IS CONNECTING LINK Committee of 100 with 50 Members Will Connect the University with State and Alumni.' The Committee of 100, a new student organization, made its first bow. to the campus i chapel period ; Monday, "'March 2, when Dr. H. W. Chase and W. T. Couch explained thcpurpose of the Com mittee and the need which it fulfills, With the growth of the University there has been a constantly increasing demand for understanding on the part of the student toward the University," toward the alumni, and toward the outside state, The Committee of 100 wishes to organ ize these relationships and make them more effective. ' It is different from any other campus organization in that lt main interest is off the Hill; it Is con cerned with problems outside the student body. Dr. Chasereferred to the organization as one of the most significant student movements in the recent history of the University. "As the University gets larger," he "explained, ''it becomes wore difficult to understand what everything is all about The Tab Heel carries the campus news and it is supplemented by the Magazine, but there is need for an understanding based on a systematic study of the University, The Committee of 100 is attempting this yery thing by arranging a series of lecture courses for its members to be given by the heads of the various departments and schools of the University. "It is but a step from student to alum nus," continued Dr. Chase, "and alumni interest and understanding of the Uni versity is precious to the institution. If alumni are going to keep in touch they have got to understand the task and na ture of the problems here. Many alumni here a generation ago think the Univer sity is the same as before except that it is bigger. This is not true. -"When you go out into the state aren't you going to be helped if you have stud' ied the University from a student's point of view?" he asked. "Let me give you an illustration. Take the graduate school. It is one of tle most rapidly growing and (Continued on page four) END HIGH SCHOOL SERIES SATURDAY Championship Game in Tin Can At 7:30. 107 SCHOOLS ENTERED Durham and New Bern Play Here On Thursday.

' SEATS ARE GOING FAST FOR SARG'S LATEST PUPPETS Popular Marionettes Give "Treasure Island" and "Pied Piper' Here Next Saturday. MATINEE AND NIGHT George Denny Reports That Reserved - Section of Seats Is Having Big Advance Sale. - Tony Sarg's Marionettes, held by many to be the best professional treat of the year, will appear in Memorial Hall Sat urday, March 7, in brand new produc tions of two famous classics, Treasure Island and the Pied Piper of Hamelin, So many requests have been pouring into the Playmaker office via letter or phone in the last few days, that a large section of the reserved seats has already been set aside, and it is expected that in a day pr-two more the reserved seats will be sold out. For four consecutive seasons the Marl onettes have been in such demand that, while frftm 300 to 400 audiences have en joyed them annually, ajt least an equal number of cities have asked for them in vain. Mr. Oeorge Denny, who has taken charge of booking the -Marionettes in North Carolina, states? that there have been more resquests : for performances than can be accepted.'. Besides their per formance here; the Marionettes will play in Statesville, ; Lexington, $ Greensboro, Fayetteville, and Red Springs. Both of the plays which will be pre sented Saturday offer splendid oppor tunities for the display of cleverness 1n the art of staging a puppet show, and Mr. Sarg has improved these opportuni ties' tck the utmost Clevtfrly-managed acting, well-sung musical selections, and ingenious scenic effects vie withone an other in producing superlative entertain ment. One of the most attractive parts of the performance is the scene in which the Hornpipe is danced to a clever musi cal accompaniment. This dance is so complicated and difficult that it requires - . .. ... . lour puppeteers ror us renaition; twenty-six different strings are used in exe cuting the various steps, contortions, and grimaces. The following excerpt from the Mil waukee, Wisconsin, Sentinel is descrip tive of the intensely interesting nature of the Marionette performances: "You don't have, to be in either your first or your . second childhood to enjoy Tony ( Continued on page four) THREATENED WITH LOSS THREE HEADS Henderson, Greenlaw and Snell Are Involved. ALL THREE MAY GO University Men Have Very Flattering Offers. Three heads of University departments are considering leaving here, according to a confirmed report. Dr. Archibald Henderson, head of the department of mathematics, is considering an offer to become president of the University of Oklahoma, while Dr. Edwin. Greenlaw and Mr. Chester D. Snell also have flat tering offers under consideration.7 Dr. Greenlaw has been a member of the fac ulty since 1912 and dean of the gradu ate school since 1920. Mr. Snell has been director of the extension division for the last five years. Announcement of Dr. Henderson's de cision probably will not be made prior to the meeting of the board of trustees of Oklahoma university when the offer will be tendered formally. It is under stood, however, , that Dr. Greenlaw and Mr. Snell must make up their minds in the next few days. Dr. Greenlaw has been offered an im portant fclace in the new program that Johns Hopkins University has under way in connection with its plan to make that institution the only one in the coun try where only graduate work is given. It is understood that he has been offered a salary considerably larger than what he , gets here,: together with elaborate equipment for research work, the field in which he is most interested. ? Mr. Snell's offer is equally flattering. It comes from the University of Wiscon sin, which would make him dean of the extension division in place of Louis Ke ber, who is retiring He has beerr prof fered a salary approximately twice that he Is receiving here and a budget of half a million dollars a year, more than six imes that available here. The hope is being expressed on nil sides, in the University community that all three of these men will decide to re main in North Carolina. The University feels flattered that larger institutions should see fit to call its leaders, but, on the other hand, it feels it could ill afford to spare them. TWO GALLAGHERS SAVE UNIVERSITY Pat and Tom Outpoint Their Opponents. CAVALIERS WIN 5 TO 2 No Knock-Outs in Bout With Vir ginia' Team. The Tar .Heel boxers were defeated by, the University of Virginia last Sat urday night; the Cavaliers winning out in all the classes , except the bantam wight and lightweight, in which the Gal lagher brothers, Pat and : Tom, out pointed Maverick and Farrow, of Virginia,..- . . The meet was closer than the score would . indicate. In the featherweight event, McPherson, of Carolina, put up a game fight against Memminger, who had this year defeated the Intercollegiate champion in his class, while Spiers, of Carolina, forced York to show his wares to win the verdict in the welterweight class. In his final appearance as a member pf the Virginia team, Captain Leftwich registered a decisive victory over Cap tain Warren, winning out by his super ior work on both offensive and defen sive. . ' .. i The heavyweight match proved the most spirited of the meet. Fink, of Virginia, outpointed Donnahoe and was awarded the decision after an extra round. ' 1 An added event, which did not count in the scoring, was the flyweight match between Ward, .Virginia varsity, and "Shortjr" Jajrell, Carolina freshman. Referee Mabbutt, U. S. army, declared it a draw at the end of an extra round. The summary: . ' Flyweight Draw between' Ward, Vir ginia, and Jarrell, Carolina, at end of fourth round.' Bantamweight Pat Gallagher, Caro lina, awarded decision over Maverick, Virginia. Featherweight Memminger, Virginia,"! won decision over McPherson, Carolina. Lightweight Tom Gallagher, Caro lina, won decision over Farrow," Virginia. Welterweight York, Virginia, won decision over Spiers, Carolina.

Light-heavy Captain Leftwich, Vir ginia, won decision over Captain Warren, Carolina. , Heavyweight Fink, Virginia, won de cision over Donnahoe, Carolina. SWARTHMORE AND CAROLINA DEBATE Second Open Forum Debate This Year. RECOGNITION v OF RUSSIA Huggins and Livingstone Represent the University. ( The United States' position in regard to the recognition of Russia was as vio lently attacked as it was firmly upheld in the Oxford Union debate between Car olina and Swarthmore in Gerrard hall Monday night. Leonard V. Huggins, representing Carolina, and John Donal of Swarthmore advanced the affirmative of the query: Betolved That the United States should recognize the soviet govern ment of Russia. Robert F. ,Lee of Swarthmore and Ted Livingstone of Car olina defended the negative of the ques tion; . A vote of the audience taken just prior to the debate gave the vote on the query as 18 for and 6 against. When the speak ers had finished, the chairman called for a vote which resulted in 13 expressing themselves for and 7 against the pro posal. ':. ( . : Huggins opened the discussion for the affirmative and was followed by Lee for the negative. Then Donal and Living stone followed in order,'; Huggins closed the discussion. After the second speech of Huggins the audience was given the opportunity to question the debaters on any points taken up. After several spir- ited rounds of questions and answers the final vote of the audience was taken. The affirmative advanced the argument that the soviet government of Russia is the best form of government for Russia at the present, and that it is permanent in that it is flexible and changeable. It was also pointed out that the Russian government was at a crisis which the United States could turn foK the better if she would lend her aid to Russia by recognition, The negative repudiated these contentions and claimed that the Russian government was not worthy of recognition by the United States since such recognition by England, France, and other nations had failed to bring de sirable results. The negative also claimed that it was Russia's duty to recognize her debts to the United States first. FITCH GIVES VERY ELEGANT READING Program Composed of Irish ' Folk-Plays. ALSO SINGS A SONG Fitch Weil-Known for His Dramatic . Ability. : 'A Theodore Fitch, of the' Music Depart ment of the University, gave a delight ful reading on Sunday evening in Ger- rard Hall before quite a large audience; Mr. Fitch is" well known 'to the Uni versity for his dramatic ability; having performed iriy "Yes, By! Gosh" this year and last May having taken the leading role in the outdoor performance, of "Prunella" in the .Forest Theatre. Mr. Fitch's program was composed of two Irish folk-plays ; which . he noted were of special interest because -of the relation of the Irish Theatre to such movements as the Carolina Playmakers. The plays . made a well-balanced program,- being ; "Spreading the , News", a light and brilliant comedy by Lady Greg ory, and "A Night at an Inn", an excit ing melodrama byLord Dunsany. Mr. jnten s : Clear aicnon ana clever characterizations of the folk characters iii the comedy made the rendition of the play popular and well received. Par ticularly clear were the deaf old apple vender and her contemporary, Bartley Fallon, King of Pessimism. Incidentally in this play, Mr. Fitch was. required to sing an Irish folk-song, Which was rendered with charactristic ease and ability. The play itself is a delightfully night piece, centering about a .common failing of mankind love of gossip, and it was given with distinct ability. The i second play, Dunsany's melo drama, combines a "delapidated English gentleman, three 'able seamen," .three priests of India, and a statue of their god".'' Mr. Fitch created an atmosphere of tension and excitement, managing to give the effect of long waits, while in reality maintaining tempo. : His char acterizations in this piece were consist ent, though Mr. Fitch's ability was not fully .exploited. ! Perhaps his ; activities in "Yes, By Gosh", and in the Glee Club's performance in Greensboro the day. be fore explain this. The characters of the three' sailors were hot entirely distinct, and the diction of the three was too much like that of the precise and polished "Toffy". But altogther the evening's program furnished delightful entertainment and added another feat to Mr. Fitch's versa' tile record. ; DI MINSTREL FIXED FOR MAY 1 AND 2 1 - . Another Home Talent Produc tion for This Season. KYSER IS THE DIRECTOR Will Be a Combination of a Revue and Minstrel. For the first time in the history of Chapel Hill, a combined minstrel and revue will be given here under the aus pices of the Di Senate on the evenings of April 1 and 2.

Locals will be given the opportunity to see the "old home town" talent strut its stuff, as well as acts by professionals who rank extremely high, wjio have been, booked for the perform ance by its director, Mr. Kike Kyser. Six specialty acts, with a fifty min ute minstrel "first part" to sap the pro gram is a part of the composition of the show. Of the. three specialty acts, three will be professional. The management considers itself very fortunate in having booked these acts, ' all three of which have played on Keith, Orpheum, Del- monte, and Pantages circuits throughout the United States. " Each one of these acts carry their own special scenery and lighting fixtures, and each values its property at over $1,400. The other three acts, or specialties, will be presented entirely with campus talent. ; The cream , of . the campus has been chosen, and a month's stead prac tice is to be devoted to them so as' to make them measure up to professional calibre. Eighteen end-men, sixteen circle-men, and an interlocutor will make up the circle scene, which is to be one of the most sumptuous ever attempted on this campus. The act will be crammed full of jokes, songs o the faculty, students, campus celebrities, and prominent fig ures over the campus. Dazzling col ored costumes will play their part in en hancing the splendor of the act. Lead ing parts will b taken by campus char acters. George Denny, veteran playr maker, will don a , white satin Tuxedo and assume the difficult role of inter locutor. ., .

Local Fraternity Will Petition Delta Upsilon Sigma, Delta .has been granted permis sion to petition Delta Upsilon fraternity by the national officers of that organiza tion, according to correspondence re ceived here recently. The local frater nity which was organized here last May, has been in toucht for some time ; with officials of Delta Upsilon, and the decis ion to petition this national was made when favorable indications of the nation al fraternity's attitude toward the estab lishment of a chapter at the, University was made evident. Delta Upsilon is an old line fraternity, having been founded in 1834 at Williams college. ; It has a total of ,49 chapters, Virginia being the southernmost institu tion at which a chapter is located. . The Virginia chapter was established In 1922. The organization of Delta Upsilon is dis tinctive in that it is a non-secret frater nity. Sigma Delta has a total of 16 members, two of whom are alumni. It also has five pledges. The petition to the national fraternity will be made up shortly, say members of the organization. WRESTLERS HAVE RATHER BAD TRIP Lose to V. M. I. and Washing ton and Lee. LACK INTEREST HERE Not Enough Men Out to Make Up Successful Team. The University wrestlers returned yes terday from Lexington, Va., where they met the V. M, I. matmen Saturday night and the Washington and Lee team on Monday. Both meets were dropped by the Carolinians, the match with the Cadets being lost 27-0 and the struggle with the Generals by a score of 21-8. Heafncr, U. N. C. scored a fall and Montsinger gained a time decision, giv ing Carolina a total of 8 points to her credit.

Referee, Zimmerman. :, With a team largely composed of second-string men, Carolina, though losing, put up a splendid battle against V. M. I. wrestlers " last Saturday night. " Two of the weights, 175 and unlimited, were forfeited to theCadeU because the Uni versity had no men available. With a ten-point handicap, the final score was 27-0. - - Often carrying the fight to the South Atlantic champions, the team demons trated that but for the inroads of flu and mumps, the Tar Heel . matmen would have given a good scoring account of themslves. Motsinger, not yet recovered from a ' severe attack of flu, threat ened at one time , to throw Wise, 129- pound ace of the Institute and actually, got two minutes' time on him. Wise later got four minutes and twenty sec onds, however,, and thus won on time. Morrison's fall came in the last ten sec ( Continued on page four) Score of COBB LEADING SCORER North Carolina's Defensive Work Holds Gedrgia Team to" 7 Points During First Half. FINAL WITH TULANE LAST NIGHT Big Green Wave from New Orleans and Cobb's Tar Heels Won Right to Meet for S. I. C. Championship. Georgia's Bulldogs, conquerors of Kentucky's Wildcats, proved no mutch for Carolina's Tar, Heels and were swept aside in the' semi-finals of the S. I. C. tournament Monday night ! by the overwhelming score df ' 40 to 19. The victory gave Carolina the right to meet Tulane last night. The Hillians led by Cobb with an in dividual score of fifteen points, showed a ' fast flying offensive that Roon ; had Georgia trailing pn the short end of the score. During the first half the Caro lina defensive worked so well that the Bulldogs were forced to content them selves with only seven points,- the result of three field goals and a foul throw. Purser started the scoring for the Tar Heels in the-opening moments of the contest and during the first half was the leading scorer, but with the opening of the second period ; Cobb and Devin stepped to the front and led the way In scoring. Devin played one of his best games of the season and with an indi vidual score of ten points was in sec ond place for game high scorer. Hugu ley, the - Georgia left guard, was the bright light for the losers. He tied with Purser in scoring with nine points. 1 The ,Tar Heels made only one substi tution, Poole going in for McDonald in the last half. Georgia made one suhsti tion, Forbes relieving Morton. Forbes played a fast game and tossed in two field goals. - Cobb's score of fifteen points 'enabled him to. hold his position as high scorer of the tournament over Henicati, Tulane forward, who scored eighteen points and pulled his total scoring up to 53, within four points ofCobb who lias a total of 67. , Cobb has participated in one niore game than Henican but during the first two contests that Carolina played wus removed as soon as the score had been (Continued on page four) GRAIL DANCE ON Moved Up to Allow Marion ettes Right of Way. THIRD WINTER DANCE Foot-Shaking Will Last From Nine 'Til One. The Grail dance that was announced for next Saturday night has been moved up to Friday night so that it would not conflict with the performances of Tony Sarg's Marionettes. , This change will enable the dancers to continue their en joyment beyond, the midnight hour, the hours of, the dance being from nine to one o'clock. This is the third Grail dance of the quarter and will, be the last one until after examinations. The two previous dances this quarter have been regarded as above the usual, and members of the Grail are hard at 'work to make Friday night's dance measure up to the stand ard set by the other two. The North State Eight will probably , furnish the music for the danders. Bynuin gymna sium will again be the scene of the af- fair, since there is no other floor avail able until warmer weather will enable dancing to be conducted in the Tin Can. Already announcements of the dunce have been mailed out to different or ganizations on the campus and girls have been invited. It is expected that a good sized crowd will attend in spile of the fact that it is Friday night, and that girls from nearby colleges will find it hard to get over for the evening. Grail men are making arrangements to take care of the crowd and insure good dancing. Announce Winners Latin Contest Soon Nine hundred students from 63 high schools are competing in the first state" wide Latin contest, according to E. R. Rankin, secretary of the contest comrn it tee, who has announced that all papers are in the hands of the committee and the winner wilLbe announced this week. ; The highest scorer will be awarded a trophy cup, given by the University ex tension division, while the several next highest will be given honorable mention.
