Inharmonious!
"I just think it's terrible the
way politicians start horrible
stories on good men," were the
words of Co-ed Cora, when she
heard that J. O. Harmon, man
ager of Swain Hall, had had to
call together the men working
in the dining room to deny an
insidious story to the effect that
he had said that any man who
did not 'vote as he did would be
"fired." ' '
. After explaining to the boys
that he had been dubious about
nominating the man whom he
nominated Wednesday night,
because despite the fact that he
had absolutely steered clear of
politics for three years some
one started a story every year.
Harmon told them that a fresh
man came to him and asked him
whether he had said that any
man, who did not vote as he
did, would be "fired."
Harmon said, "I nominated
him, because I think he is a
good man, but I'm through with
politics for this year until I
: vote. I am going to voters I
please, and I expect every man
in here to vote as he damn pleas
es. The story would be ridicu
lous, if it were not so nasty."

PAUL GREEN'S PLAY
TO RUN IN ENGLAND
"In Abraham's Bosom" To Open in
London Early This Summer.
Paul .Green, member of the
University faculty, has received
a cablegram from London in
forming him that his play In
Abraham's Bosom has been ac
cepted in England and will be
presented on the London stage
either this spring or early sum
mer. The action of the English
theatrical authorities is in keep
ing with the splendid compli
ments that have been literally
pouring from the pens of the
New York critics ever since In
Abraham's Bosom was present
ed. The news that the cablegram
brought will mark a prominent
milestone in Professor Green's
career as a writer. He has seen
more that a score of his plays
enacted on American soil, but
never yet has one gained enough
force to cross the Atlantic and
be presented for the entertain
ment of the European theatre
goers. ., '
In Abraham's Bosom is al
ready being considered for the
famous Pulitzer prize and the
action of the London dramatic
magnates is a definite boost to
wards this goal pf all play writers.
EXPLAINS CASTE SYSTEM
Laments That World Is So Full
of Bitterness and Hatred.
. . T
"Man is, after all, fundamen
tally one," J. J. Cornelius, Pro
fessor of Philosophy at Lucknow
University, Lucknow, India, de
clared in Chapel yesterday
morning. "He is differentiated
only because of the aspects of
the problems that he faces and
the methods that he uses in solv
ing them."
Professor Cornelius said that
he was not speaking as a propa
gandist, but as a person inter
ested in better relations among
the peoples of the world. "At no
time has the world been divided
up by bitterness and hatred and
suspicion been so general, as it
is today," he said.
The Eastern outlook upon life
is that to secure freedom man
must conquer his passions de
sires, sorrows, joys.;. He must
have absolute academic freedom,
and the material must offer no
handicap to the spiritual. To
the man of the East that which
is real is the spiritual and not
the physical as it is to the West
ern man. He believes that the
thing that gives happiness is
not possessions but inward con
templation. To be free he must
be removed from physical bonds.
The Western mind has become
so stereotyped that it cannot
conceive of the unity of life as
the Hindu sees it.
Under the caste system as ex
plained by Mr. Cornelius the
people are dividd into four
classes. - The Brahmin class is
composed of the intellectuals,
who are not supposed to hold
property, since property is a
w ...... , t
material- thing tnat Dinas tne
development of the spiritual.
Very little attention is given to
the warrior class since the peo
ple of -India do not favor War.

SPRING QUARTER
SOCIAL WHIRL IS
WELL UNDERWAY
'13" Club Initiated Dancing
With Ball at Gym Last 1
Night. ':
SIGMA CHI'S TONIGHT
Masked Ball In Connection With
Dramatic Institute at Inn v
Tonight.
- The social season for the
spring quarter on the campus
was ushered in with a' flying
start last night when the "13"
Club entertained at its annual
ball in Bynum Gymnasium. The
dance, following a precedent set
by the club's affairs in former
years, was a distinct success. "
A large crowd of visiting girls
graced the ballroom last eve
ning and contributed infinitely to
the great success which marked
the re-opening of social activi
ties after the strenuous ordeal
of examinations. ' The dance was
open to all members of the
thirteen fraternities . represent
ed in the club (pledges included)
and indications were that most
of the lodges attended en masse
The floor, however, was not'toq
crowded and the dance was con-'
sidered delightful in all respects
The "13" Club figure was led by
Charlie Lipscombe, and Anne
Elizabeth Houston, assisted by
T. V. Moore and Miriam Rankin.
The Gym was tastefully dec
orated in the colors and emblems
of the unlucky number club,
Streamers of black and gold were
draped over the heads of the
dancers and pine trees, the sym
bol of: the club, were banked
around the walls.v The Buc
caneers made the music for the
dancing which lasted until one
A. M. The chaperones for. the
"13" Club dance were: Mrs,
Stacy, Mr. and Mrs. Woollen, Dr,
and Mrs. Caldwell, Dr. and Mrs.
Lawson.
The spring social season seems
to 'be substantially under way
for tonight the Sigma Chi fra
ternity will bring to a close the
week-end festivities with its
long anticipated dance. The
girls on the Hill for last night's
dance and others" who will no
doubt arrive today, should com
pose an incomparable collection
of feminine talent and make the
affair in the Sigma Chi house
tonight a fitting , climax to the
opening of a season destined to
be replete with outstanding so
cial events.: Kike Kyser and
His Orchestra has been engaged
for the evening. .'. -

According to a report
from the office of Dr. G.K.

trar of the University, the
grades for the winter quar- ,
ter's work will be given out
on next Thursday, March
31.
The unusually long delay
in giving them out, it is
explained, is caused by
many of the professors be
ing tardy in the filing of the

TWO SHORT TOURS
Sang at Leaksville Last Evening-
To High Point Friday.
-Go
The University Glee Club left
Chapel Hill Thursday afternoon
for Leaksville, N. C, where "they
sang under the joint auspices of
the Rotary and the Kiwanis
Club. Thirty-two men were
taken on the trip.
This, the first concert of the
spring quarter, will be followed
by a trip to High Point next Fri
day, where the Club will sing at
a luncheon meeting of the North
Carolina Federation of Music
Clubs. From High Point the
Glee Club will go on to Ashe
ville for a concert that has been
arranged by the" University
Alumni Association of that city.
The University of North Car
olina cinderpath stars meet
their first conference opponent
of the 1926 season here next
Saturday when the V. Pj I. Gob
blers invade the State. The meet
will mark the first clash with a
Southern Conference outfit this
year, and followers of the Tar
Heels by that meet will get a
fair idea of the chances they
have of successfully defending
their Conference title at Baton
Rouge in May.
The Gobblers were met and
decisively defeated early last
season, but the Virginia Tech
coach has built a powerful squad
this spring around such stars as
Montague and Lund, and they
are preparing to give the South
ern Champions a battle here
next week-end.' Montague is a
brilliant sprinter and was one
of the six men to reach the Con
ference finals last year in the
lentury and furlong. Lund holds
the Conference record in the dis
cus, and is a capable performer
in the other weight events.
To meet this combination
Coach Bob Fetzer has a squad
built around the veterans of
last year's title winning Tar
Heels. In Captain McPherson
he has one of the greatest sprint
ers )xi the South, and Elliott ran
the fastest mile credited to a
college man in the country last
year, and is showing even better
form this spring.

The -Tar Heel cinderpath art
ists will blow the lid off their
1927 track season this afternoon
when they journey over to Dur
ham to meet the Duke Blue Dev
ils. Men from both .institutions
have been workingout daily
since February and present indi
cations point to a very close
meet.
Carolina and Duke are about
the two most evenly matched
track teams in the state, and
although neither team has as yet
faced actual competition, they
are pointed for the clash today.
Duke has the strongest squad it
has had in the last six years,
and the Methodists are eager to
upset the team that marched
through to a Southern champion
ship last year. Carolina is un
usually weak in the field events,
whereas this is Duke's strongest
department. The margin of vic
tory, on whichever side it may
rest, should not be over ten or
fifteen points. v

PRESIDENT CHASE
IS RECUPERATING
Will Probably Be Able to Return To
His Executive Duties Soon.
President Chase, who has
been ill in the -McPherson hos
pital in Durham for the past
few days has returned to his
home on Franklin street, and is
rapidly recuperating. He has
been suffering with a bad case
of throat trouble, but he is now
on the road to normal health,
and with the coming of warmer
weather will resume his respon
sibilities in his office in the
South Building. .
The meeting of the Univer
sity trustee's committee on
buildings, which was supposed
to have been held last Monday
and -which was postponed be
cause of the president's inabil
ity to attend, has been scheduled
for next week. It is not known
what- steps will be taken by the
committee on buildings, but
their meeting has been antici
pated with a great deal of in
terest. - i
A recommendation that the
sentences of all the thirteen
men recently suspended by the
Student Council for gambling be
sustained is contained in the re
port of the committee of stu
dents appointed to investigate
the case, following an appeal by
the suspended men to the Stu
dent Body from the decision of
the Council at a mass meeting
March 10.
A report filed by the minority
in the committee declares that
the majority was inconsistent
in accepting the sentences im
posed by the Council and then
voting that the Council was not
justified in suspending the first
three men for failure to report
the other participants. It
states that "if the motion pass
ed by the majority condemning
the Council and its tactics is cor
rect then-the last ten men were
unjustly summoned before the
Council and unjustly condemned."
The committee reported that
it could not sustain the action
of the Council in compelling the
first three men brought up to
bring the other men involved in
the case to trial when they, had
jot previously been charged with
gambling. However, it stated
that it wished to be clearly un
derstood in this opinion, which
it feels is not inconsistent with
the?, recommendation that the
sentences imposed by the Coun
cil be affirmed.
Yesterday afternoon the com
mittee finished its report, which
will be presented to the Student
Body at a mass meeting in Mem
orial Hall Tuesday morning. A
bout fifty hours is the length of
time that it has spent in review
ing the evidence in the case and
formulating the report in the
two weeks since C. R. Jonas'
motion to create a committee to
review the case was passed by
the Student Body in the mass
meeting, last Friday week.
Three representatives appointed
by the presidents of the seven
classes and graduate schools
made up the committee of 21
members.
Appendages to the report gave
the reasons why the sentence of
