding vork in his academic field, having he respect of colleagues, and jdmiration of students," to Dr. James L. Godfrey .of the History Department. Warren was comptroller for nearly 14 years. He is a native of what ks prefers to call "the origi nal Washington," better known in the state as "Little Washington." He was a member of the Phi and took his A.B. degree here in 1903. His law degree came in 1912. 1 4 1A Gam oooes cayed rushing as such. President Tom Creasy, according to an SP member, has agreed . to ' appoint such a committee. IThe SP committee report was prepared by committee Chairman Charlie Dean with members Larry jMcElroy, Don Geiger, Milton Cooke, Ray Long, and Jim Turner. Its three recommendations, had they been passed, would have been rec ommended to the Interfraternity Council, governing body of fra ternities. Turner did not approve the suggestions but helped in their preparation. The second motion, made by Gene Cook, passed by a vote of 28 to two and immediately became SP policy. Cook, after the meet ing, said he had talked with Presi dent Creasy and that Creasy was, in Cook's words, "willing to ap point the study commission." The study committee's report contained statements from stu dents in both campus political par ties and opinions of Assistant Dean of Students Roy Holsten and Harry Kear, of the Student Accounting Office.. Among the statements contained in the report was that of Vice President Martin Jordan (UP): "Rushing does not take enough of a freshman's time to seriously af fect his grades," and that "delay ed rushing would have more de fects than the present system." Frnm Rill Rnffin fTTPV "lot thn ' contro, what " and understand best." Said Milton Cooke (SP): "They (freshmen) don't know what they're getting into when they join a fra ternity ... If a freshman had more time, he might learn the facts." Dean Holsten said, according to the report, that "incoming fresh men are faced with too many dis- j tractions, and that pledges as a . group have the lowest academic average of any group in the Uni versity." . Kear, the report said, reported i fraternities. would realize the need to save money and get as many plerges as possible if they were given a year to prepare for delay ed rushing. The report summarized its find ings with the statement one of two alternatives must be chosen if de layed rushing is accepted. One is strict silence for one semester. (Silence, the report said, "would be next to impossible to enforce. It would inevitably lead to dirty rushing.") The other alternative, the com mittee decided, would be informal rushing. "But only the larger, wealthier fraternities could coh tinue to exist under a system of informal rushing . . . The two al ternatives of delayed rushing would . be financial ruin for some fratern ities or disrespect for student gov ernment," the report said, and concluded with the three recom mendations being made. About 40 sludents attended the party meeting, many of whom were not SP members but interested in the evening's business. Several of the party stalwarts were unable to attend the first part of the ses sion because the Di-Phi annual award banquet was being held at the same time. Gray Takes Week Off From Oppenheimer Case University President Gordon Gray is back at his desk this week while investigations of scientist Robert Oppenheimer are recessed. Gray, head of the investigating group, plans to spend the week here and return to Washington early next week. The investigators are taking a recess to consider the' transcript of their findings.
