tivities, according to members of that
group.
Each year this group of campus
leaders is entertained by the Univer
sity at 'a banquet at which time the
group discusses at length the prob
lems that relate directly to student
life. Although this group does 'not
have any power to act on the recom
mendations brought before it, the dis
cussions by the student leaders is in
strumental in putting the issues be
fore the entire student body. A
C. R. Jonas, President of the Stu
dent Body, has appointed three com
mittees which are supposed to report
and make their recommendations at
the meeting Monday night. The Com
mittee on Student Government, which
was appointed following a motion by
Norman Block that the system -of
Student Government be carefully ana
lized by a committee which would
then report its finding to the student
body, has been studying the problem
for some timeand its finding will be
discussed at the meeting of the Stu- j
dents Activities Group.
Two other committees are also to
report at this time. One is studying
the inauguration of student ( of ficers
and vill bring in its findings concern
ing the most logical time of the year
to install new officers. The other
committee is to propose some method
of handling the budget and . finances
of student government here. At pres
ent, it is reported, the major portion
of this expense is borne by the Uni
versity. The meeting of this group of stu-
dent leaders and faculty men' will be
in the form of a supper1 'at the Caro
lina Inn Monday at 6 o'clock.
Rev. J. Lewis Thornburg, pastor
of the Durham Lutheran church, will

T. Wingate Andrews, President of
the North Carolina Educational
board and Director of Public Instruc
tion of High Point, has accepted an
invitation to give Monday the first
of a series of addresses which will
make up the chapel programs for the
rest of the school year.
Under the plans that has been out
lined by Dean Bradshaw, Mr. An
drews will talk to the freshmen on
the subject of the advantages that are
open to young college men and wom
en in the field of public instruction.
Mr. Andrews has quite a great deal
of experience in his field and his ad
dress should be of particular interest
to students in the School of Educa
tion. 1
After the regular chapel period an
open floor discussion will be held for
the people who do not have an eleven
o'clock class and for those who would
desire to have a special conference

Graham Memorial Building to
Be Thrown Open this Quarter
-o-
Graham Memorial building, long
awaited by the student body, will be
opened some time this quarter, ac
cording to an. announcement from
the offices of Atwood and Nash,
University architects. Graham Mem
orial is to be used as a recreation
center.
A sub-committee of the Graham
Memorial Building committee has in
hand the question of furnishing the
building. A survey of the require-
Lments of the center will be made to
the Building Committee and it will be
furnished and opened at the, earliest
possible date.
The delay in building which has
caused much caustic comment on the
campus is due to a condition which
is uncontrollable. Most of the money
used for the Memorial is in the form
of pledges and subscriptions. This
The first University Concert for the
year will be given in Memorial Hall
Sunday afternoon at four o'clock.
This concert was announced as a
faculty concert before Christmas, and
the' original program was composed of
groups by Mr. "Weaver, Mr. Troxell,
and Mr. McCorkle, all of the Univer
sity department of music. Due to the
unavoidable absence of Mr. Troxell
at this time, the program has been
changed, however, and only Mr. Weav
er and f.lr. McUorkle will appear m
concert. '
The program consists of two groups
of numbers by each of the musicians.
One group of Mr. McCorkle's violin
solos is made up of several new num
bers by Fritz Kreisler. One group of
piano numbers to be played by Mr.
Weaver are. new compositions by
Scriabine, "the Russian Chopin."
These numbers are especially inter
esting as examples from the Russian
modernist school, and as compositions
of the only one of the late Russian
composers whose place as one of the
immortals is almost assured.
Concerts have been arranged for
one Sunday during each month of the
remaining . school year, and will be
given as announced from time to time.
Plans had been made for similar con
certs last quarter but were abandoned
because of various complications aris
ing. The February concert will be
given by the University Band.
"If we were to search the.'world's
literature and probe the minds for an
idealisticmotto to guide American
journalism, we could do no better
than take the slogan that adorns the
seal of the state of North Carolina,,
'to be, not seem,' "declared Marlen E.
Pew, well known New York journa
list and principal speaker at the an
nual banquet of the fourth Newspa
per Institute held at the Carolina , Inn
Thursday night under the auspices of
the North Carolina Press Association
and the University.
Mr. Pew asserted that editorial
writers of the nation can do as much
as anybody toward lifting the horizon
in these complex times, and that he
regarded it as a solemn duty for them
to do so. He pointed out that with
the numerous problems which must
be solved' in the near future the edi-'
torial writer never lacks for a sub
ject.
Revive Simple Virtues
"This is the materialistic age," he
declared, "and the average man's
eyes are on the ground. There is in
the news some evidence of racial de
cadence which is startling to thought
ful people. The call of the day is. for
higher standards " of truth, beauty,
justice-objects that thrill men's souls,
and lead to a better life." The speak
er stated that . the greatest need is
for printed and publicly spoken words
intended for the stimulationTof simple
virtues, and for the revival of those
spiritual values which in life do much
to improve the state of human exis
tence. The New York city editor of Edi
tor .and Publisher, gave statistics
showing that there are now 2,000 daily
newspapers and 40 Sunday newspa
pers in the United States with a total
circulation which exceeded 36,000,000
daily and 24,X)00,000 Sunday. He
showed that the daily papers afford
an average of two copies for every
dwelling on ..the land.
Mr. Pew told of an investigation
which was carried out by. Dr. E. E.
Slossom, director of Science Service,
for the purpose of showing what, in
the science field, people preferred to
read about. Contrary to the general
expectation the preference was for
two extremely remote subjects as

New Book of Plays

On Advance Orders
A new volume of one- act plays of
Paul Greens' entitled In the Valley,

of New York. The entire first edi
tion has been taken by orders, ac
cording to information from Barrett

,It is said that green quiets the
nerves, but a roll of long green some
times excites them, too. . '
The chapel programs for the next
two quarters will take a new form
which will make them more interest
ing to the Freshmen and which will
invite and attract a number of upper
classmen, according to an announce
ment made from Dean Bradshaw's
office yesterday afternoon.
Three days a week will be given to
this program which will consist of
talks by well known men on the sub
jects of vocation, avocation, and. edu
cation. The Monday morning chapel
periods will be devoted to talks by
prominent North Carolina citizens
who will give the Freshmen some idea
of their profession and review the
opportunities in their fields.
The Wednesday periods will be filled
by some .men 6f letters who will lec
ture on the more refined points such
as Music, Fine Arts, Literature, etc.
Culture will be the predominating sub
ject in all the lectures on these days.
A number of University men have
been secured to deliver addresses on
the Fridays, on which day the dis
cussion will be devoted to some form
of education, either the' advantages or
the opportunities which.may be deriv
ed from college life. The chairman
