Governor Philpott will make brief re marks concerning cultural ex changes between the two coun tries. Jurgensen Directs "Day of Glory" is under the direction of Professor Kai Jur gensen of the. UNC Department of Dramatic Art who also trans lated the play. Jurgensen is a native of Denmark and spent a year teaching in his native country during 1958-59 on a Ful bright grant. Jurgensen points out that the difficulty with most Danish playwriting is that it is intense ly nationalistic, and difficult to translate because of its local coloration. Even the play's title proved to be a problem. In Danish it was "By the Grace of God," which is meaningful to a popu lace long used to monarchy and a "King, by the Grace of God." But this connotation would be almost meaningless to Ameri cans, Jurgensen felt, and . a change was needed. Since the play is a romantic but sardonic joke on kings and emperors set in the locale of the French Revolution, the "Marseillaise" provided the new title: "le . jour de gloire" or "Day of Glory." '. . Tickets for "Day of Glory" are available for Thursday and Sunday evenings at the Play makers Business Office, 214 Abernethy Hair and at Led- better-Pickard's in Chapel Hill. Mr. Borwitzsky's interpreta tion of the Haydn Concerto, which he played with the Berlin Philharmonic under the direc tion of Karl Bohm in 1958, has been compared to that of Casals.

Another week remains before the elections and we hope to keep up the present pace," SP Chairman Swag Grimesley noted yes terday. His complete DTH statement follows: "The Student Party has printed its platform, along with a short request for a vote of confidence on March 21st, and this is being distributed over the campus. All candidates seeking offices this spring on the Student Party ticket are listed. Our platform contains 16 planks, and all were hashed out and approved by the Student Party meeting in regular session. Therefore we are presenting to the students, in writ ing, our promises to be fulfilled when our candiadtes are elected. Read this platform carefully, and hold us to our promises next year. 'Big Four" Slate "Student Party has nomi nated a "Big Four" slate which is well-balanced and working as a unit. Both Bill Harriss and Hank Pattersons, candi dates for President and Vice President of the Student Body respectively, are qualified for the post of President. Both have sufficient experience and possess the necessary qualifi cations to lead this campus in the coming year. With our candidates working together, we are able to present an ex perienced slate of officers to the Student Body. "Our candidate for Secre tary, Mary Townsend, brings forth a leader for the women students on campus. Mary possesses qualifications as good as any secretary in years. Her interest in Student Government has manifested itself in her desire to seek this office and in the manner with which she has taken a very active part in the cam paign. Concrete Proposals "The Student Party's candi dates have outlined two con crete proposals to increase the communication between Stu dent Government and the stu Nikita Khruhchv scholarship, participation in the week's activities and the extra curricular activities of the in dividual pledges on campus. UNC, State Join For N.Y. Journey Want to spend your Easter vacation in New York? Carolina will combine forces with N. C. State to sponsor the Spring United Nations seminar trip to New York.

All students are invited io attend and lo question the candidates after the Di-Phi panel has completed its interrogation. ' 5-Minuie Statement After a five minute staiement by each candidate, Di-Phi President Stan Black and Mary Jean Reid will ask questions. The candidates will have no .-foreknowledge of the queries. Questions by students will begin after the panel , discussion. This will probably be the student body's only opportunity to hear the candidates in a spontaneous discussion of the issues. "The Di-Phi feels that statements in the Daily Tar Heel by each candidate, while useful, do not serve the same pur pose as an open, .debate ior which prepared . statements are useless," Stan Black said. On Assa Am bassador For Louis Armstrong, America's most widely travelled Ambassador Without Portfolio, next month will make his first Chapel Hill appear ance in four years. The world-renowned trumpeter will play in Memorial Hall April 8 for the Spring Germ ans concert, according to Frank Craighill, president of the German Club. The concert will begin at 3 p.m.; there will not be a dance. Armstrong, who has travelled almost every inch of the globe under the aegis of the State Department, did a good bit of travelling before he made the big time. He was born on July 4, 1900, and spent many of his early years in a New Orleans waifs' home., First Break His first big break came when Joe "King" Oliver, a New Orleans jazz pioneer, discovered him and brought him up the Mississippi. In Chicago and New York the fame of the young trumpeter with the gravelly voice spread rap idly. Soon he formed his own bands first the Hot Five an then the Hot Seven and was on his way to success. In the 1930's. Armstrong's fame began to transcend the jazz world. He formed a big band and, with such songs as "Lazy River" and "Sleepy Time Down South," made a national, "reputation for himself. He went abroad and played before kings and queens. Since that time his fame and popularity have increased. He has played in movies, in historic concert halls and in command per formances. He has been associated with such well-known entertainers as Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. His total record sales have zoomed well into the millions. Popular Records Among the most popular Armstrong rec ords are Ambassador Satch, Louis Armstrong Jlays W. .C. Handy, Ella and Louis,. Louis, and the" Angels, Louis Armstrong at Newport and Satchmo Plays Fats. His single recording of "The Boppenpoof Song" was a smash hit. Armstrong is known both for the bell- clear tones he achieves on his trumpet and for the harsh, swinging sound he gets with his vocal cords. He plays a repertoire of old Dixieland standards mixed with songs from some of his movies and recent hits that blend well with his style. No price has been set for tickets as yet, but as usual there will be only a handful available to the campus as a whole. These may be purchased by contacting individual members who do not plan to attend the affair. Th eir Statements UNIVERSITY PARTY University Party Chairman Dennis Rash reviewed the accomplishments of the Gray and Grigg administrations yes terday in response to SP comments. The complete, statement follows: "In the course of the current campaign, several Student Party candidates have questioned the integrity and accom plishments of the present administration. Implications have been made stating that executive action has been lacking in both Charlie Gray's and David Grigg's tenure of office. A look at the respective administration, of each President con clusively proves otherwise. Prestige Awards "In examining the Gray administration, an immediate ex ample of the outstanding prestige gained for our University is the evidence of the Richard ...... Welling Award. This signal honor was awarded to the best Student Government committee of the participating colleges and universities throughout the nation. "The Gray administration initiated the Toronto Ex change Program. This pro gram was designed to afford outstanding student leaders the opportunity to meet at it it it at n x-,. each school and participate in seminars, tours "arid social functions. These examples are indicative of the action: and progress under the , Gray ad ministration. Forward Strides "Under David Grigg, Stu dent Government has also taken significant strides. Work has been initiated to alleviate existing problems and these programs are being diligently pursued. The Campus-wide Entertainment Com mittee is a graphic illustra tion of President Grigg's con cern for the entire student body. This Committee has been established ' to provide high quality entertainment at the lowest possible cost for every student. The establishment of the State Affairs Committee was also begun in the current ad ministration. This Commit tee under the careful direc tion of Davis Young has energetically campaigned throughout the the state for a new student union-undergraduate library and increased faculty salaries, for the Uni versity.
