"The great significance of mu sic lies within its scope as a lit erature," stated T Smith Mc Corkle, acting head of the de partment of music, last night in the first of a series of-lectures on musicology in the Hill music liall. In comparing music with lit erature, McCorkle stated, "Good literature, as I conceive it, is the product of thoughtful and sym pathetic philosophy, and to me the literature of music is equal ly accurate, forceful, and i in telligible in its portrayal of hu man philosophies and emotions." In writing' music, according to the music head, the charac ters are bits of tunes as in drama the characters are human per sonalities. "The music writer allows the musical characters ' to pursue their own way in line with their natural bent, but they are also subjected to the environment of association with the other mu sical characters or themes." MoCorkle's talk is the first of a series of lectures which will be given every Wednesday night m the Music building on the gen eral subject of music. Dean Jackson Speaks Dr. W. C. Jackson, dean of the school of public administration, spoke before the student body of Greensboro high school Tues day on "Robert E. Lee." Olsen to Give Reading At Bull's Head Today Professor W.'A.

SNAVELY TALKS WITH OFFICIALS Bucknell Coach in Chapel Hill For Interview; Bell Left For Texas Yesterday. Working their hidden ball play to perfection,-Coach Bob Fetzer and Dr. Foy Robefson made a. short gain yesterday in the coaching muddle. Slipping and weaving so no one could find them, the two members of the council conferred with Carl Snavely, Bucknell coach who was in Chapel Hill for the sec ond time yesterday. Coach Madison Bell, f ormerly of Texas A. and M., who was in town the early part of the week checked out of the Carolina Inn yesterJayt for Houston, Tex as. v Even -before -he, had -gone, Snavely blew into Durham for his second trip south in recent weeks and conferred with Dr. Roberson there coming to Chapel Hill later in the day. He looked over the University, chaperoned by Chuck Erickson. Just as Bible, and Morrison recommended Bell, Coach J. L. Marks, of Kiskiminetas prep school, - recommended Snavely very highly. Marks has tutor ed such stars as Barclay, Cliff Montgomery, Joe Galius, Bob Hamilton and countless other collegiate stars who began their football career at Kiski. It is believed in some circles that due to the fact that Carolina has been getting some outstanding men from Kiski recently Coach Marks' recommendation wil carry considerable weight with the council. Bell Well Liked Bell made quite a favorable impression with members of the council he met as. well as other students that conversed with him. He was very well pleased with the set-up here, comment ing especially on the beauty of Kenan stadium. It was also learned last night through the Daily Texan, pub lication of the University of Texas that Clyde Littlefield, head coach of the Longhorn track .squad and former head footbal coach, had been questioned by Coach Bob at Chicago through the Texas representative at the coaching meeting. Littlefield re signed the football coaching job this year but may be rehired He was not consider ed very carefully but is out of the pic ture due to the fact that he has three years of his track contract to fill. - Dn Pierson Leaves Dr. William W.

Man-Hunting At Women's Colleges Provides Adventure And Romance Dating Systems at Peace, Greensboro, Meredith, and Queens Found to Vary in Efficiency Or Freedom Enjoyed There is adventure in dating a girl at most any woman's col lege in North Carolina. Jf it weren't for the fact that there are so many brothers and cou sins and uncles floating about, it's wondered what the poor fe male would do with her week ends. At Peace, unless he happens to be a cousin or a brother or an uncle, young men are sup posed to avoid the campus ex cept "weekendsonly." When the time finally arrives, the Peace pursuing fellow begins to feel belligerent. Before he can reach the longing lass behind the par lor door, it is essential that he deposit his chewing gum, brush his hair with the backs of his palms; and enter the dean's of fice. There he is tremulously presented by the female to-be-dated. ' Strictly Private The parlor doors having been propped open (in spite of drafts), the date ensues; con versation is helped along with an occasional contribution of students passing by, the dean in the next room, and a somewhat inquisitive night-watchman. The evening ends abruptly with a "tearing-away" of the young men beneath the spiral staircase next the exit. If one of them happens to look up, he invari ably notes a long line of pajama clad legs, making splashes of blue and green and crimson where legs are braced against the rails of the stairway. The young men cease their pondering over the flavor of lipstick they would e joy most and stare NX.

They are "Mark Twain : Son of Missouri" by Minnie M. Bras hear and "Culture in the South" edited by W. T. Couch. In "Mark Twain : Son of Mis souri" the author traces the formative elements in Twain's immediate inheritance and ear ly environment, showing in de tail the cultural resources of his region and proving that the "Shadow of Europe" fell not only upon 'the eastern seaboard but also upon the Mississippi valley and one of its most fam ous: sons. Mark Twain is spoken of as "a man possessed of such charm that, with his tongue and his pen, he could amuse the whole world. In regard to his ac tions the author says, "It is more important to know how an important American, writer re acted to persons and objects in his environment than to theo rize about how he should have reacted." Disproves Commentaries The author has as her pur pose in this book the attempt to verify her impression that com mentaries on Mark Twain, which have pointed to his middle west (Continued on last page) and Efficacy; Little Privacy Except in Chapel Hill. o gloomily back at the merry eyed ladies on the rails. At Meredith there isn't any one to call the girls when the dates arrive. Hence they have what has been labeled "the wait ing line," which forms about 7:50 p, m. "This is really a game, ana tne point is,' says one alumna, "Not to be stood up." Scramble at Meredith A bus brings most of the chaps out to Meredith. When the licking, halting noises of the bus are heard, the straggling line lunges on to the porch to grab the date as he emerges from the bus. Safely in hand, (at Peace it has been delicately suggested that thumbs are enough to hold) , female drags male into the parlor toward a lounge which is marked "Re served" by a conspicious sign. Limited soace means limited dates at Queens College ; so the main objective is to sign up days ahead of time. The deadline on dates is Saturday night, Sunday being a day of rest for pursuers, pursued, and counselors. A present student writes : "the new night-watchman- promenades and oromenades ." Hectic parlor-life is occasionally avoid ed when seniors are allowed to be accompanied via streetcar to the movies. At the Woman's College m Greensboro the dateroppression is decreasing. With good be havior, upper classmen can have innumarble 'dates.
