The ''trouble 'arose Whcnj all tried to agree on the night. There were publication meetings to attend on Monday niht, initiations on Tucs day night, conferences on Wednes day night, orchestra rehearsals cn Thursday, and so on through the week. After an' hour of wrangling, they decided a meeting was imposs ible and the over rushed students adjourned. This little comedy (or is it a trag edy?) presents a state affairs that has often been discussed but never settled, and offers a timely sugges tion to various organizations. Have we too many org-r2atiur.s for the size of the student body or have we too few men in too many organiza tions? There's the problem Regjie. A perusal of the Yackety Yack pages would indicate that the latter holds true. About a dozen men be long to five or six honorary organi zations, about fifty to one or two, and two thousand to none at all. The results are obvious. The chosen few try to divide their energy among five different clubs and are unable to devote their full time and worth to any one. Hundreds of deserving students, who would make good work ers if given the opportunity, are left out altogether. As long as the or ganizations continue to tag more hon ors and responsibilities on a fow men who are already surfeited with hon ors and duties the uneven and un just balance will continue. This is the time for initiation into the numerous .organizations and clubs, and we throw out : the above suggestion as a worth-while policy to follow in the selection of new organi zation material. uram twister tor tins issue scan the quarterly report of the Publica tions Union Board and figure out how much money the Tar Heel, Mag azine and Yackety Yack have made. A psychology test was given to the Heelers Tuesday night. The tests will not be read until after the men have been selected for the Tar Heel staff. If the results tally they will be given the Psychology Depart ment. If not, they, will be given to the Philosophy Department. Students are .becoming so accust omed to fires in Chapel Hill many re fuse to roll out of bed when the si ren sounds in the dead of night, the crowd that watched Harmon's bean kitchen burn was a poor repre sentation. ; By the way, who is going to feed the high school debaters next week? t Casey Morris shows few signs of old age. He is almost a ball team in himself. One of these days Casey is liable to dent the Tin Can. Election nominations will be held in chapel next Monday. Then comes a week of frantic politicking, and on Monday week the day of judgment. It will be short but not sweet. About twelve different organiza tions will be represented on the bal lot. Each organization will probably have at least 12 men running for the various offices. This is a roundabout way of saying that the ballots will he a yard or so long. Last night a timid young lady poked her head into the office and asked, "Is this the Playmaker adver tising agency?" "No," we replied with some indignation, "This is the Tar Heel office." Then she flashed a mocking smile and left. Now what did she mean by that? . The Swain Hall .management an nounced with great glee that all the "Zip" and Grits were saved. Ah! the Gods were kind! A few days ago, the members of a well known honorary organization tried to settle on a date for a special meeting to come the following week. Each man had a full schedule, but admitted that he might possibly FRESHMAN DEBATING SOCIETY HAS MEETING in!a regular session of the Fresh men Debating Society Monday even ing; March 81, it was decided that a committee' be appointed to see a bout awarding a medal to the bast debater within the society. The negative side won the deci sion after a very interesting discus sion as to whether or not the present Soldiers' Bonus Bill should be pass- d. Those speaking on the affirma tive were L. B. Kennet and R. M. Hardee, while J. M. Wright and B. i. Hark upneld the negative. In a short talk the president urged all members to devote at least one hour of study to the question be fore each meeting. Matthews in Chapel Monday Pierce Mathews, captain of ,1924 football team, gave further informa tion in regard to cheerleaders in chap el Monday. He stated that the Monogram Club asked two things of the student body. The first is the co-operation of all students in the movement to obtain better cheerleaders, the second "that each class send out as many candi dates for cheerleader as possible. The program of the Monogram Club will be to try out each candidate and give some coaching in cheerleading. Captain Mathews issued a call for all men interested in cheerleading. He was of the opinion that the cheer leader would receive some kind of insignia, but he urged the students to remember that they would be work ing for Carolina in this service and that this should be the all-important The cheerleaders will come from all thing. classes, the chief coming from the rising Senior class, the two assis tants from the rising Junior, and the four sub-assistants from the rising Sophomore. At the close of Mathews' talk an announcement concerning the next meeting of a club which has for its purpose the acquainting of the mem bers with the situation in foreign na tions was made by W. T. Couch. He stated that the club would meet next Wednesday night in Saunders Hall at 7:30. Glee Club Try-Outs i COLOSSAL TASK TO REMOVE ILLITERACY IN INDIA The government of Punjab, India, is seriously attacking the colossal problem of illiteracy. Seventy thous and boys were added to the school en rollment in 1921-22 and 150,000 in 1922-23, but it is exceedingly difficult to keep them in school. Three-fifths of them drop out before entering the second class, and fewer than one fourth continue to the fourth class. Even of those who remain long enough to ba classed as literate many soon relapse after leaving school into the mass of illiterates about them. A beginning has been made in adult education, and adult pupils who .show competence and enthusiasm often at tain literacy after six months tuition. '.Spring try-outs for. the glee. club on Thursday and Friday afternoons brought forth 15 new men, and from this number three or four are to be selected for places on the club, to gether with three or four from the cast of "Ye Gods." Twenty members remain from the the club from last fall, and to this number will be added the half doz en singers to be chosen this week. This addition will bring the club to the full strength needed for concerts. The club will enter the state glee club contest to be held in Durham on May 1st, and the following week. beginning May 5th, a trip is planned through the eastern part of the state and into Virginia. The program for this spring will be of a much higher class than has been attempted before, according to Mr. Theodore Fitch, director, and will require two or three rehearsals each week in order that it may be thoroughly mastered in time for the state trip early in May. As this im provement of the program shows, the quality of the glee club itself has improved this year, and it is expect ed to be one of the best yet turned out at the University.

The Club had as its guests the presi dents of the student body and differ ent classes. After enjoying a de licious supper served by the ladies of the church, the club heard a short talk by Jack Allsbrook. Mr. Allsbrook commended the club on its work and on the fine spirit it is developing among the dormitories, the spirit of living and studying together and of learning to respect the rights of other students by keeping the regulations and governing each dormitory. Dean Bradshaw followed Mr. Alls brook and stated that the University would stand back of any reasonable rules made by the dormitory Club, and would do all possible to make the dormitories pleasant and homelike for the students. The organization of a shooting club was suggested. The rifles are on hand from S. A. T. C. days, and the Government will furnish the ammu nition. This will be sponsored if a suitable range can be obtained. CAPTURE CONVICT Officers Williams and Wright ran down and captured an escaped negro felon from Chatham County, in Carrboro Wednesday returning him to the Chatham officers imme diately. The negro who had been ar rested with another of the same color in Chatham last week resulting from a charge of house breaking and rape, had escaped by outrunning the Chatham officers. His partner in crime, however, was tried and sen tenced to eight years in the peniten tiary. Garland Boland, the escaped negro, came to Carrboro to visit his broth er. Williams and Wright got news of him and proceeded to make the ar rest. A negro woman, however, saw them approaching the house, and gave the alarm. Boland started to run, while Williams prepared to do some shooting. Wright saved the sit uation by outrunning the negro and capturing him within a hundred yards. When caught Boland turned sullen giving up completely, and re fused to talk.
