St If t -i J- it Lnil 1 Wli L1 GET THE SPIRIT OF CAROLINA WHERE'S THE UNIV. MAGAZINE? OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA Volume XXVII. CHAPEL HILL, N. C, FRIDAY, NOV. 22, 1918 Number 8 21 OIL HON. VICTORS. BRYANT MAKES INSPIRING TALK WELL KNOWN LAWYER SPOKE TO THE S. A. T. C. UNIT THURSDAY NIGHT LATE DR. GRAHAM IS EULOGIZED Cause for Thanksgiving that Our Part in World Conflict Was Played so Gloriously At the Thursday night chapel meet ing Hon. V. S. Bryant, of Durham, gave an eloquent and inspiring talk to the students. Mr. Bryant is favorably known through this and other states as a lawyer of the first rank and a forceful speaker, and, as such, as Dean Stacy remarked, does not need any in troduction to the students of this in stitution. "I take this opportunity," said Mr. Bryant, "to extend the sympathies felt Dy ine people 01 me siaie over the death of President Graham. The state probably had not recognized all his abilities, but his intimates and those allied, with him in his work knew him as an exceptional man, a great man, possessing statesman like qualities. A short while before our country cast its lot with the Allied cause, he pointed out the danger of such a step disorganizing the institu tions of learning of the country. He feared a repetition of the conditions that existed during and immediately after the Civil War at the University. This danger came to naught only by the institution of the S. A. T. C. and the unhoped-for ending of the war. "There is probably a feeling in some of you that did not exist a week ago a feeling of discontent because you could not go to the front or to an officers' training camp where your ambitions led you. My opinion is that you have been equally as faithful to duty to have stayed here as if you had been able to have realized your ambition.- It could be as much the part of the slacker to leave as it would be for him who failed to go when duty called him. Marshal Foch would not have done his dutv had he erone to the point of ' danger and not to the point of , safety where the good 01 nations de manded that he go. When the gov ernment decided that the student was of more value to the government by remaining in school and learning as much of military tactics there as the school permitted, it was entirely his duty to stay. If the conscience of anyone of you hurts you, put aside that feeling of remorse for the people of the state do not point an accusing finger at you. : "We rejoice that the great strife is a matter of history row, that our young men will soon be welcomed back to engage in the pursuits of peace operations. The . United States has as much right to rejoice over how the war was brough to a close as the way in which it ended. No selfish desires of territorial or monetary gains im pelled us to enter the war; but when we discovered that the Imperial Ger man government intended to force its will on the world and to destroy civili zation if it should be necessary to accomplish this then the government of the United States proclaimed its championship of the democratic free- ; dom of the world, in tnis way we oiancu uui oil in Luc; uxvm-v v- " zation. "Preceding our entrance into the war some of the people were optomis t:c and some pessimistic over our chances in the conflict. The skeptical ones asked the difficult question: Can (Continued on Page 4) Prof. Branson Granted Year's Leave of Absence Prof. E. C.

GRAHAM At a meeting of the faculty Tues November 12, a committee was ap pointed to consider the question of permanent memorials to the late President Graham. This committee is composed of Professor L. R. Wilson, W. M. Day, T. W. Chase, D. V. Howell, and Mr. C. T. Woolen. A similar com mittee from the trustees of the Uni versity has also been named, consist ing of Governor T. W. Bickett, Mr. Clem Wright, of Greensboro, Mr. George Stevens, of Charlotte, Mr. Leslie Weil, of Goldsboro, and Mr. V. S. Bryant, of Durham. A conference of the two committees is to be held at an early date, at which time the following proposals are to be consid ered: First, the issue of a special number of the University Record, con taining the proceedings of the me morial service soon to be held by the University in memory of Doctor Gra ham and a biographical sketch to gether with the editorials and appre ciative comment from the press and messages of those that have known and admired him. Second, to publish in attractive book form a volume of the addresses and writings of Presi dent Graham. Third, the erection on the campus of a students' union or building to be known as the Graham Memorial Building. Readers of the Tar Heel can lock for more on this subject in the near future. We were pleasantly surprised last week when Eddie Merritt, '19, who was called to camp a short time ago, returned to the Hill. Eddie remained at Camp Hancock, Ga., about a week before being released. S.A.T. C. Unit Continues Drill, But With Changes Regular drill of the S. A. T. C. units continues with slight modifica tion. Since the signing of the armis tice, orders have been received from Washington to the effect that slight change in S. A. T. C. drill hours should go into effect immediately. Instead of sounding Reveille at 6 o'clock, the hour has been changed to 6:40. The even ing study period has been extended form 10 until 10:40. As a result of this new arrangement, the men will have more opportunity to prepare their academic work. It is not known exactly what disposition will be made of the S. A. T. C. units, but it is cer tan from all reports that a quick re turn to regular academy work is desired by both the War Department and college committees. Afternoon drill hours are not af fected by the change in hours. Re treat has been changed to 5:30. The S. A. T. C. boys are showing pep and spirit despite changed condi tions. Keen rivalry still exists be tween companies of the unit. News of great interest to all S. A. T. C. men is the fact that they will be granted holidays Thanksgiving and Christmas. According to plans an nounced by the Company Comman ders, to their Companies, the men w.11 have Thanksgiving day off and five days during the Christmas holi days. Commencing next Monday there will only be six hours drill a week for the S. A. T. C. men. This ar rangement, it is hoped, will give the men more time to work upon their studies and academic work. As yet no further news has been received, but it is evident that the rigidness of strict military duty will give way, to some degree, to pre war University routine. W. H. BOBBIT AWARDED ANNAPOLIS . APPOINTMENT Wm. H. Bobbitt, of this year's Sophomore class, has just received formal notification of his appointment to the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md., and will leave the II 11 Saturday. "Bill" has been one of the most active members of his class, taking a vigorous part in class and school activities. Last year, he made high grades on all his work ranking third in his class. It is with genuine re gret that we , watch his departure and we wish him every success in his new life. KEEP YOUR AUTO IN STREET If you are so fortunate as to own an auto, do not strive to advertise the fact by driving it about the cam pus and arboretum walks, thus forc ing the rightful owners over into the gutter. Certain faculty members and the majority of the student body firm ly object to the practice. Be an al truist and keep your auto in the street where it belongs. C. B. Holding, '18, now at an En sign school at Hampton Roads, was cn the Hill last Tuesday. GAME WITH "TANKERS" HERE ON TURKEY DAY HAVE ALL-STAR AGGREGATION; MANY .

(Continued on Page 4) NOTICE Due to the delay in the ar rival of the Tar Heel on the Hill last week, many men desiring to enter the Tar Heel contest did not have time to make their contributions. The contest will therefore continue another week. All contestants submit material to Wolfe, Managing Editor, or put in Tar Heel box, Y. M. C. A., by Wednesday, 10 P. M. V. P. I. IS SCHEDULED FOR FOOTBALL GAME SATURDAY TEAMS ARE EVENLY MATCHED AND CLOSE, HARD FIGHT IS EXPECTED Saturday our football squad takes the field against the strong aggre gation from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. V. P. I. has as usual i snappy, peppy buch of gridiron war riors and a fast close game is ex pected. According to "dope" the two teams should be very evenly matched. V. P. I. last week won from N. C. A & E. by a 25-0 score, while Carolina lost a close game to Davidson the breaks of the game all going against the Blue and White warriors. In the Davidson game Carolina's line showed a decided superiority over Davidson's and her backs made long consistent gains around end and through the line. Davidson has ad mittedly one of the strongest teams in the South this year. On the other hand A. & E., de feated last week by V. P. I., has a weak team and the comparatively large score is indicative of nothing. So there you are. Carolina is in great form, however, hardly any of her men having received injuries. Coach Ritch announces the following probable line up for both the V. P. I. and Camp Polk games: Centers Brown and McNeely. Guards McQueen, Nichols, Austin and An drews. Tackles Gant (Capt.), Carter, Kernodle, Owen and Walzer. Ends Gibson, Holt, Widenhouse, Ranson, and Lynch. Quarter Backs Pharr and Lowe. . Backs Fearrington, Bristol, Herty and French.

Tuesday Night Chapel Regular "Pep" Meeting At Chapel Tuesday night a regular Carolina meeting was held. Profes sor M. H. Stacy acted as master of ceremonies and presented in turn four Carolina men who spoke of various phases of college at Carolina. The first speaker presented was Tom Simmons, a 1908 graduate of the University, now in the S. A. T. C. He spoke of what it means to a man to be able to say that he is a Caro lina graduate. He assured us, from personal experience, that this is a great place with a great spirit, and that the way we spend our time with in these campus walls has a direct bearing upon our future success. He forcefully maintained that it was the part of wisdom to hold as a goal, graduation from U. N. C. Frank Herty was next called upon, and told " in a clear-cut manner the feelings of S. A. T. C. students. He said that their purposes had been un determined, and that there was a great tendency to become slack and accom plish little, since the signing of the armistice means the end of the war and the speedy demobilization of the S. A. T. C. He called upon us to show the old Carolina spirit, and stick to our duties in a manner that will re flect credit upon our institution. To the men who intended to remain in college, Nathan Mobley pointed out the various collegiate activities which claim a college man's attention. The literary societies were especially em phasized as being great agencies in developing a college man's literary na ture and point of view upon public questions. Walter Feimster, this year a Sen ior, told forcefully why a man should stay in college. He pointed out that men of college education will be de manded now to retore things to their normal conditions. "The problems of demobilization and readjustment are greater than the tremendous task of placing a huge army in France," he declared. The task will call for men of high mentality, and it is our duty to prepare to meet it. "Stay in col lege as long as you can, even if you have to borrow the money with which to defray your expenses," was the burden of his talk. The meeting reminded one of old times with old Carolina pep present, and, it seems, that ere many more months glide by,. Carolina will become her true self again. A NEW CAROLINA At present we have the new mili taristic Carolina, and is it possible that in the future we shall have a new academic Carolina? This sys tem would be based on that of cer tain other colleges, notably Columbia, in which the year of eleven months consists of four terms, a month's vacation being granted in September. Capt. G. T. Carson, of the 36th Infantry, but who has recently been stationed at the University of Florida, ha3 arrived on the Hill. Capt. Carson has been ordered here to assist in the work connected vith the S. A. T. C.
