TA-BOWL ADDED
TOSPOPROOM
New Equipment Arrives as Har
ry Comer Lends New
Indoor Game.
Through the courtesy of
Harry Comer of the Y. M. C. A.,
a new addition has been made
to the game room of Graham
Memorial. It is a game called
Ta-Bowl arid it has been loaned
temporarily, but as soon as pos
sible others will be ordered as a
permanent addition for the
benefit of the students.
Manager Noah Goodrige
states that Ta-Botvl is one of the
most interesting games of skill
that he has seen. It is some
what similar to duckpins or
bowling, being played on a
table. The miniature pins are
arranged in order on the table
over which is suspended a ball.
The object of the game is to
knock down the wooden pins on
the back-swing of the ball. This
condition makes keen judgment
of distance a requirement for
playing the game successfully.
Chess Sets Arrive
In addition to the new game,
Manager Goodridge announces
the arrival of the long-awaited
chess and checker sets. There
are now three ping-pong tables
ready for use, where formerly
there had only been two. Any
suggestions as to innovations or
improvements in the game room,
will be welcome. An increasing
interest has been noticed in the
game room in spite of the fact
that the novelty of it has worn
off and the rush to engage pool
tables has somewhat subsided.

Phillips Russell, noted author
and member of the University

Liberalism And Freedom Of
Speech At State Colleges
o
David Clark, Editor of the Southern Textile Bulletin, Brands The
Daily Tar Heel, University, Duke, N. C. C. W and
State College as Spreaders of Radicalism.
o
By Don Shoemaker 1 he was introduced to students
Branding the University of
North Carolina, Duke univer
sity, North Carolina college,
State college and the Daily Tar
Heel as "spreaders of radicalism
and harbingers of extremists
who taint the minds of boys and
girls with insidious doctrines of
free love and conversions to so
cialism and communism," David
Clark, editor of the Southern
Textile Bulletin, delivered a
scorching address to members of
the Greensboro Rotary club
Tuesday, bewailing freedom of
speech in state institutions. -Editorial
Cited
Clark cited an editorial in the
Tar Heel and a communication
from a student which also ap
peared in the publication as evi
dences of the influence of cam
pus radicals and speakers who
have been brought here to ad
dress the student body, holding
Bertrand Russell and Norman
Thomas as examples. - Says the
Greensboro Daily News, which
carried a two column story, and
the Associated Press, on Clark's
allusion to the appearance of
Russell at Chapel Hill and
Greensboro : "One night about
two years ago women at North
Carolina college were called to
gether and Bertrand Russell,
traitor to 'his country, professed
disbeliever in God, and advocate
and practicer of free love, was
presented to them as one of the
world's greatest philosophers, as
a man whose wisdom was great
and to whose teachings heed
should be paid. The next night
Mary Garden Believes Progress
In Arts Due Entirely To W omen

Celebrated Soprano, in Exclusive Tar Heel Interview, Gives Her
Impressions of Modern Youth, But Confesses She
Has Never Seen a Football Game.
o
By Donoh Hanks and Vermont
Royster
"All great progress in the
field of art and music has been
entirely the work of women,"
says Mary Garden, celebrated
soprano. In the opinion of Miss
Garden men have had little to do
with the progress of the arts, but
have been literally dragged by
the women. Previous to the
interview, which was granted
exclusively to the Daily Tar Heel.
Miss Garden had pleased a large
and enthusiastic audience in
the first concert of the season at
Page auditorium, Duke univer
sity, Tuesday night.
Thought Duke Beautiful
When questioned as to her im
pressions of Duke university
which she viewed in thrilling il
lumination Monday evening and
again Tuesday morning, she
burst forth with a spontaneous,
"My God, it's the most beautiful
thing I've seen since Oxford."
Seeing the university makes me
wish I were fifteen. I'd love to
live my life over again in a col
lege town.
"This puts me m mood to wor
ship, not eat," she said when
taken into the spacious arched
dining hall. I am truly sincere.
It is all so surprisingly beauti
ful, so quiet, and inspiring. I
like everything about it."
Progress in Music
In answer to the query as to
whether men are less apprecia
tive of rnusic than women, Miss
Garden emphatically replied,
Bewails
at Chapel Hill by Dr. Archibald
Henderson and again presented
as a great philosopher.
"I. do not believe that the
term 'free speech' can be
stretched to permit a college or
university professor to teach
atheism, free, love, or other in
sidious doctrines . to the boys
and girls intrusted in his care
or to present to them lectures
whose teachings are contrary to
the ideas and ideals of the par
ents of the students," he con
tinued. House Defends University
R. B. House, executive secre
tary of the University, in an in
terview with the Daily Tar
Heel yesterday afternoon dubbed
Clark as a publicity seeker and
deserving of little attention of
those whom his attacks men
tion. "Clark's lectures, as well
as his publication," stated House,
"are consistently full of errors
and misinformation, and I be
lieve that none of his preaching
is founded on fact, for the Uni
versity campus has witnessed
no radical aggitation as an af
termath to any opinions stated
here by either Russell or Thom
as. He neither cares nor seeks
to ascertain conditions as they
exist on this or any other cam
pus, and steadfastly refuses to
become enlightened. The ad
dresses made here by Norman
Thomas last spring were re
ceived as the most brilliant of
their type ever presented here
and "above reproach in every
detail."
"Why certainly. I honestly be
lieve that all the great progress
in the field of art today has been
entirely the work of women.
Men are dragged into the arts,
just as men were dragged here
tonight to hear Mary Garden. It
is woman who have given the
United States its great taste for
classical music."
Mary Garden is a fiery red
head, with a .personality com
mensurate with her hair. Her
vivacity and vibrancy do not sug
gest a star of thirty years of out
standing opera leadership. ' She
seems more like the happy-go-
lucky girl of fifteen as she says
she wishes she Were. Unless one
is a very careful observer the
brilliant red of her hair will
render all other facial charac
teristics almost indistinguish
able. On the stage Miss Garden
has a bearing that is surprising
ly youthful.
Attracted by Youth
She is attracted by youth,
showing not the least hesitation
in talking to, complimenting,
and praising in the most flatter
ing manner, the young masculine
autograph hunters who ap-
proached her. "You look like a
football player," she said to' one
of the boys. The boy apologized
for not being a football player,
but it was quite all right, Miss
Garden would have him know.
"I have never seen -a football
game," she said in excuse for her
mistake.

Di Favors Democracy
Senate Bill Advocating Dictatorship
Is Given Cool Reception.
At the session of the Di Sen
ate Tuesday night, discussion
centered around two bills, one
with respect to the advantages
and disadvantages of a dictator
ship in comparison with a de
mocracy, and the other concern
ing the advisability of Carolina's
playing a post-season charity
football game.
The first bill, as stated, read
as follows : Resolved, that a dic
tatorship governs more for the
good of a country than does a
democracy. Senators Eddleman,
Blackwell, and McKee opposed
the bill, and Senators Blount
and Howell upheld it. The bill
was defeated by a considerable
majority. The second bill, advo
cated by Senator Fleming-Jones,
was passed without discussion.
At this meeting four new men
were voted into the membership
of the Senate: Aydlett Minor,
Joe Hallet, George Steele, and
Allan Little.
PROFESSOR'S WIFE
HURT IN ACCIDENT
According to information re
ceived shortly after noon yes
terday, Mrs. J. F. Dashiell was
injured yesterday near South
Hill, Virginia, when the car in
which she, Mrs. M. T. Van
Hecke, Mrs. E. R. Mosher, and
another lady were riding was in
accident ten miles from the
Virginia city.
The exact statement of Mrs.
Dashiell's injuries could not- be
found when the Daily Tar Heel
went to press last night. Pro
fessor Dashiell, Dean Van Hecke,
and Prof essor Mosher left Chap
el Hill immediately after receiv
ing word of the accident. Since
then, no report has been re
ceived, but it is understood that
Mrs. Dashiell was cut by flying
glass.
The women, it is reported,
were on their way to Richmond,
Virginia, for a shopping trip.
OUSTED PROFESSOR
MAKES PLEA FOR
MORE LIBERALISM
"Universities must ' protect
scholars or perish from the
earth," was the warning given
to the colleges of the world in a
sermon in New York Sunday
night by Professor Herbert A.
Miller, .who was removed from
the sociology department of
Ohio State university last winter
because he attacked military
drill and upheld several liberal
causes.
"Unless a scholar can search
and tell the world what he dis
covers, it would be well that the
university perish from the
earth," Professor Miller stated.
Professor Miller was removed
from his position for certain
liberal views held by him upon
the Indian cause and theories of
race as well as his major stand
upon military drill which he in
sists is opposed to the open
mindedness and criticism which
is the object of an institution of
higher education.
Lecture Postponed
Due to a death in his fam
ily, Rabbi Nathan Krass was
forced to return to his home
from Athens, Georgia, where
he Ijad delivered a series of
lectures. The noted Jewish
orator was scheduled to speak
here today and Friday, but
this sudden interruption caus
es the lectures to be indefinite
ly postponed.

'BEGGAR'S OPERA'
TO BE PRODUCED
TOMORROW NIGHT
John Gay's Two Hundred Year
Old Musical Satire to Start
Entertainment Program.
The Beggar's Opera, John
Gay's two hundred year old
musical satire, which the student
entertainment committee will
present in Memorial hall tomor
row night, has been
the recipient of
some of the most
lavish praise ac
corded to a produc
tion of its kind.
From the time it
was first produced in 1728 until
today, the better critics and the
general public have constantly
pronounced it a witty, tuneful
confection that time alone im
proves. In Gay's time his fav
orable critics were men who
have since become admitted mas
ters of that art, Jonathan Swift,
Joseph Addison, Alexander
I Pope, and William Congreve.
Today finds The Beggar's
Opera receiving the same high
criticism as of yore, if, at least,
from hardly so eminent hands.
Some of the notices written con
cerning the current production
are as complimentary to the pre
sentation as to the play, itself,
which is a rare thing in the
case of a revival of a classic.
The Chicago Tribune thought
that although it was two cen
turies old The Beggar's Opera
was' modern enough for any
flapper. The New York Sun de

Rumor About Lack
Of Water Unfounded
According to J. S. Bennett,
director of the University con
solidated service plants, the
rumor which has been circulat
ing the campus to the effect that
the Chapel Hill water supply is
on the point of exhaustion, is
absolutely without grounds.
Bennett does admit, however,
that the water supply is low.
Yet, there is no immediate dan
ger, since there is enough on
hand to serve the campus needs,
even if the present drought
should continue for another
thirty days.
