Students Endorse N ew Council T lan FORUM IS HELD Leaders of Both Sides Forcibly Express Their Opinion ; POLITICAL ELEMENT PROMINENT It U Asserted That a New Political Machine Has Already , Assigned -Offices For Next Two Years. The proposed plan for separate elec- liou of Student Councilmen which was submitted to a student referendum yes knlay, was passed by a vote of 673 to 312. According to the newly adopted plan the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes will be represented on the Stu dent Council by men elected to the of fice instead of ex-offlcio . by the class president as has obtained heretofore. The culmination of discussion was reached' Thursday night at a student forum" in Gerrard Hall. Lee Kennett, prominent among the insrgents, opeued (he meting with a detailed outline of the history of the bill, ''.tracing it from its beginning in the Di Senate up to the time of his speech. A remarkable ac count of its various trials and ramifica tions was presented. W. T. Couch, editor of the Carolina Maaazmt. then spoke at considerable length in opposition to the proposal. His speech was a comprehensive summing up of ail derogatory arguments previously advanced. Chief among them was the stressing of the point 'that not enough real leaders were present on the campus to fill the offices if they should be passed upon and created. Mr. Couch also stat ed that he had profound confidence in tlie men now sitting on 'the council and was convinced that their work would continue to be more than satisfactory if they were retained. , From these argu ments he lapsed into a discussion of the political side of the affair. "Of course this motion, was originated for political reasons," he said. "The men behind It realise that the only way 'to combat a political gang .was with another political gang." .'.' S. G. Chappell then spoke forcibly in defense of the. v plan, saying that Mr. Couch's remarks had been wholly irrel evant to the subject at hand. According to his way of thinking the widespread interest manifested , in the proposed change showed that the present' system must have serious faults; otherwise a motion to change it would not have been accorded such support and approval. In answering certain of the incumbent coun cilmen who were also class presidents and yet claim that they have time enough to handle both offices he said that it was not the time spent but the things ac complished which counted and intimated that real accomplishments under the ex isting regime had been few. "There has been much talk about the separation of the executive and judicial," he pointed out. "Until now class officers have not been executive and the student council has not been judicial; in fact 'no one kuows exactly what they have been." In reference to the political issue he said that he saw nothing wrong with a politi cal machine as long , as the machine did not attempt to become dictatorial, ad ding that last years group had been ob jectionable on that ground. -w Fred Parker, another supporter of the (Continued on pagt four) BREACH TOSING HERE TOMORROW Varied Program Will Exhibit Mr. Breach's Fine Voice FORMERLY TAUGHT HERE Will Be Seventh of Music Department's Sunday Concerts.

The Old Dominion inatmen started their North Carolina tour Thursday light with a 15 to 6 win over the N. C. State wrestling team.

ENTERTAINING SPEAKER Lectures in Gerrard Hall Wednesday Thursday and Friday at 8:30. Hon.; J. Stitt Wilsoil comes to the Hill for a series if 'addresses beginning at Chapel, Wednesday the loth.. The president's office Is granting convocation privilege on that day, which means that there will he no classes until 11 30 o'clock ami that the Chapel peridd will be given over to Mr, Wilson's mass meeting. C'iiupel will begin at the usual hour and in the usual manner, but with spec ial invitation to all the remainder of the student body, and faculty and com munity to hear Mr, Wilson. Postponing the 11 o'clock classes until 11:30, allow ing a full hour for Chapel, will enable him to deliver his complete opening ad dress. It is only on special occasions and for speakers of the first order that this eon vocal ion privilege is granted. It is in these terms, therefore, that the cam pus is reminded of the significance of the occasion uu'd urged that no one fail to hear Mr. Wilson in his opening ad dress. He will speak also Thursday and Friday at Chapel and the three evenings Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 8:30 in Gerrard Hall. Mr., Wilson is Jby profession a lawyer. For two terms he was mayor of Berke ley, California. He has been prominent in political and church circles for many years. For the past six years he has given several months each year , to lec turing in the colleges and universities of the country. - Mr. Wilson is a distinctly' unique type of speaker with a style and method that never fails to hold the 'attention nnd thought of his audience upon the course of his address. He lias the remarkable faculty of so making the commonplace things of life live before your eyes that he does not have to resort to the use of sensational or freak information or high pressure data to carry his audience with him. Almost any speaker of average platform ability can assemble a . batch of sensational and high pressure infor mation on certain emotional topics, and entertain tin audience, but after all it is among, by,., and upon the commonplace things that humanity daily lives and moves and he who can put form and voice in this 'commonplace so as to make it vivid and clear before our eyes is the true artist. It is Mr. Wilson's favorite custom to get close to his audience, and he will walk ui and down the aisles as he speaks and asks '.questions. One thing those who have heard, him guarantee to the campus that no man who attends his lectures will be aide to sleep through them, nor will he for one moment find his mind wandering from the subject in hand. '.-,. Some two or three scores of Carolina men who have heard Mr. Wilson are t declaring to (he Hill that he is. their first choice at this time from among a long list of available speakers, almost all, of whom are men of great promi nence. I Ie is liked first for his genu iness, his sincerity, his intellectual hones ty and liberality, and for the. scholarly and masterful way in which he handles his subject and deals with Ills audience. All Carolina men ore especially invited to hear him for the full six times. WANT CHASE FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF OREGON UNIV. Flattering Offer Is Made the President by Trustees of Institution. IS TO BE GONE A MONTH He Accepts Offer to Visit Western 1 School to Investigate the C Situation. Dr. Harry W, Chase, president of the University of North Carolina, has been informally tendered the presidency of the University of Oregon. Dr. Chase left Chapel Mill Wednesday night for Oregon, and his departure gave rise to rumors that were verified today. With the idea of viewing the situation for himself Dr. Chase is making the trip to Oregon. He has been invited to get better acquainted with the western in stitution at its expense, and with the distinct understanding that ha will be under no obligation to .accept the offer. The University president has guarded his'' approaching trip with great secrecy in order to co-operate with the Oregon officials who requested that he consider the negotiations as strictly confidential. At the recent meeting of the University trustees he informed them of his offer, and requested secrecy in regard to the matter. Several days ago he called in a group of his faculty advisers, told them of his approaching trip, and again requested silence, after asking their ad vice. The leak followed close on his de parture; by Thursday the story was public property. i s. . The Oregon offer is highly charged with temptation. It is an institution of about four thousand students and is well supported by the state. There is no bother about , biennial appropriates since that University receives a definite per centage of the state revenue" from year to year. The salary offered Dr. Chase has not yet been revealed here, but it is said to be considerably larger than that paid him by North Carolina. At tlie present the administration of .s. v . ..

Production Of "The First Year" Proves Successful Jig J. K. Hawkins On the first three evenings of this week the Carolina Playmakers presented in their new and admirable little theatre their annual offering of a three-act play written by on author who is not a local literatus. And for the first tame in its brief history the comic mask which tops t,he proscenium arch in the little theatre wore a genuine smile and not a sickly grin. This combination -of professional authorship and amateur acting produced pleasing results. The results produced by amateur authorship plus amateur acting, as exemplified in the series of folk plays presented in the fall, was, as well as we remember, pretty sad. The logical Influence, therefore, is that the best thing the Playmakers can do from the standpoint of their public is to pro duce entirely, or at least more often than they do, Carefully selected profes sional play's, until such time as they shall discover one or two more Paul Greens. It Is a well-known fact that the Play makers dislike being called amateurs; it is also a w. k. fact that they dislike being critisisted from a professional point of view. Consequently the reviewer of a Playmaker production usually has to hurt either his own feelings or Play maker feelings. So, being most sensi tive in view of the alien authorship of their recent opus, may we be pardoned if we effect a compromise and consider the Playmakers for the moment as what the sporting pages call "a fast semi-pro outfit." However, since our own feelings were sufficiently hurt at the performance if any must be hurt herein we think that in deference trf the law of averages the brunt of the burden must fall on other shoulders than ours. "The First Year" is a superb play, at least for the average American citizen, and it is he to whom the Playmakers cater. It proves that good drama con be 'manufactured from ' our mundane everyday life, something that the Play makers themselves have long attempted to prove, with varying degrees of suc cess. The people of the play are real people doing the real things that all of us 'do every day though we do wish J that tlie author could have mauIiis hero (Continued on pay four) GRANT SUBMITS ALUMNI REPORT Work of the Gathering Is Sum marized by Secretary IS AN OBVIOUS SUCCESS To Attempt to Have "Hark the Sound" Recorded by Victor. .,. A complete report of the work of the' Alumni Institute recently held in Chapel Hill, has', been made by Diiniel Grant, Aliiinui secretary. The gathering cre ated the most wide-spread interest in alumni affairs of any meeting which has been held In the last three years, and made mtre substantial headway than any other single gathering. i One of the most outstanding actions was that which formally accepted the reorganized commencement' program which the alumni recommended to the faculty two years ago. This makes the alumni part of the Commencement a week-end party rather than heretofore Class dinners will be on Friday evening, June 4th, Saturday, the Clh, is nliiinn day proper, wjth a big alumni meeting in the afternoon, a joint luncheon, an athletic program in the afternoon, and in the eveninir a bis: outdoor event. The entire alumni program has been recast and alumni who return in the future mav expect more lively and effective occasions. ' It was decided to hasten the adoption of the schedule whereby more alumni would be brought to the Hill. Develop ments in the Alumni work take place only as fast as alumni return to the University or in some way establish di rect contact. Since alumni work got actively under way only about two-fifths of the classes have held reunions. Pro posed plans provide that the remaining three-fifths are to conduct a big joint reunion this coming June in order to serve the double purpose of hastening the adoption of the new plan, and also of providing more men with an oppor tunity to re-establish vital connection with the University of today. Thus three times as many men are on schedule for reunion this coming June as has ever been scheduled before. With adequate rooming and dining facilities, with a net work of. improved highways, and with Commencement- dates adjusted to the convenience of the alumni, the coming reunion in June will be an epoch in Uni versity life. No effort is being spared to make this new program of events live up to the stupendous modernization. Francis O. Clarkson, '', of Chnrlotte has been appointed Alumni Marshall and is in charge of the reunion. He has as special assistants Frank P. Graham and Clarkson Ho-all. He has already issued a call to the presidents of all classess involved to meet immediately to begin their preparations for the big event. About the first of April he expects a full meeting of the Reunion Committee to lay final plans for the Greater Alumni Jubilee in Chapel Hill on June 4 'and 5. An informal meeting was held be tween the assembled alumni and the Uni versity faculty for a free and frnnk dis cussion of the University problems and the work of the alumni. It proceeded in the finest spirit, anil in a way is epochal. One result was the designation of a committee composed of the presi dent and secretary of the General Alum ni' Association to study the problem of alumni participation in alumni affairs and to report in June. To assist this 'committee, President Stady has .desig nated a sub-committee composed of George Stephens, Albert Cox, Foy Robertson, G. M. I-ong, and William A. Blount. The Alumni Association was presented with a design for a table lamp modeled after the Old Well by Mr. Charles F, Graham. The purpose is to have avail able for the University of North Caro lina Alumni Asociation this, unique re minder of the University campus which is in the form of a library lamp. Final approval of the lamp and fixing the conditions under which it is to be mark eted was left to a committee composed (Continued on page three) PHI ASSEMBLY WILL DISCUSS TWO BILLS TAR HEELS WIN FROM CAVALIERS BY SCORE 47-16 One of Most Overwhelming Wins of Season is Chalked Up By Carolina DEVIN STAR PERFORMER Cages Seven Field Goals And Two Free Tosses to Take Scoring Honors.

The Tar Heel guards held the Old Dominion toss ers to four field baskets during the game, while the victors ran up the score to 47 and 16. From the start of the game Virginia's live were demoralized by the speed and passing of the Phantoms, and without the advice and direction of the veteran coach and trainer Coach Laimlgan they played during the entire first semester in a daze. Captain Tyler, veteran Cav alier center was. also out of the game with injuries, but even with his presence In the game the Cavaliers would never have been able to stem the Tar Heel tide, Billy Vanstory came down the floor three minutes after the first whistle and sank a beautiful shot for the opening counter of the game, and from that time till the close of the contest the result, was never in doubt. The Virginia guards had evidently been Instructed to watch Cobb and his forward mate, so when the forwards could not penetrate the Cava lier defense the Tar Heel guards took the offense in hand, j , Time after time Cobb and Dodderer took the ball and laid back Jiast mid court with it waiting for a chance'to get through, or for another man to get open under the b'asket. Suddenly from no one knew where a flash and white was seen inside the Virginia defense. A swift pass, a quick shot, and Billy Devin had caged another goal. Seven times during the guine Devin came through the defen sive works and tallied n two-pointer, while Bunn Hackney Was not far behind. The score at half time, was 28 to 9- In favor of Carolina. ; For the Phantoms Devin gets the crown, while Hackney and Vanstory also starred in the attack.
