The Carolina Playmakers have been making a big hit in the other towns in North Carolina where they have stopped on their State tour, and are impressing their audiences not as precocious amateurs but as a group of clever actors in interesting plays. Says the Greensboro News in com ment on the appearance of the play makers there Saturday: . The organization is becoming the pride of the University. If it main tains its present standard, it will Boon become the pride of North Car olina; its work is characterized by dignity and sincerity without ever losing the first essential that must be possessed by any dramatic or ganization namely, the power to interest. In short, you don't have to be interested in the uplift of the dama, or in the preservation of na tive folk-love to enjoy the Play makers' work; for what they put on is, first and foremost, a rattling good show. ' ' For the first duty of an actor, like that of a writer and most of all a dramatist, is to be interesting. The profoundest wisdom, the most search ing analysis, the most faithful real ism, will not save a play that is dull ; and most amateur theatricals are deadly dull. Right there is where the Carolina Playmakers lose the char acteristic stamp - of the amateur. Whatever else they may be, they are never dull. GILLIE PROCTOR TALKS BEFORE SILL AUDIENCE Substitute For Buck Wimberly Dis cusses Subject," "Why We Are Here." In the absence of Buck Wimberly, Gillie Proctor talked Tuesday night on the subject, "Why We Are Here," in the "Y" building. He literally stirred the half score men present by his forceful and logical discourse, presenting his subject in three di visions. "You are here for studies first. friendship second, and college acti vities third, and the thing to do is select your course and finish it," said Proctor. Speaking from five years' experience, he developed the fact that there are valuable things to gain here in friendship and that in real ity Carolina is a small world of it's own.' : The biggest mistakes on the cam pus are : Men not taking college work seriously, too many bull sessions, too many visits to the Pickwick and ath letics idolized. In closing Proctor said, "A man's character is the big gest and only thing he has." Such in teresting talks every Tuesday night should attract more freshmen.

Vaughn of Class of 1904 Writes "History and Government of New Mexico." University students and alumni will be interested in the recent ap pearance of a very successful book on the "History and Government of New Mexico," written by John H. Vaughn, A. M., of the class of 1904, and now dean of the School of Gen- tl Scierce, and Profe? cr o His tory and Economics in ih.3 New Mex- iio College of Agricu'tuit? and Me chanic Arta. The volume has be-M adopted for so in the public school of New Mexico tor tne next seven years. j.n , announcing the book the publishers said that it is "the first book by a trained historian and teacher of hia- tory to organize into a connected and. measured, not by the small pack-forward-moving narrative, at once I ages mid-night lunchers see at brief, readable and reliable, the' Gooch's, but in cartoons of ten times whole romantic story of the develop- ment of New Mexico and the adja-j cent southwest from the earliest . times through the first decade of statehood." Historians throughout the south- west, who have seen the book, unite ' in their praises of it and its worth. State history writing is one of the most inteiesting forms of history writing and as a result makes inter- esting textbooks, to outsiders as well as residents of the State.

Mr. Vaughn to the best advantage. Carolina can justly be proud of the success that one of her sons is mak ing in a university of the far south west. ; LIVELY SCRAP OCCURS IN COURT Af DANVILLE Danville, Va., May 10. Just be fore the corporation court adjourned at 7:20 this evening in the midst of the argument in the case of the commonwealth vs. Noell, charged with a felon i us assault on a young girl, an exciting clash occurred which at one time threatened to develop into a free fight. S. J. Davis, lead-' ing witness for the prosecution, con- strued certain references in the argument of Julian Meade, councel i for the defense, as a personal affront and, approaching Meade as court ad- journed, asked him if he meant any personal offense. Meade retorted: "I meant every word I said" and reiterated that statement, whereup on Davis, "a man of 67 years, retort ed "then you are a liar." Meade attempted to strike Davis and while those nearby were trying to separate them, Robert B.

BY STUDES AT SWAIN Vast Quantities of Ediblea and Drink' ables Are Consumed by Multi tude of Swainites. One sometimes wonders about the things we eat at Swain Hall. How much tea do we drink? How much sugar do we use, how much every thing do we consume? Although such things have been commented on in The Tar Heel before, and a detailed account of all the food laid before the men who eat there would be too large for common interest, but a few notes recently taken there mg engage our gwain is the life si attention since sustenance of near- iv 700 souls. At breakfast Post Toasties are tlieir capacity. It takes forty-eight 0f these to satisfy the hungry hordes wh0 crowd into "swine" for the morning repast. Hen fruit is de- voured to the tune of 125 dozen per meal. Think of the job one of our faihtful barn-yard fowls would have to produce eggs for one morning's breakfast alone. 1,500 eggs would be quite a task for one, and she cer- tainly would deserve an iron cross when she got through. Moreover it wmiM nrnhnhlv hp a much more dif- . ficuit i0b to eat the eggs were we to SDeakine of chickens it is of in- terest to note that a chicken dinner enjoyed at Swain requires 150 spring young ones to go around. No small item when these noble birds are plac ed on the market at 50c per pound. When . we get bull instead of roosters some 1,400 hundred steaks are brought into the hall. A like amount of pork chops are served when not measured out for individual dishes. Some of this pork comes from Swain's own lots where over 5,000 pounds of meat is raised annually from the wastes alone, The rest of st together with the steak comes from tne packing houses of Armour and Swift. It takes about 200 loaves of bread when corn-bread is not also served. Iced tea is a big item in so far as tne quantity is concerned, Sixty gallon is the amount of this prohibition drink consumed, together with over 100 pounds of sugar and 600 pounds of ice, which, incidental ly, is manufactured in the basement of this hall of many abuses. Besides the sugar and ice some 12 dozen lemons are sliced for those who like a citrus twang to its taste. Fif- ber for the evening meal. Taking the number of biscuits which would be baked there in one year and plac ing them three feet apart they would reach half across the Atlantic, or started at Wilmington, placing them at the same distance in the direction of the other coast a man walking in that course could step on bis cuits all the way to Denver. Swain has her own cold storage plant, makes5her own ice, bakes all her bread, has a vast storage room, and to save all wastes possible, as has been stated before, uses all the scraps to raise pork for consumption on the tables there. GIVES TWO QUARTS OF BLOOD FOR LIVES OF OTHERS Charlotte, May 12. To have given two quarts of his own blood as a free and voluntary gift to strangers is the charity of A. M. Howard, as sistant traffic manager of the Char lotte Shippers and Manufacturers Association, knowledge of whose generous act was revealed through a physician friend. Tuesday morning, by prearrange ment between Mr. Howard and the physician, Mr. Howard went to a hos pital where a woman, prominent ly connected here and in the State, but unknown to Mr. Howard, was in a critical condition. Because of her anaemic, condition, it had be come necessary for the physician to find some one willing to provide healthy blood for transfusion of her body. The physician thought of Mr. Howard, his own friend, and'recall ed that some months ago .he prof fered a quantity of blood to a strang er. He called Mr. Howard and ask ed if he felt like aiding a stranger again. He was at the hospital in a short while and a quart of blood was transfused from his arm to that of the woman. In a few hours she showed remarkable improvement. Mr. Howard suffered no ill conse quences and was at his office and on the streets later in the day feeling as strong as ever.

ALUMNI REVIEW IS PLACED IN MAILS. (Continued From Page One.) so be very interested in an article entitled "Strong Sentiment For Wo man's Building." In this Mr. Gra ham, the writer, analyzes the utter ances that have been forthcoming from prominent citizens in favor of a woman's building at the Univer sity. It seems that this has been especially true since the appropria The tion of the Legislature to the Uni versity. He stresses the important part that the Co-eds have taken in woman's activities for the past few years at the University, and the high position of the women students in the scholastic standing, and the need for erecting a woman's building. FRESHMEN CLEAN UP ON VIR GINIA TRIP. (Continued from page 1) seven Woodberry men to wield the bat.' Pitcher Coffey sent eleven men back to the bench who were unable to connect safely. Woodberry se cured only three hits against Caro lina's eleven, while the errors were nil on the Freshmen's part and only two for Woodberry. The hitting of Moore, Bonner and Speed were fea tures of this contest. The following day, Saturday, the team journeyed to Chatham Trains ing School, where they met a team which had been "cleaning up" every thing in Virginia. The day before the Carolina game, Chatham had tied the strong Oak Ridge team with their second pitcher. But this fact had no effect upon the Freshmen who mixed right in and came out bearing the larger part of a 9 to 3 score. Caro lina got ten hits against Chatham's four. , Each team made two errors and Coffey struck out nine men.
