PLAY COriffillTTEE PICKS FIRST BILL Select "Get Up and Bar the Door," "Cloey," and "Pop, The Fireman" Following the reading of five one-act plays by , their authors in the Carolina Playmakers' theatre Tuesday night, the play committee consisting of Profes sors A. C. Howell, English Bag by, W. E. Caldwell, George Mc Kie, M. T. Van Hecke, and Dr. A. S. Lawrence, elected'Get Up and Bar the Door," "Cloey," and "Pop, the Fireman" for the first bill, of the year.

Bar the Door" is a comedy based on the life of the hill folk of Mississippi and writ ten by A. P. Hudson last spring in Professor Koch's play writing course. "Cloey" is another of Loretto Carroll Bailey's contri butions. But Loretto has made her characters satisfied with life this time. In fact she has made 'Katherine' a man-tamer. "Pop, the Fireman," or "Samuel Hin ckle, Fireman," by Joseph Fox may be a good comedy of ' New England life. It has possibilities. "Desert Shadow," a unique and striking play by Laurabelle Dietrich, and "One Fine Day" by Louise Perry have been re served for revision and try-out performances in the playwriting and producing classes. Typoscript copies of the plays selected for production will be available in the library . later in the week for the use of students and others who wish to try out for any of these parts. , Try-outs will be held on Monday, October 6 at 4 :30 and 7:30 P.

PRESS HAS PUBLISHED OYER A HUNDRED BOOHS University Publications Deal -With Great Variety of Sub ject Matter; Dr. L. R. Wilson Heads Directors. By Virginia Douglas It seems well now and then to outline for the benefit of the students the history and nature of various university organiza tions. The University of North Carolina Press, well-known enough to the learned world, may need some explanations to the students on the campus. The press was formed in 1922 for the purpose of publishing scholarly works. Dr. Louis R. Wilson was then and is now di rector, but W. T. Couch has been acting head since 1925. As to the rest of the organization, there are a board of governors of ten faculty members and three alumni, a manuscript com mittee and a finance committee. The board of governors is the final authority. The press has published in all over 100 volumes, and averages now from 15 to 20 works a year. It is the .University of North Carolina Press, but it is not avidly and rabidly North Caro linian. It is not a narrow pub lishing house for the benefit of faculty members alone. Indeed, over half the volumes are work of outsiders. Nine of the 16 books on the fall list are by out landers. - - - . If a book can be correctly made in North Carolina, very well, it is. But if for any rea son Belgium or Wisconsin can print a particular manuscript more satisfactorily, Belgium or Wisconsin does it. Or if New York should handle the print ing, New York does. However, most of the work is divided be tween Durham and Raleigh. The press publishes a good many books having to do with social subjects, but it does not restrict itself. It has published everything from text books for adult 'illiterates to- works on Egyptian art. And its markets are as far apart as the North Carolina mountaineers are from the dead Pharoahs. MEETING TONIGHT OF DEBATE SQUAD The first regular meeting of the debate squad will be held to night at 7:30 in Murphey 201. All undergraduates, both men and women, are invited to come out. Attendance at squad meet ings counts a half -course credit. - The meeting tonight will be devoted to organization of the squad, and to an address by Dr. Horace Williams, founder of de bating at Carolina. Dr. Williams will tell something of the history of debating and the value to be derived from forensics. Teachers' Johs For One Hundred Ten According to data compiled by I.. C. Griffin, of the school of education, of 110 graduates and undergraduates who applied for positions, 86 have -been placed by the University. Aside from these, 42 former graduates of the University succeeded in getting jobs through the teach ers' bureau during the summer. From the 83 graduates of the school of education in the class of 1930,. all except three report that they have secured satisfac tory positions.
