Such an array of celebrities
as has been gathered by The Im
perial Stock Company for their
nrndnrtinn nf "Thorns and
Orange Blossoms" at the Play
maker Theatre May 2 and 3 has
seldom been seen in this vicinity.
Paul Green and Wilbur Daniel
Steele, leesees for the company,
have declared their intention of
not going out of the village for
either set or costume materials;
When questioned concerning the I
Play, Mr. Green stated that he
emphatically believed it would
prove even more popular than
"The No 'Count Boy."
"Thorns and Orange Blos
soms" is a dramatization of
Bertha M. Clay's internationally-known
novel of that title. The
ali-sjr cast will be costumed in
the dress of the periodthe
early 1880's. The play consists
of four intensely dramatic acts
and calls for ingenious adher
ence to the interiors of the
Period. Howard . Mumford

Alumni of the school of medi
cine in vthe University will hold
a buffet 'luncheon at the Caro
lina hotel in Pinehurst April 29
as a part of the program of the
meeting of the state Medical
Society.
This luncheon is being spon
sored, by Dr. Frank C Smith of
Charlotte,' who is president of
the msdical unit of the Univer
sity Alumni Association, and
Dr. Calvert Toy of Chapel Hill,
secretary of the medical unit.
Approximately one of every
four physicians practicing in
North Carolina are former stu
dents of the University medical
school. Many of these have sig
nified their intention of attend
ing the Carolina luncheon.
This would swell the attend
ance at the luncheon to a maxi
mum number, for during the 40
years of the medical school's
existence approximately 1300
students have matriculated. Of
these, 78 per cent of the native
North Carolinians have returned
to serve their native state. Five
hundred and fifty are now prac
ticing medicine in this state,
which is. approximately 25 per
cent of the actrve profession in
North Carolina.
In the past 30 years, students
of the school have headed the
list in examinations by the state
board of medical examiners 22
times.

The second annual Carolina
Virginia radio debate was
broadcast last night from sta
tion WPTF, Raleigh. The query
was one which is at present very
prominent in League of Nations
conferences and big business
circles; namely, "Resolved, That
the thirteen - month calendar
should be universally adopted."
Carolina took the affirmative
side of the question and was
represented by W. W. Speight,
A. V. Lowenstein and H. H.
Hcbgood. This was Speight's
second appearance in radio de
bating circles. Last year, he
paired with J. C. Williams in the
first Carolina-Virginia battle of
the air, which was broadcast
from station WRVA, Richmond.
The thirteen-month calendar
a , subject about which the
is
average person knows very lit
tle. The radio debate of last
night was designed, therefore,
as an educational program. This
policy was instigated last year
when the question of national
advertising was debated at Rich
mond.
The debate last night was the
ninth of the year. The tenth,
and last, will occur when the
local forensic artists journey to
Boston to engage Boston Uni
versity's representatives early
in May. The University will be
represented in this encounter by
J. M. Baley, J. C. Williams and
G. P. Carr. The query which
will be debated is "Resolved,
That the nations of the world
should adopt some plan of com
plete disarmament of all forces,
except those which are needed
for police purposes.
At a meeting of the special
faculty of the School of Engin
eering held yesterday after
noon, changes were made in the
curriculum which will make it
possible to improve the scholas
tic content of the curriculum
and to maintain a 24 week's per
iod of contact with outside in
dustry. Under this plan, which will
be put into operation at the be
ginning of summer school this
year, students in the school of
engineering will take two sum
mer school periods of twelve
weeks each, and the work dur
ing the junior co-operative year
will be placed on a quarterly
basis.
By ; the installation of this
plan, which was approved by the
sophomore engineers, the total
time spent at the University
during the four years required
for the completion of the course
will be increased eight weeks,
and the scholastic content of the
curriculum will be increased in
proportion.
Speaking of the change, G. M.
Braune, dean of the school of
engineering said yesterday:
"Under the new plan, the en
gineering. ..curriculum of the
University of North Carolina
will have as much or more schol
astic content than any other
engineering institution in the
country, and it provides in ad
dition 24 weeks' contact with
outside industry." -
Two Summer Sessions
"By giving two summer ses
sions of 12 weeks and placing
the cooperative junior year on
a quarter system, it is possible '.
to make changes which will
very considerably improve the
scholastic content of the entire
