C THURSDAY, MAY, 24, 192S NUMBER 89 f - ; X r i M If 4 i - i if Plans Providing for Greatly Improved Entertainments Will Be Submitted to Student Vote 0 Students in the College of Liberal Arts and probably those in the School of Education, will vote next Thursday on a plan to provide an entertainment fee to bemused in bringing high class lectures, dramatic entertainments, )and musical programs to the campus, it was announced yesterday by Ed Hudgins, President of the Student Body. The . entertainment fee idea is the; outgrowth ; of a campaign carried on; through the editorial columns of the Tar Heel for the past few weeks for better lectures and musical programs here. It was originally advanced by Dave Carroll, former associate editor of the campus newspaper. Definite decision to submit the plan to a vote of the Student Body was reached Tuesday night at a meeting of a new ly created Advisory Committee, com posed of six seniors and four juniors selected by the dean of the Liberal Arts College from a list of fifteen ris ing seniors and ten juniors, submitted by the class presidents. Excellent Attractions Under the proposed plan, Arts stu dents would pay a fee of one dollar a quarter, which would be added to the fund provided by the University and us ed to bring a number of attrac tions to the campus during the school year. A tentative list of lecturers in eludes such men as Sherwood Ander son, world-famous writer, Von Luck- ner, German naval commander whose astounding feats wrecked havoc with the Allied shipping during the "World War, Richard Halliburton, adventur er, writer, and explorer, Williams Beebe, naturalist and adventurer ex traordinary, and a number of others of equal calibre. A large number of the best musical entertainments would J be included in the schedule of attrac tions made possible by the fee, as well as dramatic presentations whenever first-rate attractions were available. The Arts schools would sponsor the plan, and only students in these schools would pay the fee. They would be issued season tickets covering the programs booked by the entertain ments committee.: Students - in the other schools would pay single admis sions for the various events or pur chase season tickets. Student Booking Committee The plan provides for an entertain ments committee, with students hold ing a majority of the places on the body. All attractions would be book ed by this committee. At present the University appro priation for lectures is five hundred - dollars, the yearly sum that has been provided for entertainments here for the 'past thirty years. There is a pos sibility that this amount will be doubled in the budget ftfr next year, according to officials of the Liberal Arts College. Only two or three first class lectures could be provided, how ever, even with the increased appro priation, according to authorities. Entertainments fees similar to that proposed here are now provided at most of the larger colleges and uni versities in the country. The plan in force at North Carolina College 'for Women at present is very similar to the one that will be voted on here Thursday. J.

GIRLS GALORE TO FEATIMANNUAL Eleven Full Page Cuts of Girls in Yackety Yack Out First of June The Yackety" Yack will be out be tween June 1 and June 4, stated John Allison, the editor of the year book, yesterday. For a time it was thought that the publication would he late on account of a delay '"n the engraving work. ' It is said that this will be one . of the best and most complete Yackety "Sacks published in recent years. The engraving was done by the Southwest ern Engraving Company of Atlanta, Georgia, and the printing is being done by Edwards and Broughton of Raleigh. 1 The color scheme used this year is blue, black, and gray. The division pages' are insert pages on antique laid paper. This feature adds much to the appearance of the book and makes the beginning of each section more attractive. The cover is in sil ver and blue. Eleven full page cuts of the most beautiful girls that have visited the Carolina campus in the past year are in the Vanity Fair section. Florenz Ziegfeld, owner of Ziezfeld's Follies and a man recognized as an excellent judge of feminine beauty, hasselect ed these eleven photographs out of one hundred and forty entries. The editor refuses to 'disclose the names of the girls who are shown in the sec tion. Fourteen pictures of girls are in the Sponsor section for fourteen cam pus officers and athletic captains. For the first time activities of the Juniors are listed under their pic tures. No writeups will appear under the Senior's pictures, but a list of their activities will appear as usual. Artists from Atlanta spent quite a while here last summer in arranging for the art work of the issue. The theme is local color, so this work last summer will add materially to this section. Thirty-eight pages of the Yackety Yack will be given over to athletics this year. Individual pictures of each varsity and outstanding athlete will appear, as will the pictures of coach es and managers. Action, pictures of all sport events will spread through out the section. This will be a much larger athletics division that hereto fore, as the usual number of pages for this section is twenty. , A sixteen page rotogravure section is . another feature of the year book. Snapshots of all kinds will appear here depicting the story of the school year. Pictures of the Cheerios, ini tiations, and dozens of other phases of campus life will appear in the roto gravure division. In the fraternity section an added feature is the pictures of all houses. This is the first time that the pictures of houses have appeared.

Buccaneer Bustle Is Big Hit of "Whoops M'Dear," Reviewer Says; Production Is Very Good Aspiring Editorial Men for Yackety Yack Meet Friday All members of this year's Yackety Yack editorial staff and all candidates for next year's staff will meet in the office tomorrow afternoon at - three o'clock, it was announced by Editor June Adams last night. Dr. For ster Talks To The N. C, Club On Farm Taxation Dr. G. W. Forster of State College addressed the North Carolina Club Monday night at its final meeting of the year in Saunders Hall on "Farm Income and Farm Taxes." Dr. Forster has recently completed a farm survey for the State Tax Com mission. It is said that this was the paost comprehensive farm study' ever made in the United States. The ob jectives of the survey were three: (1) to determine the percent of farm in come absorbed by taxes; (2) to de termine the ratio of assessed value of farm land to-its true value; and (3) to determine the aggregate amount of taxes borne by agriculture and to what extent the taxes are burdensome. The investigation covered 1300 farms in 13 representative areas of the state. The farms were located in twenty-five counties. The farms were selected at random so as to ob tain fair and comprehensive data. Tenant farmers were not considered, since these had little bearing on such a tax survey. Mr. Forster pointed out that any effort to get an accurate estimate of the farmers' income is very difficult, because there are so many items to be taken into consideration. Some questions that arise in making these estimates are: what is the cost equiv alent to home rent, firewood, and pro duce raised and produced on the farm, shall food consumed be estimated at selling price or buying price, how can one determine the amount of milk, eggs, and vegetables consumed on the farm? There were many more sim ilar problems that had to be coped with, This was the last meeting of the year, and -a large percentage of the members were present. It is said that the club had a most successful year, and prospects are bright for even a better one next year. Spanish Club Will Hold Last Meeting The last meeting . of the Spanish Club for the year will take the form of a Spanish supper at-the home of Dr. N. B.. Adams on Pittsboro Road tomorrow evening at six o'clock. Cars will meet the club members at the southwest campus gate near the Carolina Inn at a quarter until six o'clock, and carry them to Dr. Adams' house. A short business meeting will fol low the supper at which the officers for next year will be elected. - The Zeta Psi Fraternity announces the initiation oF Burges Whitehead of Windsor, N.

AGAIN TONIGHT Girls Add Spice to Latest Wigue and Masque Offering (By Andy Andersoy) (Reviewer's Note: This review was done from dress rehearsal of "Whoops M'Dear" Tiiesday night and should be read with this in mind. A bom fide review of the show Thursday night will appear in Saturday's Tar Heel. An early Tar Heel dead-line made it impossible to review last night's shorn hi today's paper.) Little can be said of the Wigue and Masque's revue of "Whoops M'Dear" except that in , its entirety it is good. This has been said in pre-views but the reiteration is necessary." Late yesterday afternoon over three hundred seats had been sold which is a record pre-sale for campus produc tions and late reserved seat sales plus the rush tickets last night should have given the show a sell-out. Be that as it may, crowd or no crowd, the show at rehearsal was good and I don't mean nothing else but. There's no use in picking out an individual star because that would be practically impossible. The read er will have to list unto the praise given each performer in respective numbers. The sets, costumes, and drops were all made and arranged by members of the production and the staff is to be complimented. The lighting effects are good and the sets merit much praise. The makers certainly succeed ed in producing burlesques. Gene Er- win did more than well with the dan ces for they were great and Al Kahn arranged the skits, plus scenery, with a high degree of exactness. Wex Malone performed well at the piano, considering an injure3 thumb, and the piano instead of an orchestra was an excellent idea. I liked it well and as much for the novelty as for the grace it lent the numbers. "Buccaneer Bustle," "Ancient His tory," "Hello Sucker," "Daddy Goes A-Hunting," and "Collegiana" were the hits of the show. But let's take the show in order.

Dr. Alexander further stated, "The group is particularly interested in the place of the University in the life of North Carolina, especially as regards any phase of social betterment.
