The row had an innocent be ginning but soon rose to a wordy climax.' When proposal of new members was called for, the aiames of Katherine Johnson and Ellen Melick were presented Senator Don Jonas protested, re minding the senate that the cpn stitution expressly provides for the admission of "male stu dents."

Edgar Knight Praises Minority Report of Educational Solons . - . o- In an address to the Charlotte Teachers Association yester day ur. .bdgar W. Knight, of the University, praised the minor, ity report of the state educational committee and said that the majority report suffered from "acute perphrasis." "The one expresses a high and broad conception of the state's educational duty and urges definite action for meeting it," de clared Dr. Knight. "The other encourages a timid policy of op portunism ana expediency. "The report is at best a feeble if not a very doubtful endorse ment of the claims of children. It convinces one that if North Carolina were financially able to support it. we could have an eight months school term, if we did not have to work our children on the farm. It suggests the whine of the colored boy who said mat it ne had some ham he could have ham, and eggs, if he had some eggs. . . - "The minority report voices that faith in rural r.hildhnnH which stirred the people of North Carolina twenty-five years ago. cm me majority report contains no inspiring utterances. It does not reveal a large view of public education as a growing and im portant concern of a great state. Provincialism hides in the heart of that report. ' "In face of the facts exhibited in the report of the com mis. sion as a whole, one cannot pose as a real friend of the cause of schools who in any way avows or encourages the slightest oppo sition to the means of their prompt and adequate support," con- eiuaea ur, Knight. the constitution in such a fashion as to permit the admission of co eds.

I. To night at 8:30 P. M. VIRGINIA HERE FRIDAY Men Are Shifted for Game with Ancient Rival. Two basketball games are on the schedule for this week-end. Tonight the Tar Heels will meet V. P. I. on the floor of the Tin Can, and tomorrow night will see the renewal of the Carolina Virginia feud when the Phan toms clash with the Cavaliers from the University of Virginia. Both games will start at 8 :30 in the Tin Can.' V. P. I. is bringing a team of unknown strength into North Carolina and will no doubt be i pretty tough proposition for he Phantoms. They have won the majority of their games in cluding a victory over the Uni versity of Virginia. Last year V. P. 1. 1 boasted of one of the best freshman basketball teams, in the South, and if this year's varsity has any of that bunch of freshmen playing,-the Tar leels will have more on their hands than expected. The Ca dets are at present 'touring North Carolina, and will jour ney over to Raleigh to meet State College Saturday night. , Virginia has "a weaker team than usual this year, and has dropped several close games. They were defeated by the Uni versity of Georgia by a margin of two points, which ' speaks well for the Cavaliers as Geor gia presented a rather powerful aggregation at the fin Can a few weeks ago. State College also nosed out Virginia. In one or two games, the Cavaliers un covered an unusual amount of speed, and their main trouble seems to be an inability to play , consistently. Virginia is nearly always at her best against the Tar Heels, and tomorrow night should find her at top shape. The Phantoms have played but one game this week and they did not look very impressive in (Continued on page three) Backstage Super of Faust Dispels Operatic Illusions taken charge of the Student Grieving over the return of his Bible class . of the Christian small friend to solitude, the One of his most interesting church.

Old North State Ranks Low In Support of Higher Education ; , o According to a survey made in the current issue of the Uni versity News Letter, North Carolina ranks low in support of its state-aided institutions of higher learning. This survey shows that twenty-nine states appropriated more per inhabitant for maintenance of these institutions during the scholastic year 1924 1925 than did North Carolina. On this basis the survey shows that North Carolina appropri ated $1,530,000 for the year 1924-25 for her colleges, which was an average of fifty-four cents per person. Twenty-nine states appropriated more per' inhabitant, ranging from fifty-five cents in Ohio to $2.43 in Oregon. Six Southern states outstripped North Carolina ; they were : Louisiana ninety-eix cents, Oklahoma eighty-eix cents, South Carolina seventy-seven cents, Texas fifty nine cents, Florida fifty-eight cents, Alabama fifty-seven centa. (By Walter Spearman) The glory and the glamour of the world-famous opera held the audience spellbound: the fair Margherite, handsome Faust, and the delightfully diabolical Mephistopheles in turn swayed the crowd with their voices. One beautiful scene followed anoth er the vision 6f Margherite at the spinning wheel as it appear ed to Faust, the joyous song of the peasant girls on their way to the fields, the gay festival where soldiers and students mix ed with the country folk, the garden scene with its lovely rose bouquets and handsome jewelled box, the stark tragedy of the prison cell, and the heavenly glory of the angels' appearance, The actors seemed to be super men and women with the gifts of song that floated easily across the footlights in flawless notes. The chorus, costumed as peas ant folk, formed an inalienable part of the atmosphere of six teenth century Germany. Twen tieth century reality had little to do with the romance of the opera. . Backstage! But once behind the footlights the glamour fades away; the iwe-inspiring characters, seen in all their grease paint, become mere human beings divested of the protective halo of distance. Only seldom do representa tives of the audience gain ad mittance to the secrets of back stage, but Saturday night twelve Carolina men penetrated the sanctum of the foot lights and made their opera debut as "su pers, .from their vantage point behind the scenes - their impressions were somewhat dif ferent from those received "out front." The ladies of the chorus were found to be middle-aged Cbj- cagoans and N iawkers who spoke unrecognized English. Perhaps once they were the pro verbial "fair, fat, and forty," but that must have been some twenty years and fifty pounds ago. Between rendering the chant of the peasant girls and the laborers' song the chorus sat heavily about on property box- (CnHnmti a f mm-)
