C, SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1929 NUMBER 65 MUSICIAN TO PERFORM HERE ON APRIL 8 Due to Conflict in Engagements Date of Appearance Here Has Been Changed. The University Entertainment Committee announced yesterday af ternoon that due to the urgent insis tence of the managers of Mile. Gina Pinnera, noted opera star, the date of her appearance in Chapel Hill the night of April 1 has been moved up to Monday night April 8. Mile. Gina Pinnera is the latest of five American-born young women to win outstanding success during the last half decade. She was universal ly acclaimed as the musical sensa tion of the year after a brilliant con cert sung by her in Carnegie Hall, New York, on the night of February 19, 1929. The late Maurice Halper son, the noted music critic of the New York Staats-Zeitung, was di rectly responsible for Mile. Pinne ra's concert. Mile." Pinnera's early musical in terest was recognized by a sympa thetic Italian-American father, but his preference for her was the violin, which instrument she studied until after her sixteenth year. Paralleling this activity was her interest in the piano and vocal studies which she pursued with genuine ardor. Her first public appearance came at the age of four years when she appeared on the platform of her church to of fer the Easter morning solo of that year. Her first concert was sung when she was twelve years of age. She not only was the first artist on this occasion, but her own manager, publicity director, and ticket agent, renting a hall, and selling some two hundred tickets herself. What is more this concert proved so success ful that she was supported in her musical studies by rich men of her community. Mile. Gina Pinnera represents the new type of opera singer that has been coming into prominence during the past few years who have an in terest in native musical compositions and who do not spurn jazz.

TVncTi Tniinril Will Elect Soph Cabinet dshin Council iiic r icaiinio" nill meet in the large room on the first floor of the Y. M. C. A. Build ing Monday night at 7 o'clock for t't.e purpose of electing officers for ' 'ie Sophomore Cabinet. The retiring officers chosen the third week of the fall quarter are as follows: 'Clarence Phoenix, presi--I'-nt; Glenn Mock, vice president; C. Gupton, secretary, and J. E. Dun can, treasurer. , At the weekly meeting and ban quet of the Chapel Hill Rotary Club held in the ball room of the Carolina Inn last Wednesday evening Profes sor Frank Graham, of the University History department, was the main speaker. Immediately preceding his talk, Andy Mcintosh and Moore Bryson, University students, were presented in a program of humorous dialogues and impersonations. Their act proved a complete success and they were roundly applauded by the host of Rotarians present. Dr. Tolbert Toy then introduced Professor Graham, who spoke on the Workmen's Compensation Act. In his lecture Professor Graham dealt particularly with the things that lead up to the passage of this act by the North Carolina legislature at its last meeting in Raleigh, and he outlined in detail the obstacles that had pre vented its passage until this year. "I would say that the three de fenses put up by those who were against the passage of the Act," be gan Professor Graham, "were the following: Contributory negligence, the fellow servant problem, and the assumption of risks. These defenses are now completely out of date. North Carolina has rapidly become industrialized and so it was only natural that it have an industrialized and socialized law. The old common law of assumption of risks became out of date when the steam engine was invented, thus making it unfair for employers to expect their em ployees to be responsible for acci dents sustained from the operation of enormous machines." t Professor Graham concluded his talk with the statement that the three forces that until this year had to be reckoned with were capital, labor and lawyers. "Capital versus labor, labor versus labor, and the host of lawyers who wanted to handle suits for damages against business con cerns, were mainly responsible for the reluctance of the Legislature in passing the Act. But the spreading of truthful information throughout the state, the cooperation of capital with labor, the pacifying of the un settled factions of laborers, and the noble efforts of Senator Broughton of Wake County, all had their part in having the act passed this year. The new Act allows 60 per cent of wages to be paid to the laborer, a maximum of eighteen dollars a week salary and maximum total of $6,000, which," concluded Professor Graham, "is better on the average than that allowed by the Workmen's Compen sation Acts of the other states." This program was one of the series presented at the Rotary Club meet ings, in which students and faculty members are participating. TWO DANCES ON NEXT WEEK-END Sophomore Dance.

Old Gerrard Hall here at the Uni versity, which has come down through the years as the declaiming place of University orators, resounded with a new note Tuesday night as Saveli Walevitch, the Russian singer, sang before a delighted audience a pro gram of plaintive folk songs and gypsy ballads of old Russia. Mr. Walevitch, who is a Victor re cording artist and who has done con cert work all over the world, held his audience from the first with his pow erful, dramatic presentation of his native songs. "Eh! Ouchnem," The Volga Boat man, probably proved the climax of his program and the most enjoyable number. Other song themes were "Raspashol," Gypsy Drinking Song; "Bayoushky Bayou," Cossack Lullaby; and "Tchudo Tchudiessa," Wonders of the Steppes. This was Mr. Walevitch's second appearance in Chapel Hill. He sang under the auspices of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia. He was accompanied by his wife. The noted artist was among the first of the Russians to introduce to America the old Russian folk songs and Gypsy ballads. With him it is a work of devotion, in order to pre serve this primitive art which, with the growth of western culture, is rapidly vanishing even in Russia it self. While here Mr. and Mrs. Walevitch were the guests of Prof, and Mrs. Thorndike Saville. It is thought the first' glacial age happened 1,250,000 years ago. !
