Violinist To Begin :
Program At 8:30
In Memorial Hall
Fritz Kreisler, world-famous violin
ist, will appear in concert here tonight
at 8:30 on the stage of Memorial hall.
He will be accompanied by Carl Lam
son, pianist.
Naming Strauss as the outstanding
composer of today, Kreisler considers
Charles Martin Loeffler the leading
American composer. He laments the
fact that the present period has pro
duced no Mozarts or Beethovens but
that because man naturally needs rau
sic, the tide will turn and great com
positions will be written once more.
Also, the violinist feels that the most
beautiful music does not come from
an instrument but from the sound of
the forests.
Born in Vienna, Kreisler studied
both there and in Paris, and his career
has also been influenced by the violin
literature of the Italian 17th and 18th
centuries. He has given concerts the
world over since making his first
public appearance in London in 1902,
and this will not be the first time that
he has included Chapel Hill in an
American tour.
STRADIVARIUS
Carrying out the theory that violins
tire just as human beings do, Kreisler
uses a different one of his four instru
ments on each of his tours. The Stradi
varius is accompanying him on his
present tour. This particular violin was
stolen in Spain during the Napoleonic
war by an English sailor who sold it
to' the keeper of a public house in Eng-

TAR HEEL BEGINS
UNITED PRESS
WIRESERVICE
Special World-News
Summary To Be Tried
For One Week Period
Today the Daily Tar Heel begins
use of the international news-gathering
wire service of the United
Press.
However, the service is this week
in the trial stage. Whether or not
the Daily Tab Heel will continue
this special wire service rests with
the student body.
The Publications Union board
must approve the extra cost for the
service, and Board President Ed
Rankin has stated that he will fol
low the desires of the students as to
whether or not they want this new
feature.
Therefore, the Daily Tar Heel
requests that students please write
in their opinions of the UP news
service as soon as possible. These
opinions will decide whether the fea
ture will be continued.
The Daily Tar Heel believes
that with world conditions as they
are wars in China, Finland, and
France; Congress in what promises
to be a fiery session; and interna
tional politics more active than ever,
it is only carrying out its obliga
tions to its readers in presenting to
the, student body a last-minute di
gest of World news that can be read
over a morning cup of coffee or on
the way to an 8:30.
News will be sent direct on the
Daily Tar Heel's telegraph ma
chine) rin the night, off ice each night
before presstime from the United
Press bureau in Raleigh, from which
source all state newspapers receive
their UP news.
The Publications board controls
the student publications fees and
will do with them what the student
body wants. The answer rests with
the students.

Chairman Nisbet
Outlines Plans
For Spring Campaign
By CHARLES BARRETT
The dust was wiped off Carolina's
famed political pinwheel yesterday and
the battered old disc began rumbling
down the hill toward campus elections
next spring, as Student Party Chair
man Preston Nisbet announced that
representatives to party conventions
would be elected Thursday and Friday
and the first mass assembly of the new
year would be held next week.
Two delegates will be chosen from
each floor of the men's dormitories and
three representatives from each floor
of the women's dormitories in elec
tions to be supervised by dormitory
presidents. Affiliated fraternities will
elect one delegate.
FIRST DUTY
These newly selected representatives
will name a" general campaign mana
ger, campaign chairman for each of
the classes, a party treasurer and a
publicity chairman, at the initial con
vention next week,
"I believe this method of selection
will provide one of the most represent
ative assemblies possible on the Uni
versity campus," Nisbet said yester
day, "and should be the means by
which the Student party can main
tain its traditions of democracy."

one-sixth of the student body, the

Dr. Richardson
Says Situation
Is "Not Alarming
99
Dr. William P. Richardson, Orange-Person-Chatham
district health offi
cer, yesterday called off the President's
Birthday ball and said that "in view
of the present prevalence of colds and
influenza" the local observance will
be confined to a "March of Dimes"
campaign.
The postponement was described by
the health officer as advisable because
a large number of people from Hills
boro and other sections was expected
to attend the dance.
NO ALARM
The condition in the community is
not serious enough to cause alarm, Dr.
Richardson, also chairman of the lo
cal celebration, said. The dance, which
has been given for the past few years,
will probably be given under the spon
sorship of local charities later.
The "March of Dimes" project, which
will be held from January 25 through
January 30, will be conducted by a
community canvas for the sale of in
fantile paralysis emblems. "Though
the nominal price of the emblems is
