TWELFTH SERIES
OF FOLK PLAYS
COME THIS WEEK
-Carolina Playmakers Have Pro
gram of Three Plays as
Usual
WILL BE A GOOD SERIES
"The Carolina Playmakers'' will
present thier Twelfth series of Caro
lina Folk Plays in the Chape! Hill
High School Auditorium, February 8
-and 9. As usual, three plays which
deal with Carolina life will constitute
the program. The three plays to be
presented are of a high calibre and
-were written by Carolina playwrights
of undisputed ability.
"Servants of God," by Bob Pickens
-of Morganton, is a tragedy dealing
with the lives of an underpaid min
ister's family. Mr. Pickens is the son
of a Methodist minister and is well
qualified to write on a subject with
which he is thoroughly familiar.
"The Beaded Buckle," by Frances
Jray of Chapel Hill, is a brilliai.t
satire centering about a very clever
woman, charming, gracious, and ar
rogant. This is the first play of its
kind to be presented by "The Play
makers," and its appearance may be
looked to with interest by all who
have watched the growth of "The
Playmakers" work. A feature ot
this play will be the acting of Miss
Anne Morgan Majette of Valdosta,
Georgia, a graduate of the American
.Academy of Dramatic Art in New
..York. Miss Majette joined the ranks
of "The Playmakers" last fall, and
has been assisting in the direction of
plays while serving in the capacity
of secretary to Professor Koch.
"Fixin's,,' by Paul and Erma
Green, is perhaps the strongest play
on the program. It is a story of the
tenant farm folk and the theme of
the play is universal. He wanted
money andi land, she wanted "fixin's"
Just as Hutchinson pictured the lives
of Mark Sabre and Mabel, two na
tures which would not be one, in
""If Winter Comes," the Grefens iaVe
drawn a strong and simple plot about
the lives of Ed and Lilly Robinson.
Tickets will be on sale at Sutton
and Alderman Drug Store, Thursday,
February 7. Subscribing members
must call and sign for their tickets.

Virginia team, sent in several two-
pointers that put his team out of
danger.

Music Recital By
A. Capella Choir
The A Cape'.la Choir and Profes
sor J. P. Weaver gave a music re
cital at the Presbyterian Church, last
Sunday afternoon to a well filled
house. The program ranged from
Bach to the moderns and was well
balanced. Mme. Canctus from Goun
od's "St. Cecilia Mass" was accorded
to be one of the most inspiring mu
sical numbers that has ever been giv
2n on the Hill. The end of the piece
has always had an effect of uplift
and buoyancy upon us and yet the
glory of the melody is ono that is
haunting.
None of the other numbers of the;
program stood out so vividly; though
the Scherzo of Roger's "Sonata in E
Minor," which was given as an or
?an solo by Professor Weaver, was
possibly the next best.
A London publisher has just made
i contract with the authors of
'Sentences and Thinking," Norman

Iramatic organization that produced
'The Kalif of Kavak", Ernest Thomp
;on's musical play, with such success
ast year, is preparing to produce
mother show that has every indica
tion of being as popular as its fore
runner, which, incidentally, is going
ome. The musical play that "Wigue
md Masque" is going to put on this
ear is "Ye Gods!", by Earl Hart
sell, who won the fifty dollar prize
,iven by "Wigue and Masque" in a
:ontest for the best musical play.

PIERSON TALKS
ON PEACE PLAN
History Professor Thinks Uni
ted States Should Adopt
the Plan
Dr. W. W. Pierson, Jr., professor
)f history and government, made the
second talk of the group explain
ing the Bok Peace Flan in Chapel
ast Friday morning. This talk was
nade by Dr. Pierson in order to give
he student body a clear idea of the
)lan so they might vote intelligeiit
y in the ballot held on it Friday.
He stated that the project for the
Peace Plan suggests three ideas.
rhese are the providing of some prac
;ieable nlan for peace, provision for
operation of United States with
est of world, and the achievement
)f world peace. As Dr. Pierson view
id it, the Plan is practicable. Its
nerits are that there is nothing in
t which endangers the safety of the
United States, and that it provides
'or the traditional policy of coopera
tion in the international court. And
furthermore, as Dr. Pierson stated,
'If we do not take this plan, the Uni
ted States will be left in its unnat
jral position of isolation."
On the other hand, the removal cf
Article X and the reshaping of Ar
icle XVI of the League of Nations
vould remove the heart and lungs of
;he League. To propose to use moral
;orce and public opinion on the of
fending nation would only be to use
he forces which we have been using
all the time without avail. Public
jpinion usually goes with the nation
laving the most clever propaganda.
Thus the League would ba reduced to
a peace-time activity and so far as
reventing war goes, we would not
i much more forceful arrangement
han we have at present.
BIBLE STUDY GROUP
' The Bible Study Group in Ruf
'in dormitory of which T. C. Quickel,
Jr., is leader held a very interesting
meeting last Wednesday night. A
hort business session preceded the
liscussion, and it was decided to put
m an extensive publicity campaign.
Messrs Knot, Ham, and McGowan
olunteered to attend this publicity.
There were about twenty men pres
et and quite a hot discussion was
ield on tho question of immortality.
The interest was so great in the dis
cission that quite a number remain
id for an informal "session" after
he adjournment. The group has
?rown steadily since its organization
and it is expected that it will con.
iinue to do so.

I JULIA CLAUSSEN
TO GIVE RECITAL
Appears for Second Time in
Chapel Hill With an At
tractive Program
A WORLD FAMOUS SINGER
The only big musical event of the
year will take plate tomorrow night,
Wednesday the 6th at 8:15 when
Mme. Julia Claussen of the Metropo
litan Opera Company will give a song
recital in Memorial Hall.
Mme. Claussen sang to a full hall
here during the last summer session
She responded to the demands of her
large audience with encore after en
core. In itself her voice is a beauti
ful instrument; like a cello often in
Its mellow resonance.
Her program has been chosen to
make a distinct appeal to the stu
dent body and residents of Chapel
Hill. One of her bast known operat
ic numbers, the popular aria from
"Samson and Delilah," "My Heart at
thy Sweet Voice." will be sung. Re
ports come from the University of
California of Claussen's immense
success as "Delilah" in the open air
performance fo the opera given in
their famous Greek Theater.
She will also sing the "Gavotte"
from "Mignon" which was possibly
the most attractive number on the
program recently sung in Durham by
Mme. Louise Homer. Jn addition to
these operatic numbers there will be
several groups of lighter pieces, in
cluding one of a new composition by
an American composer.
Mme. Claussen is one of the
world's greatest "Carmen's," and it
is supposed that she will sing the
great aria from that opera as an
ncore during the evening.
Several of the modern songs which
she will sing have been made famil
iar to the local audience by means of
the recent Sunday programs.
Professor Weaver of the Music De
partment will be at the piano. He
has been ivnited to accompany Mme.
Uaussen on her southern tour but
Ui hfoimi that it Vill Dff"lmptfSSP"
ble for him to leave Chapel Hill for
this purpose.
Because of Mme. Claussen's inter
est in the musical development of the
University, she is coming here at ex
tremely reasonable terms which make
it possible for the studenst to hear
her at a price which could not be
realized at one of her city concerts.
The cheapest seats at her New York
concerts cost the same that her most
expensive seats do here.
The Music Department had ex
pected to be able to bring Mischa
Elman here for a concert in March.
but Elman's Manager has just can
celled his contract here because the
radical changing of Elman's route on
his spring tour necessitates his going
into the far West instead of the South.
Since Monday, seats have been on
sale at Patterson's Drug Store. All
reserved seats are $1.50 while the
general admission is $1.

Dr. Coker Loans a
Statue to Library
Dr. W. C. Coker has lent tho Li
brary a small copy of the bronze
jtatue, The Spirit of Life, by the
American sculptor, . Daniel Chester
French.
The original is in the City Park
of Saratoga Springs, N. Y. It was
unveiled on June 26, 1915 in the mem
ory of Spencer Trask. Thr; statue is
'n a white marble niche, above an ob
!ong lagoon and below a balustraded
terrace; surrounded with shrubs and
'lowers which set off effectively the
beauty of the figure. The statue it
self is the figure of a winged woman,
holding aloft an overflowing vessel
in one hand and a pine bouh in the
other. It is larger than life size1
Cut into the marble behind the fig
ure are the following words: "To the
memory of Spencer Trask. His one
object in life was to do right and to
better his fellow men. He gave ln'in
3e!f abundantly to hasten the coming
of a new and better day which with
prophetic vision he foretold for Sara
toga Springs."

FORTESCUE WILL
BE PHI SPEAKER
Election Held Earlier so as to
Have Next Quarter's
Speaker in Annual
Z. T. Fortesque, of Scranton, was
elected Speaker of the Phi Assembly
for the 'spring quarter, at the regu
lar Phi meeting held Saturday night.
The election of the forth-coming
Speaker was held at this early date
in order that his picture might be
published in the "Yackety-Yack."
Fortesque has been prominent in
literary society circles throughout
his college career. Last spring he
was a member of the winning Phi
team which defeated the Di Society
representatives in the annual Com-'
mencement Debate.
The Bok Peace Plan, after some
discussion pro and con, was defeated
by a margin of about a dozen votes.
Fortesque, the recently elected speak
er, made a very eloquent plea against
the adoption of the winning plan.
A bill seeking the Assembly to
go on record as favoring the recog
nition of the present Russian Gov
ernment by the government of the
United States, was overwhelmingly
passed, only six votes being register
ed for the negative. W. T. Couch in
troduced the bill in a timely 20-min-ute
talk. Other speeches in favor of
Russian recognition were made by R.
Y. Thorpe and M. M. Young. S. B.
Midyette favored delaying recogni
tion of the present Russian govern
ment, due to Lenine's recent death.
It was definitely decided that the
Assembly shall pay, with the Di So
;iety, the expenses incurred for space
riven by the "Yackety-Yack" to in
tercollegiate debates. G. C. Hamp
ton, former Speaker, informed tho
Assembly that action taken last yrnr
by the Phi, that the extensive schoJ
ile undertaken by the Debate Coun
cil this year, and the scarcity of de
bate funds, made this action imperative.
