(Henley Photo) SovGiif Gn Will Open Tomorrow , "Seventeen," Booth Tarkington's famous novel concerning -puppy love in 1907, has been enjoyed in many versions since it was first written. The Carolina Playmakers wfiil . present "Seventeen" in its most recent form, a musical com edy, at Memorial Hall tomorrow, Saiurday and Sunday, at 8:30 p.m. . First published as a short story in Metropolitan Magazine in"1914, the story of young Willie Baxter's first encounter with love was prin ted in book form two years lafer. The stage- version, a comedy without music, was presented on Broadway in 1918, with Willie be ing portrayed by actor Gregory Kelly. The show enjoyed a run of 225 performances in days, when long runs were rare. Other troubled young Willies have included Jack Pickord, broth er of actress Mary Pickford, in the silent film version in 1916, and Jackie Cooper, acting opposite Bet ty Field, in the sound film version in, 1940. Ruth Gordon, presently starring on Broadway in Thornton Wilder's "T.ie Matchmaker," was a member of the 1918 production., Although Booth Taikington was a playwright for many years, he never adapted "Seventeen" for the stage himself. The first musical version annared in 1926. and was called "Hello, tola," referring to Lola Pratt, the blonde, baby-talking vamp who devastates the 17 year old male population in the town she visits for the summer. For the most recent version, the musical comedy which appeared on Broadway in 1951, and which the Playmakers are presenting this weekend, the adapter of the book is, Sally Benson, famous for her stories of young people, including Meet Me In St. Louis and Junior Miss. . " . ' t Under the direction and chor eography of Thomas M. Patterson and Foster Fitz-Simmons, who are associate . professors in the UNC Dramatic Art Dept. "Seventeen" is the fourth of six productions by the Playmakers this year.

Di Defeats Soil Bank Proposal By MIKE VESTER President Eisenhower's proposal for a farm soil bank was hotly de bated Tuesday night in the Dialec tic Senate and was defeated by a vote of 3 to -5 among Senators, but passed 8 to 6 among Senators and guests. Sen. Pat Adams introduced the bill calling for the abolition of price supports and the institution of the soil bank plan. Adams said former President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the "so-called saviour of America" could have made any one prosperous with the handouts that he passed out. Adams said one of the plan's strongest points was the fact it got to the basis of the problem by cutting down actual production of farm commodities. COMPROMISE Sen. Steve Moss pointed out the soil bank idea is only a com promise between the hated farm supports and the presently im possible idea of removing supports completely; but said a compromise is the only thing possible in such a difficult situation. He further said, "if the charge of the Democrats that many small farmers are being forced off the farms now due to Republican farm policy is true, then the Republir cans are indeed to be thanked (See DI, page 4.) 4 t Goodman, D IXOfl e: Fh ornpson Three senior coeds were tapped this morning for mem bership in The Valkyries, highest women's honorary on the campus. They are Misses Jeannine Thompson, Mooresville; Helen Pat terson Dixon, Richmond, Va., and Jackie Goodman, Norfolk, Va. Tapping came in secret pre dawn ceremonies this (Thursday) mor ning. Founded here in 1941, The Val kyries replaced Alpha Kappa Gam ma, national honorary society, and corresponds to the highest local men's honorary society, the Order of the Golden Fleece. Membership, limited to two per cent of the coed enrollment is based on character, leadership, scholarship and service to the cam pus. Miss Goodman, said the Valky ries, is "a valuable member of The Daily Tar Heel staff, one whose capabilities were vital in this area of campus life . . . guar dian of the principles of journal istic truth, accurate reporter whose insight is reflected in her aware ness of campus problems and whose energy is constantly reveal ed in her contributions and res ponsible work." Miss Dixon was hailed as "one whose constructive interest is evi denced within several organiza tions. . . a leader whose responsi bility begins with definite action, whose convictions demand respect and whose Influence and concern are felt and needed in areas de pendent upon student initativc." Miss Thompson is "an active participant in student church work, a contributor to the better ment of dormitory administration, one whose devotion to the stu dents' interest is constantly felt and whose activity is motivated by the ideals of deep commitment." Business- Arts I alii c Set I oniglr! Four UNC professors will lead an informal discussion tonight on "Undergraduate Education as Pre paration for a Business Career" at 8 o'clock in the Main Lounge of Graham Memorial. Drs. G. A.

Wells of the Col lege of Arts -and Sciences will head the discussion, according to John Raper and Juan West, co chairmen of the Student-Faculty Forum Committee of GMAB, which will sponsor the event. "The program should be of spe cial interest to all undergraduates who are interested in business ca reers," Raper said. Two of the professors will pro bably take the view that four years in Arts and Sciences is better pre paration for a business career, whereas the other two are expect ed to contend that two years in the General College and two years m Business Administration arc bel ter, according to Raper.
