What Is a Party:?

Lent is here-it began with
Ash Wednesday, day before yes
terday-and once more the i'm
portant question arises: What
is a party?
Faithful observers do not at
tend bridge parties during the
forty days of Lent; but if they
are not too exact in their defini-
tions they need not put the
devils picture-books away alto
gether.
l am informed by persons
qualified to speak with authority
that three tables of bridge con-
stitute aparty but that two
tables do not. Therefore Lenten
bridge where there are only two
tables is permissible; for it is
parties, not bridge, that should
be eschewed.
These distinctions are of con-
Germ only to Episcopalians here,
for the people Of other Protes-
tant denominations do not OBJ
serve Lent. At least, most Of
them do not. My Century Die
tionary says that the Lenten
fast is observed "as obligatory"
by the Orthodox Greek, Roman
Catholic, and Epis cop a |
churches, land as profitable
exercise by members of other
churches" | do not know
exactly what is meant by pro
titable exercise" Perhaps the
meaning is spiritual profit, but
it is plausible to assume that the
abstention from social activi-
ties Tor forty days might also De
financially profitable. will con-
suit James M. Bell, A. S. Wheel
er, and others of my Presby-
terian friends and ask them if
they make it practice to OBJ
serve Lent as profitable exer-
else"
Mrs. w. S. Bernard and Mrs.
W. M. Dey, both of whom OBJ
serve Lent, got just under the
wire Tuesday night with a big
bridge party at the Gorgon )

The Aldermen and heTown Affairs

About a dozen citizens came to
last weeks meeting of the board
Of aldermen because their inter-
est had been aroused by a pro-
posal to amend the Chapel Hill
town charter so as to permit the
aldermen to appoint the mayor
town manager. The aldermen
disclaim any present intention
to take advantage of this per-
missive amendment, and so it is
still not quite clear why the
change was ever proposed.
In any event, the charter
that is to say, the law-requires
that the aldermen shall select a
town manager for merit only,
and if they obey the law all will
be well.
| have already advanced some
observations upon this matter,
and they need not be repeated.
What | have in mind now is the
fact that the presence of the
citizens at the meeting last week
was an exceptional event. The
board meetings are always pub
lie, but ordinarily the people of
the village have SO little interest
in the municipal affairs that no.
body attends. One hears occa-
sional grumbling about this or
that department of the town
government-the police, the
health department, the street
maintenance fOrce-but it would
be much more to the point if
The Chapel Hill weekly., 1931-02-20

those who have complaints to
make would go to the board
meetings and put their COM
plants on record.
Now and then some friend
draws me over to the curb, or
off to a corner of the post-office
lobby, and says: "You ought to
write an editorial on this'-and
proceeds to present an opinion
he would like to see published.
Sometimes when l reply that l
would be glad to publish a signed
letter from him, setting forth his
views in full, my friend backs
off and says he doesn't believe
he cares to get into print" on
the subject. In short, he wants
me to express his opinion over

views. On the contrary, | like

zens and learn what they are
thinking about public. questions.
But it occurs to me that it
might not be a bad idea for per-
sons who have either praise or
censure for the town adminis-
tration to present their views in
the form of letters-t 1.-The editor.

VOTE INDICATES
INCREASED FUND
FOR UNIVERSITY
Committee Approves Request
of President Graham
for $875,OOO
NEWS CHEERS COMMUNITY

The gloom that had been en-
veloping Chapel Hill was dis
pelled-in part, at least-by the
news that came out of Raleigh
Tuesday morning. The news
papers chronicled the fact that
on the day before the joint SEN
ate and house appropriation
committee had voted, by more
than two to one, to grant the
University the annual appro-
priation of $875,OOO requested
by President Graham.
This is not absolute assur-
ance, of course, that the Uni
versity will receive that amount,
The committee still has to vote
upon the state budget as a
whole, and then it's recon-
mendations have to 60 before
the legislature. But the decisive
stand taken by the committee
does justify the hope that the
final figure will be far above the
ruinOus recommendation of the
budget commission.
The legislature yof two years
ago voted 1915, 900 as Univer-
sity maintenance fund for the
present fiscal year of l930-1931.
But the budget bureau, acting
upon the authority conferred
upon it by law, decreed a 20 per
cent cut to 100000. Then the
budget commission recommend
ed a further cut of $4,000, re-
ducing the fund to $573,6OO.
The committees vote this
week was without doubt due
largely to President Graham s
statement at the hearing on the
29th of January. He presented
an array Of facts and figures
which showed that the Univer-
sity would be seriously crippled
by the proposed reduction. He
told Of the members of the fac
ulty who had already been
drawn away by offers of far bet
ter salaries elsewhere, and he
made it plain that the institu-
ton would suffer many more
such losses if the threatened
salary cut were put into effect.

TO
HAVE A PICTURE
IN APRIL EXHIBIT
Celebrated Artists Painting Of
Carolina Mountains to
Be Shown Here
IN THE MUSIC BUILDING

Elliott Daingerfield, one of
Americas most celebrated
artists, will send painting Of
the North Carolina mountain
country to the exhibit of the
North Carolina Association of
Professional Artists in Chapel
Hill in April.
While Mr.. Daingerfield is not
native of this state-he was
born in Virginia-he came to
Fayetteville when he was two
years old and spent his youth
there. In the summer for many
years he taught a painting class
in his studio at Blowing Rock.
His first wife, Roberta Strange
French. was from Wilmington.
When a young man he studied
drawing and painting under
private tutors in New York and
at the Art Students League.
Most of the time since then New
York has been his chief home.
In a letter he says that he is
deeply interested in the develop
ment of art in North Carolina
and looks forward with pleasure
to having one Of his creations at
the April exhibit.
Mr.. Daingerfield was the
mural decorator of the Lady
Chapel in the Church of st.
Mary the Virgin in New York.
Among his most notable paint
ings are Madonna and Child"
Tin the Haley Fiske collection),
"Slumbering Fog" lin the
Metropolitan Museum of ArD,
and ''The Story Of the Madon-
na," which won a prize at the
National Academy's exhibit in
1902. His Madonna of the
Hills" is in the church at Blow
ing Rock.
Another North Carolinian in
New York who is expected to be
represented at the exhibit here
is Charles Baskerville.
The exhibit, which is to open
April % and continue for about
a week, will be held in the Uni
versity's music building. Ar
rangements are already being
made for the hanging of the pic
lures. The National Associa-
ton of College Publicity Agents
is to have its convention here to-
ward the end of April and will
probably have one of it's social
gatherings at the exhibit.

A Bright Spring Day
Brilliant Sun and Blooming Flowers
Made Yesterday Cheerful

The calendar says it is still
February, but yesterday was a
spring day The sun shone
bright, and the air was warm.
People went about without over
coats; students sat on the stone
walls and on the dormitOry
steps; and tennis and other out
door sports were in full swing.
Gardens are gay with color.
There are beds of daffodils; the
japonica bushes make great red
splashes against the background
of budding greenery; winter
jasmine falls in blossoming
tangles over the walls; and the
fragrance of winter honey
suckle is waited across yards
and through open doors by the
gentle breeze.
Women, and few men, are
busy with gardening, and neigh
bors visit one another bearing
bouquets. The annual inter-
change of plants has begun. The
ears of non-gardening husbands
are once more subjected to the
seasonal bombardment of flower
names

CHICAGO, Jan. l6.-One Of the
three unbeaten teams In the Big
Ten basketball race will fall out OF
the perfect rating class Saturday
when Minnesota invades Chicago's
cart.
The two rivals, who share TOP
ranking with Northwestern, appear
evenly matched and except for the
advantage that the home floor gives
Chicago, there is little basis for
choosing between them.
Both Minnesota and Chicago
showed unexpected class in winning
their opening conference games,
Chicago. with its best team in years,
took a % to 81 overtime victory over
Indiana while Minnesota downed
Iowa with four points to spare.
With Northwestern idle, Satur-
days remaining games include only
beaten teams. However, with the
opening week of competition indi-
eating that none of the quintets
can be counted out of the race,
coaches are predicting that a record
of nine wins and three defeats will
be good enough to win the cham
pionship.
Illinois already has three defeats,
while Wisconsin and Purdue have
two each, but Michigan, Ohio State,
Iowa and Indiana are well UP with
one loss each.
Michigan and Ohio State meet
Saturday In a contest which is ex-
pected TO provide the Buckeyes with
a second defeat. Indiana is favored
to hand Illinois a fourth consecu-
tive setback and Wisconsin will at
tempt to climb back into the title
fight by defeating Iowa.
