M. C. A. Ave in the opening game of the 1926 season. , The Tar Heels have been showing great early season form In their workouts this Week and should hand the former college stars who wear the Bull riiv uniform a licking. However the "Y" tossers always put up a game fight and give their opponents no interesting night. Opposing Captain Dodderer tonight will be "Sis" Perry, Carolina star of four years ago, who starred at forward on the Tar Heel team that brought the first southern title back to the "Hill in 1922. Another . man who starred in college ranks in this state who will wear a Durham uniform is "Brick" Starling, old Trinity player. Just what the line-up that will start the game for Carolina will be is un known, but Captain Dodderer will be at his old place at -center, and . "Spratt" Cobb and Billy Devin will be at their old jobs at forward and guard. Bobby Sides will probably get the first call to pair with Cobb at forward, and Bunn Hackney, football star, may start at Purser's guard position.

This particular recital will bring to Chapel Hill an artist of widely proclaimed ability. Since her formal debut as a harpist three years ago, Miss Riggs has had a string of triumphs which are indicative of a brilliant career Her beauty and personal charm, with her rare ability, have united to win fo her an enviable reputation among the best critics of the art. Says the Wash hurt on Times: "Katherine Riggs, Wash ington harpist, gave delightfully the Fountain of llavel, her tone being fill some and her techique suave and most musical. Miss Riggs is a charming pic ture at the harp, quite visualizing the spirit of the Romance of Hasselman, which she played with breadth of style." This is tlie noted artist's fifth South ern tour. Two years ago she gave a con cert here which was highly appreciated by many music-lovers who have been disappointed by her inability to include Chapel Hill in her more recent schedules. George Deland, organist and instructor of Cornell University's Department of Music, further testifies to Miss Riggs popularity with: "To me, it was as de lightful harp playing as I have ever had the pleasure of listening to." Many other glowing tributes have been paid. to the winsome harpist during her com paratively short career ,as an artist :an Northern cities. Music, lovers are in deed foi-tunate to have the opportunity of attending this concert presented by the University. The public is cordially invited.

WILL MEET THREE DAYS ( Continued on page four) Newspaper Institute To Bring Many Alumni Here The Newspaper Institute, to be held at the University of North Carolina next week, under the auspices of the North Carolina Press Association and the Uni versity, will return to . Chapel Hill a great number of alumni who have achieved notable success in the newspaper and magazine world. It will be an oc casion for a general reunion of alumnf journalists. A large number of men have entered the field "of journalism from this Uni versity, and most of them have attained no mean degree of success. , The ma jority of them received their start as re porters and contributors to the Tar Heel, and Carolina Magazine.' Their positions range from the largest dailies in the country to the live weeklies in the state, The career of these men have scat tered them to all corners of the earth. Ralph. H. Graves, '97, is in New York as syndicate editor for Doubleday, Page and Company, the well known publish ers, tie was lormeny city euitor oi tne yeio York Evening Post and the New York Times, and Sunday editor of the Timet, and more "recently managing ed itor of World' Work. . Mr. Graves got his opportunity in the metropolitan field, while taking graduate work at Columbia, as the result of ingenuity in. covering a Jersey fire. He chartered a motor boat and beat all other reporters to the fire, thus enabling the Times, to "scoop" the other papers with a street edition. There is also in New York Charles P. Russell, 'H, who is now a free lance writer. Mr. Russell got his start with the Tar Heel, and went from the Char lotte Observer to New York where he was at one time city editor of the Philadelphia Bulletin, and assistant Sun day r editor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger. He returned last fall from England where he spent three years writ ing for newspapers and magazines, and is now back In New York doing free lance work. ... Others who have achieved success In the New York field include Victor L. Stephenson, 'Ofi, formerly of the Char lotte Observer, later with the New York Evening Post, and now engaged in finan cial writing; Quincey Sharpe Mills, '07, who before he died in action in the world war was a brilliant editorial writer on the Evening Sun; Thomas C. Linn, Jr., '16, now member of the reportorial staff Coates, of the University Law School, Mr. Coates lectured before audiences in Charlotte, Selma, and Gastonia on the subject of the "University Under Fire" and in all cases was received with welcome..

The main purpose of the conference is, first, to get these groups thoroughly acquainted with the University inside and out and, second, to have them ar rive; at a common basis of understand ing in regard to the future program of the University and relationship of alum ni to that program. ! To Keep Alumni Informed "The experiences of the past have shon that too few alumni have kept themselves intelligently informed about the ; University,", Secretary Grant said today. "Those who from time to time have made It a point to inform them selves have been amazed at how little, relatively speaking, they did know about their Alma Mater. Many did not know . what attitude to take, for instance, when the evolution controversy and the Duke gift, were holding the limelight recently. , ; ' A Laboratory Course 1L . ... ... . ' ao ine purpose or tins conference is to bring these groups back to the Hill and. have them learn the University through personal conferences with fac ulty members and students. It will be in a way a laboratory course on the Uni versity. The different departments will hav on hand their exhibits and repre- ' sentntives and discussions will be made as informal as practicable "Such alumni conferences should be held at regular intervals, even though th eUniversity be in the best of health, for ;they are predicated on the realiza tion that alumni must exercise a con--tinuing Influence' in order to assure the University a well-rounded growth. There may be needed, in addition, speciul meet ings, to care for certain emergencies."
