The Red Cross is feeding 750,000 persons in the drought area. Contributions for relief have been made in food and service as well as in money. From granaries and storage houses in Nebraska, Iowa, Colo rado, Idaho, and the Rio Grande Valley, Texas, thirty car loads of flour, corn, potatoes, and other vegetables have been, shipped to the drought stricken area. The railroads cancelled all freight charges on them. Home demonstration agents are helping Ozark farmers to conserve what food they have by butchering the cattle and can ning the meat. Since the ani mals are too poor to sell," and there is no food for them or their owners, the farmers are learn ing to can meat.

Dean of College of Liberal Arts Stresses Importance of Study. Freshmen were warned in chapel, yesterday by Dean A. W. Hobbs, of the liberal arts school, that everyone on probation must check two courses at mid-term and must attend all classes un less excused. Also, in order to be eligible to participate in ath letic events a student must pass on to a higher class; that is, he must, pass at least two courses in two consecutive quarters. He also " warned the freshmen that all required freshman subjects, such as history, mathematics, English, and foreign languages, must be passed before the jun-j ior year.. In order to graduate half of the courses should be passed .with a C or better. The same regulations are in force as were during the fall quarter. Dean Hobbs urged the stu dents not to go through college with a half-hearted and lacka daisical attitude but to exert their intellects in an effort to grasp the real meaning of life. "The trouble is' said Hobbs, that we have too many college men and not enough educated men." He showed that an edu cated man has not merely taken enough courses to get a diploma but has probed beneath the sur face of things. He advised freshmen to forego so many week-end trips and to substitute some conscientious application to the problems of college life. Quoting President Lowell of Harvard University, . Dean Hobbs said, "You do not acquire an education unless you educate yourself. The rate of faculty to students should not be one to ten but one to one; that is, a man is responsible only to him self." In closing, Dean Hobbs added that; if students realized that college is actually real life, in stead of preparation for it, they would realize its seriousness and get more benefit from it. Dialectic Senate Defeats Two Bills After a heated discussion in the regular weekly meeting of the Di senate two bills were de feated by the members of the society. The first question, deal ing with the plan of letting the government take over the basic industries in this country such as steel and iron manufactures, coal mining, textile and tobacco . manufactures ' as a means of helping the present unemploy - ment situation, ; was killed by only one vote. Fourteen senators were opposed to the plan while thirteen favored the idea. Senator j Gentry was the only one to uphold the bill while senators Olive, Whitaker, and Dungan opposed the question. -The next question, concerning the sending of a unit of the Na tional guard to protect the striker's j obs at the Danville mills was overwhelmingly de feated by a vote of twenty four to three. Senator Gentry was again the only one to favor the v"h wime many oi ma fellow senators opposed him. The next bill on the calendar was tabled until the next meet ing because of lack of time. This bill dealt with the plan of giv ing the students more manage ment of student affairs on the campus and more control of extra-curricular activities. BBS SILENCE PERIOD ,m END TODAY Rushees to Receive Fraternity Pledge Pins at Six O'clock This Afternoon. All rushees are requested to go to the fraternity of their choice at any time after six o'clock this afternoon and re ceive their pledge buttons, stated Jack Ward yesterday. An ar ticle in yesterday's Tar Heel made the announcement that the pledging was to take place yes terday afternoon. This mistake was due to some misunderstand ing on the part of the mem bers of the executive commit tee of the inter-fraternity coun cil. All of the bids were supposed to have been turned in to Joihn Cooper, secretary-treasurer of the council, at the Sigma Nu house before three o'clock yes terday afternoon. All bids com ing in after that time were not accepted. - ;'. - Rushing for this quarter be gan two weeks ago, January 14, and ended yesterday at noon.

Dean A. W. Hobbs, of the school of , liberal arts, has re turned from , a meeting of the American Association of Col leges at Indianapolis, Indiana. Presidents "from Universities, and deans " from schools of lib eral . arts, of the entire country, attended the convention. Subjects of importance to col leges of liberal arts were dis cussed, and . reports on educa tional surveys were made. 'Mr. Reis, of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, spoke on "The College Man's Place in Business." According to Dean Hobbs, President Lowell of y Harvard made the most interesting speech. He was commenting on the reports of the committees which were attempting to decide the proper ratio of professors to students. He said that the proper ratio was one to one, that it took one man to educate one man, and that man was the man himself. Dean Hibbard, formerly a dean of ..this University, was present as a-representative of Northwestern University. Dean Eisenhartj president of Princeton, Lorado Taf t, a promi nent sculptor, and John Erskine, a musician of repute, addressed the delegates. Erskine favored the granting of college credit to students for their ability to play instruments. He said that cred it was given for theoretical musical training, as classes in harmony ; but that actual ability in playing any instrument was in reality discouraged. Nearly six hundred delegates attended the meetings.; Dean Hobbs was the only representa tive who went from the Univer sity. McCorkle To Appear In Vesper' Program Professor T.Smith McCorkle of the music department will present a violin concert Sunday afternoon at four-forty-five. He will be assisted at the piano by Mrs. McCorkle. The program is the following: Sonata, Op. 45, Grieg; Concerto, u minor, Vieuxtemps ; La Gitana, Kreis ler : Humoresque, Tor Aulin; and Le Coucou, Daguin-Press. d a mm ii n a at TO APPEAR HE ON FEBRUARY 6 Carola Goya Dance Recital Will Be Initial Performance in New Memorial Hall- Carola- Goya, performer on the first number offered by the entertainment - series, comes here February sixth to bring a variety of Spanish dances as the opening production in the new Memorial Hall. La Libertad of Madrid describes the work of Miss 1 Goya in the followng manner : "Carola Goya's dances are of extraordinary beauty, color, and rhythm, and in the finest spirit of the traditional Spanish dance, which, all too un fortunately, is dying out even in Spain. She has caused a genu ine sensation." Manuel del Cas tillo Otero of Seville, the great est living authority on the Span ish dance, says "Carola Goya gives the true essence of the Spanish dance. All of her dances are absolutely authentic in form and expression. She is taking to other countries the Spanish dance as it really is." Miss Goya made her first ap pearance in London before the King and Queen of Afghanistan. She has won universal acclaim in Europe, where she was a sen sation. - Miss Goya not only made ap pearances at the Coliseum and Alhambra theatres in London, but she was chosen to dance at a charityf un under the patron age of Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of York, in, the great Hall of the ancient middle Tem ple, the only dancer to perform in this hall since the days of Queen Elizabeth. She also re presented Spain at the Interna tional Garden party given by the League of Nations Union under the sponsorship of Vis count Cecil at Hampstead Heath and was hailed in the London press the next day as "Spain's beautiful propagandist of Peace." Besides her European tri umphs Miss Goya has received warm comments from the New York press. Last year she gave eighteen recitals, alone and with assisting artists in New York City. Her last program was presented in Carnegie Hall. In addition to the authentic Spanish dances Miss Goya offers several numbers of her own creation to music by modern Spanish composers "Cordoba" and "Mariposa" by Albeniz, "La Vida Breve" and "Ritual Fire Dance" by De Falla, and "Ron dolla Aragonesa" and "Anda louse" by Granados, the steps and figures for these, however, being drawn from the inexhaust ible store of traditional Spanish dances. Relations Institute To Participate In Phelps Stokes Fund Due to ' ' the considerable amount of illness among faculty members, the Human Relations Institute scheduled committee meeting failed to meet yester day and was postponed until next Wednesday, February 4. Specific business of next week's meeting will be to agree on the first invitations that have gone out to four speakers.
