The program is selected from the works of comtemporary Ameri- ! can enmnn;vr! Tf nlan attitude toward absences from numbers from'th Tlnh w classes. In a letter to the Daily Tar Heel G. 0. Ferguson of the ex ecutive office refers to, "The Dean's list Any student who passed, in the preceding term, on all courses taken, aggregating not less than fifteen term hours, with an average grade on all courses of at least 85 percent, will be placed on the Dean's list. ; "A student on the Dean's List is not subject to the regulations limiting absence from classes, nor does absence from any class entail on such student - any penalty, affecting class standing, imposed for absence alone. "About one-fifth of our stu dents are usually on the Dean's List." We believe that the list is a stimulus to better work. "We also have a regulation which, provides that a student who receives 'Intermediate Honors' as a result6f his first two years of work is not requir ed to attend classes so long as he does not fail on a class. To receive 'Intermediate Honors (Continued on next page) University Women Hear Address On "Negro Folklore 99 The Chapel Hill branch of the American Association of Uni versity Women met at the Par ish house of the Episcopal church, Tuesday night at eight o'clock. During the short business ses sion preceding the program, Mrs. E. R. Mosher, legislative chairman, outlined briefly the legislative program which is be ing sponsored by various North Carolina groups, the various measures of which are to come before the present legislature. Miss Nora Beust introduced the speaker, Dr. Guy B. Johnson, of the University Institute for Research in Social Science, whose subject was "Negro Folk lore." He pointed out that the negro in the United States is rich in folklore. In the sea is lands of South Carolina and Georgia can be found the best. He brought out the fact that a great many folk tales are told here as in Africa. With some of the animal characters chang ed to suit the American animals. Another phase of Dr. John son's talk, was an explanation of the difference between folk stories of Jamaica and the United States. It was found that the "spider" is the leading character in Jamaica and the "rabbit" in this country. "Ne- louaore in tne south is a raixture of African, Asiatic, and European stories." "Consider ably more than one half the southern negroes are of African descent," says Dr. Johnson. Concluding his address Dr. Johnson read several selections from his book: Folk Culture On St Helena Island. French schools of composition. Between 450 and 500 people at tended the first vesper concert played by Professor Kennedy, November 23. On the following Sunday, January 25, a concert will be presented by Professor T.

Afterglow Groton DI DEFEATS WO OF THREE BILLS Professor McKie Is Visitor and Unofficial Critic of Meeting. The Di senate at its meeting on Tuesday night considered three resolutions. The first reso lution was submitted by Senator Mclver, as follows: Resolved: That the Di Senate go on Record as Favoring the Privilege of Smoking on' Classes. This reso lution received little support and was defeated in short order. Senator Mclver introduced another bill which read : Resolv ed, That the University of North Carolina, N. C. C. W., and State College be Combined at a Cen- Branson, who has since remain ed its guiding spirit. This or ganization is composed of uni versity students of all classes and schools and faculty members who'meet fortnightly through out the college year to study the state's civic, economic, and social problems ; the number in the club averages about fifty per year. The subjects are practically always research enterprises, and the results are entitled to college degree credit whenever they ap proach the high level of research standards in the university. Below is quoted a paragraph from the club's year book. "It has been hunting down the prob lems and puzzles of life and live lihood in the mother state. It has been busy defining "conditions, causes, and consequences, and equally busy considering reme dial constructive measures. It has been trying to realize in vivid way the forces, influences, tendencies, drifts and move ments, the ideals, institutions, agencies, men and measures that made North Carolina what she ' was day before yesterday. It has been taking stock of what North Carolina is today and what she can be tomorrow." The outstanding purpose of the club is to interest university students in the problems of the home state, to arouse them and prepare them for active partici- pancy in community, courty and state affairs, and to put them in way of growing into ef fective leadership in the life be yond the campus walls. The North Carolina Club has been very influential in raising public sentiment for the passing of reforms and other bills en acted for the welfare of the peo ple. An example of this is the passing of the county reform bills by the state legislature in Gardner A A ment and County Affairs in North Carolina." The thought I which this created throughout the state developed nine years later into the above-mentioned bills. . The program for this year is an agricultural one. The papers on which the various speakers of the club will talk will be as sembled and published in a vol ume at the end of the year, the joint product of all agencies in the state interested in the im provement of our agricultural conditions. Below are the yearbooks, which have been published by the North Carolina Club since its founding: 1915- 1916 The Resources, Advantages, and Opportunities of North Carolina. 1916- 1917 Wealth and Wel fare in North Carolina 1917-1918 County Govern ment and County Affairs in North Carolina. 1919-1920 State Reconstruc tion Studies. 1920- 1921 North Carolina, Urban and Industrial. 1921- 1922 Home and Farm Ownership. yzz-yz3 vvnat rext m North Carolina? 1923- 1924 What Next In North Carolina? 1924- 1925 What Next In North Carolina? 1925- 1926 Town and County Interdependencies. 1926- 1927 Some Problems in Democracy in North Carolina. 1927- 1928 Studies in Taxa tion in North Carolina. 1928-1929 County Life in North Carolina. 1929- 1930 Contemporory In dustrial Processes.

The snow which be gan at about ten o'clock yester- ground twelve days and was noted here after the vacation. The second of the group of snows came early in January feated by a large majority after ! being opposed by a number of senators. A third bill was passed in which the senate favored co operating with the Debate Coun cil in broadcasting information regarding the University. Sena tors Mclver, Dungan, Whitaker, Medford, and Ramsay spoke on the resolutions. A resolution was passed plac ing a fine of fifty cents on all senators entering the hall with out a coat or sweater. Professor George McKie of the English department, who is a former member of the Di, was a visitor and unofficial critic at the meeting.

Some par ticles of this snow still remained here-abouts after being on the . The Phi assembly met on Tuesday night, and due to a great amount of new business, failed to consider any of the bills on the calendar. The new busi ness consisted of the passage of two new resolutions and an amendment to the constitution. The two resolutions were: 1. Resolved: That the Phi As- j sembly go on record as opposing any impending bill before the Legislature providing for the abolition of service rooms and barber shops operated by stu dents at the University. 2. Resolved: That, the Phi As sembly go on record as opposing the proposed 10 per cent, cut in the salaries of the officers and teachers employed by the state. The first resolution was intro duced by representative Lanier and was passed by a unanimous vote. Representative Speight proposed the second bill, which was passed by a large majority.

This last white cover seems to hold forth the promise of be ing as heavy as the first one. The sky was laden all yesterday afternoon and the flakes contin ued coming down with no appar ent abatement. It is seldom that any of the southern states are troubled with any snow whatso ever until early in February and it sometimes comes as late as iviarcn. Sparrow Tells of Loan Association At the meeting of the Chapel Hill Kiwanis Club Tuesday eve ning, W. O. Sparrow gave a talk on the Orange County Building and Loan Association. The club also heard B.

Officers Chosen for University Orchestra Tuesday night, the student of ficers of the university orches tra were elected. Frank Jav- cocks was elected president, Ar lindo Gate, vice-president, and James Phofl, secretary. The or chestra is composed of fifty pieces, and deserves to be called a symphonic orchestra because of the instrumentation. The duty of the student officers is to administrate the student per sonnel of the orchestra. The or chestra membership is composed of students, faculty members and their wives. Orchestra prac tices are on Tuesdays from seven p. m. to nine p. m. The orchestra does not pre sent many public programs,' be cause it is essentially an organi zation for the study of symphon ic literature. However, several formal programs will be pre sented during this year. Various groups from the orchestra will act as accompanying organiza tions for certain soloists. the University. President Gra ham, who was scheduled to de liver the speech of welcome was unable to attend the meeting due to the inclement weather and to his recent illness. President J. W. Noell, as first speaker on the program, told of his conversion from a former at titude of opposition to large ap propriations for the University, to his present one of support for the spending of every cent which the treasury of the state can af ford in an effort to utilize to the fullest extent the educational advantages gained by the stu dents. He was of the opinion that the state today faces a similar, though not as great, crisis as it did at the end of the Civil War. Much credit should be given the Governor for his attempts at remedying the situation with his live-at-home program. Not only farm ers and merchants, but also newspaper men, should feel obli gated to support the plan in their buying of paper. It should be urged upon the people that taxes are not too high in con- sideration of the benefits accom plished. In a preliminary exposition of his views as to proposed expen ditures, an item of vital impor- ( Continued on next page) Professors Publish Elementary Text for High School Pupils In their recently published text, Sept Contes de la VieUle France, Professors Hugo Giduz and Urban T. Holmes have made seven of the twelve Lays of Marie de France readily avail able to students of elementary high school French. Holmes is a member of the Romance languages department, and Giduz is on the staff of the teachers training school. Marie de France, whose works are the first of French writings by women, lived in the thir teenth century. She tired of the then popular custom of trans lating from the Latin and, as a result, decided to set down in French the stories of the travel ing minstrels. The Lays are the sum of her efforts. " . The editors of Sept Contes de la VieUle France have retold the stories in modern, simple French using only the present tense throughout. There are brief footnotes and, at the end of each story, questions and exercises. Although the vocabulary is comprehensive, the editors have used cognates wherever possible in the text in an attempt to avoid mere mechanical transla tion with the accompanying thumbing of the vocabulary. 0
