Carolina Playmakers as their
iirst production of the year in
Memorial Hall on Friday and
Saturday of this week at 8:30
o'clock. V
The play deals with the ro
mance of Turandot, princess of
Pekin, and Calaf, prince of As
trakham, who, during most of
the play, is disguised as a stran
ger. The role, .of Turandot is
played by Miss Enita Nicks, who
will be remembered " as having
the lead in "The Romancers",
which was given in the Forest
Theatre last spring. She is es
peciallyl suited to the role and
when the play was given dur
ing summer -school she is said
to have held the audience spell
bound by her acting and the
depth of feeling and emotion in
lier voice. Playing opposite
Miss Nicks as Calaf, Prince of
As trakham and lover of Turan
dot, is William Daub Kerr, who
makes his first appearance here
in this role. The play was seen

TEAM TO MEET
DUKE SATURDAY
Unlikely That Last Year's Score,
41-0, Favor Carolina, Be
Repeated.
DUKE STRONG ON PASSING
The annual clash between the
Tar Heels and the Blue Devils
from Duke for football suprem
acy is scheduled to take place
Saturday afternoon on Emerson
Field. Although freshened by
the recent victory over the South
Carolina Gamecocks, the Tar
Heel squad is not overconfident
of their ability to defeat the
invaders from Durham.-
Last year the Tar Heels piled
up their largest score of the
season, 41 to 0, when these same
two aggregations met on Hanes
field. That game was the same
memorable affair that first
shoved Tom Young into the
sporting limelight, which he is
so gloriously monopolizing at
present. He picked up a kick
off and ran it back eighty yards
before he was brought to earth.
One thing certain it that this
year's contest will not be the
runaway affair that came off last
season. Duke has developed a
strong eleven with plenty of re
serve material, and her splen
did forward passing attack is
bound to cause the Tar Heels
some trouble. Her line contains
several men ftom last year's
team and the game will in reali
ty prove a meeting of old friends
as far as yhisnant, Morehead,
McMurray, v Hackney, Ferrell,
Shuford, Young and other veter
ans are concerned.

HAYES TO COME
HERE AS GUEST
OF DI SENATE
By Walter Spearman
Is the Carolina campus over-organized?
Are the 402 campus organiza
tions essential or superflous? Are 159
presidents necessary? Do these ac
tivities supplement the regular uni
versity courses in- a helpful way or do
they merely take the students' time
from the more worth while objectives?
Do they reach the student body or only
a small percentage of students?
Recent surveys have been made on
campus organizations in the leading
universities of the country and have
resulted in the discovery of an appall
ing number of superflous organiza
tions among the students.
As an example of overorganization
The New Student cites Cornell, with
only 42 presidents, 11 lcaptains, and
36 managers. What is to be said of
the University of North Carolina with
its 402 student organizations, 159
presidents, 11 editors, 167 captains,
and 184 managers?
The Tar Ueeu has conducted an ex
haustive investigation of all student
organizations on the campus and has
found the following;
Fraternities 53
National 26; Local 7; Professional
10; Honorary 6; Sororities 3. , ..j.
Social Clubs 9
Minotaurs; Sheiks; "13"; Gim

GREEK ORDER IS
GIVEN NATIONAL
PHI SIGMA KAPPA
Local Theta Rho Fraternity
. Favorably Passed on
in August.
Theta Rho fraternity has been
granted a national charter.
The granting of a local
chapter, to Phi Sigma Kappa
national fraternity comes as a
resurt-"t)f -"three "yearrof 'hard
work and petitioning on the part
of Theta Rho. . The charter to
be issued is an outcome of the
convention of the national fra
ternity. The convention at
Philadelphia in August passed
favorably upon Theta Rho. Doc
tor Lawson is, so far as has
been learned, the only Phi Sig
ma Kappa member on the Hill
at present.
Theta Rho is one of the old
est and strongest local organ
izations of its kind at Carolina.
It has been slow and careful in
selecting its national organiza
tion. x
It has not been definitely
learned, as yet, just when the in
stallation will take place, but it
will very probably be during the
month of November.

WATT TO TRY OUT FOR
RHODES SCHOLARSHIP
The University Committee on
Rhodes Scholarships has select
ed the three men to represent
Carolina before the state com
mittee, which is to meet October
23. " . - .
The three men chosen are Jef
ferson Barnes Fordham, Law
rence Eugene Watt, and Charles
Thomas Lipscomb, Jr. These
outstanding Carolina students
will be considered by the state
committee in the choice of the
man to attend Oxford as the
Rhodes Scholar from North Car
olina. In making the final selection,
the committee will choose the
man who excels in these quali
ties: (1) Literary and scholastic
ability and achievement. . (2)
Qualities of manhood, character,
public spirit, and leadership.
(3) Physical vigor, as shown by
interest in outdoor sports or in
other ways. !
There are moments when one has
to choose between living one's own
life, fully, entirely, completely or
dragging out some false, shallow, de
grading existence that the world in
its hypocrisy demands. Wude.
After a very short meeting
Tuesday night the Di Senate ad
journed because of the meager
attendance.
The meeting was the first
held at 7:15, the new meeting
hour, and many members seem
to have been unaware of the
change. Only thirty senators or
so were present when President
Jonas called the Senate to order.
The bills presented were: Re
solved: that the -Dialectic Sen
ate go on record as disapproving-the
new policy of the Car
olina Magazine in its use of out
side material to the exclusion of
campus talent and also the poli
cy of printing only those articles
written by Sigma Deltas intro
duced by Senator W. T. Alex
ander ; Resolved : that a fine of
fifty cents be imposed on all
first year men for each unex-
cused absences Senator W. T,
Alexander; Resolved: that the
Dialectic Senate go on record as
condemning the new campus
publication, the Faun Senator
Brown.
There was but one bill on the
calendar, Resolved : that the Di
alectic Senate favor the intro
duction of compulsory military
training in all colleges and uni
versities in the United States.
This was considered of such im
portance that Senator Motsing
er moved that the bill be tabled
until the next meeting, and that
the society adjourn. The mo
tion was seconded and passed.

BOTH FAUN AND
FOWLER'S STORY
CENSURED BY PHI
Newly Initiated Men Talk about
Their Ideals of a Liter
ary Society.
Impressive rites of initiation
were held at the Phi Assembly,
Tuesday night. A feature of the
meeting was a number of. short
and interesting talks from the
neophytes concerning their
ideals in a literary society.
The motion was introduced
that the Phi Assembly go on
record as condemning, as unfair
representation, the recent article
concerning the society in The
Faun. .. Mr. Whitley was partic
ularly incensed, over the article.
He said that doubtless The Faun
was the product of a most talent
ed group of writers but he also
feels that they are lacking in the
proportionate gray matter. Criti
cizm, according to the speaker,
that is destructive has no value.
Their attitude toward the Phi
Assembly was unjustified and
seemed to stoop to sensational
ism, he said. He furthur de
nounced the publication of such
obscenity as the story Slaves in
the Carolina Magazine, whose
author is an important member
of the staff that publishes The
Faun, The Phi Assembly un
animously approved 4;hie motion.
The following were initiated :
W. G. Lockhart; W. A. Graham;

Cheering. .
, All boys from Pitt County are
asked to meet at the club room
on the second floor of the Y. M.
C. A. Friday night at 9 :00 p. m.
This is the first meeting of the
year and all new men are es
pecially requested to be there.
Officers for the year will be e
lected at "this time. "
All Cheerios are requested to
report to Gerrard hall tonight
(Thursday) at seven o'clock for
their regular practice session.
The excellent display of cheer
ing at the South Carolina foot
ball game has drawn many fav
orable remarks from numbers of
spectators at the game. Presi
dent Chase said : "The cheering
support given by the student
body was superior to any that 1
have seen while at the Univer
sity. The whole atmosphere
throughout the game was evi
dent of victory. I hope that such
loyal support will continue to
predominate."
C. T. Woollen, business mana
ger of the University, heard sev
eral statements from alumni
who attended the game. One old
alumnus said: "It is the biggest
comeback I have seen staged in
cheering." '
An old cheerleader wanted to
know what had happened, and
said that it was the finest cooper
ation he had ever seen. Another
alumnus said he was beginning
to think boys were getting soft
and lazy like people had accused
the players of being, "But I will
have to take it all back now, for
it is the finest spectacle I have
seen," he said.
Miss Ethel Rockwell, of the
University Extension Division,
leaves today for Asheville, where
she will speak before the Teach
ers' Convention of the Western
District of North Carolina.
The exercise commemorating
the one hundred and thirty
third anniversary of the found
ing of the University of North
Carolina - began with a parade,
which formed around Alumni
Building shortly after 10:30
Tuesday morning.
The flags of the nation and the
state headed the procession,
with the Student Council group
ed around them as a guard of
honor. The. University Band
struck up the music and the pa
rade began. Behind the Band
were the classes of the Academ
ic School in the order of their
seniority, followed by the mem
bers of the Graduate School, the
Law School, the Medical School,
and the School of Pharmacy.
The last division of the column
was composed of the speakers,
the trustees, the alumni, and the
faculty. This long procession
marched from Alumni Building
to Memorial Hall, where the
commemoration exercises began
at eleven o'clock with President
Chase presiding. : ,
" The invocation was made by
the Reverend W. T. Workman,
head of the new School of Re
ligion, after which the Univer
sity Hymn was sung by the
whole assemblage.
Dr. Chase Speaks .
President Chase announced
that he had received many tele
grams from absent alumni,
"breathing love for their Alma
Mater". Because of their great
number he had to refrain from
reading them. Before introduc
ing the speaker, he gave a short
resume of the history of the
University from the time of its
founding.
Dr. Chase reviewed the toils
the University went through
during the Civil War period, and
the days that immediately fol
lowed it. But always through
the courage and energy of some
of the citizens of the state and
of the University this great in
stitution has managed to "car
ry on" the great impulse of pro
viding higher education at pub
lic expense. North Carolina was
a pioneer among universities.
It is for us to redicate our
selves to the work of carrying
out the splendid work of the
Past."
Jefress's Speech
The honorable . Alfred M.
Scales was scheduled to make
the principal address, but due to
illness he was unable to be here.
Mr. Jefress, Mayor of Greens
boro and President of the
Greensboro News, proved him
self a capable substitute. The
theme of Mr. . Jefress' address
was "The Spirit of the Univer
sity and its Relation to the
State." ,
He began by telling of the in
fluence that the Universiy has
had in abolishing sectionalism in
the state and making this state
into a really great common
wealth., "Were it not for the
University, the state would be
divided into as many groups as
we have counties. Thank God,
due" to the University of North
Carolina, we have come together,
