The Playmakers
The Carolina Playmakers is primarily student
in personnel, purpose, and activities. Yet it re
mains an organization the greater part of which
is wholly unorganized. The student members
have ho choice but to listen, no alternative but
to obey. Although some sort of hierarchy is
indubitably necessary in an organization which
purports to train, there exists nevertheless a
very real place and need for an organized stu
dent' Playmaker unit.
Among the main benefits to be reaped from
such a body are providing a solid place in the
Playmaker scheme for the individual student and
making possible greater cooperation between the
student members and the heads. At present any
student expression of opinion must come from
individuals and as such because of the very struc
ture of the organization, seems' insignificant.
Hence, the ideal of student freedom of expres
sion is definitely hindered rather than furthered
by this lack of organization. Conversely, the
Playmaker heads, having recourse to only iso
lated opinions in play writing and acting classes,
are subject to making decisions decidedly un
popular to the student Playmaker producing
unit which is required to carry them out. An
organized student group would thus provide a
definite meeting ground for student and faculty
opinion and through this contact would allow
each a check on the other. In this way the
chances for dissatisfaction would be greatly les
sened and an incentive to pull together as a fully
represented organization would be created.
The student organization headed by officers
and, possibly, a steering committee could in
addition take over still more concrete tasks by
way of eliminating problems which recur yearly
in the Playmaker routine. Instead of the pres
ent haphazard method of conducting the annual
Playmaker "Revels" and "Capers" by casting all
responsibility upon the head of some poor over
worked student, the organized body of student
members would logically assume responsibility
for the events. Persistent tartars such as the
question of Yackety Yack representation would
be easily and practically handled. Much needed
rules on the usage of Playmaker sets and prop
erties could be fairly proposed and enforced.
Finally, on such vital points of Playmaker policy
as tours, experimental and public productions,
and the annual state dramatic tournament, the
cooperation and recommendations of an organ
ized, self -controlled student Playmakers would
be invaluable.
Surely the more than half hundred student
Playmakers now on the campus are entitled to
group representation in the planning which di
rectly requires their participation.' Surely a stu
dent group which the heads proudly' declare has
an all-time scholastic average of near Phi Beta
Kappa is capable of forming and conducting a
constructive organization. With the acquisition
of a will to organize and a promise of coopera
tion from Playmaker heads, the student person
nel may well operate to the profit of all con
cerned. E.R.O. -
Lawyers
And the Co-op
Here and there one hears mutterings about the
law school directorate of the Cooperative Dry
Cleaners. From the accusations that we have
chanced to hear it appears that those complain
ing have not had the facts at hand.
The idea of a cooperative dry cleaning plant
had been occupying the minds of several stu
dents for. about.two years before the plant ma
terialized. These students, by. the time the idea
matured, were in the law school. The opening
of the co-op presented a legal problem first of
all that would have beaten down any group that
was not acquainted with the law, so from that
angle it was wise to have law students heading
the plant. When the directors were chosen these
things were not exactly paramount in selecting
the group. It was figured that members were
needed from the dormitory council, the service
rooms, the fraternity group, the interfraternity
managers, and the student body at large. In
this manner the first directors were named, and
it merely happened that they were all in the
law school.
The . muttering has been about the present
method of choosing the directors. First of all
Li T . A V . M -V - - -' -m - . m
me present directors nave done Detter tnan a
good job with the experiment, and there is no
reason for wanting a change at the present. The
remaining debt on the plant will fee dissolved
by the end of the month, which is no smal
achievement for a plant that has given the good
service and reasonable costs that the co-op has.
In further defense of the benevolent fathers'
of the enterprise, it should be stated that they
have been working on a plan of electing directors.
The directors realize that it is out of the ques
tion to allow the 'posts to be elected by the stu
dent body, for the student body has been con
sistent in picking popular rather than able lead
ers. On the other hand the student members
would not stand for an autocratic selection of
directors (which is not without reason either).
It appears that the present directors are likely
to work out a plan of selection which allows the
directors to name their successors subject to
the approval of the members. Any plan that can
satisfactorily solve the problem is welcome, but
we do not believe that criticism is justified un
less there is something better offered. B.C.P.
Out of
Nothing .
Voting for the proposal that the Student coun
cil be given power to decide on all matters of
dispute between student officials, subject to a
referendum of the student body, the latter group
Wednesday turned out 200 strong to pass the
proposition by, an overwhelming count.
The advantages of the proposal as a definite
student policy are obvious enough. It will place
power where power is heeded and advantageously
administered ; it will put an end to the petty
controversies and the larger disagreements aris
ing between student organizations ; it will clearjy
distinguish a single group as the judicial and
legislative body to which all questions of this
nature will be referred. And it will also give
the student body the power and duty to express
its opinions in interpreting the decisions.
But, we ask, what good is the referendum to
a student body which turns but but one-tenth of
its number to ratify its use as a democratic
weapon ? Are not the results of Wednesday's
voting spree ludicrous when we realize that the
students were voting to give themselves the
power of the referendum in order to represent
their opinions and only 200 appeared at the
polls? It diverts from ridiculousness, however,
when we consider the extreme importance of the
first part of the clause purported to establish
a much-needed central power for campus organ
izations.
Wex cannot help remarking, nevertheless, on
the hopelessness of the whole situation. Surely
if a student body has no more interest in dedi
eating to itself the powers of democratic refer
endum, it will hardly rise from its lounging posi
tion to lumber through the polls in order to ex
press itself on an activity question similar to,
say, the recent Publications Union board's rotat
ing membership mix-up. Out of their casual
interest has come the power of referendum with
no power of duty. P.G.H.
Looters
Locked Out
Some time ago an editorial appeared in the
Daily Tar Heel, advocating new locks for the
doors of the dormitories on the campus. To
date nothing has been done, but it is hoped that
the buildings department will take advantage
of the summer vacation to put on new locks or
fix the old ones so that the rooms cannot be
easily entered by thieves.
The locks now on the doors are equipped
with oblique latches which can be easily pushed
back by inserting a quizbook in the door and
applying a little pressure on the latch. Due to
this simple method of breaking into a dormitory
room, thieves have stolen money, books, and
clothing at frequent times during the past school
year. The very ease with which one can enter
a dormitory room almost at will is itself an in
vitation for a robbery. If, however, the locks
on the doors were equipped with square latches,
the only means of entrance to the rooms would1
be by means of a key.
While robberies have been reported from al
most every dormitory on the
campus, Carr dormitory has been
immune to the crime wave that
has blown over the campus this
year. The fact is easily explained
by an examination of the locks
in" that dormitory, which would
show them to be equipped with
square latches. "
No doubt the University would
have to go to some expense to
equip the locks with square
latches, but it is doubtful that
the cost of doing this would ex
ceed the total amount of cash,
books, and clothing stolen from
dormitory rooms during the past
year. J.L.
