Legislature's Final
Meeting Considers
Gab Session Issues
Group Proposes To Suggest
Faculty-Student Council
Plan to Administration
By CHARLENE MALONE
The main portion of the discussion
led by Camilla Griffin, chairman, at
Legislature Monday afternoon con-cerned
the suggestions arising from the
Gab Session. This was the final Legis-lature
meeting of the year.
First, the proposed student-faculty
planning council was discussed. It
was suggested, but not definitely de-cided,
that it be composed of one
faculty member and one student from
each of the five departments, its pur-pose
being to straighten out any mu-tual
problems concerning such matters
as grades and cuts. Happy Guion May
moved that "legislature recommend to
Dr. Jackson and other authorities that
a faculty-student planning council be
made next year composed pf five stu-dents
and five teachers." The motion
was carried.
Hilman Thomas suggested that a
marker be included in next year's hand-book
indicating and calling freshmen's
attention to their rules. This sug-gestion
was approved, because it is
felt that freshmen have difficulty in
finding them.
Two recommendations will be offiered
to next year's legislature. One is that
all SGA officers be required to take
a course in parliamentary procedure
at the pre-school conference. The
other is that a uniform system of club
and class bookkeeping be required.
Woody Hewitt asked for discussion
on the immediate repeal of upperclass-
Tui-ii rules pertaining to signed slips
and the daybook. It was agreed that
putting them into effect as soon as
possible this year would serve as an
indicator of their value before next
year. Woody stated this in the form
of a motion, and it was passed. This
will go into effect when the house
presidents receive statements.
Joyce Posson suggested that all class
meetings for the purpose of elections
be required, since the results of some
recent elections have been unsatisfac-tory
to many students due merely to
the small attendance. Woody Hewitt.
Jane Linville, Ruth Royal, and Bobbee
Latham disputed the suggestion, feel-ing
this method adverse to democracy.
Ruth Royal raised the question of
who could grant the Elections Board
the power to make the regulation that
the ballot box must be attended from
9 a. m. to 5 p. m. on election days.
Can we do less for the peace?
The creation this week of a Post-War Action Division of the "War
Service League is to our way of thinking the most important step
that has been taken on our campus this year. This action is a direct
and immediate result of the Permanent Conference of Southern Stu-dents
set up at Chapel Hill last week-end by delegates from some
fifty colleges as far south as Alabama and Texas.
It is our feeling that the response of the students of Woman's
College to the action taken by the War Service League will be some-thing
like this: "It's just what we've been needing. Now we can
do something about everything!" We think there has been on this
campus a constantly growing feeling of concern, heightened to a
new intensity by the untimely death of President Roosevelt, ahout
what we can do to help guarantee that the suffering of this war shall
not have been in vain, that this time the United States will do its
part in establishing a permanent international security and bringing
about a new birth of freedom for the people of the world.
As individuals we have felt, either vaguely or deeply, the need
for participation in work for world peace. As a group of students,
as a college, we have not managed to find the proper channels. The
Y.W.C.A. in its recent conference on public affairs has demonstrated
its interest in the problems of peace. Some few weeks ago this spring
the IRC heard a student speak on the need for organizing a national
students' political union to provide machinery for recording our reso-lutions
for the attention of Congress.
Other groups have likewise pondered. But their membership has
been limited and most of the campus has not taken part in their
programs. What so remarkably fits the War Service League for the
purpose of directing post-war action are its campuswide member-ship,
its thoroughgoing organization from project heads on down
to floor leaders, and the recognized success of its active program
this year.
This record of achievement will significantly contribute" to a whole-hearted
participation in the activities planned by the Post-War Action
Division: discussions, distribution of information, vote of the student
body as to its stand on support of Dumbarton Oaks with modifica-tions.
We on this campus have worked, voluntarily and effectively,
to further the war effort. Can we afford to do less for the peace t
With confidence in the basic willingness of every group and of
every individual at the Woman's College to unite our efforts toward
the establishment of a just and lasting peace, let us go forward from
the outset with the firm determination that these plans shall succeed.
WSL Creates Post-War Division;
Moss Names Spruill League Head
ORD To Give Variety *
Program Boosting
Bond, Stamp Sales
Dorothy Spruill will head the War
Service League next year, it is an-nounced
by Sarah Moss, incoming
student government president.
This year Spruill was in charge of
campus conservation for the WSL,
head of music on the Y cabinet, and
served on the dance committee for the
Cornelian formal. In pust years she
has been president of a freshman Y
group, on the business staff of Coraddi,
in the glee club, and on the Y cabinet.
Spruill, when asked about her plans
for next year, said: "Well, this thing
is going from one Dot to another; and
if I can do half the job Dotty Arnett
has done this year, things will be
tine." She continued further, "I hope
we can enlarge the Service League
activities, and do a lot toward post-war
planning."
Variety Show
The ORD Variety Show will be
held April 20 in Aycock Auditorium
at 8 p.m. instead of 7:30, as formerly
announced. It will be impossible to
use campus talent in this show since
ORD officials have planned a full
program, but other arrangements still
hold. Students who are up on their
April pledges will be given free tick-ets
by their floor leaders.
This show is planned to boost lag-ging
spring stamp sales. The Ser-vice
League's aim this year has been
to keep stamp sales steady; and with
this in mind, they give free tickets
to those people up on their April
pledges.
7th War Loan Drive
The 7th War Loan Drive bepon on
campus April 15. Between April 15
and May 15, students are asked to
buy $1 in war stamps beyond their
regular pledges. For the dormitory
that subscribes 100 per cent first,
there will be a prize of $*>, and the
dormitory in second place will receive
$4. This money will be donated to
the Chapel Fund in the hall's name.
Taper sales to date have enabled
the conservation committee to purchase
a fifth bond for the Chapel Fund,
Dot Spruill, head of conservation, an-nounces.
Judicial Board Abandons
Traditional Black Robes
Inaugurating a new and much-dis-cussed,
policy. Judicial Board has ap-peared
for the last three weeks minus
the traditional black robes. The decision
to eliminate the robes, which was ad-vocated
by a majority of Judy Board
members, will remain in effect for the
remainder of the present board's ses-sion.
Whether it is kept will depend
on the approval of "«ext year's Judy
Board.
Another innovation, also subject to
approval of the new Judicial Board, is
placing the defendant's chair at the side
rather than within the horseshoe.
Dot Spruill...

next year, who will act as coordinator
for the various war-time activities on

Barbara Sutlive Takes
Leading Role in May 12
Playliker Production
Mr. W. R. Taylor Directs
The Cradle Song,' Also
For Commencement Play
The lead role of Sister Joanna of
the Cross will be portrayed by Bar-bara
Sutlive in The Cradle Song, a
play by Gregorio and Maria Martinez
Sierra, which will be presented by
the Playlikers May 12 in Aycock Audi-torium.
Mr. W. Raymond Taylor of
the department of English will direct.
Other characters will be Teresa,
Barbara Bramble Chandler; the Pri-oress,
Florabel Hazelman; Vicaress,
Roberta Barnett; Mistress of Novices,
Lorena Gaddy; Sister Marcella, Fran-ces
Vance; Sister Maria Jesus, Mil-dred
R. Rodgers; Sister Sagrario,
Bernice Wechsler; Sister Inez, Jane
Anderson; and Sister Tornera, Jane
Street. The parts of the doctor, An-tonio,
the poet, and a countryman
have not yet been assigned.
Opening with a scene of life in a
convent, the play is concerned with
four young novices whose gaiety is
irrepressible, despite attempts of the
five older nuns to maintain a rever-ent
tone in keeping with the religious
setting. The play centers around Sis-ter
Joanna of the Cross, one of the
novices, who misses her six little
brothers and sisters and is delighted
to become a second mother to the
foundling left at the convent door.
Through the help of Don Jose, the
doctor, who agrees to adopt the baby
Teresa, the nuns are able to keep
and raise her.
In the second act after a poetic
interlude, Teresa grows up and falls
in love with Antonio. Most of this
act deals with the preparations for
her departure on her wedding trip
and the sadness of the nuns at being
separated from the child who has
lived with them and given them so
much happiness. There is a farewell
scene between Teresa and Sister Jo-anna
of the Cross, who devoted 18
years <ot her life to raising the girl
and whom Teresa likes to consider
her real mother. Antonio takes Te-resa
with him to America where he
is to be the residence director of a
firm of architects. The nuns, sad-dened
by the loss of Teresa, return
to their devotions in the usual man-ner.

Marie Belk Will Direct
Discussions of Plans
For World of Future
By LIBBY BASS
Plans for adding a new division to
the War Service League, known as
Post-War Action, are under way, an-nounces
Dot Arnett, head. Marie Belk
will head this phase of the Service
League in conjunction with Zoe Sweek-er,
head of IRC planning for campus
consideration of peace organizations,
and the Y.W.C.A.
Action was stimulated by a meeting
of the Conference of Southern Students
held in Chapel Hill Sunday, April 15.
At this meeting two delegates were
elected to the San Francisco Peace Con-ference
to represent Southern student
opinion. It is hoped they will meet at
various times with regular delegates to
discuss peace measures.
Immediate plans of the War Service
League, Belk explains, include inform-ing
students more fully of the Dum-barton
Oaks proposals. In connection
with this, house meetings will be held
in every dormitory next Monday night
to get student opinions and hear any
discussion. There will be a vote taken
at these meetings as to whether or not
students wish to support the resolution
adopted in Chapel Hill- to back the
Dumbarton Oaks proposals with modi-fications.
Eight hundred pamphlets
explaining the proposals have been
ordered by the Y for campus-wide dis-tribution
by the Service League.
Discussions on peace organization
have already been held by both IRC
and Y groups. The new organization
has the value of being campus-wide in
contact and is designed to make student
opinion more effective nationally by
participation In the San Francisco con-ference
through the Conference of
Southern Students and by pressure on
Congress through telegrams and letters.
Students' Delegates
Go To San Francisco
Chapel Hill Conference Sets
Up Permanent Organization
To Further World Security
At a conference at Chnpel Hill
Sunday afternoon, the permanent Con-ference
of Southern Students in which
nearly every college in the South is
represented was set up. Representing
Woman's College was Zoe Swecker,
IRC member and junior history ma-jor,
and Marie Belk, unofficial dele-gate.
The purpose of Sunday's conference
was to elect two delegates to the San
Francisco World Security Conference
on April 20. Douglass Hunt, of Greens-boro,
was one of those selected.
The permanent conference will take
as its projects the dissemination of
information about world organiza-tion
and the awakening of campus
opinion t° the importance of world
security. They recommended that
other groups be started In other sec-tions
of the country so that the con-ference
may eventually become na-tionwide.
Each college represented at the con-ference
pledged to raise at least $00
to send the delegates to San Fran-cisco.
