Mr. Williams is to sup port the affirmative side of the case, and Professor Woodhouse will oppose the question. Mr. Williams, born in San Francisco, is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and Union Theological Seminary. He took graduate courses at the University of Iowa and Colum bia University, working inter mittently as a miner1 to defray his expenses. Decorated for War Services Finishing his work at Union Theological Seminary just at the outbreak of the World War, he enlisted as a chaplain and served two years in France, first with the Tenth Engineers and then as a senior chaplain with thirty chaplains and 50,000 soldiers un der his care. He was decorated by the Fieiiclr government and cited by General Pershing. Following the War, Mr. Wil liams was for ten years in charge of the Peoples Church of St. Paul, where he distinguished himself for effective moral and civic service .to the people.

Farmer-Labor candidate for Congress and again received a large vote. Mr. Williams has travelled ex tensively in this and foreign countries, meeting personally many of the social, political and labor leaders' of Europe. He has also studied Mexico and inter viewed there the President of the Republic, members of his Cabinet and various outstanding personalities. He is now travel ling over the United States or ganizing, stimulating and coop erating with local third-party political movements that will eventually unite to create for this country a critical opposi tion party comparable to the British Labor Party.

For several years he was professor of government at Yale and later held the same chair at Smith College. For several years he practiced law.

WORD ARBORETUM PRODUCES STRANGE EFFECT ON CO - ED (By John Patric) "Dr. Jung, of Vienna, invent ed a list of 100 words, which con tain ' references to every con ceivable kind of emotional ac tivity, such as hate, fear, rage, love, and many other things. It is possible," continued the psy chology lecturer, "to touch off definite reactions within the human system that may be measured by instruments which record the flow of electricity through the human body. "Of course, here at Carolina, our key words are slightly dif ferent than the Vienna list. They meet, as it were, local con ditions." It seems' that two students were being' examined. One was a co-ed, the other was just an ordinary student. But the time was summer school and the room wasn't unattractive noth ing was said about the co-ed; but we suspect maybe she wasn't so pretty. "In our list of 100 words we included 'arboretum.' When the blase masculine subject was given the test, he passed over the list without a quiver of the galvanometer needle at that point, but when the girl heard 'arboretum,' the needle jumped clear off the record paper!" Of such are the wonders of psychology.' Finally! ! ! Playing their steadiest game of the year Carolina's Tar Heel ettes broke into the victory col umn last night, trimming the Chapel Hill Basketeers 22-17. The Basketeers got off a 7-0 lead early in the game, but the co-eds rallied late in the. half, which ended with the Chapel Hill aggregation holding a three point lead. Successive goals by Lee and Way put the co-eds ahead early in the second half. After tnis they were never headed, the game ending 22-17 with Way leading the attack. Way and Thacker, forwards, 'and Hill, guard, starred for the Heelettes. M. Parker and Eth- rydge led the high school team.j -i a Wav taA Wo Ktroriner, h hav ng 8 points to their each having 8 points u CHAPEi; HlCL, N. C FRIDAY, .

It is the plan of the Y for these discussions to take more of the form of an ordinary "bull session" rather than a formal talk. The topics to be discussed will be those of most interest to the students present. The meet ings are to be led by some leader who is expected to hold the dis cussion to the original subject. Y officials request all students to be present at the first meet ings in the dormitories in order that they' may not only help to get the meeting off to a good start, but also that they may take part in the discussions.! -For the first three Mondays in the month these discussions will be conducted in the dormi tories, and on the fourth Monday a mass meeting will be held in Gerrard hall. .This gathering will be led by some member of the faculty selected by the Y. At this meeting some of the sub jects discussed in the dormitory groups will be ,discussed by the group.

PERFORM IN SWAIN HALL The Russian Symphonic Choir, under the direction of Sergei Kabalchich, has been definitely booked "to appear at Swain hall, Monday night, February 10, The student entertainment committee yesterday voted un animously to secure these sing ers in place of the Ben Greet Players whose scheduled appear ance was cancelled due to lack of proper facilities. . The organization is composed of 24 men and women, most of ! whom are from the- Russian nobility. All have excellently trained voices, many having been soloists in the Russian cathe drals for years. Ten years ago, when the poli tical crisis in Russia made life almost unendurable for these people, Sergei Kabalchich' de cided to organize the choir. He brought his singers to America, and since that date they have re mained on this continent. Dur ing these years the personnel has varied only slightly. The success of the organiza tion has led to the establishment of d repertoire which includes over two thousand numbers. These selections cover a .wide field, including cathedral music, music from the Russian operas, various folk songs, and vocal transcriptions of the leading or chestral symphony movements. The director of the group is responsible for a great many ar rangements used exclusively by them. . The choir has crossed the con tinent at least twenty times, and it is the general opinion of critics that it has established a standard of choral perfection which has earned for itself the name, Symphonic Choir. H. S. Dyer, head of the music department, knows Mr. Kabal chich personally, and has re quested a copy of the program. Before the date of the choir's appearance Mr. Dyer will make comments on the program for the Tar Heel readers.

Co-Ed Dance NUMBER 88 BENEATH TROPIC SEAS IS TOPIC OF BEEBE'S LECTURE Noted Sea And Jungle Explorer Will Give An Illustrated Talk Under Auspices Of Student Entertainment Committee. TO BE HERE JANUARY 31 William Beebe, noted scientist and lecturer, will give his latest popular lecture, "Beneath Tropic Seas," when, he appears here January 31 in Swain hall. His lecture will be the first number on the entertainment commit tee's program for this quarter, since the engagement with the Bin Greet Players was canceled. The lecture is an account of the wonders and beauties of life in the ocean depths, and will be accompanied by underwater mo tion pictures in color. He has ; with, his explorations in the depths of the seas opened up a new field of Investigation. He has incorporated his first trip to the Galapagos and. his second to the Sargosso Sea into English literature in his popular books which he has written on the subject. In his trips to Nonsuch Island last summer and to Haiti a year ago he has made even more wonderful 'discoveries and was able to record them with a new ly perfected cast steel camera for making pictures beneath the the surface of the ocean. It is of these trips that he will speak in his lecture here. Before he became interested in deep sea life, Mr. Beebe had devoted his investigations to ' jungle dwellers and in that con nection wrote several books which give a picture of jungle life and the romantic atmosphere contained in the dark recesses of the primeval forests. Mr.Beebe not only is a paint- i ' i i i ii er ana etcner . ot consiaeraoie talent, but he has the ability to paint with words the color, the life, the vividness of .those strange lands above and below the surface of the water that he has seen. Little was known of the strange life at the bottom of the limitless tracks . of ocean depths, of the blaze and glory of weird and fantastic denizens of the deep, and of the gorgeous coloring of the surface fish, un til Beebe presented them to the world in his admirable writings and lectures. y Der Deutsche Verein Dr. Caldwell of the history department has consented to make a short talk before the members of the German society on the "First German Hero."
