VOLUME XLII BRILLIANT OF SID)-WINTERS CONTMTO TODAY Johnny Hamp and Orchestra Play for Annual German Af fair Yesterday and Today. TEA DANCE SET FOR 4:30 With Johnny Hamp and his ICentuckians supplying smooth syncopated melodies, the annual mid-winter dances of the Ger man club swung into action yes terday with two brilliant affairs on the day's social card. A tea dance was held in Bynum gym nasium yesterday afternoon and a formal dance last night. Today's social program in cludes another tea dance from 4:30 to 6:00 o'clock in the gym, followed by. the last of the se ries, a formal affair, tonight be ginning at 9 :00 o'clock. , One of Best Sets A beautifully-decorated set in orange nd . maroon and the widely. , known rhythm . of Hamp's band has made the se ries one of .the best mid-winter dance sets in recent years. Ag new Bahnson and Frank Wil son are the junior and senior figure leaders, respectively. Hamp ahd his popular- or chestra were suggested to . fill the engagement previously con tracted for by Emerson Gill by the Music Corporation of Amer ica because of their well-suited arrangements for collegiate toces. : Gill s: appearance was.. ma.de impossible due'to a pre vious contract with Davidson College which prevented his or chestra aDnearinsr within 180 miles of that school for at least a week previous to that affair. When Johnny Hamp made his appearance here on the campus in 1930 for the first set of the junior-senior dances, he was re vived with rare applause. ER M Faculty To Hear Three Proposals Concerning New Quiz Procedure Suggestions Formulated at Joint Meeting of Student Council And Faculty Committee. WILL COME UP AT MEETING Three proposals concerning changes in the conduct of quiz zes and examinations which will be submitted to the faculty at its next meeting were announced yesterday .by Harper , Barnes president of the student body. The suggestions follow : 1. That the instructor be readily available at all times to be of assistance during the quiz or examination. 2. In order- to avoid suspic ion, when students have studied together in preparation for a quiz or examination, the in structor should request that they be seated in different parts of the room. ; '. 3. That at the time of the quiz or examination all material relating to the subject matter of the course should be placed in the custody of the instructor. The proposals were formu lated by the Student council and the executive committee of the facultv at a ioint meeting of the two groups. Although the committee np longer exists, the proposals will be submitted the ' faculty as joint suggestions of the Student council and the committee, as they were drawn up and ap proved before the group went out of existence. Historic Societies Get Hot Di and Phi Declare Open Warfare as Each Is Robbed of Property, r '' And Groups Set Out to Avenge Villainous Proceedings. ; Open warfare has burst forth on "the campus in its most fe rocious form. Espionage sys tems such as have never before been witnessed have been set up and are combing enemy terri tory for possible information concerning plans of campaign. Sinister figures are seen dart ing, silently -behind' trees and shrubs in the dead of night: . No bloodshed has as yet been reported,. The struggle, has been proceeding in a most amaz ing and unusual manner, having consisted in a series of bold thefts. Fighterson both sides side anxiously by waiting to see what the' next development will be. Most of the visible ac tivity consists of volleys of ac cusations fired back anof forth across the front line. Di vs. Phi The opposing factions in the horrible struggle are the Dia lectic senate and the Philan thropic assembly. These two bodies nave dropped their cus tomary dignity in the excite ment of the contest. It all be gan last Tuesday when two startling discoveries were made. In the senate chamber constern ation reigned after the discov ery of the theft of the gold head from the cane of their presid ing officer and an almost inval uable" record ' book.

C SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1934 a riotous scene was taking place as a result of the disappearance of their record book, constitu tion and rules of order. Immediately the indignant senators of the Di shouted, ."Those dirty - so-and-sos from the Phi are responsible, for this." The Phi representatives were exclaiming at the same time in just as ruffled a tune, "Oh, to get my fingers around the neck of one' of those, d senators." When it was reveal ed that similar occurances had taken place in both camps, each accused the other of - having hidden his own property in or der to hide his guilt. ' Phi vs. Di The espionage systems set up have already- met some small measure of success. The Di has recovered its record book. It was found in the rotunda of the library, with - .blasphemous inscriptions" scattered through it such as, "Down with the Pi; Up with the 'Phi; never say Di (die) ."-. These sleuths have vowed to' keep up their , work until all is returned. . . ' . The Phi has met with no suc cess in retrieving its property to date, but each member has taken a solemn oath to keep up the search until the goal is reached. We look on, trembling lest lives be uselessly lost in this gigantic' struggle. ; LIBRARY OBTAINS SMTOMAN SET Specially Printed Edition of Il lustrated Books on Science Received Here. ' The University library has recently acquired a set of books from, the Smithsonian Institute on various scientific sub j ects. The set, which consists of 12 vol umes, is handsomely bound in red imitation leather. The set that has been acquired by the library is a special set, the "Pa- jtron's Set" which was printed for the patrons These books were put but by the institute for two purposes; first, to diffuse knowledge among the people, by putting out a set of volumes on scientific subjects in a popular . style ; and second, to make money for the institute. The books sell at a high price, around $125. Careful Printing Every care was taken in the printing of the set. The paper is of the best that could be ob tained, the set is hand printed, with 1804 illustrations, 1,118 of which were put in by hand. Twenty-two' carat gold is used in the binding. . ; Two extraordinary illustra tions in the set are a luminous plate in the tenth volume and a plate of the spectrum in the sec ond volume that required the re building of an entire printing press in order to print it. The plate is the most perfect repro duction of the spectrum ever made, and according to a ' pam phlet circulated with the vol ume, is puzzling master printers as to how it was done with one printing. Luminous Plate The luminous plate in volume ten is on the subject of luminous crustaceans. Several years of experimentation was required in (Continued on last pagt) COMIC OPERETTA CLOSES TONIGHT "Princess Ida" Is First Musical Comedy Endeavor Attempted By Carolina Playmakers.

Holding on to the edge of the mattress, Sybille Berwanger ad justed herself in order to look J down without getting sea-sick. She managed to rest her chin on the very edge without mishap, and upon leaning over, she clutched every available wrin kle in the squashy mattress and shrieked, "I shall have 'high sterics' immediately." Second-floor inhabitants of the co-ed shack pushed their way to the room from which emerged the shriek and stared at a very hectic jumble of furni ture (leaning in treacherous di rections) , suit cases spilling out moth-balled garments, cos metics rolling about, sofa pil lows, heavy brown strips of pa per, and ... in the mjdst of the apartment . . . twin beds placed toge'ther in order to hold a very, very deep double-bed spring and mattress ; higher up, in the midst of the very, very deep springs and mattress sprawled Miss Berwanger (of Tar H eel Ilssketballers Meet Duke Blue Devils In Important Encounter UNION TO RECEIVE LECTURE ON ART Graham Memorial to Present Broadcast at 8:00 O'clock.

A Gift! As she looked about at the ghastly jumble of her own and her roommate's possessions, she made a weary face, and began to answer the questions: "Weeeeel," (she stopped to muffle a few more giggles and to inquire of one particularly curious female who was stand ing almost underneath the bed, "How is the weather down there?") . . .
