May Peterson Coming ; o'y ' ' 'The announcement that May Peterson, who has been in the Metropolitan Opera company, will appear In Chapel Hill in the near future, is news which should be of great Interest!

'-f HIS TWENTIETH READING Gerrard Hall Will Be Decorated the Occasion. for The yearly revival of that combina tion of happiness and good cheer known as "the spirit Of Christmas" will begin Sunday night, December 14, when Pro fessor Koch will read Dickens' immortal "Christmas Carol." The reading will be held in Gerrard hall instead of Me morial hall as previously announced, and will begin at 8:30. The hall will be decorated with evergreen and Christmas carols will be sung from the balcony between staves. This will be Mr. Koch's 20th annual reading of the Carol, and it has become such an institution that the story of its inception is interesting. Back in 1905, Mr. Koch, then teaching in North Da kota, read the Carol and remarked upon its beauty. One of his hearers asked that he give a public reading of the Carol, and, Mr. , Koch consenting, it was held informally around the fireside in one of the dormitories. For 19 success ive years since that time Mrr Koch -has given readings of the Carol, always on the last Sunday night before the Christ mas holidays. Several times Mr. Koch gave the read ing in prairie towns in North Dakota, and once at Harvard university. LOTUS PLANT HAS GROWN SIX INCHES Botany Department's "Nelumbo Nuci fera" Has Increased Its Height ; to Twelve Inches. A poet once expressed the following as his highest aspiration: "To eat the lotui of tht Nile, And drink the poppiet of Cathay." Again the "dear old lotus" comes to the fore. Over in the Botany depart ment the staff seems to have found its development rather a bore; but the Tab Heel reporter still finds that there is news of note about the "Nelumbo Nuci- fera found by Ichito Ogha." The little soriit is now 12 inches long, having dou bled its length in the last three weeks, which shows that its strength must be failing, for it grew the first six inches In a little less than two weeks. The Ta Heel's dream of seeing the specimen growing to the top of the "dear old well" will have to be aban doned, or at least modified. The result of the computation was that it would reach the top of the well by November 22, 1925. If the ratio just established continues the lotus sprig Will stop its growth by April J, 1925. But it has at least accomplished one triumph: on the topmost part of the lonirest of the three sprigs there is un- misakably a leaf, about an Inch long. By the time the students return after the' vacation. It is hoped that the hard working, much-talked-of little sprig will have acquired another. . . Another Honor For Prof. Koch The following paragraph f rom the Ralehrh -Newi and Obterver wlll. no doubt prove of Interest on the campus: "Frederick H. Koch, professor of Eng lish at the University of North Caro lina and director and organizer of the Carolina Plavmakers, was elected presi dent of the State Literary and Histori cal Association which closed its twenty- fourth annual session here yesterday with the election of officers and the founding of a State Fine Arts Association." According to Professor Koch, this hohor comes to him as an evidence of the iwnirnitlon which the work of the Play- makers is receiving throughout the State. The Chi Phi fraternity announces the pledging of W. W. Jarrett, of Charlotte. BASKETBALL HAS MIDDLE RING IN CAMPUS CIRCUS Cagers Hard At Work Under i Direction of Coach "Monk" McDonald, Former Star COBB CAPTAINS THE TEAM Squad Has Been Cut Down to Twenty Men Dodderer and Devin Back From 1923 Team.

The squad is now down to about 20 men, most of whom have had some varsity or freshman experience. Three men of the "Wonder Team" of last year are back and form a nucleus around which Coach McDonald will probably build his team. These men are Captain "Spratt" Cobb, all-southern forward j Bill Dodderer,. center, and Billy.. Devin, guardv Sam McDonald,, brother to "Monk'? and a letter man of two years ago, who was ineligible last year,' is out for the teem and appears to have a good chance of becoming Cobb's running mate at forward. He is getting plenty of op position from other candidates, however, and will have to fight to get the place. Johnny Purser appears to be the fore most candidate for the other guard po sition. He has been on the squad for years and is a consistent player. ;.:' Other men who are out and are fur nishing strong opposition for places are Jimmy Pool, Ikie Calhoun, "Red" Bar bour, Bunn Hackney, George Carmichael, Lawrence Watt, Donald Koonce and Bil ly Harvcll. ' ' Other Southern conference teams are looking forward to basketball, some with championship aspirations. Down at "Ole Miss" the team is in fine shape and Is confidently looking forward to a suc cessful season, according to their student paper. (Mercer, one of-Carolina'sup ponents last year, and who will prob ably be on the schedule again this season, is not so jubilant, for four of her "var sity men are out because of graduation, ineligibilities and injuries. j 8 EXAMINATION SCHEDULE, FALL QUARTER 1924.

' Herman Mclver, varsity center for three years, was ' elected captain of the 1925 team last Tuesday night. CAMPUSPROBLEMS BRING DISCUSSION Joint Session of Student Lead ers and Faculty Committee. 5VANT CLASS COMPETITION Group Expressed Itself in Favor of . Having Classes Complete. Several matters of general campus im portance were discussed in the regular joint session of the central administrative council and student leaders and the fac ulty committee on student activities held last Wednesday afternoon. There was a general round of discussion in which both faculty members and students took part. The subject of Inter-class athletics was discussesd and it was evident thut'fliere was a prevailing opinion that class ath letics should, If possible, be again taken up and made a part of the intra-niural program. A plan, outlined by Coach Bob Fetzer and presented by John Pur ser, director of intra-mural work, was suggested whereby class competition could be had without actual class games. It pointed out the fact that the class as a workable unit in the Intra-mural plan was not as good as the dormitory or the fraternity. The plan proposes that points should be given to the classes for participation by its members in any form of campus or collegiate activity. For example, if the junior class had a man on the football squad, that class would get a designated number of points. After, considerable discussion the pro posal was allowed to be carried over. ; The proposal for the creation of a University button corresopnding in size to the fraternity pledge button and which would be worn by all upperclassmcn met with approval by the majority- of those present. It was decided to have designs presented by companies and to take the proposal up later. "' j A very interesting discussion was had on the subject of class dormitories. Pres ident Chase was very much interested in this matter and was very desirous of securing student opinion. It was brought out that last spring the alumni proposed that some such plan be adopt ed whereby the classes would be bound together more closely as units. It was agreed to present the matter to the stu dents for their consideration and sugges tions at a later date. ' '' ; Other suggestions were offered by stu dents and faculty aiming at a better campus spirit. However, no other dis cussion took place at this time. It was decided to have another joint session of the students leaders and the faculty com mittee soon after the Christmas holidays. , It will be remembered by those in school last year that these meetings of student leaders and the faculty commit tee arose out of the movement for a greater campus unification. The central administrative council provided for by the plan adopted last year Is composed of the president of the student body, the president of the senior class, and the editors of the Carolina Magazine and the Tab Heeu It is the duty of this group to act much in the same way as the old campus cabinet In considering and pro posing measures which it thinks will ben efit the campus. It had no jurisdiction, merely being an advising group. The larger group of student leaders has been called in several times during the quar ter for general conferences.
