The, third number of the Carolina
Play Book of the Carolina, Playmakers
and the Carolina Dramatic Associa
tion falls below the standard of
quality set in the tworpfeceeding num
bers. The bool is published at the
University four times a year and is
edited by Frederick Koch, director of
the Playmakers. , "y. '
The news element prevails through
out the current issue, and there is a
scarcity of dramatic material. The
only article relating to a discussion of
drama is" Montrose J. Moses' Shake
speare A La Mode and. Mood. The
author, describes the endeavors of the
numerous ; . producers to interpret
Shakespeare in every possible manner
. and to tend toward a renovation of his
plays. He tells of the battle being
waged between our mode, and Shake
speare's moocT. As a" whole the article
is delightful reading."- .:'
. Our Carolina Stage t the first section
in the book, is solely news matter,
There is a story of the tenth anniver
sary of .the Playmakers, an.ann ounce
ris has been appointed State Repre
sentative of the j Bureau of Com
munity Drama, ' a story of the Hopi
. Indians visiting Carolina, a paragraph
telling that Lighted Candles is pres
ented later in the issue,, and an article
on Ellen Terry's death. -
An article by J.. Brooks Atkinson,
dramatic critic of the New York
Times, is reprinted from the Times.
The piece tells of the Little Theatre
Movement in the South and the work
of the Carolina Playmakers. Mr. At
kinson stresses the work of Koch,
Heffner, Selderi, and Green, all of the
University faculty.
The following article; The Bureau
of Community Drama, is an account
of the activities and services of the
Bureau which are available to all
schools, colleges and communities
. throughout this state.
o
The Play Book presents Lighted
Candles, a play by Margaret Bland,
formerly of the Playmakers. Miss
Bland' has written a number of plays
which have received favorable com
ment". Lighted Candles was produced
by the Playmakers in February of
this year.
There are; a number of tailpieces
placed at the end of 4;he articles
'which add to the make-up of the book.
. A lesser amount of the news element
and more articles pertaining to the
drama would have added interest to
the publication.
Philip R. Whitley, . of Wendell, was
elected vice-president of ' the third
year law class at a meeting held last
week. The election was held to fill a
vacancy caused when the vice-president,
'elected last spring,-failed to re
turn to school. , ''
The officers of the third year class
are automatically the officers of the
Law Club Association, the organiza
tion composed of members of the en
tire, school. It is the Law Club Asso-r
ciation which sponsors the speeches
made by 'prominent attorneys of the
state in an effort to bring the student
into closer relation with the actual
practice of the profession. ' -
Whitley .will become , president of
the Association in January when R.
T. Giles, who is now . president, will

- The March of Progress
Seven planes brought football fans
to the Tech game last Saturday, in
cluding one large six-passenger Fok
ker. Arrangements were made for
landing at the Chapel Hill Airport.'
We are not sure if this is the-first
time such means of transportation to
football games has been used, but cer
tainly it is the- first time in the
South.1 We're right up with - the
times. ! Someone' ought' to point out
to Colonel Lindbergh, who; seems in
terested in such matters, that U.N.C.
has been air-minded for some timer
Take, for instance, our flying tackles
in the vicinity of Kenan Stadium, the
flights, of fancy of some of our cam
pus writers, and the air-pockets, gen
erally hot, , into which we sometimes
get in the classes of some profs.
We Step Out ?
The new dress of the Tar Heel has
occasioned some f avorable comment.
Scareheads are not always necessary
nor are' they used, but a change in
the type of heads does, and has, im
proved the; paper. The chief effect of
the innovation, however, is not in
the appearance so much as in the in
terest aroused on the campus. The
time seems ripe for a discussion of
the proposed change of this . paper
from a tri-weekly to a daily, as set
forth in an editorial on this page. A
Saturday literary supplement would
augment the general usefulness of
the paper and take care of the Maga
zine, which at present needs some re
viving injfluence. The addition Of
national as well as local news-to the
columns of the campus journal should
prove of incalculable, benefit. It 'is
all a question of student interest. If
there is a desire f on the campus for
a really worth-while paper, on .a par
with the best produced by , the big
Universities of the country, then the
effort will be mad-tq put out that
kind of a representative college journ
al for this University But nothing
can be done without student backing,
and that, comes only through student
interest. " ' .
The Big Story
"Playmakers," said a Tar ", Heel
headline, "Come Into .Great National
Prominence." Many a Broadway pro
ducer would give his right hand for
such a laudatory comment in any pa
per:' But the Playmakers, through
Professor Koch, believe in playing
safe, and so the perhapses, and buts,
and maybes, were added. All of
which evidences enthusiasm for a
home institution, somewhat unusual
on the campus, and commendable care
and regard f 6r the ttuth on the. part
of the Theatre. Congratulations all
'round seem in order. Arid it was, in
cidentally, a good story, no whit
spoiled by the subsequent develop
ment. v
Kindly Notice
A benevolent sign in the Library
reads, "Students' and .scholars are re
quested not to take these pamphlets
from the room."' The distinction be
tween student and scholar so care
fully made should please all . parties.
The, difference seems to ..be that a
scholar wears a pair of horn-rimmed
glasses, whereas the -student wears
a blank .expression. Ask any Gradu-i
ate Stud excuse, ; please any Grad
uate Scholar if -such is riotthe case.
Hallelujah, We Must Be Bums
Not so lorig ago three-members of
the Salvation Army appeared m
Chapel Hill "oh a Saturday night and
hekTa meeting right out on Franklin
.Street in the very stronghold of the
Devil. The point of the matter is
that they have not again appeared.
We are wondering whether enough of
us we're saved to make ;a return un
necessary, whether there was found
to be no need for salvation ' among
students in the first place, or-whether
we , are too hopeless to bother again.
Brethren, examine thy selves for the
answer.'" Personally, we'll be at the
game. ' ;
College Comics
The latest issue of the Buccaneer
failed, to excite any members of the
faculty. " Dean Hibbard observed but
kept his peace,' and .the columns of
the Campus Mind remained unused
and printed on the usual paper, in
stead of an asbestos substitute Edi
tor Perry seems to have gotten out
a "hot" issue, but the world continues
to revolve in its accustomed orbit.
The only appreciable stir was at the
window of the Post Office on the day
of publication, when a long line form
ed to send-: the magazines to- well,
where it would do the most good,and
let her know one was thinking of her.
Our suggestion is that a nic, quiet,
clean issue be made up, and the re
sultant furor from . indignant sub
scribers be made the contents of the
succeeding issue. -

The two talked and talked. ; Final
ly, the old grad's eyes filled with tears
as the student told him what awfully
vile liquor was being delivered into
Chapel Hilll today. ,-.
' "I, must go back, I must go back,
he sobbed. "I owe it to the boys. I'll
move my speakeasy right down to
Chapel Hill and start an open house
day of free drinks." -
So the student came back to the
Hill, hired a good room on main street
made other "arrangements, spread the
glad tidings among the boys,; and was
on the verge of wiring the ; Bostonian
alumnus to come on with his speak
easy, when a law-student friend of his
told him about this dastardly, five
mile law. . - . r. - .'; "
Sorrowfully he, sent the telegram
saying that the place Ivould have to
be located fiv'emiles from 'the. Univer
sity, T.he blow was too much." The
Boston boot-legger alumnus, realizing
that his last chance to do good for his
alma mater was gone, died a broken
hearted man. .

Dr. George McKie who visited at the
British colleges in 1925-26, are very
informal in speech, and do not hesi
tate to overlap the speeches of their
colleagues. ' They are generally, ma
turer than the American debaters and
by the time they reach this country
they have successfully defended their
convictions dozens of times, and con
sequently, are able to play with their
opponents, injecting considerable wit
into the discussion at the expense of
the other side. : '
The samer system of judging the
contest as that introduced here last
year will be jtried again this f alL
Every one that intends to follow the
entire course tof the debate will be
asked at the beginning of the evening
to. check his conviction on the sub
ject to be discussed on a ballot of one
color. " Following the conclusion . of
the argument a ballot of .another color
