TMTOEVENTH
Presentations Last Three Days
Of the Week; Inaugurates
Thirteenth Year.
Tonight, Friday, and Satur
day, The Carolina Playmakers
will present their twenty-seventh
bill of original plays in the Play
makers Theatre. The Carolina
Playmakers begin the thirteenth
year of their existance with this
production. And so far prosper
ity and success have chimed in
with their activities. They have
had difficulties as any organiza
tion will, but each time they
have successfully hurdled their
troubles and gained in the longi
run. The recent exodus of Mr.
Hef f ner at first caused some
anxiety over affairs which were
quickly dispersed when it was
learned that Ralph Westerman
had accepted the managerial re
sponsibility vacated by. him.
Added to this piece of good luck
came the welcome news that
Samuel Selden had .returned to
the Playmakers after a year's
sojourn in New York, and was
to assume the position of As
sociate Director. This is the way
the thirteenth year began and
from the evidence it seems that
luck was with them rather than
"again 'em." Of course no one
is going to run over thin ice be
cause he has a rabbit's foot
around his neck, and maybe
' there is a little bit of super
stition behind the fact that they
have painted the theatre instead
of going on tour.
The bill consists of three
plays. "Samuel Hinkle, Fire
man," is a comedy of New Eng
land village folk by Joseph P.
Fox, of Massachusetts. "The
sturdy pride of the women of the
Grange and the town fathers is
amusingly set forth in the inci
dent of their sending their local
fireman, Samuel Hinkle, to the
general convention of all the fire
chiefs of Massachusetts held an
nually in Boston." Professor
Frederick Koch.
"Cloey," is a romantic Caro
lina folk play by Loretto Car
roll Bailey, author of "Job's
Kinfolks," and a native of Winston-Salem.

HOWE SPEAKS TO
COMMUNITY CLUB
ON POET VIRGIL
Dr. George Howe of the Uni
versity faculty talked on Vir
gil at the meeting of the litera
ture department of the Commu
nity Club in the first floor social
room of the Methodist church on
Tuesday evening. Mrs. P. C. Far
rar, chairman of the depart
ment, presided over the meeting.
Dr. Howe spoke of the period
in which Virgil lived as a mo
mentous one in the history of the
world. He then sketched the
life of the Latin poet and dis
cussed his works, the Eclogues,
the Georgics. and the Aeneid.
Dr. Howe thought that it was
the humanity of Virgil that
made his works live in litera
ture for two thousand years and
that Virgil was the first in liter
ature to write of common man
and the ordinary things of na
ture. Because of this he was
the first great romanticist.
The department will meet
again in the social room of the
Methodist church on Tuesday
November 18 at 8 o'clock. Miss
Nora Beust will talk on "Books
for Children" and will have
books on exhibit. '

BUCCANEER BILL
DEFEATED BY DI
Argument Heated, But Resolu
tion Condemning Sports Writ
ers Also Fails to Pass.
At the regular meeting of the
Dialectic senate Tuesday night
a bill to abolish the Carolina
Buccaneer was defeated 28-22,
and a bill to condemn sports
writers for exaggerating the
value of football stars was de
feated 48-2.
The first bill, Resolved: That
the Carolina Buccaneer should
be abolished, was upheld by sena
tors Dungan and Rector, and at
tacked by Mclver and Brown.
Discussion of this bill was in
tense and was ended only by a
call for a "show-down" from the
floor.
The second bill, Resolved :
That the sports writers of North
Carolina are largely responsible
for the inferior condition of the
Carolina football team, and that
they are, therefore, deserving of
condemnation, was debated by
Senators Williams and Fleming-
Jones for, and Newland, Ram
say, Mclver, and Deitz against.
Debate on this question threaten
ed at times to become personal
but when the vote was taken the
bill was decisively . defeated.
Several senators failed to vote
because the bill contained the
words "inferior condition." They
registered as not voting.
The early part of the meeting
was occupied with the election
of Senator Charles Rose as
seargent-at-arms. Nine men
were proposed for membership,
George Cocke, C. F. Crum, J. H.

New Plan Is Inaugurated For
Awarding Rhodes Scholarships
Since the state committee will
meet December 6 to select the
state candidates for Rhodes
Scholarships, it might be well to
explain the new plan of selection
and distribution going into ef
fect this year.
Formerly, two scholars in
three years were selected from
each state. Four years ago, how
ever, President Aydelotte of
Swarthmore College began agita
tion for a new plan. He worked
on the theory that there were
not enough candidates in some
states to create adequate compe
tition. According to the new
plan, each state enters candi
dates each year. The country is
divided into eight districts of
six states each. This state is in
a group with Virginia, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and
Tennessee.
Aydelotte discussed the ar
rangement with old . Rhodes
scholars, with the Association of
American Universities, with
the Association of Urban Uni
versities, and with the National
Association of tate Universi
ties. The National Association of
State Universities was divided
in its opinion the other three
groups favored the plan. The
trustees of the fund agreed to the
proposal for re-arrangement.
Philip Kerr, Marquess of Loth
ian, in an article in the Christian
Science Monitor, explained that
the Aydelotte plan seemed the
means of - raising1 the- qualifica
tions in the United States. The
Marquess in his capacity of sec

Annual Pharmacy
And Prizes
Annually eight awards are;
given to the students in the
pharmacy school who do the best
work during the previous year.
These awards are given in an
attempt to encourage good work
among the students as well as
to benefit those who are some
times unable to meet their ex
penses. .'
The Bradham prize, offered by
C. D. Bradham, of New Bern,
is given to the student making
the highest general average dur
ing the three years' study lead
ing to the degree of Ph.G. The

are given by It. S. Richardson,
Debaters Will Try
For Places on Team
The regular meeting of the
debate squad in Murphey 201 to
night at 7 :30, will be devoted to
try-outs for the contest with
State College on November 20
and December 9. This will be a
dual debate with both schools
upholding each side of the
question.
Since the debate team from
the University of Cambridge has
found it necessary to curtail
its schedule' it is possible that
they will find it impossible to
engage the University. For this
reason, competition for places
on the team which will compete
against State is expected to be
very heavy and keen.
spent nearly five months in the
United States in 1928 investi
gating conditions that might
make amendment advisable.
In May 1929 Parliment
authorized an amendment to Ce
cil Rhodes' will that would in a
manner break the will. In July
at the celebration of the twenty
fifth anniversary of the estab
lishment of the fund, over ninety
former American scholars dis
cussed the amendment.
According to the amended will,
the two best candidates in each
state will appear before their
district committee, which each
state will select the four best of
the twelve. The resulting four
will represent the district at
Oxford University. It is possible
for one college or university to
furnish all four men. According
to the amendment, a student may
spend his third year at Oxford,
or at another British University,
some years after his two at Ox
ford. With special arrangements,
he may spend the third year in
any country other than his own.
A number of the provisions
remain the same. The yearly
stipend of four hundred pounds
has not been changed. The gen
eral individual qualifications
have not been changed. A pros
pective Rhodes man, represent
ing the United States, musts be
a citizen of the United States
with a five-year domicile, must
be unmarried, must have finish
ed his sophomore year in an ac
credited college or university,
and must have , passed his nine
teenth but not his twenty-fifth
birthday by October. 1 of the year
for which he is selected.

POLITICS DEBATED
BY PfflASSEMBLY
Tuesday Night Meeting Given
Over to Praise of National
Democratic Party.
The discussion at the meeting
of the Phi Assembly Tuesday
evening took the form, for the
most part, of praise for the na
tional Democratic party. The
bill tabled from the last meet
ing, Resolved : That the present
business depression in the Unit
ed States is a result of the high
tariff gaye rise to an analysis
of the primary doctrines of the
two major parties in the United
States. Many of the representa
tives denounced the high tariff
as suicidal and unnecessary, but
the Assembly was unwilling to
go on record as holding it to be
the direct and only cause of the
economic depression.
.. The only other bill discussed
during; the session, Resolved:
That in .voting the party should
be considered rather- than the
man, became a discussion - of
party principles. Representative
Uzzell; opposed- the voter whjo
would be an "independent," and
(lauded- the party system. The
bill was passed by a majority of
one 24-23.
Representative Uzzell, com
mitteeman appointed to confer
with! the Di Senate representa

Benefit Performance To Ecs
Given in Music Auditorium
December 15.
Dr. Harold A. Dyer of the mu
sic department announces that
the second performance of the
"Messiah" will be given in the
music auditorium on December
15. There will be a performance
by the Chapel Hill community
chorus, a quartet of profession
al soloists, and the university
symphony orchestra. Professor
Nelson O. Kennedy will be at the
organ, Mrs. A. S. Wheeler at
the piano, and Dr. Dyer will di
rect. When given last year on De
cember 16, 1200 persons crowd
ed the Methodist church, the
largest assemblage that has
ever gathered there. The execu
tive committee of the commun
ity chorus, composed of George
Lawrence, president; A. J. Mc
Hale, vice-president; Mrs. A. S.
Wheeler, accompanist ; Mrs. T.
S. McCorkle, and Billy Hunt,
voted to put on the perform
ance this year in the interest of
the poor of Orange County.
A small admission fee will
charged, with the understanding
that all who attend will be con
tributing directly to the charity
fund of the county. The ticket
sale will open December 1. The
quartet of soloists will be an
nounced at an early date.
The need for charity assist
ance is greater this year than
last year due to the lack of em
ployment. The chorus, number
ing 125, voted unanimously to
utilize this .opportunity to assist
the cause. None of the officers,
nor anyone connected in any way
with the chorus, receives any pay
at all. The chorus has been prac
ticing for the last three weeks
in the music hall. This organiza
tion has retained the best of the
vocal talent in the faculty and
among the townspeople.
LEGION BENEFIT
SHOWS WILL AID
LOCAL CHARITY
The Chapel Hill Post .No. 6 of
the American Legion is sponsor
ing a movie to be given at the
Carolina theatre Sunday after
noon at three o'clock, and again
Sunday evening at nine o'clock.
Mr; E. C. Smith, manager of the
Carolina theatre, has chosen a
Ruth Chatterton picture as the
offering. The evening perform
ance has been set at nine o'clock
so that the showing of the pic
ture will not conflict with church
services. As it is against the
state law to charge admission on
Sunday, a silver offering will be
taken at the door.
The proceeds from the show
will go to charity. As winter
approaches, need for" charity be
comes greater and greater, and
the American Legion hopes to
acquire enough money to help
needy persons in the township
and county.
This movie on Sunday offers
a splendid opportunity to the
students of the University and
the people of Chapel Hill to do
nate money to a worthy cause;
the" people who attend the show
will, derive enjoyment from "two
sources, first, they will enjoy a
fine picture and secondly they
will have the pleasure of giving.
It is , strongly urged that all for
whom it is possible attend this
show on Sunday.
