Apple literary board of one of the most despicable of all published papers in America would causa a connection, utterly untrue, to arise, in the mind of little informed persons, between the University and a cheao scurlious Other magazine with an editorial board composed of Carolina men. It would be an excellent thing if the Tar Baby could make of their very questionable business manage ment one, worthy of the trust of the University and the State. And with this the proper time Will come for Carolina men of literary 'ability to make of its filthy pages the place of wholesome wit and humor. But today when the publication is well without the pale of decency Univer sity men would do well to watch their step less they get their feet muddy. MCLEAN IS PRESIDENT Officers Elected at Meeting.

Out of the entire lecture pro gramme of last year it would be dif ficult to say what one had the greatest value to the students of the University but it would not be hard to choose from the programme the lecture which most completely cap tured the imagination and interest of the student body. That distinc tion would go with little contention to John A. Lomax who made such a hit with his "Cowboy Songs and Ballads." We have a very vivid memory of standing at the back of Gerrard Hall with the uninteresting backs of many many heads between us and . the speaker and listening with rapt at' tention to the voice of the man we could not see reading, chanting, and singing the songs of the cow boy himself. All of us who have known the audiences that turn out for the lecturers brought to the Uni versity, can appreciate the wonder of the man who could hold an audience crowded all over the house from the open downstairs windows to the bal cony rails. Lomax held that crowd, and they left reluctantly when he had finished. He is coming to us again. This year he will read and sing "Negro Spirituals and Other Songs of the Negro Race." By reputation these are even more interesting than the cowboy songs. The lecture will be one of the most entertaining of the year and the fact that no admittance- will be charged will do much to crowd the hall. Every man who has heard Lomax be fore .will be there and those who have not heard him will do well to take advantage of this opportunity next Friday night. TAR BABY INC. Without anything definite having been done as yet, we understand that the Tar Baby Inc. is taking steps to secure a student editorial board composed of some of the best men on the campus in the field of literary activity. Such a thing would per haps mean a very essential improve ment in the very sad magazine of purloined smuttiness supposedly pub- Mother love, idealized, glorified and immortalized, is the theme of "The Sage Hen," the Edgar Lewis- Pathe feature which will be shown i at the "Pick" on Tuesday evening. This photoplay contains a depth of emotion and a breadth of appeal, the action taking place in the old West when the world's adventurers the best and the worst flocked to its hills in answer to the lure of gold. The lawlessness of those frontier days, a woman's struggle against un just and malicious persecution and the turmoil of a crude country are all depicited vividly and melodram atically. Gladys Brockwell, as the young mother fighting for her son, and later as the old mother pleading and then entirely effacing herself so that he may never know the story of his mother's disgrace, gives a superlative performance of "The Sage Hen." On Wednesday evening the beau tiful Marion Davies appears on the screen of the local show house in a Paramount picture, "Enchantment," directed by Robert Vignola. It is a story of a modern girl "flapper" who believes in having a good time and has it. Her parents cannot understand her, but she un derstands them in one word old fashioned. They are not quite so slow as she imagines, for when the father -decides to take her in hand he does so thoroughly. How the girl, Ethel, reacts to the regimen and what happens to the father's care fully laid plans, compose the high spots of the story. It is the best picture in which Miss Davies has been seen for a long time and it has an absorbingly interesting story. "Beyond," by the celebrated Brit ish play-wright, Henry Arthur Jones, featuring the blonde Ethel Clayton, will be the chief attraction at the "Pick" on Thursday night. Miss Clayton plays the role of Avis Langley, whose mother, at death's door, exacts a promise that she will watch over her wayward brother, Alec. The brother soon be gins his wanderings and Avis is hap pinly married to Geoffrey Southerne. Then comes a vision of the mother and pleads with Avis to find Alec and help him. After repeated vis ions she obeys this supernatural in fluence and goes in quest of her brother. Her mission is successful, but in returning, the ship upon which she is traveling is wrecked and ehe is the sole survivor, being washed up at a lonely island settlement.' It is months before she returns, and meantime', her husband, thinking her lost, marries again. '"The' wife re turns and finds this situation con fronting her. From, this, develops one" 6f 'the most' dramatic but pleas ing climaxes ever screened. Directed by William Christy Ca- banne, adapted from an original story by Dr. Daniel Carson Good man, noted screen author, "The Bar ricade" comes to the screen of the "Pirk" on Friday evening. The story is built around the ex periences of an elderly Hebrew who puts into practice his theories of love and human understanding. He takes an Irish boy, the son of his beloved partner, into his own home when the father dies and rears him as he would his own son. The boy, played with rare J. A. McLean' was elected presi dent of the N. C. Club Saturday night and W..A. Blount was: elected member of the awards committee to take the place of Robbins Lowe, who has left school.' " '. " , Other officers elected were C. M. Llewelyn, vice president; E. M. Sweetman, secretary, and Dr. Lawson permanent: treasurer. Practically every wearer of the N. C. was pres ent at the meeting and plans for the year's work were brought before the men. ' ' ,''""-' One of the main features of the campaign for the year is the pos sibility of holding a reunion of all (the wearers of the N. C. ' The mat ter is in the hands of a committee, and a report will be given by the committee before he next meeting 6f the club.' , f The organization is trying to get rooms m some building on the cam pus, but have so far been unable to find the necessary space, i In the plans for the Graham Memorial building, a headquarters for the club will have been provided. Pertinent Paragraphs All right, Tar Baby, you get into the game and then won't we be a happy little family? At forty dollars improvement per each, it seems that we should have self-starters on our telephones rather than cranks! ' ;'.'.' ' ' After viewing the S. C. game, we suggest that Perry be called "Sizzle" rather than "Sis." We see by the paper that Gompera is coming. Fine! We hope that will mean short study hours and grade and a half for over time. If a prof demands too much work, or does not put out good grades, or neglects to ' make his classes pleas ant, we can strike on him. And there never has been a teacher that could teach without students. It seems that some of the auto drivers are running a monopoly in restraint of trade. The editorial in the Charlotte Ob server of last Thursday on the Caro lina Magazine and especially on the article by C. Y. Coley entitled "Poli tics, Politicians and the Next Gover nor" is of great interest to the stu dents of the University in that it shows that their activities on the campus are being noted throughout the state, and that the people of the state are interested not merely in the actions of the officials of the University, but in student activities as well. There is to be a rehearsal of the Community Chorus Tuesday night, j 7:15, at the high school. of community development. Dean Carroll is gradually enlarg. ing the extension service of the School of Commerce. An invest ment service under supervision of Professor W. J. Matherly is being contemplated this year. From 9 students, the enrollment in correspondence courses has been increased and now numbers 111 stu. dents, 41 of which are working for degree credit. ' The lectures scheduled by the Ex tension Division and made by various members of the faculty numbered 61. A total of about 17,000 people were' reached in this manner. , The Graduate Club will hold its first meeting of this quarter Tues day, January 17th, in Phillips Hall. The University trustees will hold their mid-winter meeting January 24, in Raleigh. There will be a meeting of the University building committee in the president's office January 23rd. But this anarchy stuff is good ad vertising. Many more incidents of this knock-down-and-drag-out com petition, this destruction of property, and "Pendy" will need another buss to accommodate the crowd. 'Get Together" Keynote of Faculty, Students and Townspeople, Fea tured By Entertaining Talks. "Get together" was the key-note of a meeting of faculty, students, and town people of the Episcopal church held in the Parrish house Fri day night. Short talks were made by faculty members and students. Af ter the discussion, refreshments were served. The rector, Rev. Lawrence, opened the meeting with an announcement of its purpose. "As the University is growing," said Mr. Lawrence, "we are loosing that spirit of unity which we have enjoyed in the past and which we should have now." The purpose of the meeting was to dis cover what the church could do to remedy this condition that is detri mental to all phases of campus life. Dr. Bernard, Dr. Toy, Shackle, Thompson and Shepherd spoke on the matter. The result of the dis cussion was the formation of a com mittee whose purpose is to find the best means of shaping a club of all church members. Dr. Bernard was appointed chairman, and the mem bers are T. J. Wilson, III, T. H. Shepard, Thomas Turner, and R. L. Thompson, Jr. Other members will be added by the rector. Prof. G. M, Civil Engineering department, spent last Thursday in Raleigh in consul tation with State Highway Engineer Upham in regard to the co-operation of the University with the Highway Cimmission. L R. M.

Lake, two students in the Electric Engineering department, have received a signal honor from the Westinghouse Elec tric Co., of East Pittsburgh. These two men have been sent eight problems to work, as a preliminary examination for entrance to the Westinghouse Dynamo Design cass. Only five men in the United States were given the opportunity to take this examination, two being from Carolina, one from the University of Maine,' one from the University of Missouri, and the other from Renssalear Polytecnic, at Troy. The class is taught by B. G. Lam me, Chief of the Westinghouse Co., of East Pittsburgh, and only a very limited number of men are permitted to take the course. It is the usual thing for the men who are chosen to be graduate students, and to have been in the employ of the Westing house Co. for at least twelve to fif teen months. The two. men from here have worked for the Company for the last two summers, and their record made was so high that this honor has been awarded them. This class goes to form a nucleus of a corp of Designing Engineers of the Westinghouse Co. Say, ain't Woodrow getting inti mate with the Di? He ended his recent letter, "With the season's best wishes." Evidently he meant the Valentine season. "Tag football" is getting to be the popular sport, what's next, drop the handkerchief? EXTENSION BUREAU HERE HAS DONE GREAT WORK (Continued from Page One.) "The Italians of the United States" have given the University a book valued at five hundred dollars. They must have bought it at the Book Ex change. After last year's experience, cusses, and tears, we should think that the campus cabinet would lay off this election reform stuff. ITEMS OF INTEREST Director made a series of trips and personal visits to practically all towns and cities of the State, explaining the several lines of extension service to the people through their local or ganizations. During the year Mr. E. R. Rankin, Associate Director, held State-wide championship contests in football, basketball, track, and tennis. Two hundred high' schools in ninety-two counties took part in the ninth an nual contest of the High School De bating Union. The faculty of the School of Edu cation rendered a great deal of as- sistance to the State public schools during the year. Dr. E. W. Knight is teaching the first extension class for credit ever organized by the Uni versity. This class meets at Hills- boro and has an enrollment of 65. The Bureau of Public Discussion registered, during the past twelve months, 133 women's clubs studying official programs written by members of the faculty. The Package Library Section sent out, in response to re quests, 1,388 package libraries. Professor Koch, who is in charge of the work of the Bureau of Com-1 Engineering Department Gets Wiring Contract. The Electric Engineering Depart ment has been awarded the contract for the wiring of dormitories C and D of the quadrangle, now in the 'course of construction. It will be remembered that a similar contract was awarded the department some time ago for the wiring of sections A and B, and that the award will mean the saving of a large amount of money by the University, and that the money expended for the work will go te the students who are to do the work. Work has already begun, and some of the wiring has been done in all four of the buildings. Prof. J. E. Lear has charge of the work, and the students are working under his direction.
