Italian War Effort
WASHINGTON. Feb: fi -
UP) The War Manpower
Commission tonight made pub
lic an initial -list of 281 universi
ties and colleges which will be
used by the Army and Navy for
training scientists and other
specialists to fill the growing
needs for the armed serviced
specialized fields. The institu
tions included: War department
school for training engineers,
Dean F. F. Bradshaw, direc
tor of the War College, and W.
D. Carmichael, controller of
the Greater University who
has recently been in Washing
ton in connection with the
WMC choices of colleges, late
last night interpreted this an
nouncement as in no way
meaning that Carolina would
not be later picked by the Ar
my or the Navy and that this
list merely concerned techno
logical schools and schools that
were equipped to give training
that was needed immediately.
Later lists will be for types of
training that UNC could more
easily offer and it is felt that
we have a good chance of be
ing included on it.

There were three men on the

Syrian Came to Carolina
Because of Ciaarette Pack
By Sara Yokley
Back in 1938 in his home town
in Bierut, Syria, Gregory' Deeb
was debating where to go to
school. From his pocket he pull
ed a package of American cig
arettes labeled "made in the dis
trict of North Carolina."
"I'll bet you two beers," said
a friend, "that if you write the
University of North Carolina,
wherever that is, you'll get an
answer." Skeptical Deeb took
him up on the bet and within a
month a letter from Ben Hus
bands arrived. The friendly bet
resulted in his decision to ac
tually come to the University of
North Carolina.
The fall quarter of 1939 found
Gregory Deeb in Chapel Hill. He
stayed throughout the year,
spent two years at the Univer
sity of Colorado and returned
this fall as an instructor in the
political science department.
' "We Syrians get such a
strange impression of Ameri
cans," he said at an interview the
other afternoon, "for we know
America through its mission
aries, its business men, and Hol
lywood movies. Missionaries tell
us that Americans do not smoke
and never drink; business men
are too concerned with financial
operations to mingle with us
much; and Hollywood movies
leave us with the idea that
Americans fight their way
through life, bumping off anyone

Playmakers to Give
Carroll Original
In Experimentals
The 87th Bill of Experimental
Productions to be presented on
February 10, at 7 :30 will feature
a play by Walter Carroll, holder
of the Kay Kyser Scholarship in
drama, one by David Hanig of
New York, and a play of the West
Coast loggers by Doris Marso
lais, of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
Walter Carroll's play, "Look
Down" is a tragedy of a released
negro convict's attempts to read
just himself to a life subsidized
and patronized by a well-mean
ing white man. Last quarter Wal
ter Carroll's "De Lost John" was
produced on the experimental bill
and was later published in the
autumn issue The Carolina Play-
book. He has had four other plays
published by New York publish
ers.
"Give Us Time to Sing" by
David Hanig echoes the ache in
the hearts of the Little People of
the great city to sing the gentle
song of life, to be given time to
sing it. In a little shoe-shine par
lor he brings together the shoe
maker, the number-booky, the
vaudeville dancer, the baker, and
the girl, who demonstrates per
fume in a big department store,
to discuss their dreams in the
friendly atmosphere.

Self -Help Students
To Distribute DTH
The Publications Union Board,
in an unprecedented move, yes
terday abolished the position of
circulation manager of the Daily
Tar Heel, after a month of de
liberation upon ways to solve the
circulation bottle-neck.
, Marvin Rosen, Friday after
noon, gave his suggestion to Ben
Snyder, president of the board,
saying "The only real solution
to the circulation problem is self
help students and a circulation
manager would not be needed."
At their meeting, the board
members decided to follow Ros
en's advice. The new plan will
entail the hiring of two self-help
students and the use of two high
school boys, who were on the
former staff. All matters con
cerning circulation will be hand
led by the self-help boys, who
will also make deliveries. The
high school boys will take care
of out-of-town deliveries. The
self-help students will divide the
office work and the salary at
their own discretion. Business
Manager Bill Stanback will keep
check and rectify any errors
made.
Under the new plan, the pres
ent method of deliveries will be
continued. The paper will be de
livered to all campus buildings,
fraternities, and sororities by
the self-help students. For the
town students, the DTH will be
