WUNSCH CHOSEN
PRESIDENT AGAIN
Four Narrowly Escape Stone
Pounding; Now Toot JVarnirig
A hirsute hoisting tale, nar
rated by a' quartet of students,
of being in a literal shower of
stones last week has led to the
practice of violently sounding
the whistle of the steam shovel
down in the ravine where the
new Kenan Memorial Stadium is
being constructed when a dyna
mite discharge is to be fired.
It is narrated that these four
boys were nonchalantly wan
dering southward in the direc
tion of the stadium site, which
is now being excavated at a very
rapid rate, when out of the blue
a veritable rain of stones began
to descend. Seeking shelter and
safety among the pines and the
sheds of the construction shacks,
they avoided being hurt by the
falling stones, which were the
result of a blast set-off to dis
lodge the rock ledge that im
pedes the digging. One of the
near-victims of the stone show
er declared that he had gone
through all the experiences of
those in the "Big Parade."
"Which is worse, lead and steel
or stone?" he argued. Any
way it was a lucky escape.
Now the steam-shovel oper
ator sounds violently his whistle
for several seconds before a
blast is to be set off. Spectators
interested in the progress being
made on the new athletic field,
are continually wandering down
there to take a look. The prac
tice of warning those who are
ignorant that they are about to
be subjected to a heavy shower
of stones, which Dr. Collier Cobb
would probably say were formed
in the Algonquin period and of
about a hardness of eight, will
avert, possible injuries.

CHAPEL EXERCISES HELD ONLY ON
' MONDAY FOR REST OF THIS QUARTER
Triangular Debate
Preliminaries Will
Be Held On April 12
Preliminaries for the Caro
lina-Kentucky-Northwestern tri
angular debate on the Latin
American policy of the United
States will be held April 12, at
7:00 o'clock in the law building.
The debate is scheduled to be
held May 4 and 5.
In the system to be used, each
school will pick one man for each
side of the query. The split
teams will hold a series of joint
debates. The first, of these is to
be held at Lexington, Ky and
the second will be staged in Cin
cinnati, Ohio and broadcasted
from the studio of the Crosley
Radio Corp. A third debate will
probably be held at Berea, Ky.
There will be no Chapel exer
cises during the remaining eight
weeks of this quarter except on
Monday, Dean F. F. Bradshaw
chairman of the faculty commit
tee on Chapel arrangements, an
nounced yesterday morning.
Short deveotional exercises will
be held every morning in Ger
rard Hall under the auspices of
the Y. M. C. A., but attendance
at them will not be compulsory.
Freshman attendance at the
Monday Chapel programs will be
carefully checked, according to
Mr. Bradshaw, and three ab
sences will .automatically place a
Freshman on general probation.
This means that any unexcused
absence from ,, class, gym, or
Chapel will lead to suspension
from the University.
In discussing the new ruling,
Dean Bradshaw said that it was
not a radical or a permanent
change. "Chapel exercises dur
ing the spring quarter are not
as essential as during the rest
of the year," he stated. "We
don't want to force students to
attend anything that is not es
sential. The change is by way
of official recognition of points
made by members of the Fresh
man Discussion Group in a re
cent discussion of the question."
Mr. Bradshaw urged that the
students attend the devotional
exercises in Gerrard Hall as of
ten as possible. "Many students
here are growing up in ignorance
of one of the essentials of a
well-rounded life. A knowledge
of the Bible is imperative to a
full appreciation of English lit
erature, and to a proper outlook
upon life."
Paul Green read his play The
Field God Sunday' night in the
Playmaker Theatre .to the larg
est crowd that has attended these
Sunday night readings this year.
Prof essor Green did not read the
enti re play but; selected some of
the most interesting parts and
wove these in with the rest of
the play by telling the connect
ing links. The Field God in its
entire form can be read in the
volume of his two long plays re
cently published by McBride.
There are several copies in the
Bull's Head Book Shop.
In addition to the reading
there was a concert of negro ma
sic furnished by two negro quar
tets, one, the Lily Whites, a fe
male quartet from the Method.
ist church, and the other, the
Silver Tongues, a male quartet
from' the Rock Hill Baptist
church. The selections were
"I've Never Been to Heaven,"
"Roll Jordan Roll," "He Took
My Sins Away," "Look Away
in the Heavens," "Go Down

"Ain't It a Shame to Dance on

Going Up to Live with God."
A collection was taken up for
the two churches with the re
sult that $56 was secured which
was evenly divided between the
two churches.

Man Not Christian
Unless In Politics
Woodhouse Says True Democracy Is
Aim of Christianity.
"A man cannot be a Christian
unless he is in politics," for he
must "attend his civic duties,"
vote, and see that the right men
get in office, said E. J. Wood
house, Professor of government,
speaking on Christianity and
Politics before the Epworth
League Sunday night.
The speaker believes that "we
are in a disgraceful condition,
because the best citizens, who
plead that they wish to steer
clear of "dirty politics," fail to
put into their government the
necessary cleanliness and sub
sequently thwart the aim of
Christianity, which is true dem
ocracy.1 "
Mr. Woodhouse also , upheld
the speakers of the "Human
Relations Institute," in that the
United States is playing a dis
graceful part in Mexico and
Nicaragua.
The Student Body will meet at
Chapel period this morning at
Memorial Hall to consider the
report of the student commit
tee on the action of the student
council in the recent affair in
volving the suspension of
thirteen students for gambling.
At this time it will be the privi
lege of the Student Body to dis
cuss the report of the Commit
tee as freely as it may wish, and
either accept or reject the re
port. . It is expected that the
meeting should be able to con
sider the report within the or
dinary limits of Chapel period.
This report, which. was pub
lished in the Tar Heel for
Saturday, March 26, was the re
sult of oyer fifty hours research
on the part of the committee of
twenty-one, which was composed
of three representatives appoint
ed by the presidents of the seven
classes and graduate schools.
This committee was appointed
to investigate the case as the
result of a mass meeting held
March 10 to consider the appeal
nade by the suspended men from
the decision of the .Council , to
the Student Body. " ; '
The report, in general, , rec
ommended that the sentences as
originally handed out by the
student council should ; be sus
tained. Although the report is
favorable on the whole, it dis
approved the steps taken by the ,
Student Council in compelling
the first three men brought up
to submit evidence as to other
men guilty of the same offense,
causing these men to be brought
to trial against whom there had
previously been no evidence.
Thus, these men were convicted
entirely on evidence that had
been coerced from the men
originally involved, it was con-
.ended. '
Tomorrow the final chapter
should be written into this fiery
incident in the student life of the
campus, it has Tollowed upon
some of the most interesting stu
dent affairs in years the
"Slaves" affair, the appearance
of the Faun, the Golden Fleece
controversy) arid it has man
aged to overshadow them all,
both from a local and a state
wide view-point.
