VALUE OF FOLK
MUSIC RELATED
BY STRINGFIELD
At the meeting of the insti
tute of folk music yesterday af
ternoon in the Hill music hall,
Lamar Stringfield, composer and
folk music authority, talked on
the value of folk music in mod
ern music. He indicated the
manner in which a composer
who was well-versed in theory
and orchestration could not
write a first-class composition
without having access to some
melody. Stringfield said that
there is enough melody for all
in the folk music. G. L. Bason
sang two of Stringfield's com
positions, one written to a poem
by Sara -Teasdale, and the. other
composed to a vers libre poem.
Stringfield; also played sev
eral phonograph records, among
them Stravinsky's Fire bird, ex
plaining how it derives some of
its melody from folk music.
Y.M.C.A. VOTESTO
GALL FOR HONOR
SYSTE1PLEDGES
Proposed Change Requires Stu
dents to Sign Pledge to Re
port All Violations.
Members of the Y. M. C. A.,
meeting in joint session last
night in the Y, voted by acclama
tion to stand behind President
Mayne Albright of the student
body in favoring the proposed
change in the honor system re
quiring each student at registra
tion to sign a pledge to report
all violations of the honor sys
tem, making him as responsible
as the offender for all violations
of the system as seen by him and
not reported.
By this same vote the mem
bers of all three cabinets sub
mitted that they saw nothing
objectionable in the signing of
pledges at the completion of
quizzes. Upening a lengtny dis
cussion previous to the-voting,
Albright expressed a desire to
have the group find it in accord
ance with their desires to exert
their influences as a campus or
ganization and as. individuals
in having this addition to the
present system approved by the
student body. He stated that he
considered it undoubtedly a
material benefit in its effect
upon the efficiency of the system.
President F. M. James, of the
Y, suggested March 28, as the
date for the election of officers
for the coming year. His sug
gestion and appointments to the
nominating committee were ac
cepted by the members. Ac
cording to the constitution of the
Y adopted last fall the election
of the officers will no longer be
cnhiprt. to a vote of the entire
campus.
To be eligible to vote in the
coming elections one must have
contributed a sufficient ' sum to
the Y. M. C. A. to receive a
membership card or have at
tended enough meetings of the
organization required to be list
ed on the roll as a member.
The constitution provided for
the membership of the organiza
tion to decide whether election of
officers should be conducted by
the student council or by the
organization itself. It was de
cided to have the election con
ducted by the officers of the Y.

The junior-senior dance com
mittee will meet tomorrow night

of Graham Memorial.
University Hadio Station Entered
In Short Wave Amateur Contest
0
Station W4WE Was at One Time in Communication With Byrd
And McMillan Expeditions; Has Been Heard
All Over the World.
Huddled over a long table
strewn with mysterious tubes
and coils, a small group of Uni
versity students stands listen
ing to messages flashed from
across the sea. Even in the early
hours of morning when the rest
of Chapel Hill sleeps, these boys
are "awake and working. The
annual, amateur radio contest is
on.
For six days, beginning last
Saturday, the operator of radio
station W4WE must be constant
ly on the alert. There can be no
sleeping at the switch. He must
be continually tuning and mak
ing delicate adjustments in or
der that his instruments may
pick up even the faintest of radio
waves.
The first three days, American
and foreign stations took turns
in broadcasting and receiving.
For four hours at a time
American stations remained sil
ent, bending all their energies
towards catching messages from
abroad, each station vieing with
the other in an effort to pick up
the greatest number of distant
places. Then the American sta
tions broadcast to the foreign
countries. The last three days
of the contest are being spent in
endeavoring to get into actual
communication with these sta
tions abroad.
In 1918 a group of students
and faculty members interested
in radio decided to erect a broad
casting station here. For several
years, on their own initiative,
they operated this station, but
about 1921, it was taken over by
the electrical engineering de
partment of the University.
MEYER TALKS ON
SOCIALCHANGES
Speaker Says Most Unemploy
ment Is Due to Inability to
Make Social Adjustments.
Dr. H. D. Meyer of the soci
ology department .spoke in as
sembly yesterday on "Social Ad
justment." Meyer made the
statement that sixty per cent of
employees are discharged not
because of inefficiency but be
cause of inability to . make social
adjustments to their jobs. He
gave an illustration from a
periodical. "Out of fifty-one
college graduates who applied
for a certain position, not one
measured up to the qualifica
tions demanded by one man who
was careful to require that his
employees should be able to ad
just themselves socially," de
clared, Dr. Meyer.
"Science and the machine are
veritably changing the face of
the earth," stated the speaker.
As an outgrowth of these
changes, he explained, we have
individual "group relationship"
which is one of the causes of
failure in social adjustment, and
certain conditions which greatly
increase its complexity. Of these
latter, he mentioned five: wide
distribution of population, new
sources of contact among men;
such as the radio, growth of so -
cial knowledge, a defective or de
linquent society, and the coming
of the machine and large-scale
production.
"These changes are going on
and on," declared Dr. Meyer.
"We can discern no set pattern,
but we must be plastic to meet
their varying forces."
From its modest beginning the
station has gradually grown un
til it is one of the best and most
powerful amateur stations in the
country. There is no part of the
world in which it has not been
heard. Australia, Hawaii, Tas
mania, Morocco, Palestine,
Czecho-Slavakia, even in the
most remote recesses, the voice
of the University has been
picked up. . ,
Several times station W4WE
was in communication with the
McMillan arctic expedition, and
almost constantly with the Byrd
operators in the Antarctic. Many
messages from the inhabitants
of Little America were relayed
to their relatives in the United
States by this station. Admiral
Byrd Has written a letter thank
ing the operators of this sta
tion for their assistance to the
expedition.
The amateur contest is noth
ing new to W4WE. Once the
winner, and several times the
near winner, it is a veteran in
the field. R. F. Stainback, of the
department of electrical en
gineering, and the faculty mem
ber connected with the station
expressed hope in the possibili
ties of a good record in this
W
year's contest, since much new
equipment has been installed and
the old worked over.
The station is operated by stu
dents who "are" first class ama
teurs and have been in the Uni
versity for at least a year. In
this contest six of, the best op
erators will work in shifts in an
effort to put up some stiff com
petition for the rest of the ama
teur radio world.

MONEY IS RAISED
FOR LETTERS ON
LOAN FUND DRIVE
Juniors and Seniors Appropriate
loney to Send Letters
To Parents.
The junior and senior class
have raised money for the pur
pose of sending letters to all
parents of University students
reporting the success of the lo
cal drive for the student emerg
ency loan fund.
These letters tell briefly the
progress and co-operation in a;
common cause. They are being
sent in the belief that many
parents would desire to know the
success of this project and
would like to have some share in
raising this fund, whether or(
not their sons are dependent
upon financial help for continu
ing their studies in the Univer
sity. Many parents have, with
out being requested, generously
contributed. It is known that
one mother gave $1,000 toward
the cause.
As a further example of con
tribution from parents, the let
ters enclose reprints of a
father's letter which appeared
in recent issues of the Daily TA8 '
Heel and Alumni Review, . It is
thought that these messages will
make known the great need of
contributions to a great number
of people in all parts of the
country. v
