Included on the program will be Stringfield's latest composi tion, "A Mountain Episode," i suite in three parts for string quartet. The suite is suggestive of the moods through which moonshiner passes while at work over his still, exercising what he regards as his human rights. Three Movements The first movement, "At a Still," reflects the moonshiner's desire for power and quiet satis faction as a craftsman who loves to turn out a good product. "On the Cliff," the second movement, introduces a note of fear and un easiness, mingled with his pride as a man, during his constant vigil for revenue officers. The third movement, "A Moonshiner Laughs," expresses his exultation in his strength and cunning, and his defiance of laws and convention. A mood of his fundamental religion, as well as his love for Saylunes on his "fiddle," when he plavs the old folk tune, "Sour- wood Mountain," several times, is brought out in this last move ment. Other numbers included on (Continue! on last page) Group To Recommend Co-eds Be Allowed To Visit Greeks Final recommendation on the University regulation prohibit ing co-eds from visiting fratern ity houses will be made by the Administrative Board of the Di vision of Student Welfare in a luncheon session at 1 :00 o'clock tomorrow in Graham Memorial. A special committee, includ ing Mrs. Marvin Stacy, Dean F. F. Bradshaw, Irvin Boyle, presi dent of the Interfraternity coun cil, and Janie Jolly, president of the Woman's association, have decided to recommend at the meeting that fraternity houses be allowed to request the privi lege of receiving women stu dents from 3:00 o'clock until 10:30 o'clock, the curfew hour for co-eds. CONCERT TICKET SALES ARE RAPID Students Are Urged to Take Advantage of Special Rate for Rachmaninoff Program. At Saturday noon the ticket sale for the Rachmaninoff piano concert on February 21 was less than 25 short of the 500 mark. Sponsors of the concert feel that this is a remarkable record. The ticket sale opened last Monday almost six weeks in ad vance of the concert, and the re sponse Has been more rapid than any other musical attraction has ever experienced here. One thing that the music de partment calls particular atten tion to is the fact that there is a limited number of seats at $1.03 being held for students. The University students have been slow to take advantage of this special price which was ob tained with difficulty. Special Student Rate Students from nearby colleges are clamoring ior more ana . -i more of these seats, but the mu sic department has stopped the sale in this price range, feeling that the students of this campus are entitled to their share of these tickets. However, since it is impossible to hold these tic kets indefinitely, students are urged to make their reservation now. The sale for higher class tic kets is at present about equal to that of the $1.03 tickets. ' Present indications are that the entire state will be repre sented at this program. Birthday Committee To Meet Tomorrow The committee in charge of arrangements for the Birthday Partv for President Roosevelt will meet in Graham Memorial tomorrow evening at 7:30 o'clock, according to an an nouncement Saturday by Felix A. Grisette, chairman. Final plans for the patty to be staged on Tuesday night, January 30, will be completed at the meeting Monday night and Grisette urges everyone who has agreed to assist to attend. ENGINEERS TO BE SHOT Members of the American In stitute of Civil Engineers ana of the American Institute of Mechanical Engineers will meet in front of Phillips hall Wednes day morning at 10:23 o'clock for the purpose of taking the pic tures for the 1934 Yackety Yack. It is imperative that all members be prompt. Fraternities applying for this privilege would be required to sign an. application containing the following provisions: "Only the social rooms, halls, porches and dining room, on the first floor, will be open to co-eds. "During the visiting hours there will be no drinking or serving of intoxicating drinks." Other matters to be con sidered at the meeting are the use of Graham dormitory for women, CWA work for college students, and recommendations concerning improvement of placement and vocational guid ance facilities for University students. Committee reports will be made on the first three topics. DI WILL DISCUSS CO-OPEANERS Popular Question of Cultural or Enjoyable Entertainment Programs on Bill. The Di senate, following' its policy of discussing campud problems, has three bills con cerning such questions on slate for the meeting to be held Tues day night. The first of these bills is one that was left over from the last meeting of the group because of a shortage of time. It is: Re solved : That the student co operative cleaners constitute a violation of the principles of fair competition and should be placed under the NRA code for cleaners. Another, question to be de bated is: Resolved: That the student entertainment programs should have more emphasis placed upon pure entertainment than upon cultural advance ment. . Popular Question This is a question that is dis cussed frequently by the mem bers of the student body at large. It has recently come into the limelight again because of an interest shown in it by the freshman executive committee. This group has requested all campus organizations to discuss the question and to make sug gestions as to the kind of enter tainment preferred. A third bill which will be de bated is: Resolved: That the Publications Union board has no authority to create scholar ship funds for use by members of the publications' staffs only from money which has been con tributed by the student body at large. This bill will complete the pre-planned discussion. FROSH WILL CONDUCT IMPORTANT BUSINESS Freshman assembly will be devoted tomorrow to an impor tant business meeting of the class, it was announced yester day from the office of the dean of students. Upton Close, noted writer and commentator on international politics, who is - being brought here by the University Y. M. C. A., will speak . to the first year class on the subject "How Youth Can Fit in the New Deal, Monday, January 29. Soph Exec Committee There" will be an important meeting of the sophomore execu tive committee tomorrow at 7:30 o'clock in Graham Memo rial. BOARD MAY MAKE AWARDS DESPITE ADVERSE OPINION Scholarships Technically Exist But Board Slay Drop Mat ter at Next Meeting. CONSIDERED POOR POLICY The scholarships created by the Publications Union board and declared not justified by the student activities committee Fri day night are still in existence and action will be taken by the board early next week, it was learned yesterday. Although they may still be awarded, it is expected that the i board will act in accordance with the committee's recommen dation and abolish the funds en tirely as a poor policy. The action of the committee in defeating the motion favoring the scholarships caused R. B. House, executive secretary of the University, to declare them abolished as far as the Univer sity scholarship committee was concerned. This committee, in whose hands the P. U. board placed the scholarships for ad ministration, had made the four selections for the funds condi tionally awaiting the vote of the activities committee as to the justification for the board's ac tion in their creation. j Not Administrated f When the activities group voted against the scholarships as being an unj ustified policy, those who had been named for the funds were notified that the scholarships no longer existed in the form of funds admin istrated through the University. Technically, the P. U. board can ask for applications and go through with the scholarship program. The advisability of such a procedure will be one of the major questions confronting the board composed of two new faculty members at its first meeting soon. The feature of the scholar ships stipulating that they be limited to members of the staffs of campus publications was the point at issue in the opposing decision. The activities commit tee felt that the board had no power to use money coming di- , rectly or indirectly from student fees for the benefit of a small group of staffmen. Absurd Yarns Spun By Students lo Escape Paying Library Fines o- ... Only Legitimate Excuses Are jectea lu ijisieiuiig iu x-cuivoslic laics, lines vunecveu Are Used for Purchasing Books and Periodicals. If ever an. intangible spirit prompts the formation of a lo cal chapter of Lowell Thomas' bumptious Tall Story club, the University's librarians are de termined to submit a roster of members already in good stand ing. The checkers-in-and-out of the best and "not so best" of the world's literature have in their time heard whoppers which make Thomas' collection sound like most unchallenged reality. Members of the staff in the reserve room and at the general circulation desk listen daily to elaborate yarns,, distractedly de vised by students seeking to avoid paying fines for books overdue. Not long ago one sly little chap offered the excuse that the book had been , picked up by a professor who had sub sequently left town for a week. Carolina Composer I V I i Lamar Stringfield, whose lat est composition, "A Mountain Episode," will be played by the Stringfield ensemble of the North Carolina Symphony soci ety this afternoon. Cabinets Adopt Plan For Public Meetings The Y. M. C. A. cabinets have adopted a program of public meetings once a month, at which a prominent visiting speaker will deliver an address on some vital religious topic. The speeches will be followed by general discussion. Dr. E., McNeill Poteat of Ral eigh will speak at the first meet ing of the series tomorrow night at 7:15 o'clock in Gerrard hall. -His topic is "The1 Status of Religion Today." Students are invited to attend these meetings and to present any questions concerning relig ion for forum discussion after the address. Pf ohl Will Present Concert Wednesday James C. Pfohl, director of music at Davidson College, will give an organ concert Wednes day evening at 8:30 o'clock in Hill Music hall. Pfohl was a student at the University a few years ago. From here he went to the Uni versity of Michigan, where he graduated from the school of music, with honors in the field of the organ. He went to David son this year as director of mu sic. He is the son of Bishop Pfohl of Winston-Salem. Accepted by Staff Which Is Sub- Another concocted the appeal ing tale to the effect that he had: sent a pledge to the library with j the book, but the pledge had taken sick on the way. In the general confusion of caring for the stricken one, the volume had, of course, been completely forgotten.'-, Garden-Variety Excuses . Stock excuses center around the simple, "I forgot it," or "I didn't know the regulations." A plea of ignorance is sometimes accepted from a freshman, but when an upperclassman looks innocent and , claims never to have heard of the rulings, the matter is hastily terminated by, "Sixty cents, please" and a dole ful, reluctant payment. As might be expected, the major source of difficulty is the reserve reading room.

Homer Schiff Saint-Gaudens, director of fine arts at the Car negie Institute, will deliver an other student entertainment lec ture Tuesday night at 8:30 o'clock in Hill music auditorium. His subject, though the exact title has not yet been announced, will deal with his reminiscences of his father, the famous sculp tor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Augustus Saint-Gaudens is considered one of America's greatest sculptors. He was born in France, and from his earliest days worked at sculpturing. Famous Works His best known work in the United States is the Abraham Lincoln statue in Chicago. This figure represents Lincoln stand ing in front of an armchair with one hand on the lapel of his coat in a characteristic pose. It is said .to be the greatest : por trait statue in America. Another creation for which the elder Saint-Gaudens is known is the Adams memorial in Washington, by some called "Grief," and by others, "Death." It has as its most striking feat ure a shrouded bronze figure leaning back against the stone of the memorial. Since no one has . yet quite discovered what it is intended to portray, it is the American Mona Lisa.
