KOCH WILL READ
CHRISTMAS CAROL
SUNDAY NIGHT
Community Sing
To Precede Annual
Presentation
Dr. Frederick H. Koch will1 read
Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" for the
177th time Sunday night at 8:30 in
Memorial hall. In.addition to the one
man drama, Dr. Sherman Smith of the
chemistry department, accompanied by
a brass choir and the organ, will, lead
a community sing for a half an hour
preceding the reading.
Koch first began his reading of the
"Carol'' some thirty-five years ago
when he accepted an invitation to read
the Dickens story at the University
of North Dakota where he was teach
ing. Word of this performance spread
quickly and soon he was accepting in
vitations to bring the Christmas story
to many Dakota towns. On one oc
casion he was forced to ride a freight
train to reach a performance in a small
town, cut off from all others means of
transportation by a blizzard.
When Dr. Koch came to the Uni
versity in 1918, he brought the "Carol"
tradition with him and again the fame
of his performance spread and the
invitations began to pour in. Since he
has been at Carolina he has read the
famous story in nearly every town and
city in North Carolina and has pre
sented his reading four times in New
York City's Town Hall.
Dr. Koch opened his season this
year at Winthrop college in Rock Hill,
S. C. on December 2. During the next
two weeks he will appear in Edenton,
New Bern, Elizabehtown, Fairmont,
Laurinburg, Rockingham, Raleigh,
Wadesboro, Durham,' Spring Hope, and
Warrenton. fie will close the season
with a reading in Ayden on December
22.

Holiday Date
Is Advanced
To February 6
Barbara Liscomb and Tom Stanback
were appointed co-chairmen of the ar
rangements committee for the annual
Student-Faculty day to be held Feb
ruary 6, it was announced yesterday
by John Bonner, president of the
YMCA. The appointments were made
by Bonner and Louise Jordan, presi
dent of the YWCA.
Miss Liscomb is a senior and a mem
ber of Pi Phi sorority. ' Stanback is
also a senior, member of Sigma Nu
fraternity, treasurer of the YMCA,
and former publications union board
member.
A committee of 40 students will
meet tomorrow morning at 10 :30 in the
YWCA room to tender suggestions for
the Student-Faculty day program. A
tentative plan will be drawn up and
submitted for approval to Administra
tive Dean R. B. House who will also
suggest members of the faculty to be
placed on the arrangements committee.
The final selection is in the hands of
the co-chairmen.
DATE ADVANCED
Date for the celebration was chosen
on Wednesday by the campus affairs
committee of the YMCA and YWCA.
Because of the crowded spring quar
ter it was moved up to early February
instead of remaining in the spring
where the annual holiday was placed
in 1937 and 1938.
The purpose of setting aside one day
a year for Student-Faculty day is to
enable the two branches of the Univer
sity to come in closer contact with each
other and to foster a more mutual un
derstanding. A feature is that no
classes will be held.

and a medal will be awarded the com

late last night from a booth at Harry's
that because of lack of time to get the
committee that he announced Wednes
day night together, he had decided to
get two coeds to serve with him on the
committee. He added "Oh boy," and
went to sleep smilingly contemplating
the pleasures to be expected on the
day of the "Tournament of Cue Balls."

No Annual Picture
Unless Fee Paid,
Says Editor Lynch
"Those third-year students who
have had their pictures taken for the
junior section of the Yackety Yack
but have not paid the necessary fees
are requested to come by the Yack
ety Yack office between 2 and 6 o'clock
this afternoon and either pay or make
arrangements to pay, or their photo
graphs will be left out of the yearbook
entirely. Lack of payment is probably
due to a misunderstanding that can be
cleared up in a few minutes, but at
any rate, they'd better see about it
today or else," Editor Jack Lynch
said yesterday.

Southern Conference Officials
Open Parley In Roanoke Today
By SHELLEY ROLFE
Snatching of freshman athletes will
be the main topic of conversation, po
lite or otherwise, at the annual South
ern conference meeting which begins
a two-day stand at Roanoke today.
Troubled and worried by the prac
tice of some larger colleges stealing
promising freshmen away from the
smaller schools, Clemson and Furman
have proposed two additions to the
conference constitution that would do
away with the practice by simply mak
ing any student who had previously
matriculated at a loop school ineligi
ble for athletics at any other college in
the conference.
The freshman problem will be the
only controversial issue the delegates
will have to deal with this year. There
is no subsidization squable such as
there has been the past few winters
and no schools have given indication
of resigning from the conference.
NEW PROPOSAL
The first Furman-Clemson pro
posal would add a paragraph to Ar
ticle seven, rule six of the conference
by-laws. At present the article says
a student who has played a sport at
one college cannot transfer to a con

Meetings 'Useless';
$6,000 Remains Idle
In a final effort to pass the senior
class budget, President Benny Hunter
announced last night that the student
council had agreed to permit balloting
by postcards after the second class
meeting yesterday failed by 80 votes
to obtain the necessary quorum of 300.
Hunter said that student lethargy
had rendered it definitely useless to
plan other class meetings, and that if
enough postcard ballots are not turned
in, seniors would have no section in
the Yackety Yack, no senior week, and
no junior-senior dance.
"This is our last move," said Hunter.
"If the class doesn't want to be a
class, it will have to suffer the con
sequences. e
"The 6,CC0 in class fees now idle
cannot be spent until a budget is
passed, and cannot be refunded to stu
dents until a majority vote in favor of
such a refund," Hunter added.
TWO MEETINGS
The class has attempted- at two
meetings to secure a quorum of 300
votes under secret balloting rules re
cently put in effect by the student
council. The new budget method adopt
ed by the council last night was in
tended as a last resort after both
meetings failed.
President Hunter said last night he
has not yet decided when the postcard
ballots would be issued.
The postcards will contain copies of
class japprojriationsj: or various items
during the year. Seniors will study
these appropriations and then check
whether or not they are favorable. A
pledge will be required on each card
before mailing it back to class officers.
This method will be something new
in the perennial problem of passing
class budgets a problem that time
and time again has threatened classes
with a complete loss of all class func
tions. Wayne County Alumni
Will Hold Banquet
University alumni of Wayne county
will hold their annual winter banquet
next Thursday evening in Goldsboro,
Lionel S. Weil, president of the Car
olina alumni of that county, announced
yesterday.
A record crowd is expected at the
meeting and the program will feature
a question-and-answer discussion, de
signed, to tell the alumni about various
phases of teaching and research at
Chapel Hill. Maryon Saunders, sec
retary of the alumni association of the
University, will lead a panel discussion
of several members of the University
faculty.
ference school and play the same sport.
The Furman-Clemson change adds:
"No student who matriculates at a
Southern conference institution shall
be eligible to participate in athletics
jat any Southern conference institu
tion." The second would delete paragraph
two of article seven, rule eight which
reads: No freshman who has been
a student at any other college shall be
eligible to compete on a freshman team
of a Southern conference institution."
The following would be substituted in
its place: "No student who matricu
lates at a Southern conference insti
tution shall be eligible to participate
in athletics at any other Southern con
ference institution."
The two proposals are practically
the same and they all add up to one
thing: It wilj not pay one conference
school to attempt to wean away fresh
man from another.
ADDITIONAL PROPOSAL
Richmond university proposes an ad
dition to article seven, rule seven which
is the . five-year eligibility clause.
