assembly yesterday morning.
After emphasizing the prob
ability of war in the near fu
ture, Mr. Stier traced the path
of America's actions that led us
into the last war through our
commercial greed. He also de
scribed the preparations being
made by nations at the present

"Our task is the salvation of
society," continued Mr. Stier.
"We must secure the passage of
legislation changing our foreign
policy, expose military propa
ganda, help everyone under
stand the causes of wars, and
unite in a powerful movement to
keep us out of them. We must
face this problem, for if we can
not prevent war the youth of

band organizations, his orches

dance band experience to form
the group. To date McManeus
has signed contracts to play for
three dances, the Chi Omega

the Zeta Beta Tau house party,
November 13-14 ; and the Kappa

Playmakers Annual
Tour Set To Begin
Early In November
New Paul Green Play is Added
To Repertoire
After concluding a three night
run of The Drunkard, the Caro
lina Playmakers announced yes
terday that their next major
venture would be the thirty-
fourth tour, which will begin
on November 13 when the com
pany takes to the road.
The plays to be given this sea
son will be the same as those of
last year with one exception :
Paul Green's Quare Medicine to
be given instead of- Cottie
Mourns by Patsy McMullan. The
two other presentations are
Tooth or Shave, a Mexican com
edy by Josephine Niggli, and
New Nigger, a tragedy of the to-
, ' , L TT ,
a graduate of the class of 1934,
who is now connected with Ted
Shawn's dance group.
Playwrights
All three plays were written
in Chapel Hill under the direc
tion of Dr. Frederick H. Koch
in his- playwriting classes, and
are representative of the work
done by students in the depart
ment of dramatic arts.
Quare Medicine centers
around a quack doctor whose so
lution of a domestic difficulty in
the Jernigan household by the
use of fake medicines is as star
tling to him as it is to the Jer-
nigans themselves.
The Mexican folk play, Tooth
or Shave, has to do with an ig
norant barber and "tooth pull
er," a sly carpenter, and ten
pieces of Mexican currency.
New Nigger is the story of
the tenant farmers in Eastern
North Carolina; the share-croppers
whose trials and disagree
ments the author ,well knows
Tragedy comes when Big John,
a tenant farmer, attempts to as
sert his rights.
