O. P. to victory in the 1932 presidential xace, still remained in the back ground yesterday as the results of the Daily Tar Heel presiden tial nomination straw vote" were tabulated. Though they failed to introduce a new champion, the campus Republicans rallied to the flag of Herbert Hoover, however, and the chief executive received 235 votes, to gain an early lead on whomever may be introduced later as his opponent. Roosevelt Lead Increased Franklin D. Roosevelt, who now looms as the standard bear er of the Democrats, received an additional 197 votes to bring hi total to more than six hundred, a majority of four hundred over his nearest competitor, Owen D. Young. Young, though clearly the second choice of his party, now leads Newton D. Baker, of Ohio, by a scant score of votes. James Cox, ex-governor of Ohio and Democratic candidate oppos ing Harding in 1920, looms as a dark horse for his party, as the ballot revealed that the Ohioan had received a total of 67 votes, enough to place him as a danger ous threat m his division: Norman Thomas maintained his lead as favorite with the So cialists, polling twentyrfive addi tional votes. His only opponent to date is Al Capone, whose name was found written in on the Socialist ticket, substantiat ing the argument, so one of the earlier stumpers maintains, that "whistlers are not the only morons.

C FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1931 Playmaker Manager Considered Well Equipped For New Duties - ' -o ' L.: t - - - Osmand Molarsky, University Sophomore, Originates Successful Puppet Shows as Well as Making Appearances in Dramas Throughout the United States. Harry Davis, the new member of the - Carolina Playmakers staff, being officially named the assistant director and business manager, comes to the Univer sity with a background of experi ence and training which makes him especially fitted to fill a posi tion in Carolina's distinguished playmaking group. Formerly director of the Ton Theatre in Columbia, South Car olina, Davis left behind a record of many outstanding produc tions of famous plays as well as the interpretation of several splendid acting roles. Mrs. Davis is also associated with the Play makers in the capacity of assis tant business manager, and will assist with the costuming of the Playmakers production this sea son. , Following their graduation at the University of South Caro lina, their extra curricula activi ties having consisted chiefly of four years of apprenticeship at the Town Theatre, Davis and his wife were for one year directors of the Theatre Guild of the Miss issippi State College for Women, and instructors in spoken Eng lish. From there they were brought back to the Town Theatre in Columbia, and during the last two years there Davis has spon sored, and produced several worth-while original plays, as well as a . season of eight major productions, and done a con BOARD REDUCED , AT SWAIN HALL -. Commencing with the noon meal today, board at Swain hall will be reduced from $22 per month to $20 per month, making weekly rates of $5. This is the lowest that the price of board has been here within the past twelve years. The reduction in rates will not in the least lower the type of food or service and the dining hall will continue to serve only the highest qualities of food with the same high type of service, UDDie narraon, tne manager said, as, after , comparing the prices this year of sixty-five leading articles of food with those of former, years he has f o'und that he will be able to operate at less expense. Since Swain hall is a non-profit-making establishment, the boarders will receive this saving. . Since the opening of this semester, the dining hall has been serving from 750 to 800 stu dents daily. siderable amount of touring over the state with some of his most finished productions. Outstanding among Davis contributions to his work has been his dramitizations of sev eral children's plays, of which he gave beautiful presentations in Columbia. "Cinderella," "Robin Hood," "The Sleeping Beauty," and "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," done as full-length evening performances, elabor ately costumed and ' set. with casts of forty or fifty children, are remembered in Columbia as the most fascinating and enter taining programs done by the Town , Theatre. It is hoped that Davis will find time to do one of his charming plays in Chapel Hill as another, event sponsored by the Carolina Playmakers. Fqr the past two summers Davis has been 'technical direc tor of the Surry Playhouse, a summer repertory company at Surry, Mane, and has been as sociated with a number of prom inent professional actors and di rectors. Mrs. Davis was also on the staff of the Surry Playhouse in the costuming and properties department. Davis .will assist Professor F. H. Koch in the play writing course, and in the experimental and studio productions of the plays written in the course. He will probably direct the second professional play to be done by the Playmakers this season, which will come in January.

Dr. Archibald Henderson left Chapel Hill for New York last night to turn over in person to D. Appleton and Company, publish ers, the manuscript of the au thoritative definitive copy of the biography of George Bernard Shaw. Dr. Henderson in, a tele gram to Shaw on his birthday, some time in July, announced the completion of the biography, but the manuscript had not then gone to press. Dr. Henderson has been at work on this life of Shaw since 1911 when he issued his volume George Bernard Shaw: His Life and Work which was then con sidered one of the most complete biographies of a living man. This new life promises to be even more comprehensive than his former book. It covers in scope practically the entire period of his life, beginning at the date of his birth some seventy-five years ago, and carrying the story up to the moment the volume goes to press. . ; Shaw Gets First Copy An advance copy of the biog raphy has been sent to Shaw and the literary world anxiously awaits the publishing, of what will probably prove to be the greatest of Dr. Henderson's works. He states that it is not in the least sense a revision of his former biography but is com Dletelv new in every detail. It contains many of the letters of Shaw written to Henderson and others, some of which have never before been printed and gives a complete discussion of the Shavian movement in the theatre. Mathematician and Historian Although Dr. Henderson is the head of the mathematics depart ment of the University his writ ing is prolific and varied. He is nationally known as a mathema tician and a historian, and has written numerous newspaper articles on the $outh during the Civil War and the period of Re construction. Seven books on Shaw had already come from his pen prior to this two volumed life of the "greatest of living writers." Dr. Henderson will remain in New York a few days discussing plans with the publishers before returning to Chapel Hill. NUMBER-o: STATE EXTENSION REPRESENTATIVES WILL MEET TODAY University To Be Host To Of ficials From Six North Carolina Colleges. The North Carolina associa tion of college extension repre sentatives will meet today in R. M. Grumman's office at 3 :00 p. m. This association was formed a little over a year ago with the purpose of promoting co-operative relationships among the in stitutions of higher learning in the state in the conducting of extension teaching. Further aims of the organization are to en courage adult education and to provide an exchange for ideas and discussion of the phases of college extension work. Nine colleges are represented in the association by the follow ing men: R. M. Grumman and W. J. McKee of the University ; Frank Capps and E. W. Ruggles of North Carolina State; C. E. Teague of N. C. C. W.; H. B. Schaeffer and D. R. Haworth of Lenoir-Rhyne; E. Hinshaw and P. S. Kenneth of High Point; and B. B. Lane and J. C. Hadley of Catawba. James E. Hillman of the state department of pub lic education has also been in vited to the meeting. The above institutions serve annually more than five thou sand persons located in every section of the state. The content of the courses is practically the same as what is given at a resi dent college. Students are not admitted to the extension courses of the separate colleges unless they meet the regulation en trance requirements of those col leges. All instructors of exten sion credit courses are members of the regular university and college faculty, or are appointed, as non-residence members of the faculty of a college. Credits are valued exactly the same from an extension course as from a re sidence college. In addition to this type of ser vice, the association provides lecture and discussion extension courses and correspondence in struction. TOKYO HEAD OF SOCIAL WORKERS NOW IN AMERICA Supplementing Kirby Page's information concerning that ex traordinary Nippon, Dr. Toyo hiko Kagawa, head of the social bureau of Tokyo, comes news that this distinguished social worker is in America at the pres ent, time. Dr. Kagawa arrived in New York early this summer to attend the world convention of the Y. M. C.'A. He has remained in this country since that time, studying social conditions. Speaking at a dinner given in his honor recently by the Clergy club of New York, the versatile doctor remarked, that one of the causes of world depression is that religion has been divorced from industry. His advice to man in general is to live up to elementary religious precepts. Less preaching and more action is Kagawa's remedy for the stricken world.
