current musical show, "Mum's' The

that feminine roles in .the Wigue and
Masque play would . not be filled by
impersonators this year, before that
organization had decided upon its
policy.
This is the second time only in the
existence of the club that the female
parts, will be filled by women.
"Whoops M', Dear" included women

roles are to be filled by the casting
committee headed by "Pete" Wjison,
president and Al Kahri, amateur
theatrical impressario. In addition to
the principal nineteen parts eight
chorus men and eight chorus girls
will be chosen.
Every bona-f ide student of the Uni
versity is both eligible and urged to
try out for parts in the production.
All of the roles are important, but
they do not all require ability to sing,
several being non-singing parts.
Rehearsals will commence, immedi
ately following the final selection of
the cast for the production.
Al Kahn will produce "Mum's the
Word," Wex Malone compose the mu
sical score, Mary Dirnberger will

.The opporutnity for rendering un
selfish service was stressed as the rea
son for taking up the ministry as a
life work by Bishop Thomas C. Darst
in a chapel talk yesterday morning
on "The Ministry as a Life" Work."
The talk was the first of a series on
the different vocations to be given
during the spring. ' ,
"All down through the ages the ob
jective of rendering services has in
spired men to do great things, and to
this objective, the Christian ministry,
I point you today."
At the stage in life when one is in
college he should think about what he
jU to do in life if he is not thinking
of this, he is a funny person. Bishop
Darst urged the ministry as a life
work because it offers an opportunity
to render the greatest amount of un
selfish service, and he placed its op
portunities above that of the lawyer,
engineer and architect.
"Jf there was nothing to the minis
try except preaching on Sunday, and
making parish visits, I would not be
one 'wanting: this information is ask
"The opportunity to render service
is the thing that attracts men to the
ministry."
The Bureau of Vocational Informa
tion has on file information about the
ministry as a profession, and any
one wanting this informatio nis ask
ed to call at the office of the Bureau
in South building.

Professor F. A. G. Cowper, of Duke

Graham Speaks To
Graduating Class
Prof. Frank Graham spoke to the
mid-term graduating class of Greens
boro High school in- Greensboro last
night. He- was the speaker at the
fourth mid-year graduation that has
been held in Greensboro. The school
system is modeled on an eleven and a
half year plan so that each year the
January cla$s is growing larger; the
first had only thirty members while
this year's had fifty.

Literary Supplement to
ailv Tar Heel Would
Aooear Twice a Month
D
Note: This is the third of a series
of four articles in explanation of the
plans for financing a daily Tar Heel.
The plans involving abolition of the
Buccaneer and reapportionment of the
publications fees with utilization of
the surplus now in the treasury of the
Publications Union have already been
explained in separate articles. In the
next issue the last plan, simplification
of the Yackety Yack, will be taken
up. The student body vote on the
daily Tar Heel is scheduled for next
Thursday. 4
The Carolina Magazine will lose its
present format and appear twice
every month in the form of an eight
page literary supplement tq the daily
Tar Heel, if a majority of the student
votes go to this plan of financing the
daily, and the majority give their
approval to establishment of the
paper on a daily basis.
Nearly one-half of the present out
lay' for the Magazine would be saved appearing every other Sunday morn-
if it were printed on newsprint by I Continued on -page Jour)
the same presses that turn out the
Tar Heel. Thus around forty-five
cents' of the Magazine's present
ninety-five cent slice of the publica
tions fees would be released for
financing the increased cost of the
Tar Heel if it were issued every morn
ing, except Monday, instead of the
present tri-weekly issuance. This
forty-five cents from each student
together with the natural increase in
advertising would be sufficient to
cover the increased cost.
There are two conflicting views
concerning the proposed literary sup
plement. The Magazine has existed
here as a separate publication for
over eighty years, and several fac
ulty men and a" number of students;
especially those inclined toward lit
erary expression, are keenly opposed
to any plan to change the presen
format of the publication. .-" Others
argue that the literary supplement,
Mrs. Cora Cox Lucas, of Greens
boro, will play a piano recital in Me
morial hall at four o'clock Sunday
afternoon, February 3: This is one
of the regular numbers on. the Sun
day Recital Series arranged by the
Music department. -
Mrs. Lucas is very, prominent in
music circles throughout the - v South.
She was for a number of years presi
dent of the South Carolina Federation
of Music Clubs, following which she
served for several years as president
of the Southern Division of the Feder
ation,, of which she is now an honor
ary officer. For the last two years
she has been living, in? Greensboro
with her son, and has taken a large
part in the work of the Federation
and of other music interests in North
Carolina. In connection with these
interests she has played piano recitals
in a large number of cities throughout
the south, and has always charmed
her audiences with her skillful and
beautiful playing as well as with her
gracious manner.
One of the most interesting; things
Mrs. Lucas has done in connection
with her musical work was with the
inmates of the state prison ; in : South
Carolina. Here she gave a series of
lecture-recitals which so interested
the prisoners that they led to the de
velopment of a very considerable musi
cal life in the prison. An orchestra
was formed and directed byi a jocal
musician, and a regular series of con
certs were given, extending over a
period of several years.
Library To Change
Policy of Issuing
Books On Reserve
A change in the policy of the Gen
eral Library concerning the circula
tion of reserve books will: be effective
Thursday, January 31. Beginning
Pwith that date reserves may be re-
checked only once. . This change is
designed to prevent the monopoliza
tion by individuals, of certain refer
ences much, in demand especially at
examination times.
Re-checking times, as before, will
be at 1:30 and "6.130 P. M. A class
reference drawn between 1:30 and
6:30 for example, may be re-checked
only once at 6:30, and may not be
re-checked for home use after 8:30.
It is felt that, this will cause no hard
ship since in the above example the
student would have the use of the
book from some time before 6:3Q. to
10:30 P. M.
Episcopal Church Will
Entertain Students at Tea
The fepiscopal church will entertain
students of the University at an in
formal "get-together" tea in the , Pa
rish House from 4:30 to 5:30 tomor
row afternoon.
The tea, the first of a "series, will
be managed by Mrs. John H.-Anderson
assisted by several co-eds.
Is Presented by Dr; Collier Cobb,
Who Raised Funds from
Among Alumni, With Mrs.
Arrington Contributing Half.
The Department of Qeology of the
University has just come into posses
sion of a. copy of the well known
statue of Benjamin Franklin, that
was made by R. Tait McKenzie in
1914. It is entitled "The Youthful
ranklin."
The University's acquisition of the
statue was made possible through the
efforts of Dr. Collier Cobb, head of
the Geology Department. It was
purchased at a price of $1,000. Mrs.
Catharine Pendleton Arrington gave
half the amount,' and the other half
was raised by Dr. Cobb from among
his alumni friends and former pupils.
The statue is now in place in the
library of the Geology building, New
East.
McKenzie, the sculptor who did the
work, is: widely known for his artis
tic productions, having exhibited in
he Salon of Paris, in the Royal Aca
demy in London, and elsewhere.
This' reproduction is from the
Grand Central Art: Galleries, New
York. It was recently exhibited at
the Sir Walter Hotel in Raleigh by
the North Carolina , Art Society.
Dr. Cobb easily may be regarded
as an authority on Franklin. He has
written numerous pieces about the
distinguished Quake,?. He began to
write about him long ago. Way
Tjack in 1872 he had an illustrated ar
ticle on Franklin in the "Home Jour
nal," published in Shelby, and from
that article one-may learn much
about Franklin's interest in newspa
pers, in paper mills, in furnaces and
forges in North Carolina.
It is assured by Dr. Cobb that
Franklin was a geologist and soil ex
pert, as well as a noteworthy contrib
utor to our knowledge of geography.
