Claude R. McMillan, president, announced this week that due to the tremendous amount of work in volved in the effort, the period will be extended until Nov. 21. . This move was made at the re quest of all chairmen of the various districts. No announcement of lead ers in membership in districts can be made this week. Purpose of the Alumni week is to contact the alumni personally, through the mail and by telephone. Five definite aims were set at the inception of the drive. They were: (1) To create interest in the University and the Associa tion; (2) to present the University's extraordinary service to the nation in this emergency; (3) to increase the active alumni membtrship; (4) to get up-to-date address s sent in to the Alumni office; (5' to learn more of what the alumni Sink of their University and their'' socia tion. Included ini alumni week at vities will be the Homecoming da and game tomorrow, which has ten dedicated to Carolina men in the service. Simple ceremonies will be held at the half, although there will be "no great show", Lewis said. This week, a letter from President J. Rion McKissick will go out to ail alumni on the mailing list. A different message will be sent to all alumni in the service. More than 20,000 pieces of mail have gone out this week. Co-eds are busy writing V mail letters and cards to be sent to alum ni in the service. Over 25,000 copies of the Gamecock will be sent out. Alumni luncheons have been held this week all over North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Char leston alumni highlighted their membership drive with a meeting attended by 34 men, who saw mov ing pictures of the Carolina Citadel football game, and heard talks by leaders of the association. Jackson, Fillingim See Press Meeting Hear Famed Journalists In Chicago Conferences Richard Kent Jackson, business manager of The Gamecock, and Vani Earl Fillingim, business manager of the Garnet and Black, returned this * week fronm Chicago where they rep resented their publications at the Na tional Intercollegiate Press Associa tion.

Before we begin we want to say that this is one of the best, if not L the best piece the players have done. In every play of this type there is always some person who wonders just what lifc is all about and wor ries because he can't improve or wipe out all the world's troubles. This character was convincingly fr portrayed by Jimmie Hill, who al- H ready had enough on his hands in di tiy'ig LO make love to one of the N chorus girls in the show. at The other lead part of Rosalind, ai was played by Jane Lloyal who gave Tommy (Jimmie Hill) the m well known brush-off for an Eagle Squadron flyer. Russel Ro Green was the slightly fatherly, slightly philosophical, and 01 very publicity wise manager of a th West End theater. He gave new tli life to a quite stereotyped character fr part, used in almost every present til day production. The heroic chorine who went so m bravely to her death in a London hc Pub, was well presented by Becky ni Wiley one of several newcomers to p, the player productions. c Comedy was adldedl by Kat nm Garner and Lucy Ann Tate who ti< played Mrs. Good and Gert; Miss se Garner played the part of slightly y( motherly, talkative and gin-guzz- se ling matron of the theater. Lucy Ie Tate p)layed the part of a very S bouncy bus-girl who continually crashed in and out with trays of mixed drinks, and coffee. Scenery for the play was much1 above usual Players standards. Sound effects, reproduced authentic recordlings of bombing of London, adlded much to the production. The only flaw in the sound effects was the old habit of picking up tele phones before they rang, which th seems rather psychic to an audience. yy The cooperation of a real telephone a might help.a Incoming Letters w Need Box Numbers Mrs. Nannie T.

In his book Dr. Callcott states tha or nearly a century and a quarte he diplomacy of the United State -evolved primarily around self pres ,rvation and westward expansior 7ron 1890 to 1920 a definite over ;eas program evolved. This new pro rrani naturally had its center in th< ;earby Caribbean which became rec gnized even by those European na ions with Caribbean colonies and in 'estments as a definite sphere of in luence of the United States. The new policy, he points out ould be applied to areas owned out ight, to protectorates, to essentiall3 ndependent nations, or to foreigi wned colonies. There was surpris ng consistency of policy regardless o be political party in power or thv iersonal inclinations of the nationa >r state leaders. It was founded ot lie basic principles which demande< he acquisition and defense of thi 3anama Canal and the control of it; trategic approaches for all militarn urposes. Political control of inde 'endent regions wvas exercised only vhen it was essential to the adequat< lefense of the area itself.
