'"' SEASON TICKETS FOR ATTRACTIONS MAY BE HAD NOW Program of Attractions for This Term Includes Four Enter tainments Tickets Are Priced at $1.50 Contrary to persistent reports circulated two weeks ago, Pro f essor Horace H. Williams will not marry Miss Miriam Bonner, hut has adcnted her. A letter received here several days ago discredits the reports of his ap proaching "marriage and gives the news of the adoption. The letter, from London, states that Dr' Williams has adopted Miss Bonner. Dr. Har ry W: Chase, President of the University, who is spending the summer abroad, and Dr. J. M. Bell, of the University chemis try department, who is doing re search work in England, were witnesses at the procedure. Miss Bonner, who is original ly of California, was formerly Assistant professor of English at North - Carolina - College in Greensboro, and spent some time in Chapel Hill before going to England. It was here that Dr. Williams met her. Dr. Williams and Miss Bon ner plan to leave London Sep tember 6, and will arrive in Chapel Hill before the opening of the University in the fall. The varied yet balanced pro gram of instruction, entertain ment, and social activities that was carried out during the first term of Summer School will be continued through the second term. The program of entertain ment, or the "attractions" as they are more commonly called, is made up of four numbers. Again there will be a season ticket allowing general admis sion to all the attractions for the second term. The price of this ticket is $1.50, which will afford holders a saving of $2.50 above the total price of single admission tickets for the four numbers. On Wednesday of next week, July 27, the program will be opened by the De Sayn String Quartet, of Washington, D. C. The group that will play this concert is trained by Miss Elena De Sayn, a Russian violinist who is now living in Washing ton.1 Miss De Sayn has given a number of concerts in the South and has established a high repu tation for herself ad for the artists who play with her. The next number on the pro gram will come on the evening of August 4 when Karl Jansen, the well known Swedish lectur er and popular entertainer, will give his lecture V "The Land of the Midnight Sun." Mr. Janseri has appeared be fore the Summer School here a number of times and has always delighted the audiences that have greeted him. The Devereux Players, a cel (Continued on page four) ELENA DE SAYN'S STRING QUARTET HERE WEDNESDAY First Attraction of This Term Will Be Delightful Musi cal Concert k WARREN AND MAYLE TO FIGHT TOMORROW NIGHT Addison K. O. Warren and Chief Mayle of Fort Bragg will meet in a return battle of four rounds at Fort Bragg tomorrow night. The Carolina fighter and Mayle fought in Durham, July 4, with Warren winning a new s paper decision over the Indian. What the outcome of the bout tomorrow night will be, is uncer tain. Warren declares that . he is confident that he can knock the soldier out. The fight at Durham between the two was slow and full of clinches. Chief Mayle represented the American expeditionary forces at the Olympic meet in Paris in 1924. K. O. Warren is amateur heavyweight champion of the United States. Elena de Sayn, director of the Sayn School of the Art of the violin, is heading the String Quartette that appears in Mem morial Hall July 27 as the first number on the program of at tractions for the second term. This marvelous woman violin ist is a graduate of the Royal Conservatory in Leipzig. Al though a native of Russia, she has made her home at Washing ton, D. C, for the past three years and is well known in America for her concert and pedagogical work. In training the quartette that is fast springing into national and international prominence, Miss de Sayn bore in mind the fact that for the past few years a great deal has been done in America to promote music writ ten for string instruments in ensemble. Some of the finest music has been composed for the combination of two violins, vi ola and cello. Its -tonal effect was meant to give the listener the highest enjoyment, because the alternative prominence of the instrument in question gives that exquisite tonal color ing lacking in the performance of any one instrument. Miss De Sayn has given a number of concerts in the south, and has established a high repu tation for herself and for the artists who play with her. The aggregation will undoubtedly score an unusual success with the summer school audience that will greet it next Wednesday. Miss Doris Kelley, of Jones- boro, sister of Walter Kelley, spent the past week-end visiting here. ;.j CAROLINA GLEE CLUB DELIGHTS LARGE AUDIENCE Farewell Concert By Choral Group Well Received; Ne gro Spirituals Feature .

High school students of today have no clear-cut conception of the difference between right and wrong, Harry F. Comer, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., told Bertie County Kiwanians at Coleraine last Sat urday in an address to that or ganization. Mr. Comer based his state ment on tests showing that 64.4 of the present high school population react to life in a less er or greater degree of dishon esty, and regarded this lack in character stamina and a ten dency to follow the line of least resistance and current popular ity as the two biggest obstacles confronting the , building of American civilization. Mr. Comer's address centered around the Kiwanis slogan "We Build," and dwelled particularly on the loose tendencies in char acter strength evidenced among today's high school pupils; , . Another indication of a weak ening character pointed out by Mr. Comer is the mania for . "passing the buck" and the love of ease and idleness, together with a shifting to the line of east resistance. The slogan the pupils of today are acquiring, he said, is "Learn to get by with it." Y. M. C. A. ON JOB FOR THIS TERM Dances, Vespers and Other Ac tivities Continue During Second Session Ex-Editor on the Wing Post cards from J. T. Madry, editor of the Tab Heel during the past year, state that he is having a great time on his trip through New York, New Eng land, and Southeastern Canada. Mr. Madry intends to attend the second term of the summer school. Through the second session of summer school the religious and recreational programs of the Y. M. C. A. will continue practically as they have been during the first session. All the activities conducted under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. will provide the same for the students of the sec ond half that those of the first half enjoyed. The vesper services are still scheduled at 7:00 o'clock each evening except Saturday and Sunday. Formerly these ser vices just after the evening meal have been a greater success dur ing the second session. Gerrard Hall aided by the ser vices ot many large windows and numerous electric fans awaits the weekly Friday eve ning address. These speeches are educational as well as entertaining. The Wednesday evening play of this session will be more cor rectly the daily play of next ses sion, for Prof. H. D. Meyer, di rector of the special School of Recreation and Physical Educa tion, will provide for the pro gram of games on other eve nings. Also the dance program will continue unchanged. There will be a short dance every Tuesday and Thursday, a long dance ev ery Saturday and each Friday evening before the classless Sat urdays. The orchestra has been enlarged to nine pieces. Thus .... "Ham Whitaker and His Eight Bacons" will make the "peppy" dances "peppier."
