Protest To Be Made
Of Hitler's Attack
On Jews, Religion
A mass meeting of the student
body to protest Adolf Hitler's
current attack on the Jews and
other religious groups has been
called for Memorial hall at 8
p. m. tonight by the local chap
ter of the American Student
union. , .
Professor E. J. Woodhouse of the
Political Science department will ad
dress the meeting, which is similar to
other demonstrations being- held on
campuses throughout the nation.
Resolutions will be introduced pro
testing the recent outburst , of bar
barism towards German and Austrian
Jews. These resolutions will be sent
to the German Embassy in Washing
ton where, it is hoped by the sponsors,
the growing number of protests will
have some effect on Hitler's policies.
The sponsors also hope that mount
ing protests against Hitler's anti
Semitic and anti-Catholic activity will
serve notice on American Nazi groups
that the people of the United States
do not approve of religious persecu
tion. The students on this campus are
asked by the organizations sponsoring
tonight's mass meeting to make known
their disapproval of the growing re
ligious persecution in Germany.

Clinic To Be Held

Moving " pictures of the Fordham
and VPI games will be shown at Coach
Ray "Wolf's football clinic to be held
tonight at 8:15 p. m. in Hill hall.
Wolf said yesterday that he would
cut his talk short in order to make
time for the pictures of both of the
games. Much student interest is ex
pected in the "moral victory" of the
Fordham game, and it is known that
those who did manage to see the VPI
game in spite of the rain saw it under
difficulties. It was again requested by the man

Greatest Opera Extant-
" Faust" Is Second Student
Entertainment
Story Of Scholar Who Sells
Soul To Devjl Will Be
Dramatized Here
If popularity and number of per
formances are a gauge, the data on
opera, compiled by the American
music critic John Rosenfield, proves
conclusively that Gounod's "Faust" is
the greatest opera extant.
"Faust", which will be presented by
Opera-On-Tour, November 22, as the
second student entertainment of the
quarter, was adopted from the story
of Dr. Faustus, by Goethe. It drama
tizes the story of the scholar, Faust,
who, disgusted with studying sells his
soul to the devil, Mephistopheles, in
reutrn for "pleasures", "mistresses",
"caresses", "youth".
THE DEVIL'S INFLUENCE
Mephistopheles, to fulfill his half
of the agreement, shows Faustus the
beautiful, virtuous maiden, Mar
guerite. Faustus with the aid of the
devil succeeds in winning the love of
Marguerite; and then, again under
the influence of the devil, he deserts
her.
Marguerite, overcome with dispair,
kills her child, and is placed in prison.
Faust and the devil come to the prison
to rescue her, but the heavens open
and angels descend to - rescue Mar
guerite's soul from Mephistopheles.
WELL-KNOWN SCENES
The opera is filled with well-known
scenes and arias. The garden scene,
in which Marguerite discovers the
box of jewels that Mephistopheles and
Faust have given her and in which she
sings the familiar "Jewel Song"; the
scene at the church, in which the
. devil attempts ' to keep Marguerite
from praying; and the prison scene

Student Council Issues Statement
Recent discourtesy by a group of
University students to a guest
speaker of the University brought
forth the following statement from
the Student Council:
While the council recognhea the
right of every student to express
his opinions and thoughts in per
fect freedom, it maintains that
each student has a responsibility of
courtesy .toward guest speakers.
Any discourtesy shown a speaker
who is the guest of the University
or any of the organizations reflects
upon the entire student body. Sach
discourtesy is not in keeping with
Class Voting Suggestions Are
Passed On By Student Council;
Sophs Decide To Exhibit Coeds
Second Year Men
To Assemble At
10:30 Tomorrow
Yesterday announcement was made
by the student council concerning new
suggestions passed by the organization
on class budgets. It has been noted in
the past that the classes, other than
the freshman, have had considerable
trouble in obtaining a quorum neces
sary to pass the budget. For this rea
son the council passed suggestions to
simplify the voting.
In the future, the budgets, as sub
mitted to classes for approval, will be
drawn up by the respective class exe
cutive committee and will be submit
ted to the Daily Tab Heel who will
publish this in its entirety for three
consecutive days. After these three
printings, a meeting of the class will
be held at Memorial halL The execu
tive committee will hear any sugges
tions for changes at this meeting, and
will act on these suggestions accord
ing to their own judgement. '
FINAL-FORM OF BUDGET r v
When the final form of the budget
has been devised, reply cards will be
sent to each member of the class with
the two statements "I approve of the
class budget" and "I do not approve
of the Class budget." The statement
with which the individual agrees de
sire, will be checked, then, and the
eard returned to the executive com
mittee. Finally, the vote will be' tal
lied if a sufficient number of cards
are returned. A majority of the class
must approve. This method is to be
used at the discretion of the class
executive committee.
This action will supposedly take
care of much of the trouble, money,
and uncertainty on the budget votes.
Today in this issue of the Daily Tar
Heel appears the budget of the senior
class, who has approved the sugges
tion of the student council. N
GLEE CLUB WILL
PRESENTCONCERT
Program Is In Hill
Hall Saturday Night
The Men's Glee, club, under the di
rection of Professor John E. Toms,
will present its annual fall concert in
Hill Music hall"' Saturday night at
8:30.
As a special attraction, the glee
club will, feature Thomas Edwards,
noted tenor soloist, who will sing two
groups of songs. After his graduation
from the Oberlin conservatory, Ed
wards served as tenor soloist in one

voices, the glee club will include on

"The Green Eyed Dragon." The iden
tical program will be presented by the

Professor Toms stated that this
year's organization is larger and bet
ter balanced than those of the past
few seasons and he adds, "We are ex
pecting a large crowd Saturday night
and we feel confident that with the
assistance of Mr. Edwards the con
cert should be one of the most suc
cessful the group has given in Chapel
Hill."

the spirit of gentlemanly behavior
which every Carolina student takes
upon himself when entering the
University. It cannot be tolerated.
There is always a proper time for
the expression of opinion, but due
respect for guests' of the Univer
sity must be maintained through
out their stay on the campus. The
council hopes that in the future
speakers will be treated with cour
tesy becoming the students of the
University of North Carolina. Any
further impolite or discourteous
acts must be severely dealt with. .

Future Budgets
To Be Drawn Up
And Published
Ignoring a system for budget pass
ing branded by sophomore -class
leaders as "new and expensive" as
set up by the student council Tues
day night, the sophomore executive
class committee met the same eve
ning and decided to use coed spon
sors in an attempt to get a majority
of second year men to approve its
suggested financing outline for the
school year at its meeting tomorrow
morning at 10:30 in Memorial hall.
In addition to presenting the cus
tomary campus orchestra at a class
meeting, 20 University coeds will be
exhibited on the stage of Memorial
hall, their presence is expected to re
sult logically in a large attendance
of male Carolina students.
The beauties who will supplement
the music of Freddie Johnson and his
orchestra are: Janet Lawrence, Molly
iUbritton, - AnavNash, : Virginia E3b
ler, Carolyn Miller, Betty Norcross,
Peggy Sabine, Jane Hunter, Sara
"B" Dalton, Merriam Durrett, Lois
Barnes, Lucy Bell Eckles, Lucy Eas
ley, Bobby Winton, Fran Caldwell,
Jerry Meek, Nell Mclntyre, Lib War
ren, Altajane Holden, and Louise
Jordan.
The following statement was is
sued jointly by Skipper Bowles, class
president, and Chunk Jenkins, chair
man of the sophomore executive com
mittee: "It seems that a class can't
get a quorum without having apples
as bait. Instead of giving you sopho
mores a stomachful, we'll give you
an eyeful and an earful. We sincerely
hope that enough members of our
class will appear to pass the budget
in Memorial hall tomorrow morning
as all negotiations for Yackety-Yack
space and our spring dance will
necessarily be held up lacking a ma
jority of the class to consider and
pass the finance plan."
MISSFONTANNE
TALKS INLOUNGE
War Nurse Asks For
Help For Loyalists
Miss Dorothy Fontanne, formerly
with the Rockefeller Institute in New
York and helper of Dr. Alexis Car
rel, came here yesterday with sound
films and an accompanying talk from
her work in the mobile hospital units
of Loyalist Spain to plead the cause
of the Loyalists and democracy in
Spain.
These films were presented in an
effort to demonstrate the worthiness
and timeliness of her work to aid the
Loyalist cause. Chief object of her
visit here and at other institutions
is to bring about some united action
by this country which would serve to
put an end to the Spanish conflict.
This, she contends, could be effec
tively brought about by the lifting
of the United States embargo and by
abolishment of the non-intervention
committee which prevent the sale of
munitions and other supplies to Spain.
UNDERLYING PURPOSE
It is her hope that the talks and
pictures which she shows will influ
ence students and citizens to make
an appeal to the state department
concerning this matter. She explains
how, by lifting of the embargo," the
war may be stopped.
At present the rebels, backed by
Hitler and Mussolini, are receiving

Bill Gilliam Calls
Young GOPMeeting
President Bill Gilliam of the Young
Republican club has called for a
special , meeting of the young GOP
tonight at 7 o'clock in the Grail room
of the Graham Memorial. He urges
every member and other interested
Republicans to be present.
The purpose of the meeting will be
to make plans for obtaining Thomas
E. Dewey, district attorney of New
York county, to speak on the campus
in the near future. Dewey, recently
defeated , Republican candidate for
governor of New York state by a
small majority, is now reported to be
vacationing in Virginia.
Dewey is sjill mentioned as a pos
sible presidential candidate despite his
defeat in the recent election. Presi
dent Gilliam feels that with the com
ing of President Roosevelt to the
campus, that much more interest
would be created if Dewey also could
be obtained.

A committee appointed by
Jim Joyner, chairman of the
Graham Memorial board of di
rectors, will make its report at
2 o'clock today on a proposal to
turn the banquet hall on the

the board, but the report of the
committee will be favorable it
was revealed yesterday by Bob
Magill, director of Graham
Memorial and head of the report
ing committee.
Arbitarily called a fnight club" the
scheme is intended to provide an en
tertainment center of the kind not to
be found anywhere else on the cam
pus. It is proposed that a collegiate
theme be followed in decorations and
entertainment. Indirect lighting, chair
covers, table lamps, and murals will
contribute to create an atmosphere
where fellows may bring their dates
for an evening of dancing at a nom
inal charge. A seventy-five cent mini
mum is proposed.

Majority Of "Baby Deans
Believe Laziness Cause Of
Numerous Absences
By EDITH GUTTERMAN
Eleven freshman advisers, asked
for statistics concerning class cuts,
said that freshmen do not cut
classes, sophomores cut more than
any other group, and juniors and
seniors, perhaps inured to instruc
tors and instruction, or perhaps hav
ing the advantage of superior expe
rience, are not serious offenders;
The majority of the advisers, when
asked why students cut, replied,
"Laziness!" For instance, Adviser
Philipps showed how laziness affect
ed 8:30 class cuts. The College Loafer
(credit Adviser Sanders for the
name) was blamed by several for
coming to college as he would to a
country club, equipped with golf
clubs, tennis racquets, the. latest
slang, clothes, and dance steps, spend
ing his family's money, and deriving
little of value from four (or five)
years at college. Said Sanders, "He
should be toting bricks or digging
ditches." In direct contrast to these
various opinions, however, was Dean
Spruill's question to his inquisitioner,
"What is laziness?"
One or two advisers blamed over
cutting on indifference. English Pro
fessor Wells simply said, "Students
spend time on what they are inter
