Carlys In Violin Concert
On Campus Monday Night
Earl Carlys, who is widely ac
claimed as one of America’s finest
young violinists, was heard with
pleasure by an appreciative audi-1 ^
ence when he appeared in concert I
in Elon’s Whitley Auditorium on
Monday night. His concert was an
other in the series of the Elon
Lyceum programs for this year.
The visiting artist, who is a native
of Chicago, spent his early years
in California and began the study
of the violin at the age of ten. He
has since spent many years studying
in both the United States and Eur
ope, much of the time under a
grant from the David Epstein Me
morial Foundation.
In addition to his Epstein grant,
his youthful genius won for him
a full-time two-year scholarship at
the Paris Conservatore in France
and a six-year scholarship at the
Julliard School of Music, where he

Carlys made his orchestral debut
at the age of fifteen with the Pasa
dena Symphony and a few months
later appeared with the San Gabriel
Symphony. That same year he went
to Europe and appeared in forty re
citals in Scandinavian nations. He
“the young violinists acquaintance
with the great masters assured one
that he has all the possibilities of

At a meeting on Wednesday night,
he third during the month of April,
he Senate was faced with four bills

ween April 23 and May 6. As this
-rticle was written, the fate of
legislation on the Senate floor Wed

Other legislation included a bill

Two constitutional amendments al
so were brought onto the floor. One
would release two of the campus’
oublications, the Maroon and Got'’
'ind the Phi Psi Cli, from the bond
of the Student Government Associa

section of the constitution dealing
with the cheerleaders so that they
might become a regular segment of
the SGA. Another bill sets up the
Cheerleading Squad in the status of
1 standing committee.

Professor h
Elon Spcfihrr
►
Dr. Richard L. Watson, Jr., chair
mm of the department of history at
iko University, who is widely
known as the outstanding authority
of the late Furnifold M. Simmons,
long-time United States Senator
from North Carolina, delivered the
fifth annual Pi Gamma Mu lecture
in Mconev Chanel Theatre on
Thursday night, April »th.
The lecture by Dr. Watson, was on
Ihe subject of "Simmons vs. Bailey:
The North Carolina Primary oj
1930,” being pre.sented as another
in the scries of outstanding pro
grams which were inaugurated five
years ago by the Elon chapter of
Pi Gamma Mu, national social sci
ence fraternity.
Other outstanding figures in the
field of history and social science
who have appeared in earlier Pi
Gamma Mu lectures at Elon have
included Dr. Fletcher Green, of the
University of North Carolina; Dr.
Wallace McClure, of Duke Univer
sity; Norman Larsen, director of
the North Carolina Conferederate
Centennial; and Dr. Will P. Gum
ming, of Davidson College.
These annual programs have be
come an integral part of the Pi
Gamma Mu program at Elon each
year. The local group, which is
composed of outstanding students
and faculty members in the social
science field, has for its purpose
the timulation of interest in study
of various ocial sciences.
The Democratic primary of 1930
in North Carolina, which was one
of the epochal struggles in the
state's history, and its discussion by
Dr. Watson tomorrow night should
be of great interet. The Duke fac
ulty man has studied the life of the
late Senator Simmons for many
years with the object of writing a
biography of the long-time Tar Heel
political leader.
Dr. Watson, who holds both the
M. A. and Ph. D. from 'Vale, has
taught history at Duke for many
years except for an interval of five
years during which he was in the
armed services. He holds member
ship in numerous academic and
honorary organizations and has writ
ten extensively on historical suly
jeots.
