No. 30 PRIMA-DONNA WILL APPEAR WEDNESDAY If you don't like real music (we don't mean' jazz) stay away " from Memorial Hall next Wednesday night when Mademoiselle Julian Claussen, leading Prima-Donna of the Metropo litan Grand Opera Co., fresh from a successful invasion of European cit ies will give a recital, accompanied by Professor John Paul Weaver. It is the only big musical attraction booked for the year as two other en gagements have recently been cancell ed. Mademoiselle Claussen is an ac complished artist, a ward of the King of Sweden who personally directed her vocal training, and has won a long list of high honors from foreign na tions who somehow are keener judges of musical talent than jazz-loving Americans. Professor Weaver an nounces that her voice is irresistable, with a wide range of tones that will hold the rudest layman subjective to its rich power. She has the warmth of a Farrar, the deep low tones of a Schuman-Heink, and the airy sweet ness of a Galli Gurci, all enriched by her natural dramatic gift. Her program will include selec tions that should be appealing to a Chapel Hill audience ballad songs, the Aria selection from Carmen, a role in which she has won her chief success, and selections from the best known operas. The Music Depart ment in securing this great artist is gambling on the financial outcome, hoping that Chapel Hill has enough appreciation of an exceptional musi cal offering to turn out in large num bers. If Mademoiselle draws a large crowd, the Music Department will have a greater incentive to provide a fuller musical program in the months to come, and the University can well afford to strengthen its ar tistic life in these days of building programs, athletic ascension and mechanical expansion. MORE CANDIDATES NEEDED FOR TRACK Track, the University sport enigma, is now under way for the 1924 sea son, and once more Coach Bob Fet zer is working against tremendous odds. He has visions of raising track athletics to the level of football and baseball, give Carolina a track team that will compete on an even basis with strong northern teams at -the Penn Relay Carnival, and the Inter collegiate games, and develop hun dreds of fiat breasted, flabby muscled students. This is not a wild dream, but ' easily attainable, if stu dents could learn to realize the full possibilities .and value of the oldest of sports. - For some strange reason Carolina and the South does not seem to take kindly to track. The raw materia! is here, the equipment is available, the climatic conditions are excellent, but when the call is issued for track candidates a comparative few report. and they, half-heartediy. This state of affairs must be very discourag ing to Coach Bob who has been preaching track for three years, plan ning a big series of indoor and out door meets, only to be met with an indifferent response. In his own words: "There simply doesn't seem to be interest here. If the boys only could realize that track is the purest of amateur athletics, offers the best opportunity for individual competi tion, and is the best body developer of all sports, they would come out in force and we could have a powerful team. Those who do come out become enthusiastic over it." Since Coach Bob has handled track at the University, it has advanced ap preciably, but not enough to repay him for his efforts. Out of a student body of two thousand students, there is bound to be latent material for runners and field event men. Track, unlike football, does not call for beef, muscle, or natural ability. The littie man has an equal chance with the six footer, the skinny man with the broad chested. Hard, consistent practice un der experienced coaching can make a good point winner out of a novice. A freshman of average physical abil ity can become a star in some parti cular event in two or three years by faithful and active training. Too many quit before they give themselves a fair try-out. Coach Fetzer is especially anxious for a large squad of fresh men to re port who will form the nucleus of a strong aggregation two years from now. If you are a freshman and long to make a name in some athletic en deavor, here is a splendid opportunity to learn the fundamental lessons of a coming sport at Carolina. You may have the makings of a Joey Ray or a Jim Thorpe, or you may be hope less as track possibility, but you'll never know until you test yourself. There are at present about fifty first year men In training, there should be at least three hundred. No marvels have been uncovered yet; so join the throng, perhaps you are the marvel. SEVERAL REPORTS MADE ... AT.Y. CABINET MEETING The meeting of the "Y" Cabinet last Monday night . was featured by the reports of the chairman of the various committees. W. E. Hunt, chairman of the depu tation committee, reproted that some deputation work had been carried on at the Chapel Hill High School on Jan. 16, 17, 18, during chapel period, some extra time being utilized by the program on each of these mornings. Several campus leaders made talLs to the students, the speakers being sjeh men as C. C. Poindexter, W. W. Gwynn, Jack Allsbrook, and J. M. Saunders. F. S. Griffin, chairman of the self- help committee, then made his re port. He stated that there were 237 men on self-help rolls and 200 men were in permanent jobs. 126 men were sent out on afternoon assign ments last quarter, a total of i46 calls having been filled up to Janu ary 1. He also stated that there were verey few complaints thi3 vear from the patrons of the service. No man who needed work badly and who really wanted work has had to go without employment the past quar ter. Secretary Comer then gave a short talk about the State "Y" Convention which will be held in Charlotte Feb ruary 14-15. At this convention the arranging of the State Blue Ridee Campaign will take place. There will be delegates from everey "Y" in the State, and the "Y's" in the vari ous branches, such as colleg3 indus trial, etc., will have special sessions, ciscussmg their own peculiar prob lems. Carolina is allowed 59 dele gates for the convention. Arthur Raper made a very inter esting and witty report of his views of. Indianapolis. T. C. Quickel, Jr., was a guest of the Cabinet and he was requested by Pres. John Purser to make a short talk on his views of the Indianapolis Convention. The chairman of the Freshman Friend ship Council committee was also ask ed to make his report at the next meeting of the Cabinet. THE WILDERNESS BY J. OSLER BAILEY There are last year's rose vines, But where are last year's roses? They're pressed in a Big Book, Between the laws of Moses! S. Berman might adopt the Pick wick's sales method to advantage. A ehanme buys a parcel - of roasted goobars at the '. door, and is contri buted three parcels, free of mone tary obligation whatever ere he teaches his respective seat. Speaking of the Pickwick, What would happen in case of fire ? An swer: The film would break. Speaking of atmosphere, Why should a gentleman be careful not to take a lady to the first show ? An swer: There are too many gentlemen present! - '.' Continuing to speak of ventilation, Why should a Shiek hesitate to take his Sheba to the second show? An swer: There is too great a quantity of the first show remaining! If diversity of opinion means a whit, Chapel Hill is nigh unto the Metropolis of America. One may go all the way from McDougald Street, Greenwich Town, to Plymouth Rock or the Golden Gate, between Camer on Avenue and a bit north of the P. O. Recently, a haggard-looking individual, ox-eyed from loss of sleep, grovelled into Dean Royster's Sanc tum Sanctorum. The poor fellow wanted to drop a course. He eluci dated, saying that all he imbibed on his eleven o'clock class was contro verted at noon. He couldn't abide the idea of a quiz with any heart, for he was afraid he'd get one prof, and the other confused and fetch a "6" from both. One may not cen sure his confusion of the two, after all a prof, is only a prof. .- i The condition is really not exag gerated. But let us not deplore it. In fact the thing that makes the freshman such a mild, dumb creature is simply that he swallows hook, line, and fishing-pole everything can get his gaping mouth about. -! --. j ' Tha delightfulnesa of our diversity is strikingly illustrated by two friends of ours. One never bones if he can find anything else to do the other never does anything else if he has any boning to do. The life of one is as circumscribed and finite as the rising of the sun; the other moves as the spirit prods him. One is en tirely illogical, nad brilliant as a rocket shot in the night; the other as stately, steady, and restful as the full moon. They are each " charming because they differ entirely. The whole truth of the matter is that the only kinds of fellows a body can't abide are the ones on the fence. When we were not a Colyumist We bowed our head in shame, For no one seemed to notice us, And no one cared to blame. But now we are a Colyumist We bow our head in fame, For if I stoop to tie our shoe We hear both praise and blame! A propos the above dotrsrerel. hp r with us to retell the following har rowing experience. We invaded the Cafeteria for our evening meal, which is the usual thing. Neither to the right nor to the left did we neer. for we pose as quite a modest young sprite. Our soup and our two crack ers we succeeded in maintaining in erstwhile equilibrium upon our tray, the while we partook of huge slices of luscious roast veal, with the aid of an accomplished olfactory nerve. Alas, not long was peace and tran quility to be our appointed lot. We were abaft the teller's fortress and were witnessing with heart-h anguish the partial demolition of our quite beautiful ticket book, when a Co-ed. Our manly knees weakened. our proud chest sagged, and our soup spilled on our tie. We hus-eed our tray desperately to our stomach, for our two crackers must be saved. "Mr. B.", quoth the awe-inspiring charm er, the while eyeing us with pinkest pity, "Do you really feel what you write in your Colyum?" At that, even our crackers made a heart-rending clatter on the floor. Let Us Press, Alter and Repair Your Suits Weaver Tailoring Co.
