Chapel Hill, N. ., Friday, October 13, 1922 Number 6 CLASS SECRETARIES MEET AND HELP GRANT SOLVE CLASSIFICATION PROBLEM Discussion at Supper in Episcopal Parish House Results in Steps Toward Better Organization. MANY IDEAS EXCHANGED Twenty-one permanent secretaries and acting secretaries of alumni classes ranging from 1888 to 1922 were guests at a supper given at the Episcopal par ish house last Wednesday evening. Aft erwards an informal discussion of ways and moans for getting a complete clas sification of all living alumni was held under the direction of Dr. L. E. Wilson, who presided at the meeting, and Dan iel L. Grant, permanent secretary of the general alumni association. Before the discussion began a word of welcome to the visiting secretaries was voiced by President Chase, who emphasized the importance of the kind of work the alumni association is en gaged in and its significance for the University. Dr. L. B. Wilson, chairman of tin) meeting, made a short introductory talk, showing the relation of the work of students, faculty, trustees and alum ni. He then turned the meeting over to Mr. Grant, who presented to the group some phases of the difficult task confronting him as general secretary and called for discussion. Stating em phatically that the loyalty of the alum ni in most cases was not' to be doubted, Grant laid great stress on the difficulty of getting in touch with them and get ting them lined up with alumni work as organized in the general association. "The purpose of this meeting," said Grant, "is not to talk about the glor ies of being University men but to dis cuss practical means of linking up 11, 000 alumni with the work of the asso ciation and forming, if possible, a per manent secretaries ' bureau for the pur pose of better carrying on this work." The main difficulty, as brought out at the meeting, in classifying alumni lies in placing un-dfiuiely in. a -certain particular class. He may have entered with one class, graduated with another, and possibly attend re-unions with a third. After some discussion a motion introduced by Dr. J. G. Murphy was passed. This motion provided that an alumnus will be placed in the class with which he graduated, if he obtained n degree, and in the class with which he entered if he does not graduate, but that all alumni dissatisfied with their classification be permitted to ask for change through their class secretary, a questionnaire being sent them for the purpose of finding out their class af filiation, along with other desired infor mation. It was also voted that the general secretary be given authority to ap point a committee for the purpose of drawing up a manual for the use of permanent class secretaries in the per (Continued on page four) CAST FOR "SEVENTEEN" IS SELECTED AFTER TRYOUTS Play Will Be Given In High School Auditorium Novem ber 10 and 11. The cast for "Seventeen" has been selected by the cast committee of the Playmakers after the most succssful tryouts held in some time. Rehearsals have commenced and the plan is to be given in the auditorium of the Chapel Hill school on Friday and Saturday evenings, November 10 and 11. Nearly 75 people tried out for the 14 parts in the play and a wealth of ma terial of all kinds was unearthed. A surprisingly large number of freshmen were among the would-be Thespians, and their showing was altogether excel lent. The cast committee is greatly encour aged over the results of the tryouts, especially the showing of the freshmen. An accurate account of all the material present at the tryouts will be kept by means of a card index system with a view to future productions. This file will from now on keep track of all available dramatic talent and possibili ties on the Hill and will thus greatly facilitate the casting of future plays. The parts for "Seventeen" were al lotted as follows: Willie Baxter, three retained T. B. Livingston, N. M. Cates, J. Fagge; Gen esis, W. N. Coxe; Lola Pratt, Dorothy Greenlaw; May Parcher, Katherine Batts; George Cooper, F. H. Hursey; Mr. Baxter, LeGrande Everett; Mr. Parcher, W. J. Faucette; Jane Baxter, Martha Eoyster; Ethel Boke, Bessie Davenport; Johnnie Watson, A. L. Pur rington; Joe Bullitt, F. Nance; Wallie Banks, E. H. Tompson; May Brooks, Adeline Denham; Mrs. Baxter, Kyttye Lea Frazier. Glee Club Officers Have Been Elected N, JSiewers, of Wius,tonJ3alwir M been elected president of the Glee Club for the coming year. John Mendenhall has been chosen vice-president and Har old Boss business manager. At present there are 50 men on the glee club squad. The personnel of the glee club will not be definitely deter mined until the last of next week or possibly later, and Mr. Hamilton is especially anxious to secure some more good tenor voices. A trip to eight cities in the western part of the state is planned for the middle of November. The tour will extend as far west as Spartanburg and Asheville. In the spring a trip to the eastern part of the state will be taken. More Carolina students than ever be fore are taking private lessons in music. The registration is almost double that of last year, and Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Sheldon both have their time well taken up. Russian Symphony Artists Captivate Large Audience Modest Altschuler Completely Captivates Audience With Smiles and Wit Program Ends With "Dixie" Record-Breaking Crowd Excellent Orchestration. CLASS ELECTS Playing before one of the largest audiences ever assembled in Chapel Hill to hear a concert of its kind, the Bussian Symphony Orchestra, directed by Modest Altschuler, completely won the hearts of nearly seven hundred hcarera in Memorial hall Wednesday night. The orchestra, under the directorship of Altschuler, a master mind and genius of orchestration and directorship, ren dered seven numbers, composed by the world's most famous musicians. The numbers were masterpieces of inspiration. Modest Altschuler himself completely won the hearts of his audience, espe cially toward the lasf. His announcements of the numbers to follow were full of spicy wit and humor. Especially was this truo of the two numbers rendered as encores that ho composed. His is a sunny, resourceful disposition, and he contributed much to the success of tho concert and the playing of his Bussian musicians. ' ' Several Bussian numbers were offer ed, but the program was not confined to Bussian music alone. Selections were rendered from Beethoven, Wag ner, Grainger, Liszt, Tschaikowsky, Li adoff, "Vordi, Altschuler and John Pow ell, the latter being a Southern product of the musical world, and who has ap peared in North Carolina on more than one occasion. The only solo part of the program was rendered by Elias Brceskin, with the orchestra furnishing his accompani ment. Breeskin is well known all over this country and Europe, and has a win ning personality, musical power, and a wonderful command of violinistic tech nique which enabled him to present the ( Continued on page two.)

VARSITYRESTS SECOND HALF, SCRUBS COMPLETE VICTORY Twenty to Nothing Defeat for Trinity Requires Little Effort on Part of Fetzer's First String "Red" Johnson Watches Game From Bench. FOOTBALL GAMES SCHEDULED Trinity's wonder team was swept off their feet here Thursday afternoon, the varsity scoring two touchdowns in the first eight minutes of play. Coach Fetzer sent in his second team after the first half. The scrubs were not satisfied with a 13 to o triumph and scored another touchdown near the end of the game. The time keeper's whistle robbed them of an additional one. Trinity received the kick-off on the 15-yard line and punted on the second down. Fred Morris skirted left end for 20 yards, then after off-tackle gain? rby McDonald and Sparrow went through Trinity's line for a touchdown. Blount made the kick good. Following consistent gains through line and around ends, McGhee carried the ball over for Carolina's second touchdown. In the last five minutes of lay, with the ball on the five-yard line, a pass, Merritt to Sparrow, netted the third and last addition to the score. Bed Johnson, held in reserve for the South Carolina game Saturday, watch ed the contest from the bench. The newly organized Carolina band was on deck in all its glory and added immensely to the enjoyment of the oc casion. The Carolina rooting section under command of Captain Froneberg er and his able assistants rivalled the band in quantity of noise produced. Several hundred Trinity supporters were in the stands and lustily cheered their team throughout the contest. Be sides the crowd from Trinity there was a large number of alumni on hand to witness the new feature of the Uni versity Day celebration. The line-up and summary: Carolina ' Trinity Position R.

The election to choose the 1923 Rhodes Scholar from the state of North Carolina will be held within the next few weeks. The scholar chosen at this election will begin study at Oxford University next October. The contest is open to all North Carolinians, un married, between the ages of 19 and 24, who have completed as much as the. sophomore year of college. The University of North Carolina is entitled to send four representatives before the State Board of Selection. The students of U. N. C. interested in trying for this scholarship should see Dr. Roj-ster at once, as the present week is the time set for selecting the four representatives. There follows an extract from a letter of information about the advantages of this scholarship, written by one of the members of the state committee of se lection: "It is unnecessary for me to go into details about the advantages of study in foreign countries. Every one must realize by now that no single country not even our own has a monopoly on all the best things in education or in life. It is rather bold to assume that we are so self sufficient and so super ior that we cannot learn anything help ful from other countries. In fact, we cannot even have a reliable standard without some comparisons. How do we know that we have the best unless we have seeu and tried some others not so goodf A serious student who has three years abroad is not a mere tour ist. He has the desire and the time to learn. He is not content merely to visit. He has the opportunity of see ing at first hand many different meth ods of accomplishing the same thing in every phase of life; art, commerce, education, government, society, etc. From these many civilizations he can chooso deliberately and freely the best of each and incorporate into his own life the qualities of each which seem to him worth while. Study abroad im poses nothing on a student. It simply gives him a wider range of experiences, a broader vision of philosophy, nnd a greater variety of life from which to create the standards of his own life and individuality. "The Rhodes Scholar has an oppor tunity for both extensivo travel in Eu rope and University training at Oxford." After an exciting period of the usual politics, speculation, and suspense on the part of the several candidates, the Junior class election was brought to a close Tuesday afternoon pni C. A. Ilo'n houser, of Salisbury, was elected presi dent on tho first ballot by a sweeping majority. Two other men were in the race for the presidential offices besides Hols houser Dan Burns and Tom Woodard. The final count gave the winner 123 votes, almost twice as many as his two opponents put together.

Tho date for the submission of manuscripts will be announced later. The club was organized last spring by a group of men who had had experi ence here or elsewhere in both musical and dramatic organizations. Their purpose is to produce each year an orig inal musical comedy, both words and music to be written by students of the University. All parts in the comedy are to be taken by men. The plan is much like that of the Triangle Club of Princeton, the Hair Split Club of Wisconsin, and the Paint and Powder Club of Harvard. Each of those organizations puts on one of the most popular performances of the year in its own university. The Triangle Club of Princeton chartered three cars and took a 3,000-mile trip last Christ mas. The membership of tho club has not been made known. It is anticipated, however, that elections will be held soon and that the membership will be made known at some auspicious date.

POST OFFICEJSTABLISHED Proposes Plan Whereby Present Over- Crowded Conditions May Be Re lieved and Service Improved. In view of the crowded conditions and inadequacy of the post-office, Post master Strowd is negotiating with the University concerning plans to relieve the present situation. There are now only 881 boxes available in the post office, of which about 400 are rented by tho faculty and townspeople, leaving less than 500 for 1900 students. In order to meet the huge demand, Mr. Strowd is violating a government law which allows one person for each box, but even with this measure, several hundred students are without boxes and are obliged to wait in long lines for their daily mail. This condition entails a greater strain on the post office force, who are obliged constantly to work overtime, and general dissat isfaction all around. The proposed plan calls for a central station to be established on tho cam pus, preferably at the "Y, " where all student mail can be received and dis tributed. Mr. Strowd is in receipt of a letter from the Keyless Lock com pany, of Indianapolis, who offer to set up 800 boxes with combination locks at a roughly estimated cost of $2500 to $3,000. These boxes can be rented to the students, two students to a box, for 25 cents a month, and from this in come $125 a month can be given to self-help students for handling the mail. It is figured that this plan will be pro fitable to the University as well as to the self-help students, and in time, the cost of setting up the station can be paid from the income. A representative committee is soon to be chosen to investigate the propo sition, and if the University officials decide to enter on the plan, the new central station can be completed by spring. All government responsibility ceases when the central station is es tablished, and thus the great pressure on the main post-office down town will be relieved. Another plan was consid ered of distributing the mail by dormi- (Continued on page four) Soph Class After Dues of Members The sophomore class held its first meoting Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock for the purpose of discussing the busi ness of the class. The question of duos was the first thing decided upon, and the sum of $2 was named as the amount for the entire session. "Squatty" Thomas, president of the class, an nounced that tho class owed the Yack- ety Yack $125 for last year's picturo in the annual, and that the prompt payment of dues would take care of the debt and enough money would be left to finance several smokers, tho first of which is to be held within tho next month. GREAT THRONGS STUDENTS ATTEND UNIVERSITY DAY Day Is Filled With Pleasurable Events Walter Murphy Ad dresses Large Audience. TRINITY GAME IS CLIMAX Encouraged by ideal weather condi tions, by the prospect of a thrilling football tustlo between two crack teams that will have a bearing on the stat3 championship, and by the attractive program arranged for the day, a rec ord breaking crowd poured into Chapel Hill to fittingly celebrate the Univer sity's 129th birthday. As early as 8:30 the jitneys began to unload throngs of alumni, who immediately laid aside all personal cares to enter whole-heartedly into the joyous spirit of the oc casion. The incoming crowd grew steadily until by 11 o'clock the campus took on the appearance of commence ment day or tho annual game with Vir ginia at Thanksgiving. At 11:30, with the suspension of tho day's classes, the parade was formed before Alumni building nndor the bead marshal, Dr. Patterson, who headed the procession with President Chase, fol lowed by the band, faculty, alumni, and the various classes. From the humblest freshman to the jmost distinguished alumnus, the representatives of the University, stimulated by the band, pre sented a striking appearance to tho looker-on. The procession swung around the campus, down the main street, and then filed into Memorial hall for the impressive ' services of the day. The seating capacity of the hall was taxed to its limit, and the platform was like wise well filled by faculty members and the alumni. After a prayer by Rev. Walter Pat ten, Honorable Walter "Pete" Mur phy, president of the General Alumni Association, addressed the gathering. In introducing the speaker, President Chase remarked that there was no man in the state who loved the University "mo r e""o r w ou737l oToro fori t s upbuild ing, than Mr. Murphy. Mr. Murphy's speech was an answer to the question, "Where do we go from here?" He stated that the present University, in all its greatness, was tho result of the labors of the old Univer sity men, who instilled in the institu tion a desire for progress. He outlined the development of Carolina from tho year 1875, "when it lay asleep," to the present day. In continuing, Mr. Murphy said that the alumni of the University ardently desired its progress in the future. He outlined some of the plans for futuro development, and promised that the next General Assembly would not dare refuse further appropriations, and that no one in North Carolina would dare cheek its onward march, Mr. Murphy exhorted tho University men of today to do all in their power (Continued on page three) JVorth and South Carolina To "Battle On Emerson Field Outcome of Game Will Be Watched With Interest in Both Carolina; State Game in Raleigh Next Thursday Promises Excitement.
