SOUTH'S ECONOMY
Manager Talks

Day Audience
"President Franklin

Roose
he said
the South is
the number one
economic problem of the nation,"
asserted Mark Ethridge, gen
eral manager of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, who . was the
principal speake rat yesterday
morning's University day exer
cises held in Memorial hall.
"The president summed up
what has been said in the im
portant books concerning the
South ... It is a healthy state
of the mind when we know the
situation we are in," continued
the prominent journalist.
Ethridge was introduced to
the students, faculty and guests
by President Frank Graham.
Problem Of Today
. "Much soil erosion has taken
place during the years but it is
not the erosion of soil that is
the main problem of today. It
is the degradation and erosion
of human beings that have oc
cupied it . . . Our facilities of
education are the smallest in the
nation because we haven't got
the money to do better," the
speaker continued. ,
Ethridge pointed out that the
average farmer in the South re
ceives annually. $186 for his ef
forts; the average farmer else
where receives $528 per year
. . . "The people of the South are
the most heavily mortgaged in
the country," said the speaker.
Bank Deposits
The speaker emphasized that
Southern farmers have an aver
age bank deposit of $150 in
comparison with' the $470 - de
posit of the average farmer
elsewhere. He declared that in

South range from 4.14 per cent
to 44 per cent. ,
"With these facts in consid

see that our capital is stripped."

WOLFE GOT CHECK
ON DAY 0FDEATH
Royalty Came From
Play Written Here
On the day of Thomas Wolfe's
death, a check addressed to him
arrived from Professor Fred
erick H. Koch. The check repre
sented royalties received from
the last production of his firs
play, his first published work
"The Return of Buck Gavin,'
the story of an outlaw who came
home;
Written when Wolfe was eigh
teen, in the first playwriting
course given at the university 20
years ago, it was included in the
second volume of "Carolina Folk
Plays." -
A Chinese refugee, homeless
and war-scarred, received
bank draft from "Proff" after
many months delay caused by
the war. Cheng-Chin Hsiung,
student in the playwriting class
received $55 this past season in
royalties for "The Thrice Prom
ised Bride," written some time
ago. '
' - Royalties to the amount of
$201 were recently distributed
by Professor Koch for student
plays written in his playwriting
courses. Playmakers consider
this indicative of the continuing
popularity of "Carolina Folk
Plays." Royalties are still being
received for such plays as
"Peggy," a tenant-farm tragedy,
and forerunner of the Tobacco
Road types of drama, Lorette
Carroll Stevens' "Job's Kinf oiks"
and "Magnolia's Man" by Ger
trude Wilson Coffin. The last
will be taken on the Playmaker's
northern tour next month.

Surnames Sometimes Upshot
Of Increased Population;
Once All Right
By LOUISE JORDAN
May it be known that the
Carolina campus does not lack in
"misfdrmed monikers."
Surnames, it is written, were
the result of an increased popu
lation which necessitated further
particularity than a personal
name could supply. All names
once had common-sense signifi
cance, and it is astonishing and
amusing to study the effect of
corrupting influences on them in
their oftentimes meaningless de
rivities today.
Pythagoras taught that the
minds, actions, and success of
men would be according to their
