FEBRUARY ISSUE LAW REVIEW HAS ARTICLEBY DEAN Of Exemplary Damages," Sub ject of McCormick's Article. The leading article in the February issue of. the North Carolina Law Review which ap pears this week is by Dean Mc Cormick of the law' school. It is entitled "Some Phases of the Doctrine of Exemplary Damag es" and is to form the substance of . a chapter in a book on dam ages which Dean McCormick is writing for publication by the West Publishing Company. It discusses the interesting mat ter of allowing exemplary dam- ages or smart money m cer tain cases where compensation does not give redress tor con duct which deserves punish ment. Dean McCormick ac knowledges the assistance of two students, John H. Anderson and H. B. Parker, in collecting authorities for the article. The second article is by Pro fessor Van Hecke and B. Thorn Lord, a third-year law student. It discusses the North Carolina doctrine as to parol trusts and is technical in its nature. Jef ferson B. Fordham, who is now Sterling Fellow at the Yale law school, writes an article on "Some Leeral Aspects of Em ployee Stock-Purchase Plans,' and thus raises some vital ques tions concerning . those plans which are now being tried out by many business concerns, large and small. Mr. Fordham graduated from the law school last year and is well known to the students and faculty of the University. There are 13 student notes and comments, John H. Ander son and Harry Rockwell con tributing two each. Probably the most important note is by Mr. Anderson on "Tax Advan- tno-ps of Incorporating North Carolina Enterprises Outside the State." He shows by statistics iust why it pays to incorpor ate a North Carolina business outside of North Carolina be cause of the heavier tax burden inmirred bv incorporating at home. Mr. Rockwell's two com ments deal with legal problems in pntinpption with checks and banking practices. In addition to these topics, the student ma terial includes the subjects of Income Taxation, Constitutional Law, Employers' Liability, In surance, Marriage and Divorce, Bank Deposits, Partition of Real Property and Quasi Contracts. The most picturesque case is discussed by Thomas W. Sprin kle. It concerned the applica tion of an accident insurance policy to the case of a man who died as a result of drinking wood alcohol which, unknown to (Continued on page two) TWO DANCES SET FORBYMIGYIil OVERSEER-END Law School To Give Annual Dance On Friday Night; Gholson To Lead. GRAIL DANCE SATURDAY (By Holmes Davis) After a rather strenuous week of mid-terms for the gen eral student body, and . a short relapse of time after the semi annual exams of the law school, the two sets will be allowed some amount of diversion this week end in the form of dances. The law school celebrates Friday night and the Grail will have its second dance of the quarter Sat urday night. The winter quarter is gen erally rather devoid of dances but it is expected that quite a few girls from various parts of the state will be present on the Hill over the week-end to attend these functions. Both the Grail and the law school are planning unusually gala affairs as this will probably be the last big week-end before the mid-winter dances to be held the 21st and 22nd of this month. The law school dance will be held in Bynum gymnasium. Music for the occasion will be furnished by Mendenhall's Tar Heels. The affair is to be for- mal, and no one will be admitted without a ticket. Each member of the law school will receive two tickets, including his own. A. W. Gholson, Jr., will lead the dance with Miss , Evelyn Stephenson of Abington, Va" He will be assisted by John Lewis with Miss Emily Dewey Mitch ell of Chapel Hill; O. A. W7arren with Miss Kathryn Barnette of Winston-Salem, and J. H. Chad bourne, whose partner has not been announced. Members of the faculty of the law school and their wives will act as chap erones, - One of the campus orchestras will play for the Grail dance, which will also be in Bynum gymnasium. The usual admis sion fee is to be charged. Regu lar German Club rules will be in effect at both affairs. Play-Likers To Appear Here m tdiuaren kji ine mooh Play To Be Given In Playmakers' Nights; Fourth Number On Playmakers' Season Program. o- ' The Play-Likers of North Car olina College will appear here Friday and Saturday -in Martin Flavin's modern tragedy "Child ren of.. the Moon." The pro duction, which is tjie fourth number on the season program of the Carolina Playmakers, will be presented at the Playmakers Theatre. A matinee will be given at 2 : 30 Saturday. "Children of the Moon" was presented by the Play-Likers at the Aycock auditorium, Greens boro, in November with consid erable success. The play is con sidered probably the most diffi cult production yet given by the North Carolina College players. The stage andlighting effects added much to the realism of the play. . The play centers around the love affair of a normal young English woman who is engaged to an aviator, but whose marri age is discouraged in every pos sible way by her selfish mother. Finally, the mother tells her daughter that insanity is here EXTENSION WORK IS OUTLINED BY R.EJ&MMAN Says Division Is Responsible For Bringing Educational Re sources Of State To People. AIDS HIGH SCHOOLS "The University of North Ca rolina extension division is the administrative agency of your state institution for making the resources and educational lead ership of the University avail able to the people of North Car olina." These are the words of Mr. Russell M. Grumman, head of the extension division, in the February issue of the Tar Heel Topics, in which he briefly out lines the extension services of the University. Mr. Grumman's message goes to "prospective students and their parents" who are the intended readers of Tar Heel Topics. Described as an institution that serves the high school gra duate before and after gradua tion, through the agency of a variety of school relations acti vities and bureaus, the extension division originated as a Univer sity bureau in 1912. Since its organization as a separate de partment in 1921, the enrollment of extra-mural students has grown to equal the number of students in residence at Chapel Hill. In his article Mr. Grumman (Continued on last page) Date Comprehensive Examination Changed At a call meeting of the de partment heads on Tuesday af ternoon, the date March 1 was set for the comprehensive ex aminations for majors in all de partments who expect to grad uate in June.

Theatre Friday And Saturday ditary in the family. So great is the power of suggestion that the daughter, brooding on this, actually becomes moon-mad. The play emphasizes not the force of heredity, but rather the power of suggestion. The Carolinian, reporting the presentation in Greensboro, said, "The play was one of idea and purpose, throughout which there prevailed an effect of weirdness which bordered on the supernatural and a feeling of human frailty and fatalism of life. The lighting and( sound ef fects contributed in no small de gree. to the success of the play. The lights of sunset and dark ness, the sounds of airplanes and fog horns and the beating of the waves on the rocks enhanced the realistic effect and gave tone to the whole setting." The critic for the Greensboro Daily News said of the perfor mance, "Labored preparation and appreciative interpretation were evident. The play itself (Continued on last page) Christianity And Judaism Are Closely Related Thinks Wise Playmaker Notice Tryouts will be held tonight at 7 o'clock in Gerrard hall for casting the following plays: "The Man on the Kerb," by Ayera Sutro, "Dawn," by Percival Wilde; "Enter the Hero," by Theresa Helburn ; "The Man in the Bowler Hat," by A.

ROBERTSON AIDED BY DISCOVERY OF LOSTMCfflVES Authenticity and Realism Given To Life of Miranda; Recov ery of Old Documents. UNIVERSITY PRESS BOOK It is to the discovery of the! lost archives of Francisco Mi- rana that much of the authen ticity and vivid realism of The Life of Miranda by William Spence Robertson is due. The book, in two volumes, is the lat est publication of the Univer sity Press, appearing the , first of this month. Recognized as a foremost authority on Latin-American history, Mr. Robertson has pro duced in this work an excellent account of the most spectacular career of the South American revolution period. As the first person to gain accession to the volumnous private records of Miranda, he has opened a vast store of hitherto - unpublished details about the romantic ad ventures of the "knight-errant of Spanish v American liberty." Among the copies of The His panic American Historical Re view, published by the Duke University Press, is found an article written by Mr. Robert son soon after he made the dis covery ot the lost archives m the library of Lord Bathurst in England. At that time, May 1927, the author stated that "tfyeir discovery will make im perative the rewriting of Miran da's life story." Therefore, .the appearance of his book through the University Press has caused a revival of interest in Mr. Rob ertson's account of the research involved in unearthing Miran da's long-lost memorabilia. When, in July 1812, General Miranda was forced to submit to Spanish Royalists in Vene zuela, the tomes containing his manuscripts were carried se cretly to the West Indies by the captain of a frigate upon which Miranda had - intended to em bark. There they were taken over by a British officer who dis continued on last page) National Treasurer Of Chi Omega Visits Here Mrs. Vesta Lockwood Watson of Washington, D.

In Speech Here Noted Rabbi Blames Christianity for Jews Not Accepting Faith. LEAVES FOR DANVILLE In Hurry to Make Train Con nections; To Deliver Lectures In Many Mid-Western Cities. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, founder of the Zionists Organi zation of America and noted rabbi of the Free Synagogue of New York, delivered his second address in Chapel Hill yesterday morning in Gerrard hall to ap proximately 800 " students and citizens. The subject of the lecture was "Jew and Christian: Agreements and Disagree ments." ; ' He began by stating that the old enmity between Christian and Jew expressed by the saying that "Orthodoxy is my doxy, heterdoxy is your doxy" should no longer prevail. "Christianity and Judaism are closely related," Dr. Wise stated "because after all Jesus of Naz areth was the son of a Jewess mother and knew nothing of the apostolic creeds which were later to compose the New Testa ment, c "Thewhole ideal of collective worship," he said in enumerat ing some of the agreements of the two religions, "was borrow ed from the Hebrew religion. Many of the hymns that are sung today came from the He brew Psalter, which was the soul of Judia, and the quest of holiness is the aim of both reli gionsIn short -Dr. Wisecon- sidered the two religions but two branches, of the same divine church. ; "The point of departure be tween the two faiths," Dr. Wise said in discussing some of the disagreements, "is Jesus of Naz areth. Christianity accepts Jesus as 'uniquely divine,' and holds that the Messiah is yet to come, not in the form of a per sonality, but in the self -redemptive power of the human race, not through the death of one, (Continued on last page) Former Student To - Seek Governorship Of Western State C.
