JULIA CLAUSSEN
DELIGHTS CROWD
WITH HER RECITAL
Famous Mezzo-Soprano Sings
Wonderfully for Small But
Appreciative Audience
RANGE VOICE EXCELLENT
Mme. Julia Claussen, Metropolitan
opera star and 'one of the world's
greatest mezzo-sopranos, sang her
way into the hearts of a small but
appreciative crowd Wednesday night,
in Memorial Hall. There were only
about 300 who turned out to hear
the great singer. Whether , or not
the smallness of the crowd should
be attributed to an apathy towards
things musical is not to be decided
here. But it does seem that more
students and faculty should have
availed themselves of the opportuni
ty of healing a world famous artist
at the nominal cost of one dollar
Prof. Paul J. Weaver, of th music
department, accompanied Mme, on the
piano.
Mme. Claussen goes straight to
the hearts of her songs and sings with
intense fervor. Her voice is of a
gorgeous quality, remarkably equal
ized in the matter of registers full
of vibrant warmth and color, sonor
ous in forte passages and of extreme
delicacy in the lighter moments.
Added to her rare ability as an ar
tist is a personality that brings her
close to the audience. Thosj who
heard her last night felt they were
listening to a singer who was making
an extraordinary effort to please,
who was willing to alter her program
or sing the encores her audience was
hoping she would.
The range of Mme. Claussen's pro
gram was rpmakable. She sang sim
ple folk-songs of her native Sweden; j
she sang a complicated aria from
one of the great operas. She sang the
beautiful old "chansons" of France
and the lovely renaissance "rondos"
of Italy; she sang the modern songs
of France and the modern songs of
Italy and the bast songs by Ameri
can and English composers all with
a warmth of feeling and"dram'atie
instinct that have made her interpre
tations famous.
The most popular number was an
encore, the famous "Habanera" from

DR. W. T. GRENFEL WILL
LECTURE HERE MARCH 10.
"Midst Ice and Snow in Labrador"
is the lecture subject of Dr. Winfred
T. Grenfell, the man who has become
famous for his explorations and hu
manitarian woik in Labrador, find
who has bean scheduled by the Uni
versity Lecture Committee for an il
lustrated lecture here Monday, March
10. His lecture will b3 accompanied
by stereoptieon pictures of the peo
ple and scenes that he has so inti
mately known for the past thirty
years.
The topic of his lecture will deal
with the inhabitants of the northern
country, the occupations of its peo
ple, the nature of the vast wastes of
land where the reindeer and dogs
supply the only transportation, and
the establishment of hospitals, nurs
ing stations and schools.
Dr. Grenfell, on account of his
woik in this bleak land, has receiv
ed many honors. He possesses the
only honorary degree of M. D. ever
bestowed by Oxford University, and
is also one of the very few doctors
of medicine holding a Master Marin
er's certificate. The British govern
ment conferred upon him the Order
of Companion of St. Michael and St.
George, and he is a Fellow of the
Royal College of Surgeons in Eng
land and of the American College of
Surgeons.
It was in 18B2, at the suggestion
of Lord Southborough, that Dr.
Grenfell first visited the coasts of
Labrador in a hospital sailing ship.
Since that time he has been joined
by devoted and loyal helpers from all
over the English-speaking world.
There have grown up, from the be
binning of one small hospital vessel
plying along 1,000 miles of coast, a
chain of six hospitals, four nursing
. stations, two orphanages, several
small schools, a seamen's institute at
St. John's, a hospital steamer, and a
fleet of auxiliary power yawls.
Y Will Build South
Wing of the Memorial
The outline of the . "Y" building
program is rapidly taking shape, and
most of the' important questions in
the matter have baen settled. The
Graham Memorial Building Commit
tee at the meeting held in Raleigh
on the 30th extended to the Y. M.
C. A. a formal invitation by unani
mous voce to build and occupy the
South wing of the Graham Memor
ial. They agreed to allow the "Y"
permanent control of this wing. The
committee further expressed the de
sire that the "Y" avail itself of the
social facilities of the Graham Me
morial Building, just as will every
other campus activity.
The Y. M. C A. Board of Directors
have accepted invitation for two prin
ciple reasons. The first was that
such an arrangement would be for
the liest interests of the unity, fur
it has in times past been the "big
brother'' to nearly every student or
ganization here. The second reason
was the ability to meet the entire
needs from the building standpoint
with about one-half the expenditure
which would be necessary for a sepa
rate building with the proper faci
lities for the social program.
At tne meeting of the Board of
Trustees of the Universtiy on the
31st the Y. M. C. A. was authorized
to commence as early as was thought
advisable with its building program
.n connection with the Graham Me
morial Building. The "Y" was also
given authority to appeal l.o the
Kockefellar Foundation or c- any
other foundation which will grant
money for such purposes and wh'.eh
does not impose too many restric
tions. Freshmen Win Game
FromV.M. I. Team
After defeats at the hands of the
Virginia freshmen and the Wood
berry Forest quint on Monday and
Tuesday nights respectively, the Car
olina freshman five defeated the V.
M. I. freshman team at Lexington,
Va., Wednesday night by the score
of 24 to 14. The game was slow
and listlessly played, and both teams
missed many scoring chances.
On several occasions the Tar
Heels dribbled the length of the floor
and scored. The Cadet team was off
color ov at least did not display the
form that enabled them to win from
Staunton Military Academy in their
opening game. For the young Cad
ets, Wintriger shot the first goal of
the game. But soon the Old North
State took the lead and kept it
throughout the game. The first half
ended 12 to 7.
In the second half Carolina in
creased her lead and held the Vir
ginians scoreless, until the last three
minutes of play whan the Cadets
sent in three two pointers. For Car
olina the stars of the gams were Mor
ton and Hackney. Both players had
three field goals to their credit. Cal
houn a'co sent in three goals. For
the Virginia team Wintriger played
the bast game, also getting three
goals.

There is one case of influenza in
the Infirmary, the first of the year.
Dr. Eric A. Abernethy, University
physician, told of the case in chapel
Wednesday morning and gave warn
ing that the malady might spread
unless proper precautions are tak
en. "When you have a cold come to the
Infirmary immediately," Dr. Aber-
nethy warned, "and don't go about
sneezing in folks' faces. Use your
handkerchief. Remember, influenza
always starts with a cold that might
not appear serious. So, come to the
Infirmary and let your case be diag
nosed before harm can be done."
Six cases of colds were reported in
ihe Infirmary on Friday. One of the
.iiirses said all would be out by the

Earl Hartsell Has been Elected to Edit the New Publication
At a recent meeting of the Publi
cation Board it was .decided to estab
lish a new collage comic that shall
be an official pub'.ication of the Uni
versity. This resulted from the ef
forts of a group of students interest
ed in publication work who have been
formulating plans for an official hu
morous magazine ever since the Boll
Weevil board was dissolved by the
3xecutive Committee last fall. They
presented their plans and reasons to
the Union Board in the form of res
olutions which were adopted by the
Board.
E. H. Hartsell Editor
The Union Board has appointed
Earl . Hartsell, '21, who has baen act

Man Who Called Colleges Hot
Beds of Radicalism Speaks
in Chapel Feb. 18th.
According to a front page article
in the Raleigh News and Observer of
February third, General A. J. Bowley
of Fort Bragg declared, when speak
ing before the North Carolina Com
mercial Secretaries' Association, that
this country is filled with "red" rad
icals who now control the Christian
Endeavor societies, the W. C. T. U.
rnd the Y. W. C. A., and many oth
sr seemingly innocent organizations.
He denounced the leading colleges
of America as hot bads of radical
ism and their open farums as breed
ers of revolution and said senile ccl
ege professors were ' the dubs who
fostered these things. Professors
Matherly and Hobbs, Mr. Snell and
Dr. Murchison of the University fac-
uHy'were ' in the- arflieitce but tKc
General did not know it. A motion
made after the close of the Gener
al's views brought immediate oppo
sition from Chester D. Snell, direc
tor of the University Extension Di
vision, but was not acted upon even
though the General called Mr. Snell
pig-headedly narrow and other abus
ive terms.
General Bowley has been schedul
ed by Dean Bradshaw to speak at
Chapel exercises Monday, February
18. It seems certain that all of the
faculty will attend chapel and that
99 per cent of the student body will
be on deck.
In viv of the above facts a brief
summary of some of General Bow
lay's other utterances at the Raleigh
meeting, as taken from the News

DECIDES TO
ANEW COLLEGE COMIC
ly that the present sutdent Jee will
not be raised or touched in any way,
for the new comic will le started on
a subscription basis. If the new
magazine proves to be a success and
meets with the approval of the stu
dent body, it may be incorporated in
to the budget fee by a two-thirds
vote of the student body, at the end
af next year. The Board further
stated that the finances of the ex
i3ting Publications Union will ba in
no manner affected by this new
comic.
Alumnus Offers Aid
Interest in a new college com!:
was stimulated last fall after the
Boll Weevil affair when a well
known printer, an alumnus of the
University, made an attractive offer
to finance a new humorous publica
tion until it could support itself. He
expressed hitrsalf strongly in favo
of a comic magazine, bearing the of
ficial stamp of the University, and
stated his belief that a high type of
magazine could be turned out from
Chapel Hill that would soon win
recognition in the South.

KEITH GRADY SERIOUSLY
BURNED BY ELECTRICITY
Keith Grady, a junior in the Elec
trical Engineering School, was seri
ously burned by electricity on Wed
nesday at Great Falls, South Carolina.
Jrady, who i3 a co-operative student
was working at Groat Falls. The
iccident, according to Professor Lear,
who went immediately to the si'.ene
when he heard of it, was one of
these seemingly unavoidable kinds
that will happen at times.
The student was turning on a
switch when he was caught in nr.
arc formed by the electricity. His
chest and body was burned very ser
iously but the doctors say that the
burns are not so very deep,. When
Mr. Lear left, Grady was suffering
much pain, of course, but the doc
tors attending claim that he will re
cover unless pneumonia sets in. Mr,
Lear stated that daily reports wouk
be had on his condition and hat he
felt that the patient would recover
quickly.
Grady, whose home is in Tryon, is
well known here on the campus, espe
cially among the engineering students
and his many friends will regret to
hear of the accident. This accident
is the first one that has been exper
ienced under the co-operative system,
and this was due to an unavoidable
cause.

CAROLINA MAKES
A CLEAN SWEEP
IN WEEK'S TRIP
Defeats Catholic University,
Maryland and Lynchburg
In Succession
MEET VIRGINIA SATURDAY
Having thus far successfully in
vaded Virginia nad Maryland on its
northern trip, the Tar Heel basket
ball quint will meet probably its two
hardest games of the trip tonight
and tomorrow when Washington and
Lee and Virginia are taken on. The
Navy game which was looked upon
by many as the hardest of the trip,
was cancelled on account of the
death of Ex-President Wilson. At
tempts have been made to get the
Carolina team to play either Friday
or later, according to the daily pa
pers, but as yet nothing has been
definitely settled.
Catholic University Game
After taking V. M. I. into camp on
Saturday night the team left for
Washington where they met the Cath
olic University basketeers. Here
Coach Shepard's men dished out a
defeat to the Catholics with a 35 to
12 score. Setting a dizzy pace that
the Catholic University tossers were
jnable to match, the Tar Heels gave
the Red and Black five their first
defeat of the season. The first halt
was an even battle, but in the sec
ond half Carolina produced such
speed that completely bewildered the
C. U. veteran combination.
A Washington paper, in refering to
the game, says, "Cries of 'C. U. is
having an off night' were heard at
times, but the Brooklanders fought
hard all the way. They mde the
best of most of the opportunities
offered and fell before a betUu
team.'
For Carolina, Carmichael played an
excellent game accounting for 12
points. Cobb was the leading scorer
with 17 points to his credit. Bwalin
and Lynch showed up bust for Cath
olic UnivfTHity, , - ,

MARYLAND GAME
Tuesday night the University of
Maryland was defeated at CoMoge
Park by the seore of 2( to 20. C'ar
michael's uncanny ability in looping
afar and the proficiency of the Tar
Heels in making free shots count
while their opponents were badly oil
form on fouls, are reasons given by
the Washington Post for Carolina's
twelfth consecutive win.
The Marylanders assumed the lead
early in the game and kept it until
just after the second half had be
gun. With the score standing agamst
them 14 to 11, Captain Green and his
men entered the game at tho begi'i
ning of the latter half with the pur
pose of running up the score. A shot
from the floor by Cobb and n suc
cessful free toss by Dodderer tied
up the score. Two free goals gave
Carolina the lead. Then Curmichaei
began to take longer shots and with
deadly effect for the home team. He
shot three goals from outside die 17
wot line during the game.
For, Carolina, Carmichael and
Cobb, as usual, set the pace. Batty,
with un exceptional display of de
fense woik and floor play, shone for
the Maryland team.
