C TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14; 1923 NUMBER" 52 POLITICAL PARTIES ARE FORMED HERE Mayor Jimmie Walker and Sen ator Reed Extended Invita tions to Speak Here. The national politics campaign, in stituted by the associate editor's edi torial of last week,- is moving rapidly. The 'first intent of the politicians was to present many candidacies to the campus and have the. student body vote solely on the basis of individual personalities. The virtue- of this scheme was that personalities rather than parties would vie for favor on the campus. However, practical dif ficulties rendered this plan unpopu lar with the managers of the cam paign hence a new procedure will be inaugurated. " At the instigation of the associate editor, parties will be organized on the campus. Charlie "Jonas well-known for his Republican strategem, will lead a host of Republicans against a Democratic faction under Taylor Bled soe, all-round ' politital sage. It is rumored that Jonas will not lack skill ed support, for 'Alvin ,-Kartus and Charlie Price are confirmed Republi cans. Bledsoe is said to have a galaxy of rabid Democrats who will defend the campus Jrom those who would have it desert the traditional party. - In addition to the efforts of local orators who have consented to speak in chapel, there probably will be speeches by men of national signifi cance. The Tab Heel has extended invitations to Mayor Jimmie Walker of New York City and to Senator Reed, brilliant Missouri prospect. Moreover, the chairman of the Repub lican and Democratic state commit tees have been requested " to send speakers to uphold their respective parties. Concentrated efforts are be ing made to provide outside celebri ties for each faction on the campus. The Dialectic Senate and the Phil anthropic Assembly have members -who are naturally, interested in na tional politics. In fact; the Dialectic Senate has an invitation to Senator Reed which antedates that of the Tar Heel. The paper's invitation will re inforce that of the senators. The ' two societies are expected to intensify the discussion of prospective candi . dates. In the near future "a call to colors will be issued by the leaders of the warring factions. Then the speeches, placards, and finally the straw vote, The program has attracted interest in the state already, as evidenced by accounts in the daily papers. WADE H. PHILLIPS SPEAKS IN CHAPEL "Opportunities in North Carolina To ' day" is Subject of Address. "Opportunities in North Carolina Today" was the subject of a talk in chapel yesterday by Major Wade H Phillips, director of ..the state Depart ment of Conservation and Develop ment. The address was the eighth in a series conducted by the bureau . of Vocational Information. Major Phillips said that it was not necessary for Carolina men to go out of the state to seek opportunities There is just . as great a chance in North Carolina which has been de veloped from the inside by state men, many of them from the ranks of grad uates of the University. North Carolina, Major Phillips pointed out, is the fifth state in the union in point of industrial impor tance, v Immense strides, almost with- out. parellel, havebeen made in com merce and agriculture. Opportune ties in tobacco, textile, and wood prod ucts industries are numerous and worth while. Water power, is not being properly and fully utilized, and much remains to be done with, the vast deposits of minerals in the states "Now is the time,"- said the Major, "to begin to plan. This is & good state seize your opportunities nere, If they get short on Presidential ma terial, we will be ready. We want , more leaders, more material, and it will come from you, the students." Valentine Social 4 . Tonight at Presbyterian Church 'There will be a Valentine social at the Presbyterian church social rooms tonight from eight till ten-thirty o'clock. All young people of the town and campus have been invited by of ficials to attend the gathering. Games and other forms of amusement wil be indulged in. Refreshments will be served. Officials especially urge that ladies attend the social. BOXERS TROUNCE BULL DOGS 5 TO 2 Tar Heeb Easily Out-elass Georgia Fighters in Tin Can-Ring. History repeated itself in the , Tin Can Saturday night when the" Uni versity of : North Carolina battlers trounced the Georgia Bulldogs in the best matchof the season, by last years' score of 5 to 2. The only thing to mar" the card of fights was Georgia's forfeit" of the heavyweight affair to Shuford. Out side of this every battle of the, eve ning was a headline go. -From the first gong every wearer of Tar Heel colors exhibited . an ' asrsressivenes3 hat was both pleasing and profitable" pleasing to the spectators and profitable for the Tar Heels. Coach Rowe's men had to force the fighting in every bout. Not once didthe vis itors;? come out and lead any. of the terrific battling of the meet: Only the Heel's willingness to assume the burden of offense, kept the bouts from being sluggish affairs. But oh, how Blue and White' leatherpushers did carry the fight to the, opposition! Only two of the fights went against the Carolinians. Jester of the Bull Dogs got the decision from Cummings in the featherweight , bout, while Odell ' Sapp lost out to Hooks of the Georgians. Both of these fights were too close for comfort. The Cum-mings-Jester round, which was award ed to Jester, brought forth a round of disapproval. Spectators and news paper opinions stand firm that if the fight should not have gone to the Tar Heel, the only possible alternative would have been a draw. 'At any rate, the two battlers ..were as evenly matched as any two could liave been. They swapped blow for blow, and bloclc for block in one of the feature bouts of the evening. The Sapp- Hooks go was a close one, too. The big Bull Dog football tackle had a slight edge on Odell in their fisti cuff ial discourse, but it was a very slight 'advantage. ; " " - - .

Can the undefeated Duke University grap plers overwhelmed Coach "Chuck" Quinlan's hopefuls by a 24 to 3 count, Saturday night.

Only? one match fell to the last year's state champions. The Devils took the other six, three by fall and three by decision.

JOB'S IQNFOLKS IS BEST OF NEW FOLK PLAYS GIVEN Mrs. Loretto Carrol Bailey's Play is Highly Praised by Critic; Bill Considered Best Presented Recently. MOUNTAIN MAGIC, by Edith k . Daseking JOB'S KINFOLKS) by Loretto t Carrol Bailey THE QUEEN HAS HER FACE LIFTED, by AlvinM.Kahn PLAYMAKER THEATRE February 10 and 11 . (By Joseph Mitchell) I was' frankly surprised by the un usual quality of two of the three plays included on this twentieth bill of ori ginal Playmaker dramas. ' I don't think I have ever dared hope to see on the local stage as forceful and agitating a ; play as Job's Kinsfolks I am quite Certain that I never ex pected to see a play as well inter preted. ' " ' ' s ' . The program began, with a Cali fornia folk-play, Mountain Magic, by Edith Daseking. This- piece is ob viously tinged ; with a definite cine matographic influence. - A Viennese opera singer treks across the. con tinent to marry a supposedly prosper ous American loveri who had left her in Europe to come to California to pan the creeks , for enough gold to build her a 'giided palace. ' Sufficient complications are introduced to wob ble three healthy acts. The singer finds her lover in a board shack in the mountains, sick, discouraged, and with only enough gold saved to send her back to ' Vienna. A mountain girl, of the Rose Marie type, is rath er beautifully in love with the pros pector, but"she altruistically sidesteps in favor of the singing lady. Instead of returning to Europe the prima donna" decides to stay and grapple with the hardships of back-woods life, whatever they may be. The . playbill notes this: "This play is based on an actual incident in the life of her (the author's) grandmother." It seems impossible for the lady playwrights to grasp the comparatively simple fact proving that it requires more than an actual incident to render plausible or justifiable, a far-fetched plot. The acting is several grades above mediocre. It was obvious that here were at least three first-rate ama teur actors struggling with a second rate play. Shepperd Strudwick, Jr., played Bill, the prospector. His role was emotionally difficult, and he man aged it well. It appears that he has developed from his earlier method of straining and forcing to show' a certain-shadowy emotional effect. He was natural, if not confident he be lieved in his part ; he is better this way. Helen Dortch as a barefooted mountain girl, secretly in love with Bill, was impressive. She acted with unusual assurance and her every move was enormously suggestive. Enita Nicks carried the difficult role of the opera singer with evident ease. Her carefully rehearsed foreign accent was convincing enough, but her method of twisting a pronunciation- or showing an idiomatic quirk to wring a -laugh from the audience struck me as being rather cheap. Her pantomime was important." She knows how to use her hands and eyes. There was only a hint of overacting. Howard Bailey deserves credit for narrowing down the distracting part of the inevitable rustic preacher. In the midst of a symphony you are kept in a reverie by the violins. . "Then of a sudden there breaks in the bleating noises of heavy, " (Continued on page three) Freshmen To Smoke And Elect Treasurer First Year Men to Gather' at Swain Hall Wednesday Night.

SOLOS ARE BEST PART OF CONCERT Reviewer Says Real Use for Memorial Hall Has Been Found; Concert Passable. By Katherine E. Grantham A large group of students and townspeople heard the University Ban3, directed by T. Smith McCorkle in their Sunday concert at 4 o'clock in Memorial Hall. Solos by Charles H. White, Jr., Fred L. Byerly, and Carl H. Wessell, were agreeable fea tures of the program. , The band exhibited unusually good ensemble work in the concert, second in the monthly series arranged by the University department of music. Their program also demonstrated a real use for Memorial Hall. It was proved to be big enough to hold adequately the volume' of ' music a band can produce. The band, then, did not suffer the handioap most bands must experience in giving indoor" concerts. The audi ence could sense, fine gradations in rhythm, and some attempt at artistic interpretation of music. The program itself was not all that a concert program might be. The two Chenette numbers were enjoyable, though the second, "Eastern World, Fantasy,". could well have been cut short by the composer. Other num bers, while rendered with skill, were not so pleasing. in themselves, as com positions. There was considerable lack of unity in the theme of several. A good many people were heard to express pleasure overthe final num ber, "Semper Fidelis." The complete program follows: ' March, Blue Jackets Emerson Overture, Inspiration Hayes Addah Polka , Losey Mr. White 9 : Parade of the Elephants Chenette Serenade Roccoco Meyer-Helmund ; - Intermission March, peerless Triumphal Perry Eastern World, Fantasy 'Chenette Second Reverie Fabre Mr..

The second of the series of dormi tory discussion groups is scheduled for tomorrow evening at nine o'clock.' The organization of these groups, which are sponsored by the Y. .M. C. A., took place last" Wednesday in each dormitory on the campus. The discussions for this quarter will be devoted to a study of the topics taken up by Sherwood Eddy . in his recent lectures here. The problems of race relations, international rela tions, and industrial questions will be covered during the winter quarter. These groups -are being held as a sequence to the fall discussions which have been held for the past " several years. Jimmie Williams, chairman of the dormitory, discussion group com mittee, is aided by assistants in each of the dormitories who have helped in the organizing of -the assemblies. Last quarter a great percentage of the campus attended the meetings; the total attendance for the series was over two thousand. The. committee has endeavored to select queries which will prove of immediate interest to students in the University. The quesr tions which will be discussed "tomor row night are as follows: 1. If America is the "richest nation of the world," why is there so much poverty prevalent? 2. Is industry responsible for the poverty, sickness, and vice of its Workers? Do you know of. any com munity where these conditions exist? 3. What is the purpose of indus try? Is it' to make money or to make men Jroht or service? - 4. Should the method of industry be open and merciless competition or should it be cooperation between men? 5.' Should industry be controlled by the small owning group or should labor have a voice in determining its own working conditions? ' 6. . How can the principles of social justice and Christian ethics be applied to business? - ; - v - DECORATIONS TO FEATURE DANC OFGptpB Naylor's Orchestra and Elabor ate Decorations to Add To Festivities. .

Clinch efeats Duke lace in State Championship Blue Devil Quintet is Victim of Tar Heels for Second Time This Season; Winners Main tain Lead Throughout Game With Final Score 32 to 23. By defeating Duke in Durham Sat urday night 32-23, Carolina made sure of having a place in the state title for this year, even if she loses both the remaining games to be play ed here the coming Saturday and Mon day. The latest win of the Heels kept their slate clean within the state, and also the record of some years stand ing of losing no games to Duke, the erstwhile Trinity. The Duke outfit is rated very high ly, and has lost .none but the two games' with the White Phantoms. However, in both games with Duke, the superiority of the Heels was easily apparent, indicating the inf err iority of individualism to teamwork. With Duke at home, on a court' smaller than the one at the Hill, and a very slick floor, the Heels were unable to gam such' a lead as when they played here, but they were never headed by their hosts in' the score, although the count was tied twice, once at 4 all, and a little later at 9-9. At the end of the half, the Heels had a" six point lead, 17-11,. which they enlarged to nine points just before the conclusion of the con test.v 4 The meet was well under Way be fore either side tallied, and Purser started things moving with a goal, from the floor. Then followed an other period of inability to hit the basket just right on the part of either teanu The Phantoms got the ball under frequently, but missed what were apparently easy shots. The Duke boys were very seldom able to get within easy striking distance of their end of the floor, and depended on hope shots chiefly, letting loose attempts from the other side' of the middle line, and several times missing the backboard altogether. Satterfield finally came through with another double-counter to make the score 4-0. Werber started the scoring for Duke with a free shot. Soon after came Councillor 'with a field goal and an other foul made good by Werber tied the score at four for 4oth. 'Satter field again got busy and broke it up with an easy goal. ' - A few minutes later, with the count standing 9-5 for the visitors, Candler got in two goals from the floor in succession to tie up again with nine points for each team. The' tie was broken by a shot by Satter field, and the Heels remained in the lead throughout the rest of the eve--nine. Purser dropped in a goal soon after, and Euf e Hackney landed two in a line. Duke called for time. Af ter playing was resumed, Jankoski had his hopes fulfilled with one of his long heaves, and the 'gun ended th,e half soon ' after, with the score 17-11. ' ' ' ' " At the beginning of the second period,' Morris 'got a two pointer, fol lowed . by a single shot. Hackney brought in another, " and the' regis tering' ceased for 'some minutes until Werber rang up two' more points for Duke, and Candler s followed his ex- ample not 'long fter. Carolina held a council, and Dodderer, "with his hand bandaged up, went in to his old position, sending Vaiistory to center ' (Continued on-page two) ; ' DEPUTATION TEAM TO VISIT DURHAM YJkf.CA.- Quartet and Speaker to Ap pear beforev Bull City Y.W.CJV.
