Are Set for October 10.

Harriet Beecher Stowe, will be
the first presentation of the
Carolina; Playmakers, which is

Playmakers Director Believes

In Natural Talent.

Professor F. H. Koch, director
of the Carolina Playmakers,
lectured Sunday night on "Our
Adventures in Playmaking," re
calling the hardships undergone
by the first members of the!
group which has now come into
national prominence.
The speaker, by means of
slides, traced the work of the
Playmakers from the time when
one of their sets supposed to
represent a lob cabin turned out
more like a chocolate layer cake
until the time when a group of
them were received by Calvin
Coolidge at the White House.
Poor Equipment
When he came here in 1918,
stated Professor Koch, the shab
by equipment possessed by the
University testified to the neg
lect of the fine arts on the part
of North Carolinians. Up until
that time practically no effort
at drama had been made in this
state.
Great difficulty was encounter
ed by the actors in the few home
talent plays that had been at
tempted before his coming, the
"stage" being a platform built
over the first rows of seats in
Memorial hall, and the players
being forced to climb in the win
dows from the top floor of the
Y. M. C. A. to reach the back of
the stage.

something is going on of vastly
more importance than mere poli
tical re-arrangement or an at

does admit that the economic ef
fects of the World War are par
tially responsible for the pres
ent upheavals.

This "something of more im

he explains, is the re-shaping of

"One must keep in mind that
the" parties are not political in
as important as the Renaissance
and the Reformation, in the lat
ter of which Germany was the
spiritual and physical battlefield
whereon the destiny of our civil
ization was decided. Behind all
these parades, demonstrations,
speeches, bloody struggles, and
sometimes Quixotic heroism,
great historic powers, yet shape
less, soon will take form and let
us see what course the history
of Germany, and with it the his
tory olthe West, is taking."
Spann believes that military
civil war, far from helping the
situation, would have ruined
Germany. He was gratified, he
said, to find that early in Sep
tember the potential civil war,
which had been brewing this
summer, was already on the de
cline before he left for the
United States.

The University dance commit

Dr. Bernard.
At this meeting tentative

The University, through its
extension division, is to offer
more than one hundred courses
by correspondence this year for
the benefit of citizens who, for
various reasons, chiefly financial
will be unable to establish resi
dence at some institution of
learning, Russell M. Grumman,
director of extension, announced
yesterday.
Tor a number of years the
University, through itsextension
division has been conducting
correspondence instruction for
various groups of citizens, and
for the past two years this me
thod of instruction has been of
particular value to high school
graduates who for financial rea--sons,"
have found it impossible to
attend college," Grumman said.

courses offered by the Univer
sity carry college credit these
students have been enabled to
make a beginning in their higher
studies leading to a degree.
"Likewise, these courses aid
college students in good standing
to continue their' education when
they find it necessary for a time
to leave the institutions of high
er learning."
Count Toward Graduation
The University allows nine
correspondence courses to be
counted toward graduation. This
represents a year of college
work.
Practically all of the courses
required of college freshmen are
offered by correspondence. In
structors, all of whom are mem
bers of the University faculty,
strive to give individual instruc
tion and attention to their home
study students. Text-books are
supplemented by the loan of
reading material from the Uni
versity extension library.
