PENN STATE BOXING SATURDAY NIGHT TIN CAN V. BL L ts. CAROLINA BASKETBALL TIN CAN FRIDAY (J ;jj VOLUBIE XXXVIII RATAN DEVI Yfl! PRESENT CONCERT HERE NEXT MONTH Entertainment Committee To Bring Noted Performer Here March 6 in Swain Hall. Ratan Devi will give a cos tume recital of folk songs of the East on March 6 in Swain hall as the next number on the stu dent entertainment program for this quarter. The artist is an American who married an East Indian and thus has lived quite a while in the East. During her stay there she became interested in the life and folk songs of the people ; her knowledge of them has enabled her to sing their songs with an interpretation and sincerity un usual in the West. Her program offers a variety of songs, including some Kash miri folk songs and East In dian Ragas. She has added to her program a few exquisite songs collected in Andulasia and Hungary and in response to numerous requests, old English folk songs. Madame Devi has had en thusiastic press comments wher ever she has appeared. The New York Times said of her recent- appearances in New York: "Ratan Devi's singing of both the classical Indian Ragas, Kashmiri folk-songs was remarkable- especially in the Ragas. Her voice has a beauti ful richness of timbre, and her vocal technique, especially in the management of the long phrases and ornamental figures, of a sort not often met with." Ed ward Moore said of her in the Chicago Tribune: "There were dance songs that had the whole spirit of the dance in them ; there . were love songs that lamented and pleaded, even though in an unknown tongue; there were lul labies that spoke a world-wide lullaby language. And Ratan Devi was both vivid and humor ous in her explanations." Her recitals will be preceded by a short talk on life in India especially in relation to its music. CERCLE FRANCAIS TO MM FRIDAY R.

Aldermen Vote To Amend Bumming Law The much-discussed "bum ming ordinance" which was en acted some time ago and provid ed that persons seeking to "bum" rides must not stand on "traveled portions of the high way," has been amended to pro vide for "additional safety," ac cording to City Manager John Foushee. The legal phrasing of the amendment follows: Be it ordained by the board of alderman, town of Chapel Hill, that the Bumming Ordi nance recorded in Book 4, Page 246, be, and the same is, hereby amended, "That after the word 'street' . -. m section i, tne ionowing snail be added: ' "Section 1(a). That it shall be unlawful for any person to stop any motor vehicle in the streets of Chapel Hill to pick up any pedestrian without first drawing up to the right-hand curb."

Mc for their journeyings have ex- Duffie, Tommy Thomas, Ted pressed a belief that the new.Newland, Watson Stanley, Tom amendment will hamper their travel.

House spoke yesterday in chapel on faculty-student re lations, emphasizing their im portance and need of improve ment. The executive secretary named the lack of contact be tween students and faculty mem bers as one of the problems com ing with the University's ad vance and one that the present college generation must seek to overcome. Professor Horace Williams, who was present in the audience, lent to the discussion an expres sion of the opinion that the pres ent difficulties are due chiefly to the quarter system. Eleven weeks he declared to be too short a time for students and instruc tors to develop a mutual inter est that is essential to worth while associations. Reciting his own experiences gT--awsfuaenrr;ousr said that his most cherished acquain- ances had been with faculty members. He deplored the present-day prejudices they stigma tize as booting any approach toward an instructor and urged that students escape from them. An aggressiveness in seeking the acquaintance of any person on the faculty is a policy which he recommended as perfectly conventional and natural. Constant questioning and resulting-shifting of methods do not indicate weakness or insta bility in the school, the speaker said. The University is and must continue as a place of study and experimentation that alone can lead to improvement.

MED GRADS TO H0LDREUNI0N Raleigh Branch Of Alumni To Continue Annual Custom Feb ruary 22 In Capital City. The alumni of. the Raleigh branch of the University school of medicine will hold a reunion in Raleigh February 22. This reunion has become an annual custom and, due to the success it enjoyed last year, large at tendance is expected. The clinical department, as the school was called, was an ex tension of the University medi cal school. Here students were enabled to complete their last two years of study and obtain their M. D. degree from the Uni versity, only a two-year course being available in Chapel Hill. Although this branch was sadly lacking in equipment, it attained quite a noticeable success. Dur ing the period of its existence, from 1902 to 1910, eighty-four men were graduated with their M. D. degrees. Of this group of alumni there are many who have gained state-wide recognition. Dr. Quinton H. Cook of Rich Square holds the office of presi dent of the association. Under his guidance plans for the com ing reunion have been made largely along the same line as those of last year. This will make the convention quite a social affair in the state capital. At present there are several prominent doctors in Raleigh who were connected with the clinical department of the Uni versity. Dr. Hubert Royster, former dean of the division, Dr. Caveness, Mr. McGee and Dr. Noble are outstanding among them.

DECIDE AT NEXT MEETING Liberal Arts School Faculty Pass Motion By Margin of Two Votes; Second Motion To Re consider Is Also Passed. At the last meeting of the un dergraduate faculty of the school of liberal arts, held last Friday afternoon, it was voted by a majority of two votes to abolish optional attendance for the up perclassmen in the A. B. school. After the motion had passed, a second motion was made to re consider the matter. It will be brought to the attention of the faculty at the next regular fac ulty meeting. . In the opinion of many mem bers of the faculty, the present system of class attendance has brought with it many evils in the form of lowered scholastic standings, careless and irregu lar habits, etc. At the same meeting, the fac ulty passed the following rul ing: "To be eligible for gradu ation a student must secure the grade of "C" or higher on at least half of his courses." As an interpretation of the ruling it was further, stated that: (1) The rule will go into ef- for work passed subsequent to that date. 36 required courses but with grades which do not entitle him to his degree will be allowed to take additional junior - senior courses until such time as he meets the requirement of the rule. (3) - Transfer with advanced standing will come under this rule only for those courses pur sued at this institution.
