J I t WRESTLlfVG TONIGHT VARSITY vs. STATE 8:30 - TIN CAN WINTER FOOTBALL 2 OXLOCR TODAY KENAN STADIUM VOLUME XXXVIII THREE PLAYS BY PAUL GREEN NO? BEING PRODUCE ) "Tread The Green Grass" Is Being Rehearsed Now In New York; "The Field God" Praised In Chicago. Paul Green is a busy man these days. Besides doing his usual work in philosophy each day, he finds time to work on a new play,, and of week-ends, commute to Broadway to re hearse his forthcoming produc tion of "Tread the Green Grass.' which is being produced by a man new in the field, William D. Blake. The play is scheduled to open during the latter part of this month. Mr. Green says it is a folk fantasy and will have music and a dumb show. The latter, an old theatrical artifice, is always new whenever used. This time moving pictures " will be substituted for puppets. A few weeks ago Mr. Green made a trip to Chicago to re hearse a revival of "The Field God," which Thomas Wood Stevens, director of the Good man Theatre has done. The re views of this production, which opened January 28, are a credit certainly to Mr. Green as a play wright and to Mr. Stevens as a director. The Chicago Herald critic, speaking of one scene in the play, comments : v ; it was an upclimbing scene that held me. It was neither so stagy nor so well staged as the one it somewhat recalled from Torgy.' It was an honest scene in as honest a play as I have ever witnessed. Paul Green, of 'In Abraham's Bosom' wrote it; and if 'Abraham' was worth Pulitzer prize, 'The Field God' ought to have two. It was vir tually a new play last night. "Nor was this scene of hy steria arid superstition the only one that jiggled the marrow in my spine. The play, while ap parently one of 'atmosphere and local color' reflected farm life among the whites in eastern North Carolina was packed with drama. And all the packing was beautifully knitted into a web of fate. Never did tragedy seem more inevitable . so far as the fates were concerned, and never in a recent play, was it more desperately vanquished by the strength of man." "Potter's Field," a Green play of negro life, is being produced by Sidney Ross, with Jasper Deeter as director. This play which depicts something of the life of Chapel Hill's negro quarter, was supposed to have begun rehearsal in Philadelphia some weeks ago, but so far Mr. Green has heard nothing of it. There are about thirty charac ters in the full-length play, which will be done without in terruption, that is, the audience will see it in one sitting. Another play, "The House of Connelly," which was bought by the Theatre Guild and was scheduled for production this fall, has been postponed until next season. This play has about seventy-five characters and deals with the decay of an aris tocratic southern family. ' At present, Mr. Green is work ing on a new play, showing the disintegration of an educated and sensitive weak soul in a small southern community. If anyone should care to know, what Paul Green is not doing these days, follow Milt Gross's suggestion and "Dun't esk." Magazine Notice Due to the fact that a number of comprehensive ex aminations will be given on March 1, the next issue of the Carolina Magazine will be printed one week early states John Mebane, Editor. It will not be delivered until March 2, but all copy must be in to the editor by Wednesday, February 19. All contributions should fee sent to Post Office Box 710. Y MM TO HEAR THREETOPRS U. T. Holmes, H. F. Comer, And R. B. House To Address Three Cabinets. U . T. Holmes,' professor of French, will address the sopho more cabinet Monday night on the subject of "Comparative Religion." Professor Holmes talk will be the second of a ser ies; Dean Bell spoke to the group last week on "Religion of Science." The program of the junior senior cabinet will be a discus sion of the. "New Attitude on Morals." This discussion will be led by H. F. Comer, general secretary of the Y. It is planned that this discussion continue for at least six meetings, this dis cussion being the second of the series. R. B. House, executive secre tary of the University, will be the speaker for the freshman council Monday night at the Y at 7 :15. The programs for this cabinet for the past two or three meetings have been fea tured by speakers. Last meet ing Dr. Meyer of the sociology department spoke to the cabinet on fa philosophy of key words, giving six words that would help one to adapt himself. Junior Co-ops Will Have Examinations During Coming Week Junior cooperative engineer ing students will have examina tions next week beiore going back on the work to which they have been assigned. The exam inations, which cover the work done since Christmas, will be gin Monday and run the entire week. On Monday, February 24, the members of group of the cooperative engineers, will reDort for seven weeks' work in the industrial plants, after which they will again re turn to the University. The schedule of examinations as announced yesterday is as follows : Monday a. m.: Engineering 12b; p. m. : Engineering 60b. Tuesday a. m.: Engineering 90b; p. m.: Mathematics 57.

C SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1930 DEBATE COUNCIL SCHEDULES EIGHT MORE CONTEST Eight Debates And Oratorical Meeting Will Complete For- ensic Year. The present plans of the de bate council for the remainder of the collegiate year call for eight debates with colleges and universities scattered through out the South., The council has also accepted an - invitation to send a representative to the state-wide, oratorical contest, the contestants to speak upon "The Flag," and has chosen H. H. , Hobgood as the University's representative. . In. the first intercollegiate debates of the present quar ter the Tar Heel debaters will journey to Atlanta on February 25 to meet Emory and Georgia Tech on the affirmative side of iveaui v eu . x im l iuuucx 11 science tends to destroy theistic faith.' J. C. Williams and J. A. Wilkin son will engage Georgia Tech, while W. W. Speight and McB. Fleming Jones will tackle Emory. ' The second home debate will occur when the representatives of George Washington Universi ty meet the local debaters in Gerrard hall; February 28, on ivcoui v cu jLiiai Hie iidtxuiio yi the world should adopt some plan of complete disarmament of all forces, except those which are necessary for police pur poses." Later v there will be a return engagement between the two institutions at Washington. G. P. Carr and J. M. Baley com pose the affirmative team ; H. H. Hobgood and C. W. Meares are the personnel of the negative outfit. The council does not yet know which team will de bate in Chapel Hill. On, or about, April 1 the Uni versity of Maryland will send a team to Chapel Hill to debate the disarmament question, this being the third encounter of the i A a season on tnis question. At a later date the Carolina debaters will go to College Park for a re turn engagement. The tryouts for selecting the affirmative and negative teams will be announc ed in a later issue of this paper. There is, . also, the probability of a dual debate with Boston University on the same question sometime in April. The Carolina-Northwestern debate on "Resolved: That the chain store in its present form should be. abolished" will be held in Gerrard hall on April 15. It is not yet known which side of the question Carolina will . uphold in this debate. The University's intercolleg iate debating season will be brought to a close by the sec ond annual Carolina-Virginia radio debate, which will be broadcast from Raleigh late in April. The question to be de- bated is "Resolved: That the thirteen months calendar should be adopted." Last year Speight and Williams met the Virginia debaters : at Richmond in the first radio debate in the history of the two institutions. No de cision was rendered on this oc casion. This time, however, the council plans to ask the radio audience to mail their decisions to station WPTF, from which the debate will be broadcast. Peiping Feb. 14, (IP) school r of journalism in Yench ing University liere has been in operation since last April and is considered very successful; MORE THAN 400 SELF-HELPERS 1 0N REGULAR JOBS Bureau Survey Shows Swain Hall Employs Largest Num ber of These. At least 430 of the self-help students of the University of North Carolina are working at regular scheduled jobs of so many hours a week. This does not include those doing odd jobs, or graduate students holding as sistant instructorships. A', recent survey of the Self help Bureau shows that Swain Hall employs the largest number of boys, but other places that use student help are the laundry, building department, Graduate hall, Dean Bradshaw's office, alumni office, Welcome Inn cafe teria, Tar Heel Club, Univer sity Cafeteria, I Carolina Inn Cafeteria, Archer House, Caro- lina House, Bacheldr Club, Gooch's Cafe, Woltz Coffee Shop, Carolina Theatre, Book Exchange, all confectionery shoos, the boarding houses of Mrs. Pickens, Mrs. Merritt, Mrs. McBriar. and Mrs. Ledbetter and a host of others. During the past summer the Self-help Bureau received 400 applications from, would-be stu dents. Of these 309 actually came. Thirty-eigjit per cent of those applying are sons of farm ers, and eight per cent are or- phans or sons of widowed moth r ers;.. ; . ; The self-help secretary, inter viewed 115 men during the first two days of school. It is his duty not only to aid boys in obtaining j5bs but also to help and advise them in working out financial nroblems. Many students need X : w encouragement more than f inan cial aid. One of the most remarkable records in the files of the bureau is that of a boy who worked 48 hours per week and made an A and two Bs in his studies. Another interesting case is that of a young man who enter ed the University last year with $150 in the bank. He had no regular job throughout the year but worked at odd errands through the bureau. At the end of the year he had a balance of $5 in the bank, and the sum of $27 in his pocket and all bills paid. . , The office has already receiv- ed 213 requests asking for infor mation and blanks for next year. These applicants have been sent fifteen-page information booklets and on March 1 will be mailed blanks on which to ap ply for jobs at Swain hall. The .secretary is available at the Y. M. C. A. building at all times from 8 to 5 to help in any way."!.-;. " Deutscher Klub To Meet Next Sunday Dr. E. C. Metzenthin an nounced yesterday that the reg ular ; meeting of the Deutscher Klub which was originally in tended to be held tomorrow will be postponed until the following Sunday, February 23, when it will meet at 4:30 p. m. in his home on Hillsboro street. Chase In Lexington Dr. Harry W. Chase left yes terday for Lexington, where he will spend the week-end. While there he will address the alumni nf that section. He will also speak in the pulpit of the Meth odist church. Staff Meeting There will be the regular meeting of the entire Tar Heel staff Sunday night at 7 o'clock in the offices. All reporters, assistant editors and city editors must attend these meetings. Four Caro lina theatre passes will' be awarded at this time and work for the remainder of the quarter will be outlined. SHIPLEY GIVES MATTER UNUSUAL CLASSIFICATION Noted Astronomer Speaks Here To Scientific Research Society. A new classification of all material systems from the small est known part to the greatest of the . super-galaxies arranged in order of increasing mass was presented by Dr. Harlow Shap ley, director of Harvard College Observatory, last night in the second of two lectures he pre sented under the auspices of Sigma Xi, scientific research society. Dr. Shapley in the two lec tures attempted to show how there is a definite system of or ganization existing between all material systems. Led on by his success in classifying the galac tic and globular clusters, he at tempted to classify all material bodies in some all-inclusive, usable table. The results of his efforts, a classification which in cludes everything from the most minute now known to the great est, was presented in his sec ond lecture last night. This classification shows the relation that exists between all material systems and demon strates that there is actually a flight from chaos in the organ ization of the universe. In his lecture Dr. Shapley presented in his classification a new conception of interstellar material in what he calls ,cosmo plasma, which includes all mat ter that cannot be placed in any system. The matter of. inter stellar space can be shown to exist, but this new classification is the first to be presented which includes all material systems and this interstellar material as well. In his original classification, which he has only recently com pleted, Dr. Shapley leaves at both extremities of his table a section which he does not desig nate wtih any name. These un designated sections one of which falls below the electron and quanta in mass and the other which comes after the super-galaxy and the universe- indicate, said the speaker, that he does not consider that all material systems have been dis covered. Dr. Shaplejrs lectures were sponsored by the North Caro lina chapter of Sigma Xi, na tional scientific research society, which annually brings to the campus some eminent scientist who delivers a series of scien tine lectures. Loan Fund Available The attention of women grad uate students is called to the A: A. U. W. loan fund, established bv. the local chapter of the American Association of Uni versity Women. From this fund a sum not to exceed $100 is available each year. NUMBER 107 DYER HEADS NEW SOUTH ATLANTIC Gp CLUB GROUP University Professor Elected President Of Southern Divi sion Of Intercollegiate Asso ciation. Professor Harold S. Dyer, head of the music department here, was recently made presi dent of the new South Atlantic Glee Club Association. . The southern organization was chartered this year by the national council of the Intercol legiate Glee Club Association at New York City, as a result of the reapportioning of the various contest districts throughout the United States. North and South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia are included in the new division. The executive committee has sent out invitations to many schools which have not partici pated in the contests heretofore. The territory includes 21 schools which, either maintain men's choruses or could well do so. The schools which have been most active forv the past three years are chiefly from the Caro linas and Virginia with the ex ception of one from Alabama which has been removed from the district by the redivision of territories. Due to its- location, North Carolina has a good chance , to become the seat of next year's contest. The decision will be made by the executive commit- ee next fall.; The new organi zation "does away completely; with the state contests for glee clubs. If the number of schools competing in the new district contest is very great elimination contests will be held about ten days before the chief one. Among the North Carolina schools eligible for the contest are: uuKe, waKe rorest, naon, Guilford, State and Davidson. There are seven schools in Vir ginia, six in South Carolina, six in Tennessee and five in Georgia. Phi Zeta Nu Taps Johnson And Horney Phi Zeta Nu, honorary - local electrical engineering fraternity, tapped P. G. Johnson of Ashe ville and G. F. Horney of Greensboro for membership in the organization last Thursday ' evening. The tapping took place at the regular meeting of the Univer sity - branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers which was held in Phillips hall. At the meeting of the institute, officers to serve the remainder of the year were elected. Those chosen to direct the organization are F. B. Kuykendal, president; E. R. Davis, vice-president; F. R. Toms, secretary ; and W. B. White, treasurer. . Mr. Toms and Mr. White were re-elected to the offices they held during the first part of the year. Phi Zeta Nu is the honorary electrical engineering fraternity which recognizes excellent schol arship and other activities among the students of electrical ' engineering. J. E. Lear, professor of elec- ; trical engineering, spoke at the meeting on the general topic of "Illumination." In his talk Mr. Lear ' traced the history of the electric light and then briefly discussed illumination proper, mentioning some of the fine points of the science of proper, illumination. '
