Paae 4 THE TAR HEEL Saturday, February 20, 1Qq EXTENSION WORK IS GROWING WELL ALL OVER THE STATE Continued from page one) the University coffers to provide this sort of instruction. . But there are other types of ' class rooms, j! for there are the correspondence students who take their courses by mail and frequently never see their instruc tors unless they take tip residence Chapel Hill for the brief supplementary period that is required of those seeking a degree. Last year there were 1.432 of these correspondence folk. And, as in the case of the extension, students, the i location of their classroom matters lit tle. It may be a sitting-room or dinning room or perchance the kitchen In any of . the thousands of homes between Manteo and Murphy. Last Year's Enrollment Over 7,000 The University's total enrollment for the year 1925 was some over 7,000 in cluding the' 2,000 Summer School stu dents. There were some over 2,800 ex- tension students, as indicated above, and the remaining were in residents on the . University campus during the regular nine-month scholastic year. Mow and then some old grad is as tonished to learn that, unknown to him. University extension classes have been conducted right in his home town.. Last year there were 82 such classes held in : 59 different communities throughout the State, There were 1,432 correspondence students registered for a total of 2,309 , courses, 1,483 of which were completed during the year. This meant that total of 34,204 lesson assignments had to be corrected, and the work , fell upon the shoulders of 42 professors here in Chapel Hill which did it during their spare mo ments. :.",.' Big Growth In Extension Work The University's growth 'in extension work is bound to make one marvel. Five years ago there were just 41 stu dents enrolled in extension classes; to day there arc 1,406. Five years ago there were just 157 taking correspon dence courses; today ther are 1,432. Un til this year the increases each year has been by several hundreds, but many of the applications for enrollment had to be turned down this year owing to the "fact that the Extension Division volun teered a ten per cent cut in its budget in order to assist in relieving the em barrassment in resident - departments. And so the Division is now working un der a financial handicap, but, if figures mean anything, it is doing remarkably well with what funds it does have to operate on. . The per cent of self-support lias gradually risen from 17.2 per cent until the Division earns more than a dollar to go with each dollar allowed it by the University. During the last two years the Division has received a dimin . ishing proposition of University income. First in the South Its foundation having been laid with such care and thoroughness, the Uni versity of North Carolina was ready for the 6'awn of this new day. It was pe culiarly sehsative to the new change or trend in education. As early as 1880 we learn from Battle's History of the Unwersitt) of "President and Professors often making educational addresses throughout the Stale." The starting of the summer school in 1877, mainly for the teachers of the State was another Indication of this. The "Faculty Com mittee on Extension" was appointed in 1911 by President Venable with Dr. Mirns as chairman. ,- When Dr. Minis left for Vanderbilt in 1912, L. It. Wil son, whose effective work within the University had brougiit him to a posi tion of recognized leadership, was made chairman of this committee. In October, 1912, Dr. Wilson organized the "Bureau of Extension,'' as it was then - called. When Graham became president and with the coming in 1914 of Branson to the University faculty, the work of the Bureau of Extension was given added emphasis and the program of service en larged. Dr. Wilson First Director When Dr. L. R. Wilson, in addition to his duties as librarian, was made direc tor of the Bureau of Extension there were no funds available for the promo tion of the work. But somehow the work began to grow. Members of the faculty volunteered ;their services for lectures anywhere, in the State and bul letins contained information useful to the people were issued in The Record. Branson organized the North Carolina Club and proceeded to make economic and social studies of the Stat which were made public through the columns of the University : Newt Letter. .This serious and painstaking effort on the Part of Professor Branson and his' as sociates to dissect the life of the State and to explain weaknesses and points of strength to the people in terms that they could understand, perhaps more than any one program, caused the citizens of the State to feel that here was one in stitution ready and willing to work for the best Interest of the commonwealth. -In fact, nearly every member of the faculty came to understand this new trend in higher education and each de partment and instructor began to devise ways and means for making such in formation and materials as they posses e.d of immediate service to the people of the State. Now that the State had come to the support of the University it could, as a. public institution, do no less. The School of Education had al ways held the public point of view and under the leadership of Walker and Noble the services of the School to the public school system have been many and varied. The School of Medicine, under Dr. Manning's guidance, began the post-graduate . medical : extension courses, The newer schools of Com merce and Public Welfare, under the progressive leadership of Carroll and Od urn, have responded fully to the de mands of the State. The departments of History, English,' Mathematics, Botany, Chemistry, Music, and Psychology,, as well as the several engineering depart ments,- have always been ready when called upon. BUREAU OF APPOINTMENTS HELPING TO PLACE MEN The following stotcments have been mailed out to various colleges, prep schools, and secondary schools through out the South by the Bureau of Appoint ments of the University graduate school This year about four hundred and fifty tudents attended the Graduate School of the University of North Carolina. One hundred and thirty of them are can didates for the degree of A.M., M.S., or Ph.D. at the Commencement in June, 1926. .They go out-with the stamp of ap proval of the University upon them. Possibly you are in need of someone for your teaching staff next year. To bring together the applicant and the em ployer, the Graduate School operates a Bureau of Appointments. , If you will write us your needs, stating the type of teacher you want, salary offered, and any other special requirements, we shall be glad to nominate a candidate. TAR HEELS FALL BEFORE TECHMEN THURSDAY NIGHT FIRST YEAR MEN ARE ENTERTAINED (Continued from page one) (Continued from page one) ed to tally a single point - during the game, but he co-operated with the Ter ror guards in the defensive and floor work, and it was in a great measure due to his fast play in the middle of the court that the Carolina forwards failed to get started. While these men play ed the defensive end of the game Dick ens, Tech captain, was ringing the basket enough points to win the game without counting the scoring of his teammates. The game started off in rather slow manner, with neither team .able to get any offensive under way, and with the guarding of both outfits ususually close. Dickens started the scoring with a free throw, and Hackney countered immed iately with a- field basket at the end of a pretty passing streak. That put Caro lint out in front 21 to 1 to stay for several minutes, for no other scoring was done until exactly at the ten minute time the Terror captain again caged the leather from the floor. The lead see-sawed for the next few minutes, with neither team able to gain over one point ahead at any time dur ing the rest of that half. -State was leading 6 to 5 with only a minute to play before intermission when Bill Dodderer unfolded and loosed a pretty shot from distance. The pistol signaled half- time, and the Carolina supporters set tled back easier. The Tar " Heels has again led an opponent to the tape on the first semestre. The two quints came back for the final lap, and the crowd rose to greet the players on the last dash. It was soon seen that the Flying Phantoms wings were clipped or, lost, for after the half time they never threatened to any ser ious extent. "Sprodie" Cobb sunk one point from the foul line to make the game total of 8 points, while the State tossers gradually and relentlcssely roll ed up a bigger lead. Dickens scored three times from the floor and once from the foul mark In that half, and Brown, Spence and Wat- ins each tallied a two-pointer each. As the closing minutes drew on Coach San- burn tried to inject new pep into ' the ar Heels, but the Tech guards clamped down on every attempt to score, and the game ended with the Light Blue and White holding the smallest score ever made by a Carolina basketball team. The Carolina aggregation excelled the Red Terrors intheir passing in mid court, but they could not work with any consistency under the basket. Bunn Hackney played a fast floor game, and if there was a star on the Tar Heel five he gets the glory. For State the crown is divided between four men. Captain Dickens made more sure of his All-State berth by his play that night, while Gresham, McDowell and Watkins also shone forth in the Red and White con stellation.

After a brief introduction Mr.' Seville plunged Into his topic by stating that personally he though there was a good bit of hum-bug connected with the "Society of Scholars". He then proceeded to see how the members of the fraternity, both past and pres ent, measure up to Webster's definition President of the Chapter for the ensuing year. After Dr. Wilson had explained the of a scholar as "a learned person, one versed In any branch or many branches of knowledge, a person of thorough lit erary and scientific attainments1," Phi Beta Kappa was founded at Wil liam and Mary College on December fi, 1776. The original purpose was a se cret fraternal organization, the first Greek letter fraternity in the country It was considered as a, sort of club for undergraduates of distinction and abil ity. A chapter was established at Yale in 1780, at Harvard in 1778, and ; at Dartmouth in 1787. Within a short time many more chapters were organ ized. The local chapter was established in 1904. The Harvard chapter was lirst to abandon secret organization, and the others soon followed In its footsteps. The present constitution provides that the members shall be elected from the best scholars of the graduating class of the various colleges, from the graduates whose post-graduate work entitles them to. the honor, or from persons distin guished in letters, science, or education. In the majority of places the election of members is strictly democratic, a notable exception being the chapter at Harvard. At North Carolina election is automatic. : After having thus briefly reviewed the history of Phi Beta Kappa Mr, Seville showed that "Phi Beta Kappa commonly signifies merely the passing of a stated amount of collegiate work with high grades." ' However there are a few un- dergradutes that measure up to Web ster's definition of the scholar. But Mr. Seville points Cut that success as meas ured by the Phi Beta Kappa 'depends on an ability to exercise mental disci pline, to correlate the processes of the mind in an orderly manner, and control them for a fixed end." Thus these fixed habits of thought tend to develop the scholar in after life. Since the scholar must have these attributes the majority of scholars are Phi Beta Kappa men, but by no means are the majority of Phi Beta Kappa men scholars. In clos ing Mr. Seville summed up his opinion of Phi Beta Kappa's usefulness when he said that "it does not indicate scholar ship, but it is the first logical step to ward scholarship, and a pursuer of suc cess in those professions requiring men tal attainments of a higher order." FROSH FIVE WINS FROM WOODBERRY GLEE CLUB GIVES CONCERT TUESDAY (Continued from page one) of the Virginia trip, losing to the V. M. I. Rats by the score of 24-14 in a fast and hard fought contest Inci dentally it might be mentioned that this was the sixth consecutive victory for the V. M. I. quint, which is undoubtedly one of the best first year teams ever produced in the Old Dominion state. The game started off with a rush and for several minutes neither team was able to- tally a marker. However, Cap tain Bishop of V. M. I. soon broke the ice with a long two-pointer and from then on both" aggregations began to lo cate the hoop with more or less -regu larity. At the end of the initial half the Rats were in the lead and never were they in any danger of being over come. Ihe lar uaoies i.ougni gauanuy but they were simply outplayed. Harner, of V. M.

Next week the Club will journey in a chartered bus to Gastoniit for a con cept Thursday evening. Friday night the men will sing in Greenville, South Carolina at the iGrecnville. Woman's College. The following evening will find the oranization in Spartanburg with an engagement at Converse College. After these appearances the' Club will begin its grand tour of the quarter, this trip will include concerts ut many northern cities notably New York and Philadel phia. The itinerary to be followed will be announced at - the beginning of next week. For So important a trip as that to be undertaken after next Thursday, the officers have udded several new 'songs, particularly negro spirituals, which will giv.c the program a wealth of variety. The program now given by the Glee Club is that which was Introduced by Mr. Davidson, director of the Harvard Glee Club. Very few choral organi zations attempt a concert of the quality given by the Tar Heel songsters. The popularity of this program is evidenced by the fact that the University Glee Club received enticing offers from thirty five large cities following its concert at Kansas City and Cincinnati last year. Mr. Fitch, who was the Club's guest artist for that tour, was highly lauded for his ability as a soloist. Invitations from cities ranging from New York to San Francisco were declined because of scholastic duties. It is easily seen, from a consideration of the organizations rank nationally that the concert here Tuesday will af ford Chapel Hill music lovers a rare treat. Tickets for this performance, the only one of the yeirr in Chapel Hill, go on sale at Sutton & Alderman's Drug Store this morning. BLACK AND WHITE WILL BE FEATURE OF PRODUCTION Mrs. A. A.

BLACK and WHITE Thursday and Friday An Original Revue in 21 Scenes 14 Girls In BLACK and WHITE Thursday and , Friday (Continued from page one) To ' conclude the first net "Dark Clouds", a short minstrel scene, is being prepared. This scene carries another set of scenery, many gay and loud costumes and numerous jokes, songs, etc. It lasts about eight minutes, and has been put In so that the show will contain every type of amusement. "Old Fashioned Love" is probably the feature act of the show from the stand point of beauty of scenery, costumes, etc. This picture, with its trellis, arches, run ning yellow roses, garlands' of pink and white , roses, hedges,' lavender v wisteria and the boys and girls in their old fash ioned costumes, is expected to be the sweetest scene produced here in a long while. .Two changes of scenery are to be made in this scene. The required cos tumes are being secured from Miller, Costumier of Philadelphia, ; mt a very great expense. A very unique idea for the scenery and costumes is being used in "Gingham, a Light Lunch, and You." The scenery is made entirely of different colored ginghams, and the girls' costumes have been made of gingham to match the va rious patterns used in the scenery. This will be? a very colorful and snappy, but well balanced, act. The stage in ."'Dance of Duggers", in which Miss Leatherwood and Mr. Block do an interpretative dance, will be very effectively turned Into an Orie'ntaL tem ple.. , This scene will be very artistic from every standpoint. The quartet will have something novel to offer in the way of singing, and there will be a very novel piece of scenery used with their act. The director was not prone to disc-lose this, since - its uniqueness deserves to be revealed" in the form of a surprise. , "Ragtime Cinderella" will offer every-1 thing that Louis XI V's glittering court could have produced. In this scene four teen girls and twenty-nine boys take parts, and all of them are costumed gorgeously and extravagantly. , Part of the evening gowns are being made by dressmakers here while the remaining ones are being furnished by Miller. The director is sparing no expense in mak ing this a spectacular scene in every detail. The director's desire is to make tills a well balanced show, and the above mentioned facts show that the staging and costuming end of the performance is being very efficiently worked out. Tickets for the, performance are now on sale at Patterson's, the price being f 1.00 and $1.25 for rush seats and re served seats respectively. Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, head of the bureau of home economics in the state department of education, will address the Community Club at its meeting next Friday afternoon one week from today in the social rooms of the Presbyterian church. After the meeting tea will be served. Students Exhibit Abundance Faith An abundance of faith was ex hibited Thursday night by Caro. Una students gathered at the Smoke Shop to receive returns from the Carolina-State game in Raleigh. Critics of the Univer : sity may continue to accuse stu- dents here of being agnostics atheists, and infidels but no long it are they eligible for acusations of faithlesness. The score turned in at the half stage in the game gave Carolina a 7-6 lead over the Tech rivals. Belief of the students that the game would be bitterly contested was substantiated and a large crowd was waiting: for the final score. Upon receiving: the final re suits the store keeper marked ft up upon the window: Carolina 8, State College 17. Students were dead sure that the Tar Heels could never he held to one point by any team and thought a numeral was due to go in front of Carolina's eight. The Shopman was called on to lay aside joking and give out the real score. In spite of all assurance from him, the students refused to budge. He offered the paint brush to the students and told them to mark up what they pleased, that he couldn't change it. So insistent were the students that the score was wrong, Ral eigh was called and the 8-17 score verified. In face of over whelming odds the students re turned to their rooms in a dumb founded state. The local var sity has never been known to have been held to a score as small as that of Thursday. -4 Dr. and ' Mrs. William de B.
