Registrar Says That Usual Rule
Of Class Attendance Will
Apply To Thanksgiving Holi
days. The registrar's office desires
to call the attention of the un
dergraduate student body to the
long-standing regulation of the
University with regard to ab
sences incurred immediately be
fore and after, holiday periods.
Regulations require class at
tendance on the day before and
the day after all holidays. Vio
lation of this regulation is pun
ishable by strict probation for
the remainder of the ' quarter.
Authorized leaves of absence are
not and can not be granted cov
ering such a period, regardless
of the apparent urgency of the
case. Those students , living at
a distance from Chapel Hill are
in no wise exceptions' to this
rule.
Juniors and seniors taking
freshman and sophomore classes
are required to attend such
courses ; but attendance on jun
ior and senior courses by jun
iors and seniors is optional for
such periods just as at other
times.
Y CABINETS HOLD
WEEKLY MEETINGS
The three Y cabinets met last
Monday night at the Y. M. C. A.
The freshman council opened
its program with devotional ex
, ercises led by Archie Davis, af
ter which JEL F. Comer,general
secretary of the Y, gave a talk
on the Bible. Mr. Comer gave
as the reason for the Bible's
popularity that it was. based on
actual experience which had
taken place during the life and
growth of the world. He con
tinued by saying that the sum
of all the copies of the Bijble sold
would exceed the total number
of sold copies of 500 of the best
known books. After answering
a few of the questions asked by
the cabinet, Mr.. Comer closed
his program with a few reasons
why the Bible was such a great
book. ' -
After the roll call it was an
nounced that a scientist would
be the speaker at the next meet
ing. Mr. Comer closed the pro
gram with a word of prayer.
Professor W. F. Ferger, of the
economics department, talked to
the sophomore cabinet on the
"State Labor Situation." Pro
fessor Ferger stated that he was
very much in favor of the pres
ent trade unions and collective
bargaining. He admitted that
the unions did not stand by their
rules and regulations ; "but," he
continued, "the union organiza
tion is a step in the right direc
tion. The merchants' and the
manufacturers' associations can
stick together, so why can't the
labor unions?" In reference to
the Gastonia disturbances he
closed by stating that no man
should be permitted to come in
to the unions and demand higher
wages and then stand back and
let the laborers suffer from the
strike. Professor Ferger seemed
to be very optimistic as to the
future labor conditions.
The program for the junior
senior cabinet was a general dis
cussion. Senior Notice

Performers Will Appear Here
In Two Shows at Tin Can ;
"Uncle Wiggily" and "Skippy"
Toe Shown.
(By Edward French)
Marionettes are-almost as old
as the world. The puppet of
yesteryear and the modern mar
ionette differ simply in the
many refinements of mechan
ism "and ideas of presentation.
In early ages people employed
them to depict certain phases of
their beliefs; now they - have
found a welcome place in the en
tertainment needs of all classes
of people. : .: 1
In the Jean Gros' French Mar
ionettes, which will give two
performances in the Tin Can to
morrow as a feature of the stu-
dentJ entertainment program, is
to be found every refinement of
the puppet art; The marionettes
appear on their own quaintly de
vised stage, before scenery made
in proportion to their size, seat
ing themselves on chairs by
tables, drinking, smoking, talk
ing laughing, doing everything
that a human being can tlo, and
then performing a wealth of ex
tra tricks that no human being
can accomplish. -
All this is made possible by
a company of trained actors, mu
sicians and puppeteers who have
been associated with the art for
countless seasons rehearsing
week in and week out to attain
the fine points of the manipula
tion.' The art of working mar
ionettes is perhaps the most dif
ficult task in the theatre. Great
skill is required to operate - a
puppet, sometimes necessitating
as much as six months practice
before a public performance
can be given. Perfect balance
must be obtained before the
puppet can be made to walk
and make gestures that are in
rhythm with the spoken line. Mr.
Gros marionettes are noted for
their realism, and the perform
ances as a whole have been ac
claimed in every section of the
country.
; During the past season the
marionettes played to over six
hundred and fifty thousand chil
dren and almost that many
adults. Due to the influence of
the French marionettes, schools
have opened courses covering
this art of the theatre. Educa
tors have been quick to see that
the puppet theatre gives un
limited scope to the imagination,
also that it requires the use of
every art: music, the drama,
painting, sculpture, costuming,
mechanics, etc. Gordon Craig,
Maurice Maeterlinck, and other
higfi luminaries of the literary
field have always believed that
marionettes had a very definite
niche in th'e value of the drama,
arid consequently have spent
years in studying the possibili
ties of the figures, and have con
tributed pieces of literature for
their use.

NUMBER 53
RED CROSS ROLL
CALL TO BE MADE
ONCMffUSSOON
Annual Drive To Be Made Dar
ing Week; Great Benefits
Received From Organization.
The annual Red Cross drive
for the student body will start
some time this week. One night
this week each dormitory will
be canvassed for contributions.
The nation-wide Red Cross drive
closed sometime last week, but
as yet no drive has been, made
on the campus alone. Every
student on the campus is eli
gible to the benefits of the na
tional Red Cross. Each student
has as much right to the help
of the Red Cross as any citizen
in the state.
For the past three years the
state of North Carolina has
raised, through collections, con
tributions and other ways, $45,
000 for the Red Cross, but dur
ing these three years the state
had drawn from the national
Red Cross, funds "amounting to
$190,006 to meet all the emer
gency calls that arose. By this
it may be easily seen that the
state is still indebted to the Red
Cross for $145,000.
During the late New Bern fire
the Red Cross rendered various
sorts of aid, such as getting food,
clothing, homes,V and other
necessities for those people who
were hurt by the fire. Then also
during the Sanford coal mine
disaster the Red Cross carried
food and other necessities of life
to all the injured. r These are
o major deeds done . by
the Red Cross, not to speak1 of
the thousands of daily ' services
rendered. '
To bring the work nearer
home, last year a student of the
University broke his arm. He
was laid up in bed for quite a
while without being able to get
about and earn his board. Being
a self-help student he was un
able to pay his hospital bill. To
help the student out the Red
Cross paid all of his hospital
bills and other expenses and
helped him to get back on his
feet again.
