DEBATING TEAM GOES TO BOSTON Under the direction of Wil- our uaniel Steele " and Faul Green, a group of University faculty members and townspeo ple will give a benefit perform ance of Bertha M. Clay's cele brated melodrama of the 1880's, "Thorns and Orange Blossoms,'' in the Playmaker theatre tonight and tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. Howard Mumford Jones, whose portrayal of Joe Morgan, the drunkard, in "Ten Nights in a Bar-Room," stands as one of the greatest triumphs in the history of the drama in Chapel Hill, will have the role of the villainous Carstone. The troupe organized by Green and Steele is called "The Imperial Stock Company." Music and novelties ranging from "Over the Waves Waltz" and "Home Sweet Home" down to "Four Little Blackberries" and "Don't Swat Yer Mother, It's .Mean" will be given be tween acts and will add much to the sentimentality. . The production of this play in Chapel Hill is similar to what is being done by Christopher Morley in Hoboken, N. J., where he has been presenting "The Black Crook," and other plays, and also to what is being done in London. "Thorns and Orange Blossoms" is a very sophisticat ed melodrama of the English nobility of the 1880's, and was very popular at that time. Those in the cast include How ard . Mumford J ones, Harry K. Russell, W. D. MacMillan, Cor nelia Love R. B. House, Fran ces Stratton, Russell Potter, George McKie, W. A. Olsen and Jesse McCoy, The University debating team leaves today for Boston for the contest with Boston University on Sunday. Those who will rep Sunday. Representing Carolina are J. M. Baley, G. P.

This will be a return debate with the Boston University team they having been entertained here on April 19. At that time our debaters supported the af firmative side of the disarma ment question and won. It was a very hotly contested de bate and the first that the Bos ton forensic artists lost this year.

The speaker for the annual tapping ceremonies of the Order of the Golden Fleece will be Dr. Harry Woodburn Chase, presi dent of the University, accord ing to an announcement by Fleece officials. The tapping is set for Tues day, May 6th, and will take place in the' Methodist church, which it is hoped will be large enough to accommodate the crowds which annually turn out for the affair. - President Chase's Fleece ad dress will be one of his last ap pearances as head of the Univer sity. This fact, added to the interest of the campus in the se lection of men for membership in the Order, and the picturesque character of the ceremony, will make the tapping this year one of the most interesting in the history of the Fleece. The speaker last, year was Governor O. Max Gardner. At the conclusion of his address, Governor Gardner was tapped for membership in the Order. President Chase is himself an honorary member of the Golden Fleece. Following a period of intense interest and speculation last year ten men were picked. These men were tapped in Memorial hall by gowned and hooded fig ures who stalked up and down the aisles, suddenly pouncing one by one upon the men selected.
