The 1924 Yackety Yack has arrived and copies are being distributed at the Y building. The cover of the an nual is especially attractive; but it appears to us that the back of tfc book somewhat takes the nlare nf the proverbial wolFa lamb clothing for between the covers there a large number of outrageous mistakes. If the poets "To err is human" stat ment is true, then the present Yack ety Yack certainly has had the tonrb I tne a!jIes and chairs were scraped up ot the human hand.

Certainly the percent age of wins has been higher than the past three years. In fact the percent age has been above Carolina's prover bial seventy per cent. Students and professors pessimisti cally say that debating here is not what it used to be. : To this we read, ily agree Debating is not what it used to be. A student here two dec ades ago would not believe that it were possible- for the University to win five debates out of seven and take second place in two oratorical contests. '. . .,, We agree that debating, as such, may not be on as high a plan as it once was, but this is a universial con dition and not a local one. The vic tories of University teams over other teams has proved that the Uni varsity of North Carolina still ranks high in debating And we are not advocating any policy that requires of the winners oaly to be better than losers. Here is the situation as see it Speech-making is not in as great de mand as-it once was. Newspapers have done much to usurp the place of the old political stump speaker. Po Iltical campaigns ara conducted now more throngh the columns of the dailies rather than by speaking tour. Movies have had their share in push ing oratory to the background. ; The theatre is contributing its share. Many other institutions have eatered into the forefront formally occupied by the orator with his silver tongued oratory and syllogistic reasoning. The world around us has expert- enced a change. For us to. try to keep debating in a foremost place in college life would be contrary to con ditions everywhere. But the fact re mains that the past debating season has been successful. We do not gloat over our record for the year, but we do refuse to be pessimistic in face rf the universal conditions in all col leges as pictured above. There has been several outstand ing faults that should Joe amendea next year. One of the foremost of these is the crowding of a large num ber of contests into one quarter. This past year there was one intercol legiate debate in the fall quarter. The remaining six debates and the two oratorical contests came within a short period in the spring quarter. The Debating Council should see to it that contests are scheduled for enough in advance so as to allow a properly rounded program. . Another thing, although somewhat trivial, Is the conduction of the con. tepts here There is not much room for dignity and pomp in a debate in which the tables the debaters use look like wrecks. In several cases "That 'Y' Minstrel," given Thurs day, May 22, proved to be a very suc cessful and highly enjoyable perfor mance. The show was on the whole admirably planned and e:wcuted, and the performance well merited the ap plause accorded it by a large and en thusiastic audience. '7 - The show was divided into three 8.cts, of which the first two were de cidedly the most successful. Under the able direction of Kike Kyser, and with George Denny, manager of the Carolina Playmakers, in the role of ihterlocuter, the performance was al most sure to be pleasing. The cast included about forty-five men, of whom eighteen were blackface com edians.' '. ..'; .. '.. : The first act presented the usual circle scene, choruses of singers se lected largely from the Glee Club in the background, while blackface sing ing, dancing, and joke-cracking took place downstage. The Jokes and cracks were original and of a highly amusing character. Jim McClamroch, Mr. Bill Harding, and Mr. Theodore Fitch rendered vocal solos that were very pleasing. Mr. Grier in "Dancin' Dan," Erskin Duff in "Hula Lou," especially Frank Hirsey in "Steppin' Around" brought gales of laughter from the audience. Kike Kiser and Lee Bullock gave a very interesting exhibition of fancy clog-dancing. Act two opened with two numbers which met with well merited approv al. The harmony produced by a vo eal quartet from Trinity delighted everyone, and the singers -were en cored four times. Gene Smith, "The Original Sweet Mamma," who , has been on the Keith Circuit and who is now living in Raleigh, gave a female impersonation which was well-nigh perfect. Kike Kyser proved his ver satility in an original monologue which was cleverly written and acted. The third aet consisted of a thirty- minute afterpiece which contained several good parts, but which on the whole was a regrettable anti-climax after the overwhelming, success of the first two acts. The equipment of the comedians and the seenery were excellent. There was considerable delay in scene-shifting, but this is excusable because of the make-shift character of the stage appliances in Memorial Hall. Tfce music was furnished by the Caro lina Club Orchestra with the addition of Jim Thomas and Wilbur Royster of Raleigh, and Sam Avner. The or chestra charmed the audience with its usual superb playing. KLUTTZ BREAKS LEG TAR BABIES DEFEAT WAKE FOREST FROSH vine," ,but it appears to us that R.
