Inasmuch as a stejio grnpliiq report of the State debate is 'to be made for the University Debaters' Annual, local officials are anxious that a good showing be made. .The query, has been changed somewhat from that orig inally announced. .The Cummins-Vaile bill having been defeated in Congress, will not be debated. The query is: "Be s solved That all laws in the United States restricting the dissemination of birth control information should be re pealed."

The date for the preliminary for the Kentucky state tour has been set for Fri day night, May 8. Carolina on this tour will debate both sides of the query: "Re- tolved That Congress, by a two-thirds vote, should be empowered to override Supreme Court decisions declaring Con gressional acts unconstitutional." Two men will be sent from Carolina to debate against Berea collegej Centre college, and the University of Kentucky. The affirma tive will be upheld at Centre and Berea and the negative at Kentucky.

There were many more requests for the Playmakers In North Carolina this year than they could possibly fill. It is customary for the organization to take three tours within the state, but this year they made their first Southern tour in response to several previous invitations, playing in Charleston and Columbia, South Carolina, Atlanta, Macon and Sa vannah, Georgia and other important Southern points. Their program included three popular Carolina Folk-Plays, When Witchet Bide, by Elizabeth Lay; Fixin by Paul and Erma Green, and Oaiut and Gaius, Jr., by Lucy M. Cobb. Every where the North Carolinians were warm ly welcomed and in Atlanta, Ga., where they gave two performances under tne auspices of the Atlanta' Drama League, an organization c called "The Georgia Playmakers," was founded, avowedly taking, as its model, the Carolina my- makers.' , .

REPORTER TRIES HAND ON FLEECE Finds Task is Hopeless, as is Usual. ' FORDHAM SEEMS SURE Underwood, Jonas and Watt-Picked as Strong Favorites. By Lttct F. Lay After three months of research work and constant use of psychology in ob serving the actions of various members of the Golden Fleece, the Tar Heel re porter has finally approached the task assigned two months ago; namely, to pick a prospective line-up for 1 the Golden Fleece tapping on next , Monday night. The names written below are printed In fear and trembling; with due realization of the. fact that the real Fleece is picked by half a dozen men Who put their heads together and necessarily make conces sions to each other's opinions and nat urally the pick made by one person can hardly hope to be correct. ; - Therefore the Tar Heel reporter has chosen -five men that the Fleece cannot afford to overlook, and which should cer tainly be chosen for the honor on Monday evening. There is. no doubt . in the re porter's mind that the class of 1926 is full of many merf who "rate the Fleece" by character and achievement and the Fleece is having the usually difficult time in narrowing down the line-up and choos ing one man from several prominent in one activity. So naturally the Tar Heel reporter wishes immediately to accom pany the line-up with apologies for any mistakes which may come from the frail ty of the human judgment. No manVon the campus deserves the Fleece more than Jefferson Barnet Ford ham, president of the student body for next year, Phi Beta Kappa man, varsity man in football and track. There is no doubt as to his election to the honor.

Guest Artist Professor Weaver and His Club Highly Praised on Western Trip; , ' The University glee club, now the fam ous University of North Carolina Glee Club, will give its final concert of the present season in Memorial hall tonight at 8:30. Jerome Swinford, popular New York baritone, who appeared with the glee club in its local performance here earlier in the spring, will make his sec ond appearance here . tonight as guest artist A general admission of 75 cents is being charged with a lower student rate of 50 cents. ' The glee club only recently returned from a triumphant tour to Kansas City, where , it appeared before the National Music Supervisors' conference and sprung into national" prominence. In its work this year the glee club has entirely broken away from the usual type of college glee club program with which we have all been familiar the old-fash ioned mixture . of humorous quartets, stunts, and college comedy, mixed in with a limited amount of real glee club sing ing. In place of this, type of program the glee club now presents concerts made up entirely of choral work of the high est type, usually , with the assistance of a prominent guest artist. This type of program was used first by the Harvard glee club, under the direction of Dr. Archibald Davison, in 1919; the suc cess of the movement was immediately assured and since that time the Harvard glee club has sung all over the . United States and in many parts of Europe, and has been recognized by, music critics as one of the very finest choral organiza tions in the world. The institution is proud of the fact that its representatives here succeeded so well as' to have been ranked by many critics as the best college glee club in the country. . . On November 21, 1924, the glee club sang in Winston-Salem before the meet ing of the Southern Conference for Mu sic Education, which was composed of music teachers from the 13 southeastern states. This concert was reviewed in the highest terms by Mr. George W. Cartlan, director of music in New York city, and by Mr. J. W. Fay, director of music in Louisville, Ky.; over 80 personal letters were received by the director of the club, containing' the highest sort of praise for the work of the organization. Immediately after this concert an invi tation was received for the club to sing before the National Supervisors' confer ence in Kansas City. ' '' This invitation was accepted and the trip to Kansas City was made possible through the interest and generosity of Mrs. Caesar Cone, of Greensboro; Mr. James A. Gray, of Winston-Salem; Mr. and Mrs. John Sprurit.Hill, of Durham; Mrs. George Stephens, of "Asheville, and Mr. Leslie Weil of Goldsboro. Forty rften made the trip, a chartered pullman being engaged for the entire journey. A concert was sung fen route In Cincin nati, and three concerts were given in Asheville. . The success of these concerts was tre mendous. The, Kansas City Morning Times gave the club a splendid write-up, with the heading "Concert Thrills 7500." Many of the leading music critics of the country have praised this concert in the highest terms, in their letters and con versations with the director of the club, ranking it as "by far the best In , the country," "the finest singing I have' ever heard," "the most significant single con tribution to American music in the last 15 years." ; , The Cincinnati concert was, reviewed by the two leading music critics pt Cin cinnati. Mri Samuel T. Wilsor? wrote in the Commercial Tribune for Sunday, April 5th:. "Harvard no longer stands alone. From the other side of the Mason Dixon line came the glee club of the Uni versity of North Carolina and gave a Concert which shows that the leaven of six years ago has worked well, producing an organization worthy to stand beside that of Harvard. ; The concert given by the 40 'young men of the south proved to be one of the finest musical events of the season. This was one of the best choirs we have heard in years. The di rector, Paul John Weaver, has developed the club Into a sensitive and marvelous ly flexible instrument, capable of singing any music as it should be sung. The men know how to sing, and, above all, understand what they sing. As a result we were given a concert which remained on high plane of excellence and which presented several moments of absolute perfection. With Praetorius's "Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming," came the peak of the afternoon's achievement, f When one has said that the; performance of this music was flawless, there remains nothing more to say. By way of conclusion we may say that if the Harvard glee club has' found a rival in the North Carolina organization, Dr. Davison has found one in Mr. Weaver, who, after all, is mainly responsible for the merit of the choir." The club has been fortunate this year fn having' as its assistant driector, Mr. Theodore F. Fitch, of the University De partment of Music, whose beautiful tenor voice has added much to the effective ness of the concerts. , .

SEVEN CQLLEGES ENTER Local Track Probably Fastest In South ... . Atlantic. ' V With another victory to their credit, Coach Bob's cinder path artists are bend ing their efforts toward winning honors in. the State Championship meet which is to be' held ,on Emerson field Friday and Saturday of this week. This meet will bring 'into action the best track perform ers in the state. . , Colleges participating will be Carolina, N. C. State, Duke, Wake Forest, David son, Elon and probably Guilford. Each team will be allowed five entries in all events except the sprints. They will be cut to a smaller number because of crowded conditions and the necessity for so many heats. Advance dope points to a victory by the Tar Heel fliers. There is no corps of distance runners in the South that can equal the locals' array. It would not be surprising, doped on early season time, if Bell, Ranson, Buchanan, Purser, Good win, .and their mates should win three or more places in each of the long runs. They will be opposed by Mabry of Duke, Bailey of Wake Forest, and Wright of State. The'strength of the other oppon ents is unknown. ' "Cholly" Jonas, weather being favor able, should eclipse his own state record of 2 min. 4-10 sec. in the half mile. Par ker, Rhinehart, and Henley will hot take their opponents' dust unless the other collegians do near record time. Edwards, Teague, and McPherson will carry the Blue and White in the shorter distances, while Holt Moore may con tinue his record-breaking with opposi tion such as he will receive. C . State is going in the field events and will ive trouble. Davidson has been go ing well In South Carolina, but their ac tual ability is unknown. The local track Is perhaps the fastest in the South Atlan tic states and the track fans of the state can look forward to a real treat. The Freshman teams of the state will also match their ability in track perform ing. Preliminaries in all events except the mile and two milps will be held Fri day and finals on Saturday. Sigma Nu Fraternity House Is Completed Only the connection with the electric current stands jn the way of the occu pation of the new Sigma Nu fraternity bouse at the western end of Fraternity court off Columbia street. ' Designed in a modified scholastic co lonial style with a two-story portico sup ported on six Doric columns, this build ing, with its perapelted roof, exhibits the best traditions of old Salem colonial. The main building Is of brick laid Flem ing Bond and the two flanking wings are of wood. u ! Inside is a large assembly room 26x30 feet connecting with a library. 15x20 feet by double doors.

The Tar Heel track team registered its fifth consecutive victory for the season last Saturduy when the strong N. C. Stute team was defeated by the score of 79 1-2 to 46 1-2. The Tar Babies defeat ed the young Wolf Pack by the same score. , Moore ran his two greatest hurdle races of the ycor when he stepped the high hurdles in 15 2-10 seconds and the low hurdles In 24 1-10 seconds. The lat ter is a new southern record, and his time in the high timbers has been bet tered only once by a southern man. This was done at the Georgia Tech relays when Roy,, of Tulane, nosed Moore out and finished In 15 seconds flat. Edwards ran a pretty race in the 440 event. He took an early lead, but lost It on the back stretch to Byrum of State. By a splendid sprint on the straight away, Edwards was able to regain the lead and he crossed the mark ahead of Byrum. Byrum was the high point man of the meet, winning the 100 yard dsh, the 220, and second place In ' the 440, amassing a totul of 13 points. Bell ran another splendid race when he came within a fraction of a second of his mile record established in the V. P. I. meet. Jonas finished first in the 880, and was followed to the' tape by Parker, who showed last season form for the first tjme. A new state record was smashed when Pridgen, tof State, vaulted 11 ft. 7 In The Techmen were especially strong in the weight events, taking first places in the discus, shot put and javelin.
