STUDENT COUNCIL
ASKS RESIGNATION
MAGAZINE HEADS
Julian Starr, Editor, and R. K.
Fowler, Assistant Editor,
Are Fired.
"CIIAPPELL ISSUES WARNING"
The student Council in session
Thursday night- asked Julian
Starr, editor-in-chief, and R. K.
Fowler, assistant editor, of the
Carolina Magazine to resign
from their positions within forty-eight
hours. The action of
the Council came as a result of
the article Slaves which appear
ed in the Carolina Magazine
last week.
The following is a statement
from S. G. Chappell:
The right of the undergradu
ate to express himself freely is a
treasure too dear and too val
uable to throw away. The reac
tion of the faculty to Debunking
the Catalogue, an article which
appeared in the Magazine last
year, is evidence that we have
the greatest amount of liberty in
expressing our opinions. This
article wes very personal and an
ultra criticism of many of the
outstanding professors in our
faculty. Many of those to whom
mention was made are national
ly, known and praised for the
excellency of their work. Yet a
student saw fit to say they were
failures as teachers ,;and got a,
way with it.
This liberty of expression
is ours, and ours to keep,
so long . . as the University
can trust us to hold within the
bounds of common decency in

CAKE RACE TO BE
HELD OCTOBER 29
Smoke Shop to Award Cake to Dormi
tory with Most Candidates.
With the date for the annual
Cake Race only three weeks off,
interest in the . popular intra
mural event has been greatly in
creased by the announcement
that more awards are to be ad
ded to the prizes that will- be
given the participants on Octo
ber 29th.
Dean Paulsen has announced
that the Smoke Shop will award
a gigantic Cake to that dormi
tory which places the most men
in the first 100 to finish. Indivi
dual rivalry should reach a high
peak on account of the announce
ment by the Book Exchange that
it will award a silver loving cup
to the winner of the race.
Any new "aspirants, and all
those who are not already follow
ing a definite training schedule,
should see Dale Ranson, coach
of Carolina's hill-and-dale men,
at the Stadium; He will be glad
to assist any prospective track
man to work out a training sche
dule, suggest proper work-outs,
and give any help to any poten
tial "cake-eater" that this know
ledge of the cinder-path sport
permits.
As the rushing war goes on,
need for the administrative pow
er of the Interf raternity Coun
cil becomes greater and its
meetings become more frequent.
A meeting was called for the at
tention of ; special , business
Thursday, night, and several im
portant current - matters were
settled.
An interesting topic voted up
on was that ot leeds by the
individual fraternities, and the
old rule inaugurated by the
Council some three years" ago
was revived and revised. This
rule prohibited teeus m any
form, being defined as "premed
itated and concerted formal en
tertainment of a group of fresh
men by fhe members of repre
sentatives of a fraternity'. The
council decided thatT it had no
right to jurisdiction over the
chapters asking freshmen to
meals in the house, when such
organizations customarily ate. in
the houses.
It was also decided that all
national and local fraternities
must submit their bids in writing
by midnight, Monday, Oct 25,
these bids being received by the
secretary of the Council, D. E.
Iludgins, who will in turn sub
mit them to the office of the Dean
of Men. Special emphasis is
laid upon the bids being turned
in. by midnight, at the Kappa
Sigma house.
Dean Patterson and Mr. Com
er, oi trie i were cnosen as
the two faculty members of the
five on the Executive Committee,
serving with upperclass Greeks
Buck, Finley, and Vanstory in
marshalling the neophytes to the
houses ) their choice.
. Tbi attention - of the Council
was callod to the necessity of ad
herence not only by representa
tives of the Council, but all the
fraternities, to the spirit as well
a3 the letter of the Rushing Reg
ulations, and all members of
fraternal organizations are by
their honor bound to report all
violations in their own- as well as
outside chapters. .
THE P1AYMAKERS
STAGED SPLENDID
SHOW LAST NIGHT
Reviewer Finds "A Thousand
Years Ago" Splendid Play
Well Handled by Cast
CREDIT TO PLAYMAKERS
: By Etaoin Shrdlu
"A Thousand Years Ago," roj
mance in classic form by Percy
iviacivaye, was presented in
Memorial Hall last night. Thfc
plot deals with a princess wh)
has ianen m love with a pseuao
beggar. To ward off suitors de
siring her hand and kingdoms
she has divided riddles, the suit
or answering them receiving her
in marriage, or, failing, loses
his head, which then becomes a
dornment for the city gate. The
king is much worried over his
daughter's rather drastic con'
duct, and fruitlessly schemes
ways of getting her happily mar
ried. Just when the gate is
loaded to capacity, and .eligible
bachelors are running low, Ca
pocomico, with his band of play
ers appears, and offers to smooth
out affairs if the king abdicate
to him for a day, his head to
join the others at the gate if he
is unsuccessful. ' .
The thing1 moves with all of
the delightful -improbability of
an Arabian Nights tale. There
are charms, swoonings, lovers'
rings, and faded roses.
Staging is very well done. By
recreating the Forest Theatre in
Memorial Hall nature has been
improved upon. The sets are
simple, but highly 'effective their
beauty; heightened by adroit
lighting.
The leads are all well taken.
Miss Nicks has a mellow voice
that is best suited to a produc
tion of this sort. The role of
Turajidot becomes her. William
D. Kerr, as Calaf, the hero, is
another whoselip3 can betrust
ed with the flowery language
which the drama form demands
of the characters. V
Professor Holmes plays the
part of Capocomico n his inimi
table way. He is so well known to
playgoers here that appreciation
would be redundancy:
Professor Haronian and W. R.
Atlee as players in Capocomico's
troupe do well. Atlee, as Harle-!
qiun, is not quite as gravelul as
some dancers we have seen, but
he is nimble, and his pantomine
is good. The other two members
of the troupe leave much to be
desired. Neither, of them is at
home on the stage, and play" but
poorly.
Altoum, father to" Tourandot
forsakes feeling in his speeches
for clarity of diction. He han
dles his role well, however, and
is as imperialistic as could be
imagined. ' .; ...
John Bullock, as a servant to
Calaf is perhaps the worst of the

WILL SPEAK HERE
TUESDAY NIGHT
First Lecturer" of Year Was a
Member of Mount Everest
- Expedition.
The Public Lectures Commit
tee of the University has been
most fortunate in securing as the
first lecturer of the year, Cap
tain John Noel, the official pho
tographer of the 1924 Mount.
Everest Expedition. Captain
Noel Will speak Tuesday night at
8:30 in Memorial Hall.
Captain Noel's subject is "On
The Koof of the World"; it will
be illustrated by moving pic
tures taken on the great expedi
tion. . Mount Everest, the high
est mountain of the world, is lo
cated in a part of Tibet which,
prior to 1924, no white man had
ever been allowed to enter. Those
embarking upon the 1924 Expe
dition determined to enter Tibet,
to explore land never before seen
by a white mah,"and to scale the
heights of Mount Everest. The
dangers they encountered and
the adventures they met will be
graphically depicted b; Captain
Noel in his lecture.
As official photographer, Noel
possesses all known information
about the Expedition. Every
move of the party was" covered
by his camera. It was Captain
Noel who caught the last picture
of Mallory and Irvine as they set
out to scale the final stretch of
Mount Everest. At 600 feet
from the top of the mountain
they were last seen; no one
knows what happened after
wards" nor how these two intre
pid explorers met their death.
The moving pictures which
Captain Noel will use in connec
tion with his lecture, show not
only the daring attempts to
climb Mount Everest but also
give a splendid picture of the

"Who did Bill have a date
with tonight? This buck-anight
for Picks is getting me
down This season is fully a
week too long- Do you think the
Delta Zetas will, get him? Be
cause we've sewed up that fresh
man there's no sense letting him
drop I can't find time to write
home for money." These quota
tions are being constantly re
peated in the fraternity houses,
when the reluctant freshmen
have. at last taken their depar
ture, and the brothers are to
gether for an informal meeting.
The rushing melee is approach
ing its thickest, and some twenty-six
nationals have not a thing
in common, except to get as
many "good" freshmen as they
can buy pledge buttons.
Underneath the current bab
ble of rushing there is one con
stantly-recurring theme : The
season is still too long. Older
fraternities, to whom a long sea
son is beneficial, have so "influ
enced the vote of the Interfra-
ternity Council as to needlessly
prolong the agony, and work the
disadvantage of younger, but
out-numbering, groups. The ac
tual business of "looking 'em
over" is over, for the first big
week-end has come and gone.
Chapters have had plenty of op
portunities to observe how rush
ees hold their likker, how grace
fully a certain frosh shakes
hands equally so, how graceful
ly and aloofly he refrains from
shaking hands.
Still the war continues need
lessly. Neither , freshmen or
rushers find time for studies, af
ternoon or evening. ' Every fra
ternity that is a fraternity
(and several that are not) keeps
"the house" with at least one I
rushee in it all the time the
upperclassman shakes off the
ghosts of undone classwork, and
lightly engages in trivial conver
sation with some Finchley-clad
prospect dear old Zeta Theta
Eta must be paramount in their
minds 'til the 27th.
One caustic junior observed
that the season was really over
anyway, and witheringly asked
"How many lodges do you sup
pose haven't a single man sewed
up? It'd sure be in a H 1 of a
way!" Another Greek predict
ed facetiously that the Council
would change the date of open
pledging to Oct. 20th, as all the
freshman class would be "fixed"
by that date.
The Carolina-Duke contest on
Emerson field this afternoon will
terminate a week of manifest in
terest and speculation as to the
relative strength of the rival
teams.
Cheering
Kyke Kyser announced last
evening that the same arrange
ment for seating of the classes
that was held last Saturday
would be in vogue this afternoon.
He has a wire from the Duke
cheering forces that the Metho
dist institution will attend the
game 800 strong and that
cheering will be at its maxi
mum heighth on the Duke side
of the field. The Carolina
cheerleader is anxious that the
BATTLING pra'sewory support that the
student body rendered last week
be maintained - throughout the
year," and hopes that it will be
renewed with even more intense
vigor for the affray today.
Trainer Quinlan of the Tar
Heel Squad announces that he
expects to have Carolina's full
strength in uniform for the
game, and that every man will
probably be physically ready to
enter the game.
The Duke team is fortified by
the return of several stars who
have been inactive for some
time because of injuries.
Foilage Removed
In a recent lecture coach De
Hart advised his Blue Devils to
rid themselves of the five day
growth of beard which had ac
cumulated on the face of each
player, as the result of a com
pact among the players to de
feat the University, and not to
shave until after the eventful
game. The coach explained that
the Tar Heel mentors have done
efficient work, and that it will
take more than good luck omens
to bring victory to Duke.

A large 'crowd will journey
