NAVY BAND TO GIVE
TWO CONCERTS TODAY
IN MEMORIAL HALL
(Continued from fag on)
to have this selection on the program
when the organization plays here tonight
and this afternoon.
t The opening is an Introduction bring
ing in "The Dawn". The ship's beu
striking four times; it is six
o'clock in the morning. The bugler blows
K.mA which l immediately fol
lowed by that popular number of the
service man, "Oh, How I Hate to Get
Un in the Morning." After morning
coffee, the bo'sun's mate pipes
hands -up. anchor," and the band strikes
un "Sailinn." Then the trumpeter
.sounds "general quarters." The band
strikes "Fire Music from the Walkure,"
the music depicting the men running to
their battle stations. The music stops
nianissimo chord and the
trumpeters blow "Commence Firing,
The band plays a . spirited movement,
finishimt with the bells and buwers giv
ing the signals to the turrets to fire the
salvos and the drums and tympani give
an excellent imitation of the booming of
the guns.- ,
A short interlude of four bars is
played by the horns and then come the
fnnr "Ruffles and Flourishes," immeai-
ately followed by the "Admlral'i
March." After the Admiral is aboard
and has received all his honors, and the
bo'sun's mate pipes "All Hands Bring
Ship to Anchor." Then comes "Lay
Aft the Liberty Party," which tells that
the men allowed passes are going ashore.
As the ship is supposed to be anchored
off Havana, the strains of "La Paloma"
are next heard, followed by a short alle
gro movement depicting the men break
ing ranks and starting out to see the
sights. , . '
Later, the men are returning to their
ship and. the buglers sound "The Col
ors." The boatswain's whistle is again
heard as he pipes ASl hands lay aft
. for the moving pictures," and the band
plays the 1 popular number, "The Cov
ered Wagon." The show over, the same
whistle quiets the merry gobs
plays the signal "All hands turn in
hammocks and keep silence about the
deck." The "Tattoo" is sounded by the
buglers, the ship's bell" strikes "two
bells," and the day is nearing its close.
Then the bugle pierces the hushed at
mosphere with he weird "Taps," the
band joining him in the grand finale.
It is said that those who have served
in the Navy can be easily identified by
their nervousness as " the first shrill
blast of the boatswain's whistle is beard,
so realistic and remindful is the music
of the band.
The Band's success may be traced
largely to the efforts of one man. This,
man is Lieutenant Charles Benter, U.
S. N., Bandmaster. He was called upon
to guide itg . destinies when the. Govern
ment first decided that a permanent,
nationally known Navy Band, to be
stationed in the Capital, was necessary.
Although only thirty-six years old, but
with, a long record of notable achieve
ment behind him, Lieutenant ' Benter
threw himself heart and soul into the
task of building np an organization that
would become all his superiors desired.
But hi looked higher than they dreamed
of "The Navy Band" known and
prmied from end to end of the Nation.
-Theu' he made his dreams come true.
' His success was recognized by Congress
in an Act approved March i, 1925,
when the Band was formally authorized
as a permanent fixture in the Capital
and Band Master - Benter was named
Lieutenant, Senior Grade, U. S. N. ;
There probably is some incident in
every man's life which in retrospect ap
pears very humorous but at the time
of its occurrence bore all the earmarks
of tragedy. There is one such' in the
past of Lieut Benter.
In Benter's "case he was nearly
knocked galley-west by oranges not
bullets, although there were a few of
those flying around indiscriminately at
the time. This is the way Benter told
the story.
Soon after I was assigned to my
first cruising ship, the Paducah, it was
ordered to Santo Domingo to assist the
American authorities in restoring order
during one of their periodical revolu
tions down there. A small detail was
sent ashore to get an interview with the
rebel leader, encamped in the hills sev
eral miles up the coast A flag of truce,
sole protection of the party, was intrust
ed to my care. I was only sixteen then,
and I thrilled with the ' importance of
the part I was to play, -..-.
We followed a narrow trail into the
hills, going single file. I was bringing
up me rear. It was hot and tiresome
and as we passed some orange trees,
my mouth watered for the fruit I guess
I must have lagged behind a bit for I
had just spotted a tree burdened with
particularly , fine looking oranges when
a turn of the trail hid my companions.
Couldn't I get some of those oranges?
I could. I did. I filled my pockets,
then took off my overshirt, tied up the
sleeves and filled that Then I picked
up my flag of truce and started after
my companions. I followed the nar
row trail for a while but did not meet
up with them. ' There was a fork in the
pathj there was no way to tell which
way my party had gone. I was lost
"I had started floundering up one
trail when I was startled by the sound
of shooting. It increased in intensity.
Bullets began to sing overhead. Con
sternation seized me as I realized I had
the flag of truce. I was sure the land
ing party was being annihilated, all
due to my stopping for oranges. I be
gan running and a few minutes later
burst into a, little clearing and. Almost
fell at the feet of our commanding offi
cer. He began to laugh and so did the
others. Then . I recalled the oranges
and my rack of shirt
"As it so happened that the firing
was being done by Federal troops and
was directed at the rebels and not us,
my dereliction was passed over with
reprimand from the. officer. But it was
a long time before my comrads aboard
ship let me .forget that heart-breaking
race up a steep jungle path, burdened
with a sack of oranges I did not have
sense enough to throw away."
Mr. , Radcliff, business -, manager of
the band, has made the following state
ment . concerning the personnel of the
famous organization: '
"The Navy : Band personnel is Inde
pendent of influence. Any one desir
ing to become a recruit can get a hear
ing. If he can qualify as a musician
and give a good account of himself as
man of moral responsibility he is
acceptable, if a vacancy is there, and no
amount of recommendation from nation
al statesmen or local officials could en
hance his prospects.' He is there on
his merits and must go forward on them
without hope of help or fear of hind
rance by outside .interference." The op
portunities to become soloists are pre
sent, but they are opportunities for
study, practice and performance with
no prospect that advertising can be
made to take the place of genuine ar
tistry in the establishment of a career."!

trouble last year n regard to the eligi
bility of some of the contestants, these
rules have beeij made especially strict
will be remembered that last year
there were players on the teams of both
Shelby and Rockingham whose eligibili
ty was questioned. It is- hoped to avoid

In order to play with a team a player
must have passed a majority of his
work and been in attendance at that
school at least 60 per cent of the time
during the preceeding term. If he went
to another school in the same county
during 1924-1925 these rules apply to
the entire year. Ordinarily a student's
parents must have been residents of his
school district since August 1, 1925 for
him to be eligible. In case they are not
residents of the district, but live in
North Carolina the player must have
passed a majority of his work and been
in attendance 75 per cent of the entire
preceeding year.
In the cast of students whose' parents
are not resident in the state the player
must not 4nly have passed a majority
of his work and been in attendance 75
per cent of the year 1924-1925, but in
addition must have been in attendance
that school at least forty school days
during 1923-1924 and forty school days
during 1922-1923. The old rules, such
the 21-year age limit and the ama
teur rule, are, practically unchanged. .
As usual, the final contest between
the champions of the east and the cham
pions of the west will be played on
Emerson Field. The winners since the
institution of the contest are as follows:

his students with a multigraphed outline
of these rules, by memorizing which the
more receptive of his students received
passing grades in the final examination,
which was highly logical of them, and
showed that they tyad not , taken
course in vain. ' :. ,
English 72. According to the catalog
of courses, English 72 deals with the
Romantic Movement in English Poetry,
the most fascinating period In English
Literature except for the Elizabethan
outburst. .But the catalog states mere
ly that the course is conducted by Pro
fessor Lowes. If Harvard has a single
great teacher today, that teacher is Pro
fessor Lowes. The average Harvard pro
fessor,, has plenty of erudition, knows it,
and is glad to show it j but there is also
the professor who has plenty of erudi
tion, knows it, and is eager to acquire
more. Professor . Lowes, being a great
teacher, combines i the qualities, but to
the submergence of the first After
month in any of the courses the student
suddenly begins to realize that he is not
being conducted through a mirrored gal
lery of facts, but that he is being led into
a mysterious country in search of intel
lectual adventure. In English 72 Pro
fessor Lowes is at his best . No more
need be said.
French 3, a course in elementary com
position, is virtually a course in appre
ciation. In a class of men, practically
all of whom have studied French since
childhood, the absurdity of prolonging
beyond the first week all the rigmarole
of elementary grammar is patent The
course therefore resolve's itself into the
appreciation of the gems which fall from
the mouth of the' instructor. As appre
ciation of these gems will lead to further
gems, hence further reprieve from work,
each sally on the part'of , the instructor
meets with instantaneous success.'
By allowing men who .have any pro
ficiency in French to enter French S,
the course loses nearly all its value. It
immediately strikes a plane well below
the abilities of those .-who know French
and considerably above the comprehen
sion of those who do not. ..' i . . ,
Engliih: , . . , But one cannot help
feeling that Professor Hurlbut would be
a better guide to his students if he lived
less in the literary past. While it is
greatly to his credit that he should
profess an admiration for the works of
Jane Austen and the 18th century au
thors, it is less to his credit as ah in
structor that He should at the same
time proclaim so complete an ignorance
of Michael Arlen and his ilk, if only
for the sake of pointing out ' the ab
surdities of these scriveners to his
pupils. The Neie Student.

the games, and has been one of the bul
warks of the team on the defense.
AU of the line men deserve honorable
mention for their work thus far. Dod
derer, McMurray, Morehead, and Whis-
nant are playing their first season as
regulars, and playing like veterans.
Braswell, an end of last year, seems to
fit in the guard position that he is hold
ing down this season. Captain Mclver
is playing his usual heady game at the
pivot position.
George . Robinson, ' making his first
stab at a tackle assignment, has been
outstanding in every game on the sche
dule so far; He seems to be headed for
an All-Southern berth at tackle. If he
plays up to his usual standard against
Mercer it will go a long way toward
giving him the place . on the mythical
eleven. ..
Carolina's offense has been showing a
variety and drive in the last two games
that goes to make up a well-balanced
team. - One thing is sure: The Mercer-
ites will know that they have been in a
game when the Tar Heels finish with
them.

makes a move until he gets divine
sanction. Furthermore, he has become
a sort of hero now and would be
wonderful drawing card for the Metho
dist school.
Then we could pass laws to enforce
our views. There is no sense in trying
to teach people or persuade them to be
lieve like we do when we can do it in
a brief spell by legislation. We legis
lated the country , sober and there is
no reason why it should not be ; made
religious in the same way. But let it
be understood that a man can not be
a Christian unless he has the right sort
of opinions. He may be as brave as
the great Bruce, as pure as Sir Gala
had and as tender as Christ Jesus, but
unless he subscribes to the fundamen
talist creed from alpha to omega, from
A to izzard. he is a nnhlirnn and a
sinner, a son of Belial, hotfooting the
road to hell.
It behooves us, therefore, to elect the
the right sort of men to office. Here
after when a man casts his sombrero
into the political.ring and asks for the
suffrage of our regenerate citizenship,
let us submit to him the following questionnaire:''
1. Do you .believe the Genesis account
of creation? ".
2.t Do you believe the sun stood still
at the command of Joshua? k
3. Do you believe the story of Jo
nah and the Whale?
4. Do you believe the story of the
flood as related in the Bible? V -
5. Do you subscribe to the sentiments
contained in the story of the she bears
and the children' who laughed at a bald-.
headed prophet? "
6. Do you believe in hell, hangine
ana calomel? v
7. Do you hate Darwin and Darrow?
8. Do you believe that BUly Sunday
ana JSvangelist Ham are inspired?
9. Will you use the powef' of your
office, if elected, to drive evolution and
all this other monkey business out of
the schools? ,
If any of the other brethren think of
any questions that should be added to
this list in order to insure an 'orthodox
administration of the country's affairs,
let them speak out, for these be parlous

It is safe to say that failure to guide and direct study Is the weak
point in the whole educational machine. Prof. G. M. Whipple, U. of
Michigan. ..
"The successful men in college do not seem to be very happy. Most
of them, especially the athletes are overworked." Prof. H. S. Canby,
iale.
"Misdirected labor, though honest and well intentioned may lead to
naught Among the most important things for the student to learn is
how to study. Without knowledge of this his labor may be largely in
vam." Prof. G. F. Swain, M.I.T. , . V
."To students who have never learnt 'How to Study, work is very
often a chastisement a flagellation, and an insuperable obstacle to con
tentment." Prof. A. Ingilis, Harvard.
