Freshmen Enpress With Speakers On Town Takes Part In National Fete Crowds, laughter and spon taneous entertainment heralded in the Chapel Hill celebration of President Roosevelt's birthday party. A string band opened the pro gram with several popular songs, and continued playing un til the over-packed ball room was quiet. F. A. Grisette introduced Bill Olsen, the master of cere monies, who, without more ado tufriM;the::p"rograni over, to Lewis Humphries, a tap dancer. He pleased the audience with his naive mannerisms" as well as his excellent tap work. Miss Marion Tatum perform ed a Mexican Hat Dance. The intricate heel beats, the swish of the many skirts, and Miss jTatum's come-hither look won ' UrY fromOTlHAlia QTlTll O 11 CC Richard Chase's Punch chat ted gaily about nothing in par ticular, and, by their ridiculous remarks, brought forth numer ous laughs from the audience. More Dancing Dancing seemed to make up the largest part of the program, for Chase was followed by a huck and wing dancer, Pete Horn, commonly known as Pico lo Pete. As he finished, an un known gentleman offered his services, and contributed a live ly tap dance; then he and Horn did a duet dance until their breaths finally gave out. Those two inimitables, Op and Loretta presented a skit about a' school teacher and her class, who were giving an entertain ment for the Parent Teachers association. Op played the roles of the eight pupils. The favor ite one in this skit was the "Give me liberty of give me death" speech, in which Op portrayed a youthful and befuddled school boy. Coach Snavely spoke briefly to the audience, and expressed his pleasure at being here at the University. The chorus from "Princess Ida" left rehearsal long enough to sing the finale of the second act. Although they appeared a bit tired, they performed gaily, and won the hearty approval of those present. After a grand march led by Mr. and Mrs. Grisette, Bo Bow man and his band furnished ex cellent music for those who stayed for dancing. The President's Chapel Hil party was acclaimed as a decid ed success. Economics Seminar j To Hear Miss Mason Miss' Lucy Mason, general secretary of the National Con sumers league will address the economics seminar tonight and a special assembly, of the fresh man class tomorrow in Memo rial hall. Miss Mason has been active in setting up various in dustrial codes in Washington. The National Consumers lea gue, which Miss Mason repre sents, is interested in the main tenance of labor standards and in protecting consumers. Ihe meeting of tne class on Thursday will take the place of the usual Friday meeting of the class, and there will be no fur ther meetings this week. Dissatisfaction Chapel Program First-Year Men Would Supplant Lectures with Athletic Talks And Jazz Orchestras. , Freshmen flatly assert their opposition to chapel programs. The many representatives of the class interviewed by a staff member agree that the fare of fered at present is dull and un interesting and appears im possible of improvement. The majority plead, "Do away with chapel altogether . . . it's a nuisance." Humorous and di verse reasons are presented for the hearty disdain for chapel, and more humorous are the sug gestions brought forward for the replacement of the "nuis ance." One issue is clear throughout freshmen are not interested in intellectual discus- sions or lectures, ana tney are scarcely bashful in enunciating their convictions. Too Much Trouble Further inquiry into the rea sons for chapel being dubbed a "nuisance" revealed that fresh men admit that they are too lazy to spend half an hour assem bling, sitting down, and stand ing up as they are required to. More serious-minded yearlings claim that the time could be bet ter utilized by converting it in to a study period. Others com plain that the speakers interfere frequently with tne study sur reptitiously carried on under their noses. In general, freshmen request the complete abolition of chapel period as it exists at present. Their plan is to hold meetings only at such times as the dean of students wishes to convey an important message to the class as a whole. The alternative, which was not too strongly ad vocated, was "to make the pro grams really interesting." To the majority of the freshmen interviewed "interesting" signi fied a program based on sports. "We'd much rather hear some fellow speak on athletics and campus activities than some man lecturing on personality and that stuff," was the usual comment. There were no suggestions for speakers on any other topics. Want Jazz Programs As a relief from sports, fresh men would be pleased to listen to orchestras playing the latest jazz tunes. "That's what we want, music. Let's have a good orchestra every chapel period. Archie Davis or Bill Allsbrook could do the trick." One person suggested dancing and singing programs augmented by sketch es similar to those of the Play makers' Revels. One or two lovesick girls expressed the coy (Continued on page two) 1 fSTXTFTrYCTW f IT ATTflfl HAVE IJEEHNGS Both Di and. Phi Discuss Stu dent Entertainments; Clai boro Carr. Speaks at Phi. Both the Di and the Phi con ducted their regular weekly meetings last night. Each of the organizations discussed the Student Entertainment series and committee, and came, to similar decisions. Claiborn Carr, editor of the Daily Tab Heel, spoke at the meeting of the Phi. DI SENATE The Dialectic senate in ses sion last night passed by a vote of 11-16 the bill: Resolved: That the student entertainment programs should have more em phasis placed upon pure enter tainment than upon cultural ad vancement. The senators speaking did not condemn the choice of the stu dent entertainment committee in the past. Many who have seen the programs in past years strongly defended the selections presented heretofore. The strongest objection to the series this quarter was in regard to the production of "Ghosts" by the Hammer troupe. The Maier-Patterson concert was highly praised as was the Vienna choir of boys.. Opinion was in favor, however, of plac ing more stress upon choosing entertainments that had already proved themselves popular. i It was disclosed at the meet- " - fContrmifd on pa a twin I - it muWSU ItKII! pm Varied Program Of Entertainment Planned For Friday And Saturday With two full days of enter tainment scheduled for Friday and Saturday, University stu dents are preparing for the busi est week-end of the winter quar ter.
