The body, composed of class, presi

at large, is attached to the motions
passed by the student leaders' group
Monday night regarding the proposed
convention. It represents the first
definite action taken upori-the mat
ter since a motion providing for it
was submitted by Norman Block and
passed at a mass meeting of the stu
dent body in Memorial Hall in con
nection with the appeals of the thir
teen men suspended for gambling by
the Student Council early in the
spring quarter. The motion suggest
ed the calling of a Student Govern
ment Convention before the school
year closed, but Sidney. Chappell, then
Student Body President, took no ac
tion upon it and the whole matter was
left in indecision until this fall. There
has been considerable discussion of
the advisability of calling a conven
tion this year, but the smoothness
with which student government has
functioned during the past quarter has
made it unnecessary, according to
most opinions expressed.
President Chase in speaking to the
student 'leaders at the meeting Mon
day night declared that events on the
campus during the fall quarter seenr

Monday night at Memorial Hall
five Hopi Indians presented a series
of ancient ceremonial dances, and re
enacted a tribal legend. These In
dians are touring the United States
under the direction of Mr. M. W. Bill
ingsley and his wife, Edythe Sterling,
who at one time was the champion
cow-girl of the southeast.
The program was built around the
heretofore very secret snake dance.
The Hopis are the oldest and most
aristocratic of all American Indians.
Thev were the cliff-dwellers. Their
v
ceremonies t were guarded with great
secrecy until missionaries heard of
their snake' dance, and then a move
ment was begun to Christianize the
tribe. Miss Sterling, who is now Mrs.
Billingsley, with her husband, brought
a group of the Indiansl)efore Con
gress and their strange, weird dances
were performed in front of the Cap
ijtol building. Comparative freedom
was secured for the tribe on account
of this demonstration.
The snake dance and the buffalo
dance were features of the program.
The Indians were dressed in -their an
cient ' costumes, with masked-head
pieces, and their esoteric dances,
stirring- and' barbaric, were accom
panied by the steady beat of a torn
torn, and with the wild, incoherent
soners and tribal calls. Live snakes
were used in the dance, and a smal
timber-fox was tne center ot a cere
monial : prayer-dance for rain. After
the dances a legend was interpreted
Three chiefs, suitors-of a princess
trv for supremacy with bows and
arrows. They quibble over distance
shot3, and the affair is characterized
by a definite degree "of humor, which
appeared to surprise " the : audience
The dances of these Indians are the
most primitive arid most basic of the
American folk-dramas.
After the program an ethnologica
and industrial exhibit was made, and
many articles, hundreds of years old
were, . explained by the Indians and
Mr.'Billingsley. The exhibit was com1
nosed of aueerlv-desiened blankets
weaved upon hand-looms " and dyed
with the liquid from watermelon seed,
and basket, bead, and silver work,
with a special display of prized pot-
tery. . ' ; , '
An informal reception was given
the Indians at the Playmaker Thea
tre after - the, dances. On the stage
before the visitors, Professor Fred
erick H. Koch, director of the Play
makers, was . given the first part of
his initiation into the tribe. Only a
few. white men have been taken in
the tribe, and Professor Koch was
surprised when the Indians made
knows, their, desire to invite him.
"Magnificent Fox" is. the Indian name
given Mr. Koch, and he selected Chief
Karswarzra as his tribal. father..
Seven dual meets and four inter
collegiate clashes comprise the Uni
versity of North - Carolina's tratk
schedule for 1928. Six of the dual
affairs are with members of, the
Southern Conference while the four
big meets are the Georgia Tech Re-
ays, Penn Relays, State 'Champion
ship Meet, and the Southern Intercol-
egiate Meet.
The Tar Heel cindermen have an
enviable record behind them for the
past five years, and with only nine

from bright. With vthe veterans

will be counted on in the remaining

lems in this University five years ago.
Political
1. Should the United States cancel
her War debt? .

amendment in its present form can
ever redeem its miserable failure; or
do you admit that it is a failure?

accounted for five of the probations,
which are to extend from January 16

that circumstances surrounding the
giving of the checks were beyond the
control of the men involved.

result of violation of bad check pro

guilty. His - suspension extends to

College, Humor magazine, making a
series of twenty-six pictures entitled
"College Humor," will film one epi
sode on the campus of the University
of . North Carolina. The exact date
has not been set but according to a
letter from J. M. Lansinger, publisher
of College Humor, the producing unit
will arrive about the last of April pr
the first of May.
The filming of an episode here has
been made possible through the Buc-J
caneer, the monthly comic, and Andy
Anderson, the editor, who has been
in communication with officials of the
motion picture venture and official
confirmation of the supposition that
a picture would be made here is evi
denced by a letter received yester
day by Mr. Anderson from Duane N.
Mowat of Hollywood who is super
vising the" filming of thev series. The
letter reads: - ,
. . Mr.. Lansinger, Mr. Swanson
and myself . have decided to include
the University of North Carolina in
our production plans but are unable
to advise you at" present the exact
date our producing unit will arrive.
However we will advise you of this
later. . ,
"We would be pleased to learn from
you if there are any special events on
the University calendar .that might be
interesting for us to film. " ;
"The picture filmed at the Univer
sity of North Carolina will be shown
throughout the world as the Univer
sity of North Carolina Edition of

This will be, probably, the first time
that the University in general has
gotten into the movies. There have
been many news reels made here but
all were of athletic nature and natur
ally dealt only with that subject. This
will give the entire student body, per
haps, a chance to get into the ' rea

students and professors may take
leading parts of the episode.

Senator Johnson States Three
Reasons for Non-Acceptance
of Proposal; Little Opposition.
Companionate marriage has at last
been hailed by the senators from the
East as the only salvation for the
many young men and women who are
afraid to venture out on the sea of
matrimony without first tasting of
its joys and hardships. The Phi As
sembly in their meeting Tuesday eve
ning passed upon the resolution intro
duced by the Ways and Means Com
mittee that "companionate marriage
be established as an auxiliary to the
present marriage system." However
this resolution was not passed with
out a number of heated discussions
between the many senators in session.
First, Senator J. M. Mewborn, in a
short speech, explained what . was
meant by companionate marriage.
Senator Nash Johnston immediately
arose and presented his three reasons
for not believing in this custom,
which is threatening to take America
by storm. He explained that the
main cause of the fall of Rome was
because the people of Rome put their
value' of living on the wrong thing.
He also argued that companionate
marriage was not true to nature, and
that if one had not entered into the
period of disillusionment which fol
lows the honeymoon, he had not had
chance to adjust himself to his bride,
and thus assure a happy , and pros
perous old age. In other words, when
one has separated from his wife at
the end of the five years prescribed
by the companionate marriage agree
ment, he has acknowledged utter de
feat in the cause of being married,
and therefore wasted a good part of
his life in foolish and unproductive
pleasure.
. Senator. Wyeth Ray was against the
measure for it kept, in his opinion,
newly-married people from being re- -sponsible
to each other. He was
backed up in this belief by Senator
Whitfield Taylor. However, Senators
Morgan, Livingston, and Mewborn
disagreed with the opposers, and so
through their silver-tongued oratory,
the majority of the members were
swung over to the radical side and
the bill passed without very "much
opposition.
Immediately preceding this discus
sion the business had been attended
to. C. B. Calhoun of Durham, and E.
L. Hayw,ood, of Raleigh announced
their desire to become members of
the Philanthropic Society. They were.
f ormally welcomed into the assem
bly by Speaker Killian Barwick, and
the date for their initiation was set
for two or three weeks hence.
There were,, 17 in attendance a con
siderable increase over last meeting.
Probably the extreme theories ""of
government and the radical ideas of
today's thinkers are causing the
worthy Senators to take more interest
in the affairs which concern them
more or less, and to come together
for formal discussion of these im
portant matters.

The Carolina Quint will meet its
second Southern Conference foe when
they play the University of Georgia
here Friday night. The Bulldogs
eliminated the Tar Heels in the semi
finals of the Tournament at Atlanta
last year, after dropping an early
season game to the Phantoms. Cap
tain Morris, Vanstory, and Hackney
were on that 1927 five and will be
eager to gain a victory over the
Georgians.
However, Georgia has scored wins
over Tulane, and Georgia Tech, two
outstanding Conference teamsj and
are represented by a powerful quint.
The Tar Heels defeated Tulane dur
ing the holidays, and since then have
set back the Charlotte Monograms,
and Guilford College by comfort
able margins. The two games sche
duled for Wednesday night and to
night with Virginia were called off.
Only two 'games were planned with
Virginia this winter, but as eight
Conference tilts are necessary to send
a team to Atlanta a third game was
arranged at the . request of Virginia.
Later the" schedules were re-arranged,
calling for only two games between
the two institutions' with the - first
game to be played at. Carolina Mon
