Alter Decision A recent statement by the Playmakers listed "The En chanted Ground," a new play of university life by Green as the next public presentation.

Complications Green's new play centers around the dreamy, child-like daughter of a landlord farmer.

ERICSON BLAMES SYSTEMFORWAR Capitalists Will Continue to Sponsor. War for Profits, He Tells Cabinets. Stating that the nations of the world must first solve their seemingly impossible internal and J domestic maladjustments before international peace can be viewed as probable or immi nent, Professor E. E. Ericson last night continued the Y. M. C. A. discussion program with a talk on "Is Socialism a Cure for War?" x Ericson held that under the present capitalistic, or, as he pre ferred to call it, "industrial" system, was was inevitable re gardless of what the masses think. "The capitalists," he ex plained, "will 'decide that for you, and inevitably will condone war because it is profitable for them to do so." Market Problem Another reason : that under capitalism was is inevitable is that the system must look for new markets when the problem arises of "what to do with our output." The quarrel over who shall patronize the different na tions in their sales campaign causes international animosity. The problem under capitalism, then, is, Dr. Ericson said, that "workers are not able to buy back what they make." This in ternal inability he went on, leads directly to socialism. The result of the situation is that the nations cannot get a decent co-operative international agreement because the internal forces tend to jeopardize any such co-operation. "We need some sort of co operative society," Dr. Ericson warned, "or we'll all go down together." Then, too, he pointed out, the policies of Hitler and Mussolini to impress the theory of "racial superiority" upon their people is a force making international co operation virtually impossible. Thus, he concluded, the problem is really rooted in the human character. Walter Hampden's Revival Of Walter Hampden, one of the foremost actors of the American stage, is expected to draw many students and residents of Chapel Hill who are lovers of the legiti mate theatre to his performance of Shakespeare's "Macbeth" on the stage of the Carolina thea tre in Durham Thursday night at 8:15' o'clock.. Hampden, famed for his portrayal of Ros tand's "Cyrano de Bergerac" as well as his many Shakespearean characterizations, will" play Hamlet" in Raleigh tomorrow night and "Richelieu" in Greens boro Friday. Many critics have acclaimed "Macbeth" as his fin est tragic portrayal. Walter Hampden and the members of his permanent act ing company are practically alone in the clarity of speech, the beauty of diction, the ' finer grace of stage deportment, the breath of technique and the com manding presence which are es sential in doing justice to the majestic verse of Shakespeare, and in recreating the complex characters that dominate his plays. "Macbeth" is seldom played on the modern stage despite its power and fascination as a drama, because they are few Debate Tryouts Tryouts for the debate squad which will meet the University of Georgia on November 15 will be conducted in 209 Graham Me morial tonight at 8:00 o'clock. The query of the debate is : Resolved, thatpeace is impos sible under capitalism. The North Carolina team' will sup port the negative. CO-OP ELECTIONS TO BE TOMORROW Pool, Williamson Townsend, and Roberts Are Candidates for Board of Directors. The election of two new mem bers to the board of directors of the Student Co-operative associ ation will be held .in the Co-op clothing store tomorrow between the hours of 9:00 and 5:00 o'clock. Four men have been nominat ed by the nominating commit tee: Jack Pool, Harry William son, Nat Townsend, and Jimmy Rogers. A membership card in either the cleaners or the cloth iers will allow the owners to cast one vote. A membership in both gives one the right to vote twice. Additional Nominees In case any member wants to name another nominee for the board he will write the name of the nominee on his ballot. Both the cleaners and the clothing store are operated un der the supervision of the board of directors, composed of five members who determine the pol icies of the two concerns.. . Contrary to a rumor that has been going the rounds, a mem ber of the . board does not draw a salary, althouerh a salarv has been suggested for the position. , - Tapping Postponed .-. 1 c The annual tapping of Tau Beta Pi, national honorary engi neering fraternity, originally scheduled for tonight, has been indefinitely postponed, it was an nounced yesterday by Dr. A. L White of the chemical engineer ing department. Tour Indicates Old Stage Tradition actors who can hold up under the strain of its physical and psychological demands. It has oeen saia tnat no actor ever failed as Hamlet,' and while this may not necessarily be strictly true, it is- certain that a great many have failed as "Macbeth." Hampden says that the part of Macbeth holds but one rival in difficulties for the actor, Othello, but of the two he considers, Mac beth the more exacting. The part of Lady Macbeth, perhaps the most powerful and compelling woman in Shake speare, has also had an interest ing stage history. Mrs. Siddons and Charlotte Cushman have both made dramatic history in the part which is now played by Mabel Moore, an actress in the classic tradition who has played all of the great Shakespearean heroines in England as well as America. Broadway's increasing tend ency, to "go hill-billy," following the success of Kathenne Cor nell's tour in "The Barretts of Wimpole Street" last year, brings rich gifts from the dra matic world to the provinces. Not the least of these is the Wal ter Hampden "Macbeth" in Dur ham Thursday night. NUMBER 40 DEMOCRATS VOTE TODAY CONFIDENT OF HUGEVICTORY Record Off-Year Vote Expected; Seven Campaign Speeches Made Yesterday in State. STATE OFFICIALS SPEAK Washington, Nov. 5. (UP) The Democrats will emerge from the swamp of balloting in tomorrow's election still in con trol of both houses of Congress, last minute reports indicated to night. Every sign pointed towards a vote which will be the heaviest in years for an "off-year" elec tion. . Estimates placed' the number of voters registered throughout the nation at a point between 40 and 45 million. Expect "Off-Year" Count ' Party leaders, however, will be satisfied if the usual "off year" election count approxi mately 33 million is " reached. The Democratic party ma chine threw its support behind Senator Hiram Johnson, Cali fornia Republican, in his fight for re-election. Those who are accustomed to forecast the future by the past have admitted that tomorrow's election will probably violate the political axiom that a party new ly come to power in the presi dency and in Congress loses its majority in the House in the election two years later. Raleigh, . State Democratic Headquarters, Nov. 5. (UP) On the eve of the election, head quarters officials expressed their confidence that a great outpour ing of Democrats will cast a vote proportionately as large as thai two years ago heavier than any "off-year" vote for a long time. , Statements by Chairman J.
