No Local Opinion
No expression of local opinion
could be obtained by the Daily
Tar Heel yesterday and no re
ports from Raleigh indicated
that the presentation of such
bills was in the offiing.
At the same time the board
of trustees and various adminis
trative officers of the Greater
University are setting the ma
chinery in order for a consoli
dated school to be in smooth
working order by next Septem
ber. The . board has scheduled
a meeting for January 15 to con
sider, among other things, the
selection of the third vice-presi-j
dent of -the jGreaterUniversity j
. Iroller.
The bills which may go to the
legislature, the state alumni
pointed out, will be based on the
opinion that the merger, pro
posed to save money, will not
only fail to do that, but will ne
cessitate a greater expenditure,
than the operation of separate
institutions. The necessity for
three vice-presidents to liead the

At Colonial Exposition
Shankar and his dancing troupe
to regale our senses with the
strangest, most exotic, most
stirring spectacles in the ex
perience of western art and
music.
With this company of dancers
and musicians which comes to
Memorial hall, Wednesday night
as a presentation of the Enter
tainment Committee, Shankar
will reveal the dances of India
which contain the -core of the
cosmos as the Hindus have per
ceived it for thousands of years.
Portray Love
All the Shankar dances por
tray love. Dealing with love,
they play its whole octave of
emotions, ranging from en
chantment, melancholy " ' and
opulence o erotic ecstacy, ris
ing finally to their fine culmina
tion in the rarified air of div
inity. These dances deal with
the gods the wizard gods of
India whose drama are those of
human beings elaborately sym
bolized and touched with nobil
ity. The dances overwhelm the
Occidental senses with the pri
mitive splendor which has made

dean not later than March 15.
Approximately 250 such appli
cations have been made, accord
ing to Dean Pierson. This is an
exceptional number as the for
mal announcement of the open
fellowships and offices has just
been released.
Twenty-six University fellow
ships are available in the grad

to men, and each fellow is ex-
Paris, Shankar and his troupe
will display for the first time on
the Hindu art, its lavish cos
tumes, strangely thrilling native
orchestra music, all profound
satisfactions for the soul.
One of the strange features of
the series of dances will be the
method in which the dancers will
respond to applause. Instead of
bowing in Occidental fashion,
Shankar and his troupe will
place the palms of their hands
together under their noses, then
bending forward reverently, as
if addressing some deity, will
accept the audience's apprecia
tive applause.
Shankar studied dance under
the late Maharaja Jhalawa; then
took work in the Royal College
of Arts in London ; climaxed his
studies by learning under Anna
Pavlowa, famed European dan
cer. He later forsook his work
and began a research of the an
cient dances and old music of
Hindustan. ,
The first performance made a
large hit in Manhattan last
week. Time, the weekly news
magazine, describes its first ap
pearance as : "The curtain went

Executive Secretary Discusses
Every Man as His Own Atlas
In Apqthesis of Hooey.
R. B. House, executive secre
tary of the University, yesterday
delivered in assembly a lecture
entitled "Every Man His Own
Atlas," or, "The Apothesis of
Hooey."
House started off with the
idea that winter is the time to
get down to study. He stated
that he agreed with Dean Brad
shaw that intestinal fortitude is
important in life, but he also
wishes to extol intellectual per
spiration. In college, accord
ing to House, students will get a
general knowledge which will be
broadened by future experience
after graduation. He claimed
that too many people use their
education only to read the head
lines. They form a desire to
leave college to help make those
headlines, he asserted.
Atlas was the only man who
could hold up the world, accord
ing to House. Too many col
lege students are concerning
themselves with trying to hold
up the world, not paying enough
attention to holding themselves
up and tending to their personal
development.

Fred Faro, colored janitor
employed at the S. P. E. house,
was shot in the kidney Sunday
night a few minutes before 7 :00
o'clock by an unidentified ne
gro as a result of an argument
tne previous evening, rne ex
tent of his injuries could not be
determined last night.
Faro who had been engaged to
cook a midnight meal for a group
of white people was accosted on
his way to his work by a negro
who demanded food, offering to
sing and dance for the group in
payment for the meal. Accord
ing to the story told, after enter
taining the whites and consum
ing a considerable quantity of
corn whiskey he demanded the
food, but Faro refused, promis
ing him his dinner after the
guests had finished theirs. The
stranger drew a gun, however,
which Faro wrested from him
and emptied of ammunition af
ter a brief struggle.
Attacks Next Evening
The next evening about night
fall the negro returned to find
Faro in Shantytown, and com
insr upon him discharged the
load into his abdomen. Particu
lars of the shooting could not be
obtained from the excited spec
tators, other than the fact that
Faro fled from his assailant,
saving himself further injuries.
Faro was taken shortly after the
shooting to the Lincoln hospital
in Durham, where the bullet will
be removed from his side.
The police of Chapel Hill are
conducting an investigation as
to the identity of Faro's assail
ant who supposedly lives in the
neighborhood of Roxboro. . ; n
