TO GIVE LEONID
ANDREYEV'S PLAY
'He Who Gets Slapped" to Be
Presented Friday and
Saturday Nights
DENNY HAS LEADING ROLE
Reserved seats for both
performances of "He Who
Gets Slapped" can now be
reserved at Sutton and Al
derman drug store. Seats
for the performance are
$1.00 each. Seats will be
on sale at the ticket office
of the Theatre building the
night of both performances
for the benefit of those who .
are unable to secure their
seats earlier.
He Who Gets Slapped, a story
of circus life by Leonid Andre
yev, will be presented in the
Playmaker Theatre tomorrow
and Saturday by the Playhouse
actors of Asheville. .
He Who Gets Slapped is
strong play presented by an in
telligent cast who have studied
the play and re-live the parts
instead of just giving the inter
pretation of them. The costumes,
as designed by Irene A. Converse
Are thoroughly in keeping with
the play as well as being beau
tiful and colorful.
The story of the play deals
. with the life and emotions of a
man of high education forced
from society and who seemed to
cover up his soul under the
makeup of a clown. George V
Denny in the role of HE gives
the role the superb interpreta
tion that he has always shown in
liis acting with the Carolina
Playmakers. He plays the role
of the clown, who, suffering
from a broken faith, a victim of
disappointment in love, and cast
cut by friends, tries to forget
11 by becoming just HE, a mere
tdown in a circus. Underneath
his makeup he gives to the world
the jaunty pose of one ' who
laucrhs that he may hide the
ravages of a bleeding heart.
John W. Timen, a student of
Stanislavsky directs the play and
also plays the difficult part of
Mancini with ease and convic
tion."
Miss Mary Madeline Ross
who played the part of Lady
Pane in the New Year of Ham
merstein's Rose Marie, will play
the part of Consuelo, bareback
rider in papa Briquet's circus.

27 NEW MEN JOIN
THE PHI ASSEMBLY
Dormitory Soliciting Discussed
DEAN'S LIST
CORRECTED
The following corrections
should be made to the Dean's
List which was published in Sat
urday's issue.... To the junior list
should be added D. R. Jonas and
W. F. Shaffner, Jr. To the
senior list should be added the
names of J. A. Crow, TV A. Ken
nedy, Jr., C. S. Mangum, Jr.,
and W. G. Morgan.
With the renewed enthusiasm
the Phi Assembly held its week
ly meeting Tuesday night in the
first year classroom of 'the law
building. The response to the
call for initiates into the society
was unusually strong. Twenty
seven new men were administer
ed the oaths and obligations of
the Assembly. '
The first resolution discussed
concerned a question of vital in
terest to every student. Resolv
ed : That soliciting in the dor
mortories shall be limited to a
period of one hour each night
which period shall be selected
by the occupants of each dormi
tory at their next meeting.
Mr. Carroll, speaking in favor
of this plan, said that the- Uni
versity considers the present
soliciting situation as unfavor
able. The interruption of stud
nts at every hour of the night is
detrimental to their studying.
He proposes that one hour
should be given, after 9 p. m., to
the solicitation by self-help
students for their work. Mr,
Noe opposed this idea as being
harmful to those students earn
ing their liwelihood, while
tending to cramp their style as
salesmen. It is necessary that
we give self-help students every
possible opportunity to remain
at the University, said the speak
er. The final vote of the As
sembly was heartily opposed to
this resolution.
The lollowmg motion . was
met with a far from sober "atti
tude by the members. It con
cerned the admittance of Co-eds
into membership in the Assem
bly. No one seemed to have
given the idea any really serious
thought and the results that
would occur with the presence of
the fair sex in that Hall, were
amusingly described. This mot-
tion was tabled until the next
meeting.

EIGHT MEMBERS MAKE
UP "FACULTY CABINET"
CONNER ADDRESSES NORTH CAROLINA
CLUB AT ITS FIRST MEETING
The North Carolina Club be
gan its thirteenth year with a
meeting in Saunders Hall last
Monday evening. The feature
of the evening was a paper by
Dr. R. D. W. Connor on "The
Development of Democratic In
stitutions in North Carolina,"
which provided a very excellent
background for the topics which
are to follow.
He reminded the members of
the Club that their papers and
discussions helped to mould
public opinion throughout the
state, and that in several in
stances wanted reforms in the
State had their beginnings
in the N. C Club discussions.
Dr. Connor reviewed the de
velopment of North Carolina's
political democracy. He said it
was a mistaKe to think ot De
mocracy as a product of the eigh
teenth century, but that it was
more of an accomplishment of
the nineteenth. The American
Revolution was not a democratic
movement but rather a rebellion
of Englishmen whose constitu
tional had been violated.
North Carolina's constitution
was written by Englishmen and
in it the time-honored rights of
Englishmen were guarenteed.
The first constitution was far
from a democratic instrument.
t set up a government based on
property rights, and only land
owners were eligible to vote and
hold office. Furthermore, only
Protestants could be elected to
offices ; atheists, Catholics, and
Quakers were outside the pale.
Democracy did not gain head
way until 1830. In Eng
land the Reform Bill of 1832 was
passed, and in America we were
having the Jacksonian era. In
North Carolina, about this time,
the democratic movement orig
inated chiefly among the Scotch
Irish of the Piedmont. They
were mostly small farmers and
were more democratic in their
views than the large landowners
in the East. In 1830 the west
began to propose internal im
provements, but met with op
position from the East, -which
was unwilling to pay higher tax
es. ; Representation in the As
sembly was accordiing to coun
ties and the West, having very
few counties had little voting
strength. Whenever the West
created a county the same was
done in the east to offset its
vote. All state officials were
appointed by the Legislature.
The western part of the state
was helpless and it was not un
til it threatened to secede that
their demands received any at
tention. Archibald D. Murphey,
in whose honor Murphey Hall is
named, was the spokesman of
the West and a great champion
of Democracy. ..... In 1834 the
question of a constitutional con
vention was submittedto the

The new Y. M. U. A. organi
zation plan for the University
student body was inaugurated
Monday night with the Junior-
Senior Cabinet, the Sophomore
Cabinet, and the Freshman Cab
inet, meeting in separate rooms
of the Y. M. C. A.
This new organization is made
necessary by the great increase
in the student body and the Y.
M. C. A. work on the campus,
and instead of the one Y. M. C.
A. cabinet for the three upper
classes, there is now organized
the Junior-Senior Cabinet, and
the Sophomore Cabinet, with the
Freshman Cabinet, formerly the
Freshman Friendship Council,
for the first year men. A "Y"
Cabinet is being formed for fac
ulty members of the Y.. M. C. A.,
which will be called the "Facul
ty Cabinet," and "about eight
members of the faculty have sig
nified their desire for member
ship. Each cabinet is to meet
separately, in the "Y" building,
Monday nights, at 8:30, three
times a month, and the last week
of the month hold joint meet
ings, with the regular officials
taking charge. The new system
of organization was planned by
the National Council of the Y.
M. C. A., at its annual confer
ence four weeks ago, "in which
Mr. H. F. Comer took part, and
it is recommended as the most
comprehensive plan for student
"Y" work in the United States.
Each cabinet is the agent for
the Y. M. C. A. work in its class.
The Junior-Senior Cabinet will
direct the main work Of the "Y",
and appoint the committees for
the 27 departments of the an
nual program, calling on the cab
inets of the two lower classes
for members of these commit
tees. Each cabinet will deal in
particular with problems of its
own class.
The meetings Monday night
were well attended by both old
and new men. The programs
primarily consisted of election of
officers, and talks by Mr. Comer,
and Walter E. Crissman, assis
tant "Y" Secretary, concerning
the new system of organization.
The officers elected to head the
Freshman Cabinet this year are :
William Bobbitt, president; Bob
Graham, vice-president; Marion
Follin, secretary; and Bud Es-
kew, treasurer. The same rules
of organization apply to . the
Freshman Cabinet as to those
of the Y. M. C. A. freshman

Carolina's Conference
Standing
TEAM IS WORKING HARD
Realizing that they are fac
ing one of the hardest games
on the entire grid card Satur
day, Carolina football mentors
have pushed their squad through
one of the most intensive weeks
of training that has ever been
witnessed on Emerson field in an
effort to iron out the wrinkles
which developed in the Demon
Deacon affair, and when the Tar
Heels take the field against the
strong University of Tennessee
eleven at Knoxville Saturday, a
much smoother and more power
ful machine than that which
trotted out on Gore field last
Saturday will be the result.
The contest with the Tennes
see gridmen is a recent addition
to the Carolina program, and
it is upon this contest that Caro
lina's strength in Southern Con
ference circles will undoubtly be
rated. Little is known of the
strength of the Tennessee eleven
and the Tar Heels will go into
the fray "with blinkers on"
what, the result may be cannot
be predicted. However, it is
known that the western univer
sity ranks high in conference
circles, and a Carolina victory
in that contest will mean much
to the Tar Heels in their race
for conference honors.
The Tar Heel eleven which
will take the field Saturday will
more than likely be the same
which started the Wake Forest
contest. Warren and McMur-
rary, ends; rauiKner or Greg

Josephs and Whisnaut, guards;
Lipscombe or Swartz, center;
