mttel, Udrch i, itir THB TAR HEEL Pag Thre CHANGE DATE OF COLLECTING DUES German Club Will Not Require Pees Until Easter Dances. German" Club' ; members will ot be required to pay their dues in full until the beginning of the Easter dances, it was decided at a meeting of the executive com mittee last night. - The rule in effect since last fall which made it necessary to make complete payment of the twenty dollars yearly fees by the first of February has been re scinded.. Those who paid at least one-half of the amount prior to attending the Thanks giving dances must pay the re mainder before the Spring hops take place. Members who have not paid the first ten dollars will be required to advance the entire yearly fee before dancing in the spring. New members may be allowed the privilege of the club on the payment of the initiation fee and dues to Frazier Glenn, Treasurer. V The dances scheduled for the Spring holidays this year are be ing planned with all ' intentions of making them the best of the year and the activity of the German Club committees points to a realization of the hopes of the organization. Weidmeyer has been engaged to furnish the music and this.fact is being sug gested as an assurance of the success of the affairs, musically speaking. The dances will come on the Thursday and Friday fol lowing Easter, and a series of five hops will be held. There will be two dances on Thursday, April 21, afternoon and night, with three on the calendar for Friday the twenty-second. The Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity, which is giving a house party during the holidays, will also be hosts as a dance Saturday. Weidmeyer is playing in Dur ham on the same night, making the week-end a continuous whirl of ballroom affairs. Cleaner Politics Is Urged by Dr. Chase in Chapel Address The real, fundamental test for candidates for office ia whether they are working lot the mere sake of attaining their own per sonal desires or because they have a genuine, interest in ad vancing the best interests of the people, President Harry W. Chase told University students inChapel in an address antici pating the approaching student elections. Politics is inevitable so long as we have government, Dr. Chase pointed out; "but we must never allow politics to become more important in our estima tion than government," he add ed. ' "Student government exists in order to hold up certain ideals and rules of conduct to the cam- memoriAl hall (A Brief Sketch) WAYOFHANDLING CHECKS ALTERED Under New Plan Parents Are Notified When Bad Check Is Given. Whenever a student gives i bad check, his parents are noti fied immediately under a plan recently inaugurated by the Dean of Students Office, Dean F. F. Bradshaw announced in Chapel yesterday morning. He stated that he expected this pro cedure to eliminate many of the bad checks that are given every month here, since the cause of most of them is carelessness and lack of a definite understanding as to the time and amount of deposits between , the student and the parent. "Carolina students are giving very few bad checks among the merchants of the state," Dean Bradshaw said, "About ten per cent of the student body, or wound 280 men, have given bad checks this year. This necessi tates a large amount of work on the part of officials in order to straighten out the difficulties that arise from them, however." Arthur Quinn To Visit University Arthur Hobson Quinn, head of the English Department of the University of Pennsylvania, well-known as an authority on American drama, is going from Philadelphia to Greenyille, South Carolina, next week to see the Carolina Playmakers perform in that city. He will accompany them to Chapel Hill in their chartered bus and will deliver a talk on "Contemporary Ameri can Drama" in the Playmakers Theatre Monday, March .7., . pus," he said in regard to stu dent rule at the University. "The difficulty comes when we don't see that that is the final objec tive of it and see only the poli tics. It is an extremely bad thing when people reach the point that they let personal de sire for leadership run away from the big objective of government." PLAY PRODUCTION CONTEST PLANNED Carolina Dramatic Association Holds High School Tourna . -, ment in March. The program of the third an nual Dramatic Tournament for high .school, college, and com munity clubs, to be held here March 24-25-26, has been ar ranged by the executive commit tee of the Carolina Dramatic As sociation. There will be two en tirely spearate dramatic contests conducted between high schools of the state. First, there will be a presentation of original plays written by high school stu dents, and, second, there will be the final contest between the winning plays of the eastern and western schools. Members of the committee who met in Chapel Hill recently to make the final arrangements were: Robert Wtinch of Ashe ville, president of the associa tion; Miss Gertrude Knott of Chowan College, vice-president; Miss Ethel Rockwell of Chapel Hill, secretary; and Russell M Grumman, Frederick H. Koch, and Hubert Heffner, of the Uni versity Extension Division. Secretary Rockwell reported that 45 high schools had already entered the tournament this year, whereas last year the total was only 32. Other entries are expected. The high school contests are to be held Friday and the col lege and community contests Saturday. A mardi-Gras mas querade and torchlight proces siori on the last night is one of several new features being plan ned. - The four original plays which will be presented by the high school in which the writer is a student, have been selected by the judges. High Point High School will produce The Red Light, by Elanor Idol ; Asheville High School will produce Trial, by Peggy Ann Williams. In the group of country schools Paw Creek School will present Her Hermitage, by Margaret Todd; and Seaboard School will pre sent Walnut Boards, by William Long. ' ' Judges of the plays submitted were: George jviciue, Jtussen Potter, and Mrs. Howe, all of whom are from Chapel Hill. A scientist is suggesting that man retained his tail some time after he became intelligent. But then the earliest caves never had revolving doors. Punch (By Walter Creech) Back in the early . eighties when appropriations from the legislature were small, few and far between, a new building on the campus was the outstanding achievement of a decade, an e- vent of commanding importance to the entire community, small barefoot , boys included. Dr, Charles S. Mangum tells an in teresting story with a back ground of University -.history which had its setting during the building of Memorial Hall. ." The work on the building was progressing slowly with the ad vancement of the construction depending upon private purses and all other available sources. The people of the neighborhood and alumni all over the state watched the progress with eager interest. The walls of the coffin- shaped architectural monstros ity rose with difficulty. Then came the day for the two main supporting arches to be lifted into- position. They1 had been constructed oh the ground and were to be raised by means of block and tackle into place, ex tending from each side of the front door to the top of the win dow now at the rear of the stage. Hoist Breaks ' The date set for the hoisting of the arches was heralded as a gala occasion and a big public celebration was arranged. On a warm, autumn day in 1883 a large crowd assembled, at the building site. The band played. Gentlemen in high collars and long-tailed coats made speeches. Ladies adorned with copious bustles, plumed hats and trailing skirts fluttered here and there brandishing dainty parasols and feathered fans. Dr. Mangum,, then a small barefooted boy, was among the most enthusiastic on lookers in the colorful crowd and had stationed himself in the forefront of activity. The.band struck up a martial air and the first arch began to rise slowly from the ground. It was hoisted into' mid air. Suddenly the as cent halted and with the huge beam poised above the heads of the audience, some part of the hoisting apparatus gave way, The arch swung around like a scythe in the direction of the on lookers. The crowd fled in ter ror, scattering pell mell in all di rections. The threatening beam knocked a pile of brick from un der some spectators who were nerched upon it. Confusion reigned. , Gunplay Involved Dr. Man trum reminiscing on the incident offered his interest ing and amusing sidelights "When I saw that beam coming my way, I started for home. As I rounded the corner of Old East maving as fast as my bare legs would carry me, I almost bump ed into a student, now one of the most prominent members of the Board of Trustees who was om- ing out of the north entrance. To add to the dilemma of an al ready distressing plight, an un heard of thing happened. An other student standing at the corner of the building toward the Well opened fire on him with a revolver. His line of fire crossed my line of night. 1 never stopped to learn anything about the circumstances of the shooting; that side of the ques tion was far from my mind. It was about 100 yards to a deep ditch that crossed the campus where the Confederate monu ment now stands. It was on this ditch as a place of refuge that I set my eye.' "In later years I became a sprinter but I am certain that I never made a hundred yards in spiked shoes in less time than I covered that distance barefooted." CAMPUS FORUMS END TOMORROW Winner of Y, M. C. A. Discus sion Groups .Will Get Banquet. With only one more of the Campus Forums, that have been running each Wednesday night for the past five weeks, to be held this quarter, and four of the thirty three groups organ ized running neck and neck for the banquet to be given the win ning group, the interest in the Forums is at a high pitch. The leading groups are these: first floor of G, Alton Hall, leader, E. A. Coggins, sec. ; first floor of Vance, Henry Lay, lead er, E. M. Honeycutt, sec; third floor of Smith, , D. R. Martin, leader,- J. L. Whitley, sec. fourth floor Mangum, Lawrence Wallace, leader, R. D. Marshall, sec. ; fourth floor Ruffin, R. I Hall, leader. I ' The discussions for this quar ter have been along three gen eral lines of human relations: (1) International affairs; (2) Industrial life; and (3) Matters of race. Two weeks are being devoted to each division. These subjects were chosen as prepar ation for the Human Relations Institute to be held here March 20-25. John 0. Allison and John O Evans, leaders of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet committee on religi ous work report that results from the Forums this quarter have been very favorable, due, for the most part, to the fact that the topics discussed have been of current interest. The leaders have had a two fold aim, of stimulating, interest in religious subjects, and of drawing the students into more intimate social relationships, through these groups. Cameron Talks On Power Production Chemistry Staff and Graduate ... ..: dents Hear Lecture. . Stu Dr. F. K. Cameron addressed the meeting of the' members of the Chemistry staff and gradu ate students in that department at a meeting held Friday after noon at 4:00 o'clock in Venable Hall. The subject of Dr. Cam eron's address was "Recent de velopments in the utilization of small differences in temperature for power production." This phase of power produc tion is being investigated in France by the Claude process. Dr. Cameron's suggestion for the utilization of the process was the location of a plant at Havana where they can take ad vantage of the very cold water at a depth of 3,000 feet and at the Same time have the advan tages of a warm climate. One of the most startling facts 'about the new utilization of small differences for power production is the high efficiency of the production of power which reaches approximately 75 per cent, according to Dr. Cameron.
