POLITY FORUM TO 1IEET FPJDAY Gerrard Hall 7:00 EUSINESS STAFF MEETING - TONIGHT Alumni Building 8:S0 Iiii i 'A n I h y ,TS ! ' VOLUME XXXIX ENTERTABMNT. COMffiTTJMOOKS FIVE ATTRACTION Goya, Famous Spanish Dancer, Will Open Series with Recital, February 6. The University entertainment series, which has been inactive since last June through the lack of a suitable auditorium, re opens February 6 and continues into May, there being five num bers with the possibility of still another. The committee experienced considerable difficulty in secur ing the type of talent which would maintain the high stand ard heretofore in existence. The group" feels that the five num bers for which dates have been definitely set on the University calendar, present . variety and a standard of excellence such as make the individuals or organi zations paramount in their fields. The course is scheduled as follows : February 6, Carola Goya, famous Spanish dancer; February 20, Bruce Bairnsfath er, known as "the man who made the world laugh in its darkest hour," creator of "The Better 'Ole," which played in both Eu rope and America for four years ; March 2 or 8, Gay McLaren, dramatic recitalist, frequently called "the human speaking movie"; March 31, the Kedroff Quartet, noted Russian cathe dral soloists, who have made nine tours across America, and twice that number over Europe ; April 7, Angna Enters in her "Episodes and Creations in Dance Form." The sixth number, which if scheduled will occur in May, will be a recital by one of the lead ing ""vounsr musicians whose . home is in North Carolina. The committee plans -to provide one appearance each year of an on coming native musician whose reputation and record of ad vancement appear to merit this honor. Since no entertainments on the course were presented dur ing the fall quarter, students in the school of education and the college of liberal arts will have the credit of one dollar paid at the time of enrollment carried over to the winter quarter. Out side season tickets will be avail able at the beginning of the next quarter to students, faculty, and townspeople at the ..reduced price of $2.50. y A more detailed announcement of the course will be made after the holidays.

Odum of the University school of Public Wel fare read selections from his unpublished book, Cold' Blue Moon. This is the third volume in the trilogy of Black Ulysses. The first two are Rainbow "Round My Shoulder and Wings On My Feet. Cold Blue Moon is to come out some time this month. The whole book is an at tempt to picture the old planta tion from a new realistic point of view. One of the selections read by Dr. Odum was a descrip tion of a horse race m the old South before the war, told from the point of view of the jockey. At the January meeting of the A.A.U.W., Dr. Guy Johnson of the University faculty will pre sent a paper on negro folk lore. D. T. D.

C THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1930 Screech Owl Takes By Bob Woerner 1 The recent cold spell resulted in a peculiar as well as interest ing occurrence on the campus. A full grown screech owl took the library over as a place of refuge from the severe cold. He prob-lwas ably came in during the night and in the morning he was dis covered perched on top of one of the exhibit cases on the third floor. To each chance passerby he was equally courteous, bowing his head and blinking his eyes sleepily. Cats, dogs, horses, and other domestic animals have been known to rely on human help to keep from freezing, but instances of owls doing this are very rare. His doming to the library seems to indicate that the sages were right when they called the owl the wisest of birds. He wished to use his time ' to the best advantage and so . while he was getting warm he could also "ponder over the i volumes of forgotten lore." I this department possesses. Judge Lindsay Says Modern Youth May Inaugurate Our young people of today are, as a rule, wholesome, sane and sensible," states Judge Ben B. Lindsay in the January Col lege Humor, discussing "Sex and the College Student." "If given half a chance, they will inaugu rate a -moral age the " best yet known in history. They are try ing to accommodate their lives to things as they are. They want to approach experience with less hypocrisy and more honesty. Frankly, they are en meshed in economic and , social conditions in the making of which they had no part. What they are going to do about it they do not yet quite know, but that they will find a way out in line with happiness and a sound morality is highly probable. These are some of the conclu sions I reached in a recent tour 01 American .college communi ties, during which I lectured be fore liberal groups both on and off the campus, on the problems of love and marriage. "TV. - 4-1. J.' -P -J-l All uie U15CUSS1UI1 ( UJ. U1CDC questions I found girls on the whole "much keener and franker than the boys. They were, I should say, more honestly in quisitive and concerned over the future of marriage , and morals. At an exceptionally illuminating discussion at Chicago Univer sity, one of the girls said to me: T think your .program for thelfering with my love life, I think Companionate Marriage is won derful. I want to get married,' she confessed, 'just as soon as possible after I leave college. But until I understood what you meant by Companionate Mar riage, I was afraid that would not be very soon. , My fiance feels the same about it as I do, Leavitt Writes Book On Spanish Author Dr. S. E. Leavitt, of the Spanish department, will have a new book published in "a few days. This volume deals with the Estrella de Seville and Au dres de Claramonte, and will dis cuss the author, date, and sources of this famous play, which has long been attributed to Lope de Vega. The book is the result of Dr. Leavitt's re search in Spanish literature. Refuge In w Library During Recent Cold Screech owls even when full grown are scarcely over five cnes tall and this one was no ex-i" ception. He was grey with brown and black spots scattered prof usely over his back and wings. On the-under side he less speckled and even more beautifully marked. His claws were, long and sharp and his beak a little ominous. His sleepy looking eyes stared at one blink ingly, and he seemed to be on the point of asking a question. The zoology department was notified and soon Mr. Owl was being taken to Davie hall to be put under observation. He of fered no resistance to. being captured, but; as soon as he was in the net he showed a little re sistance. His captor got a few scratches for his painsT but other than that, there was little trouble in making the capture. After a careful study is made of ! him, he will probable be killed, I mounted and added to the col-j lection of stuffed birds which! Great Moral Age but, you see, marriage is one thing and maternity another. Now I have worked all that out to my own satisfaction. Oh, yes I would like to be a mother some day, but neither my fiance nor myself feel that we can af ford that expense for quite awhile. And I think you abso lutely right when you say that a girl should be as much the master of her sex as a boy. She should have her love life with the certainty that it will not re sult in parenthood until she is ready for it.' . . . And then after a moment's silence, touched, it seemed to me, with poignancy, she added, 'How much better it would be for us both not to be tied up with a child or children if we should find out that, after all, we were not suited to each other.' "What she had said seemed to me to be sensible and I com mended her, adding, however, my view that the companionate relationship of which she was so strong an advocate might much better be in Jawful marriage than in liaison. Whereupon a brilliant young girl in the group burst out: 'But say what you will and be as conventional as you please, you know well enough that the judge is right when he says boys don't get married until after they are thirty. And if that is inter- I have just as much right to have that love life out of wed lock as in wedlock. . .' ' "For a moment I was dazed. Was I, after all, a bit old- fashioned in standing for a legal, conventional marriage as a pre liminary ,for any, sex relation ship?" Virginia Prof essor To Address A.I.E.E. The A. I. E. E. will meet to night as usual in Phillips hall. The A. I. M. E., A. I, C. E., and A. S. Ch.

The weekly broadcast from station WPTF in Raleigh went on the air yesterday afternoon at five o'clock with WTill Yar borough, editor of the Daily Tar Heel, speaking about . the four campus publications. Yar borough did not attempt to dis criminate between the merits of the Tar Heel, Carolina Maga zine, Yackety Yack, and Buc caneer, but gave a resume of the purpose of each publication. Jack Dungan, managing editor of the Tar Heel, in his xtalk stressed the technique and mechanics of publishing a paper or magazine. Dungan stated that work on the Tar Heel, the only daily college newspaper in the south, required more hours of en deavor than any single activity in the University, football not excepted. According to the managing editor, there are 300 students employed on the four campus publications who, be cause of practice in handling news, fiction, and money, are be ing trained to be future execu tives. Some of the prominent men developed through working on the University publications are : Phillips Russell, Hatcher Hughes, Thomas Wolfe, Jona than Daniels, and Paul Green.
