LAWYERS STAGE v DANCE Annual Affair Held in Bynum Gym Last Night; Many Girls On Hill for Week-end Social Events. The Law school enjoyed one of the best dances of the sea son last night in the gym ac cording to those attending that affair. Alex ' Mendenhall and his Tar Heel Boys provided ex cellent music. Another dance will take place in the gymnasium tonight when the Grail starts at nine o'clock. This is the second dance given by the Grail this quarter and promises to be an enjoyable oc casion. In an effort to get the dance started earlier than are the average dances, the dance com mittee of the Order of the Grail has announced vthat" the first five girls to arrive will each be given an attractive box of can dy. However, this of fer will not be in effect unless the first five girls arrive before nine-thirty o'clock. This is rather a unique offer and it is expected that the dance will begin on time. " Tickets will be placed oh sale to those attending stag at eight- thirty. The price was recently raised to one dollar instead of the former price of seventy-five cents. Boys bringing a girl can secure their tickets at the door. Only a limited number of " stags are admitted due to the limited floor space in the gym. Due to the dance held last night and the dance fixed for tonight, quite a few girls are spending: the week-end on the Hill. All of these are expected to be present at the dance to night, and with the average supply of co-eds there should be a girl for everybody. The dance will be under "the supervision of the German Club executive committee, and those ladies invited to chaperone. Boys and girls are reminded of one of the rules which prevents any girl from coming back to the dance who leaves the gym while the dance is in progress. Glee Club Wins News was received last night just as the Tar Heel was going to press that the Carolina Glee Club won first place in the contest at Green ville, S. C. this will mean that the club will make the trip to New York for the National - contest. Furman won second; Wofford third. RVIN S. COBB PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE HERE Famous Humorist Praises North Carolina in Appearance Here .' " 'Last' Night.'; SPEAKS IN GERR ARD HALL HIGHWAY BEAUTY SUBJECT OF MRS. LAWTON'S SPEECH y Chairman National Council of Roadside Protection Talks to Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs. Wardlaw to Broadcast Jack Wardlaw's orchestra and the Carolina Banjo Boys will broadcast from WPTF in Ral aight every Monday evening from 7 : 15 to 8 o'clock, featuring the Mebane Royal "King of Sleep" hour. The orchestra is known as the "Best for Rest Kingsdown Orchestra," and will ' present a different program each week. The banjo trio is com- posedV of Jack Wardlaw, Carl j Whitaker and Frank Zappa. Wardlaw's orchestra was re organized this quarter with the the following personnel : Bran dol James, piano; W. A. Biggs, drums ; George Lawson, bass ; Jack Wardlaw, banjo; Frank Householder, first trumpet ; Bill Jarman, second trumpet; Bill Stringf ellow, saxophone ; Bill Allsbrook, saxophone; Jesse Johnson, saxophone. The radio programs are under the super vision of Bill Abernathy. Mrs. W. L. Lawton, chairman of the national council for pro tection of roadside beauty, is visiting Chapel Hill on a survey for the National Nature Associ ation. Mrs. Lawton is touring two southern states. North Carolina and Florida. Her stay here is being sponsored by the Chapel Hill Community Club and the Jefferson Davis Highway Committee of the U. D. C. Mrs. Lawton gave an illus trated lecture Wednesday before the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs and members of the American Legion Post and the U. D. C. She outlined four points with which to achieve her aim of highway beauty. v .First she urged "that' the scars along the roadways be covered up by planting exposed shoulders andi banks in grass and, second, that trees be replaced and planted. Thirdly, she suggested that one per cent of the state highway funds, to be matched by a fed eral fund, be used for padside beauty. Fourth, she called on civic bodies to get together to beautify the approaches to cities and towns in the state. Mrs. Lawton said that filling stations, hot dog stands and other unsightly structures should be pushed back from the road side. Billboard advertising came in for condemnation, the speak er urging the restriction of bill boards to commercial areas. She said that in traveling from Raleigh to Durham there was an advertising sign every seven and a half seconds. The speak er pleaded for roadside beauty for North Carolina largely as a drawing card for tourists, de daring that the tourist travel item ranked fourth in the state's industries, bringing in more money than the furniture and some other leading industries. Before a large and apreciative audience which crowded Ger rard hall last night, Irvin S. Cobb, the inimitable wit and ra conteur of the world and of Pa ducah, Kentucky, spoke and joked in the true Cobbian man ner. .. '.; - . .n . Dr. Collier Cobb, who was in troduced by Ashby Perm, a stu dent at the University and. through whose kind offices this talk was arranged, presented the famous journalist and writer. In his short introduction, the head of the geology department re ferred to the creator of "Judge Knight Defends Extension Services In Current Issue Of Adult Education Journal Priest" as "North Carolina's H. O. Hill Talks To Cain Society Fraternity Notice All pictures for the fraternity and dance sections of the Yack ety Yack must be taken by Feb ruary 15.

Mr. Hill first explained the immense size of the undertak ing and then showed what ef forts the Mississippi River Com mission is making to prevent the ( ing. recurrence of disastrous floods such as occurred in 1927. . The slides shown by Mr. Hill illustrated many phases of the work of the commission and showed the methods used in con structing the" many miles of levees along the lower part of the Mississippi. press agent." The opening re marks of Irvin S. Cobb's talk justified this appellation. He characterized the Tar Heel country as the "moust outstand ing state in the entire American commonwealth.'" With a cer tainty based upon his travels in this state more than twenty-five years ago, the internationally known war correspondent de clared that "no state has made such rapid strides in progress during the last twenty years as has North Carolina." Regaling the listeners with an excellent anecdote which served as a basis of comparison, hef stated 'that "any man who has not visited nor seen the Old North State can not claim to having seen America. .-' ' ' The two Cobbs who were up on the platform are distantly re- ated. And the bigger one claimed a direct kinship with North Caroiina. He explained n detail hgw his great grand- f athed departed these fair lands for more northern climes . . . . and how his ancestor was not forgotten. Indeed, as Irvin S. Cobb added, the sheriff of the county went after his paternal forbear in order to induce him to return td the land of his fam ily. Shortly after . the beginning of the tale, the man after whom a great hotel in Paducah has been named, apologized for not having any set speech or lec ture prepared. He said that .it had been suggested to him that he narrate' one of his most me morable experiences that occur red to him while acting as a war, correspondent in the Great War. The story that he chose to tell was one that happened in the earliest days of the conflict; one in which he was a central figure but by no means "hero." Cold print can not reproduce the drama as effectively as' it was told. The gestures, the facial expressions, the rise and fall of the voice, the aping of the ac cents of the German command ants and the many minute, but important characteristics that have made Irvin S. Cobb one of the most sought after speakers in the country would rob the story of its humor and pathos if they were not a part of the tell Under the title of "The Re turn of Hippodamus," Profes sor Edgar W. Knight of the School of Education, writes in the current issue of the Journal of Adult Education a defense of university extension activities. He traces the history of educa tional extension and points out the work of many conspicious figures in the movement from the days of Hippodamus to the present extension service of Columbia University, and the University of North Carolina. S Universities now accept the principle that they owe very de finite duties to the people of the state as well as the students in residence and put their resouces in as wide professional and pub lic service as possible, the article states. But ever since the Uni versity of Chicago and the Uni versity of Wisconsin found that they could and should minister to more people than those who actually entered the campus, protests have been made against the university going afield. Some people look upon exten sion "not as a son of honor but as the issue of the university's misplaced confidence in a phil andering state. .They insist that extension is unauthorized and should be treated as alma mat er's illegitimate offspring. Both in its origin and in its record for usefulness the idea of expert service to the state by univer sity teachers and organized edu cational agencies has respect ability not merely to mention but to brag about," the article says. It tells of the work of Alcuin, "probably the most important educational expert in western Europe during the first half of the middle ages," who came over from York and took charge of Charlemagne's extension ser vicer He awakened a desire for study, established and developed schools, gave attention to the conving and preservation of manuscripts, and to the enlarge ment and use of libraries. "Some of the monks were even enlivened a bit and lent a hand to advance the cause. Charle magne himself improved his handwriting and learning enough about the moon to calcu late Easter, and those who for merly had prayed badly because of incorrect books were now en abled to pray more 'properly. And any extension service that makes for livelier monks, better handwriting, ana! better prayers is not to be treated lightly." The article points to the work of Abelard, premier dialectician, free-thinking author of a famous textbook, and skilful classroom teacher, and asks "But who can Continued on last page PLAY-LIKERS TO PRESENT SECOND SHOWING TODAY - s, First Presentation Given Last Night At Playmakers Theatre Before Large Audience.

The Play-likers, who pre sented their first showing of Martin Flavin's tragedy "Chil dren of the Moon" before a large audience last night at the Play makers Theatre, will give a mat inee and evening showing again today. The matinee will be at 2:30 arid the performance to night at 8:30. , The cast for the play is the same as that appearing in the production given in Greensboro last fall: The parts are handled by actors and actresses who have had previous experience. Vera Buckingham, who . plays the role of Laura Atherton, the' selfish mother, has appeared in "Chanticleer," "The Cradle Song," "Polly With a Past" and "Dear Brutus." Eloise Banning plays the role of Jane Atherton, the daughter whose engagement to a young aviator forms the basis of the plot. ' James Hodge, who has the role of Major John Bannister, the aviator, has appeared many times in the Play-likers' pro- ..... . ductions. ' Ruth Abbott, playing the part of Madame Atherton, 'Jane's grandmother, has taken part in several-former productions.- The old woman in "Will O' the Wisp" is her most outstanding work. The role of Judge Atherton is played by W. R. Taylor, who, as director of the Play-likers, has won recognition not only for the productions of that group, but likewise for the roles he has played in' their various perform ances. A. T. West, who plays the part of Dr. Wetherell, is assistant di rector of the Play-likers, and is directing "Children of the Moon." ; Others appearing in the pro duction have played in other shows of the Play-likers. This is the fourth number on the regular season program of the Carolina Playmakers. DEBATERS PICKED FOR COMING MEETS The regular weekly meeting of the varsity debate squad Thursday night took the form of a tryout on "Resolved, that modern science tends to destroy theistic faith." J. C. Williams, W. W. Speight, J. A. Wilkinson and M. B. Fleming-Jones were chosen to compose the two teams which will meet Emory and Georgia Tech at Atlanta, late in the present month. Wil liams and Wilkinson will debate against Georgia Tech. Speight and Fleming-Jones .will tackle Emory. The debates will be held on successive days very prob ably February 26 and 27. In both engagements the Carolina representatives will uphold the affirmative side of the question. Junior in once Juniors who have not. se lected their proofs for the Jun ior class section will have their' last chance to do so today, ac cording to Yeckety Yack of ficials. Mr. Moulton will select proofs for those who do not se lect their own.
