SIX SHOWS IN THE MILL: The Planetarium: Work And Worl By BILLY ARTHUR Morehead Planetarium techni cians plus the boss, advisors, sec retary and the janitors were about ready to go berserk. After all, there is but one Plane tarium instrument, only so many hours in the day, and only so little space behind the huge steel dome. And the Planetarium has six shows in the mill, four running and two warming up. Therefore, it was no wonder when a question or suggestion was posed, it was met with the question, "Which show you referring to?" The question, suggestion or critique could have applied to the current public and special offer ings, "Steering By the Stars" and "Beyond the Solar System" respec tively. Or, to a single-shot academie presentation, "Th-e Astronomy of America," or to "Easter, the Awak ening," the big spectacular spirit ual production which was left in-t tact after its closing for a special one-time showing to the Atlantic Coast Debate Council. , NEWS SHOWS Too, the question, suggestion or critique could have been directed towards two new shows, which open May 23 and which are now in the planning stage thaf requires consultations" of the staff, prepara tions of the script, devision special effects and manual labor. Into the working of all six pro ductions go the combined mental movements and manuai labor of Manager Anthony F. Jenzano, Dr. M. S. Davis, a member of the UNC astronomy department and advisor to the Planetarium, and John T. Brittain, James Gates and R. L. McGhee, members of the technical staff. ' Every Planetarium presentation requires a different setting of the great Zeiss instrument, plus scores of hidden projectors around the simulated horizon. And behind the dome are huge stage settings. FRIDAY, APRIL 28 Let's single out Friday, April 28, when four entirely different shows were presented in the chamber. At 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. school chil dren witnessed "Beyond the Solar System." For it, the 15-foot metal monster and a group of projectors were employed to present both little and well known and popular stellar objects and galakies. At 4:15 p.m. "Easter, The Awak ening" was offered with an en tirely different on the Planetar ium instrument and a diverse group of projectors as well as a distinctly different script for the technicians who operate the sound and lighting effects. At 5:30 p.m the Zeiss projector was set again, this time turned back 570 years to the mediaeval period of Chaucer, and checked. N ews 'tXr ?A - Still another set of sound and lighting cues was placed before the teqhnicians for their execu tion without flaw. At 8:30 p. .m"Steering By the Stars" required a fourth perfect setting of the instrument and an other batch of cues for the tech nicians. Four separate narrators had memorized the scripts and were working the Planetarium controls in the dark while speaking from the console. Between shows Manager Jen zano and the technicians confer red and determined which of the Easter stages and projectors should come down first for speedy replacement fdr the forthcoming and also different production opening May 23. Three other members of the staff were affected, too. One was Mrs. Nancy Holder, who must type the script as well as han- die the Planetarium reservations. Whenever someone appeared at the ticket window, she had to re member to ask, "Which program do you want to see?" Others were Hubert Robinson and George Davis, the custodians. They hardly had room and time between shows and' rehearsals for regular maintenance. April 28 was only one day, you rightly say. But remember, the Planetarium, except for three months in the summer, always has four shows "on the - road" two playing and two in" the works. The staff is not yet ready for a psychiatrist unless one might be able to determine how it manages to go in four directions at once. And for how long. - Freshman Camp Planners 1 Slate Meeting Monday I Planners of the 1955 Freshman I Camp will have a 1 p.m. luncheon ! meeting tomorrow, according to committee member Joe Clapp. The luncheon will be held up stairs in Lenior Hall.

Henry To Talk At Commencement Exercises Spring Carnival Friday There is still time for inter ested groups to enter the an nual University Club Spring Carnival, according to Vice-President Joe Clapp. The carnival will be held next Friday. Present plans, said Clapp, include "everything from a night club to sponge-throwing contests to pitching pennies and other cunningly - contrived games cal culated to give the students a run. for their prize money." No duplication of exhibits will be allowed, said Clapp, but "there is plenty of room for some ori ginal concessions that should turn out to be real crowd-pleasers." ; Clapp said any fraternity, soro rity or dormitory may enter the carnival for a fee of $4. All pro fits, he said, will be kept by or ganizations. Two . organizations may co-sponsor a booth, he said. Due to a state attorney gen eral ruling against gambling, only games of skill will be "al lowed and encouraged," accord ing to Clapp. Beer, he said, can be given away only by certificate.

Linn Garibaldi, president of the Western Carolina Telephone Co., and Vic Seixias, famed ten nis champion, are among the re turning alumni. The Alpha Sigma chapter was founded n this campus by a small group' which formerly called them selves the Sigm Gamma club. Chi Psi was the forth Greek letter fra ternity to be established here. After a prosperous beginning, the or ganization became dormant due to the Civil War, in which 10 of the members were killed. The chapter was not active for CO years fol lowing the war. In April, 1923, a petition was aga.n sent to the national organi zation, and soon thereafter, the present chapter was formed. The local Chi Psi group is remember ed for its work to abolish hazing on the Carolina campus. -i : V Yl h XT" Wagner Spoke On NYC The mayor of New York City,-Robert Wagner, talked to a Carolina Forum meeting on the problems and worries of the largest City in the United States.
