dROUP ON 8TH U. S. TOUR
Basil Kibalchich, 4 directing
the Russian Symphonic Choir to
lye heard here under the auspices
of the Student Entertainment
Series April 16, is recognized as
one of the greatest choral con
ductors in the world.
Mr. Kibalchich's career pre
sents a rather varied picture, he
having studied under such old
masters of music of the last cen
tury as Rimsky-Korsakoff.
Later, still under the influence of
that great Russian master,
ICibakhich perfected himself on
-the 'cello, but choral conducting
still received the center of his
attention.
In 1906, as the conductor of
i;he Archangelsky Choir of
Petrograd, Mr. Kibalchich gain
ed a' national reputation, parti
cularly because of his original
ideas in scoring for choral
bodies.
Director in Paris
. Later he accepted the positioi
as choir director at the Russiar
Cathedral in Paris. It was this
Ieriod of his life that he or
ganized his first Russian sym
phonic choir, so-called because
lie built it on the same lines as
.a symphony orchestra. He be-
.gan to tour Europe, and in a
short time was recognized by
the European press as one of
i;he most accomplished choral
conductors before the public.
The present year marks the
eighth season the choir has made
a tour of the United States, pre
senting its colorful programs of

ALUMNI REVIEW
IS GIVM AWARD
Editorial Causes Magazine to
Win First Place Among
Reviews of Country.
The Alumni Review, official
magazine of the General Alumni
Association of the University
-won first place among alumni
magazines throughout the coun
try during the year in quality of
-editorial content, according to
an award just made by the
American Alumni Council. ;
The award was based largely
on an editorial in the February
issue of the Alumni Review in
which Editor J. Maryon Saun
ders, in pointing out the urgent
laeed for a restoration of the
large reductions ' made in Uni
versity appropriations, directed
attention to the fact that with
the 32 per cent cut the Universi
ty faculty members are receiv
ing less than those of any state
university in the south with the
possible exception of South Car
olina. The editorial also stressed the
point that no other university
in the country of similar rank
had cut the pay of its faculty
members as much as the reduct
ion made at North Carolina.
It pointed out that under the
32 per cent cut the salary scale
of faculty members at Carolina
now is as f ollbws : instructors
$1,020-1,360; assistant pro
fessors $1,530-1,870; associate
professors $2,040-2,448; pro
fessors $2,550-3,060.
Watercolorists In Queer Poses
Sketch Portraits Of Old Well

Elderly ladies in . flowing
smocks, ; on their knees in "Al
lah's Almighty" poses, were yes
terday slapping water-color "por
traitsof Old East and West,
Gerrard and the Well with
broad, paddle brushes.
In the center of the scene was
the large huddle of Carolina in
structors,' townswomen, and stu
dents. In their midst was Water
Color Artist Eliot Q'Hara, trav
eling painter 'of renown.
The thrice-weekly class was
going on under Mr. O'Hara's
direction and aspiring painters
were dotted over the hallowed
soil about the Old Well ... one
here on the ground . . . another
there on a canvas stool, slap
ping and eyeing her work ...
another over by the teacher's
side . . . an empty stool with a
half finished "portrait" of " Old
West and her half closed win
dows lying unprotected on the
sidewalk.
Visitor Arrives
Visitors pushed about O'Hara.
A car drove up and a moustached
little man got out and left his
family to come over and see what
all the commotion was about.
His grey coat opened for his
hands to slip down into his pock

Smith moved around behind the
crowd; he was not drawing to
day. Freshman Playmaker Burr
Leach grinned and left the
crowd to mix his high-pitched
voice in a group of Old East

STUDENT-FACULTY DAY
EXHIBITS TO BE SHOWN
Exhibits for Student-Faculty
Day last February will be set up
again for the benefit of those
who will come to Chapel Hill
April 25-28 for the Boy Scout
jamboree and the Dogwood Fes
tival. A number of requests have
been received expressing a de
sire to see the sort of work that
is done in a university and the
members of the University Club
have volunteered to act as guides
and explain the exhibits.
Among many of the . 26 fra
ternities on the campus, the serio-comic
spectacle of "Hell
Week" is now in full swing. Pad
dling, however, if not on the de
cline, has at least fallen into dis
repute as part of the program
for would-be initiates. Five fra
ternities have abandoned it jr e
cently for one reason or an
other. Theta Kappa Nu freshmen,
for instance, protested against
Hell Week. They got away with
it because the upperclassmen in
the fraternity, through indiffer
ence or disdain, would not risk
a pitched battle to decide their
authority over the incoming
brothers.
More often the revulsion from
Hell Week is accomplished by a
chapter president who does not
believe in humiliation and pad
dling as prerequisites for mem
bership. The president of Phi
Alpha forbade horse-play, but
the members still insist on pad
dling. Delta Psi: Nix
Delta Psi has never had any
form of horseplay or violence
and maintains only what is call

The group made its Thursday
art tour to University Lake,
miles beyond Carrboro. Last
week' they spent their efforts in
purple, red ana3 yellow making
immortal (till they wash out
their art papers) the old Metho

It was while struggling over
this project that the Mickey
Mouse Sweatered " Little Negro
boy, making his bid for fame and
recognition in the world of art,
darted back and forth on his
knees across the church lawn, do
ing his darndest to "break into
the picture." His efforts finally
ended in his rising into prayer

of frantic gesturing ... It was no

had no use for him and the

HOLC COMPLAINS MONEY
COMES WITHOUT NAMES
Washington, April 13. (UP)
The Home Owners Loan Cor
poration tonight asked its cus
tomers to please send their
names in along with their money,
and quit being so modest.
More than a hundred thou
sand home owners have paid
bills anonymously, plunging
HOLC into a two million dollar
quandary, forcing its clerks to
turn into sleuths, and generally
messing up the government's
mortgage business.
Chi's have recently abandoned
stunts and paddling. Tau Epsi
lori Phi has also determined to
abolish many of "the obnoxious
features-of Hell Week. It does
not paddle its neophytes, and
they are only required to take
off their shoes while in the
house. They are made to "per
form" for the members, but
never publicly.
The five fraternities that are
not paddling their initiates this
year are Chi Psi, Theta Kappa
Nu, Sigma Chi, Tau Epsilon Phi
and Delta Psi.
Only one fraternity, Lambda
Chi Alpha, has a constitution
that forbids the ingeniously con
cocted "tasks of Hercules" that
make Hell Week a cross between
a hula-hula show and a public
auction. But Lambda Chi Al
pha, paradoxically enough, pad
dles its initiates.
Historic Tragedy
Is it so paradoxical, however?
The real danger in Hell Week
is not the stinging swipe of the
paddle. That is only , the dis
comfiture. The horse-play, ap
parently innocent in itself, can
lead by unexpected -turns to
tragedy. Back in 1912 Isaac

EUROPEAN CRISIS
SEEMSAYERTED
Nations, at Stresa Conference
Sign Pacts for Non-Aggression;
Mussolini Pleased.
Stresa, Italy, April 13.
(UP) Europe's faltering foot
steps took a definite turn away
from the abyss of war tonight.
It has been one of the most
hopeful international confer
ences that has been held on the
current crisis, for Britain,
France, and Italy agreed on
united action to avert war.
France Less Insistent
France moderated her demand
for the direct denunciation of
Germany by the League of Na
tions. Great Britain persuaded
Germany to enter the Eastern
European pact for non-aggression,
as distinguished from the
pact or pacts for mutual defense,
which Hitler rejected.
Italy obtained a conference
of the Danube countries to
draft a pact of mutual assistance
for central Europe, which satis
fies Mussolini.
As the conference prepared
for the concluding session, to
morrow, the statesmen of all
three countries were jubilant
and apparently in a mood to pull
together.
Welfare Board to Work
On Dormitory Plans
Meeting for the second time
this quarter, the Student Wel
fare Board will discuss dormi
tory plans for next year in the
Carolina Inn at 1 o'clock tomor
row. The board, according to Dean
Bradshaw, is to consider the
proposal for adopting the Ev
erett plan in the whole set of
lower quadrangle dormitories
next year.
Recommendation to the effect
that the proposal be adopted
has been sent to the board by
the Students in this year's Ev
erett experimental dormitory.
Staff Meeting
The entire editorial staff of the
Daily Tar Heeu meets today at
2 o'clock in the publication's of
fice in Graham Memorial.
Smithfield, whose brother, Os
car Rand, was a Rhodes Scholar
of the class of 1908, was being
made to dance on a barrel. His
stunt took place in Emerson
field. How could there be haz
ard in this innocent show put on
for the benefit of upperclass
men? Yet that did not prevent
20-year-old Rand from slipping
off the barrel as was natural
ly expected for the gratification
of his audience and cutting his
jugular vein on a broken bottle.
Before he could be given medical
assistance, he bled to death.
After the state had become
thoroughly aroused over this
needless tragedy, the 1913 Gen
eral Assembly passed an act-forbidding
hazing. Contrary to
popular conception, this law,
which' makes the offense a mis
demeanor, does not limit the
definition of hazing to indignity
or injury imposed upon' only a
"Fresh" or new man. It reads;
in part : : "It shall be unlawful
for any student or students in
any college or school - in this
state to engage in-what is known
as hazing," hazing " being de
fined as "to annoy by playing
abusive or ridiculous tricks upon
any student, to frighten, scold,

WARBASSE TALKS
HERE NEXT WEEK
Sociologist Will Lecture, Address
Seminars Under Auspices
Of Relations Institute.
Dr. J. B. Warbasse, surgeon,
sociologist and . president of the
Co-operative League of the
United States of America, will
make two addresses and speak
before a number of seminars
here next Thursday and Fri
day under the auspices of the
Human Relations Institute,. Mr.
Comer announced yesterday.
Dr. Warbasse, unusual in be
ing distinguished in the two
fields of surgery and sociology,
was on the official program of
the Institute last week but had
to cancel his engagement.
Retired in 1919
From 1891 to 1919 Dr. War
basse was active in his profes
sion, but retired in 1919 to de
vote all his time to social and
economic study.
Besides being president of the
Co-operative League, he is a
member of the consumers board
of NRA, a member of the cen
tral committee of the Interna
tional Co-operative Alliance,
and since 1913 a delegate to all
International Co-operative Con
gresses. Among his publications are
books on disease, surgery, medi

Fraternities Liable
That does not exempt frateri
ty "hazing," yet the practice per
sists, slightly diminished but
none the less vicious. Hazing
and horse-play are now submit
ted to voluntarily by would-be
initiates. The fraternities them
selves have set up a sort of cate
gorical imperative, and though
there is little likelihood of such
a stiuation, it is not inconceiv
ble that a student might prose
cute his fraternity brothers-under
the terms of the act of 1913.
Sigma Alpha' Epsilon hatched
out an ingenious form of discom
fiture for its freshmen during
Hell Week. Besides being com
pelled to wear underclothes
made out of guriny sacks, they
were all 17 chained together
around a small sapling, given
two knives among them, and told
to free themselves by cutting
down the tree.. Sigma Nu forced
its future brothers to drink a
quart of water with every meal.
Phi Gamma Delta made its
pledges eat beans' three times a
day on one occasion; bean soup,
bean salad, and just plain beans,
