SEVEN POINTS CONSIDERED 3Iake-up, Style, Features, Edi torials, News, Sports, and Columns Used in Rating. (Editor's Note: This is the second annual survey of the country's lead ing college dailies, conducted every -vrinter quarter by the chairman of the editorial board. This function is performed solely by The Daily Tar Heel for the college press of the United States and Canada.) By Don Shoemaker In surveying the work of the college press during the last year, it is apparent that the cur rent depression has exercised little effect on the tone and qual ity of collegiate journalism. To balance budgets several of the larger dailies have been forced to print their papers in tabloid style, with a concurrent saving in newsprint and mechanical ex penses. Several have reduced their publication to five days a week; others have recently ac quired the daily status and still others have been relegated to the weekly or semi-weekly field. An exhaustive survey con ducted since early December of 1932 of the best dailies indicates that the college press has weath ered the storm in an admirable manner. Many are supported almost solely by. student sub scriDtion. but those who must realize financial support from . advertising alone have managed io maintain a standard far above that of the professional daily. ; In selecting those dailies to be ranked as the nation's best (Continued on last page) FEBRUARY ISSUE OF 'LAW REVIEW JUST OFF PRESS J.

TAYLOR TO READ "CAVALCADE" AT THEATRE TONIGHT Noel Coward's Brilliant Success Will Start Sunday Night Readings For This Quarter. Cavalcade, Noel Coward's brilliantly successful play, will be read by Professor W. R. Tay lor tonight at 8 :30 o'clock in the Playmaker theatre. - Prof essor Taylor is head of the depart ment of dramatics at the Wo man's College, in Greensboro. Dealing in particular with struggles of the Marryot fam ily of London, Cavalcade also presents a general survey of the story of England from 1889 to the present day as seen through the sensitive eyes of a mother. Writing Cavalcade in the tender and emotional vein in which he did, Coward has departed from the smart and whimsical man ner which has characterized his previous works. This produc tion achieved outstanding suc cess as a stage play and a move ment is on foot in England to have Coward knighted for writ ing it. Fox has recently made the play into a movie and it is now running at the Gayety thea tre, New York. The reading resumes the reg ular monthly presentations of the Playmakers, no program being held last month due to the observance of the Shaw-Hender son festival in the theatre.

For many years after its founding at the mid-way mark of the last century it was the only publica tion of any importance on the T if campus, in tnose times as in more recent days the Magazine served as a criterion of the lit erary thought of its contempor aries. The efforts, aspirations, and ideals of the creative writ ing, and thinking groups of the University for almost a hundred years are preserved in the issue of the"oldest college literary pub lication in the country. A mighty transformation has taken place in the content of the Magazine between 1845 and 1933. The period which saw one war wrack the country and another strain its resources to the utmost is well reflected in the numbers of the Magazine. Though yellowed and having the appearance of mighty documents of state the Magazine bears mute testimony to the fact that topics of current interest and the pursuit Of the Muse's favor COUNTSFORZATO LECTURE HERE AT ASSEMBLY PERIOD Eleven O'clock Classes Will Be postponed Half an Hour for Diplomat's Speech.

After having served in differ ent embassies, including Paris, London, and Constantinople, Count Sforza became Italian minister to China from 1911 to 1915. being at the time the youngest minister in the Italian service. Recalled to Europe at the entrance of Italy in the World War, he was appointed minister to Serbia. He entered the Italian senate in 1919 and soon became secre tary of state for foreign affairs! He is still a senator. During his direction of Italian diplom acy he took part in most of the post-Versailles meetings includ ing the Spa conference and the London and Paris conferences. o jhave engrossed the attention of Carolina students in an un broken line down to the present. Different Styles of Writing The writers of bygone days were more prone to argument and to didactic essays thn the present era can imagine. New national laws must be explained, they felt. Innovations in ' the state banking practices must be set forth. Oddly enough, m this, a scientific age, articles on scien tific topics seldom appear in the Maaazine. But William Rand Kenan, Jr., donor of Kenan Me morial Stadium, took time out to explain to puzzled contempor aries, in 1895, the future of pe troleum as a coming fuel. Despite the fact that the'edi tors were a contentious lot, they desired to foster a wooing of the Muses among the students in a way which has always brought results. They offered prizes One of their advertisements runs thus: "A $15 violin for the best bit of verse. Ten dollars in cash for the best short story. Year's subscription to Life for the bes cartoon." But the editors were also a wary lot and they stipu (Continued on last page) George Watts Hill Herbarium To Botany Department Famous Botanist The late William Willard Ashe, whose well known Her barium of more than 20,000 dried plants has just been acquired by the University's botany depart ment through the generosity of George WTatts Hill of Durham, is pictured above.
