ficer to give a brief financial
report. The speaker was intro
duced by Yarborough, a member

it was especially fitting that one

years in addition to brigadier
general in the army and the

ideals General Cox told the class
that he believed them to be of
good material. "There is good
timber and Mad timber," the
speaker stated, "and I believe
the class of 1931 to be of good
timber. Idealism has been the
hope of man since the earliest
times." Then brief ly telling how
Lindbergh, Morse, Fulton, Edi
son and others has been inspired
by ideals, the speaker asked the
class to hold always to its early
ideals.

MUSICAL PROGRAM
BY ORCHESTRA SUN.
The University orchestra will
present a varied program at 4
o'clock tomorrow " afternoon in
the Methodist church " auditofi
um.
The concert, which will be
free of charge, will consist of the
following numbers : Slavonic
Dance by Dvorak, Haydn's
Surprise ? Symphony;, Ballet
Music from llie Bartered Brie
by Smetana, Funeral March of
a Marionette by Gounod, and
March of the Boyards by Hal
borsen. " 1 V
Dvorak, a Bohemian, was one
of the few modern composers
who used folk tunes as his the
mes, and his Slavonic Dance is
based upon such folk music.
The G Major Symphony by
Haydn, well known as his "Sur
prise" Symphony is one of the
most well known works among
symphonic literature. While a
very simple orchestral number,
it is a good example of the com
pletely pure form of his classic
school. Built around a simple
naive theme, a feature for vvhich
Haydn is famous, the symphony
is equally interesting to laymen
and musicians. It is quite
standard in structure consisting
of a movement in Sonate form,
a slow movement with varia
tions, a minuet, and a rondo.
During the afternoon a silver
offering will be taken, to meet
certain incidental expenses of
the' orchestra which are vital, to
its existance and cannot be ob
tained , in other ways. ,
Carolina Glee Club

ORIENTAL SINGER
PLEA$ECRi
Ratan Devi Has Rare Talent
In The Opinion Of Reviewer
Greenblatt.
(By Milton Greenblatt) :
jMme. Ratan .Devi, who ap
peared before a large audience
in Swain hall Thursday evening,
has the rare talent of under
standing both the oriental and
ocpidental music. Thus she is
able to explain the exotic" field
of Hindu folk music to audiences
thoroughly unacquainted with
it, and by her skillful perform
ance, to make it enjoyable and
somewhat intelligible.
She has a rich, well-controlled
contralto voice though a little!
rough in its lower ranges. Her
singing is restrained, careful
and thoroughly artistic.
Although its structure is much
different from that of western
music, the Hindu folk song does
not sound vastly different nor
very strange. It is only neces
sary to listen to it carefully, and
the ear becomes as accustomed
to it as it does to our own music.
The Hindu music stresses melod
ic quality, utterly ignoring har
monic bases. The songs Mme.
Ratan Devi sang are based on
a scale having 22 divisions, as
compared with our own of 12.
This minute interval division
gives the music an extreme deli
cacy, and often a plaintive,
strange sound.
: It was hardly possible to hear
the artist's explanatory remarks
to the music. The audience was
noisy, restless and somewhat in
different. But what could be
heard was splendid, and ex
tremely interesting.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT
TO GIVE RECITALS
s The department rof music will
conclude its year's work next
quarter with a series of recitals
in which the department organ
izations, students and faculty
will take part.
Students in the department
will be required to attend all the
programs, wliich are planned not
as ordinary concerts, but as a
definite part of their routine,
giving them experience both in
participation and in listening.
Recitals will be general, with
students of piano, voice and vari
ous instruments, appearing on
the same program! However,
divisions will be made between
elementary, intermediate, and
advanced pupils, in that each
grouping will comprise a sepa
rate recital. The distinctions
will be made regardless of the
pupil's age, but rather with re
spect to the length of time he
has studied and his general
proficiency.
In addition, the " department
will sponsor ' a program in the
Chapel of the Cross at which an
advanced organist w,ill appear,
and a general faculty recital
some time in May. The regular
spring concert of the University
glee club and perhaps -a concert
by the orchestra in Kenan sta
dium will be included in the
series.
Two of the student recitals
are planned for April and two
for May. The elementary - pro
grams will be for the most part
in the afternoon, while the ad
vanced students will perform in
the evening.
Fund Up To $264.70
The Campus Relief Fund : for
the Poor of Orange County was
increased yesterday to a total of
$264.70. The latest contribu
tions came from W. P. Fuller,
Snydor Cozart, Sam Silver-
stein, and from two anonymous
benefactors.
Ninety dollars of the amount
has been realized from the bene
fit picture which was shown at
the Carolina theatre last Sun
day afternoon. The rest has
been donated bv students and
. V
townspeople. The Tar Heel will
continue to conduct the fund
through the three remaining is
sues of the quarter.
Donations may be. made to
Dr. T. M. Brooks, Box 747, or

FACULTY MAMS
CLASS ATTENDING
HONORS MATTER
; ""."..-- " - - . . . i - '
Optional Attendance Goes By
Board Except For Junior And
, Senior Honor Roll Men.
At the meeting of the under
graduate faculty yesterday af
ternoon, the following - motion
was passed, to become effective
next quarter : Resolved : ' ( I )
That optional attendance r for all
juniors and seniors be abolished.
(2) That, juniors and , seniors
holding positions on. the honor
roll - in the" preceding - quarter
will have the privilege of volun
tary r attendance in all courses.
Whereas heretofore all upper
classmen in the schools of liberal
arts, education, and commerce
have held the privilege of ab
senting themselves from class
meetings on all junior and senior
courses, now only the select few
whose names appear on the hon
or list for the preceding quarter
may do so, but the privilege will
extend to freshman and sopho
more courses. The lowered
scholastic standing of a certain
percentage of the student body,
added to the conditions prevail
ing generally before and after
holidays and on week-ends,, is
considered responsible for the
somewhat reactionary procedure
of the faculty jnembers. About
three years ago, due largely to
the efforts of Dean Addison Hib
bard, -the system of voluntary
attendance was instituted as
more or less of an experiment,
with - the understanding that at
any time the faculty was at lib
erty to revoke their decision. -
A second' motion passed at
the' meeting" reads "as: follows:
Resolved : That within a period
of ten-calendar 'days, at the be
ginning of a quarter, all regis
tration must1 be concluded; ; and
that all changes of schedule tf
courses must be made in the
same length of time. This pro-j
visions' extends - somewhat the
time limit for registration and
changing of schedules.
Betas To See Show
Beta Theta -Pi fraternity will
be entertained -by the manage
ment of the Carolina theatre at
the 7 o'clock show tonight, ac
cording to an announcement by
Manager E. C. Smith. y
The Betas are asked by Mr.
Smith to be at .the theatre
promptly,, with their president.
Other- fraternity and dormitory
groups - will be guests of the
management of the theatre from
time to time throughout the
school year.
NUMBER 124
Ten Colleges And Universities
To Be Represented In Tin
Can; Preliminaries At 4:00
O'clock.
The first Southern Conference
Indoor Track Meet 'and games,
the greatest ever to be held in
the Southland, will get under
way this afternoon beginning at
4 o'clock in the Tin Can. Pre
liminaries will be staged at 4,
while the meet proper will begin
at 7 o'clock.
Libre than three hundred of
the South's best track and field
stars have entered . the "meet.
Such names as Flippin, Hamm,
de Coligny, Day, Quinn, Farmer,
Sandiver, Simon and a host of
others are enrolled and give
promise of the greatest athletic
contest yet put on in the, South
this winter. Men are here from
ten colleges and universities in
the South v stretching, over so
wide an area as Louisiana to
Maryland.
Officials for. the meet have
been chosen from the best that
the organizers could find. Heady
ing the list will be J. J. Stegev
man, J. V. JMulligan, Frank A.
Knopf and W. A. Alexander.
The Tin Can presents this morn
ing the best indoor track and.
field combination which has
ever been put together this fat
south. Workmen for several
daysjiave been busy remodeling
the structure into a vast arena
in expectation of the large audi
ence anticipated. ? -
Among the institutions havr
ing the largest representations -here
for the meet are Georgia
Tech, Washington and Lee, Duke
and Carolina. On the1 strength
of reserve material these schools
should have a slight edge on the
others entered for the champion
ship. Ed Hamm, Olympic star and
holder of the . world's record
broad jump, is a pre-meet favor
ite in the 60-yard dash. Quinn,
who came in among the first in $
the recent Meadowbrook games,
and Farmer of Carolina are also
classy looking competitors. The
Carolina officials have been busy
preparing a long 5traigntaway
which is as long as any in the
South and slightly longer than
that used in Madison Square
Garden. .
The 60-yard high and low
hurdles will occupy the attention
of Harry Flippin, Virginia's
stellar - runner, who has been
bothering, world's records for
the past two seasons. Dq Colig
ny, who starred on the line of?
Tulane's Green Wave last fall,
Maddox of Georgia, Freeman of '
Duke,'Speer and Finklestein of
Washington and Lee, Harvey of -Georgia
Tech; Kennedy and '
Boineau of South Carolina, and ?
Perry .of Carolina will push, -Flippin
all the way.
.The hard . 440 has attracted
what may prove to be the fast
est competition - of , the meet.
Remsburg coming" from Mary- .
land has already this year
placed second in the meet held
at Virginia. Sheppard and
Dickey, are stars of the first
rank and are entered from
Washington and Lee; Ottinger
and Floyd, La Forge of Georgia.
Tech, Cooke of Duke, and Dave
Nims of Carolina present an
unsually strong field.
In the half-mile, McGinn of
State, on the basis of his plac
ing second in the -conference
last spring, seems to be the best
early bet, but will have to meet -
