They Saw Elsie Janis
Cancellation of Show Did not Dis.
courage This Chapel Hill Group

Gloom descended upon Mr..
and Mrs. P. L. Elmore, Miss
Margaret Ellis, and Charles
Norfleet when, having reached
Raleigh one night last week,
they learned that Elsie Janis's
show had been cancelled. It
looked as if there were nothing
to do but start back to Chapel
Hill. But Mr.. Norfleet was un-
willing.
1--WE came down here to see
Elsie janis" he said, "and l
think we had better see her-if
not in a theatre then somewhere
else"
Mr.. Elmore, being manager of
the Playmakers and therefore
accustomed to dealing with stage
celebrities, was nominated to
call the actress on the telephone
at the Sir Waiter hotel. Her
mother answered the ring, and
he informed her that he would
like to speak to Miss Janis.
"Who are your" asked the
mother.
"Why, l am P. l.. Elmore," p"
was the reply.
This did not seem to satisfy
the condolences parent; but
when Mr.. Elmore went on to
say that he had come from a
long distance to see Miss Janis,
and would be bitterly disap-
pointed to depart without a view
of her, he was told to come up.
He and Mrs. Elmore then as
cended on the elevator, and a
moment later they telephoned
down for Mr.. Norfleet and Miss
Ellis to follow. Miss Janis greet
ed the visitors cordially. There
followed a pleasant chat of an
|
hour or so and before the quar-
tet from Chapel Hill had gone
Miss Janis had invited them to
come down to Pinehurst and see
her show there toward the end
of this month. She said she
was greatly disappointed not to
appear in Raleigh. One of the
incidents of her trip from New
York was the loss of her shoes
when she changed from one
/ Pullman to another in Washing
ton at 6 o'clock in the morning.
On reaching Raleigh she had to
wear her mothers bedroom slip
pers between the train and the
hotel.
Mr.. Elmore is thinking of try
Ling to get her to come to give a
performance in Chapel Hill the
day after her appearance at
Pinehurst.

Archibald Henderson added to
his reputation for versatility.
He was left in charge of his
granddaughter, the year-old
Miss Ramsey of Salisbury. Fac
ed with the problem of keeping
her quiet and contented, he put
her on the bed, lay down beside
her, and read aloud the poems
of Francois Villon. She listen
ed attentively without a murmur
for two or three hours, and was
still happily absorbed when her
mother and grandmother came
home. One more instance of the
soothing effect of the sound of
reading.

The University Funds
Big Cut in Maintenance Budget; AL
lOwance for Buildings is $1,22O,000

Owing to errors in the figures
published in the state papers,
this community has been some
what confused about the recon-
mendations of the Budget in re-
gard to the University.
For the first year (1927-1928)
of the next biennium the request
of the University was for
$1,114,027. The Commission
recommends $850,000-a cut of
$264,O27.
For the second year (1928-
1920 the request was for
$1,159,558. The Commission
recommends $88O,00O-a cut of
$279,558.
The total cut which the Com
mission makes in the Univer-
sity's request for the two years
is, therefore, $543,585.
1t is this heavy cut in the
maintenance budget, rather than
the failure to grant money for
all the permanent improvements
asked for, that causes grave
concern to the University au-
thorities. The University has
had great difficulty in keeping
some of its most valuable fac
ulty members because of a sal
ary scale lower than that of
other institutions of the same
rank; and the greater part of
the cutting done by the Budget
Commission is in the item of
personal service"
Unless the Budget Commits
sion's recommendations are al
tered upward, the prospect is
that the University will be ser
iously embarrassed in two ways:
first, in that it will not be able
to match inducements which it's
professors receive elsewhere;
second, in that it will not be able
to add new members it needs for
its teaching force.
The Budget Commission rec
ommends the issue of bonds to
the amount of $1,220,000 for
permanent improvements at the
University, enumerated as fol-
lows: new library, reconstruc-
ton of New West, reconstruc-
tion of wing of Phillips hall, re-
construction of wing in Peabody
hall, a new dormitory, furniture
and fixtures, improvement of
grounds, and certain permanent
equipment. There is a provision
that no more than $500,O00 be
expended on the new library,
but possibly the legislature may
remove this limitation.

fascist organizations and the closing
down of the newspaper "Reschis," the
abolition of all laws dating from the
period of Kerensky and the Tsar;

The Central Bureau of the unions

them. A successful fascism and the
prevention of coup d'etat on Lithua-

social democracy bases itself on the

and the Second International have the

DANGER OF FASCIST COUP IN LATVIA; ARMED

The unsuccessful fascist putsch in

fascists are supported by the rich
peasants, the bankers and the house

The fascists are well organized.
The higher commands in the army are
on their side, particularly the supreme
commander Radsin.
The chief organizations of the
eascists are: The national club, Tewe-
vas Sargi and the Aisargi (self-de-
fense). The latter is a military or
ganization of rich peasants and has
10000 members, that is to say it is

leaders of the fascists is the EXPIRES

BRUSSELS, Feb. 16.-Demanding
that the civilized nations of the world
boycott Great Britain in event of a

composed of George Bernard Shaw,
Henri Barbusse and Fritjoff Nansen

Deputy Munyenburg startled todny's

A resolution passed by the exeeu-

the session.
Horrors of Dutch Rule.
Describing the horrible conditions
in the Dutch East Indies which have
given birth to the recent revolts de-
scribed as "bolshevistp in press
dispatches, Deputy Munyenburg made
plea for the appointment of COM
mittee which would investigate and
expose the savage exploitation of ma
tives by foreign capitalists.
Further evidence that the world
faces "white" rather than yellow
peril"--if perils are to be described in
racial rather than in social terms
was presented by Theodore Leasing,
the German philosopher, who declared
that the expansion Of the white race
was far more noticeable than that Of
the yellow. "The tremendous growth
Of the white race in hundred years

Leasing warned his audience that
only liberty for all people and social
equality could save the world from

slogan that he raised in his plea for
