"The World's Struggle for an IdeaF Was Subject of President's Talk. - Dr. H. W. Chase filled the" pulpit of the church of the Covenant in Greens boro Sunday night, speaking on the subject "The World's Struggle for an Ideal." Dr. Chase based his discourse on the 21st chapter of the book of Revelations. ' The speaker described an ideal city or community on earth, taking as his ideal the prophet's vision described m the section of the Scriptures mention ed above. The visitor exhorted" the congrega tion to do all possible to shape the communities in which they live after the pattern of the ideal city, which would be effected by producing men ;at their best." , . History was termed only the story of man's struggles towards this Uto pian world, now all sorts and condi tions of men have striven in the way that each could to promulgate this change. Organization should never be car ried to the point that it is placed above the individual, declared Dr. Chase saying that the-world wants individuals, men and women leaders. The test of present organizations is not the degree reached as such, but the persistent development of the in dividual towards the ideals held by that institution. -- ' Fraternity Guests Among the girls who were guests of the Sigma Delta fraternity at their week-end house party were: Snookie Macdonald, Lincolnton; Sarah Dur- - ham,-Danville; Nell Jones, Elizabeth City: Rose White Kenney, Windsor; Anne Woods, Roxboro; Flo Mitchel, Statesville; Edna Yorke, Rock Hill, S.

DEBATERSPLAN FORTO Questions of National Interest Are Slated to Be '' Settled With Rival Schools In its annual debating classic with the University of Alabama and Tu- lane 'University, Carolina will debate a question of increasing local and na tional interest, namely, - Hesolved, That Governor Smith of . New York should be elected President of the United States. This question was ac cepted by the triangle of universi-' ties at the suggestion of the local Del bate Council. The question of the probable result in the South of Smith's nomination is one of the most interesting problems of the day, and a discussion of it by these three Southern schools will be especially significant, because it may reflect the sentiment of the territory which they represent. It is generally known that North Carolina looks more favorably on Smith than other Southern States, and it is also a fact that the greatest opposition to his election is coming from Alabama, due to the efforts of Senator Hef lin. - The Carolina- affirmative team (two men) will remain at home to meet Alabama's negative team which swill journey north. The Carolina negative team will go to Tulane at New Orleans. The first meeting of the squad which will contend for places on these two teams will be held at 202 Murphey, 7:30 p. m. Feb ruary 16. Any student in the Uni versity is eligible. The last meeting of the squad which is preparing to try for places on tha team which will debate the University - of Virginia here in about lwo weeks will be held at 202 Mur phey, 7:30 p. m. February 13th. At this meeting Professor M. S. Breck enridge of the law school faculty will discuss the development of the Fed eral Trade Commission in the relation that it has to the question which will be debated against Virginia: Resolved, Ihat-ihec: increase of Federal power in the United States during the last decade indicates, a favorable ten dency.; USSIONS TO BE CONTINUED BY Y THIS QUARTER Topics of Sherwood Eddy's Lec tures Will Be Discussed Be ginning Tomorrow Night. The regular weekly discussion groups organized ' and conducted in each dormitory by" the Y.M.C.A. cab inet last quarter will be continued I through this quarter, it was announc ed yesterday. , The plan for this quarter is to have the meetings, which will be held in each -dormitory every Wednesday night at nine o'clock, 'devoted to the discussion and study of the topics taken up by Sherwood Eddy in his re cent series of lectures here. Race relations, international rela tions, industrial relations, and those of the family . will each be taken up in order. ' Jimmie Williams, chairman of the Discussion , Group Committee of the "Y."r Cabinet, announced the following questions to be discussed at the first meeting Wednesday night: 1. Do present conditions compared with the fact that the literacy of blacks has risen from . 10 percent in 1866 to 90 percent in 1926 convince you that education is solving our race problem? 2. Is what we do for thenegro boy today an economic necessity or merely a moral obligation? 3. What can you say as to the equality of wages, rents, suffrage, and court decisions among whites and negroes ?, Are we being "white" to the black?. ; - 4. Is a negro with a book or a pickaxe the more valuable to a com munity? 5. Do .you think it advisable to have at least one colored member of the legislature? 6. After all is the negro problem one of our doing for him or one of making it. possible for him to do for himself? , The same plan of organization will be followed again this quarter with discussion groups being organized in each dormitory and with the group scoring the best percentage in at tendance being given a banquet by the Y.M.C.A.

Kennedy Are Highly Praised By Critics. The Carolina Glee Club returned Sunday evening from a week's tour through Georgia, South Carolina and the southern part of North Carolina. The concert work was begun with two engagements in and near Atlanta, the first being sung at Agnes Scott College at Decatur, Georgia. The au dience there manifested a great deal of appreciation of the work done by the club and entertained the singers with a dance after the appearance The concert in Atlanta, which was presented at the Woman's Club, was heard by a capacity house of music lovers, who were loud in their praise of the whole program and were es pecially enthusiastic over the spiritual and Russian groups. Atlanta critics accorded a large share of praise to the singers and return engagements have been offered. While in Atlanta, the club was en tertained at a Charity ball, a musicale given in their honor by the Emory Glee Club, and a reception given at the home of Judere Bryan. The club remained in Atlanta for two days. A large audience attended the con cert at , Anderson College in spite of the bad weather and rain. The music seemed to be thoroughly appreciated and a large number of encores were demanded. The dance eiven the Club after the concert was not.attended by the singers because of the early de parture necessary to fill the Charles ton engagement Charleston's concert was doubtless the most successful of the entire tour The auditorium was completely filled by an audience thoroughly apprecia tive of good music and very critical - j.

After the concert a dance was given at one of the battery hotels in honor of the club. In Charlotte, the Carolina boys also pleased a large and critical audience, An eminent Charlotte critic described I the concert as "one of the most per- feet-exhibitions of choral work ever given in this city."

Overshadows Duke Stars Close Guarding is Feature of Basketball Game Between Blue Devils and White Phan toms; Carolina Runs Wild in Second Half. The Tar Heel practically clinched the title of state champions Saturday by swamping the highly touted Blue Devils of Duke 27-14 in the fastest game in the Tin Can this season. The brilliance of Duke's stars was overshadowed by the smoothworking team of Coach Ashmore. The four famous fast "sophomores from Durham were so well' covered throughout the game -that almost their only recourse was long shots, and there were not so very many of those. Duke's score was the lowest that it has been held to this year. The outcome of the game was somewhat of a surprise to most of the Carolina fans. It was generally agreed that the Duke team would likely meet a decided check when they - appeared here, but that they would be repulsed with the score lacking but one point of being doubl ed was not anticipated. Local en thusiasts fully expected the hardest battle that the Phantoms have had this year with a state team. Carr Purser gave his team a dis tinct advantage in being able to get the tip-off most of the time. The Duke team was very seldom able to break up the passing of the Carolina team, and got possession of the ball for the most, part when one of the Hillians missed a shot, or when the ball was given it outside. f All of Carolina's quintet functioned brilliantly against their opponents, undefeated before that game. Hon ors of the contest "go to Rufus Hack ney, who was high scorer with 11 points, and who prevented Werber, one of Duke's quartet, from getting a mark at all. Councillor led for Duke x and took second place in the scoring for the game with 7 points. Purser came third with five. . Jankoski, Duke's famous athlete from Milwaukee, Wis. who has ap peared rather impotent against Caro lina in football as well as basketball, started the ball falling -through the ring, giving his cohorts the lead. After Hackney had made good a foul toss, Councillor came back with an other one from the floor to give his team a 4-1 advantage. A free goal by Purser followed soon after 'by goals from Dodderer, Hackney and Satterfield, gave the Heels the lead which they kept thenceforth. The half ended 8-7. ' r v In the second half the Tar Heels put on more speed, 'and held Duke just as tightly as before, allowing them to run up 7 more points, while the home team enlarged their total to 27. Five markers were rung up for he winners before the visitors . tallied some minutes after play was resum ed. Hackney added 4 counters in the ast few seconds of the contest, get ting the ball from Dodderer on the outside and sending it through. A foul by Kelly - gave Dodderer two chances after the final gun. He made both good. STUDENTS PASS STATEBAREXAM Nine University Men Pass Long Examination Given in Ra leigh Last Week. Nine students of the Law School who took the seven-hour State Bar examination- passed it with flying colors.
