By Nancy Greenwall Dr. Paul Whitaker, President of the North Carolina Medical Association came forth with the following stand concerning the State medical program. He emphasized he great need of a four year state medical school accom panied by a teaching hospital plus the erection of more rural hospitals. "North Carolina has never support ed complete Medical education for its citizens either as physicians or allied medical workers. With the exception of the health department and the men tal and tuberculosis institutions the State has never appropriated funds for the health of its citizens," Whit aker said. "Compared to many other states, North Carolina spends less annually for maintenance of medical education, medical research and the training of medical workers," Dr. Whitaker said. "For this reason it has spent less than $75,000 annually and it makes no con tributions for aid to general hospital ization," he added. "There must be more doctors if the people are to have the medical care to which they are entitled. Other than the need of many more doctors there must be an increasing amount of medi cal personnel, and additional hospital beds. Beside this the distribution of doctors, personnel and hospitals needs immediate attentions Communities must be awakened to realize and as sume their part of the duty to the in digent sick.

Charles Stevens and Durema Fitz gerald will accompany the Glee Clubs reasonable. The PU board upon further investigation found that it might be possible to please the local merchants if a new scale were de vised. The little amount of local adver tising in the Tar Heel has been the re sult of an ultimatum by the Mer- vf rVhanpl Hill that they would not advertise unless a satisfactory scale was devised com- "mensurate with the circulation. The PU board authorized an in crease in Tar Heel circulation if the Mo trvr A C4r Jr 1 w. w ' iT proposition by Jimmy Wallace, Circu lation Manager.

I War Board To Sell Tuberculosis Seals Under the auspices of the War Co ordination Board, the annual sale of tuberculosis seals starts this week.

Hazlett, Commanding Officer of the Navy, Marine V-12, and NROTC, approved his Welfare Board's recom mendation of a blanket subscription to the Tar Heel for the some 255 rooms occupied by the Navy units. The subscription is for the remainder of the semester and goes into effect with this edition. The approval of the blanket sub scription came after many months and many efforts by the newspaper to se cure such a circulation. Heretofore copies were sold to the Navy men in the YMCA and in Swain Hall. After being approached by this news.' paper since the recent elections tha Welfare Board, headed by Major J. W. Marshall, commanding the Marine detachment, considered the subscrip tion proposition and made its recom mendation of acceptance to the Com manding Officer Monday morning. The subscription is being paid from the welfare fund of the Navy units. Profits from the Scuttlebutt when it was operated by the Navy make up the larger portion of the fund. It was understood that the subscrip tion would terminate at the end of the current semester and would not be re newed because of lack of funds. Jimmy Wallace, circulation man ager of the Tar Heel, is expected to sign a contract with the Navy for the circulation of the stipulated subscrip tions. " This issue of the Tar Heel will be circulated under the new system. The entrance of V-12 paid circula tion upped the total number of Tar Heels to be circulated on the campus to around 2,255. The previous figure was about 2,000.

Coed Mass Meeting There will be a mass meeting of the Carolina Independent Coeds As sociation on Tuesday night, December 12, at 5 p. m. on the second floor of Graham Memorial. Libba Wiggins, president of the group, urges all members to attend. Experimental Scheduled Tonight At 7:30 Another milestone in the develop ment and progress of the Carolina Playmakers is being celebrated this week. The occasion is the presenta tion of the 100th bill of experimental plays, written, directed and staged by students, tonight at 7:30 o'clock in the Playmakers Theatre. Professor Samuel Selden, for sixteen years an associate and close adviser to the late Dr. Koch, will speak in mem ory of "Proff," who initiated the pres ent series of new plays in 1931. Since the founding of the Playmak ers by Frederick H. Koch in 1918, the experimental productions have served as an essential factor in the teaching of drama at the University. Since 1931 the Playmakers have staged 365 original one-act plays in the Playmak ers Theatre, the first theatre in Amer ica to be dedicated to the making of a .native drama. These 365 plays were chosen from thousands written in the University playwriting course under "Proff" and Samuel Selden, now executive director of the Playmakers. Each play was taken from native soil, expressing the fundamental differences and similari ties of people from Carolina to the West Coast, from Mexico to Canada. The first of these plays were presented in 1918 when Thomas Wolfe and Eliza beth Lay Green were student play wrights. "Proff" Koch, in an address during the celebration of the Playmakers' 21st anniversary, said: "We are thinking today of the simple beginnings of the Carolina Playmakers on the impro vised stage in our village high school auditorium . . . and the homespun plays that found an eager and lusty re-j sponse." Since that simple beginning the term "folk drama" has become a familiar one in this state and through out the country. From Chapel Hill the influence of "Proff's" method of teaching playwriting spread. The method encourages each young writer to use the materials closest to his own life, and to write honestly, of the things he feels and knows himself. Quite simply, in Professor Koch's own words, "he must sing his own song in his own way." The drama movement which "Proff" oriented at the University in 1918 was really a protest "a protest against the sterile drama of that day. There was no true American drama; the real problems of the times were being neg lected for the outworn themes of the past century." With the beginning of folk drama; the young playwrights be gan to picture the true American j scene, without fear. J flew here for the occasion. Major Nott, N. C. Group Commander, was also present. The local squadron is assured of its own Army liaison plane as soon as a qualified pilot can be obtained. Under such circumstances each cadet will take par$ in a flight every five weeks, de pending upon his class-room progress. Baptist Will Hold Banquet For Fund Under the direction of Dr. Barnett, the Baptist Student Union will hold a formal banquet Friday evening in the banquet room of the Baptist Church. Proceeds will be used for a relief benefit fund to help feed the hungry peoples of liberated European coun tries. Scheduled to begin at 6:30 Friday evening, the banquet will feature en tertainment provided by student per formers. Tickets for the banquet will be on !sale at the Y office this week. The price is 75 cents. Freshmen Plan Dance As First Social Function A Freshman Ball, the first social function to be sponsored by the Fresh man councils of the YM and YWCA, will be given Saturday night in the women's gym from 9 until 12 p. m. Scott Gardner and his orchestra will supply the music. Bill Lloyd, president of the YM Council, Pat Kelly, Marilyn Meeks, and Sam Homewood, who are in charge of the dance, urge all fresh men to attend. Invitations will be sent out, and complimentary tickets can be secured at the information booth in the Y. Coeds To Discuss Late Permission Tonight the bill to change the clos ing hours of the coed dormitories from 10:30 until 11 o'clock will come up for final discussion and vote in the coed senate. When the lawmakers meet at 7:30 representatives from all doimitories and sorority houses are asked to be on hand to express their opinions prior to the senatorial vote. Also up for discussion and probably for vote will be the bill to establish a person ality council.
