The introduction of the Publi cations Union Board into the University seven years ago brought with it many benefits to the publications and economies to the student body. According to the plan, adopted at the be ginning, the board consists of five members, two of the fac ulty and three elected by the students. This board appoints and dismisses business man agers of the four publications, and the managing editor, of the Daily Tar Heel, apportions money collected from the - stu dents, passes , on contracts for printing and engraving, and acts as general overseer for- the Daily Tar Heel, the Buccaneer, the Carolina , Magazine and the Yackety Yack.

Covington, Of Raeford, Develops His Hobby Into Work Of - Permanent And Lasting Value; Unusual Material Used In Models. The recent visit to the campus of Lorado Taft, world famous sculntor and architect ' has discovery is of very great inter- st to tne state as a whole, and stau a school of fine arts: It is speCially romantic when it is considered that this movement in art is being led by an agricul- volicf n farmpr of thf soil. This pioneer in the field of North Carolina art is W. T. Covington, prominent Raeford farmer and member of a well known Hoke COunty family. ' jr Covington never wentto college, nor has he ever had any artistic training whatsoever, having devoted his time to f arm- ing from early youth. It was not to be expected, then, that he would ever develop any liking for, or knowledge of, sculptural art. However, many years ago, he became interested in sculp ture and has been enthusias tically spending all spare hours in this field ever since. J Some time ago Mr. Coving- ! ton, having read of the wide reputation of Lorado Taft as an excellent judge of sculpture and architecture, wrote to Mr. Taft, FOREIGN POLITICS FCRMWILLIiIEET Recently Organized Group To Conduct Exhaustive Study Into Question. The Foreign Politics Forum will meet tonight at 9 in 213 Saunders hall for the purpose of discussing current issues in the consular service in . the United States. The meeting will be pre sided over by Bob Graham, pres ident of the organization, while Professor K. C. Frazer of the government department, will lead a discussion on "Foreign Affairs." ' Plans are to be made for next year," and prospective speakers will be discussed. The club is at present planning to 1 secure noted diplomats to appear on the program for the coming year. This, Foreign Politics Forum was organized tins year for the purpose of stimulating interest among students of the Univer sity who are interested in for eign' political and commercial problems. Discussions in the forum combined with the advice of the department of history and government should be of service to students who are interested in diplomatic work. During the past year Sir Her bert Ames was brought to the campus under the auspices of this forum. While here Sir Ames gave a series of addresses on "'The League of Nations." The forum plans to bring numer ous other such men to the cam pus next year in an attempt to create more interest in foreign politics. The officials Of the' organiza tioik jnvijjali students interested in foreign politics both from an academic and professional stand point, to attend the meeting. sending him photographs of some of his work and asking the authority's' opinion as to its merit. : At that; time, Mr. ' Taft wrote Covington, expressing himself as being most pleased with some of the work, especially with a fountain which the Rae ford man had erected in f ront of his home, and desirous of making Covington's acquain tance in the future. So when Mr. Covington heard that Taft was to lecture at the University, he drove up from his home to hear the lectures, and also brought with him several sam ples of his work. - Upon examining these sam ples, Mr. Taft and Dr. Harland, head of the department of ar chaeology at the University, were enthusiastic m the com- mendation of the simplicity and perfection of the work. The technique of Mr. Covington's sculpture is entirely original, and different from that general ly in fashion for the day, as is his theme and subject matter, which is entirely composed of the local atmosphere of the farm and countryside -a line of thought never heretofore thor oughly developed. One of the pieces which he brought was the "Hog Caller." It consisted of four figures the farmer, two pigs and a trough. This piece is verv realistic.

"Dancing is the fundamental expression of all the arts," Miss Ruth St. Denis, dancer and co director of the famous Den ishawn School of Dancing, said in an interview after she had presented a well-received pro gram of dances in the Kenan stadium. " "Architecture and dancing go hand in hand, leading the arts. They are the basis on which all the others are built. For v this reason, dancing is an important part of a nation's life." In speaking of dancing in America, Miss St. Denis told of her own idea and ideal. Dancing, she said, should be for all peo ple, not merely a few interested particularly in the art. Old and young alike can dance, and should be encouraged. ." The best and most practical means of achieving this end of spreading dancing to all is to establish community centers in the resi dential districts, where singing and dancing would combine to further- ther artistic life of the community. . Those too old to dance, whose bodies have become too stiff or are no longer beautiful, may be organized as a chorus. The younger members of the group may then interpret the music of the chorus, improvising where possible. A community, interest in cultdre is thus aroused. Miss St. Denis' school in New York is not of this type, but she -has started work along these lines in California where it is being carried steadily forward. While Miss St. Denis is hear tily in favor of athletics, she de cries the fact that huge stadiums on which fabulous sums have been spent are not utilized two- thirds of the year. Choruses, symphony orchestras, pageants and dance programs could be presented. Yet in many parts of the country the structures stand unused. The use of Kenan stadium to stage the program of dances given here was heartily endorsed by the dancer. Miss St Denis and her troupe left Chapel Hill for New York, where they will prepare for their appearance in August at the Lewisohn stadium with the New York symphony orchestra. Her appearance here was the last in a ten-day tour of the south. Yackety Yack Notice There Trill be an important meeting of the Editorial staf f of the Yackety Yack tonight at seven o'clock.

POLLS IN Y. M. C. A 10 TO 5 (By K. C. Ramsay) Thirty-three and one-third cents per- quarter additional publications fees or no Daily Tar Heel for next year is the question "that must be decided by the students today at the polls inside of the Y. M. C. A. The polls will be open from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. At the meeting of the student activities committee on last Tuesday it was decided that this would be the only feasible plan by which a daily paper may be continued in the University. Numerous plans were proposed by both the faculty and stu dent members of the committee, among which was a suggestion that the Buccaneer be abolished. This was .unfavorably received by a large majority of the group. ' Reports were made by the president of the Publications Union Board, Clyde Dunn, and by Professor J. M. Lear, treas urer of the board, and it was shown that a deficit of over $3300.00 would have to be car ried over by the P. U. Board be cause of the losses' of the Daily Tar HeeL Not one member of the student activities commit tee would hear to "a suggestion that the daily be abolished. With one accord the group said con tinue the newspaper at any price. ' Student Leaders Endorse Daily During the past week dis cussion of the proposed raise in the publications fee has been -heard in all parts of the campus, and the proposal has met with hearty approval. Some of the students having spoken in favor of keeping the Daily Tar HeL. under the proposed plan are ex-President of the Student Body, Ray Farris; President of the Student Body, Red Green ; Glenn. Holder, past editor of the daily ; Ed Hamer, President of the Y. M. Cr A.; Dave Nims, captain of track; Strud Nash, captain of the football team. The entire staff of the Daily, editor to news reporter, is strongly in favor of continuing its work. .y ' Many students have declared that the Daily Tar Heel has become a necessary part of theiiv breakfast and that they would not know what to do without it. Favored By Faculty Men "The experimental year for the Daily Tar Heel closes with two facts clearly evident" stated Professor Harold D. Meyer in a Readers' ; Opinion, last week, "one, a successful editorial policy and the other, a financial deficit. "The Daily Tar Heel has been a source of pleasure and inter est throughout the year. In fact, it has become a student necessity. Like breakfast, class es, study, the Carolina and many other habits we are now accus tomed to having the Tar Heel as a daily necessity." Dean F. F. Bradshaw says "I am in favor of continuing the Daily Tar HeeL It has proven a success, and should be contin Contmued on last page)
