HIKES-GRANT STATE TENNIS TITLE COURT NO. 1 3:00 7f 'HI - --ri rte PRE-LAW LECTURE V M.T. VANHECKE LAW BUILDING 7:30 1 J ! LL .. J : ' JUNIORS-SENIORS STAGE GREATEST DMCEMREYET Conduct, Music, Decorations, And Management Reach High est Standard on Record. 'The University prosaically yesterday went sweeping away -the debris of the most elaborate and most democratic dance Tvhich it has ever been its privi lege to enjoy. Johnny Hamp's music, Messrs. Greene, Albright and Breen's decorations, the Chapel Hill women's tea garden, to say nothing of the beautiful ly gowned women and smartly dressed men have now become a part of an epoch in social life at the University of North Caro lina. The Junior-Senior dances proved the theory of some cam pus leaders that larger, and more elaborate dances to which all men of the classes sponsor ing the affairs could come, were needed and would be successful. Dr. W. S. Bernard, faculty manager of dances felt so en thusiastic over the success of the venture that he was heard to remark to Maestro Hamp that he felt that "no dance could have been as soberly and as ef ficiently managed anywhere in America." Hamp himself was most grate ful for the reception which he was accorded here saying that ""this was the largest college crowd to which we had ever played and I am perfectly sin cere in saying that it was the best managed and soberest dance "which we have yet played to in the South. In fact, we are very much attached to . Chapel Hill and the University of North Carolina." If Hamp felt friendly toward University men and their part ners, the feeling was all the more reciprocated on the part of the audience. For fully an hour before closing time each night . hundreds of persons stopped dancing altogether in order to listen to the offerings of the "King of Polite Music" and his men. Carl Goerch and cheru bic "Andy" who scored vocally were the admired center of at traction whenever they sang, which they cheerfully obliged by frequently doing. Hamp ranks equal now in the minds of the student body with Guy Lombardo as one 'of the hest two orchestras in America. Some were concerned over possible misconduct on the part of such a large audience, but Carolina men responded so over whelmingly that it appears that despite the fact that more tlian two thousand persons attended the set, that not a single person will be reported for misconduct. (Continued on last, page) SOPHOMORE HOP SET FOR FRIDAY After the preliminary dance at the Junior-Senior ball, the sophomores will have their hop f riday evening in Bynum gym nasium between the hours of 9 :30 and 1 :00 o'clock. Jelly keftwich and his University Club orchestra have been en gaged to furnish the music for the affair. The dance . committee in charge of the arrangements for the hop is composed of: Shady Lane, chairman; John McCamp kell, Dan McDuffie, and Tom Watkins. The dance is to be strictly formal ; no persons appearing in other than evening dress will be admitted. ' . Playmaker Tryout For 'Perfect Alibi' a Try-outs for The Perfect Ali bi, the final Carolina Playmak ers production of the season will be held in the Playmakers Thea tre on Wednesday evening at 7:30. The Playmakers give one full length production each quarter along . with their one-act offer ings, and this A. A. Milne un usual mystery :was chosen to round out the year after careful consideration of quite a number of prospective manuscripts. The previous three-acters have been The Importance of Being Earn est and East Lynne. The Perfect Alibi differs from the ordinary detective drama in that the crime is committed right on the stage early in the even ing, and the audience has the thrill of knowing who is guilty and watching the cast have all sorts of trouble trying to find out. There are parts for three wo men and eight men. Professor Samuel Selden, who will direct the play, has been sick for the past week, but he will get out of bed to conduct the try-outs', being released from the Infirmary for the pur pose. SEVEN SOCIETIES SPONSOR PLANS ; FOR MAY FROLIC Set of Three Dances Planned For May the Eighth and Ninth. An unusually brilliant social season at the University will be brought to a fitting climax with the presentation of the second annual May Frolic, May 8 and 9. The Frolic was inaugurated last year by a set of three dances presented in Bynum gymnasium and the Washington-Duke hotel with music by Jelly Leftwich and his orchestra. This social event is sponsored by the D. K. E., Sigma Chi, Zeta Psi, Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Nu, S. A.' E., and Kappa Sigma fra ternities. The officers of the organization are : Arthur deL.

Assisting mem on xne com mittee are: Dail Holderness, Clyde Dunn, Henry Anderson,! and John Jemison, Jr. Dail; Holderness will lead the figure. Plans for this year's dances are on a much more elaborate scale than last year. Emerson Gill and his victor recording or chestra, which has recently com pleted a long engagement at the Bamboo Gardens, Cleveland, and which has been engaged to play for many of the leading colleges throughout the country, includ ing the Universities of Pennsyl vania, and West Virginia, Wil liams college, Auburn, and Vir ginia Military Institute, have been secured to play for the May Frolic. Immediately after the annual Carolina-Virginia baseball game, the guests of the Frolic will be entertained at a twilight dance snnnsored by the "13" Club at the Carolina Inn. The first for mal dance of the set will take place Friday, May 8, in the Tin Can. The following day there will be a luncheon-dance at the wQO-hiTi(yt.on Duke hotel, Di ham.

An entirely new constitution was adopted in which provision was made for holding regional conferences.

The convention ' heartily en dorsed the program now being supported by the national com mittee on education by radio. John Poweltf Eminent Pianist, HasInterview With Reporter "The besetting sin of Ameri- ca, saia John ro wen, pianist, to a member of the Daily Tar Heel staff in an interview re cently, "is' overspecialization." Mr. Powell comes to Chapel Hill as the guest of Lamar String field from the University of Virginia where he has just finished aiding with a festival of folk music. "Take now the field of educa tion. The average student is content with a B. S., or at most a M. S., which requires only a great deal of knowledge in one field. Formerly, the college man wanted a broad and general cul ture. The' matter has gone so far that even Columbia univer sity, which has been the worst offender, and which even offers a course credit in dish washing, has established a chair for the coordination of knowledge. "Coming nearer home, let's consider athletics. It used to be the case that boys went, out and played a game for the plea sure and exercise that they got out of it. With the coming of specialization, however, the or dinary Dlavpr didn't have a WADE OPPOSES SUPPRESSION OF LEGITIMATE COPY Duke Coach Addresses Sports Session of Publicity Association. Colleges and universities that expect increases in enrollments and endowments to follow natur ally in the wake of championship football teams are making a great mistake, Wallace Wade, famous football coach and direc tor of athletics at Duke Univer sity, declared here Saturday night in an address before the American College Publicity as sociation at the session devoted to discussion of athletic pub licity. "Football is a fine thing for the development of the boys who participate; but contrary to the opinion in some quarters, win ning teams and growth in stu dent enrollment and endowment do not necessarily go hand in hand. My observations lead to the conclusion that colleges can best increase their endowments and enrollments by raising their academic standards, improving their equipment, and bringing to the faculty the best type of teachers." Asked to discuss the question of sport emphasis, Coach Wade said : "rnis is not tne prope season to discuss over-empha sis. That must be reserved for the dull season along in Decern ber and January when the ath letics heads have a lean schedule and the papers need sports copy." Wade expressed the view that athletic departments make a great mistake in suppressing j legitimate news or sending out erroneous statements about weights, injuries, and the like. "The publicity director can be of great assistance to the ath letic department if he will inter pret to the newspapers the in stitution's problems and poli cies," Coach Wade asserted. He thought the chief func tions of an athletic publicity bu reau ought to be to interest the public in the institution and to advertise the events with the view to attracting spectators.

The or dinary member of a college team now is more professional in spirit, and makes more of a busi ness out of his game than the old time prize fighters like' Sullivan. "In my own particular field, that of music, the United States may be said to take more inter est than in any other, for more money is spent here on music to day than on any other business in America. Yet the ma j ority' of people think that they have done their duty by attending an oc casional concert, or by buying a radio or phonograph. The way to enjoy music is to play it. It is better appreciation of music to play, even poorly, than to go to hear every concert that highly trained and paid foreign musician plays. The way to make people musical is to get them to play musictheir own music, and that is the thing that Lamar (Mr. Stringfield was present at the interview) and I are trying to do. That was the (Continued on last page) New Literary Organ Appears On Campus Culminating the work of many weeks, a small group of literary-minded students yester day s distributed their magazine, Contempo, A Review of Ideas and Personalities. Heralded as a publication devoted to ideas and personalities of some sig nificance, Contempo appears with a formidable array of tal ent among its first contributors. Two poems, one by George O'Neil, and one by Lynn Riggs, and articles, one entitled "My Books and the Critics" by the noted socialist, Norman Thomas, and another by Russell Thorn dike comprise the total of signed contributions. Numerous un signed poems, notes, and re views constitute the four page folio. The editors are-M. A. Aber nethy, A. J. Buttita, S. R. Cart er, V. N. Garoffolo and P. Lis kin. The masthead states that "Contempo, Ltd. is a co-operative venture. It does not pay for contributions." In conjunction with the mag azine, the editors are operating a bookshop, called the "Intimate Bookshop" in one of the dormi tory rooms.
