SHAWN COIJPANY OFFERSPRCGRATJ Dancing Group Composed En tirely of Men Will Perform In Memorial HalL Ted Shawn, one of America's greatest dancers, will present in Memorial hall, November 27, a program executed by a company composed entirely of men. Shawn, in his previous tours, found that the featured male dancers pleased his audiences most, and this fact gave him the idea of a program featuring men exclusively. This is the first tour on which he has actually made the departure from custom. His theory represented in his newly formed company will do much toward overcoming the prejudice of the American peo ple against male dancing, and against the belief that male dan cers are effeminate. Already many people, have been con verted, much of this being due to the virility and stamina ex hibited by his performers. Dancing Is Art "The dance," Shawn avers, '"cannot reach its complete ful fillment until it becomes an art and career for men as well as women, men of brain as well as brawn! capable of making great lawyers, great merchants, great statesmen, but who see in the dance a wider field of usefulness to humanity The Carolina Playmakers, who have brought to this campus performances in many different fields, now present to the Uni versity the opportunity of see ing one of the few southern per formances of America's " first group cf all male dancers, whose lour has won for Shawn, the pioneer, " far greater : acclaim than any of his previous achieve ments.

EAMLET READING Over 300 Persons Attend First Playxnaker Beading of the Year Sunday Night. About 300 people heard Pro fessor F. H. Koch's reading of 'Hamlet" which initiated the Playmaker's series of monthly reading at the Playmaker's the atre Sunday night. In introductory remarks, Pro fessor Koch stated that a bronze statue to Queen Gertrude -and a grave for Hamlet are material evidences which people have erected to "mere creations of a poefs brain"; for the play, "Hamlet," "was a fable of the 11th century. More booes have been written about Hamlet, Br. Koch said, than have been writ ten about any other character in authentic history. ' Choosing the scene of the throne room, the ghost scene, and the grave diggers scene for a portrayal of Hamlet's charac ter, Professor Koch asserted that he had no sympathy with the notion that Hamlet became insane, but he thought Hamlet feigned a derangement of mind in order that he might trick his enemies. Koch gave as his basis for this decision Hamlet's ad dress to the players wherein all the principles of acting were ob served and the fact that the court of Denmark was so cor rupted with physical and social disorder that Hamlet had to sham madness if he were to make use of the situation. Hamlet, Koch states, was struggling with a problem that EFfV" was bey a s ihoupson PI TO EDIT JOURNAL Official Publication cf North Carolina Student Federation To Be Published Here. Carl G.

SPEAKER ARGUES FORPROfflBraON Poteat Says Prohibitien Is Not Contrary to American Tradition. Dr. Eugene MacNeiH Poteat, Jr., of Raleigh, liberal thinker and prohibitionist, spoke on 'The Validity of the 18th Amendment at assembly in Memorial hall yesterday morn ing... The speaker presented points for both sides in an attempt to refute two of the main argu ments of the anti-prokihtion-ists. The first argument is that prohibition is a violation of the American tradition of personal liberty, and the second is that enforcement is a failure and a source of much corruption. "We do believe in law and gen eral prohibition here in the United States there is prohibi tion of piracy, polygamy, mur der, and so on. The dispute in regard to prohibition as it is generally used today is what is to be prohibited and to how great an extent, Dr. Poteat said. ' ""There are two principles upon which we test the validity of prohibitory laws. These are social practices and the judg ment of scientific investigation, for society has a right to pro hibit anything that is actually or potentially harmful to the in dividual. - "Contrary to ancient custom, the manufacturers of spirituous beverages has passed from the home to the business. The sale of liquor has been stimulated by many means for commercial rea sons. Alcohol is a hindrance to social progress, he said.

Wilson, Jr., Does Not Think Anything Can Be Done About Present Situation. STUDENTS DISCONTENTED "Nothing has been brought to my attention concerning: any plan to make out a deSnite schedule for mid-term examina tions, stated Thomas J. WHson, Jr., UniTersity registrar, yester day. T dont think anything can be dose about making a fixed examination schedule for all the University classes, but of course there is nothing like trying.

Under this code, merit in foot ball, basketball, and baseball will count towards the tsrojihyf but any honors won in boxing or wrestling will receive no credit in the trophy ranking as David son has no boxing team, and Wake Forest neither a boxing nor wrestling team. : ' - The executive committee also decided at this meeting to retain Wendell Home, former presi dent of the Duke student body and, now at the University cf Georgia, as president of the fed eration, since the position is principally one of correspond ence, and he could do his work just as easily from Gee
