The main contention of the negative was that the government is rightly a referee and not a player in the game of industry, and that government operation of progressive industries has been habitually unsuccessful. This debate, like all those participated in on this trip, are no-decision con tests. When the debate was over mem bers of the audience questioned the debaters upon the question.

Erlanger, the Selwyhs, Agustin DuncanLee and J. Shubert, B. Iden Payne, Frank Reicher, with Lupino Lane Film Company, the Fox Film Company Famous - Players - Lasky Corporation, Charles Dillingham, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Coburn.

Rachel Crothers, one of the fore most American dramatists of today, was the first person to seize upon the dramatic possibilities of the theme of "He and She,", whichis briefly, whether or not a woman should give Up her- home and its responsibilities for a career. In "He and She" she gets at every, angle T of the matter, placing the emphasis on the roman tic and chivalric side of the question. A"s a comedy drama the play has a wide appeal since everyone likes a good comedy, and , nearly everyone likes a problem when it is presented interestingly and entertainingly. A few, seats may still be obtained for the performance at Sutton's Drug store. Season passes are good for these performances. v Roanoke River Dikes Inspected by Saville and Ray of University Charles E. Ray of the Water Re sources division of the department of Conservation and Development located at the University, and Mr. Thorn dike Saville, of the Engineering school, visited (the state prison farm at Caledonia last Monday for the pur pose of inspecting the dikes at he place.

Stating that the modern trend of business is toward the bigger com bine and that the world . that the present student will go out into af ter his graduation will be a world of great amalgamations and combines, Mr. Dave Ovens of the J. B. Ivey Company of. Charlotte, spoke in chapel Tuesday morning on the sub ject "The Law of the Wild,"" In relating his topic to the modern business world, Mr. Ovens asserted: "In the' new conditions arising from ; these great combines a new type of the competition has arisen in which only will the best man equipped with the best methods is able to survive. In short, it is an application of the old law of the wild. The survival of the fittest "In spite of all the stories to the contrary," stated Mr. Ovens, "the business man without a college edu cation has a high regard for the man with a college degree. The ob jection of the business man to the college graduate is that he, wants to sit at a desk and push buttons; whereas his place is to answer the bells. The only kind of knowledge that is worth anything," said Mr. Ovens, is .knowledge that can be applied and put to use. A man may have all the knowledge in the world, but unless he is able to apply it, it is of no value. Your college degree is not worth the paper and ink with which it is written unless you can take the knowledge that it represents and put it to use." In returning to the general topic of his talk, the opportunities in the property from immersion.

Grant, '21 formerly alumni secretary'has, been employed as full time director of the program of the council and will start on a cam paign of publicity and appeal for sup port from the alumni. He now has under consideration a proposal to is sue once a month a small paper called the Alumni Bulletin in which he would give the standing of the fund, an ex planation of the need and the progress being made. However his plans are only tentative; no definite move has been made to insure the issuance of this inexpensive bulletin. The. program being conducted by the alumni council is in pursuance of the policy suggested by Dr. Chase in his address to the last General As sembly in which he explained the great utility that a constant and sub stantial income from the Loyalty Fund must have in the life of the Univer sity. The council plans to secure sup port from alumni and friends in the form gof insurance, gifts, and wills A special insurance policy has been issued, by the Jefferson Standard life insurance company and will be sold to all alumni of the University at a special rate.

Mr. Knight stresses the importance of the knowledge of the history of education. He states that such knowledge is almost imperative to the teachers in modern schools.

James Rubeler, a young white man 17 years of age of New York, was ar rested here yesterday afternoon charged with the theft of a Nash coupe belonging to a Mr. York of inehurst. Rubeler was lodged in jail pending trial. The first tip that the- car was stolen was when Rubeler pawned a spare tire for some gasoline at Bur rough's ' filling station. His actions were suspicious, and the police at Durham were notified, who stated that a car of that description had been reported stolen. After leaving Chapel Hill, Rubeler drove the car to Durham and left it in a garage to have some repair work done. He was unable to pay the charges, and returned to Chapel Hill to get the spare tire. In the mean time, however, the police here were waiting for him, and when he called at the garage for the tire he was promptly taken in tow by policeman Lloyd. Chief Rigsbee then went to Durham and brought the car -back to Chapel Hill, where it will be held un til the owner calls for it. - BULL'S HEAD READING Howard Mumford Jones will read from P. G.
