New Tune Asked
For School Song
McCorkle Rejects Proposal to
Adopt Austrian National Air
For "Hark the Sound."
Demonstrating the proposal
made by Frank Coxe of Ashe
ville of singing '"Hark the
Sound" to the tune of the Au
strian National anthem, a quar
tet sang Carolina's alma mater
song to a different tune at a
meeting of the Asheville alumni
during the Christmas holidays.
Coxe, Asheville real estate and
bond dealer, has been long dis
contented with the air, "Amici,"
used for Carolina's song because
so many other Universities and
colleges use the same tune. To
gether with Asheville Attorney
Thomas A. Jones, class of '16,
Coxe slightly changed the pres
ent words of "Hark the Sound"
and worked out an arrangement
which might be sung to the Au
strian National hymn.
The tune of the Austrian air
is the same as the well known
hymn, "Glorious Things of Thee
Are Spoken."
T. Smith McCorkle, head of
the University music depart
ment, interviewed about the mat
ter, states, "I am not very keen
on the 'Amici' tune used to
'Hark the Sound,' but of the two
tunes 'Amici' is the better.
"The present air to Hark the
Sound is better than the Au
strian song for, in the first place
the 'Amici' tune is a much hap
pier and joyful one than the
Austrian hymn. In the second
place, the Austrian air has a
wider range of tones than the
present "Amici' tune, and -thus
it would he harder to use in
group singing.. The notes in the
proposed Austrian air do not go
any lower than the present tune,
but they go much Jiigher."
McCorkle's third objection
from the musical standpoint is
that the present words would
have to be changed a great deal
to fit the Austrian air. "Hark the
Sound" is so rhythmed that
there is one syllable to a note,
whereas the proposed Austrian
hymn would be more difficult to
sing because there would be sev
eral words to a note.
Scholarship Committee
Doubts Advisability
Of P. U.'s Action.
The awarding of the " four
newly-created publications schol
arships of the Publication Union
board has been postponed, it
was announced yesterday. Ac
tion will be taken within the
next week.
It was the opinion of the Uni
versity scholarship committee
at its last meeting that the Pub
lications Union board possibly
does not have the power or
right to create the scholarships
with money consisting chiefly
of student fees for the benefit of
a certain class of students
namely, those working as mem
bers of the staffs of the local
publications.
Want Student Opinion
In a letter to Harper Barnes,
president of the student body,
R. B. House, executive secreta
ry of the University and chair
man of the committee, express
ed the desire of the members of
that group to hear an opinion by
the student activities committee
regarding the question. He
stated that the scholarship com
mittee did not wish to contra
dict the action of the board but
desired student expression about
the matter as a student policy.
The scholarship committee al
so recommended to the Publi
cations Union board that the
four scholarships, if they are to
be given, be awarded to mem
bers of the staffs with no stipu
lation, regarding their employ
