IRISH LEADER TO VISIT UNIVERSITY Dr. George" Russell, poet, painter, and expert on rural civilization, will visit Chapel Hill and the University on Tues day and Wednesday, March 10 and 11. He is to deliver a pub lic address in Raleigh on the evening of March 9. The place, time and subject will be an nounced later. Dr. Russell, who in his writ ing is known as "A. E." has been a great leader in the formation of the Irish Free State and in developing the rural life in that state. He has been brought to America by a committee in New The appearance of Miss Frances Lee, fashion editor of College Humor, created quite a stir among the staff members of three campus publications j York and is being sent through yesterday afternoon. Miss Lee is; out the nation on a lecture tour on a good will tour of the col lege campuses of the country, picking up criticism of her magazine and gathering infor mation about' the ' various schools. t , : Arriving in the Daily Tar Heel office, she was introduced to Editor Will Yarborough, to Clyde Dunn, editor of the Yackety Yack, and to Kermit Wheary, editor of the Buccaneer. Coming unexpectedly through; his .stirring opinions and the dashing manner with which he presents them to his audience. Correspondents of the Ameri can press have given him such high praise that a tour was ar ranged, beginning at about the first of this month. He apolo gizes for his age, but never for his opinions. Always his views do not meet with agreement, but that only makes them more in teresting. Coming from a long line of distinguished-English statesmen, Randolph Churchill seems cap able of upholding the family prestige and even surpassing it. He clings firmly to the policies of the Constitutional party in England, and there are many who predict that he possesses the force that will rally the youth of that country to the aid of conservative group. His grandfather, Lord Ran dolph Churchill (1849-1895), was the third son of John, seventh Duke of Marlborough, born in Blenheim Palace. Enter ing Parliament, he early made his mark. Not content to accept policies and parties as he found them, he formed what was then known as the "Fourth Party" Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, Sir John Gorst, and Ar thur Balfour being the others, all young Conservatives, which in these days would be called a "Ginger Group." By 1878 he had aroused the Conservative Party. to. give his views on rural orga nization to the American people. A committee, of welcome, headed by Dr Clarence Poe of Raleigh, and of which President Frank Graham is a member, will receive him in Raleigh. definitely the policy of "Progres sive Conservatism" which was known as "Tory Democracy" and challenged the claim of the Liberals to be the champions of the masses. In 1886 he was Chancellor of the Exchequer and leader of the House oj Commons. Lord Randolph was linked to the United States by his marriage to Jennie, daughter of Leonard Jerome, of New York. , The Right Honorable Winston Spencer Churchill, P. C, C. H., holds a unique position among the statesmen of England. Au thor and painter in his spare moments, he has held almost every first rank administra tive post in many British cabi nets during the past twenty five years. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Secretary for War and Air, Home Secretary, Colo nial' Secretary, and First Lord of the Admiralty. The readiness of the Navy, almost pre-readi-ness, at the outbreak of the great wrar won national grati tude for Mr. Churchill, for on the declaration of war August 4, 1914, the fleet was found "ready" at their war stations; there had to be no hasty mobili-j zation. Brilliant, daring, and f arseeing, his actions have, if not at the moment, in after years almost invariably received the" stamp of approval and justi fication. Now to America comes the second Randolph Churchill, who has charm, youth and eloquence, and possesses the gift of ora tory in which " his father and grandfather shone. Immediately following one of his addresses at Oxford University, a cable was sent to the New York Times, which said : .

That the talking pictures will never replace the legitimate stage or interfere with the popu larity ol play presentation, is the opinion of Sir Philip Ben Greet, 72 year old English actor, who will appear in Chapel Hill April 14, given in an interview with the University of Iowa lowanian. "The talkies have opened up a new field of remarkable enter tainment, especially for people who do not approve of, or are unable to witness stage perfor mances," Sir Philip said. For himself, he prefers ' silent pic tures. "If all the pictures were like Abraham Lincoln, I would soon become a film fan," he said. Praises Speech Schools -Speech schools in universities are a wonderful thing, Sir Philip believes. He stresses the im portance of speaking English properly. "We mail the English language," he stated,- "and speech departments in schools can correct this fault." Confi dence, poise, and assurance are developed through the study of speech, even though the student does .not intend to become an actor. Sir Philip says that the ability to act is essential for a successful, stage career. "There is a very poor chance for the in competent actor. He is nothing but a fluke if he gets a part in a play," he believes. Actor Compares Audiences The difference . between American and English audi ences, Sir Philip saftl, is that Americans laugh at the stage business, and the Englishmen March 25, 1927.

Mr. Cobb has been a member of the Uni versity faculty for thirty-nine years. This will be the first time for many years that he has addressed groups in Saint Mary's school, as the last time was in 1879. The subject of Dr. Cobb's talk will be "Caribbean Lands." He will supplement his talk with numerous pictures illustrative of the subject he is to discuss. He will explain many interesting phases of the geological forma tions in the Caribbean regions.

This bill is the one that provides for merging the three state sup ported institutions into the Uni versity of North Carolina. This plan will go into effect at the be ginning of the next school year. Although the University, State College, and N. C. C. W. will be combined into one university, the three will continue to operate as separate plants and under separate managements, retain ing individual . endowments and loan funds.

The audiences i that many applications have al- named. Representative Jeff ress are equally appreciative1 of Shakespeare. Sir Philip says, "The play is the thing! not the characters, but the plot." He seldom looks at a program when he attends the theatre. Sir Philip has been on the stage for fifty-one years, play ing various parts in Shake speare and some modern plays. Last summer his company pres ented Diplomacy, Xillies of the Field, Hay Fever, Outward Bound, and She Stoops to Con quer, among their modern plays.
