Durham Elks Are Dangerous
Elon Game Should Be Easy
by Comparing Scores
TO BE PLAYED IN TIN C AN
The Durham Elks on Tuesday
night nnd Elon College on Wednes
day night will compose this week's
"tin can" menu.
The Elk game will be a hard
fought affair, and the all-star aggre
gation will make it necessary for
Carolina to step lively. The Tar
Heel played the Durham club in a
pre-season meet and defeated them
hy a narrow margin.
Guilford College, on the night fol
lowing her severe drubbing at the
hands of the University, turned the
tables on Elon and handed her a se
vere licking. If comparative scores
mean anything, Carolina should have
an easy go with the Christians.
Bad news was contained in Sun
day's weather forecast which an
nounced that North Carolina was to
entertain a cold wave during the first
part fo the week. Thus far there
has been wonderful co-operation be
tween home games and cold snaps,
"both coming off at the same time
and serving to keep the students on
cold storage, regardless of mufflers
and overcoats.
Record to date:
Carolina 35; Mercer 23.
Carolina 50; Guilford 22.
Carolina 37; Davidson 27.
Carolina 122; Others 72.
Y WILL START
BUILDING PL ANS
Students Are Urged To Pay Up
Pledges So That Debts May
Be Paid Off
At last, a new and moJornly equip
ped home for the University Y. M.
C. A. is in sight. There are two
plans. The Y. M. C. A. will either
build and occupy a wing of the Gra
Tiam Memorial Building, or will build
a separate building. In either case
the minimum cost will be $100,000.
As Mr. Comer explained in chapel
last Friday, the committee expects
to obtain this amount without a cam
paign, that is, from a privati
source.
Although there is to be no cam
paign for the building fund, it is
necessary that the local Y. M. C. A
treasury be in good condition before
the arpeal to the private source of
funds is made, because the first ques
tion will be: "Is your Y. M. C. A
in debt?", and the next will be: "How
are you going to take care of the
running expense?" There is now
enough money in unpaid student
pledges to the "Y" to pay all out
standing debts. Letters have been
sent this week to the more than four
hundred students who have pledges
still unpaid, asking them if possible
to pay up before Febuary, so that
the application for funds may be made
at once. None of the pledges are
large, but together they amount to
-more than $1,000. In addition, four
hundred letters have been sent to
students who were missed in the fi
nancial campaign in the fall, and were
not approached.
The need for a new "Y" building
has been long apparent, even before
the recent rapid growth in the size
-of the student body and rapid ex
pansion of the University building
program. The Advisory Board of
the "Y" has taken the stand that the
interests of the students would be
advanced if the Y. M. C. A. was giv
en a home with all the other student
activities in the Graham Memorial
BuLding, the "Y" of course paying for
its share of the building. If the Gra
ham Memorial committee fails to
agree, however, the "Y" will build its
own separate building.
John Latta, who is a freshman in
the University and whose home is here
in Chapel Hill was accidently shot
while out hunting near New Bern re
cently. His arm is full of bird shot
and physicians are afraid that if the
shot are allowed to remain in the
arm some complications will set in.
Yet there are so many of the small
bird shot that it will be a hard job
"to extract them.
sophomore Dance
Leaders Elected
At a meeting of the sophomore
class held in Gerard Hall Friday af
ternoon Jack Cobb was elected to lead
the sophomore hop at the Easter
:ances. Parchi" Mclver, and "Dopie"
Carter will ba the assistant leaders.
The election was devoid of the spec
tacular and went off very smoothly.
The leader won by good majorities.
It has been definitely arranged
that Gabar-Davis, the orchestra that
needs "ho introduction to the Univer
sity, will be on hand for the Easter
dances. With anywhere near deccn
Easter weather Jan Garber and "The
im e-an should be just the right
combination. Those who have felt the
air recently at the "Can" seem du
bious regarding dances there unless
there comes an abundance of sun
shine. There is little doubt that the
huge structure could well care for
the crowd that will be here and would
make an ideal place for the dances.
Professor Janda
Back From Chicago
Professor II. F. Janda has recently
returned fro.m Chicago where he at
tended the twenty-first American
Convention and the fifteenth Natur
al Road Show, of the National Road
Builders Association." He reports a
most interesting and instructive trip.
The Road Show had exhibits of steam
shovels, concrete finishers, steam
rollers and apparatus pertaining to
road construction most of which was
put into operation. Among those at
tending from North Carolina were
president Frank Page, of the North
Carolina State Highway Commission
and Chas. M. Upham, chief engineer
3f North Carolina Highway Commis
sion who was the convention manager
Thousands were in attendance from
all parts of the country. The con
vention will be held in Chicago agin
next year and Mr. Chas. M. Upton
was again chosen for Convention
Manager.
Graduate School Is
Featured In Review
The January number of The Alum
ni Review, which has come from the
press, contains a feature article on
the Graduate School, showing the
present positions of Carolina men who
have taken higher degrees.
"Authors, investigators, sciientists,
university professors, business men
engineers and many more are found
in the list of alumni of the Grad
uate School," says the article. "They
are scattered through all parts of the
country. Many are holding positions
of trust and responsibility; frequent
ly their work is of such a nature that
only their graduate study makes it
possible for them to pursue it. They
They represent a new type of alum
nus, the Graduate Alumnus, a type
which the University is sending out
in ever-increasing numbers."
The Review is taking high rank
with alumni publications throughout
the country. This year it has re
reived many letters of commenda
tion. A new section dealing with the
activities of alumni, such as hon
ors, promotions, etc., has become es
pecially popular.
Several alumni have just been add
ed to the editorial board as asso
ciate editors. They are: H. P. Os
borne, 0D; M. R. Dunnagan, '14; W.
Carey Dowd, Jr., '15; F. F. Bradshaw,
10; John S. Terry, '18; N. G. Gooding,
'19.
Louis R. Wilson, '19, is editor;
Robert W. Madry, '18, is managing
editor; C. Percy Powell, '21, is bus
iness manager.
HIGH POINT CLUB MEETS
The High Point Club met in
bloody session last last Thursday
night in the Y and when the smoke
of battle cleartd away it was dis
covered that new officers had been
elected for thi quarter. Mr. W. A.
Pickens was unanimously re-elected
president. Roy Welborn was forced
into the office of vice-president, while
E. B. Stone was given the wrath-incurring
position of secretary and
treasurer. Freshman Ed Koonce and
Freshman Earl Johnson were jointly
intrusted with the important duties
of Janitor.
Finchley has cme and gone, but
has left the campus well sprinkled by
his famous Building Caps. The storm
of last Wednesday, in addition to
washing away divers objects, played
havoc with these newcomers.
Chapel Hill, N.
ARIONETTES ARE
OAPI
Tony Sarg Brings His Educated
Puppets Here For Perform
ance on February 15
"Tony Sarg's Marionettes," under
the auspices of "The Carolina Play
makers," will appear . at Memorial
Hall on February 15 in a double per
formance. The afternoon perform
ance, though especially for children,
provides mirth and excitement for
both young and old. The two plays
to be given are "Little Red Riding
Hood" and "Hansel and Gretel," and
in addition, two "surprises," "Mon
3eiur Le Capitaine" and "Ching and
Chang."
Students of dramatic lore as re
vealed by Marionettes will find much
to interest them in Tony Sarg's Ma
rionette version of "Don Quixote,"
which constitutes the evening per
formance. Tony Sarg has gone to an
expense of over ten thousand dollars
and has spent several months in
equiping and instructing his educat
ed puppets for the rendition of Cer
vante's old romance. Preparation of
the production demanded several
months of hard labor, after the dra
matization of the book had been com
pleted. The entire company was
scholocd for six months in the dif
ficult art of manipulating the strings
that ocntrol the actors. Hence a
Marionette masterpiece.
"Don Quixote" iends itself easily
to Marionette production because the
characters are humorous in them
selves and there is much action, with
out which any puppet show would be
helpless. Since Cervantes' famous
old story is itself a caricature, Tony
Sarg, who is a caricaturist of note.
found free rein for his talents in the
same direction. The outstanding fea
ture of the production is the Marion
stte show within the Marionette
show. Every one who has read
"Dox Quixote" remembers the night
when the puppets performed for the
Don as he was eating. Mr. Sarg's
handling of this difficult scene is
?aid to be nutliing sliurt or "Hie pilars"
omenal.
The Marionettes have a theatre all
their own with all the properties and
Ughting effects such as may be
found in any metropolitan theatre.
The puppets are life-like but not
life-sized figures, perfectly propor
tioned, skillfully jointed, and capable
af making all the movements of the
humans they so closely resemble. I
From sixteen to twenty-two strings I
are used to operate each of these lit-j
tie figures. ... .
A complete company manipulate
the strings that animate the Marion
ettes, speak the lines, change the
scenery, work the electric plant, play
various instruments and sing as the
action of the play requires.
President's Cane Is
Missed In Di Meetings
"As I get up to speak before the
Di Society, it reminds me of the
time when I was in the country last
summer," said a member of the Di
at the meeting last Saturday night.
With these words the Winter quar
ter of weekly bull sessions in the Di
Hall made a flying take-off. The
subject for discussion was whether or
not athletics were being overstress-
cd at the University. This question,
which is onoe of universay interest
on the campus, brought forth quite
a lively discussion, altho at times
the debating was somewhat off the
subject. When the vote came, the
society decided that athletics were
not being over-stressed here.
After the order of exercise, the
disappearance of the president's cane
was brought up. Evidently wearied
by its long and confined service with
the Di Society, the staff took a sud
den and unheralded vacation during
the time when the workmen were
cutting a window in the committee
room, and as yet has failed to turn
up. After thoroughly thrashing out
ihe matter, it was decided to engage
the services of a few of the society's
most prominent detectives to follow
svery clue and make a thorough ef
fort to trace up the cane, inasmuch
as the history connected with it
makes it very valuable. A commit
tee of two was appointed by the pres
ident for this purpose.
After the usual reports, the soci
ety was adjourned until next Satur
day night.
L. E. Watt acted as secretary in
the absence of L. T. Bledsoe.
At the beginning of the meeting,
C. L. Tallow was initiated into membership.

GRAIL WILL GIVE
DANCE SATURDAY
Order of Grail Is Expecting to
Have a Most Successful
Dance
The Order of the Grail will give
a dance Saturday night after the Da
vidson game in the new athletic buil
ding. The Grail is advertising this
dance extensively and it expects .to
make it the best dance ever given by
that Order. It will be remembered
tnat its last" dance was a mighty
good one.
In trying to make this a big dance
the Grail desires the co-operation of
the student bdoy. The Order las a
higher purpose than merely giving an
occasional dance but it is endeavor
ing to increase the importance of its
dances so that they may be fairly
classed with the big social events of
the year.
In trying to pull big dances the
Grail has no selfish motive in view
so far as the receipts are concerned.
These will be turned back to the stu
dent body in some form or other. The
Order has recently offered c full size
silver basketball to the winner of the
intra-mural Basketball contest now
going on. This trophy is now on dis
play in Pritchard-Patterson's win
dow. At the dance Saturday night there
are expected to be a large number
of out-of-town girls. A much larg
er number is expected because of the
Davidson game which will be play
ed in the new athletic building which
has a seating capacity of approxi
mately 3000. Music will be furnish
ed by the Carolina Club Orchestra.

Mme. Claussen is from the Metro

and though she sang in Chapel Hill
two seasons ago it was for the sum
mer schol so that it is highly prob
able that only a very small part of
the student body has had the oppor
tunity of hearing this noted singer.
Phi Chooses Intra
Society Debaters
The freshmen intra-society debate
in the Phi Assembly will soon bs
held, the debaters having been select
ed in the preliminary held Wednes
day. The affirmative of the query,
"Resolved: That the United States
should join the World Court," will be
upheld by Carl W. Kelley,. of Dur-.
ham, and T. E. Clemmons, of Halls
boro. The Negative speakers select
ed were G. N. Mullen, of Kinston, and
M. Godwin, of Selma.
It was announced at the Phi meet
ing last Saturday that the debate will
be held this coming Saturday, but it
is understood that there is a possi
bility that it may be postponed A
week.

RAISE STANDARD
OF LAW SCHOOL
Executive Committee Raise Re
quirements for Entrance
in Law School
A decision to raise the standard of
the University Law School to meet
the standard requirements of the
American Bar Association and the
American Association of Law Schools,
was made by Executive Committee of
the University Board of Trustees, in
session Friday at Raleigh. This
would set up a requirement of two
years academic college work and three
jcm o 'ltaMcnV -W-- .- -
dent to be awarded a law degree.
The selection of the new Dean ol
the Law School, to succeed the late
Lucius Polk McGehee, was discussed
in a general way, but definite ac
tion on the matter was postponed
until the next regularly schcdulet
meeting of the Board of Trusted, to
be held January 30 in Raleigh.
A number of well known North
Carolina' lawyers, it is said, have
been proposed for the Law School
Deanship. President Chase is un
derstood to favor the selection of an
experienced law teacher.
Upon the recommendation ol
President Chase, Professor Gnorge
Luther Clark, on leave of absence
from the University of Missouri, was
elected as temporary professor of
law to fill out the spring term.
Josephus Daniels presided at the
meeting Friday, during the absence
of Governor Morrison.
Seniors at Davidson College had
disposed of their canes and derbies
and are now wearing red and black
sweaters as a method of distinguish
ing themselves from the other stu
dents there.
Bull Runs Wild In
Phi Society Meeting
The old-time bull flowed sweetly,
freely, eloquently, and humorously at
the Phi Assembly Saturday night.
Many mouthf uls were spilled concern
ing the age-old liquor question: this
time presented in the form of a Ban
quo's ghost when F. P. Parker in
troduced a resolution seeking the As
sembly to disapprove of any proposal
to modify the eighteenth amendment.
The Assembly, after due considera
tion, discussion, hemming, hawing,
growling, sputtering, raging, laugh
ing, and fuming, finally gave its ov
erwhelming approval to Mr. Parker's
motion. The adherents of the good
old days of beer, light wine, and
heavy cider simply had no sh.w. They
were swamped under an avalanche of
affirmative votes.
The discussion was very good. V.
T. Couch, A. L. Wiel, M. M. Young,
and others, argued for beer and light
wines. L. T. Rogers, F. B. Page, F.
P. Parker, and a host of followers,
stood up for the status quo of the
eighteenth amendment.
Speaker Spencer announced that the
new Phi Speaker could not be elected
Saturday night, as several members
had anticipated and planned. Elec
tion will not be held until the last
meeting of the Winter quarter.

CHANGES MADE
IN REQUIREMENT
Degree of A. B. in Education Is
Changed in Several
Ways
At a meeting of the Administra
tive . Board of the School of Educa
tion of the University of North Car
olina held recently some important
changes were made in the academic
requirements for the degree of A. B.
in Education, These change-i are:
(1) in the number of courses in for
eign languages and in natural science
required in the Freshman and Sopho
more years, and (2) in the system of
:lcctives in the Junior and. Senior
years.
Hitherto the curriculum require-
ments in the academic subjects have
been the same as those of the Col
lege of Liberal Arts. The require
ments in English, history and mathe
matics remain unchanged. The rea
sons for the changes that have been
made are given in some detail in the
Acting Dean's report to the Presi
dent. The changes are as follows:
(1) The requirement of three
courses in each of two foreign lan
guages in the Freshman and Sopho
more years has been reduced to threa
courses in one foreign language, pref
erably Latin or French. Provision
is made whereby a student may, on
petition duly approved, offer some
language than Latin or French in ful
fillment of this requirement.
(2) The requirement of two courses
in ohe natural science hitherto re
quired of Freshmen and Sophomores
has been increased to four courses,
two courses in each of two branches,
one of which shall be Physics or
Chemistry.
(3) In the Junior and Senior years
candidates for the degree of A. B. in
Education will be required to choose
their major study and their first mi
nor from the branches represented
in the program of studies in the sec
ondary schools. For a major four
courses will be required beyond the
Sophomore year, and for a first
minor two courses beyond the Sopho
more year, and for a first minor two
courses beyond the Sophomore year
will be required. The remaining acad
emic courses required are to be free
electives.
