Public Schools Are Discussed Last Wednesday evening, in the front room of Lenoir Hall, Phi Del ta Kappa educational fraternity presented a panel discussion on the subject: "Analysis of the Mounting Criticisms of the Public School System." Members of the panel were all of the faculty of UNC: Dr. E. M. Adams, Department of Philosophy; Dr. Richmond Bond, Department of English; Dr. Carl Brown, School of Education, and Dr. J. Minor Gwynn, School of Education. Dr. W. Carson Ryan, School of Educa tion, was panel moderator. Dr. Adams pointed out that our national culture has a set of values not in sympathy with intellectual development, and that the schools, elementary and secondary, are very much controlled by the public and its culture. "We of an intellectual environment at the University are judging the public school from a value system foreign to the aver age community." Dr. Bond expressed the opinion that public school teachers are neither paid nor equipped to teach the whole child. The home and the church still have their educa tive purposes. . Dr. Brown mentioned the need for all educators to J agree and to understand what they are trying to do; to decide what is really an ed ucated man. ; Dr. Gwynn stated that the col lege faculty has not "spelled out" what it expects intellectually from the public school. - Dr. Adams' remark that college freshmen are lacking more in char acter than in ability, that they experience an inability to learn when learning is not the most pleasant behavior available at the moment, brought mention of the eight year study to the discussion. This report cited development of character and of optimum ability, with the mother tongue as two most important educational out comes indispensible to. the pursuit of higher learning. freshman Proofs AJU freshmen who have not selected their Yackety Yack proofs are requested to come by Graham Memorial basement be tween 1 and 7 p. m. today. fThere are a number of unidentified pictures which must be identi fied, editors said. Baptists' 'Boy Shows Kin Of By R. B. SHARPE A large audience at the Chapel Hill Baptist Church was tensely held and deeply stirred by the i drama, The Boy with a Cart last night. The English poet - play- ' wright Christopher Fry, best-known as author of The Lady's Not For Burning, has written other plays on religious subjects: Thor, With Angels, The First Born (on Moses in Egypt), and A Sleep of Prison ers, the last especially for produc tion in churches. The Boy with a Cart was effec tively directed by Louise Lamont, costumed by Nancy Riley, lighted by Harvey Whetstone, and played a II f n I Was Active At Carolina Samuel Hirsch, who won his bachelor and master's degrees at the University of North Carolina, has been indicted for perjury in Miami in testifying that he had never been a member of the Com munist Party or otherwise affiliat ed with it. The indictment charged that he had been a member of the Com munist ; Party at the University from 1936 through 1938. Hirsch received his B. A. in ... ,0l- , Dramatic Arts m 1947 and his M.

Hirsch first . came, to the Univer sity in 1936 on a scholarship given to him by people in his home town community of Trenton, N.

He now holds the Purple Heart for wounds he received in France in 1944. He was a first lieutenant in the infantry during World War H, Hirsch acted in the "Lost Colo- ny.

Yet there is no strange phenom enon involved; merely Kit Critten ton's abilities as captain of the UNC chess team. Mutual Interest The team evolved out of a mu tual interest in the ancient sport shared bv Crittenton, Doug Kahn and Robert Hubbard. The threee i possessed such an avid fascination for the game that i nl951 they originated a chess club which pro vided a means whereby enthusi asts of the game could get togeth er. From this beginning in the au tumn of '51 to the present time, the group has gone down in defeat on only two occasions, once to Duke and once in a practice ses sion to Columbia University, hold ers of the national championship. Operating without financial aid from the University, the team has manipulated its chessmen into po sitions which have led to the Sou thern Intercollegiate championship for the past three consecutive years, and they currently boast a 20-match winning tsreak. The team is composed of Critten for the game that in 1951 they ern Intercollegiate champ; Doug Kahn, runner-up in the North and South Carolina tournament, who Joan Sasser, sponsored by Zeta Psi ' ' - Vance - Pettigrew Dorm; Miss Betty : - With A Carf Drama, Religion by an accomplished cast, including John Clayton as narrator (with Earl Wynn as an off-stage voice), shepherd boy who becomes church David Pelton. as Cuthman, the -builder and saint, Josephine Shar key as his mother, whom he draws to her new home in a cart, Gloria Di Costanzo, Harold Fraser, Clinton Lindley, , and Constance Carbaugh as village boys and girls, several of whom also dance a scene as Cornish Mowers, and Walter Spear man, Patricia Liston, Peter O'Sul livan, Dwight Hunsucker and oth ers as villagers of Steyning where Cuthman builds his church. Oppos ing his enterprise, Harold Fraser, Clinton Lindley, and Louise La mont as the oafish Fipps boys and their shrew of a mother provided some good comedy. . Wilton Mason's special music was just right for the play, and Mrs. Lamont's direction kept it flowing as well as the diffficulty of en trances and exits in the church permitted. Pastor Habel and his undenomi national congregation seemed to agree that drama, religion, and poetry proved themselves closely akin. Fry's flexible, natural, un forced verses gave a lightness to the mood of religious simplicity; so that miraculous whirlwinds (with a very timely reference to hurricanes!) were accepted as nat urally . by last night's audience as they came to the early hearers of the Legend of Saint Cuthman. The Pulpit Players are offering the production to churches of all denominations throughout the state on Sunday evenings through May. 1955, Information can be obtained from John W. Parker. Smith Dorm Slates Party Smith Dormitory will have its first social function of the year in the form of a Halloween party to night at 8 o'clock. The girls will entertain for ap proximately 75 residents of Old East, Old West, Battle, Vance and Pettigrew. Decorations will carry out the holiday theme. There will be dan cing, and refreshments will be served. interdormitory Chess Meet Starts Soon First round competition in the Interdormitory Chess Tournament plays in the number two slot; Pete Henderson, Lynchburg, Va., city champ, the number three compet itor; Jack Godfrey, runner-up in the Virginia State championships, and Robert Hubbard, of Washing ton, D. C. "iThe chief factor limiting the progress of the team," says Crit tenton, "is the problem of finan ces." He explained that "team members are compelled to pay their own expenses to the various matches." Most successful and least herald ed competition group on the cam pus, the team has as its primary ambition this year to enter the na tional meet in New York during the Christmas holidays. No definite schedule has been planned for this year, but the team has met two opponents victorious ly already and are slated to meet Duke this Sunday. Meetings of the Chess Club whose president is Pete Henderson,-are held every Tuesday night in Graham Mmorial. Crittenton extends an invitation for you to enter your knights in the joust and join the select ranks of the chess "men of note." .re Well-known Y -Courter. fi Most Students Called Want 'Brigadoon' , , A quick telephone poll yester day showed that students were generally in favor of the establish ment of a "Brigadoon Club" for dorm men. Bill Blue, president of Lewis Dorm, said, "I've talked to many boys in the dorm and they think it is a good idea if the price can be low enough for the men to af ford." Frank Watkins, president of Old East, said, "I think it is an excell ent idea, but how can it be put across in the right method?" . He went on to say that every dorm will probably have to take ? respon sibility for selling tickets to 25 per cent of its residents He thought this might prove a big financial responsibility on the dorms, but thought it could be ironed out. "Everyone seems very favorable to it," said a student in Everett. Raymond Taylor, president of Old West, said, "My first impres sion is that the plan sounds good. I'll have to hear and study more about ; it to make my final decision on it. I have not discussed it with more than two or three Their feelings seem to be the same as mine." "The recommendation seems to have excellent potentialities. How ver, I favor the provision that each dorm be entitled to vote on the measure before final approvement is announced. Interdorm social activity has been much needed. Now, an important solution has been found," said Neil Bass, vice (See MOST STUDENTS, page 4) gets underway early next week. Play begins at 8 p. m., in the social room of each of the 19 men's dorms. ; John Beshara, social chairman of the Interdormitory Council, point ed out that the play opens in the upper and lower quads on Monday night; in B-V-P, Old East, Old West and Steele on Tuesday; in Cobb and Whitehead o n Wednesday night; and in Joyner, Winston, Connor and Alexander on Thursday-Competition will be held on a round robin basis in the dormito ries and will be officiated by the Vniversity Chess Club. The winner of the eliminations will receive an individual dormitory champion's trophy and will be qualified to participate in the All-Campus Championships later this year. Points will be awarded by the Intramural Activities Department to both individuals and dorms en tering the tourney. Dorm points will be awarded on a basis of 10 points for entrance, 20 points for matches won, with five points for j first place and 3 points for runner J up in the campus tournament j standings. Players will receive in dividual points upon entrance and with each victory. Interested players are urged to contact their dorm Intramural f manager before Monday.

Picking the injured animal up, the student carried the squirrel back to his fraternity house where he nourished it back to health by feed ing it warm milk through an eye dropper. At the same time the squirrel was found, it was estimated that the animal was just a little over a month old, and since Conder felt that the squirrel could not survive if left to wander about, he decided to keep the squirrel until it was old enough to shift for itself. The squirrel's first home, then, became a trash basket with a wire screen over the top, and the problem of what to name it arose. Since the correct gender of the animal could not be determined, it was decided that some name should be given that was appropri ate and yet neuter. Out of this reas oning came the name "Goop," and from this name comes the story of an unusual mascot. Except for this summer, the Lambda Chi House has been "Goop's" only home, where its fav orite food, next to lettuce, has been the house-boy's finger; Dur ing the day "Goop" is kept in a Fro ock For Student Legislature Establishes Group To Study University Band Improvements By LLOYD SHAW The student Legislature last night recommitted the hill to abolish quizzes during the week of fraternity rushing, passed a bill to establish a University Band Improvements Commit tee and passed a bill to provide funds for the Student Audit Board. - Twelve bills and resolutions were introduced in all. : 1 The resolution abolishing quiz- PARADE Sixth District Young Demo crats will have a Charles Wilson "hound dog" parade here this afternoon.

It is during these freedom runs that "Goop" manages to get into mischief such as ripping open a couch and crawling in to go ' tu sletP wr a bite out of a dollar bill that was lying loose on a dresser top. "Goop" is not always so playful Every once in a while it gets a de sire to do some serious studying, and if it is free it will climb up someone's desk, where someone is studying, and nibble at the eraser of the pencil in use. Other times he will perch upon Conder's shoul der and quietly observe the text book in use. Like any other student, "Goop" wants to relax every so often, and if some beer is handy it will take a small nip. "Goop" probably woull take more," said Conder, "But that is about all he can take without passing out." As yet Conder is un able to say whether "Goop" has a hang-over the next morning. Next spring Conder plans to let , "Goop" go, and by then it is hoped that the squirrel will be old enough to take care of itself. "Goop" is such a fighter that its keeper does not think that it will have much trouble in surviving, but since the animal is so tame it is feared that! it might decide to lisht unon some ! poor coed's shoulder, as it so often j Carter, social chairman of Mc does now, and therein might lie his j Iver and Carr, respectively, if ruination.v jthey wish to attend.
