CAPABLE MEN SIGNED Salary Pour Horsemen Considered Desired Too High. The resignation of Coach William McK. Fetzer from the University coach ing staff last fall ended the five year regime of the Feker brothers, Bob and Bill, at the head of the Tar Heel ath letics and forced the alumni and the business office to begin angling around for a possible successor or successors. At that time It was generally believed that one man would be secured to aid Coach Bob FeUzer In the developing of Tar Heel athletic teams, but the a thorjties Ijx charge of the matter have adopted a broader policy, and the Uni versity now has in the process of forma tion one of the most complete coach ing staffs in the country. "Four Horsemen" Considered Numerous prospective coaches were considered during the meetings of the Cching Committee, among the names under consideration being some of the most prominent athletes in the recent years of the country's gridiron, court and diamond history. Harry Stuhl dreher and Don Miller, two members of the famous- "Four Horsemen" backfleld of the NotreDame 1921 football team, came to the "Hill" for personal confer ences with the committee, but their Prices were too high, negotiations were called to a halt. Good Men Finally Signed After all the negotiations however none of those men were given the job, nd the Coaching Committee went fur ther afield to nab some of the best men tors in the country.

Madry Among those acquainted with educa tional conditions throughout the country, the University of North Carolina has come to be recognized as the leading educational itistitution in the South. It is the oldest state university, in the coun try, its cornerstone having been laid 181 years ago Hinton James of Wilmington was the first student to matriculate. He walked all the way from Wilming ton through the muddy roads of those days to get to Chapel Hill, . On every hand one now finds an abun dance of testimony of the regard in which the university is held by educators throughout the country. Only last year the. University, institutionally and through its faculty, held the presidency of four of the largest educational groups in America. These were the Asociation of American Universities, the American Association of College Registrars, the American Asociation of Professional Schools for Social Work, and the Nation al Educational Research Association. Growth of the University The growth of the University during the last half century has been unique in the history of deucational institutions. Today there is a faculty of 175 and a student body of approximately 2,500, Forty per cent of the faculty hold de grees from the institutions in which they give intruction. In place of a campus of eight buildings and a few acres of 50 years ago now one finds a campus of 44 buildings and ,106 acres, not to mention 500 acres contiguous to the campus and already- partly Jaid off in walks anu drives. : More than 72,000 students have received instruction from, the University during the past fifty years. Enrolled for the regular nine months terra have been 45,000, or the summer terms, 20,000 and for extension classes and correspondence courses, 7,000. One of the chief reasons for the large enrollment is the diversity of work offered: by Carolina. The instruction-departments. are divided into the College, of Libewl of Liberal Arts, the School of Law, the School of Ap plied Science, the School of Medicine, the School of Pharmacy, the School of Edu cation, the School of Commerce, the School of Engineering, Civil, Electrical, Chemical, Mechanical, the School of Pub lic Welfare, the Graduate School, and the Summer School.

Answer As To Where To Go To College University Is Noted For Its Excellence. Ten Colleges in one ! Which is only a convenient way of characterizing the University of North Carolia. And in this particular characterization, as well as in actuality, does the University fill the requirements for a differentiation be tween a college and university. The lat ter is defined as an "institution of high er learning which grants degrees in sev eral departments". Ten colleges!

The high or preparatory school senior, or graduate, who has not made a definite decision regarding the particular insti tution of higher learning at which he intends toacontinue his education baffles himself with the inevitable question "Where can I go to college to effect the I', greatest good for myself?". And fo a doien graduates of different col leges he might well ask what could each of the represented colleges offer which the others could not.

A dream play, by Miss Nancy Battle, will be given as a prologue to "A Caro lina Pierrot". Are a Variation To one reviewing the new bill of Caro lina plays from a dress rehearsal, the program seems to have been a variation from the realistic folk-drama which the Playmakers usually present. Two of the plays were fantasies and one was a drama o ffarm life. Although they were plays of romance and imagination, It was evident that they were drawn from folk-imaginations and legends; and they thereby presented a new phase of folk literature. die 'best recent Playmaker productions, rhe plays themselves combined spon taneity with good literary form; and the acting, though crude in places, was 'for the most part very good. The last two of the plays, Clay and The New Moon, were of types which have more appeal for the audience than the sentimental It is difficult to judge whether the rather overwhelming sentimentality of the Pierrot pluy was caused more by ' the lines or by Mr. Strudwick's inter pretation of Pierrot.
