Carroll will ex plain the functions of the offices of the deans. The value of per sonal advice and direction to the student will' be. the subject of a talk by Dean F. F. Bradshaw, and Dr..

These talks are to be followed by an open forum discussion among the members of the assembly.

The assembly will' attend the Duke-Carolina game Satur day afternoon. Play By Sheridan On Play Bill Of Traveling Troupe Sheridan's The Duenna with thevoriginal music of Thomas Unley, will be presented here by TheUitney Players December 1 and 2. America has not been given the opportunity of seeing this play until the Jitney Players brought it to the stage in 1927. Overshadowed by The Rivals and other works by the same author which the commercial theatre had seized upon, it was found to contain the same wit and humor, the : same abundance of brilliance as these other works, plus a novelty and freshness un touched by years of standard ized production. The interest created in 1927 did not abate with the passing seasons, but was fanned to greater flame by the spontaneous success of this company's production of another little known Sheridan play, A Trip to Scarborough, produced last season. The Duenna is a, fast moving comedy of laughter and music. Against a silver background the play of the vivid color of the costumes enhances the beauty and sparkle of the lines. The play opens to the vivacious and exulting life of the fiesta. The Duenna was first acted at the Convent Garden Theatre, London, England, in 1775. This comedy will be enacted here by a cast listing Alice Keat ing Cheney, Frederick Forman, Edmund Forde, Harrison Dowd, Douglas Rowland, Richard Skin ner, Robert Spruill, Harvey Fite, Ellen Love, Elizabeth Zachary, and. Elizabeth Ogden. Russian Theatre Discussion Tonisrht A talk on "The Russian in Soviet Russia" will be pre sented by Mrs. Ella Rush Mur ray at 8:30 this evening in the Playmakers Theatre. An open forum discussion will follow the lecture during which Mrs. Mur ray will answer any questions on the Theatre or any other phase of the Soviet Government. Mrs. Murray is a member of the advisory council of the American-Russian Institute which is headed by William A. Nelson, president of Smith Col lege. She has traveled extensive ly in Russia and is well acquaint ed with the people and govern ment under Soviet rule. Mrs. Murray will be in Chapel Hill for a few days this week attended by her husband, the de signer of the Saluda dam recent ly completed near Columbia, South Carolina. , SMALL COLLEGES ARE HELPING TO BUILD MW SOUTH Walter Rollo Praises Work of Institutions Other Than Larger Universities. "There is a new South be cause youth in. the South is bet ter informed and is thinking with greater clearness than ever before," says Walter Rollo Brown, author and distinguished biographer of Dean Biggs of Harvard. "Everywhere one comes upon memorials of sacri fice, of aspiration,. of faith in the efficacy of intellectual free dom. And these memorials are not necessarily such sturdy in stitutions as the University of North Carolina, the University of Georgia, Vanderbilt Univer sity, Tulane University, or the seats , of such magnificent ex periments as the Rollins plan or the Virginia Quarterly, but modest institutions whose names are likely to be misspelled by the metropolitan press. "Coker College in South Caro lina represents a class," he de clares, and continuing mentions other small educational institu tions included in the group: "The Georgia State College for Women . . . offers education each year to a thousand or twelve hundred young women at a total cost to each student that would pay a Wellesley or Smith under graduate's bills for just about one month . v. . "Lincoln Memorial University was established and is main tained for mountaineers of eastern Tennessee who are in tellectually hungering .... "Hollins College -in south western Virginia originated i:f an old hotel where Andrew Jack son used to stop on his way from Tennessee to Washington and drink the sulphur water . . . "To mention only these four or five institutions is unfair to 1 many another. For throughout I the South there are scores of all 'classes of higher institutions that 'are moved by the same spirit. . With tens of thousands of men and women brought in contact with something of the record of ! human experience, the South can not remain what it has been . "No one who cares for the f u- ! ture of the United States of 'America wishes to see these all Southern institutions be made in to the standard pattern of the North. The South, if she is persistent, .can-eventually bring an infusion of gefitler blood." chapel hell, n. a, Tuesday, November 25, 1930 mm LIAMSMTETGES First Case, Alston vs. Kennedy Is Nol Pressed on Testimony Of Officer. The first case on the docket of the recorder's court Saturday was nol prossed. This case be tween George Alston, colored, and John Kennedy, wrhite, which was concerned with the collision of their cars November 12 was thrown out of court when Officer Wright testified that the acci dent was unavoidable. C. D. Dowdy plead guilty to driving an automobile while under the influence of intoxicat ing Jiquor. The defendant drove into a cement wall and damaged his car to the extent of sixty dollars. Dowdy was fined fifty dollars and was sentenced to three months on the road; sen tence was suspended upon the condition that he would not operate a- motor vehicle in Orange county for a period of three months. , Charles Edwards, colored, was charged with , driving past the red signal light at the inter section of Franklin and Colum bia streets. Edwards plead not guilty. He stated that an other car turned the corner in such a way that it was necessary for him to continue past, the light in order to avoid an acci dent. The defendant was found guilty and paid the costs. Ernest King, colored, plead guilty to,, the charge of ap pearing in a public place in a drunken condition. The defend ant was found near the Friendly Cafeteria about midnight a week ago Friday and was ar rested.

Steinreich Tradition tells us that at noon on the day of the laying of the cornerstone of Old East, Wil liam R. Davie and the official party had lunch under a large tree, supposedly a poplar, near the newly erected building. From that time down to the pre sent day the tree has been known as the Davie Poplar. . In 1793 the tree was probably straight and beautiful. Today it is still beautiful, although it inclines a bit toward the south, as though the tremendous trunk were too heavy for the roots underneath. Wire cables, at tached to the upper branches of younger and sturdier trees neart by, help to support it. Three Presidents of the Unit ed States have stood under Davie Poplar; James Knox Pplk was here in 1847, James Buchanan in 1859, and Andrew Johnson in 1867. Buchanan received a special ovation and was kissed by the belles at the commence ment he was attending. Unhap pily he was a confirmed bachelor and the kisses were wasted. The Davie Poplar is consider ed by many as the heart of the I Carolina campus. Since the old days the tree has been one of the favorite gathering places on the campus. Perhaps the time DEBATERS MEET STATE TONIGHT The time for the debate with State College has been changed o'clock, so that it will not con flict with the giant send-off that is planned for the football team tonight. The annual forensic contest with State has been on the Tar Heel schedule since 1924 in which the varsity team won the affirmative end of a dual affair by an audience vote of 68-32. Since that time teams from the state's leading institutions have been meeting on the rostrum each year. Some of these de bates have been no-decision af fairs, but Carolina has won a majority of those in which a de cision was given. The meet tonight will be on the question, Resolved : That the nations of the world should adopt a free trade policy. The Carolina team will uphold the negative side. The varsity will be represented by J.-C. Williams, who has competed in, and help ed to win more debates than any other student of the present stu dent generation, and by C. A. Shreve, also ah experienced de bater. The audience will judge S this debate by registering their shift of opinion. Crane Supervises Psychology Clinic Dr. Harry W. Crane of the De partment of Psychology and Di rector of the Bureau of Mental Health and Hygiene of the North Carolina State Board of Chari ties and Public Welfare, return ed Saturday from Salisbury where he had held a clinic in connection with the Salisbury city schools. In this clinic the children were given the Stafford revision of the Binet-Simon psy chological test; a test that is given to "problem" children. Dr. Crane was assisted in giving this test by Dr. Goudge of Durham. On Thursday, Dr. Crane was called from Salisbury to Mocks ville to examine and testify at a sanity hearing. when the old tree is most im portant is at commencement, when the graduating class gathers under it every day dur ing senior week and the alumni come back to 'sit under it and re call fond memories. The faculty commencement procession forms in front of Alumni hall, just to the east of thre tree, and marches from there to the exer cises in Memorial hall. At the present time the trunk of the tree, measured five feet above the ground, is sixteen; feet four inches in circumference and five feet two inches in diameter. Up to about thirty feet from the ground the poplar is covered with ivy, especially thick on the north .side:. Most of the limbs are gone, though there re mains one tremendous limb, at least two feet in diameter: According to the nationally prominent University botanist, Dr. W. C. Coker; then Davie Poplar is incorrectly named. Botanically speaking, it is not a ! member of the poplar- family, but of the; tulip family. The scientific name is Lirodendron tulipifera. This species of tree i is closely related to the magnolia and is known to grow to a great isize. In the southeastern part of the United States-the tulip -is the second, largest tree, while the (Continued en feet page) 'ionstec i&auy jqi. : To Give Team -s "Ever-Sniteh" Will Be Produced This Afternoon at Four The play Ever-Snitch will be given this afternoon at four o'clock in the Playmakers theatre.

NUMBER 5S en 1 A r c Uvil Entire Student Body Will As semble By Old Well TcrJ-ht At 8:45. PRESIDENT ON PROGRAM Team Needs Only Confidence ar.d The Support of the Campus, Says Writer. Tonight at 8:45 the students of the University will have an opportunity of redeeming their former disloyal attitude by in stilling a feeling of confidence in the Carolina team. This evening the student body will assemble before the Old Well to give the Tar Heel team a send-off that will show them that the Univer sity is wholly behind them and will on Thanksgiving Day and December 6 accept nothing but victory. Cameron Avenue will be en tirely blocked off and no auto mobiles will be allowed to pass through. Cards with the cheers on them will be distributed. At 8:45 the band will play Carolina songs and the cheer leaders will lead the singing. Nine o'clock will be ushered in amidst a burst of cheers for. the team. Presi dent Graham will give a short talk at 9:05. The interfraternity council and the dormitory pre sidents have exerted themselves to the utmost in order to make the send-off a "howling" suc cess ana will succeed, if you, and your room-mate, and your dormitory, or fraternity and the student body, and Chapel Hill come to this pep meeting and show your team that you believe that they have the stuff to win the rest of the games on this season's schedule. In courtesy to the team, and the University, E. Carrington Smith of the Carolina theatre announced that in view of the- mass meeting the feature show this evening will not begin until 9:30. Carolina has suffered no ex tremely disastrous defeats, and yet the students here criticise the team and are entirely pes simistic as to the outcome of the next two games. Georgia beat Yale, and until the last period the Tar Heels held Georgia to a lone touchdown. Tennessee, acknowledged as one of the out standing teams -6f the country, barely nosed Carolina out 9-7. The Tar Heels smeared the Ramblin' Wreck. With the . re cord that the Carolina team has made there should be no reason for pessimism, on the contrary, a feeling of optimism should per vade the campus. Up to the Yale game, Harvard had scored no victories in major contests this year. If any team should have had their morale destroyed it should have been this one, but the students at (Continued on last page) BRADSHAW AND JOHNSTON MAKE VOCATIONAL TALKS Dean F. F.
