Jl J McBRAYER WINSlTHE SHAKESPEARIAN CELEBRATION TO TAKE PLACE TUESDAY ON HILL Performance to be Staged on Campus Be ll tween Chemistry Hall and Episcopal Church University of Kentucky Man Has Best Speech TRINITY MAN IS SECOND McBrayer to Represent the South - Atlantic Group in Peace Oration Contest In a spirited contest Friday night J. J. McBrayer! of the Uni versity of Kentuckf won first place as orator in the South At lantic group in the Inler-Collegi-ate Peace Association Oratorical Contest. And W, R. She ton of Trinity College, N. C. was chos en as second best speaker. Mr. McBraver's subject 'was "Ameri ca and the Evolution of Peac. ;'' Mr. Shel ton's, "Some Biologic il Aspects of War." ' This contest, the first of its kind ever held in Chapel Hill, was held to decide the : peaker who should represent the South Atlantic Group in the Peace Con test, which is to .be; held at La ke Molionk, N. Y., very soon. The speakers appearing; in the con test iiere were: J. J. McBrayer, of the University of Kentucky; W. II. Norton, of the Virginia Christian College; jW. A. ' Sel horst j f I .oyola-' College? .-Md . ; and . R Shelton, of Trinity College, N. C. Mr. Norton's sub ject was "The Price of Peace;" and Mr Selnorst spoke on "A Plea for Over-Government." The orations were unusually spirited and, on the whole were excellent. The contest was very close and interesting- from the start, and it was only after long deliberation that the judges de1 cided for Messrs. McBrayer and Shelton. The judges were Messrs. Foerster, Moss, Bell, Roberson, and Pierson. In brief Mr. McBrayer's ora tion on America and Evolution of Peace, is as follows: "In every heart there is a de sire for peace universally and individually. America has done two thing's to help to bring on peace for the world: (1) Built up On Tuesday May 8, theShake spearian celebration will take place. The performance will be staged on that part of the cam pus between Chemistry building and the gate to the Episcopal church yard. Everybody is in- : - - which has decided 250 cases that would 'probably'. have resulted in war had they not been arbitrat ed before this Tribunal. But we have not done enough. We must expound international law, and enforce international justice Coordination of nations is becoming the duty of civilisa tion and unconsciously a move is being made to this end. This tends to a coalition of all nations which, when completed, will tend to combine the world into three powerful world powers, and over which, one great man's and one power's influence could avert war between the other two, force peace and exact law aud justice in short, make war impossible. This is the final step towards peace. Selfish nationalism is dis appearing and now, that Europe is tiring of the war, she and all other nations are tending towards universal peace.; In speaking on ".Some Biolog. ical Aspects of War" 'Mr. Shelton said, in brief: War is murder, even when sanctioned by the state and na tion. It is devoid of serious sci entific explanation. It merely exposes the prime of the nation to death and disaster and leaves a weak and infirm remnant at home to propagate a weak and sickly progeny. War takes the intelligence of a nation and leaves only what it cannot use in its destruction. "" The biological reaction of war is damage beyond repair. War kills 30 per cent of the soldiers; leaves only weaklings at home, such a powerful machine of srov-1 qo5 ner cent of whom breed eminent that -war seemed unpos-j their kind. sible; (2) Aided in the establish-1 "Let the peace of today prc ment of the Hague . Tribunal, i serve, the ),abes tomorrow." game for the 48 Applications To Ogehorpe Forty-eight.- men have applied for the 12 scholarships to Fort Oglethorpe. NOTICE ! All Students wishing to occupy the same dormitory room for the Fall Term will please call at the Treasurer's office before May 20th and sign for same. Af ter this date the rooms will be given to the applicant as shown by the list in the office, J, A, WARREN, Treasurer. 1 4 jgggj viled. No admission will be charged. The program of the occasion will be a rather elaborate one. On the cover will appear the Droushout portrait of Shakes peare. Drawings representing scenes from the plays will appear in the program. This program, which will be well worth having as a souvenir of the occasion, will be sold for a small sum, pos sibly 25 cents. Perhaps the plan of the , cele bration is still very vague to many. The performance will be divided into two parts. The first part will be composed , of scenes selected from . various pla3s of which the characters represent various classes of English society of Shakespeare's own day. It is the aim of the. producers to give by means of the selected scenes an adequate idea of English life of the time when Shakespeare was writing. Rustics, shep herds, shepherdesses, . rustic dancers,' may-pole dancers, sok diers and even the bluff old Jack Fiylstaff -with Jiis companion Prince Hal will be among the characters appearing in the first part. Scenes have been selected from "The Winter's Tale," "As You Like It," and from "Henry IV." - Part two will be entitled "Shakespeare's Art." By a se lection of scenes from "The Mid summer Night's Dream," "Ham let," and "The Tempest," the progress of dramatic art from the crude performances of mech anics and laborers to the concep tion of drama as shown in Ham let's speeches will be shown. .' ; CLASS OFFICERS ELECTED Band, Coatee, and Fitzsisnmons Presi dents of Classes The class political cups boiled over Wednesday after noon and resulted in the election of the following officers for next year: Freshman Class Owen Fitz slminons of Charlotte, president; R.
