The University orchestra will present a varied program at 4 o'clock tomorrow " afternoon in the Methodist church " auditofi um. The concert, which will be free of charge, will consist of the following numbers : Slavonic Dance by Dvorak, Haydn's Surprise ? Symphony;, Ballet Music from llie Bartered Brie by Smetana, Funeral March of a Marionette by Gounod, and March of the Boyards by Hal borsen. " 1 V Dvorak, a Bohemian, was one of the few modern composers who used folk tunes as his the mes, and his Slavonic Dance is based upon such folk music. The G Major Symphony by Haydn, well known as his "Sur prise" Symphony is one of the most well known works among symphonic literature. While a very simple orchestral number, it is a good example of the com pletely pure form of his classic school. Built around a simple naive theme, a feature for vvhich Haydn is famous, the symphony is equally interesting to laymen and musicians. It is quite standard in structure consisting of a movement in Sonate form, a slow movement with varia tions, a minuet, and a rondo. During the afternoon a silver offering will be taken, to meet certain incidental expenses of the' orchestra which are vital, to its existance and cannot be ob tained , in other ways. , Carolina Glee Club In Contest Tonight The University glee club to night will participate in the national intercollegiate glee club contest at 8 o'clock in Carnegie Hall, New York City.

Picker nell, president of the national glee club council. The group plans to leave New York tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock. CHAPEL HILL, N.

(By Milton Greenblatt) : jMme. Ratan .Devi, who ap peared before a large audience in Swain hall Thursday evening, has the rare talent of under standing both the oriental and ocpidental music. Thus she is able to explain the exotic" field of Hindu folk music to audiences thoroughly unacquainted with it, and by her skillful perform ance, to make it enjoyable and somewhat intelligible. She has a rich, well-controlled contralto voice though a little! rough in its lower ranges. Her singing is restrained, careful and thoroughly artistic. Although its structure is much different from that of western music, the Hindu folk song does not sound vastly different nor very strange. It is only neces sary to listen to it carefully, and the ear becomes as accustomed to it as it does to our own music. The Hindu music stresses melod ic quality, utterly ignoring har monic bases. The songs Mme. Ratan Devi sang are based on a scale having 22 divisions, as compared with our own of 12. This minute interval division gives the music an extreme deli cacy, and often a plaintive, strange sound. : It was hardly possible to hear the artist's explanatory remarks to the music. The audience was noisy, restless and somewhat in different. But what could be heard was splendid, and ex tremely interesting. SWARTZ WILIi ADDRESS STUDENT- BIBLE CLASS Dr. J. H. Swartz,. professor of Geology, will speak to the Stu dents' Bible Class of the Meth odist Church Sunday, March 10 at 9:45 A. M. The subject of Dr. Swartz's talk will be "Im mortality and the Possibility of Communing with God through Prayer." 'Tombstone" Postponed The "Tombstone" golf tourna ment, which was to have begun yesterday afternoon at the coun try club course, has been post poned, according to R. B. Law son, chairman of the golf com mittee, and will be played on Friday and Saturday of next week. v::v.-:-x- ill ::: mmm MUSIC DEPARTMENT TO GIVE RECITALS s The department rof music will conclude its year's work next quarter with a series of recitals in which the department organ izations, students and faculty will take part. Students in the department will be required to attend all the programs, wliich are planned not as ordinary concerts, but as a definite part of their routine, giving them experience both in participation and in listening. Recitals will be general, with students of piano, voice and vari ous instruments, appearing on the same program! However, divisions will be made between elementary, intermediate, and advanced pupils, in that each grouping will comprise a sepa rate recital. The distinctions will be made regardless of the pupil's age, but rather with re spect to the length of time he has studied and his general proficiency. In addition, the " department will sponsor ' a program in the Chapel of the Cross at which an advanced organist w,ill appear, and a general faculty recital some time in May. The regular spring concert of the University glee club and perhaps -a concert by the orchestra in Kenan sta dium will be included in the series. Two of the student recitals are planned for April and two for May. The elementary - pro grams will be for the most part in the afternoon, while the ad vanced students will perform in the evening. Fund Up To $264.70 The Campus Relief Fund : for the Poor of Orange County was increased yesterday to a total of $264.70. The latest contribu tions came from W. P. Fuller, Snydor Cozart, Sam Silver- stein, and from two anonymous benefactors. Ninety dollars of the amount has been realized from the bene fit picture which was shown at the Carolina theatre last Sun day afternoon. The rest has been donated bv students and . V townspeople. The Tar Heel will continue to conduct the fund through the three remaining is sues of the quarter. Donations may be. made to Dr. T. M. Brooks, Box 747, or to any member of the Relief Committee. -' ,;'::v;::i',:o::o::::-::J' TKreeIMiidfed Stars-Here For- Southern Iiidoor Track Games Ticket Notice Tickets for the Southern Conference track meet will be issued and punched at the af ternoon series of events and will be; good for the events beginning at 7:00 o'clock. There will be no reduction in the price of tickets which are used for the night events on- ly. The charge is made neces sary because of the fact that the meet' is not a regular Uni versity event and there is no special appropriation to cov er the expenses of installing the extra equipment and con veniences of the meet. FACULTY MAMS CLASS ATTENDING HONORS MATTER ; ""."..-- " - - . . . i - ' Optional Attendance Goes By Board Except For Junior And , Senior Honor Roll Men. At the meeting of the under graduate faculty yesterday af ternoon, the following - motion was passed, to become effective next quarter : Resolved : ' ( I ) That optional attendance r for all juniors and seniors be abolished. (2) That, juniors and , seniors holding positions on. the honor roll - in the" preceding - quarter will have the privilege of volun tary r attendance in all courses. Whereas heretofore all upper classmen in the schools of liberal arts, education, and commerce have held the privilege of ab senting themselves from class meetings on all junior and senior courses, now only the select few whose names appear on the hon or list for the preceding quarter may do so, but the privilege will extend to freshman and sopho more courses. The lowered scholastic standing of a certain percentage of the student body, added to the conditions prevail ing generally before and after holidays and on week-ends,, is considered responsible for the somewhat reactionary procedure of the faculty jnembers. About three years ago, due largely to the efforts of Dean Addison Hib bard, -the system of voluntary attendance was instituted as more or less of an experiment, with - the understanding that at any time the faculty was at lib erty to revoke their decision. - A second' motion passed at the' meeting" reads "as: follows: Resolved : That within a period of ten-calendar 'days, at the be ginning of a quarter, all regis tration must1 be concluded; ; and that all changes of schedule tf courses must be made in the same length of time. This pro-j visions' extends - somewhat the time limit for registration and changing of schedules. Betas To See Show Beta Theta -Pi fraternity will be entertained -by the manage ment of the Carolina theatre at the 7 o'clock show tonight, ac cording to an announcement by Manager E. C. Smith. y The Betas are asked by Mr. Smith to be at .the theatre promptly,, with their president. Other- fraternity and dormitory groups - will be guests of the management of the theatre from time to time throughout the school year. NUMBER 124 Ten Colleges And Universities To Be Represented In Tin Can; Preliminaries At 4:00 O'clock. The first Southern Conference Indoor Track Meet 'and games, the greatest ever to be held in the Southland, will get under way this afternoon beginning at 4 o'clock in the Tin Can. Pre liminaries will be staged at 4, while the meet proper will begin at 7 o'clock. Libre than three hundred of the South's best track and field stars have entered . the "meet. Such names as Flippin, Hamm, de Coligny, Day, Quinn, Farmer, Sandiver, Simon and a host of others are enrolled and give promise of the greatest athletic contest yet put on in the, South this winter. Men are here from ten colleges and universities in the South v stretching, over so wide an area as Louisiana to Maryland. Officials for. the meet have been chosen from the best that the organizers could find. Heady ing the list will be J. J. Stegev man, J. V. JMulligan, Frank A. Knopf and W. A. Alexander. The Tin Can presents this morn ing the best indoor track and. field combination which has ever been put together this fat south. Workmen for several daysjiave been busy remodeling the structure into a vast arena in expectation of the large audi ence anticipated. ? - Among the institutions havr ing the largest representations -here for the meet are Georgia Tech, Washington and Lee, Duke and Carolina. On the1 strength of reserve material these schools should have a slight edge on the others entered for the champion ship. Ed Hamm, Olympic star and holder of the . world's record broad jump, is a pre-meet favor ite in the 60-yard dash. Quinn, who came in among the first in $ the recent Meadowbrook games, and Farmer of Carolina are also classy looking competitors. The Carolina officials have been busy preparing a long 5traigntaway which is as long as any in the South and slightly longer than that used in Madison Square Garden. . The 60-yard high and low hurdles will occupy the attention of Harry Flippin, Virginia's stellar - runner, who has been bothering, world's records for the past two seasons. Dq Colig ny, who starred on the line of? Tulane's Green Wave last fall, Maddox of Georgia, Freeman of ' Duke,'Speer and Finklestein of Washington and Lee, Harvey of -Georgia Tech; Kennedy and ' Boineau of South Carolina, and ? Perry .of Carolina will push, -Flippin all the way. .The hard . 440 has attracted what may prove to be the fast est competition - of , the meet. Remsburg coming" from Mary- . land has already this year placed second in the meet held at Virginia. Sheppard and Dickey, are stars of the first rank and are entered from Washington and Lee; Ottinger and Floyd, La Forge of Georgia. Tech, Cooke of Duke, and Dave Nims of Carolina present an unsually strong field. In the half-mile, McGinn of State, on the basis of his plac ing second in the -conference last spring, seems to be the best early bet, but will have to meet - Continued on last page) n
