PLAYMAKERS RETURN FROM
SUCCESSFUL SOUTHERN TOUR

yet appeared have come reports of en
thusiastic welcomes. In Atlanta they
were tendered a brilliant dinner by the
Atlanta , Drama League and the two
North Carolina Societies of Atlanta. At
the theatre, boxes were draped in North
Carolina flags and the girls who served
,as ushers wore Norht Carolina colors.
The Columbia Record says of the
plays "So well written, produced and
enaced were the three plays presented
by the Playmakers that they would have
easily satisfied any cosmooolitan audi
ence. But to the audience that filled the
Town Theatre the plays were more than
merely satisfying. Dramatically strong,
with Intense human interest that por
trays the life of any section of the
country," to the Columbia audience they
were most interesting since the plays
, were inspired from scenes and peoples
living just across the line, in North
Carolina." The Columbia State refers
to the universality of the plays as fol
lows: "They make a drama so finely
theatrical, so humanly honest that it loses
Its locale the while it emphasizes it
Hereafter Columbia will watch with
keen interest what the Carolina Players
are doing, for their presentation last
niiit at the Town theater of three plays
of their own making proved them sound
and sincere of purpose, sure of method
and intent upon a worthwhile task."

A lecture illustrated from 'life la un
usual and the menagerie will attract
many students eager to observe the ex
periments. The subject of this lecture
js "Methods of Physiological Assay of
Various Drugs," but it will be non-technical
in nature, enabling anyone to he
and enjoy it. - The speaker comes here
under the auspices of the University
Branch of the American Pharmaceutical
Association which brines m1i VJlf 111 fc.
standing men of the profession to speak
to the students and community.
Dr. Pittenger is one of the best known
biological chemists in America. He was
the winner of the Ebert priae in 1923.
awarded annually by the American Phar
maceutical Association for the most val
uable research work in pharmaceutical
studies. He is also the chairman of the
committee on physiological testing and
of the scientific section of this associa
tion. He is the author of many bio
chemical books and is a regular contribu
tor to various scientific journals. At the
present time he is actively engaged as
chief research chemist for the H. K.
Mulford company, biological and manu
facturing chemists of Philadelphia, t,
Among his recent works that are of
general interest was an experiment to
determine the behavior on animals of
certain South American drugs, discov
ered by Dr. H. H. Rusby of Columbia
university when he headed the Mulford
expedition to South America to explore
the medicinal flora of that country. One
of the drugs he found which was later
used by Dr. Pittenger in his experiments
was caapi, a drug especially interesting
because it is used by the natives of
southeastern Colombia as a ' ceremonial
drink.
There is, among the savages, a 'belief
that all tribal misfortunes and Impend
ing dangers are the work of a personal
devil and that these dangers may be
escaped only through the exercising of
this evil spirit.. This exercising, they
believe, may be accomplished by the ex
hibition of great virtue, which, with them,
takes the form of patiently enduring
suffering and courageously facing the
danger. This action is usually an ordeal
of torture and is effected by drinking

Boxing offers the small man a chance
at athletic honors. : The smallest man in
school has as much chance as the toueh
est and. biggest player on the football
squad. Boxing runs by weights; there
is a weight for every man from 105
lb. up to the unlimited class. This gives
every man a chance to come out, to learn
tne game, to develop the body, and to
do his bit for Carolina's youngest sport.
More men are needed for the sauad.
The team has not been picked, and
there is a chance for any man who will
come out and work to make the team,
the trips, and finally gain recognition
from the Athletic Association as a mono
gram sport. ; ' " v;
The boxing team will make two trips
through Virginia. On Wednesday nitrht.
February the 11th, they box V. M. I.

February they go to Charlottesville to
meet the Cavaliers. This will be their
hardest meet, and if they win any of
them this is the one to go after. With
the backing of the student body, the
squad promises to give a team of which
all will be justly proud.
University of North Carolina songs

cast by ' WGY, the General Electric
broadcasting station, direct from the
Kdison Club tonight, at Schenectady,

But Bucks Outscore Them In Final
Session.
Coach Shepherd's yearlings struck
disaster in their game last Wednesday
night .with the Duke freshmen and were
forced to accept their second defeat out
of three starts by the score of 28 to
21.
The game was fast and sharply played
with the end in doubt up until the final
moment of play. At times both teams
showed extraordinarily good form for
first year' terms and gave promise --of
strong teams for both institutions later
in the season.. . '
At the end of the first half the Tar
Babies were on the long end of a 10 to
9 score, but during the second half were
unable to hold their advantage and were
soon passed by the Dukelets.
Newcombe was the leading; lis-ht for
Carolina and with nine points to his
credit was the high scorer of the games,
His dribbling and team work was also
exceptionally good. Vanstory ran him
a close second for scoring honors with
seven points. Morris played a eood
game at' guard and also rung up a field
goal. .
For the young Dukes, Weaver and
Bennett were the big noises, and a large
part of the credit for the downfall nf
Coach Shepherd's men goes to theni.
Ihey covered the floor well and Weaver
tossed the ball through the hoop for 7
points while Bennett came through with
four markers. Hartness also played a
good' game and tied Weaver for team
high scorer with seven points.

Just now the work is being confined
to the drilling of the fundamentals and
teaching of individuals rather than mak
ing any attempt at teamwork. Instruc

offense is being given the line men, while
the backs are practicing running and
passing the ball. , "
Coach Bob has not announced when
scrimmages will be held, other than to
say that the actual combat will take
place before the winter practice is drawn
to a close. He has not ceased his work
because of the bad: weather, but on davs
when the field is in too bad a condition
for practice he holds skull practice in

Basketball is keeping some of last

men attending practice are from the
freshman and second teams. Captain
Mclver is on hand and is assisting Coach
Bob in training the line men. Coaches
Pritchard and Lowe are also aiding in
the work. Lowe has charge of the back

other, one for the state, it was pointed
out The report emphasized that each
needs the cooperation of the other, and
if the state," the community, and private
airencies and individuals could sain that
cooperation ' and recognition of mutual
responsibilities a large problem could
be satisfactorily settled. .
It was asserted, for instance, that "one
of the most pressing state problems is
its treatment of the tubercular. There
are more than 30,000 open, pronounced
ases in North Carolina, and the number
of undetected incipient cases is many
times more. - Is it possible to imagine
one, two, six. or even ten state institu
tions that could serve as curing stations
for this large number of tubercular pa
tients? Instead of the impossible and
impractical idea of making the state
sanatorium large enough to cure 30,000
patients, is it not more sensible to muke
it. just. large enough to be a demonstra
ment and care a model for local public
organization and expert methods of treat-
tion center of proper eauipment. proper
rhospitals, settjng realizable standards for
local : efforts a state-wide agency of
health education in the prevention and
cure of tuberculosis? Let each county
rich ' enough to do it establish its own
tuberculosis hospital, as two or three
such counties have already done, or two
or three poorer counties in cooperation,
as is now being proposed in two or three
regions of the state, all modeled on the
central state sanltorium, and alt directed
and Inspected by . the state sanatorium
staff".-:..' v ' '.
Regarding the treatment 'of criminals,
Miss Branson recommended the Inaugu
ration of; a plan in North Carolina by
which the convicted law-breakers of the
state could be treated in open-air farm
colonies on a self-supporting basis.
Then, she said, the financial burdens of
the law abiding would be less, the chances
of restoration , greater-that' is, under
proper management, and the restoration
of prisoners to decent citizenship greatly
increased. The plan calls for separate
state farms for each sex and each race,
for misdemeanants as well as felonv
convicts; and A proper classification of
offenders in each colony. . It is the plan
that is being successfully carried out In
the state of Indiana.
Regarding education, Miss Branson
said: "There cannot be equalization of
the school fund until there is an equaliza
tion of taxables throughout the state".
"In one -essential matter of public edu
cation North Carolina is pursuing what
in my opinion is a doubtful policy, name
ly, the centralized control of educational
machinery. Thus the state appoints the
county school boards and in turn these
boards appoint the county school super
intendents and with the school boards the
county superintendents appoint the teach
ers. The result is state autocracy in ele
mentary schools, county high schools, and
teacher training schools .

time, the name may be turned over to

sary suspension. ,
In case of a second offense on the cart
of the same student, it is reported to the
Student Council for disciplinary action.
Since this system was inaugurated in
the fall, two boys have been suspended
from school and several others placed
on strict probation for periods varying
according to the seriousness of the de
meanor.
All the checks which have been re
turned have been made good so that the
net loss is comparatively small. There
are some cases, however, when the stu
dent has left school before the notice
was received from the banks and the
Dean of Student's office was not able to

but in each instance a notice was sent
to his home address and a response us
ually received. .
There Is a law in force In the taS
which makes it a misdemeanor to write
a check for which there are insufficient
funds and it is the purpose of Univer
sity authorities to adhere strictly to this
law so that men will not be turned out
into the state who have been accustomed
to treat the law lightly, and with little
concern.
