VOLUME XXXIX CHAPEL HILL, N. C TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1930 NUMBER 4 ALLEN DEFEATS PEIGHT INLA SCHOOL BALLOT! "Ward, Dunn, and Graham Win Other Three Offices Voted Utfon. By Everard B. Shemwett , In the first elections of the year, Archie Allen was elected to the presidency of the first year law class over W. W. Speight by an overwhelming majority. Jack Ward defeated Charles Whedbee in the race for vice-president, while Bill Dunn . was victorious over his oppon ent, J. A. Bailey, for secretary. John Graham was elected treas urer over Fred Bunch in a tight race in which the victor was but one vole ahead of the vanquish ed. ' - Allen, captain of the Tar Heel boxers in 1930, had little opposi tion in Speight, snowing him un der .an avalanche of votes, and winning by a-l majority. The election was rather -im-promtu, having been, held with but ten minutes warning by J. A. Williams, president of the . Law School Association. Cam paign speeches were in order, and Speight was given a, large r amount of verbal support by sup- . porters, but Allen proved to be the preferred man when the """votes were counted. ORCHESTRAADDS NEW PIECES TO YEAR'S ENSEMBLE T. Smith McCorkle Discovers New Talent on Campus. Last year the University Or chestra was composed of about forty-five pieces, a membership that represented a growth of over thirty in the last five years. This year, T. Smith McCorkle, director, hopes to increase the membership to sixty. ' ,, The new additions that Mr. McCorkle plans include several experienced violin players, cel loists, a bassoon, two french horns, two violin players, two oboes, and a string bass. With the exception of the oboes all of these pieces have been in the or chestra. . Only a small portion of the first program has been decided. It will probably include Shu bert's Unfinished Symphony, Number 8 in B minor, the Sici lian Vespers Overture, by Verdi, and the Prelude to Wagner's opera, Lohengrin. In addition to the regular symphonic work, there will be several instrumental soloists with the orchestra this year. Mr. McCorkle will play a violin con cert, and Mr. Kennedy will play one at the organ. Also, outside artists may be invited. The first practise is to be held at Person hall on Tuesday September 23 at-7 o'clock and all old members are asked to at tend. Assembly To Meet The Phi Assembly will hold its initial meeting of the year tonight at 7:15 in the regu lar session hall in New East building. Speaker Albright requests that all old men be present at the meeting to help get the assembly off to a good year. Announcements X will be made later concerning the ini tiation of the new men. . Presbyterian Classes The Presbyterian Sunday school announces that this year it will hold two student I classes,, instead of one as" pras done last year. The new stu dents will be taught by Pro fessor I, C. Griffin of the school "of education. The up perclassmen will be taught by Professor E. L. Mackie of the mathematics department. The classes meet with the rest of the Sunday school at 9:45 for the opening, exercises of the school, and the class discus sion begins at 10. DYER SPONSORS INSTALLATION OF WE NEW ORGAN Head of Music, Department Su perintends Activities From - Factory . to Campus.. , Dr. Harold S. Dyer, director of music, at the University, has been quite , busy this summer with the installation of the new organ which' was the gift of some unknown person, evidently interested in the, department of music to the extent of several thousands of dollars. At the close of the first session pf sum mer school, Dr. Dyer made a trip to the factory in Kansas at which the organ was built, and made a thorough inspection of the assembled instrument, which is now the center of attraction in the department. After his re turn, he became the official guide, for .visitors, pointing .out the intricacies and explaining the work which it will do in the education of musicians. It is a very valuable addition in this re spect. Since the beginning of the assembling , at Chapel Hill, Professor Dyer lias shown more than 300 visitors through the construction room, among which was a Kiwanis convention, of which Dr. Dyer and three of the craftsmen were guests at dinner before the demonstration. It is hoped that the dedication of the organ will take place soon after the first of November. Be fore the instrument can be def initely put into .use, however, the final voicing must be done by an expert from the factory, and it i impossible to complete this adjustment until the final furnishings and seats have been installed in the music audi torium. As soon as the final ad justments have been made, the dedication will take place. At this ceremony there will be si concert by one. of America's masters. Several are under careful consideration, among whom are Palmer Christian, of Michigan, Edward Eigenschenk, of Chicago, E .Harold Geer, or ganist at Vassar College, Henry F. Seibert, Town Hall organist at New York City, and others of equal note. After the dedication cere mony, there will be two series of organ recitals, the first of which will be a vesper series at 4:45 on Sunday afternoons, the dates of which are to be announced later. The second series will be a guest, series, and will feature six or more of -the leading church and auditorium organists of North Carolina. The music Auditorium pro mises to be of great value to the University, and the entertain ment committee will probably hold the first few of their pro grams there, as the new Univer sity auditorium will not be finished before the first of February. FRESHMAN BIDS ARE READY Ml Rushing Season Opens Officially Friday Afternoon at 2 ' O'clock. "Fraternity representatives may secure freshman invitations from me at the Sigma Chi House this afternoon between two and four and tonight be tween seven and nine," Tom Hunter, Secretary of the Inter fraternity Council, said last night. "No invitations will be given fraternities which have not posted the one hundred dol lar bond required by the Coun cil's rules and which have not paid their regular assessment of five dollars." According to the Interf ratern- ity Council rushing rules these invitations must be filled in by the fraternities and returned to the Secretary by noon Wednes day. 1 He delivers them to the Dean of students and they in turn are delivered to the fresh men through the Dean's office. ' Rushing season opens officially Friday- afternoon at two o'clock when the new men begin visit ing the fraternity houses. This continues through Saturday night. After that' time "fresh men are permitted to make their own dates, but no new man may make, more than two dates with any one fraternity during first two days of. rushing, the rules state. Will Scour Woods ; For Moorer's Body In a final effort to clear up the mystery surrounding the disap pearance of Morgan P. Moorer last spring, Boy Scouts and Uni versity students under the dir ection of L. B. Lloyd, hunter and woodsman, and George Henry, assistant scoutmaster, are scour ing the territory around Chapel Hill in search of the boy's body. Moorer, a member of the freshman class, disappeared during the spring quarter of last year. .For days fraternity brothers and friends searched the neighboring territory, fear ing that the boy had committed suicide, but hoping that he was still alive. The possibility that he was a victim of amnesia was V the most probable explanation advanced for his disappearance by those who believed him to be alive. During the summer the search continued. His mother, who still believes that he is alive, se cured the services of private de tectives to push the investiga tion. And now, his mother, after ap pealing to the Governor and to President Frank Graham, has started this last search, fearing that if the boy is dead his body may be in some" out-of -the way place where it would have been "overlooked by earlier searches. Dr. G. N. Couch, .botany in structor, is expected to return to the University today, where he will resume his work. Dr. Couch has traveled in Europe during the past summer vaca tion. Dr. Couch spent consider able time in Cambridge, Eng land. Coupons Student coupons will be ex- changed for student tickets to the Wake Forest game on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons in the lobby of the Y. M. C. A. from 3 to 6 o'clock. COUNCIL HOLDS. FIRSTilEETING New Office Hours Announced by President Greene. The student council held its first meeting last night in its new office in 204 South building for the purpose of discussing plans for the coming year. Ac cording to plans, the student government will ' hold regular office hours in their new office. The office will be open from 10;30 to 12:00 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, and from 10:30 to 11:00 on Wednes day and Friday. It is the plan of the council that all reports be made at the office, which is next to that of Dean Bradshaw, during these hours. This is the first time in the history of the University that the student government has had an office of its own. The plan of giving the gov ernment of the student body an office, although new on this cam pus, is in line with all of -the other large universities in the country. t Having received praise from sources all over the United States, the student government on 'this campus is brought still another step forward in its ef ficiency and superiority by this new office plan. Those men who are to serve on (Continued, on page two) Subscription Price Of Daily Tar Heel x Raised Two Dollars Meeting Sunday afternoon, the University Publications Un ion board elected officers for the ensuing year and raised the price of subscriptions to the Daily Tar Heel. K. C. Ramsay, senior member of the board, Vas elected president and E. C. Daniel, sophomore, was chosen secretary. As the student publications fee was raised last year, in or der to take care of the extra ex pense of publishing a daily pa per, the portion of the fee allot ed to the Daily Tar Heel was in creased to four dollars. This means, really, that each student pays that amount 'for his paper. Up until this time the sub scription price for outsiders has been only two dollars a year or one . dollar per smarter. If this rate were continued, it would mean that Chapel Hill people and others would get the paper for less than the students to whom the paper belongs. Accordingly, the board decid ed to increase the subscription fee for outsidersto four dollars for the entire school year or one dollar and a half per quarter. Law Association To Meet On Wednesday The Law School Association will hold its first meeting of the year Wednesday night at 7 :15 in the session room of the as sociation. President Frank Graham, and Dean C. T. Mc Cormick will be the principal speakers. ' J. A. Williams, president of the association, states that re freshments will be served,- and the meeting will be of a general get-together nature. Following Jthe meeting, which President Williams says will be short, the Carolina Theatre will entertain the members of the association at a free show, "Common Clay." Graham To Speak Beginning Friday morning President Graham wiH ad dress the students of the freshman and sophomore classes in chapel once a week. This will give the first-year men an opportunity of hear ing Mr. Graham once per week, and will give the sopho mores a chafice to hear him once every-two weeks. When the new auditorium is completed the two classes will meet together for chapel. This building is expected to be ready by the middle of the winter quarter. NOTED COMPOSER BECOMES MEMBER OF LOCAL COLONY Lamar Stringfield, Pulitzer Prize Winner, Comes to Chapel Hill From New York. By J. P, Huskins The Chapel pihV are colony, al ready an institution of many parts, has added, a composer to its list of distinguished citizens. Lamar Stringfield winner of the Pulitzer, prize forvthe out standing, musical composition in 1928 and a nationally known flutist and interpreter of folk music, has left the whirl of New York life for he quiet beauty of Chapel Hill. This picturesque little village seems to have a strong appeal for scientists and artists. One of every forty-eight of its citi- zens -islist$d " in "Who's Who," and one of every fifteen of its male adults is a recognized sci entist. Friends of Stringfield recent ly induced him to come back to his native state and to make his home in Chapel . Hill. Here at the University they saw an opening for a new department that wuld make use of the folk music already collected by the Institute for Research in Social Science. It is Stringfield's idea to develop this folk music foruse in the University music depart ment and by the Carolina Play makers thus establishing here at the University a distinctly Amer ican music and drama based on American subjects. Efforts are now being made to get the pro posed department financed. Won Pulitzer Award Mr. Stringfield is a native of Wake County, although as many as half a dozen other counties of the state are loud in claiming him. ; His Pulitzer award number, Aa composition for full orchestra, 'From the Southern Mountains," was based on the folk melodies from the Carolina hills. "Crip ple Creek,4 the last movement of the 'suite, was chosen last year as a national high school contest number and was record ed by the Victor company. Believing that only a native may translate musical subjects into a form that will M interest ing to the people who sing them, Mr. Stringfield made a compila- Continued on last 'page) Cross Country Call Coach Dale Ranson has is sued a call for freshmen to try out for the freshman cross country team.

NORTHWESTERN U.GAIXSHEFFNER . TO NEWPOSfflON Was One of Prof. Koch's Ori ginal Students Here; West erman to Fill Vacancy. Another wound was inflicted in the university's faculty staff yesterday when it was officially announced that Hubert C. Heff ner, business manager of the Carolina Playmakers and of the Carolina Playbook, i associate director of the Carolina Play makers, and Assistant Professor of English, had resigned to take charge of the dramatic depart ment of Northwestern univer sity. . Despite the fact that the loss of Mr. Heffner is a decided blow to the University, it remains that a compliment has been be stowed upon Carolina. The de partment which he will head is one of the largest of its kind in the country. : His task there will be a stupendous one as he will supervise all dramatic work and act as business manager of the dramatic organization. "It grieves me," said ' Mr. Heffner, "to leave Carolina. This is my home, j I loved my work here and I feel that I am leaving a momentous task. I (Continued on last page) Y. M.
