C; fi FAT AFT Uli EXHIBITS PHASES ART TONIGHT i1 John Midholiand, Comparing Skill in Magic to Dramatic Performance, Will Present Illustrated Lecture on His Pro fession at 8:30 O'clock. IS' ONE OP STTOEOT SERIES John Mulholland,: famous ma gician who appears on a student entertainment program tonight at 8 :30 o'clock in Memorial hall, differs 'from the other members of his trade in that he denies mysticism in any part in magic and refutes : the popular belief that the hand is quicker than the eye. In addition to his' insistence that magic is mental, not visual, Mulholland declares that special apparatus and concealed pockets are not nearly so important as the lay public believes. "Mag ic " he says, "is a highly special ized form of acting; and not a combination of rapid juggling and an exhibition of mechanics." Like Drama Continuing his comparison be tween the principles of drama and of magic, Mulholland be lieves that the audience in both cases derive their joy from be ing deceived, and that, when the illusion is broken by a prema "ture divulging of the plot or by poor acting on the part of the performer, the spectators are bitterly disappointed. . Mulholland is. considered an authority on the history of ma gicians and the lore of the art. His program will take the form of a lecture on all phases of the art accompanied by various feats of magic. ; SQUAD TO DEBATE EMORY AND TECH Fairley and Kellar Will Take on Georgia Tech .Tomorrow Night on Subsidizing Athletes; Dur fee and Rankin Mee Emory.

Not even that ex traordinary gentleman, the man on " the flying: trapeze who; has recently captivated the entire singing body on the campus, has any appeal for officialdom one mile outside of Chapel Hill. Six University students. among them John Acee, the mild, reserved president of the Y. M. C. A., were obliged, yes- terday to pay the township of Carrboro $11.60 for the privi lege of singing- the praises of the daring young man. The six villains, having corn- pieted a pleasant swimming junket, returned through Carr- boro, vocalizing the exploits of the trapeze, artist. Except for incidental touches their singing was in a low tone. But as they stretched one of the "Ohhhs" they were halted by a dour-Iook- ing citizen who asked naively what they were doing. Have to See Mayor "Singing," was the uncertain reply. "Well' you'll have to see the mayor about that." Yesterday afternoon the half dozen blackguards marched into the courtroom where the mayor read out the warrant against them. The admirers of the trapeze artist, it seems, were ' I disturbing the peace. They were not a little aston ished when the man who had stopped them the day before COBB ADVOCATES PEACE FOR WORLD "Nothing can save the world but a heightened spiritual con sciousness of world brother hood," stated Dr. Stanwood Cobb, former professor at Rob- hprts Cnllpo-p. Constantinonle. last night in Qerrard hall. 0 ' "Selfishness is the reason for the wrongs today between na tions. Self-centered emotions must be ruled, and instead of ruling emotions by intelligence, we allow our emotions to use our intelligence as a tool. Dr. Cobb stated that there must be universal education and an international language to bring more cooperation between lands. Efforts Underway r j t ' : . ti f ' T j? btudent foreign rohey JLeague A group of University stu dents interested in public affairs are at present making an effort to estaDiisn an orgamzauun through which student opinion may express itself upon current matters relating to the foreign Policy of our government. tefnatibnal politics upon which the government must declare its attitude, .but there ' are few op- portuhities afforded him to ex- press his opinion to those charged with tne responsibility of conducting the relations "of the United States with foreign gor- ernments ,' ,- In British universities there is a definite organization which serves this purpose. It is hoped j that there may be built up here in the University a similar or- gnization which will permit its members to express definite at Xotal of $11.60 to i Township rose to speak in their defense. Arguing that their singing had caused no real damage, he urged leniency for them. , His honor pondered the ques-1 tfori, spoke at length on how, easy he would be, and then ut tered his judgment. Stating that they had been willfully driving down the main street, singing and shouting and disturbing, the public, peace, he charged them $11.60 court costs and bade them be, gone. ; , Flour for the Mayor Later on, one of the party re called that as the car had been stopped, an anonymous individ ual sitting close by had mur mured, "There's six bags of flour for the mayor." The students who were so in terested in the exploits of the flying trapeze were, in addition to Acee, John Dapp Hershey, William St. Julien Jervey, Wal ter Patton, W. C. Scott, and John Rainey. Acee's only comment on the affair was, "I think it was a lousy deal." Hershey, however, insisted, "I was just one of the Goon girls." : Since the payment of the fine there has been no slackening of interest in the man on the fly ing trapeze. All of the dastard- lly individuals have gone right on singing lustily of the marvel ous gentleman. Their only de sire is to hear the strains of the air come blowing over from the righteous town, of Carrboro.
