FRAZER TALKS TO
DEBATING CLASS
ON WORLD COURT
Subject Will Be Used By Caro
Una Debaters against
Emory University.
At the weekly meeting of the de
bate class Professor K. C. Frazer, of
the Department of Government, ' dis
cussed the general aspects of the
query: "Resolved, That the United
States should enter the World Court
without reservations." Mr. Frazer
explained that the World Court was
created by the League of Nations and
that the judges of the court are chosen
by the League of Nations. "The
World Court does for international
government what the Supreme Court
does for the United States," declared
the speaker.
" Professor Frazer pointed out to
his audience the fact that -the func
tions of the court are very well de
fined and, very definite. He asserted
that the league assembly acts as a
legislative body which has such
powers as the transfer of labor from
one country to another in case that
move seems to be for the best inter
ests of international affairs. Mr.
Frazer told the class that the execu
tive branch of the court is made up
of the League Council, the members
of which are representatives of the
leading nations of the world. The
judicial branch of the court, he said,
is perhaps the most important part
of the court, the function of which
is to pass on any and all treaties
which come before the League of
Nations from time to time. All
treaties passed upon by the court are
registered at Geneva, Switzerland.
Mr. Frazer stated that one of .the
most important" functions of the
court is that of giving advice in mat
ters of international justice. 'More
over, the court is making its influence
felt by building up a code of inter
national law.
The query now under discussion wil
be used in, the debate with Emory
University at Chapel Hill on the night
of March 26.
Bill Now Pending To
Establish Recorder's
Court in Chapel Hil
A bill now pending before the Legis

minor charges. If established it will be
with the provision that if it is un
successful the first year or two, the
Board of Aldermen may discontinue
it without, a vote of the people.

ROTARY TO HELP
NEEDY STUDENTS
Will Provide Hot Lunches for
Students in Chapel HiU
High1 School.
The Chapel Hill Rotary Club, of
which a number of University pro
fessors and officials are members,
and of which Dr. Eric Abernethy,
University physician, is president, has
recently put on a program of things
that will be done by the Club for the
improvement of conditions now exist
ing in and around Chapel Hill, by
caring for certain needy cases and of
volunteering aid in worthy causes. At
the regular weekly banquet held last
Wednesday evening in the hall room
of the Carolina Inn, it was moved by
E. C. Smith, manager of the Carolina
Theatre here that the Club provide
hot lunches for all the poor children
of the community who attend the
Chapel Hill high school and are un
able to purchase these 'lunches each
day themselves. The club imme
diately passed on the motion, and it
was voted that twenty five children
be cared for for the rest of the year
in this manner.
The Club is constantly responding
to requests from worthy charities,
and is really one of the liveliest of
the local civic organizations. Dr. H.
W. Chase, "president of the . Univer
sity, is also honorary president of the
local Club. K "

Thieves Continue
Work on Campus

unmolested. Thursday afternoon

dormitory and obtained about six dol
lars from two pairs of pants which
were lying in the room. Many other
robberies have , also been reported

" Time limit for closing the entry
list in the annual spring Dramatic
Tournament of the Carolina Dramatic
Association has been moved up ten
days to February 25, it was announc
ed here today by Nettina Strobach,
the secretary-treasurer. :
Quite a number of organizations
have been made up since the first of
the year, and in order to give both
hew and old organizations a chance
to participate in the annual tourna
ment, it was decided to allow the ten
day extension of time for entries, Miss
Strobach said in making the announce
ment. This mean, Miss Strobach explain
ed, that names of all plays to be en
tered must be in her hands by Febru
ary 25, or postmarked as of that date.
The time-extension also applies, she
said, to entry of original plays, manu
scripts of which must be mailed not
later than February 25.
There will be no further extension
of time, she, stated emphatically, after
February 25. All entries must be
mailed by that time, and earlier en
trance is urged if possible. Early en
trance, she explained, is to the ad
vantage of the local association in that
the same play may not be entered by
two clubs in the same classification,
and the first entered will be given
the right of production.

York City, will be in Chapel Hill

.Last iau Mr. roster arrived in
Chapel Hill on the day after the Uni
versity closed because of the "flu'
epidemic. Consequently, a good many
of the men .who wished to interview
him at that time left for the Christ
mas holidays and he did not have a
chance to see them.
On Wednesday, Mr. Foster is inter
ested in interviewing those men
whom he missed seeing last time, as
well as any- others who are inter
ested in going into retail merchan
dising and in making a connection
with the' W. T. Grant Company.
Any men, especially seniors, who
are interested in talking with ' Mr,

Henderson to Talk
On Shaw's Religion
Dr. Archibald Henderson will
speak Sunday evening, February 10,
on "The Religious Ideas of George

at seven o'clock in the Epworth
Th Carolina. MaMzine will retain
its identity next year even though it
is to be combined into a literary sup
plement to the new daily Tar Heel in
accordance with the outcome of the
student vote Thursdav.
The supplement will be issued every
rtflin-n Rn-nlaTT mnrninor ucritli "tViP TPC.
ular issue of the Tar Heel, but an
entirely separate staff will write and1
edit the material for the literary sec
tion. The editor of the supplement
will be elected in the general campus
elections, and will be entirely inde
pendent of the Tar Heel editor and
his staff.
Two diametrically opposed view
points were taken upon the Magazine
question in the pre-election discussion
of the possibilities of the four sug
gested plans for financing the daily.
According to one viewpoint, the sup
plement would give a decided impetus
to creative writing on the campus,
since the supplement would probably
be read far more extensively than is
the Magazine at present. A much
L larger number of students would
write for the supplement than for
the Carolina Magazine if it were to
continue in its present , format, ac
cording to those supporting the sup
plement plan. Professor John Book-
ci auu jucau auuisuu uiuuaiu wac
among the most enthusiastic of those
advocating, the supplement idea, j
The irnTioritv crnnn were nf the
opinion that the literary quality ' of
the Magazine would be greatly im
paired if it were incorporated 'into a
supplement - to the Tar Heel. They
declared that practically none of the
present Magazine writers would sub
mit copy to the supplement editor,
and that establishment of the supple
ment would mean the Magazine would
lose its identity and virtually pass
out of existence. The Magazine is a
campus institution that has existed
for more than eighty years, accord
ing to the supplement opponents, and
it would be decidedly undesirable for
the sole organ of literary expression
tence.

joagDy raaae a iaiK on me. question
which the men of Economics often
ask the men of Psychology: "What is

by R. A. McPheeters, of the School
of Commerce. McPheeters welcomed
the new members in behalf of the
faculty members of Alpha Kappa
Psi.
In the course of his address Dr.
Bagly commented on the rather
amazing fact that many business men
are often misled in their attempts to
decide on the purchase of a definite
number of articles from a field of
many similar articles, ine speaicer
maintained that the motives underly
ing purchase are rather definitely in
keeping with the attitude of the in
dividual. The speaker asserted that
there are no hard and fast rules re
garding the matter.
