KU KLUX KLAN QUESTION TO BE AIRED OUT HERE Editor of The Kourier Will Speak for Klan and Bailey Will Oppose It. SPE A K A WEEK APART .Hamlett Comes to Speak in Place of Judge Henry Grady, Prominent Karolina Klansman. Two talks on an Issue which is of much contemporary Interest both to students and to people all over the state will be made in Chapel Hill, beginning on Fri day night, January 30, when Dr. W. A. Hamlett, of Atlanta, editor of Tht Kou rier, a preacher and an outstanding lec turer .on the Ku Klux Klan, will give a lecture outlining the good points 'of the Klan, and ending one week later when Josiah William Bailey, of Raleigh, well known as a candidate for the nomination for Governor in the recent campaign, will speak in opposition to the Klan and its principles. , Dr. Hamlett has! been a member of the Ku Klux Klan for several years, and has spent a great deal of his time recent ly in lecturing all over the country In favor of the Klan. F. S. Griffin, presi dent of the Di Senate, who has been in communication with Klan leaders for several weeks, finally succeeded in get ting Dr. Hamlett to come to Chapel Hill. Judge Henry Grady was at first asked to give the lecture, but that man pointed out Dr. Hamlett as being better pre pared for doing It. ' ' Besides being a great fighter for re duced freight rates, Mr. J. W. Bailey has also found time to knock the Ku Klux Klan on every occasion, and he was se lected as being well prepared to make a speech in opposition to it. Mr. Bailey has stated that he will base all his argu ment on the doctrines held by the Klan. The two men are being brought here under the auspices of the Di Senate. FROSH WILL PLAY MARS HILL HERE ShepherdV Charges Will Meet Strong Team Tonight. LI N E-U Pj IS UNCERTAIN Mars Hill Quint Defeated Reserves Last Year. The frosh basketeers get their first trial tonight when they meet the Mars Hill quint in the Tin Can. Mars Hill is said to have an exceptionally good team and is expected to furnish strong opposition. Last year the prep school team met the varsity reserves in the Can, played them off their feet and won. Flaying with the reserves then were several men who are making a strong bid for varsity po sitions this year. If as good a team comes here as that of last season Coach Shepherd's men will do well to work' out a victory. . No one knows just who will start the game tonight and probably several men will get a chance to show their wares before' the final whistle is blown, but the best bet appears to be Neweomb at cen ter, Ferrell and Morris at guards, and Vanstory and Skinner at forwards.. CHEMISTRY HALU NOT YET FINISHED Interior Work Will Take Up Much Time. NAMED FOR VENABLE Building Will Probably Be Ready for Fall Term. . While. the new ehemistry building, Ten able hall, has the roof trusses and pyro bar roof in place, some time must neces sarily elapse before the structure will be ready for occupancy. Although com pletion looks near at hand from the out side, there still remains practically the whole Interior yet to be erected. Ac cording to H. D. Carter of Atwood & Nash, architects, the edifice Is only about 80 per cent completed. . . Much work has been necessary from the beginning. Construction was started in a virgin forest, and, owing to the landscape, much grading had to be done before the foundation could be started. Considering the circumstances, the prog ress made thus far has been very rapid. The heating pipes are yet to be placed) the blows and duct system of ventilation will require much care and time for in stallation. The plastering of the entire building will, have to he done, and then it must dry. When the interior is fln Ishesd, doors and .trims will have to be put on. The top flooring of woodv or granolithic Is yet. to be laid, and the (Continued on pag four) PLAYMAKERS TO FINISH CRUSADE WITH BIG SHOW To Be Given In Memorial Hall With Student Body Invited to Attend Free. G I V E N FOR ATHLETICS Donations Will Be Received and Given Toward Fund for Purchase of Gold Footballs, Etc. tn Memorial Hall on Monday night, February 2, the Carolina Playmakers will give a free performance of the plays pre sented while on their Southern tour, from which they will have just returned. The program includes "When Witches Ride," a play of folk superstition by Elizabeth Lay, "Fixin's," a tragedy of tenant farm life, by Erma and Paul Greene, and "Gaius and Cuius, Jr.," a farcercomedy of the Old South by Lucy M. Cobb. These plays will be given as a com plimentary performance on the part of the Playmakers to the athletes of the University. Although no admission what ever will be charged, a collection at the door after the performance will provide an opportunity for those who so desire to contribute. The entire proceeds exclu sive of the actual cost of the production -r-;onsisting of items such as make-up, rental, and lighting- will go to buy gold footballs, basketballs, and baseballs for the men who uphold Carolina's glory in athletics. Thus the performance will provide an opportunity for the student body, the faculty, and the residents of Chapel Hill to show their appreciation of the work which the wearers of the monogram have done on the teams. The regular prices of seats for the Playmak ers' performance are $2 and $2.50 on the Southern tour, while at performances in Chapel Hill the admission is usually $1; this performance, however, will be entirely free. It is only expected that the spectators will give what they feel the performance is' worth and what they would like to contribute for the emblems, as an expression of their appreciation for our athletes' work.' All arrangements for the performance are In the hands of the officers of the athletic association. The cast Pfthe plays will be announced in an early issue. It has been learned already, however, that Aubrey Shackle, who, besides being one of the most talented of the Playmakers, was manager of last year's track and wrestling teams, will return to Chapel Hill to take a prominent role in the per formance. DI SENATE TALKS ABOUT R.0T.C. Senator Charlie Jonas Leads the Way. A QUORUM NOT PRESENT Seems to Be Much Opposition to the '. Proposition. The second meeting of the recently organized Di ' Senate served the pur pose of dropping a little oil in the new machine, in that it make its members a little more familiar with senatorial, pro cedure. Of the five bills on the calendar for disposal, the first one, introduced by Senator Charlie Jonas, of Lincoln, took up the entire time. The bill favored the Introduction of a R. O. T. C at the University, with membership voluntary. Moderate debate was held over ;it. The proponents of the bill claimed that the introduction of a R. O. T. C. would justify itself alone by the physi cal benefits to be 'derived from it by the students. They denied that it would foster a spirit of militarism, and some who admitted that it might foster that spirit, contended it would be good. The disciplinary benefits to be obtained from such training, the affirmative contended, is a strong point in its favor. The negative pointed out the many opportunities for physical exercise open for Carolina students, which make un necessary a R. Q. T. C. for that pur pose. Long discourses were made by the opponents of the bill on the evils of militarism and the dangers attending the fostering of a militaristic spirit, which they claimed a R. 0. T. C would do. They used the argument that the "voluntary" element of the bill would make it Ineffective ; A quorum was not present, and the Senate decided to further discuss and vote on the measure at the next session. Senator Donald Jonas, chairman of a committee to have the new Di constitu tion ; printed, reported that the new printed constitutions would be ready by the next session. President H. W. .Chase left Sunday night for Washington City to attend a meeting of the National Park Commission. WRESTLERS LICK THE RALEIGH Y Win Season Opener by Score of 21-5. VICK DOES 'GOOD WORK Carolina Meets State College Friday Night. Carolina's wrestling team won the ini tial match of the season Saturday night by defeating Raleigh Y. M. C. A. there by a score of 21-5, the Tar Heel team getting three, falls and two decisions on time. Starting promptly at 8:30, the match was characterized by snappiness and speed throughout. Representing Caro lina in the 119-pound class was Heafner. He was opposed by Bailey, who out weighed the University man by 5 pounds. Time was -called for Bailey to change trunks, they having been ripped in the fray. Bailey lasted only 2 minutes and 30 seconds before Heafner's onslaught, and here 5 points were added to U. N. C.'s score by means of a fall.' 1 In the 129-pound class Motsinger, a veteran of last year's team, continued the fighting which marked the opening of activities for Coach Shapiro's men. In exactly 2 minutes and 45 seconds 'Mot singer had secured a fall over .his op ponent, Poole,' and had rolled up the team's score by another 5 points. , Matched against Vick, Carolina's 139-, pound representative, was Goldberg, a contestant in the Olympic tryouts Held in Durham in 1922. - Vick proved more than a match for him, however, in both offensive and defensive work. ! After 3 minutes and 30 seconds Goldberg's shoul ders were pinned to the mat and 5 more points were added to the total by the veteran of last year's team. Captain Waters, the 149-pound man, was pitted against' Nixon, captain and coach of the Raleigh "Y" team. Waters entered every - meet last year and was not thrown once. A hard fight ensued between the two captains, and during the excitement Nixon succeeded in get ting a fall by means of a "full Nebran" 'without the referee's noticing it, this hold being barred in intercollegiate wres tling.' ., "j. .;' r In the 152-pound class Blankenship Won over J oneT,n"ex-na vol wrestler, on a time decision. This he added 3 points -to Carolina's score, which now stood at 18-5. When Warren, 175-pounder, came on the mat, he had to meet Gattis, another ev-naval wrestler. Thus it was that the Navy again met the Army; Warren being a West Pointer. The Army's representa tive came off victorious, Warren also winning on a time decision. As the Y. M. C. A. had no unlimited weight wres tler, Lockhart, of Carolina, was not giv en the opportunity of going on the mat. The meet ended 21-5. This is a creditable showing for the first meet of the year, considering the ex perience of the' opposing teams. It shows the result of splendid coaching and con sistent training, and it is hoped that the "big team" can keep up the good work when the collegiate schedule is, started. Carolina matmen go to Raleigh again next week, when they meet State Friday night, January 23. phi society"holds its first smoker of year Delightful Banquet Held in Carolina .' Cafeteria Last Saturday Night After Davidson Game. The Phi Society held its first smoker banquet of the year last Saturday night in the Carolina Cafeteria at nine-thlr,ty. It was proclaimed by many as a most delightful banquet. About sixty or seventy members of the society were present and their lively spirit helped to ward off the usua) ban quet's monotony. ' An excellent feed was spread by the cafeteria manager.-1' At the beginning of the program Fred Parker, of Goldsboro, was installed as the new speaker of the society. He took charge fo the program and -called on many of the members to make talks and respond with jokes. . Two negroes were brought in and amused the society with several rounds of boxing. . A collection was taken up and divided up on a 60-40 basis, the winner getting the larger pot. Dr. Charles Foster Kent, Yale pro fessor, will deliver two lectures here Thursday on the general theme, "Jesus' Philosophy of Life." The lec tures will be delivered in Gerrard Hall, the first one at 4:00 P. M. and the second at 8:30. Dr. Kent was scheduled to be here three days, but due to an unexpected business call to Atlanta, he is forced to cut his Chapel Hill visit to one day, so is condensing his material into two addresses.

WILDCATS CLAW IN VAIN AGAINST THE TAR HEELS Game Was Hard Fought De spite Lop-Sided Score Run Up Against Presbyterians. DEFEATED THEM 44 TO 13 First Major College Contest of Year Eliminates Davidson from ' , Championship Race. Playing a much better all-round game than upon the previous, night when they defeated Guilford, Carolina's flying five brushed Davidson aside . last Saturday as a contender for state honor, rolling up a 44 to 13 score upon the Wildcats in a contest much more exciting than the score would indicate. " Davidson was clearly outclassed before the superior passing and shooting of Coach McDonald's men, and after a brief fiveTminute. struggle at the opening of the game there was no doubt as to the final outcome so far as the victory was concerned. In those opening few min utes Davidson trailed .Carolina closely, the score being variously 3-1, 5-3, 7-4, but the pace set by Cobb and his co horts was too fast for Presbyterians and in a few moments' the Tar Heels began to draw away. -'With time almost up for the first half the Carolinians took a spurt that brought four field goals In rapid succession and put them far ahead, the score when the period ended being 23 to 6. Dodderer was by far the outstanding star of the game. Playing a beautiful floor game he broke up Davidson's passes time and again His sensational work was largely responsible for the fact that the Wildcats scored only 13 points ; how ever, the entire Tar Heel quint guarded well. '' '-. . . - Sam McDonald had a great night of it at forward, tossing the ball through the hoop for 17 points, four more than Davidson's total. , ' . Anderson played a good game at cen ter for the' visitors, and while he couldn't get the'' tip-off over Dodderer he scored five-of his team's points. Boggs at left guard also played a strong game, his dribblingbeing, especially, good... .Caro Una rushed the Wildcats off their feet and Coach Younger sent in several sub stitutes in an effort to stem the tide, but all to no avail, Lineup and summary: Carolina (44) Davidson (13) Cobb (7) Beal (2) R.

With Davidson and Guilford dis posed of Carolina meets this week her two remaining rivals for state honors in 'Wake Forest and Duke, hoth the games ' being played on foreign courts, the Baptists tomorrow and the Metho dists Saturday. Garrity's crew has just returned from a six game Virginia trip on which they won four games and lost two; win ning from Washington and Lee, V. P. I., Richmond Blues, and Lynchburg, and losing to V. M. I. and Georgetown Uni versity. ; ' c ' 7 The Deacons always have a good team and thjs year with a team composed ak most ' entirely of veterans is exception ally good. The fact that the game Is played upon their own court will give them a slight margin in their favor as it always does the home team. ' The great Trinity quint of last year has graduated and the men representing Duke are for the most part green and inexperienced. While they will undoubt edly do their utmost to win from Cap tain Cohb's crew . they are hardly ex pected to furnish very strong opposition. Guilford played . them , a close game, Duke pulling away in the last to win by a ten point margin.

GLEE CLUB GIVES VARIED CONCERT Jerome Swinford Praises Club Highly. SANG AS GUEST ARTIST Club Shows Improvement Over Or ganization of Last Year. . By Lucy F. Lat "Your glee club has been making his tory in the past week. I would like to say that I have sung with many choral organizations In the country, and I have never fleen a finer and more represen tative group of men, nor have I heard any finer choral singing. This past week has been the greatest pleasure of my life." So Jerome Swinford, New York baritone, who was guest artist with the glee club appearances, paid tribute to the work of the students under the di rection of Paul John Weaver 'and Theo dore Fitch. The program of the concert on Mon day evening represented a . variety of some of the highest types of choral music, and the singing was to many a marvelous revelation of tone effects. Not only was there marked Improvement in the work over the program given here last year by the club, but also the eve ning's entertainment was the high water mark of choral singing. Despite the fact that there was more than the cus tomary proportion of mud extant over the community, there was quite a good audience to greet the singers on their return from their state tour. The opening group of Bacli chorales set the tone of the progrum. They were sung with ease and exquisite shading. In the third, an organ-like background for the solo part by Mr. Fitch was at tained by the chorus. It was not mere singing, such as one generally hears in an average choral concert, it was art of the highest sort, exhibiting restraint at one time, and at another the fullest vigor and force. As the program progressed the enthu siastic reception became more and more evident. In the group of old sacred songs the "Misere , Mel Deus" was given so much applause that it was repeated. The beautiful blending of the parts was espe cially evident in this number. In the group of folk-songs, remark able effects were gained when the cho rus made a soft background for Mr. Fitch's solos. Of the four In the group, the" negro spiritual, "Wait till I put on my crown," proved to be the most popu lar with the audience. It was sung with an unbounded enthusiasm and vigor. "On the Sea," by Dudley Buck, includ ed a rich variety of effect. "Ma Little Banjo," always a favorite with audi ences, was sung with distinct originality and delicacy. In "The Moorish Sere nade" the piano accompaniment played by Mr. Fitch was exceedingly lovely. Mr. Swinford, who has a baritone voice of richness and fullness of tone, sang two groups of songs. Particularly well done were the Beethoven selection, "Adoration of Nature," and the Ulster folk-song, "The Last Market Day." The negro song, "Didn't it Rain," was sung in a most expressive and inimitable man ner. The .Breton folk-song about the Nativity showed delicacy of ' treatment As one of his encore he gave "By the Waters of Mlnnetonka." Mr. Weaver's accompaniment was especially admirable (Continued on pag$ four) Yale Professor of Law Will De liver Address.
