CPU Holds Campus - War Poll
Tuesday; Six Queries Posed
Union Asks About Government Criticism,
Price and Wage Ceilings, UNC Honor Code
Student opinion undergoes its first test since America's entry
into the war, this Tuesday, when University students cast an ex
pected 2,500 votes in the Carolina Political union's quarterly poll.
Anouncement of Tuesday's poll was made yesterday by Union
chairman, Ridley Whitaker, who stated that six questions dealing
with campus and world problems would
go before the students in the 10 hour
Nation-Wide
Hookup Given
Radio Play
Playmakers of Air
Present Houston's
New Production
Presenting "One Ted Malloy," the
first radio play written by Noel Hous
ton, author of "Marauders" which was
produced here last year by the Caro
lina Playmakers and "According to
Law" which won the American Civil
Liberties Union award as the best play
illustrating the Bill of Rights in ac
tion, the Carolina Playmakers of the
Air move into the seventh week of their
series of Mutual coast-to-coast broad
casts from the campus studios.
Struck by the cold curtness with
which one-column cuts and brief para
graphs in the newspapers dismiss the
new war casualties, Noel Houston was
inspired to write a play showing what
warmth and humanity really lay be
hind these pictures.
Using the item that gave him the
idea as a device with which to develop
his story the. author starts the play in
a news office where the city editor
scanning the casualty list sees a name
of local interest and sends a reporter
after a picture. As the dead youth's
grandmother sorts over pictures taken
of him through his life, the story of
the average American boy is told in
flashback form, climaxed by a final
scene as he meets the enemy.
"Give me fifty words for a single
column cut," says the editor to the
reporter returning with the picture.
Houston came to Carolina in 1937 to
study playwriting under Paul Green
and Frederick Koch. For several years
previously he had been reporter and
later editor on newspapers in his home
town, Oklahoma City. In 1938 he was
awarded a Rockefeller fellowship in
playwriting and he is now working on
a full length play under a fellowship
in playwriting from the Dramatists'
Guild.
Last year Houston returned to Car
olina for the production of the "Ma
rauders" which was being considered
for Broadway production by the New
York Theater Guild. The play was
; an analogy, however, whose characters
symbolized the attitudes of countries
and leaders of the world and it was
soon dated by fast moving history. At
the time of this production he was crit- j
icized for his pro-fascist representation
of the men of Vichy, but he feels that
events have borne out his fears.

Hillel Services
Hillel will hold its Orthodox services
balloting period on Tuesday.
Heading the Union's list of queries is
the national question mark, "Do you
believe that criticism of the govern
ment's war effort should be allowed?"
Views of America's post-war actions
come under surveillance, in the union
poll when students will be questioned,
"In the event of an Allied victory,
should America assume the responsi
bility for the peace plans after the
war?" Wholeheartedly upholding this
view, Mrs. Roosevelt in her recent
Chapel Hill address, rallied student
opinion behind the viewpoint that
America must prepare to "play the
role of an international policeman."
Third question, encompassing na
tional issues deals with governmental
control of prices, farm commodities and
wages. "Do you favor government

at 7:30.
A new call goes forth this week for
further contributions to the Victory
book campaign. Although the people
of Chapel Hill and the University stu
dent body have responded generously
to the campaign appeal, the need for
books is still pressing, reports Miss Nel
lie Roberson, local director of the drive.
Books greatly needed at the moment
are ones of recent publication. The ones
most in demand are volumes which the
donors themselves have recently enjoy
ed and that when given will leave a big
gap on the bookshelves. "It is expected
that the presentation of such books
will represent a sacrifice on the part of
the donors," said Miss Roberson.
Letters are now being sent to all fra
ternities, dormitories and households
urging them to buy at least one new
book and inscribe it with the name and
address of every person contributing to
the purchase of it.
Miss Roberson stressed that "the
soldier's hours of relaxation are the
breeding time of courage and content
ment, or of irresolution and despond
ency and that therefore it is earnestly
hoped that every student and citizen
will do his best to give service men the
books they need and want to fill these
hours."
Already over 2,500 books have been
contributed to the drive and of those
over 1,600 are now being enjoyed in
army camps throughout the state and
in USO headquarters in Raleigh.
