QUICK RE-ADJUSTMENT
TO PRE-WAR ACTIVITY
lN GENERAL STATEMENT UNI
VERSITY OUTLINES WORK
FOR REST OF YEAR
SELF-HEP FoTaLL STUDENTS
Financial Difficulty Need Not Em
barrass Any Work to be Di
vided into Quarters
r
Since the disbanding of the Stu
dents' Army Training Corps, the Uni
versity of North Carolina will return
to a pre-war basis after the Christ
mas holidays. The work for the re
mainder of this college year will be
divided into two quarters, and the
schedule of courses will be so ar
ranged that a student may begin at
the opening of the winter quarter
and pursue courses as complete units
during these quarters. - Many courses
hitherto three hours per week will be
offered for five or six hours per week,
so that full instruction in these sub
jects may be assured. By this ar
langement it will be possible for old
students to continue their college work
at the point at which they left it.
No advantage will be gained, by wait
ing until the opening of another col
lege year. From the standpoint of
academic credit, courses will count for
the two quarters and in the same pro
portion as in the past. New students,
who are prepared for nt-ance to col
lege, may register and complete two
thirds of their year's work instead of
cne-half, as formerly.
Rooms for the Winter and Spring
terms. may be reserved at the Treas
urer's office on December 10th, by
signing rcom contract and mak'ng ini
tial payment of $5 on room rent by
each intending occupant. Preference
on any particular room will be given
to those who had reserved the room
before September 1st, provided they
apply on December 9th. After that
date the room will be ass'gned to
the first applicants.

NonS. A. T. C. Selects
Permanent Officers
Both companies of the non-S. A.

basis than ever before. The officers
commissioned and non-commissioned,
who were appointed are as follows:
Co. E S. C, Ogburn, Captain; T.

ANNOUNCEMENTS IN
TUESDAY CHAPEL
The regular Tuesday evening Chapel
meeting was conducted this week by
Dr. Chase. Dr. Moss was present
and led in a short prayer.
While opening the meeting Dr.
Chase announced that his capacity on
this occasion would be quite similar
to that of a bulletin board. Many in
teresting and important announce
ments were made in regard to credits
for work done this fall, organization
of academic classes, plans for next
term, etc.
Occcrdmg to Dr. Chase, credit w'll
be 'given in war courses pursued by
the men this fall, and which do not
cr-mp. in the regular requirements for
an A. B. degree. For every hour of
work taken one hour of credit will be
given. Thus a 3 hour course in a sub
ject, w'll render a student 1 hour of
credit for the work done by a man
during the fall term toward his final
erraduat'nn. The work done on tlr
drill field by the S. A. T. C. men will
render 1 hour's credit toward gradua
tion. Final examinations on the fall
work begin Monday, December 16, and
end December 20. The Christmas va
cation begins December 20. Registra
Hon days for the spring term are
January 2 and 3, and regular clasp
work begins the fourth. Beginning
with the spring term, the courses of
fered a-e to be so altered that Jun
iors and Seniors can secure the cred:ts
needed for their graduation. Th"
Sophomore and Freshman classes
will take such work as is needed t
fulfill the'r requirements. The samp
method of giving credits for work wiP
be in vogue as during the fall. This
spring term will end about the last
March when final examinations will

Prof. P H. Dagget
S. A. T. C. Director
Prof. P. H. Dagget, head of the
depaitment of Electrical Eng.neer
ing, has been appointed district di
rector of the S. A. T. C. for the
South Atlantic States, to succeed the
late President E. K. Graham. Presi
dent Mathewson, of the Georg.a
School of Technology, who was ten
dered the appointment by the ' Com
mittee on Education and Special
training, thought it unwise to accept
at this time. Professor Daggett,
having been intimately connected
with the work of the S. A. T. C, as
chairman of the committee on edu
cation and special training, at Wash
ington, during the past summer, and
director of the S. A. T. C. at the
University this fall is eminently quali
fied to fill the position made vacant
by the death of President Graham.
Professors Daggett and Hamilton,
the latter being regional director of
the war issues course, returned last
week from Washington, where hey
had attended the S. A. T. C. meet
ing. . .
All college authorities were not in
favor of disbanding the S. A. T. C,
according to Professor Daggett,
though the majority approved such
a move. It was costing the govern
ment over half a million dollars a
day, The good results were consider
ably offset by the influenza epidemic
and by the fact that entirely new ma
chinery had to be created by the war
department for its operation. A tre
mendous amount of work was in
volved, Professor Daggett states.
DI SOCIETY ELECTS
EDITOR YACKETY YACK
At a meeting of the Di Society
Saturday night, twelve new men were
initiated. This brings the total of
initiates to approximately 24.
Following Messrs. Coker and Wil
liams engaged in a spirited debate
on the question "Should Germany be
Admitted into the League of Na
tions?" Mr. Coker, representing the
affirmative, won.
'Mr. Grisett made a humorous ora
tion. He was followed or the pro
gram by Mr. Stewart, who dalivenl an
impromptu oration and gave several
selections from poetry.
Mr. Tom Simmons, '08, made an
interesting talk, urging men to stay
in college and get the "Spirit".
In the business of the evening it
was decided, if possible, to continue
the publication of the Yackety Yack.
W. C. Eaton was elected editor-in
chief.'
Coach Marvin Ritch, who has been
training the University football squad
this season, to Chapel Hill several
weeks ago to be with him during the
remainder of the football season.
While returning from Raleigh,
where Mr. and Mrs. Ritch had been
visiting relatives, she was suddenly
taken ill on the train and carried to
Watts Hospital, Durham. Her condi
tion became suddenly worse Saturday
night and the end on Sunday was not
unexpected.
LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS
PROF. Wi STARR MYERS
NOTED CAROLINA GRADUATE
SPEAKS ON "AFTER THE
WAR WHAT?"
NOT THE LAST WAR, IS CLAIMED
Germany Unrepentant; Beware of
Foolish Sentiment Be Just,
Not Lenient
How shall we meet post-war prob
lems and rearrange matters on a
peace basis? was the theme of an
interesting and instructive lecture de
livered by Professor William Starr
Myers, of Princeton University, in
Gerrard Hall Monday night, December
2nd. The formal subject of the lec
ture was: "After the war what?"
Doctor Archibald Henderson in in
troducing Professor Myers spoke of
him as an alumnus of the University
who has made an enviable reputa
tion for himself in the educational
world. Of especial interest to stu
dents here is the fact that he is the
author of our college song "Hail to
U. N. C." which was first sung by the
glee club at his graduation in 1897.
Professor Myers now holds the chair
of Professor of Politics at Princeton:
formerlv held by President Wil
son. During the past year he de
livered lectures thruout the country
on subjects deal'ng with politics, his
tory, and the war.
Professor Myers paTd a tribute to
the University when he said that a
varied experience has taught him
fliat the advantages offered by the
University are equal to any offered
by any other college in the country.
"The cost of the war to the United
States," sa:d Professor Myers, "has
been twenty billion dollars and ' wf
have leaned our allies ten b'llions
This fact alone should cause us to take
" keen 'ntei-est in our debtor 'nation
There has been and still is economic
and political bends of unron betweer

that binds us together is a spiritua1
unity, the tie that binds nations to

the people to rejoice when the prema-

INITIAL MEETING OF
LOCAL DRAMATISTS
On Wedngsdayj December 11 at
7:30 P. M. there will be a meeting in
the auditorium of Peabody Hall of all
those interested in Dramatics. It is
the purpose of this meeting to interest
the students in the formation of "The
Carolina Playmakers," which is to be
! tt- :j j -i . j
a university ana vommuniiy organi
zation for the product'on of plays il
lustrating North Carolina folk-life. At
this preliminary meeting the names
will be taken of all these interested
in any form of Dramatic Art, acting,
play-writing, costuming, stage con
struction, scene-painting, etc. Profes
sor Koch will present the plans of the
new organization at the meeting and
will show some slides of scenes taken
from folk plays produced by the Da-,
kota Playmakers of which he is the
founder. Prof. McKie, director of last
year's Dramatic Association, will
speak about dramatic history at the
University.
The Carolina Playmakers is to be a
community movement in which prob
lems of production will be worked out
by "home talent" and its membership
will comprise all those interested in
working along any line of stagecraft
It is planned to carry the idea of
community production of North Caro
lina plays all over the state for the
people that they may eventually help
in producing the life and characters of
cur state on the stage in many com
mun'ties. The first production will be given
as soon as possible after the Christ
mas vacation and will consit of p
program of three one-act plays deal
ing with North Carolina life selected
from those which have been written

Carolina Eleven Made
Creditable Showing
After an absence of one year the
Carol na eleven entered the field with
a team that made a most creditable
showing. Working under the handi
cap of restrictions necessarily imj-!
posed by the S. A. T. C. on the men
the team overcame the seemingly
unsurmountable odds and made good
in a very positive manner.
The season cpened with a game with
the old rival of Carolina, Wake For
est, and the Tar Heels experienced
little difficulty in romping away with
the bacon by the score of 13 to 7.
After an interesting game between
the teams representing Companies A
and B against C and E), the next op
ponent to face Carolina was the ag
gregation representing the Camp
Greene Remounts. This proved to be
the most lopsided event of the season
and the Tar Heels walked on Camp
Greene's neck for a total of 53 while
the Remounts were garnering an un
lucky 13.
The team next met Davidson at
Winston-Salem and received a defeat,
the first of the season, at the hands of
the Presbyterians, in a very close
game.
The next and last defeat which
came to Carolina was the drubbing ad
ministered by the heavy V. P. I. team.
Carolina put up a wonderful fight but
the vastly superior weight of the
Techs finally told and Carolina lost
the best game of the season.
The last game was played on
Thanksgiving Day under a threaten
ing sky and in a veritable sea of mud.
Camp Polk was the victim and the
white-Wash was applied by the Tar
Heels with the score of 12 to 0. The
O. T. C.'s put up a . stiff fight but
their fforts were of no avail against
the terrific fighting spirit of the Caro
lina warriors.
Among the outstanding features of
the season is the success which
crowned the efforts of a team made
up almost entirely of new men. Since
Carolina had no varsity football last
year, she had to start the season
without the nuclecus of even one let
ter man. This was a handicap that
can hardly be overestimated and it is
to the credit of every man on the team
that this season is one of which Caro
lina has every right to be proud.
In the line the work of Brown, Cap
tain Gant, Carter, Holt, McQueen, and
Nichols was of the highest order.
In the backfield Pharr, Fearring
ton, Lowe, Herty and Gibson played
a brilliant game, and much of the
credit for the season is due to their
effortr
Coach Ritch had an abundance of
good material to work on this year
but no letter men, this fact, although
a handicap, was not positively pro
hibitive to a successful team, as was
forcibly demonstrated in all of the
games.
In view of the existing conditions
the season may be called a success in
the best sense of the word and not
one iota of the season's record is detri
mental to the highest traditions of a
Carolina team with all that that
means.
DEMOBILIZATION WORK
TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
BY THE NON-ARRIVAL OF RE
LEASE BLANKS; EXPECTED
TO ARRIVE HOURLY
INTENSIFIED STUDY PROBABLE
Courses May Meet More Frequently
Reductions of Courses Per
Student
As the Tar Heel goes to press only
limited news can ' be gathered con
cerning the demobilization of the S.
A, T. C. The work of physical exami
nation is going on rapidly and stead
ly, the cruns have all been turned in,
extra clothing, etc. A slight delay
has been caused by the non arrival of
discharge blanks but these are ex
pected hourly and it is probable the
work of demobilization will be well
under way by the time the Tar Heel
leaves the press. The demobilization
of the unit will be speedily effected,
it is thought. The plan is to demobil
ize Cos. A, B, C, and D on successive
days,
It has been announced that one uni
form may be retained and worn four
months after demobilization. It has
been further announced that bedding
may be kept until Christmas by the
deposit of ten dollars. This money, of
course, is refunded when the bedding
is turned in.
The University further announces
the division of the college year into
quarters. The schedule has been so
arranged that a student may enter col
lege after the holidays and pursue
courses as complete units during these
courses. Nothing will be gained, it
is announced, by waiting for the be
gining of another college year.
Courses will count for the two quart
ters, from an academic standpoint,
and in the same proportion as in the
past. New students may register af
ter the holidays and receive credit for
two thirds of a college year.
Of interest to the old students is the
announcement that many courses
formerly three hours weekly will be
changed to five and six hours weekly
in order that full instruction may be
offered in the remaining quarters.
Indeed it is not improbable that
a complete intensification of courses
will .be adopted that the number of
courses taken by the individual and
the hours of the course increased. It
is thought this system will lead to a
more thorough understanding of the
subject.
Robert Wunsch, Y. M. C. A. Sec
retary, has returned to the Hill after
a business trip to Atlanta. He re
ports seeing the Carolina Marino
unit, now stationed at Georgia Tech.
The men in the unit are uncertain
as to what time they will be dismissed
from service.
Dickens "Christmas
Carol" Will he Read
The English Faculty announces that
an interpretative reading of Charles
Dickens' "Christmas Carol" will be
given by Professor Frederick H. Koch,
Professor of Dramatic Literature, in
Gerrard Hall on December 15 at 7:30
p. m. This is an innovation at the
University, but the fact that the subr
ject deals with Christmas times and
the spirit of the Yule-tide which will
soon fill our hearts assures a success
for the reading. The cutting that is to
be used by Professor Koch is practi
cally the same that was used by Dick
ens himself when he toured this coun
try and gave similar readings.
The manner of presentation is
unique and unlike anything that has
been held at the University. The
stage setting will be such as to pre
serve the atmosphere that pervades
the story. Thruout the performance
the reader will remain seated at a
table upon which a solitary candle is
burning. This candle together with
a spotlight playing on the reader will
be the only light in the house, the
lights in the audience being turned
off. Christmas carols sung between,
the different divisions of the story by
a chorus probably seated in the gal
lery will form the interludes.
Fourteen years ago, while he was
teaching in the University of North
Dakota, Professor Koch was reauested
to give a reading of this Christmas
story to a few invited guests. His
rendition received such an enthusiastic
reception that he repeated the per
formance the following Christmas to
the public. Since that time Profes
sor Koch has given an annual read
ing of the "Christmas Carol" to an
ever increasing and enthusiastic au
dience. It is the desire of Professor
Koch to bring more vividly to the stu
dents the spirit of this period of the
year, to make this masterpiece of
Dickens a ritual of the Christmas
spirit.
