GLEE CLUB WILL
SING IN RALEIGH
The Entire Group To Appear In
St. Mary's College Audi
torium Monday Night.
Tomorrow night at 8 :15 in
the St. Mary's Colleere audi
torium, Raleigh; the full Caro
lina Glee Club of 35 men will
give a program similar to those
of the fall tour.
During all of next week these
35 members will be closely ob
served by glee club officials, in
order that the best 28 can, be de
termined for the national con
test of March 8. : "
In connectipn with the con
test, the glee club has -had the
special honor to be invited to
luncheon at the Harvard Club,
the day of the contest, as guests
of Albert E, Pickernell.
Mr. Pickernell, a wealthy
financier, has been almost solely
responsible for the Intercolle
giate Glee Club Association's
active and successful existance,
which has extended over a
period of more than 12 years.
Among those who will appear
tomorrow night and who will be
considered for the New York
trip are : Brown, Boynton, Bre
mer, Barfield, Carter, Clark,
Connolly, Fleming, Goodwin,
Humphreys, Hammond, Lyon,
Lynch, Miller, Duffy, Midgett,
Overman. Parslev. Petty, Pat-
ton, Prouty, Park, Reynolds,
Stimpson, . Swain, Stewart,
Stahr, Scurlock, Slaughter,
TVnlL Whitsett. Winston, and
Wilson.
The forty-seven year corner
stone, located on the northeast
side of Memorial hall, was re
moved Saturday morning from
the dismantled building. Upon
examination the cornerstone was
found, to be solid granite and it
does not contain a box.
. Disappointment was felt a
mong University officials, stu
dents, and even a part of the
wrecking crew, because the cor
nerstone did not yield any pa
pers or other valuable tokens.
Much speculation was prevalent
as to the contents of the corner
stone. Some students thought
that a part of the observations
taken by Dr. Caldwell at his ob
servatory might .be found, .but
alas! According to Charles T.
Woollen, business manager of
the University, the building com
mittee of Memorial hall was un
able to give much time or money
to putting a box in the corner
stone, as they were hard pressed
for funds during the whole time
of the erection of this structure.
Tne cornerstone . ... measures
twelve inches in thickness, thirty
inches in height and forty inches
in .width. The weight of
the stone is approximately 1200
pounds. The cornerstone was
removed with little difficulty, for,
like the rest of the building it
was not properly set up.
The United States . geological
survey has its official mark upon
the stone showing the elevation
of the land adjacent to the build
ing,. which is 503 feet above sea
level. By way of protection this
official marker bears the follow
irig inscription : "250 dollars, fine
for disturbing this mark." The
elevation was calculated and the
mark set up by "B. M."
The Memorial hall cornerstone
was -erected September 25th,
1883. - The building committee
was composed of Paul C. Cam
eron, Kemp P. Battle and John
Manning, while Samuel Sloan
was architect and Henry Rich
ards was mason.

Daily Tar Heel Manager States
View On Theatre Controversy
DEUTSCHER KLUB WILL
MEET THIS AFTERNOON
The meeting of the Deutscher
Klub, which was postponed
from last Sunday, will take
place at 4:30 this afternoon at
the home of Dr. and Mrs. Met-
zenthin, 402 Hillsboro St. Dur
ing the last week a group of
students have been practising
Die Deutsche Studentlieder,
some of the most popular Ger
man student songs, in prepara-
ing. ;
Those who studied and prac
ticed the songs, which are select
ed from more than 250 , f olk
soners. are unanimous ' in pro
claiming them not only charm
ing in their musical setting, but
also rich in the combination of
deep romantic sentiment with
wholesome humor.
Dr. Metzenthin urges that
anyone interested , in typical
German songs and willing to
join heartily in the singing of
them attend this informal meet
tion for this meeting. . ,
For the benefit of any students
who may not understand the
Daily Tar Heel's position regard
ing the recent move to boycott
the Carolina Theatre, concerning
which false and ; misleading ru
mors may have been circulated,
the following explanation is offered.
. The student paper this year
derives approximately 40 per
cent of its revenue from student
fees. The other 60 per cent is
provided by advertisers, the bulk
of whom are local concerns, ca
tering to student trade.
These advertisers have always
been most generous in helping to
maintain the student paper, and
to forward other student activities.
The Daily Tar Heel is, assur
edly, a student paper, with whom
student interests must always
come first.
Receiving its support, how
ever, as it does, from local busi
ness houses as well as from stu
dents, The Daily Tar Heel has
always been required as a matter
of policy to steer clear of par
ticipation in controversial mat
ters between students and local

business concerns.
That, of course, tfoes not mean
that the Daily Tar Heel might
not link itself, and gladly, with
a movement-to cause the lower
ing of prices that were outward
ly and manifestly proven to be
unfair.
Visibly, the local theatre was
showing the best, first-run Vita
phone attractions at 40 cents,
when 50 cents was the prevail
ing price in other theatres in the
state. The local theatre was
bringing six first-run shows a
week to Carolina when other
theatres were buying one, two
and three a week at lower prices.
The local concern in other ways
was proving itself most gener
ous in entertaining students and
forwarding student activities.
In the absence of manifest
proof of unfair prices, the Daily
Tar Heel attempted as a matter
of policy to steer clear of the re
cent movement concerning the
theatre. -
No one student, nor no small
group of; students, on the staft
were responsible for this stand.
The action was taken by those in

Reviewers are being favor
ably impressed with the work
of the Carolina Playmakers at
every city where the famous
group plays. The Southern tour
is taking the Playmakers
through South ; Carolina, Geor
gia, and North Carolina.
In Greenville, South; Caro
lina, where the group played
Monday night the Greenville
News has the following to say:
The plays were rich in pres
entation of : the human element,
and the characters themselves
interpreted tne plays m a
faithful and characteristic
fashion, copying well ; the' lo
cality in which the drama was
laid by the authors." Homles
Bryson who is playing the lead
in Paul Green's "No 'Count
Boy" and Loretto Carroll
Bailey who is playing the part
of Kizzie in her own play "Black
Water" received especial com
mendation for their work.
Concerning the Playmakers
performance at Emory college
on the following night the At
lanta Constitution said :
"Emory College Tuesday night
was given a privilege that
should have gone to metropoli
tan Atlanta, that of convenient
attendance at the Carolina
Playmakers' program of three
acts, the best non-professional
dramatic performance that is
apt to grace Atlanta's boards
this season."
Wednesday night the players
appeared in Columbus, Ga., and
the Columbia Enquirer-Sun said
of them, "The wide interest felt
in the Carolina Playmakers and
in their director and originator,
Professor Koch ; the human ele
ment which dominated the plays
written by the Playmakers them
selves ; and the artistry of the
actors who presented them all
contributed to make the perfor
mance of the student actors last
night at the Springer opera
house a memorable one."
The joint meeting of the Car
olina and Duke literary societies
here, next Wednesday night,
February 26, seems to be gain
ing more support and endorse
ment every day. The students
of Duke have enthusiastically
received and indorsed the plan
for this meeting, and they have
promised to come by the hun
dreds. From all indications, it
seems as though Gerrard hall
will not hold the large crowd
that is expected to attend this
meeting. Speaker John' Lang,
however, has announced that a
larger auditorium will be re
sorted to if Gerrard is unable
to take care of the crowd next
Wednesday night. 1
A number of endorsements of
this joint session have been re
ceived from some of the Uni
versity's most outstanding fac
ulty . members. In endorsing
this meeting, Prof essor R. D. W.
Connor says: "Fine business!
The plan has my hearty endorse
ment. I trust that the Dlan nro-
posed will meet with enthusias
tic and sustained support from
both institutions."
Dean Addison Hibbard V in
speaking of this session says :
"With so much possible through
cooperation and common effort,
it is difficult to believe that any
one" nniilrK find rpnsVvn .-(Vt re
jection to the programme out
lined by the four cooperating
literary societies." Professor
Frank Graham considers this
meeting as the natural step in
bringing about wholesome co
operation between the two uni
versities. Doctor Howard W.
