Parkei Thinks S.C. Now Favors Such Action Asks For Cooperation Native South Carolinian, L. N. A. Field Representative, Pleads Cause In Address By Philip Sabbagha "I feel South Carolina is in favor of joining the League of Nations, however no action has yet been taken by the state," declared Commander Thomas D. Parker, U. S. Navy, retired, before an audience in Drayton Hall, Monday night. Commander Parker is a South Carolinian, a native son of Abbeville, who has upon his retiring from the U. S. Navy, dedicated his life to the cause of the League of Nation's Association throughout the country. Representing the national headquarters of the association, he addressed approximately 1,000 people while in Columbia, including five or six student classes at the University. Commander Parker was introduced by Bishop Kirkman G. Finlay, chairman of the local board of the association. Dean J. Nelson Frierson of the law school, who is greatly interested in the movement, commented on the importance of the address. Commander Parker reviewed the arguments against the joining of the League. "There is the argument against the League that we better not get ourselves mixed up with Europe," he said "The fact is we have already become mixed up with Europe. The question is at the moment, 'How shall we regulate that entanglement.' "Then there arc those who say 'We don't want to send our troops to fight European wars.' We all know that we don't have to do this. The league settled the Japanese trouble without troops. Moreover, we could make reservations, if we joined the league, not to send our troops to settle disputes. "Lastly, some say that the league is seltish. This is not so. A great majority of the citizens of Europe want to make some concessions toward a common end. They don't want another war i that might be the breakdown of western ' civilization." Commander Parker pointed out, with reference to the work of the league, that "Half a loaf is better than no bread at all." lie pointed out also that the league has stopped more than one war, and has squashed approximately thirty disputes. "I am not a pacifist," emphasized Commander Parker. "I don't believe in weakening America to strengthen the league. There's no reason why we can't have preparedness and prevention at the same time." He also declared that through the co-operation of those interested in the peace movement through the league of Nations, a resolution will be presented at the coming session of Congress that the United States join the league.

Grain and Smooth Calfskins ,-ji :/l, il- > * r Urge Mac beth Leads Tragedy List Norwood Gives Opinions Professor Declares Othello Is Only Play To Surpass It In Dramatic Qualities i "Macbcth is probably the best of the J Shakespearean tragedies for acting, ( with one exception," remarked Joseph j Norwood, associate professor of English and lecturer on Shakespearean , drama at the University, in an interview recently. Professor Norwood ( added that in his opinion Othello is the | only one that can be said to surpass ; Macbcth from a purely dramatic stand- | point. The Tragedy of Macbeth, one of Shakespeare's great tragedies, will be produced by the Town Theater under the direction of Bel ford Forrest during the first week in December. > "It is an easy play to watch because 1 everything is centered around the two leading characters, Macbeth and Lady 1 Macbeth," he continued. "Macbeth is, < however, much the stronger character, s You will lose the sense of the play if I you interpret it as if Macbeth is under the dominance of Lady Macbeth. I ( read it as if lie is a man at war with I himself; Ladv Macbeth being single- f minded and single-hearted is able to give him the necessary push at the supreme * moments. "The latter part of the play is a mag- ' nificent study of the deterioration of t the character of a great man. Macbeth's t remorse comes in the form of horrible (I imaginings which destroy his peace of I mind and make him wish for death." t "In many ways the play is a good l Elizabethan melodrama, a murder story, s It had a strong appeal to the spectators during the Elizabethan era," lie said. i "The atmosphere of the play is more s strongly conveyed and inspired than in e any other?the atmosphere of horror be- 1 ing carried out partly by the witches, by darkness, and by constant references to blood," he said in conclusion. As one of the reasons for the dramatic 1 appeal of the play, the professor men- ' tioned the striking scenes, of which the 1 best known are the murder scene, the ' one in which a drunken porter imagines himself as keeper of the gate to hell, and ' the banquet scene, at which the ghost a of Macbeth's former closest friend, Ban- ' <|tio, appears before the murderer. s Many University students and two pro- 1 fessors are cast in the play. The chief student role is that of the porter, being played by Ira Koger, law student. Pro- ? fessor E. C. Coker, professor of Math- . ematics, is acting the part of Duncan, the slain king; and Dr. Isadore Schayer, professor of hygiene and sanitation, the part of the doctor who is caring for , Lady Macbeth before she dies in the latter part of the play. George Adams, . an assistant in the department on English, also has a part. N The following additional University . students have already been given parts: , Herbert Schreider, Katherine Nary, Harold Funderburk, and A1 Clark. ?u. 8. o.? ready the league association is sponsor- t. ing co-operative action in the form of t petitions signed by those interested in the peace movement, urging Congress to reinforce the league's contribution to peace by stating the terms under which full membership woidd be possible; and 1 by appointing in the meantime an of- t licial diplomatic representative to the t League of Nations to participate in its t deliberations. < Already the Supreme Court of South < Carolina has signed the petition, and likewise Governor Blackwood. t CORONA THREE ? ?
