RUSSIAN SINGERS APPEAR TONIGHT r - -. v Original Symphonic Choir Will Present Program on Student Entertainment Series. The Russian Symphonic Choir, which will sing in Memorial hall at 8:30 tonight under the direc- ion of Basile Kibalchich, is cred ited with , revolutionizing the American idea of choral singing. It is a choir built up, not along he ordinary lines of an ensem ble of voices, but on the prin ciple of a symphony orchestra. Kibalchich has assembled 20 voices with the technique of or ganizing an instrumental ensem ble. Adapt Classics Director Kibalchich will intro duce a new kind of choral music, never before heard on such a program. In addition to church music and folk songs, the choir will offer arrangements of popu lar light classics, originally writ ten f or the piano. These ar rangements have been made pos sible by the director's original ideas applied to choral singing and thus a "Prelude" by Chopin or a "Song without Words" by Schumann finds a place on a choral program. The Russian Symphonic Choir will include in its program a number of compositions which are considered classic, but are popular in appeal. "The Volga Boatman," one of the world's best known folk songs, is on the program. Among other attrac tions are . .several Bohemian chants, which this unique com pany will render. , Psychologists Examine High School Tests Find Nine-Month State Schools Average Higher Than Others. Many thousand standard achievement tests have recently been sent to high schools over the state through the North Car olina College Conference. Over 20,000 high school seniors have taken these tests, and the results are now being examined. These tests provide an excel lent sampling of the North Caro lina high school average, accord ing to Dr. A. M. "Jordan of the college conference. The scholastic standing of schools located in widely differ ing environments may be easily determined. The nine high schools in the state that have been able to retain the nine month school year have shown a much higher standing than the schools with the shorter terms. The Dialectic Senate will meet at 7 o'clock tonight in Old West Bills for discussion are: Resolved, that a law be en acted in the state legislature providing for the construc tion of a lethal gas chamber in the state prison at Ral eigh in the place of the elec tric .chair ; Resolved, that .Death .Row in the. state prison be abolished. Senators Henderson and Weaver will lead discussion groups on the lethal gas chamber bill. There will be a special meeting of the ways , and means committee after the meeting, which will adjourn in time for the. members to attend the Student En tertainment program. . Di Senate Students Okay Birth Control, Razz Prohibition In Survey Of Attitudes ' -O ' Carolina Campus, Alleged Hot-Bed of Radicals, Registers Only Slightly Liberal on Political and Social Questions. o . The campus of the University of North Carolina, long spoken of as a hot-beid of radicalism, appears through a "Social and Political Attitude" survey made by Virgil Lee of, the psychology department to lean only slight ly in the direction of liberalism. This survey, made last spring among 214 representative stu dents, includes questions of eco nomic, political, social, sex, ra cial, and religious significance. From this it was possible to de termine that the average Caro lina student would have taken a neutral stand on 12. of the 36 questions, conservative on nine, reactionary on two, liberal on 11, arid radical on only two questions. In comparison with two other schools that have recently con ducted a similar survey, the Uni versity takes a rather conspicu ous position. As would be ex pected, it was shown to be more liberal , than N. C. State but only slightly so. When 'measured by the standard of New York Uni versity it seems a stronghold of hide-bound Toryism. Co-ed Elections Run-off elections for pres ident and secretary-treasurer of the Woman's Athletic Association will be conduct ed between the hours of 9 a. m. and 5 p. m. tomorrow. Candidates for president are Frances Caffey, Kather ine Quigley; for secretary treasurer, Sally Page, Jean Van Deusen. NEW BONUS BILL SUITS PRESIDENT Harrison Says Roosevelt Would Sign His Compromise. Washington, April. 15. (UP) President Roosevelt has agreed to compromise with the Congress soldier bonus issue and would sign the bill which Chairman Pat Harrison (D., Miss.), of the Senate finance committee wiU introduce tomor row, Harrison said tonight. He declined to discuss the de tails of the measure, however. It was reported that its essential provisions include, .first, the dating of adjusted service certi ficates so that they would ma ture in 1938 instead of 1945; second, the issuance of federal negotiable bonds to veterans de siring cash certificates immedi ately; third, the declaration of a Congressional policy that no pensions be provided to World War veterans. Art Classes The life classes of Miss Lena Turtle's are studio will begin tomorrow evening in Peabody hall. These classes will meet every week at this time and will last from 7:30 to 9:30 p. m. Those interested should see Miss Tuttle before tomorrow night. Phi Assembly The Phi Assembly will meet at 7 :15 tonight in New .East. Bills to be discussed are: Re solved, that wagons should be prohibited from using state highways; and Resolved, that the south adopt the system of agrarianism. It is interesting to note the type of questions in which the students showed marked devia tion from the neutral answer. Concerning the matter of polit ical parties, the average student took a liberal stand and indicat ed that he believed, "it is the duty of every citizen to vote upon issues as. they arise irres pective of party affiliation." The heart of Miss Sanger would swell with satisfaction to learn that the Carolina students' attitude was liberal when he an swered the question of birth control. He believes that the government should either "adept an attitude of complete laissez f aire and remove all present re strictions or laws in regard to contraceptive information," or else supply people with informa tion concerning birth control. The students contend that so cial improvement can and should be made1 in our society. They think prohibition has been whol ly unsuccessful. They were de cidedly liberal in their attitude toward the question on the (Continued on page two) SCOtfTS TO HAVE CAMPOREEHERE "Carolina to Be on Review, Too," Says Frank Abernethy Urg ing Student Co-operation. Fourteen or fifteen hundred Boy Scouts in full regalia will gather here April 25 to 28 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of scouting, Professor Harold D. Meyer of the sociology de partment told freshmen at as sembly yesterday. ' They will camp at Emerson stadium and in nearby woods. AH activities will be at Kenan stadium. Chief Scout Execu tive James E. West will attend the celebration. Talks, Camp-Building Among the activities will be camp-fire discussions and the building of camps adapted to all conditions, including those of the seashore. Students are asked to take part and help entertain the Scouts' activities by giving them information, and by helping them to become acquainted with the campus. "We are to be on review as much as these Boy Scouts are," stated Student Body . President Frank Abernethy. "In a subtle way we should make them want to come here when they graduate from high school or prep school." Support Pledged University Clubber Frank Willingnam pledged that club's co-operation and Fraternity Council Head Harold Bennett pledged the co-operaon of the fraternities in this event." Dean Bradshaw gave reasons why students come to Chapel Hill according to a survey made several years ago. Three times as many students are interested in its scholastic rating as in its athletic rating. FERA Checks FERA payroll checks for the month of March are now ready for distribution at the business office in South build ing. All who have not al ready received their checks are requested to do so to-day. EVERETT SYSTEM MY BE ADOPTED BY OTHER DORMS Student Welfare Board Approves Suggestion to Extend Plan to ? Entire Lower Quadrangle EVERETT BOYS APPROVE After a year's successful trial, the Everett dormitory plan may be extended next year to other campus rooming houses, yester day's developments bring out. The Student Welfare Board unanimously approved the rec ommendation drawn up by pres ent Everett inmates that the plan be extended to include the three other dormitories in the lower quadrangle: Aycoek, Gra ham, and Lewis. , Action Expected Soon Tesident uranam has re ceived the report of the board, and is expected to act on the recommendation before May 1, when applications! for rooms next year will begin coming in. Anxious about the reaction of the plan on Everett boys, Dean Bradshaw had a questionnaire circulated among them about three weeks ago inquiring about the degree of quiet in the dor mitory, the cleanliness and gen eral atmosphere, complaints, suggested improvements and changes, efficacy of placing ad visors in the dormitory, the dif ferences between Everett and other dorms, and the advisabili ty of extending the plan. Plan Upheld Answers to this question naire reflected a decidedly fav-, orable reaction to the plan. The questionnaire was followed up by a smoker where the recom mendation was formulated. Besides the questionnaire, the board also considered in making their decision two other dean of students' office findings that the Everett plan has caused lit tle demonstrated improvement in scholarship, yet has improv ed stability of residence. During the year, Mayne Al bright has acted as manager of Everett and has had as advisers, two to each floor, Emmet Wil lis, Tom Leath, Tom Hawthorne, Ed Waldrop, Ed McRae, and H. G. Connor.
