The recommendation will be made in a written petition, they said, which will suggest a winter quarter date "be cause by that time the student body has become orientated and adjusted, there is not a great deal of social or athletic activity, and everyone is glad to cooperate in the interest of such an occasion." Dr. Dashiell Proposes Change The faculty today is expected to consider a proposal made the fall quarter by Dr. J. F. Dashiell of the psychology department, advocating that in the future the holiday be held in the fall quarter on a Saturday, preferably one on which a home foot ball game is being played. Dr. Dash iell said that the length of the fall quarter will make the interruption of classwork less serious. "It would seem best to put it on a Saturday," he ex plained, "because when it comes on a weekday, it throws a monkey wrench into laboratory work which is planned week by week." The petition by co-chairmen Lips comb and Stanback continued, "Of necessity, due to the weather during the winter quarter, most students do not leave the campus and, therefore, Student-Faculty day is not to be con sidered as a holiday for leaving Chapel (Continued on page I, column S) JACKSON SPEAKS TOMORROW NIGHT Labor Man Here For ASU Peace Day Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, in Memorial hall, is the announced time for Gardner Jackson's address to the Peace Day gathering called by the local American Student Union.

NUMBER 160 1 Win YOU filALLORY LEADS BATTING ATTACK Win Gives Carolina Big Five Leadership Bj Bill Beer man This might be Carolina's year in baseball after all. For yesterday a barrel-built south paw named Lefty Cheshire aided and abetted by his mates rejuvenat ed hitting allowed the formerly-terrific Deacons of Wake Forest six hits of a minor nature, struck out 11 men, got two personal hits in three times at bat, saw the famous Tom my Byrne yanked from the mound, and went to "the showers happy after the Tar Heels won the long, wild ball game 4-1. It was the eighth straight win, and gave Carolina an undisputed lead in the Big Five race. Cheshire wormed his way by degrees into some of the tightest spots he or Bunn Hearn ever hoped to see again, but on each occasion the chunky lad settled down like a veteran to alien ate Deacon batters and leave men stranded helplessly on base. Byrne, the man who beat sDuke twice, lasted through , the third in ning, when Carolina stuck together four hits and a couple of walks to score three runs. Tommy was replac ed by Jesse Tharnish, a sophomore who handed out six hits but allowed only one more run. Getting more hits than they've to taled in the last three games, the Tar Heels scored their final tally in the sixth,, just after .Wake made its lone contribution of the day to the score board, s Hitting was heavy.

Henry Wilson Takes Lyric Melody In the introduction and close of the Largo of the "American" sym phony the lyric melody given to the English horn will be played by Henry Wilson, oboist of Duke university.
