GERMAN CLUB ANNOUNCES
Chapel Hill, N. C, Friday, February 9, 1923
GARBER-DAWS SECURED
FOR THEJASTER DANCE
Popular Orchestra Will Bring
Joyful Strains to Carolina
for Spring Hops.
CAPABLE DANCE LEADERS
For the first time in the history of the
University the well known Garber-Davis
music- makers will visit Chapel Hill.
No orchestra is so much talked of or
so long desired. Their encasement, for
April 5, 0, and 7, brings joy and spells
prolonged happiness on the bill at Easter
tide.
No orchestra in the South has ipiite
the reputation for combined and indi
vidual talent that has made Garber
Davis famous. Wherever Garber plays
dancers uuswer the call of the Pied
1'iper and gather to hear bim. It is
understood that seven other college en
gagements were open to Garber for
Kaster.
It is generally admitted that the Easter
Hops at the University are always the
best of the year. Everything is favor
able in this year of grace 1023 to sur
pass by far any dances ever held on
the hill. Despite politics it is said that
never has Carolina had a more capable
and entirely representative group of lead
ers. Never before has Garber-Da vis been
i tiii ....
iu v impei rim ana in tue warm glow
of the Easter evening as the winter re
cedes and the flowers and trees about
historic old alma mater begin to bud
and burst into bloom, then verily will
many alumni say happily "It is my own
University."
No one will be admitted to the dances
unless he is a student, alumnus or facul
tas of the University. As the gymnasium
will be used for all but one of the dances,
it will be impossible to admit outsiders
because "Doc Luwson's gym" is entirely
too small for present demands. Stu
dents attending the dances are requested
to remind their friends at other institu
tions of this. As usual freshmen will
not be allowed to attend.
The opening dunce will be given iu
the gym by the Gimghouls Thursday
night.- Only juniors and seniors will lie
admitted. Tench Coxe will be leader,
John T. Gregory and Bobbie Harden as
sistant leaders. As a lead oft", this is
honked to be among the best ever given
Worth ltedwine will lead the "Junior
I'rom" with Arthur Tendon and Winton
Green bis assistant leaders Friday night
The ".Sophomore Hop" comes Saturday
afternoon with "Doc" Wiuiberly leading,
Dick Thorpe and Jack Lane assistant
leaders.
The Minotuurs (Bulls) have not yet
elected their leaders ; their dance comes
Friday morning. Friday afternoon the
Gorgon's Head, a junior order, gives its
dance at Gorgon's Head Lodge.
Saturday night will mark the climax
with the Spring German, the last dance,
led by Newsome Battle, with his assist
ant leaders Neal Yanstory and Edgar
Engstrmu. Other orders have not turn
ed in complete reports but it is expected
that other dances than those named will
be given. Several bouse parties are
planned and the attending girls this
spring will of course be as good as can
be had.
As usual the laws of the student body
mm i ue university will le observed re
garding drinking at the dances, l'lcdge
cards must be signed by all except alumni
There will be no police system instigated
to see that proper conduct is held at the
dances. Carolina men will be on their
honor. The charges will be as low as
possible for the only dances that will
be script.
SELF-HELP MEN SHOULD
BE ALLOWED TO CANVASS
DORMITORIES SAYS T
Cabinet Goes on Record as Op
posing Drastic Restriction of
Student Enterprises.
APPEALS TO STUDENTS
Number 32
Drastic measures were taken bv the Y
M. C. A. cabinet last -Monday night
against the action of the University Sup
erintendent of Buildings in reviving a
rule, neglected for 15 years, which for
bids the canvassing of the dormitories
with any article whatsoever for sale
without a special permit from that of
ficer. Superintendent Burch, the ollicer in
question, revived this rule primarily be
cause of complaints coming to him from
various sources against the sellinn- of
sandwiches, cakes and fruit in the dor
mitories every night. Gooch's Cafe is
aiiid to have complained because this
business was being carried on in com
petition to it without paying taxes.
Several students are also said to have
complained to Mr. Burch about "being
bothered too much by peddlers."
The "Y" cabinet found that this action
is throwing many a heretofore prosper
ous self-help student out of a job. and
that some of them face leaving school
unless the privilege is restored. The
cabinet placed itself on record as in
favor of some slight restriction, such as
allowing only one student with a cer
tain article to handle a certain building,
but special permits giving one man a
monopoly in one held and preventing
other helds from canvassing at all was
not to be tolerated, the cabinet said.
"For instance," it was argued, "how
can one student be allowed to canvass
for shoes to be repaired, and another
prevented from canvassing with food."
A committee with G. Y. Ragsdale as
chairman was appointed to investigate
the proposition and to present it to the
student body in chapel Friday morning

The scheduled games are with Asheville
School Friday night, Bingham Saturday
afternoon, and Ashevillo High Saturday
night. All three teams are expected
to be fullv as strong as any which
the freshmen have met so far, and are
likely to bring forth some fast playing.

the first game are Milstead and John
ston, forwards; Devin and Buchanan,
guards, and Cobb, center. Three other
substitutes and Coach Alexander will
make up the rest of the partv.
Two hundred and thirty-nine more students than one year
ago, 427 more than two years ago.
Expected increase in next two years, at least 50c.
Completed in last two years: Four dormitories, housing
480 students altogether; Saunders Hall, a classroom building
for history, commerce, economics, rural social science, and
public welfare; 14 residences for faculty; reconstruction of
Memorial Hall to make it a good auditorium; a railway spur

Number of high school graduates in North Caro.lina doubled
from 1916 to 1919, and doubled again from 1919 to 1922. Will
reach between 5,000 and 6,000 this next summer, creating great
pressure upon the University and the colleges of the State.
Minimum needs of the University in next two years : Three
men's dormitories housing 360 students altogether; a dormi
tory for women, housing 75 ; three teaching buildings chemis
try, geology, general; a permanent water supply; renovation

BULLETIN OF EXTENSION
DIVISION JUST ISSUED
"How Farm Tenants Live," by
uicKey and Branson Uncovers
Sad Realities of Rural Life.
SUGGESTS SOME REFORMS
THE FEBRUARY NUMBER
ALUMNI REVIEW ISSUED
The Budget requests of the University of North Carolina, laid before
the Budget Commission of the state by President Chase, called for $2,317,
380 for building during the biennium and $765,040 for maintenance for
1924-25.
The Budget Commission replied with a recommendation that $1,650,000
(a cut of $667,380) be given for buildings, and $675,000 (a cut of $90,040)
be given for maintenance for 1924-25.
Since that time a controversy has come up among the political leaders
of the state over the condition of the state's finances. The Budget Com
missions takes the side that Governor Morrison defends, to-wit, that there
is at present a surplus of two and one-half million dollars in the State
Treasury. Opposing this, and apparently backed with one of the state's
strongest Democratic papers, are Mr. Maxwell and others, who assert that
there is at present a deficit of five million dollars in the State Treasury.
There is pending an investigation by the Legislature to determine which
of these interpretations is correct.
Th Budget Commission, in its recommendations for appropriations, was
acting on the assumption that there is a surplus in the Treasury at the
present time. The majority of the papers in the state have expressed
their belief that the Budget Commission and the Governor are right in
their interpretations, and public opinion seems to tend this way, many
believing that the figures of Mr. Maxwell are the basis of a grand politi
cal plot and conspiracy, aimed at the present Democratic administration.
Yet, in spite of this attitude, the Budget Commission, slashed the Uni
versity Budget requests to such an extent that this institution will be
crippled and handicapped in an immeasurable degree in its expansion and
growth if it does not reconsider its recommendations, and this stunting
of its growth goes right back to the heart of the state, itself.
If the Treasury of the state is in a sound condition, and if the assump
tion of the Budget Commission is correct, the Tar Heel believes, as was
editorially pointed out in last issue, that the state could make no greater
mistake than in refusing to give what the University has requested.
Every dollar of it goes to fulfill a need, the importance of which cannot
be overestimated. Every dollar of it will be spent wisely and judicially,
just as every dollar that has already been spent in the great building
program started here. Every dollar is a sound financial investment for
the state.
"The Extension division of the Uni
versity of North Carolina has just is
sued a bulletin Hint contains enough
iLi.11 ci.i-iiaiuite to blast the Stiite out
of the sedimentary accretion of three
centuries, were that dynamite properly
placed and detonated. The title of the
bulletin is 'How Farm Tenants Live,'
and it is the joint product of J. A. Dickey
and E. C. Branson, Mr. Dickey doing
the field work and Mr. Branson evident
ly doing the bulk of the writing."
Thus tlie Greensboro News greeted the
appearance of the University bulletin
which has called forth almost as much
editorial comment throughout the State
as Colonel Watts. Mr. Dickey investi
gated every tenant farmer in the Bald
win and Williams townships in Chat
ham county, conditions there being typi
cal of the whole State. He found that
the :S white renters in those two town
ships were supporting their families 011
an average yearly income in 1921 of
$251, or M cents a person per-day. For
the croppers the average was $ir,3 a
year for each family, and 8 cents a day
for each person.
The Asheville Citizen makes the fol
lowing comment on the bulletin:
"While we are building more good
roads, why not build more good people?
Ihere are in this State 317,000 persons
who, if they are not to be an insupport
able weight on the advancement of North
Carolina, have got to have better bodies
and better equipped minds. They are
the families of the 03,000 white farm
tenants in the State, some of whom live
on a cash income of 8 cents per person
per day. The renters, those who own
their work stock and implements, have
for themselves and families an average
daily cash income of 14 cents per person
The 8-cent men are the croppers, who
are staked to everything by their laud
lords. Walter Page called them the
'forgotten men'."
The investigation extended to every
phase of the tenants' lives. The bulletin
discusses such subjects as the homes that
farm tenants live in, health conditions
schools and school influence, churches
and church influence, and what farm
tenants read. Not content merely to
point out the present evils, the authors
conclude the bulletin with constructive
suggestions for the improvement of the
lot of Carolina's landless farmers, the
"forgotten men."

The concert to be given in (Jerrard
Hall next Monday night by Arthur fjihut-
tuck is the first nppearance of a really
great pianist iu (.'Impel Hill since the
founding of the University. Mr. Shnt-
tuck easily ranks among the world's
greatest pianists, and is generally con
sidered to be the greatest of living
American pianists.
Sir. Shattuck is a "typical American,"
insofar as a genius can be "typical". Iu
his early teens he was sent abroad to
study in the studio of the great Les
ehetitzky, in Vienna. At twenty, he
made his debut as an artist with the
Koyal Orchestra of Copenhagen at one
of the palace concerts, and was hailed
as an extraordinary success. Since thut
tune ho has played in all the nrincimil
cities of Europe, the Bulkans, and
Egypt. He has just come to America
from a tour in England and the Scan
dinavian countries.
In addition to being a musical genius,
he is a talented artist, and a versatile
linguist, speuking live languages besides
English.
His program for Monday evening is
a varied one, including selections from
Bach and Chopin, and a group of modern
compositions. A huppy and somewhat
unusual feature of his program will be

JUNIOR ORATORICAL
The Junior Oratorical preliminar
ies for the selection of two repre
sentatives each from the Di and Phi
Societies will be held Monday night
at 7:30 o'clock in the respective so
ciety halls.
Only members of the Junior class
are eligible to enter the try-outs.

The banquet to be given by the New
iork Alumni Association the latter part
of this week promises to prove of interest
to the student body here. This Alumni
chapter, which is probably the largest
in the country, numbering some 300
members, has not been very active iu
the last few years, and this large meet
ing is for the purpose of reorganization.
Alumni from various parts of the
country have been invited to nttend,
among whom are representatives from
Chicago, and Philadelphia and other large
Ivorthen cities. W. S. Bernard, nro-
fessor of Creek, has been invited to at
tend from here, being requested to tell
the Northern Association just what the
University is doing now and what it
expects to do in the near future. He
is taking plans and blue prints of the
campus, showing the improvements an,l
growth of the past few years, especially
during the time which has elapsed since
the war.
The progress of this meeting is to be
broadcasted over (be country by the
Itadio Company, which shows the meet
ing to be one of no small importance.
The weight of ail this prepnnition is to
fall on the legislature of (his State jii

building and maintenance appropriation.
BLUE RIDGE PROGRAM
IS GIVEN IN CHAPEL
The Blue Uidge Club, which was in
charge of chapel exercises .Monday morn
ing, gave an interesting program con
sisting of talks by some of the members
of the club who were at Blue Uidge last
summer. After a few remarks by
Chairman Foushee, P. II. Edwards told
of Carolina's part in the activities at
the camp, and the benefits to be derived
from attending the meeting at Blue
Uidge. "The object of the camp is two
fold," be said, "recreution and education.
For recreation games of all kinds were
played and in the final score Carolina
held second place." Speeches by such
men as Sherwood Eddy, M. J. Ashman,
and James .Meyer afforded entertainment
and instruction.
Allan McGhee, the next speaker, told
about the athletic side of the work and
the wonderful spirit exhibited by the
participants. "We have launclied a
canipaign to assure the presence of a
larger delegation next summer," he said.
There were -15 Carolina men at Blue
Uidge last year. The last speaker, J.
M. Saunders, spoke of the outstanding
features of the ramp, which were attend
ance, athletics and good fellowship
among those present.
