NEW INDEPENDENT
DRAMATIC GROUP
Co-Op Theater
Plans Two Plays
For Presentation
Formation of the Co-op Theater, a
new and independent dramatic group,
which intends to privately sponsor
contemporary theatrics, was a n -nounced
yesterday by Edward Post.
The Co-op Theater, which grew out
of a desire of certain students to con
centrate upon pertinent drama, is at
present planning the production of
two short plays. They are Mac
Liesh's "Air Raid" and "The Devil's
Bread," by Post. Try outs for these
plays are to be conducted today in
Gerrard hall at 3 o'clock. Any stu
dents interested in such productions
are invited to attend this try-out and
thus signify their interest in the new
organization.
PURPOSE OF THEATER
Stating its purposes, Post declared:
"The purpose of the Co-op Theater is
to expand the acquaintance of Caro
lina students with the - vital drama,
and to promote practical experience in
theatrics for those people not ac
commodated by the regular produc
tion schedule of the Playmakers. It
is our wish in general to complement
official Playmaker work, and this
group has no intention of conflicting
with the department."

College Students Disfavor
Compulsory ,Military Duty
21 Per Cent Of Women Vote
To Require Men To Serve
Either In Army Or Navy
While the youth of Europe marches
off to the battle fronts, American col
lege students stand overwhelmingly
opposed even to the mention of com
pulsory military service in the United
States.
This is revealed in a coast-to-coast
poll conducted by the Student Opin-
ion surveys oi America, resuixs oi
which showthat 81 per cent of the
men and women attending the nation s
colleges and universities are against
requiring "every able-bodied Ameri
can boy 20 years old to go into the
Army or Navy for one year."
SCIENTIFIC POLL
The poll was taken using a scien
tific cross section that includes , exact
proportions of the different types
of students registered in all the in
stitutions of higher learning. College
men, who would have to carry the
guns and do the marching, were found
to be the most opposed, only 17 per
cent favoring. But 21 per cent of the
half million girls going to college said
they favored military training for
the boys.
The national results follow:
Men Women Both
Should require 17 21 19
Should not require 83 79 81
These figures contrast with those of
a recent poll taken by the Surveys, in
which 87 per cent of the collegians de
clared themselves for ROTC training
on the campus, 4 per cent more men
than women giving their approval. Of
those approving, however, 58 per cent
