Barry Comedy, 'Holiday,’to Be Final ’33 Show — Third Thalian-Blackfriars Play of Year Will Be Offered May 18 and 19 "Holiday,” comedy by Philip Bar ry, will be the third and final Thal ian-Blackfriars production of the year, Prof. Edward C. Crouse, direc tor of the University players, an nounced Thursday. The play will be staged on Thursday and Friday, May 18 and 19, in Seney-Stovall Memorial theater. The selection of “Holiday” was made in preference to “Berkeley Square” and "Death Takes a Holi day” after tryouts last week because a “perfectly suited” cast was found for the Barry comedy, according to Mr. Crouse. Earlier attempts to fill the roles in “Holiday” were not suc cessful, and until last week efforts to produce it had been abandoned, fast Is Announced Eleven students, six of whom have not appeared before on the Univer sity stage, will be in the cast of the new play. They are: Joe Vinson, Blakely; Lewis Stephens, Atlanta; Hardy Ulm, Washington, D. C.; Lil lian Forbes, Athens; Hamilton Lo- key, Atlanta; Mildred Toasley, Ath ens; John W. Taliaferro, Atlanta; Altha Hammann, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Harold Martin, Commerce; Sidney Hunt, Athens; Jeanne Lyons, Manila, P. I.; Morgan Goodhart, Adairsville, and Sam Carr, Augusta. "Holiday” is the best-known and most successful of the comedies by Barry, whose most recent play, "The Animal Kingdom,” was acclaimed in Athens as one of the finest talking pictures yet produced. “Holiday” ran, for a year on Broadway during the season 1929-30 and was later produced as a movie with Ann Hard ing, Mary Astor, Robert Ames, and Edward Everett Horton in the cast. Serious Theme Essentially a comedy with lines reminiscent of Noel Coward’s “Hay Fever” and of “The Animal King dom,” the play has also a serious undercurrent in its theme. It is the story of a young man who is engaged to a girl of great wealth and social standing. But he refuses to "make good" with her father, preferring to (Continued on page 8) President Calls Meeting Of Provisional Members Provisional members of the Tha lian-Blackfriars Dramatic club will meet Tuesday night in Seney-Stovall Memorial theater on Lucy Cobb cam pus, Tom Dozier, Athens, president, has announced. The last meeting was called off because of conflicting University activities. The program which was to have been presented at the last meeting will be presented Tuesday. It will include a dance by Florence Han cock, Cartersville, and musical and dramatic numbers by members of the club. Plans for the Thalian-Blackfriars last production of the year, “Holi day,” May 18 and 19, will be dis cussed. Invitations Offered At Reduced Prices Senior invitations are being offered this year at greatly re duced prices by Delmar Thomp son, president of the senior class, who urges that all seniors place their orders Immediately so that the invitations will be received in sufficient time for mailing several weeks before June 5, graduation day. Last year senior invitations were sold for 75 cents, leather bound booklets, and 40 cents, cardboard bound booklets. The prices for the invitations now on display in the “Y” rooms sell for 35 cents, leather, and 20 cents, cardboard. Thompson is taking orders at No. 1, Old College. National Musicians Being Sought After For Spring Dances Selection to Be Made From Bernie, Lombardo, Garber, And Lyman Orchestras Four orchestras—Ben Bernie, Guy Lombardo, Jan Garber, and Abe Ly man—are being considered for the Pan-Hellenic dances, which are to be held April 28 and 29. The selec tion is to be made from this group, according to a decision made by the Pan-Hellenic council meeting with President S. V. Sanford and other faculty members Monday afternoon. President Sanford declared at the meeting that he would not place his sanction on any orchestra that might be secured for the dance unless it was well known and generally ac ceptable to the student body. Under the plan each fraternity man is to be assessed $4 for the three dances with an additional charge of $1.50 for the Saturday night dance. Fraternity men not desiring to attend the dances can sell their tickets prior to the dance or return the ticketB to be sold at the dance; the money will be re funded. Campus men desiring to secure tickets before the dance can do so at a lower cost than the general pub lic but at a slightly higher cost than fraternity men. There is only a slim chance that Guy Lombardo will be available for the dances due to the large sum re quired to secure the orchestra and also due to the limited amount of time for negotiations, according to Billy Hazlehurst, Macon, president of the council. A top price of $1,600 has been of fered Lombardo and a reply to the offer is expected this week. It is expected, however, that Lombardo will refuse this offer as his usual price is in the neighborhood of $2,500. “The personal preference if Lom bardo cannot be obtained,” declared Hazlehurst, “is Jan Garber.” The main decision of the council and President Sanford is that the University wil have a good orches tra this year for the spring dances. During the week-end of the dances (Continued on page 8) Chapel Organ, Third Largest in Section, Will Produce Volume Audible at Costa 9 s By Frank D. Parker The pipe organ in the University chapel is the third largest in the South, the others being located in the First Methodist church of Rich mond. Va., and the Second Baptist church, of Little Rock, Ark. It can produce enough volume, when cou pled together, for a company of sol diers to catch the strains of the march at Costa's and march past Herty field. It has 26 times tne mechanism that the Mammoth Molar organ, of which the Fox theater boasts, and has over 10,000 Integral parts to each of its three organs. It costs the University approximately $1.07 cents an hour while in opera tion, and can imitate practically every musical instrument, together with the harp and chimes. Mr. W. S. Burke, son of the build er, was at the University a few weeks ago tuning and repairing the organ, and after finding several dead notes he Investigated and found them clogged up by dead bats and pigeons' eggs. The trustees of the University pur chased the organ at a total coBt of $13,000 and it was installed in the summer of 1929, taking over three months in construction. It was purchased through the Mary Jett Franklin fund, which was left the University by the late Miss Franklin. She was a native of Ath ens, and spent many years in Paris studying art under celebrated French painters. Many of the paintings were exhibited in the French art salon, then located in the famous Louvre. The University possesses two of her paintings, in the form of portraits of the late Chancellor Barrow, which hangs in Dean Hendren’s office, and the late Dr. Sylvanus Morris, which hangs in the corridor of Harold (Continued on page 2) Two Holidays Given Students During Easter Dean Announces Vacation Period as Suggested by f X’ Club to President Sanford All University classes will be sus pended Good Friday and Saturday, April 14 and 15, according to Dean L. L. Hendren. Holiday rules will be in effect, making any student ab sent two days before or two days after the holiday period liable to a fine of $3 for one day and $6 for two days absence. The “X” club, service organization, last week petitioned President S. V. Sanford for the two holidays, and the proposal met with his endorse ment. The faculty sanctioned the vacation period Monday. To make up the class work missed during the suspension of clases, all morning classes will be held each day of the week, except April 14 and 16, for the weeks of April 10 to 15 and April 17 to 22, according to the dean’s announcement. This will ap ply to both Junior and senior college classes. Dean Hendren’s statement in full follows: “All classes at the University will be suspended for the Easter week end Friday and Saturday, April 14 and 15. Under the holiday rule any students incurring any absences two days before and two days after the holiday period will be assessed a fine of $3 for absences on one of these days and $6 for absences on two days. “In order to make up work missed because of these and other necessary suspensions of work, all morning (Continued on page 8) University Session Of Summer School Opens on June 12 Georgia’s Summer school will open its thirty-first session on June 12.

Petitions circulated through out the student body by mid night lost night showed the trend of student sentiment to be strongly in favor of the spe cial “beer session,” but strong opposition centered in a group called the University of Geor gia Good Government league, and was expected to increase as the signatures of women stu dents today were expected to oppose beer. Copies of both pe titions will be available for stu dent signatures at posts in front of Academic building today. 211 Students Make Dean’s List During Preceeding (Quarter Average 87 is Necessury for Recognition; Number liigh- i ^er Than First Term Two hundred and eleven students have made the Dean’s List for the winter quarter.

McConnell, of the Methodist Epis copal church. New York city, in his opening address before the Ninth An nual Religious Welfare conference, Wednesday morning in Woodruf* hall. "Instead of scolding and criticise ing the actions of men the church must listen to the needs of its mem bers and be able to give a word of advice. It must be able to under stand the motives that make its members do as they do, find out the reasons for attitudes assumed by its members, and seek to rectify the causes for the elements that cause these attitudes.” "Vision of God” and “Service” "The natives of India are unable to understand how Christians can recognize a Vision of God as one part of their religion, and the idea of service for their fellow men on the other hand; the two ideas are incompatible for their comprehen sion,” ho said. Bishop McConnell was presented by Dr. S. V. Sanford, who presided over the morning session of the con ference. The invocation was pro nounced by the Rev. Lester Rumble, of the First Methodist church of Athens. Music was provided by the University band under the direction or Mr. Mike McDowell, associate pro fessor of music.

It must start with the intelligent group and must (Continued on page 7) Oratory Book I’ul>liHh4‘d By Univ4T8ily I’rofeNHor “Georgia Oratory," a book con taining selections from famous Geor gians, has Just been published by Prof. J.

(Continued on page 7) Turner Offers Education as Solution to Sex Problem in Speech at Freshman f Y ! Head of Stock Exchange To Talk Before Students Mr. Cameron Beck, personnel di rector of the New York Stock ex change, will address the faculty and student body of the University in the chapel, Wednesday at 11:20 a. m. on the subject “The Career Fac ing a College Graduate.” Mr. Beck has been associated with the New York stock exchange for the past 12 years. During the course of his connection with this organization he has interviewed over 15,000 persons annually. He is Just completing an extensive tour of the southern states, having spoken at all the large colleges and universities throughout thiB section of the country. Mr, E. A. Lowe, director of pub lic relations, will introduce Mr. Beck. "Education must be relied upon as the chief solution of the problem of sex. The family, the school, the college and the university must all contribute to that finer civilization which will regard sex as a dynamic attribute of life, to be guided, util ized, and cherished ” So stated Prof. C. D. Turner, Instructor of zoology, in an address on the “Biology of Sex” at the regular meeting of the freshman Y. M. C. A. last Tuesday night. "Let us remember,” Dr. Turner said, "that all human powers should be used, that they may be wasted in a variety of trivial and unsatisfying ecapades, or they may be conserved for a single worthy purpose. We all have a more or less fixed amount of energy at our disposal. Dissipating some of it leaves less to be utilized in the fulfillment of life’s supreme enterprises.” He expressed the opinion that there Is no more subtle or delusive problem than that of sex—the reason being that the physical and psychic are so closely tied up together. Ho also expressed belief that there seems to he a more general departure from traditional standards of sex behavior than has been witnessed in previous generations. "We are faced with the alternative of educating children and young adults as to the scientific and esthetic control of sex behavior, or leaving them to pick up such information as best they can from pseudo-science and popular misconceptions.” “I think,” Dr. Turner concluded, ”we should do our part to raise the problem of sex out of the cesspool of vulgarity and obscenity. We might do well to remember that a person will hardly appreciate a sym phony while his musical taste func tions at the Jazz level.”
