HOLMES REPLACES
ROYALLiS KALIF
Change in Lead Made in Wigue
and Masque Production
Synopsis Given.
Urban T. Holmes of the University
French department was recently cast
as the Kalif of Kavak in the produc
tion by that name to be presented here
November 8 and 9 by the Wigue and
Masque. This character was to have
' been played by Norman Royal who
now finds ' himself unable to appear
in the production because of absence
in connection with work in the school
of engineering.
' Mr. Holmes, popular actor in play
maker circles, appeared in "The Bar
ber of Saville" given here last spring
by the French department. With this
change in cast, the development of the
production is making most rapid
strides, stated the direetbr in a re
cent interview. P. J. Weaver ex
pressed great satisfaction at the way
the play is shaping itself and is great
ly pleased with -the talent, he has to
work with this year. He is also
pleased with the new lead, and pre
dicts a success for Mr. Holmes, a
player of great ability " along com
edy lines.
"Every chorus-girl a perfect gen
tleman" is the catch phrase of the
Wigue and Masque presentations.
This holds good for the eighteen mem-
.. bers of the "Kalif of Kavak" chorus
who are displaying great capabilities
as "ladies." " , ; .
TVit rklnv itself is a laue-hable farop
in an oriental background. It is cen
' tered around , two American women
tourists who are kidnapped for the
harem of a fickle oriental potentate
Gene Irvin carries the role of the fair
daughter of Bill Atlee, and both find
themselves about to become the lat
est additions to an ample oriental
household.
The sweetheart of the girl comes
to the rescue as a harem slave, and
creates quite a novel situation when
the Kalif throws over his latest ac
quisitions to gain the. affection of the
new arrival. After three acts filled
with ludicrous situations, , and the
modernization of the harem by the
practical American mother, the whole
party is rescued by the consul and a

Dr. Mangum in Canada
Dr. C. S,. 'Mangum ,is in Montreal,
Canada, to represent the University's
medical school at the meeting of the
Association of American Medical Col
leges, "
Above are pictured the seven fighting Tar Heels' who compose the Carolina line and have added to its description the adjec
tive "impregnable." Their play has been the most outstanding feature of the season, and mention is already being-made of jseveraf
of its members for all-southern positions. Schwartz, center, has especially been predicted to receive one of the coveted mythical positions.
The line shown' here is composed from left to right of: McDamel, right end; Warren, right tackle; Donahoe, right guard;
Schwartz, center; Schuler, left guard; Morehead (captain), ieft tackle; and Sapp, left end.
o " ;
In - the next few years came his co
authorship with Richard Hovey in
"Songs f rom Vagabondia," "More
Songs from Vagabondia." "A Bo
hemian open-road friendliness and
daring" is the quality that, according
to one commentator, distinguishes
the style of Carman and Hovey in
these vagabond songs. "Theirs is
the poetry of college youth, off to
gether on a vacation, roughing it
some, seeking adventures in action or
amours, enamoured of nature's mys
tery and beauty, holding conventions
(except fraternity - conventions) a
good -deal in abeyance if not in con
tempt,, and united in friendship that
is less amorous but more various and
enduring than love. Gay, boisterous,
youthful poetry, resounding with the
shouts and -derisive laughter of two
revolters from mid-Victorianism and
the albuniinous American imitations."

HESTER OPENS MEETING
State College and Meredith'Joint
Hosts to College Journalists
Baskerville Pictures Campus
Newspaper Extremes.
"That a college editor should be a
leader of all campus activities was
the gist of the address of President
H. L. Hester, editor of the "Chronicle"
Duke University, before the conven
tion of the North Carolina Collegiate
Press Association, which opened its
tenth semi-annual session Friday
morning at 9 o'clock in the Y. M. C.
A. auditorium at State College.
"All these benevolent friends of
mankind have arisen as .great ' insti
tutions in our midst. The writer who
writes and does nothing more is a
poor writer. He' is becoming profes
sional and artificial. The reason why
we are bored with so much artificial
ity in our literature, teaching and
preaching, is because our writers, our
teachers and preachers have Jbecome
the slaves of their profession.
The mere idea of professionalism
hiakes writers bookish, a preacher
theoretical, and our teachers im
practical. Any man to be successful
in his profession must mix: in the
hurly-burly and rough and tumble
of the affairs of the time.
Press Civilizing Influence
"The professional press is the
greatest civilizing influence in the
world, and the college press is the
greatest single aim of extension of
the college or university. The ; whole
state should become permeated with
the cultural and intellectual atmos
phere that is to be found on the col
lege campus, for that is the real
meaning of the word institutional
ism." Miss Anne F. Johnson,
business
manager of the

CHEERIOS TO BE
ON SIDELINES IN
RALEIGH TODAY
Pep Organization Has Practiced
Faithfully in Preparation for
Annual State -Game.
If Carolina, fails to win today, it
will not be the fault of the famous
Cheerios, who are going over in full
strength after a full week's work to
make a good showing.
Meetings have been held each night
this week, and considerable work has
been done on the football field. The
State College sbng has been learned
by the cheerers, as well as the Wolf
pack's favorite yell. More Carolina
cheers have been memorized, and im
provement made in the rendition of
old ones.
The organization will go to Raleigh
in a body on the special train, and
have a section of seats reserved for
them. Between halves, the Cheerios
will go out on the field, form the
letters N.C. S., sing the State College
song, and probably . give their yell.
The "S" will then change to a "U,"
making N. C. U., and Carolina's prais
es will be sung and shouted to the
world.
Much comment was causes by the
work of he Cheerios at the Virginia
game last year, and the members are
expecting to make fully as good a
showing at the game today which is
considered by many the. season's big
gest in North Carolina.
Error Is Made in
Announcing Pledges
To Campus Sororities
Members of the two women's
fraternities on the campus have
been in something of a furor since
the appearance in Thursday's Tar
Heel of the announcement of the
pledges to their respective lodges,
with the pledges assigned to' the
wrong groups.
The -names appeared in reason
able correctness as far as spell
ing and details were concerned,
but Pi Beta Phi was listed as pin
ning' up Chi Omega's pledges, and
vice versa. The exact source of
the mix:up has not been located,
but the Tar Heel desires at" this
time to make amends for the er
ror unwittingly committed. The
names , as they should have ap
peared are as follows: .
Pi Beta Phi fraternity an
. nounces the pledging of Miss
Margaret Creitzburg, Rock Hill,
S. C; Miss Helen Dartch, Golds

Powerful and Swift Game
In Raleigh This Afternoon.
The University of North
Carolina will move to Raleigh
today 1 At least the student
body will go, and after all the
students make up the Univer
sity. By noon today the cam
pus will be a vast deserted ex
panse of grass' and lofty build
ings, and practically every loyal
Tar Heel will be ready to cheer
the Carolina eleven to victory
over the Techmen.
The annual grid classic - between
the Tar Heels and Techmen is card
ed to start at 2:30 o'clock on Riddick
Field at State, and what a battle it
promises to be! Of course it goes
without saying that these traditional
rivals always put on an exhibition
worth seeing, but today's game prom
ises more than ordinary.
Gus Tebell has developed the most
powerful machine State College has
had in more than a decade. Not
since the days of Van Brocklin and
MacDougall has the Wolfpack bayed
so long and so vigorously at the
gates of a Southern championship.
This year State has . its McDowell,
and the Florida lad bids fair to rate
an All-Southern berth.
Brillian play so far this season has
netted four wins and one reverse in
a schedule that included games with
such teams as Furman's Purple Hur
ricane, Clemson's fighting Tigers,
Florida's own Alligators, the Wake
Forest Deacons and Elon's best
Christian team in several seasons.
But does that "faze" the Tar Heels?
It does not. The Heels themselves
made a big dent in, the Southern Con
ference dope last week, and thety are
planning on digging still further into
enemy territory this week. The squad
is in fine shape. EvenBilly Ferrell,
brilliant fullback whq was out of the ,
Georgia Tech encounter, may get into
action again today. ' .
All this week, even into darkness,
the Carolina coaches have been push
ing the Tar Heels in practice, and it
may be woe unto the Techmen today.
If no Carolina plans go awry it will
be their downfall."
Coach Collins announced his prob
able line-up today as follows: Sapp,
left end; Captain . Morehead left
tackle; Farris, left guard; Schwartz,,
center;' Donahoe, right guard; War
ren, right tackle; Presson, right end;
Whisnant, quarterback; Ward, left
half; Young, right half; and Shuford,
fullback.
