Page Two THE DAILY TAR HEEL FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 19 J6 Drinking at Carolina In an effort to help the individual students here at Carolina interpret certain aspects of our way of life and in order to familiarize all men students with the view which his fellow stu dents have concerning drinking here, the Men's Council would like to point out a few ideas, in a general as well as specific manner. It would be foolhardy for any group to take the stand that there shall not be any drinking at Carolina. However, there is no doubt that every clear thinking and responsible student will unite in emphasizing that the students of the University will not tolerate intoxication, disorder, dissolute conduct and other of- f enses against decent citizenship. In different terms we mean that the level of your personal conduct can be governed by you. You are, at the same time, responsible to your classmates to the extent that your actions shall, in no way, lower the high stand ards which are our heritage from past generations of students. The strict rules forbidding drinking at dances which are exercised by the University Dance Committee settles what may be a very difficult situation. The drinking which occurs else where on the campus cannot be so closely regulated. The fact that this is true should make us conscious, at one and the same time, of our personal responsibility and challenge. We must . be ever mindful, whether we are in the football stadium, our dormitory or fraternity house, on the campus, up town, or even out of town, that we and our school are judgecf by the way we conduct ourselves. Any time we feel that we may fail to dis tinguish that which is good and wholesome from that which is not acceptable by the society in which we live, and allow our conduct to be motivated by selfish whims and intoxicated ra '. tionalizations, then we are making ourselves subject to sus pension from this University. . The vast majority of the students who live by a strong code of personal integrity and honorable conduct will refuse to ac cept you as a part of the whole here at Carolina. If you persist in placing personal pleasure before constructive cooperation, then you have no place at Carolina. In your Student Govern ment structure you have the Men's Council which has the re sponsibility and the duty to punish the violators of the principles brought out in this article. We shall never condone intoxication for any reason on this Campus and every student looks to you to cooperate in solving an ever-present problem. At the same time we emphasize that drunkenness or the fact that a man may have violated the Honor System or the Campus Code under the influence of alcohol is NOT accepted as an ex cuse for that violation. Your role in this program will be just as important to you as it will be to your Student Government. THE MEN'S COUNCIL. ...... Info for Imports With all of the big dance week-ends of the quarter rapidly approaching, it has been called to our attention that the campus could well afford a little pre-war item that Carolina gentlemen and their dates used to find most handy on all big week-ends. The item of which we speak is a little booklet prepared by the dance committee before the war which was sent to all "im ports" giving them the lowdown on Carolina dances. As a re sult, the girls knew all the unwritten rules about campus dances as ,well as the written ones and came to Chapel Hill knowing what to expect. It is encouraging to hear that the present dance committee has decided to reoriginate the little booklet again this fall. Many pre-war students have told us that they considered the book of invaluable aid to their dates then and we feel sure that it will be helpful once again.

That direc tion being toward a balanced, readable, entertaining and instructive publica tion. The current issue, while still far from a perfect or great issue certainly meets admirably the four criteria just mentioned. Editor Fred Jacobson and staff are to be congratulated for turning out a magazine that follows in the high traditions of past Carolina Magazines. Mr. Jacobsoninherits the mantle of Mag editorship from a succession of students who represented the fim-st in collegiate journalism.

Haskell Hamilton Opening the fall season, the Carolina Playmakers presented a creditable interpretation of the Pulitzer Prize Comedy, "State of the Union," in the Playmakers Theatre, Wednesday night. Under the direction of Harry Davis the players moved through the parts in acceptable fashion, however, of times failing to impart any vibrance or lustre to the characters in the play. I think this was due in part to the inexperience of the group in playing come dies, plus the usual opening-night uncertainty as to where the laughs will fall. The presentation certainly was well worth the price of admission, and then some. To say that the show wasf not a howling success is merely a reflection of the inherent casting dif ficulties which the Playmakers try to overcome in putting on a show of this kind. While most of the minor characters, particularly Lulabelle Al exander as played by Lillian Prince, "Judge Alexander" portrayed by Cla ude "slats" Rayborn, turned in laud able performances; it was only the exceptional lead interpretation that received the audience's plaudits. The aforementioned Mr. Rayborn, inciden tally,' almost stole the show with his well timed and decidedly professional interpretation of a Southern Republi can Judge, suh. Among the leads, John Blair's Conover," and "Mary Matthews" as played by Madeline Cooley were the best performances of the eve ning. Mark Sumner, as the news wise Newspaperman "Spike Mac Manus" was excellent in spots, and mediocre in others. Quentin Brown seemed mis-cast In the lead of the comedy, "Grant Matthews." Some how Mr. Brown never seemed to convince the audience that he was the big business tycoon cross be tween nenry Kaiser and Wendell Willkie. I got the impression that he was just an Eagle-Scout, play acting in the tycoon's role. I hasten to add, however, that on the whole Quentin Brown is quite a pleasurable performer. It's just that "Grant Matthews" is not his type of role. Harriet Keen's interpretation of "Kay Thorndike" was perhaps the weakest characterization in the com edy. Miss Keen is neither the type, nor does the part call for a portrayal of a bedroom companion; which is what she presented "to 'the audience on Wednesday night. No review of the production would be complete without a word about the luxurious, delightful, and con vincing sets produced by Lynn Gault. Indeed, it was Mr. Gault's sets which went far toward producing a professional surrounding, in which, to accept the Playmaker's offer ings.' Others whose portrayal is worth What Do YOU Say? By Sam Daniels ' Today's Question Do you. have any trouble'doing bus iness with the students of N.C.U.? The Answers We don't have any trouble with the students we can always sell all we can get. This has heen a student drug store for 23 years. Our prices are based on those set by the manufac turers. All our products are within the Fair Trade Prices set by the Fed eral Government. J. L. Sutton, Sut ton's Drug Store. What a question! Students and fac ulty are the source of our livelihood and we try never to forget it. We also hope that we show it. K. B. Nye, AB's Intimate Bookshop. We have practically no trouble Most all of our customers are Jadies and gentlemen. I am very pleased with the honesty and consideration shown me by Carolina students. We have almost 100 cooperation from the students. "Mac" McGinty, Car olina Sport Shop. Except for the one or two incon- siderates who don't realize the trou- bleous times the merchants are going through it is a pleasure to do busi ness " with all you guys and gals. associated issue presents two fictional features which are uninteresting, pointless, and as far as I can figure out just run-of-the-mill stuff that "every stu dent of creative writing can pound out on assignment, once a week. A redeeming feature of the Oc tober Magazine is its Humour se lection. Good "stuff by Dick Stern, Gilbert Furgurson and T. Hodgson made me chuckle. In fact, Stern's technique in his story "Private Eye," was the neatest take-off on the recent Dick Powell portrayal's that has been my pleasure to read. Tookie Hodgson's Inka Dinda Doo story was up to Hodgson's usual high standard for campus slapstick satire. I'm sure everyone including Foo-Foo Jellyroll will get a kick out of this short, snappy, piece. The October Features were the best all-around reading in the Mag azine. Burke Shipley's "Return of the Native" was well written, and pre sented some new facts to the charac ter of Frank Graham. And, that's not easy to do considering the hundreds of articles which have been written about Dr. Frank. Bob Morrison and Jack Crum's "A Better DeaP' is well written, factual, interesting and in- ormative. I don't know if there's anything else I can say in favor of an article of this type. "CO-OP eration" by Tom McDade should be well received. It's a sensible article, written by a man who's sure of his facts' and presented in a man ner that's sure to catch the reader's interest. McDade gives you the low down. on Chapel Hill's coops and leaves me with the impression that he knows a helluva lot more about the situation, than is politic to talk about right now. "Pipeline to the People" by Jud Kinberg could have been han dled in a more interesting manner. Sorry Jud, but I got a little weighted down by your style in this piece, and had some difficulty finishing it. . . even though the subject matter is of interest to me. The article just does n't seem to be able to get started. "Teaching For Peanuts" by Ar nold Schulman is, to my mind, the best written, most factual, and best paced article in the magazine. Sch ulman does a capable job, and scat ters significant facts in with a well written, hard-punching style that makes his article tops in my book. Flagler, Harden and Sapp's "Plane Facts," would make a good Sunday supplement feature, but is just a trifle weak for inclusion in the cur rent Mag. The authors seem to know their facts, but the only in teresting sentence to me, was their remark that "N. C. State and Wom an's College are . . . populating the airlines." I'll refrain from commenting on the Mag's Editorial policy, and give the staff another issue to iron out their difficulties. With the talent available and tbp nrnm lco n-f c & -vie 4- ipciirt neea me most m the way of enter- it looks Hke a fcanner vear for the Magazine. high standards Magazine. However, all that glitters is not gold. And, as a result there's plenty of dross in the October Mag. Going through the Magazine from a make up standpoint I think the editors mis sed the boat completely by not having an eye-catching make-up, photograph or cartoon in the first few pages of the issue. Instead of arousing inter est, I think that by the time the read er gets to page three he's not exact ly sure whether he's in the front of the magazine, or not. A single column surrounded by ad vertisements does not belong that far up in a magazine that must compete for reader attention. The rest of the Magazine's make--up, however, gets better as the reader progresses through the mag zine. Stalling's Inka Doo Affair car toon page is excellent, as is the "Striking for Progress" page. In cidentally, the idea of using the c-a-r-o-I-i-n-a pixies throughout the issue is a good one that shows imagination and originality. "The Better Deal" lay-out is eye catching and reader stimulating. The center-page spread is well done and timely, however, the picture of the Carolina campus could have had bet ter effect were it bigger and less cramped in. All in all, make-up rates about a "B" with an "A" for effort. Dick Harden's "Life is Short" falls far short of satisfying my fiction tastes. I don t know what the short- story teachers say about this story, but to my mind it is hardly worth the attention it receives, and is the weak est feature of the October issue. What ever Mr. Harden's point is, he cer tainly doesn't make it; nor do I know just exactly what he is trying to do. Perhaps I have a warped taste, but "Life is Short" made me realize that it is indeed too short to spend time reading stuff like this Paul Ramsey's "Tightened Hands" is a couple of notches better than the aforementioned "Life is Short." But, still I'm sure there are better stories kicking around. It is this poor choice of fiction which has ruined student interest in past Carolina Magazines, and I'm sorry to say that the current Harry's. The only trouble I ever have is that some of the students are a little re luctant to come for Yack appoint ments. I think I have less trouble doing business with Carolina students than I would have the general pub lic in Durham or some other city. I am very pleased with the integrity and dependability of Carolina stud ents. R. M. Wootten, Wootten Moul- The only trouble I have is getting enough good merchandise at the right prices to keep the students satisfied. Jack Lippman. Next issue: What does Chapel Hill tainment. Crossword Puzzle ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE some comment are James Geiger as Senator Lauterback, Irvine Smith as a convincing Sam Parrish, and Elea nor Ringer in a capable interpreta tion of the shrewd Mrs. Draper. On the whole, the performance was a good one, with several weak spots which unfortunately prevent the per formance from rising out of the very satisfactory class and into the realm of a great interpretation, of the Pulit zer Prize comedy.
