Governor Scott Galls Gray Recommendation The Proper Decision' Open Meet Set By UP For 2 Today Representatives For Dormitories Is Main Topic The By Zane Bobbins new University Party RALEIGH, Jan. 24 (JP) Action of a special committee in re commending Army Secretary Gordon Gray as the next president of the University of North Carolina was "the ptoper decision," Governor Scott said today. ' The Governor told his news conference that the committee charged wjh selecting a new president for the university had made an exhaustive study before deciding on the millionnaire Winston- Salem publisher. More than 200 names were considered by the committee, the dormitory representative set-up governor said, and althoueh it decided at the outset it wanted an W1" be the mam topic of discus educator for the post, it finally decided. that "Gordan Gray fitted sion th afternoon at 2 o'clock into the picture better than any man it had in mind."

By Mark Sumner Although Paul Green's "Tread the Green Grass" fills the season program spot usually held by the Playmaker production of a Mem orial Hall musical show, it will be the first regular stage play to be produced there by the Play makers since their 1940 produc tion of Green's "The Field God." "Tread the Green Grass" is simply too big a show to fit the tiny stage in the Playmaker The ater. The script calls for a cast of 50 and for . many intricate staging devices. Lynn Gault, Playmaker scene desigijer, explained that he had to design a setting which would allow the action of the play to move from a field, to a farm house, then inside the farm house, to a cabin, finally to a church, and then to shift from one locale to the other,' all instantaneously. "I built a model first," Gault said, "then worked from it, show ing the two houses on a series of levels, with most of the walls cut away. Wes Egan, who is handling the lighting, has set the lights so that they can pinpoint one playing area, then quickly shift to another, or show several playing areas simultaneously." "The scenery is not realistic,' he added, "but is more to suggest a mental image, such as the set tings for "Egypt Lan'Mast year, or "They Shall Take Up Ser pents." If you remember that show, - with the house structure outlined, rather that shown re alistically,' you will see how we plan to stage the church burning Dr. Graham Seeks To Weld For Peace guards and other personnel for one of its camps for Negro prisoners Sate the possibility of adding dor- "as an experiment." muory representatives to tne 2.

Foster Fitz-Simons, who is di recting the play, has had the problem of showing the actors in the 13 main roles and the 40 crowd scene and chorus actors where and how to move. Fifty people on stage at one time, even on as large a stage as Memorial hall offers, presents an intricate problem of timing. "The play is a modern moral ity," Fitz-Simons explained, "and the action has been stylized, since several of the scenes take place in Tina s mind." Dimes Dance Scheduled By Legion Chapel Hill Post 6 of the Amer ican Legion will sponsor a March of Dimes Benefit Dance in the Naval R.O.T.C. Armory Saturday night with football stars Johnny Clements and Art Weiner serving as masters of ceremony.
