Critics say that nowhere in the whole of Shaw is his satire more keen, his humor more piercing or his wit with such an edge as in his play.v Shaw, be ing a law unto himself, ridicules and satirises human beings, their frailties and foibles but in such a way that the audience really enjoys the evening.

ENGINEERS VOTE T0PUBIJSH0WN NEWSMAGAZINE George Gorham and Noel Zelly Elected Editor-in-Chief and . Business Manager. At a meeting of the entire stu dent body of the school of engi neering, the engineers . decided unanimously to assess them selves to assure financial backing for the newly formed magazine of the engineering school. The magazine will be called the Caro lina Engineer. It will contain articles and essays submitted by the students themselves as well as other material. ' Final plans for the publica tion of the magazine have not been worked out, Fisher Black, who was chairman of the meet ing last week said yesterday. The fee which the student will be as sessed, expected to be approxi mately thirty, cents each, has not yet been determined nor; has the date of the initial; publication been set. There will be two is sues for the remainder of this vear and probably . four issues per year hereafter. Magazine Heads Elected George Gorham was elected editor-in-chief while H. Noel Zelly was chosen business man ager. Four associate editors will be elected later, one from each engineering society. The business manager will select his assistants from those who volun teer for the positions. The officials of the magazine hope to be able to join a publica tions union of college engineer ing magazines. Such an arrange ment would benefit the Carolina Engineer in that it would derive national advertising which it is hoped will make the paper self- supporting. The Carolina Engineer is not a new magazine on the campus but is a revival of an engineer ing magazine published here in mimeograph form a number of years ago.

Roosevelt Confronts Gigantic Task In Selection Of Cabinet With Nearly Six Hundred -Eligible Aspirants for Cabinet Offices, President-Elect Faces Job of Picking Ten Best; Tar Heel Presents List of Thirty Democrats for Offices. - 0- ; - V (By Don Shoemaker) The all-important task of se lecting those ten men best fitted to partake in the executive des tiny of the administration will be a gruelling one to president elect Franklin Delano Roose velt, when the choice is made a few weeks hence. Top wave on the crest of Democracy's clean sweep of 1932, Roosevelt, as both the leader ofhisparty and the nation, will be hounded on every side by tens of dozens of eligible cabinet officers, yet from all this number he must select but ten. A half -score from a field of nearly six hundred! For there are actually v that many governors, ex-governors, partisan publishers, national committeemen, congress mem bers and local party whips who seem eligible o the leaders in their respective states. Of course this number includes some three hundred and fifty Democrats in the next Congress, all of whom, the political prophets say, are good cabinet material. . In selecting his cabinet a pros pective president has an ample range of choice: He may select some of his officers from among the defeated group of nominees at his party convention. He may choose several for' his, 'cabinet from the new Congress. He may also put men into his cabinet who have never figured in a pre vious state or national legisla ture or who have but little politi cal prominence in their respec tive territories. In the latter case, men skilled in the affairs of state, legal rights, or bankers STUDENTS INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENT SUNDAY EVENING Miss Anna Cowles in Duke Hospital Recovering From Injuries; Four Others Receive Treatment. Driving over the Greensboro road about 8:00 o'clock Sunday evening to meet a train a group of students saw coming at them a swerving car traveling at a high rate of speed. Instead of turning to the right side of the road the car headed directly for them, smashing into their car at about forty miles an hour. In the one car, driven apparently by drunken negroes, it was ru mored that two of the occupants were killed. In the car from Chapel Hill the severest injuries were sustained by Miss Anna Cowles, a freshman co-ed at the University, who is now at the Duke hospital in Durham. John Cowles, father of Miss Cowles and a graduate student here, was also injured and was treated at the University in firmary, shortly after the acci dent. Miss Porter Cowles, a sis ter of the above Miss Cowles and a senior co-ed here, Miss Betty Bolton, also a senior co-ed, and Winant Wildey, a junior, who were riding in the back seat when the accident occurred es caped with minor cuts and bruises.- -. - ' Senior Comprehensives The' senior comprehensive ex aminations for the fall quarter have been scheduled for Decem ber 3.' - All seniors have been re quested to arrange, conferences with the heads of the depart ments they are majoring in, if they have not done so already. and publishers fill the berths in this field. Of times national committee chairmen and person al political lieutenants of the new president come in for cabinet honors. In all cases, however, the. men must be competent and of sufficient prominence to be ap proved by the senate. Except in rare instances does this highest branch of the national legisla ture refuse the president's sub mission. The president's most judi cious choices must, be for the three highest positions of Secre tary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, and Attorney-General. These three are largely respon sible for the success of his ad ministration. The Secretary "of State must be one who is suffici ently versed in international af fairs, for it is he who practi cally designates the foreign pol icy of the administration. This is perhaps the prize plum. Un til recent years, the Secretary of State portfolio was considered as the next "step to the presidency. James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincey Adams, Martin VanBuren and James Buchanan relinquished this post to become chief executive. , The presiden tial choice here must be consid erate. For Secretary of Treasury the president must select a, man whose experience in finance and the affairs of state equips him to administer to the national ex chequer in such an efficient man ner as to insure the financial sta bility of the administration (Continued on last page) DEBATERS CHOSEN BY PHI ASSEMBLY AT LAST MEETING C.
