C, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1927 NUMBER 46 MORE FREEDOM TO SELECT OWN RELIGION NEEDED Trabue Belieyes Solid Founda tion for Belief in God Comes Thru Scientific Processes. : Declaring that any "unscien tific approach to God and His relations to man is practically certain in modern times to prove treacherous and frequently des tractive of all religious faih," Dr. M. R. Trabue of the School of Education opened the fourth of a series of lectures which are being given in the Methodist church on "The Revelation of God Through' Science" in the church auditorium last Sunday evening. He believes that the only solid foundation for faith in God is to be reached through scientific processes. "That institution, whether it be a church or a state, which does not recognize science as the chief agency by which God is revealing His will to mankind is doomed to decay and destruc tion." Dr. Trabue declared that unless the educated man of to day is allowed to prove the real ity of God for himself in the same scientific manner in which he proves ' other conclusions, mankind might just as well give up hope of ever achieving that "Peace on earth, good will a mong men," of which the churches sing so confidently.

The White Phantoms of the University of North Carolina un covered a hidden reserve of speed in the last ten minutes of the game with State at the Tin Can Saturday night, scored at will, and defeated the Red Ter rors by the count of 40 to 20. The game opened rather slow ly. Over eight minutes had elapsed before a field goal was made by either side. Finally "Hooker" Spence," State forward and former Tar Baby basketeer, cut loose, and the scoring was on. The two teams tied at eight points, and Captain Bunn Hack ney was sent into the game ; the Tar Heels then took a brace, f nrtrp.A into the lead and were never headed after that. ' At the end of the first half, the South ern champions were leading by a score of 16 to 10. Something inspiring must have happened to the Phantoms during the intermission. The Tar Heels resumed play at a fair rate of speed, and finally un corked one of the most brilliant passing games exhibited by a team in the vicinity of the old Tin Can this year. The score went up and up until five min utes -before the end it stopped with the, winners on the safe end of a 40 to 14 score.

' (Continued on pag three) (By DeC.) , Howard Mumford Jones cap tivated his audience at the Play maker Theatre Sunday with a reading of his one-act play Ked dra. Keddra, the scene of which is laid in Asia, has to deal with the coming of the Blue Gods and the sacrifice of Keddra, a beg gar girl from the valley below. The scene is laid in a chamber in "the temple of the Blue Gods and the story deals with the sup posed approach of the gods whom the high priest and his assistants have invented to put fear in the hearts of the com mon people. There has been a disturbance in the heavens and the people and priests, who now believe in the existence of the gods whom they have invented, fear that the final day of judg ment has arrived. As a sacrifice to avert punishment, a peasant woman brings her daughter, Keddra, to the temple but she is not of the Blue Gods suasion. The high priest seeing that a woman must be sacrificed plans to kill the mother and keep the daughter for himself.

HIS POSE Captain Ad Warren, better known by the sobriquet "K. O.", is on a southern trip with his boxing team. The Carolina mitmen met the Uni versity, of Georgia at Athens last night. " f As a result of a suggestion by Dr. Edgar Wind of the philoso phy department the Carnegie Corporation has awarded the University of North Carolina materials valued at $5,000 to be used in the study and teaching of fine arts. The whole question of the de velopment of a school of fine arts in the University is under consideration by a faculty com mittee of which Dr. George Howe is chairman. Dr. Howe re cently visited several of the large institutions of the country to gather information about training in painting, sculpture, and architecture, and his report will be the initial step in the for mulation of a University policy with regard to this branch of culture. ' - ' From time to time W. S. Bernard has given lectures, il lustrated by lantern slides of paintings and statues and build ings, which have been much en joyed; and Mr. Wind is now of fering a fine arts course as part of the program of the philoso phy department. . The Carnegie gift, it is under stood consists of books, prints of celebrated works of art, and textiles. One of the immediate questions confronting the Uni versity is: where may the prints be exhibited? Possibly the bak cony around the lobby of the li brary will be put at the disposal of the committee." .' ' Over-Specialization Causes Decrease In the A. B. Registration Decrease in registration in the School of Liberal Arts can be traced to over-specialization, is the opinion of Dean Hibbard as expressed in his annual re port to President Chase. "The situation is more critical than the mere size of the enrollment in this particular college. and it will need most serious consideration, this year and for some years to come," according to his statement. In the report the fact was em phasized that for the last few years the registration in the Lib eral. Arts School has been on the decline. As a solution for this problem the Dean suggested, "A more vitalized curriculum and more actual hard work will at once bring the College" back to its real significance and the stu dent back to a respect for aca demic industry." He also suggested that a more vitalized curriculum might be accomplished by following two lines of action: First, the offer- (Continued en page four) FORD, DRIVEN AT FAST RATE, TURNS OVER AT TIN CAN Unknown Couple Wreck Coupe of I.
