GLEE CLUB IS ANOTHER
FIRST
ARE YOU THRIFTY?
One hears so much concern
ing wherein the University of
North Carolina leads, excells or
ranks with the first that when
another thing bobs up it is taken
for granted or not heeded at all.
Within the past decade this in
stitution has striven forward
with such speed that even staid,
philosophic and reserved pedants
are swamped with a spirit of
boosterism and find themselves
magnifying with great gusto
records and achievements of the
University. "
The particular thing about the
progress and achievements of
the University is that this lead
ership and excellence have not
been limited to one or two fields.
While the institution's rank
among American universities
was hitting the first line, while
its work in research was being
accepted by others as second to
none, and while Mencken of Bal
timore, along with legion of
others, have been acclaiming the
University for being the "one
oasis of the Sahara," there has
come another distinctive success
for which the people of this
state are proud of its successive
accomplishments.
When Paul John Weaver
came to North Carolina some six
years ago, the Carolina glee club
was in its pleasant peurile stage
of mandolins, ukuleles and oth
er string instruments. Stepping
in line with the renascent spirit
of the time and day, the new di
rector of the club felt that the
people of this state were pre
pared, or could be, to appreciate
better music. He remade the
glee club ; first into a chorus and
an orchestra, later dropping the
orchestra entirely. ' Popular mu
sic was taken from the repor
toire and the club became a
choral group.
It is a matter of history of
the brilliant successes of the
University glee club at Kansas
City and New York. Monday
"night of this week, the group
sang to over 1,200 people in Ra
leigh. Many were turned away
when the customary sign, 'S. R.
0.,' was hung at the box office
of the auditorium. Next Satur
day the club sails from New
York for its European tour.
To PaulJohn Weaver goes the
praise for establishing a glee
club, a chorus, here at the Uni
versity that ranks with that of
Harvard, the two being in a
class to themselves in this coun
try. Mr. Weaver and his sing
ers will establish for the Uni
versity a reputation abroad that
can neither be bough with af
fection or gold. And with Mr.
Weaver and the glee club goes
that priceless, intangible thing,
superb achievement.
Season tickets - for the sum
mer attraction of the second
term go on sale today. ' The pro
gram of this , session includes
four attractions; namely, the
De Sayn String Quartet, Karl
Jansen, The Devereus Players,
and the Carolina Playmakers. In
other words, the program com
prises of a musical concert, a
distinguished lecturer, and two
play producing companies.
For these four superb attrac
tions season tickets have been
priced at $1.50. .; A ticket at this
price saves the purchaser over
$2.50 and dispenses with the in
convenience of purchasing tick
ets for each, performance. It
will be found to be the case that
the cost of two attractions will
more than pay for a season tick
et. Hence the real saving that
is effected by getting a ticket for
all the attractions is quite obvi
ous.
The director of the summer
school annually books these en
tertainments for the entertain
ment and edification of the sum
mer school students at a loss.
A deficit in this branch of the
summer school is inevitable as
long at the tickets for entire
group of attractions are sold at
such a low price. There are no
"fillers" on hese programs.- By
the term "filler" we mean a
cheap performance booked to
lighten the expenses of the series
and to take the place of a higher
priced entertainment.
Thrifty summer school stu
dents, seeking entertainment
and culture at the same time,
will take advantage of the offer
and secure season tickets for
the full program. Are you a
thrifty seeker of entertainment
and culture?

Seeings as how this is the

sessions, or is it?, I thought I
would get a rest from my duties
but the editor is a hard man and
he says he must fill up the Tar

He's never had anything in

STRANGE PLANT
FOUND BY PARTY
Coker and Others Locate Spec
imen of Venus Flytrap Plant
In South Carolina
A botanical party headed by
Dr. Wt C. Coker, professor of
botany at the University of
North Carolina, has located near
Myrtle Beach, S. C, an authen
ticated specimen of the Venus
flytrap plant, the insectiverous
herb known to scientists ' as
Dionaea Muscipula, according to
news reaching here today from
Myrtle Beach. - v
The Ventis flytrap plant is a
bisected leaf, with a set of fins,
hair-like tentacles. When an in
sect comes in contact with the
leaf, it folds its two halves about
it, catching it as in between the
parts of a book, and digests its
victim by juices it exudes. The
plant has heretofore beeen cred
ited with being indigenous only
to the soil of Wilmington and its
environs.
Dr. Coker's party included W.
Bedford Moore, of Columbia, and
Miss Holland Davis. Two years
ago Mr. Moore was brought to
the spot where the plant was
located, by James Henry Rice,
Jr., who had seen the strange
plant many years before. The
earliest report on record was
made about 150 years ago when
Charles Gotesworth Pinkney
told of having seen specimens
of this rare carniverous plant,
but, according to authorities, no
verified specimen from South
Carolina is anywhere recorded
in the literature of botany.
Dr." Coker brought in a num
ber of specimens which he plans
to send to botanical institutions
of this and foreign countries.
Misses Kathleen Johnson and
Mary Hammer, of High Point,
visited Miss Helen Johnson, stu
dent here during the first term
of Summer School, during the
week-end. .

An arrangement, new in this
state, revealing ' a cooperative
spirit between the University of
North Carolina, Duke Univer
sity, and Wake Forest College,
will be put into effect next fall.
Dr. W. K. Boyd, head of the
department of history in Duke
University, is leaving to give
lectures at Harvard University
on southern history. During his
absence his work will be done by
R. D. W. Connor, of the history
department of the University of
North Carolina, and Dr. C. C.
Pearson, of Wake Forest's his
tory department.
Dr. Connor will go over to
Durham once a week during the
first semester to give courses in
American colonial history.
Fowler of Wells College
Added to the Faculty
The department of romantic
languages announces the ap
pointment of Thomas H. Fow
ler, Ph. D., as an assistant pro
fessor in German. Dr. Fowler
was recently Professor of Ger
man at Wells College, Aurora,
New York. The recent growth
of the German department has
necessitated an assistant pro
fessor, and Dr. Fowler is well
qualified for the position.

One fellow the other week
thought that just because he had
broadcasted oats on the farm
back homei he would make a
good radio entertainer.
He thinks that just because he
came from the farm, all he has
to do is call and the chickens
will come running.
This is entirely possible but
he ain't the only rooster in the
barn-yard. .

Prof. Oscar Coffin and C. W.

Sunday, visiting Pinehurst, Ab

other points. They report a
fine crop of Sandhill peaches,
now at the peak of the shipping
season.

R.. K. writes me that he
thought the cigaret and drink
tax , in South Carolina- was for
the roads. He said the only
thing he didn't like about the tax
was that it filled his pockets with
pennies and the rough roads
made 'em jangle.
Which for some reason, re
minds us of the crack some wag
pulled about the women in Hol
lywood. He says that some
women run to extremes and
that others run to extremities.
All women believe in love at
first sight, especially if he drives
