The dance will be held as usual in the Bynum gymnasium at 9 o'clock. Alex Mendenhall and liis Tar Heel boys have been en gaged to furnish the music. Dancing will continue until 12 o'clock. , Because of the excessive num ber who wish to attend these dances the number of tickets on sale for stags has been limited to prevent the overcrowding of the dance floor. -These tickets will be on sale at the rear en trance of the gym at 8 :30 o'clock preceding the dance. The general rules of the Ger man club will be in effect regard ing the fact that freshmen are not allowed to be present at these dances. Other rules are known to those who are eligible to attend. This is next to the last dance of the quarter as only .three are given each quarter The date for the last dance has not as yet been decided upon. Co-eds Entertain The co-eds . entertained at their regular Wednesday ? tea yesterday afternoon at Spencer building. The hostesses for the occa sion, Sydney Curry, Olivia Mc Kinne, and Louise Thacker, re ceived the guests, who called be tween 4:30 an 6 o'clock. The purpose of these teas is for the students to get to know each other and for them to be able to repay the courtesies of their friends. Any girl may ask , anyone she wishes. AH the co-eds are urged by Kitty Wells, president - of the Woman's Association, to come to the teas. Long Distance Calls Deluge Local Operators During Games (Frank J. Manheim) Hello the Washington Duke hotel in Durham? WhcTs call ing please? Mr. Snozzle at Mangum? I'll call you, Mr. Snozzle, when I get the hotel." . . . "Hello Schyler 0898 in New York City? Who's calling please? Jack Pink of the D. T.'s house? I'll ring you as soon as I get New York, Mr. Pink." . . . "Hello? 4483 in Winston-Salem? Who's .calling please ? Mr. Wimpfburger from the Carolina Inn? Just a minute, please." And so on through the entire 24 hours. The "gals" over at the Chapel Hill Telephone Company's build ing on East Rosemary lane do this on an average of 150 times per day. They're used to it now. You'll find no wrinkles on their high and wide brows due to overwork. But wait, just try to get a kind word out of them when a big football game is scheduled such as last week's Georgia game. With heroic grimness and de termination, they "carry on," in spite of the 250 long distance calls that must be made during the day. That's what the aver age was last week. They have no time to play then. But if UNIVERSITY BAND BEGINS PROGRAM Preparations Being Made for Local Winter Concerts; Patten Is Manager. The University band is now moving along in full swing. Its new uniforms and the Georgia Tech-Carolina football game of week before last seem to have given it pep that has never ex isted before. The band, as a whole, has already begun work in preparation for a concert trip and for local concerts in the win ter quarter. The membership of 85 men is working on this program music. Later the con cert band will be cut to 50 men. And since there are 85 men to fill 50. places the competition will likely be very keen, both because a band man is not eli gible to receive an , award until he has proven musicianship of sufficient merit to be chosen for the concert band. Paul Patten is now manager for the band and is now work ing on the matter of booking dates. According to the offi cials of the band, it is not always an easy task to get concert dates because people generally are afraid a band program will be too much of a "rah-rah" type. But the Carolina concert band has made every effort to dem onstrate that a band can play real symphonic music, worth while for an organization to play and for any audience to listen to. And it is encouraging to the organization that a re turn date has always been avail able at every place a concert has been played, and that every year the territory in which it is pos sible to secure these dates grad ually widens. ' The Asheville papers last spring, in commenting on the band's concert there called the organization "a symphony with out strings," and was enthusias tic in their commendations. The type of music used in this con cert work has constantly inj creased in amount and in diffi culty in the repertoire of the band. 1 (Continued on page two) they catch a spare moment on the actual day of the big game, tVtAv devote it to a royal cuss ing out" of the lot of people who, a wee bit "under the in fluence of intoxicating liquor," place phone calls to anywhere from Durham to Los Angeles, and then disappear when the troublesome connection has been made. For some reason, fraternity houses seem to be in the bad graces of the telephone operat ors. When visiting brothers and alumni appear at the house, they are overcome with the beau ty of the campus or intoxicated with the Carolina moon and they raise "merry Gain with the tele phone. But if you've been sorely tempted at times to pick up the entire apparatus and throw it the length of the corridor be cause., the dial system doesn't work for you, pause a minute and think what a blessing' the automatic system is to the per sonnel of the telephone company. There are 650 subscribers. And every one of their calls is handled automatically. The magical contrivances receive the number called and without the (Continued on page two) CHAPEL HILL, N.

Many students have changed their addresses since the direc tory has been printed. In order that these changes may be re corded, each student who changes, or who has changed his address is requested to call or come, to the Y office, and have his new address placed on a Master Directory. This Master Directory will be kept in the Y all the time, and it is very important that it be absolutely correct. Very often an important call cames for a student who has changed his address without making a rec ord of it at the Y. In such cases it isvery hard to secure the student right away. There will be a list of these changes in the Tar Heel each month, and it is advisable to copy .these changes into your in dividual directory.

WOODHOUSE, Pro fessor of Government In its total effect upon our in ternal and our external rela tions, the "Protective Tariff" is the greatest curse that has ever been inflicted upon the people of the United States. ,It does not really protect our working men and the'ir standard of living from the competition of the more poorly paid laborers of other countries with their low er standards of living, for it takes from our workers in the form of increased prices much more than it gives them in the form of increased wages. It does not benefit even the owners of the industries which it is sup posed to protect, since it en courages them to depend upon the artificial aid and stimulation of higher tariffs instead of up on more efficient management of the industries, and since it alienates or diminishes foreign markets and limits or destroys the foreign markets' of their domestic customers and there by lessens the capacity of those customers to buy. The very idea of such tariff "protection" is a relic of the misconceived medieval doctrine of Mercan tilism. Both Mercantilism, the NUMBER 30 FORMER STUDIM AUTHOR OF BO 0I Asheville Man Receives Recog nition as Writer; Gradu ated in 1920. Thomas Wolfe of Asheville, whose novel Look Homeward, Angel was recently published by Scribners, is a former stu dent at the University, having graduated in 1920. Wolfe is only 29 and has had short stories published as well as this novel. Look Homevmrd, Angel has been "given excellent reviews and has already attracted atten tion. The novel is laid in the south, mostly in the mountains of North Carolina west of Ashe ville. Part of the work, being of an autobiographical nature, is written around Chapel Hill and the University, and many of the places mentioned will be familiar to students here. Wolfe was a member of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity during his student days here, and was elected to membership in Sigma Upsilon, national literary fra ternity. He was editor of the Tar Heel in his senior year, and had also written several plays for the Playmakers, acting in his own productions. He ob tained his degree at 19, and went to Harvard for three years, studying dramatic technique in the 41 workship, George Baker's famous school of playwriting and dramatic production.

Mosher, state presi dent of the American Associa tion of University Women, will address the state branch of the association at Greensboro today, in the initial meeting of the year. Pocketbooks Found Twenty-one pocketbooks, stol en at Saturday's Georgia game, have been found with their con tents gone. Persons desiring to recover the purses, may have them by applying to Mr. P. L. Burch of the Buildings depart ment. plan of importing as little as possible and of exporting as much as possible with the de sign of inducing a steady inflow of currency to pay for the "fav orable" balance of trade, and its modern descendant, the widely praised and much misunderstood "Protective Tariff," are essen tially contrary to the well-established economic principle of in ternational trade that, in the long run, imports and exports tend to equal each other, and that it is better for both sides of the trade that they should be so equalized. Those from whom we buy are apt to buy from us in proportion as we buy from them. Of the 23 best custom ers of the United States in 1927, all but Chile buying from us one per cent or more of our exports, all but three (Soviet Russia in Europe, Denmark and British South Africa) were among the 24 who sent us most of our im ports, and all of these but Spain sold us as much as one per cent each of our, imports.
