Speculation Rife as Hour of
Fleece Tapping Approaches
NEW POSSIBILITIES
Prometheus Adds More Names
to the List of Election
Possibilities.
CAM. MORRISON TO SPEAK
Ex-Governor of North Carolina
Will Be the Principal
Speaker Tonight.
(By Prometheus) . ,
Tonight will see the hopes and
expectations of some of our cam
pus celebrities realized; tonight
will see the aspirations of a few
men crushed into the dust, not
from an over-sight or lack, of
ability but because the Fleece
wills it, for they choose each
year the men whom they think
have been more prominent in
their; respective fields of endeav
or than others "for many are
called and few are chosen."
Probably the largest crowd that
has ever attended a Golden
Fleece tapping will be present
tonight at Memorial Hall to see
the hooded figures select those
whom the Fleece deems worthy
of this signal honor.
Topight at 8:30 o'clock in
Memorial Hall, President Chase
will introduce the Hon. Cam
eron Morrison, ex-governor , of
North Carolina and principal
speaker of tha occasion., ;v Mr.
Morrison's talk, the subject of
which has not been announced,
will be followed by a brief ac
count of the. history and purpose
of the Golden Fleece. After this
will come the tapping. President
Chase will entertain the ex-governor
during his sojourn in
Chapel Hill. Other than the
above, no statements regarding
the procedure of the Golden
Fleece tapping have been releas
.ed. . :- ;: -
The list of "certainties" and
"possibilities" published in Sat
urday's Tar Heel has caused an
endless amount of discussion,
for the major part, the campus
seems to re-act favorably to the
list and only here and there are
the virtues of some friend ex
tolled and deviation from the al
ready published list made.

PULITZER PRIZE
IS WON BY GREEN
"In Abraham's Bosom" Wins
National Honors for Phil

"In Abraham's Bosom" has
won for Paul Green the Pulitzer
Prize of $1,000 for the best play
f the year by an American
Playwright. This news reached
Chapel Hill by telegram yester
day. Mr. Green had been in
formed of his good fortune the
day before, but with a strict in
juction of secrecy. The metro
politan newspapers are carry
mg the story today, and two or
three of them telegraphed their
correspondents in Chapel Hill
yesterday to wire in a sketch of
Mr. Green. " :
Frederick H. Koch said last
night that he understood the
Judges who made the award
were Augustus Thomas, Walter

.Three original ; one-act nlavs
will be presented at 8:30 o'clock
Thursday and Friday -evenings
at the Playmaker Theatre, as the
Playmaker bill for the spring
quarter. The plays to. be given
are Quare Medicine, a comedy,
by Paul Green ; " The Marvelous
Romance of Wen Chun Chin, a
romantic comedy, by Ching Chin
Hsuing, and Mr. Perry Writes a
Play, a burlesque on Folk-play
writing, by Bill Perry. The bill
is light and amusing and should
prove to be thoroughly enjoy
able. Seats will be on sale at
Sutton & Alderman Tuesday and
Wednesday. Those holding
season tickets will be
exchange them for
seats.
Quare Medicine is
story of the shewish wife, who
makes life miserable,, not only
for her husband,' but for her old
father-in-law as well; of the
quack patent medicine man who
is able to cure all ills, the char
acter drawn from a loud mouth
ed old fellow who used to sell his
wares before the courthouse door
in Lillington during the sessions
of the court. The old quack
makes good and for once the col
ored water which he terms medi
cine does its work and the shrew
is tamed in the end. The parts
are played by Eral Thompson,
D wight Currie, , J. Z Hanner,
and Hubert Heff ner.
The Marvelous Romance of
Wen Chun Chin is based on a
folk tale of old China. The in
cidents are well known. Wen is
the heroine in the Thirty Fourth
Tale in The Ancient and Modern
Strange Stories by Hsioa Fa.
The serpent-in-the-cup illustra
tion has so frequently occurred
in- Chinese literature that it has
become the acknowledged term
for popular conception. A love
tale as a matter of fact should,
in spite of all adversities and
complications, end in a perfect
wav for it is ever the rule that
beauty should always be wedded
to genius as the ying. (female) is
always united with yang (male)
in the monastic "universe. Mr.
Hsiung has a charming sense of
humor and writes with naive
imagination. Parts aref played

Victory In Greensboro Meet
Hoyt Pritchett
. "Personally I believe that most
lawyers place property before
human rights," Frank C. Up
church, a student in the Law
School, asserted before the
North Carolina Club last night.
"Many men in. the profession
never consider the justice of a
case if they are well paid to be
unjust."; Mr. Upchurch's sub
ject was "The Lawyer's Place in
a Democratic State."
.. Last night's meeting marked
the last time that the club will
convocate this year. Members
of the organization declared last
night that the addresses at the
regularly fortnightly meetings
this year have been very good.
Horror of Lawyers .
"Perhaps from the beginning
of law people have had a horror
of lawyers," Mr. Upchurch stat
ed. "R. E. L. Saner says in a
recent article in the American
Bar Association Journal 'The
schools of America must save
America. ' The future of our
country is being determined to
day in the schoolrooms and col
lege halls of America. Any move
ment, therefore, that tends, to
promote the right sort of teach
ing is of prime importance at
this time'. What we need and
all countries . need is leaders,
those who are educated, who
know and understand the situa
tions to be faced, and who have
the ability to apply well-balanc
ed remedy to the new situations.
We need not expect to acconvK Fresh from a three-day rest
Tar Heel Staff to

There will be -an important
meeting of the Tar Heel staff
WednesdayTiight at the office of

This iss the first meeting of the
new staff and Editor Ashby is
very anxious that all the mem
bers attend the meeting as there
is some important matters to be
discussed.
plish the results that we would
like to unless we have such lead
ers capable of grasping new
ideas that arise and apply them
hv their lives and leadership.
"Probably no profession today
wields. as much influence as do
lawyers. Lawyers represent us
in Congress, Legislatures and. in
many other ways. Do they have
a clear knowledge of problejns
arising other than those in their
own profession? They have
knowledge of the just and the
unjust, but many neglect the
just in order to align themselves
with certain -parties for person
al accomplishments, not stop
ping to think of the influence
they might have in promoting a
more democratic government."

over the week-end, the Tar
Heel baseball team will begin
perhaps the hardest week of its
schedule this afternoon when it
meets , the strong V. P. I. nine
on Emerson meld at tour
o'clock,
Immediately following the
game with the Virginians, the
Tar Heels will leave on their an-
nual southern trip, on which
they will meet Georgia Tech in
Atlanta for a brace of games
Wednesday and Thursday and
the University of Georgia Bull
dogs in Athens on Friday and
Saturday.
That makes an even five games
in as many days against three of
the strongest teams in the con
ference. The games with the
Techmen and the Bulldogs will
undoubtedly have a great deal
to do with the rating which the
Tar Heels get in-the conference
this year, and Coach Ashmore
is pointing strongly toward vic
tory in these contests.
"Red" Ellison is slated for
mound duty today, although
there is a possibility that the
Tar Heel mentor may throw one
of his substitute moundsmett in
to action and save "Red" for
Wednesday's game with Tech.
The Georgia games are more im
portant and Coach" may save El
ison along with Westmoreland
for.the first two. .
The remainder of the lineup
will probably be the same as
that used in the Davidson game.
"' Dean Carroll leaves Tuesday
night for Harvard University,
where he will attend the ninth

Associaton of Collegiate Schools
of Business. The meeting will
be in session on May 5, 6, and 7.
KEEN COMPETITION
Gus McPherson Rounding into
Shape for the State Track
Championship Affray.
CAROLINA DOPED TO WlN
Coach Fetzer Primes Stars to
Win Sixth Consecutive
State Title.
The annual state intercollegi
ate track meet will be held in
Memorial Stadium at Greens
boro next Friday and Saturday,
while 2000 college girls cheer
their heroes to victory and the
Tar Heel track team is doped to
win its sixth consecutive state
championship. This is the first
of the meets to . be held in
Greensboro and will be the cli
max socially as well as athleti
cally of state cinderpath activi
ties for this year. For the last
five years the Tar Heel men
have won out easily y over all
"Big Five" opposition, but this
year both Duke and State are
showing considerable strength
and Davidson has some indivi
dual stars that are expected to
lower a few records. .
Duke was defeated by a single
point in the opening meetof the
season, and State gave the Tar
Heels plenty of opposition in the
dual meet in Raleigh Friday af
ternoon. Although the Tar Heels have
had a very successful season on
basis of meets won and lost, they
have not shown the overwhelm
ing, victories that last year's
state and southern champions
left in their wake. The average
nargin of victory this spring has
been only by a scant five points.
It is true that several outstand
ing teams have been taken in
tow by the Tar Heels, such as
Virginia, Georgia Tech, Georgia,
Duke, V. P. I. and State but in
the meet Friday , and Saturday
they .will have to cope with out
standing individual stars on the
teams they have not met.
Coach Bob Fetzer plans to
spend every moment between
now and Friday in priming his
stars for the meet. He is pin
ning his faith and hopes of a
sixth championship on a num
ber of Veterans, such as Captain
McPherson, Elliott, Pritchett,
