Prominent Faculty Playmaker Returns
Returning to the campus after a
year's absence, Kai Jurgensen, new
faculty member of The Carolina Play
makers, finds himself involved once
again in the whirlpool of dramatic
activity which surrounds all Playmak
er work.
As the director of Thornton Wilder's
allegorical tribute to the indestructi
bility of Mankind, "The Skin of Our
Teeth," Mr. Jurgensen has to stage the
history of man from the Ice Age to
the present. That's a job in itself, es
pecially 'when it entails casting 36
roles, including mamoths, dinosaurs,
Moses, Homer, and the three Muses.
Kai Heiberg-Jurgensen was born in
Copenhagen, Denmark. Coming to this
country when he was 16, he lived with
. an aunt in Missoula, Montana. Here he
attended the University of Montana
and majored in English literature, re
ceiving his A. B. degree in 1937. While
there Jurgensen was student manager
of the' University Theatre for two
years and did acting, directing and
technical work with the Montana Mas
quers. . )
Returning to Denmark in 1937 for
further study, Jurgensen became as
sociated with the Royal Theatre in Co
penhagen as an actor and student. He
studied with such well-known Scandi
navian actors as Johannes Poulsen,
Paul Reiimert, Albert Luther, and
Carlo Veidt. Jurgensen also directed
several plays at the University of Co
penhagen's theatre organization, "The
Student Scene." His years spent in
America proved a distinct disadvan
tage, however. Trying to enter the
Royal Academy of Acting, he was re
fused. They claimed he spoke Danish
with a foreign accent.
In June of 1939 Jurgensen returned

materials urgently needed at the fronts and personal pack
ages. For that reason our Government has requested that
all civilian Christmas packages be sent before Dec. 1st.
So we of Railway Express ask you to help us (and
yourselves too) by doing these three simple things, in
addition to shopping early:
1. Send your gifts before Dec. 1st. Laundry can
keep to its regular schedule. When packages are
ready to go, phone the Railway Express agent.
2. Wrap your packages carefully and securely.
3. Address them clearly, with your own and their
recipient's name, street number, city and state.

Made a Graduate Assistant to the
late Dr. Koch in 1942-43, Jurgensen de
voted his energies to the composition of
his M. A. thesis play "Down to the
Sea," which was produced by the Play

notable success. For this accomplish
ment he was awarded the Roland Holt

honor conferred by The Carolina Play
makers. He also received his M. A. de

Shore cops top billing in popular
ity. So you'll all be glad to know
that many of her old all-time favor
ites are being re-released so that
you can fill in the holes in your col
lection of her recordings.
Miny of the excellent (records
made by thes original Artie Shaw
band, "Carioca," "Lover Come Back
To Me," "Pastel Blue," "Octoroon,"
and others, are included in this list
which will make any collector's
dreams come true. And, by the way,
have you heard about the newly or

outfit similar to that of "Begin the

For leisure listening "pleasure on
some Sunday afternoon or in a few
spare minutes when you can find a
workable record player in some se
cluded corner, here are some recent
releases in the classical vein which
you might enjoy.
Two works by English composer
Frederick Delius have been recorded
recently adding greater impetus to
his steadily growing fame. One side
of the record holds "La Calinda"
from the opera "Koanga," which is
based on Negro" themes Delius picked
up in Florida. The excerpt is de
riven from a popular Creole dance
of Cuban origin: On the reverse
you'll find . "Intermezzo and Seren
ade" from the composer's inciden
tal music for Flecker's "Hassan."
This is a richly orchestrated sample
of the composer's more mature
style.
For the true lover of classics mu
sic Hans Kindler, maestro of the
National Symphony Orchestra in
Washington, has made and recorded
a compelling arrangement of two
movements from Handel's Concerto
Grosso No. 5, Op. 3, for full sym
phony orchestra, with sonorous re
sults. Typical of the comments about
the recent release of Rachmani
noff's Concerto No. 4, as played by
the composer with the Philadelphia
Orchestra under Ormandy, is that
made by Henry Simon of PM: "It
is played and recorded so well that it
will probably never have to be re
corded again." Get this one and hear
for yourself.
With these records to start with
here's to better listening and danc
ing pleasure on and around the cam
pus sweet, swing, or low-down jive.
Cuban Student Says Ice Cream
And Marines Are Tempting
By Nancy C. Kennickell
Mercedes Chavez, M. D., of the Fin-
ley Institute and assistant at the ca
thedra of bacteriology in the Univer
sity of Havana, Cuba, is spending a
year at the University of North Car
olina taking courses in bacteriology in
the school of public health.
Dr. Chavez came to the university
in June, and she said as so many for
eign students do, "After the Univer
sity of Havana, I could not conceive of
a university being so spacious." Un
like Havana's closely joined buildings
and small campus, the University's
large campus was an unexpected pleas
ure. She enjoys her morning walk
from Kenan dormitory to the medical
building, however she admits that her
first week on the campus she thought
it was so far that she took a taxi every
morning.
This being her first trip to the Uni
ted States, Mercedes constantly re
marks how different it all seems.
"When I attended the University of
Havana, I stayed at home with my
parents; there are no dormitories at
the university and my college life ap
peared to be merely a continuation of
high school." In comparing our domes
tic and social freedoms to those of her
own country, Dr. Chavez said, "Young
women of good families are not privi
leged to appear in public with men un
chaperoned without forfeiting their
social prestige." She smiled f as she
told of an incident that occured her

first week in Chapel Hill upon her
arrival at Kenan dormitory. She was
invited to attend a country club dance
by a marine on campus. "I would love
to go with you," she said, "But first
let me ask my house mother." Her
marine escort insisted it was not nec
essary jbut she was convinced only
when her house mother gave her per
mission to go.
In comparing the University of
Havana to the University of North
Carolina, Mercedes mentioned that
while the courses here run for four
months, students at the University of
Havana take a course for the entire
year.
Asked what she liked best about
Carolina she had to puse a moment
"I don't know, I like so much about it.
I enjoy my work, the friendly atmos
phere of Carolina, the marines and the
delicious American ice cream. That
is one thing that Cuba does not have."
Carolina has always been a campus
with many foreign personalities and
Mercedes was pleasantly surprised to
find Cuban friends matriculating
here also.
Dr. Chavez has a fellowship with
the Pan-American Sanitary Bureau
of Washington, D. C, to study here
at the University for one year, she
hopes however to have her stay ex
tended. After completing her studies here,
she plans to return to the Finley In
stitute in Havana.
IRC Will Discuss
Polish Question
Marking the fourth in its present
series, the International Relations club
will present a forum on the highly in
flammable subject of the Polish-Russian
dispute Tuesday, November 13, in
the Graham Memorial lounge at 8 p.m.
' Dean F. F. Bradshaw, acting as
moderator, will attempt to keep the
battle a verbal one when "experts" Dr.
E. E. Ericson, of the English depart
ment; Dr. Helmut Kuhn, philosophy
professor; Dr. L. C. MacKinney, his
tory professor; and Dr. E. J. Wood
house, of the political science depart
ment, mount the rostrum to air their
viewpoints.
To lay the foundation for the dis
cussion MacKinney will review the
historical background of the disagree
ment. Upholding the Russian conten
tion that the ( olish border be drawn
along the Curzon line, Ericson, a fre
quent speaker on the IRC presenta
tions, will present the Russion view
point; while Woodhouse will air the
Polish attitude. Bringing into play
his philosophic background, Kuhn will
wind up the forum with an analysis of
the ethical questions involved.
