The play, a moralistic drama with a modern political back- ground, dtals with the evils of Communism. The plot centers around U Po Lone, Burmese Home Minister, whose vices make him unworthy of hig position and a danger to his party and to the democratic government in his country. In a discussion of Communism among visitors in Po Lone's house, LT Tun says, "Democracy gives .nan his dignity . . . Put the two ideologies together before the peo- ple and they are bound to choose Democracy every time. That's why we need have no fear that Com- munism will prevail U Mone answers, "Not if the leaders on Democracy's side be- come depraved . . . debauched leaders can never fight Commun- ism, they can only pave the way for it This idea voiced by U Mone is leveloped in the career of U Po Lone, drunkard, briber gambler, and seducer of women. Dr. Withey To Direct Dr. J. A. Withey, Director of the Playhouse, became interested m the drama by the statesman-play- wright during 1960-1961 when he was a Fulbright scholar in theat- er arts at the University.of Man- dalay. His rexniest to give the play its ipremiere in tlhe United States was 'granted by U Nu in December. Rehearsals began in late January. Diket Plays Lead "The Wages of Sin" will be n resented here with a cast of more than thirty students and two faculty members. Dr. Albert Diket, faculty member of the social studies department, who has had experience with (the New Orleans Little Theater and with semi-pro- fessional groups in Washington, D. C, is cast in the leading role of U Po Lone. Costumes for the production by Mrs. Lois Garren of Greenville, follow designs of the Burmese na- tional dress. Scenery is based on original plans by Dr. Withey. In the interest of authenticity, Daw Mya Sein, Burmese educator, historian, and former representa- tive to the United Nations, will act as consultant to the Playhouse for four days preceding the open- ing performance.

Jenkins con- He has brought prestige to EC U On Sein firmed the rumor that he is being considered for the Presidency of the University of South Carolina. He commented in an interview yesterday morning, "I have had correspondence from and confer- ence, with a representative of a committee seeking a new Presi- dent for the University of South Carolina and I would not like to comment beyond that point at this time Chairman of tihe EC Board of Trustees, J. H. Waldrop related, "Dr. Jenkins has done an excell- ent Job since he has been here and is making real progress for the college. We hope he will not con- sider a change at this time. He has the support of the Board of Trus- tees, the faculty and the student body of the college Dr. Jenkins assumed the EC Presidential duties January 5, 1960. He has served on the ad- ministrative staff since 1947, he ias been with the college during its years of remarkable growth nnd expansion.

AST CAROLINIAN Tuesday jp, Would Surely Benefit Any College BCs Rumor e dL OSS Astonishes C Voting procedures, library noises, and other aspects of a college community seem rather trivial when we start to calculate the meaning of losing an enthusiastic and energetic leader (we are at loss for words when we try to describe him and his importance to us) East Carolina's President, Dr. Leo W. Jenkins. Although rumors were only confirmed to the effect that he had conferred with members of a committee "which is seeking a new president for the University of South Caro- lina we are afraid that it is true that he is being considered for the presidency from a narrowing number of able men. Were Dr. Jenkins to accept this position, South Caro- lina would acquire a great man with an exttra sense of per- ception that enables him to understand immediately the basic needs of students, faculty, and a college staff. And with this understanding, he posseses the drive to accomplish the ends to such needs. These things he has displayed here, and would surely benefit any campus. East Carolina faces the possibility of losing a leader who has already achieved much for the school. The name of East Carolina he has carried beyond the immediate area across the state, the Souith, and the nation. We have seen our college gain prestige among educators, politicians, laymen, and parents in the short two years that he has been in office. Among the many projects now underway that we can attribute to him are entrance into the Southern Conference, a stadium befitting a school of the Conference, a widely ac- claimed head football coach, investigation into a fraternity and sorority row, and a long list which could continue for pages. This sudden announcement of a possible resignation leaves us to wonder what will become of these projects, yet unfinished. However, the progress of our school that we can attribute to Dr. Jenkins remains we are grateful. Should he decide to go, East Carolina's loss will be im- mense and the University of South Carolina's gain will be great. We are flattered to think the University is considering our President, but we will be more than flattered if he re- mains with us. Our efforts here to depict the importance oij Dr. Jenkins to us are meager, but well meant in spite of their failings.
