Tham State Unit 'Greetings From Vienna A ustrian Group To Present M iisical Comedy Here Frid ay "I hope that some day in the not t too distant future the pro fits from, the Book Exchange will be devoted to scholarships avail able to all students, said vice- president Carmichael in his trus tee report on the supply store at State College. Although Carmichael was not available for comment at this writing, it is believed that such a scholarship fund would be on a similar basis as that at State. Profits of the Book X are trans ferred to the general mainten ance budget. They pay the sala ries of the faculty and staff, and help pay for the general upkeep of the physical plant, the' report said. Profits at State have gone . into student scholarships most ly athletic ones whereas here they go for salary arid main tenance. Earnings from ihe . Book X since 1944-45 are $459,883 as compared io Slates 5430.788. The Book X here pays no rent, no accountant fees. Employees are under the State retirement plan. ' As for book profits, here or in Raleigh, neither store make3 much money, says the report. Textbooks are priced by their publishers and only 20 percent of the retail price goes to the store. It costs between 11 per cent and 12 percent to 'handle textbooks. The profit is ob viously small' the report con tinues. ' . "Greetings from Vienna" will be presented by the third Aus trian Goodwill Group to North America at 8 o'clock Friday night in Memorial Hall. This musical comedy construct ed about a simple plot is the third program of the Austrian Students and Teachers' Group. . The first "Goodwill Tour" to North America was planned for 1939 but the annexation of Aus tria prevented the trip and caused the ' disbandment of the group; and its. offices went out of existance. After the war and liberation, offices were reestab lished and old plans for a tour to the USA were taken up. The first group arrived in New York in Nov., 1949. Members of the . groups are chosen from among hundreds of applicants. Most of them are youth leaders or future, teachers and will have a direct effect on removing "good will' from the "lip service" class and putting it into practice, for these groups will tell their fellow students, pupils, families, and friends, and organizations of America, a country and its people they Jmow thru first . hand ac quaintance and experience." . This personal introduction to the- social, economic, ethic and cultural aspects of the American way of life, learned from the fraternities, sororities, private homes, and other personal con tacts - formed the tours, is com plementing America's efforts to explain itself to Europe. . Tickets for the show are on sale at Danziger's, Y-court, and will go on sale at Lenoir hall, 75 cents for students and $1.00 for townspeople and others. vey s Pay Term e Made ci iu siiisaoie in Eteport o 3 rus'cees- Five Day Run Of Open To nag ht interset At 8:30 The pay of L. I. Ivey, manager of State College Students Supply Stores, is "justifiable," according to a joint report to the Board of Trustees and President Gordon Gray made by Vice-President W. D. Carmichael,' Jr. and J. G. Vann, business manager at State College. Ivey has received more pay than the total amount of scholarships given in the same period. In explaining Ivey's pay the report pointed out: that Ivey ; developed the business fromj "scratch." The purchase price of; his .stores was far too low (the controller -and J.G. Vann, State College Business Manager, believe $250,000 would have been a fair er price than $85,000), and that his present salary probably is the same as that earned before the college bought the store. Including this year's . earnings, Ivey will have received about $184,105, since 194445, making an average of $23,000. Scholar ships awarded since 194647 amount to $137,571 with 308 ath- etes and 72 non-athlete's receiv ing them. Carmichael " explained that Concert Slated Tonig t Hill hall will resound tonight with the combined voices of the Greensboro College .Glee Club and the tJNC's own Men's Glee Club iri their annual presentation of choral music at 8:30. The featured work on this pro gram will be the famous choral suite "Lincoln Lyrics" by. the contempory American composer George F. McKay. The Men's Glee Club will render composi tions by Arcadelt, Lvovsku, Sibelius, and Vaugn-Williams. The Greensboro Glee Club will perform a new r type : of choral composition, "Four. Songs ; for Wordless Chorus," featuring Beverly Ivester as soloist. : The public is cordially, invited to attend this concert. E. L.

" 5 ' ' ' Carefully planned stage sett ings, lighting and costumes will contribute to the cumulative tra gic effect of Maxwell Anderson's verse drama, "Winterset.". opening tonight at 8:30 in the Playmakers theatre. - ' Gene Graves, a graduate as sistant from San Diego, Calif., has designed the two settings wHh a view to transmitting to the audience the smallness of Ander son's characters amid the tower ing, mechanical shapes of New York's buildings. One setting re veals the interior of tenement shack, and the other represents an exterior scene on the bank of the East River, just below the Brooklyn Bridge. . So that the four actual changes of set will not delay the action, Graves has adapted the periactori device, popular in the ancient Greek .theatre, to suit the Play maker stage. This device uses a number of solid prismatic figures which may be rotated to produce new scenic effects. The buttresses of the bridge may thus be quickly transformed into wall or door ways. - Imaginative lighting for the production is arranged by Richard Snavely, a graduate assistant from Hagerstown, Md. Irene Smart, costumer for the Playmakers, has designed the cos tumes which, as in the case of scenery and lighting, contribute to the general mood which the playwright is establishing. -"Winterset" will have five even ing performances through Sunday and tickets are on sale during the day at Swain hall here and" will be available at the -theatre box office after 7:30 on performance nights., ' Phi Eta Sigma Initiates 60 Last night Chapel Hill-was la boring under its heaviest snow-, fail since 1947.
