; For Season. ' ' '
The entertainment committee
has authorized the secretary of
the committee to correspond
with several of the production
companies in the country in an
attempt to secure definite con
tracts for engagements here this
yean Due to the fact that -the
date of the opening of the new
auditorium had not been finally
set, the committee was unable to
make any definite arrangements
before now.
According to one of the mem
bers of the committee, plans
are being made for an enter
tainment sometime during the
first week of ; February. There
will be two other performances
produced during the winter,
quarter, and two more in the
spring session. "If funds per
mit," stated the committee mem
ber," we will stage three enter
tainments during the last quar
ter of school."
Dr. H. S. Dyer, chairman of
the committee, stated that due
to the present economic condi
tion the committee would be able
to secure some of the finest tal
ent in the country for a . .very
reasonable rate. "I have never
seen such excellent talent avail
able for such prices," continued
Dr. Dyer. v
The committee, however; is
faced with the problem of
whether to cut': down in the
character of the productions or
raise the price in the season
tickets for future, years. . .Be
cause of the cut in the state bud
get this problem must be dealt
with. It has been customary,
heretofore, for the committee to
receive financial aid from the
state, but this help will not be
available this next year. This
question has not yet been decid
ed upon, but will be passed some
time in the future.
The dollar paid for entertain
ment fee this past quarter will
be carried over to the winter
session, and the season's enter
tainment tickets will not be pub
lished until the Winter quarter.

HEARSSUNDERS
Editor of Alumni Review To
Comment on Staff's Work
Tonight.
Continuing its policy of hav
ing specialists in journalism
and English address its weekly
meetings, the Tar Heel staff will
hear J. Maryori Saunders, the
editor of the Alumni Review,
and former editor of the Tar
Heel, comment on the. work of
this organization at; its regular
meeting tonight '-..at 7:15 in room
104 Alumni Building.
At the beginning of the year,
the Tar Heel employs a large
group of prospective reporters
and editors but drops them
from the staff immediately upon
their failure to discharge their
duties. For this reason there is
always room for additional men
of ability. (
Reasons for removal from, the
staff are : failure to turn in news
articles over a period of two
weeks, lack of interest, and ab
sence from weekly meetings.
Bob Madry, director of the
University News Bureau, has

Literary Cooks Meet
Last Friday night, in their
own eight room clubhouse on
West Rosemary Lane, the C.
W, J. Literary Society held its
first winter dance. It is said
to have been a complete suc
cess. . 7 r . .. t' . .
The C . W. J. Literary Soci
ety is a recently organized
group of cooks, waiters and
janitors in Chapel Hill, who,
by reason of -their - long and
constant association with the
professorial and the student
population have established
their own clique of; lovers of
literature. -
- When confronted with the
insinuation that like many an
other clubs in Chapel Hill, the
meetings of the C. W. J. Lit
erary Society sometimes as
sume the scenes of ribaldry,
a responsible member in good
standing, a janitor at Spencer
hall, was quick to deny most
vigorously that such things
went on, and emphasized the
fact that the C. W J. Liter
ary Society is purely "liter
ary." ri'.r

Ways and means by which

Presiding over the session
was Dr. F. P. Gaines, president
of Washington and Lee Univer
sity, who declared that "we are
concerned today not with econo
mics in education but with edu
cation in economics. There is
today a greater threat against
the South' s sustained deveiop-
ment than at any time since the
JNew bouth ceased to be a mere
phrase of hope
"In the midst of,, such condi
tions we need to assure ourselves
again that education is - not a
luxury, to be indulged when
financial superfluity justifies
reckless expenditues, that edu

generous public whims like an

WATER CONDITION
Peculiar Taste Is Net Due to
Any Chemical Appli
cation. Professor H. G. Baity of the
sanitary - and municipal ; engi
neering department gave an ex
planation yesterday of the con
dition of the water at Chapel
Hill and vicinity. A very pe
culiar taste was developed Fri
day afternoon which was similar
to chlorine water. The odor was
similar to that of phenol or io
dorphorm or a medicated odor.
This odor or taste is not due to
any process that is being ap
plied to the water. The Univer
sity consolidated service plants
stated that a test was made of
the water Saturady and that
the water was entirely fit for
domestic use. -
The undesirable taste is due
to the slow rain during the last
two days. The rain falling on
leaves and extracting the chemi
cal properties which were not
extracted during the summer
months due to the very intense
heat and the lack of rain is the
reason for the undesirable taste
and it was stated that this will
wear off in a few days. How
ever, a treatment process is un
der way.-
The University consolidated
service plants alsa stated that
the same condition in the water
was prevalent in the cities in
this section and in many parts
of the state. ,
overgrown charity. Education
is still the basic necessity of the
social order. Education is still
the wisest investment in v any
program of material expansion.
Education is still the supreme
obligation which one generation
owes unto the next."
Nine reasons for the slow de
velopment of the Southern
school systems were assigned
by Dr. Abercrombie. He said
they were: the long delay in be
ginning the tax supported
school ; the financial impoverish
ment and bankruptcy under
which the school systems were
undertaken ; the task of providT
ing two systems; the widely
scattered population; the illit
eracy among both races ; the
necessity of bearing supernor
mal financial burdens with sub
normal wealth ; the withdrawal
of much southern wealth
through the operation of feder
al laws; the results of emanci
pation, and the widespread pre
judice against r free public
schools. . '
He defined the South's educa
tional status as rating the low
est in the per capita expendi
tures for education in the na
tion. "In view of the conditions
mentioned," he said, "it must be
apparent to all except the very
obtuse, the selfishly, influenced
and the wilfully blind that, not
withstanding the advances made,
the South's r. educational needs
still are numerous, great and
Dressiner: that they call for
i prompt and serious considera-
- tion; that the call is loud, clear
and imperative. What are
those needs? All of them may
be .summed up in one phrase,
namely, the equalization, of
educational opportunities."
Professor Reisner declared
that the school and university
were failing to turn out men and

LIBRARY EXHIBITS
REPRODUCTION OF
Petrarch's Copy of Poet's Works
Is Center of Anniversary
. Display.
In honor of the 2000th anni
versary of Vergil's birth, the
University Library is exhibit
ing material, from the Hanes
Foundation for the study of the
origin and development of the
book, relative to the poet's
works. '
':'-A:' group, of facsimiles of im
portant Vergil manuscrips is on
exhibition in the middle exhibit
case in the east end of the main
floor , corridor in the library
building. Exhibits of printed
books and facsimiles of other
editions of Vergil will follow
during the next few weeks.
The most attractive of the
items displayed is a superb fac
simile reproduction of the . Ital
ian poet Petrarch's manuscript
copy of Vergil's works. This
manuscript is in the Ambrosian
Library at Milan.' The facsimile
which . reproduces with great
fidelity the colors and imperfec
tions of the parchment, leaves,
as well as the handsome illum
ination, was published "for the
celebration taking place this
year, under the auspices of the
Pope, who was at one time the
prefect of the Ambrosian Li
brary. The text of the poems is sur
rounded by a commentary on it
by a famous Roman grammar
ian, Servius, who, in his com
mentaries describes : customs
and manners of the Romans.
The Library is fortunate in
having a duplicate copy, of the
froifaspiece to this ; manuscript
which is a small painting by the
Italian muralist, Simone di Mar
tino. It shows Vergil reclining
on a lawn at work. Simone was.
a friend of Petrarch's, meeting!
him at Avignon when Petrarch 1
was living there in 1338.
The commentary of Servius
on Vergil is displayed again in
a facsimile of a" manuscript in
the Vatican Library written in
the 10th century. This is' inter
esting chiefly because the hand
writing in which it is written, is
known as . Beneventan ' sdript
This kind of handwriting - de
veloped in the monastery at
Monte Casino and in the relig
ious houses throughout the

Georgia Tech Contest
31 ANY NOTABLES PRESENT
By BUly McKee
A homecoming crowd of twenty-three
thousand alumni and
many Tech followers saw a
colorful game between Georgia
Tech and Carolina end in a tie
6-6 yesterday afternoon. All .
the scoring was done in the sec
ond : quarter ; although both
teams seriously threatened in
the last half neither was able to
muster enough punch to make
another score. :
, The weather was all that
Carolina followers could hope
for a clear, sunny afternoon, .
but a trifle cold, as the ' many
top coats attested. Several air
planes flew around the field to
add their part to the spectacle.
! The guest box was filled with
many notables. Governor Gard
ner, President Brittain of Geor
gia Tech, President Few of
Duke,' President Sykes of Clem
son, President Lingle of David
son, "Chic" Roberts,' chairman
of the Georgia Tech board of
trustees, and John Motley-More-head,
minister; to Sweden, were .
among the guests of President
Frank Graham. Bobby Jones,
champion ; golfer, did not show
lip as was once announced. , .
Five different bands and bugle
corps were present, adding ' to
the enjoyment of the crowds
and giving a great deal of color
to the game with their distinc
tive uniforms.- First there ap
peared the blue and grey band
of the Charlotte high school. It
was followed by the Salisbury
Memorial Flag .Escort, a drum
and bugle corps of . forty-three
men; which has been organized
in honor of the men from Rowan
county who died in the World
War. They were' dressed in
blue jackets and red , knickers
and carried a whole series--of
emblems, including the post col
ors, twelve American flags and
eight of the major allied nation
al flags, : The next band; on the
field. Was the- huge 112-piece
Georgia Tech outfit .in their
white uniforms : with yellow
stripes, which played their selec
tions with lots of pep and life.
The Raleigh American Legion
drum and ', bugle- corps also
marched across the field in their
lavendar coats with white cross
bands. Last of ail came our own ,.
Blue ' and White . organization .
with , its high-stepping drum r
major. The .two college bands,
performed during the . half as i
well as before the game, forming
T's amf N.'Cs and playing the
different school songs. ';.
, .The sound of the "Song of the
Cheerios" played by the Caro
lina band during the- last half
of the game.; was "welcome to
those students and alumni who :
were here several years ago
when that song was played and
sung at every football game. It
seems that Carolina is about to
revive that custom now.
Billy Arthur; Carolina midget,
had a special stand erected be- -low
" the : Carolina- sections so'he-
could better be able to direct his
cheering section. Billy made a:'
very unusual entrance on the
field riding a horse, from which
he 'climbed down on a rope lad

mediocre, being very poor at
some times while at others it
was good. -Several
