BATTALION ADDRESSED
BY GOVERNOR BICKETT
(Continued from Page 1)
to the effect that the Huns could. have
peace whenever their terms were ac
ceptable to the United States, as the
noblest tribute ever paid to the jus
tice and wisdom of this nation. He
impressed very f orceably upon the stu
dents the fact that peace has its du
ties and glories no less renowned than
war, saying in part: "The world is
looking to the United States to blaze
the path in which all nations must
henceforth walk. It would be a tragic
blunder and a fearful miistake for any
one of you who can remain in college
to fail to do so. The less money you
have the less you can afford not to
stay." He urged each student to
think the matter over very seriously
before deciding to be forever a pri
vate in citizenship.

Mesdames W. M. Dey, A. H. Pat

dances.
The success of the dances was due
largely to the activity of the dance
committee. The following men com
pose this committee: ' , .
Ficklen as leader, Gant annd Kim
ball assistant leaders; Pemberton,
Ruffin, Jones, Harvey, White and

Plans are now being made for the
continuation of the regular Spring
dances as heretofore. More definite
information concerning these dances
will soon be made.

"LONG BILL" JONES
All students who are interested in
any phase of Dramatic Art will have
abundant opportunity with the begin
ning of the new term to join in the
community making of folk plays as
actors, writers or workers in any
branch of stagecraft. The class in
Dramatic Composition, English 31,
will be open to advance students with
some experience in writing. The work
of this class is, the making of a new
folk drama from materials found in
the life of our people. It is this work
in which Professor Koch has been en
gaged in the Northwest. During the
first term the "members of English 31
have discovered some of the riches of
North Carolina as a field of dramatic
material. The legends and traditions,
the history of the state, the mountain
folk with their primitive manners and
survivals of old ballads and superstit
ions, and negro life with all its com
edy, pathos and melody form a wealth
of untoched material available for a
real drama fresh from the soil. At the
beginning of the term a meeting will
be held of all those interested in any
phase of Dramatic Art. This meeting
will be preliminary to the organization
of The Carolina Playmakers which will
have a community membership and
will be open to any student who shows
proficiency in acting, playwriting, or
stagecraft. Competitive trials for
membership will be held later, and
The Carolina Plamakers will be limit
ed to those who show marked ability.
The first program of three original
one-act plays by members of Profes
sor Koch's class will be presented ear
ly in the term. A stage is being con
structed in the auditorium of the
Chapel Hill high school which is to
serve as model for the construction of
adjustable and portable stages for
halls or school auditoriums in any
town in the state. The plan is to take
stage equipment to various parts of
the State to show the people of North
Carolina what kind of plays may be
made by our people from our own life,
and to promote the creative instinct
in folk drama as a part of the exten
sion work of the University.
The Dakota Flaymakers, which was
founded by Professor Koch in North
Dakota has proved how successful
community drama may be, and The
Carolina' Playmakers will be organ
ized along the same lines. From The
Dakota Playmakers came a native
drama which was so genuine and near
to the life of the people that it received
recognition by those interested in folk
drama in all parts of the country. Last
year Mr. Winthrop Ames of the Little
Theatre in New York urged Professor
Koch to bring The Dakota Playmakers
to New York and put on a program of
prairie plays in the Neighborhood
Playhouse there. Thus the new folk
drama may fill the need of the Ameri
can stage for a "new literature of the
people, fresh from the soil' which it is
hoped will eventually take the place of
the artificial, meritricious, "vaudevil
lainous" plays of the American stage
of today. Professor Koch came here
because he believed that there was
material in North Carolina for the
making of a great folk drama. The
beginning of the new term will see the
beginning of a community organiza
toin, The Carolina Playmakers, in
which all those who are interested may
have a creative share.
DI SOCIETY ACTIVE
DESPITE OBSTACLES
(Continued from Page 1)
the Society voted unanimously to sup
port the Magazine, and the first num
ber will appear as soon after Christ
mas as is practicable.
Taking into consideration the ex
traordinary circumstances existing
here this year, the Di. Society has
done excellent work. The greatest
handicap, aside from military work,
was the absence of most of its old
members. New officers had to be
elected; new committees appointed,
and the work adjusted to meet the
peculiar war-time conditions.
After the holidays things will get
back into old form. The Smoker
that was to have been held Satur
day night will come on the night of
the fourth of January. The regular
debates, with theexception of the
Soph-Junior debate, will be held, and
Society pins and medals will be
awarded the winners as in former
years. All present indications point
to a great year for th eDi. Society,
and its up to the loyal Di. men to get
the advantages of this kind of work
before the new men of Carolina, and
show them that in the work of the
Literary society there exists advan
tages that will be of distinct value
to them it college and after life.
Varsity Athletics Will
Be Resumed After Xmas
In the face of seemingly insur
mountable obstacles Carolina had this
year a team worthy of the name. That
is history.
There isno denying the fact that
one of the strongest attractions that
an institution can have is good ath
letics. At Carolina this rule meets
no exception and it is a confirmed
fact that many students have been
and will be attracted here by the glo
ry of Carolina's athletics.
The S. A. T. C. has been discon
tinued and with it the restrictions
which, in a word, transformed the
Old College so completely and changed
Non-S. A. T. C. Unit
Developed Rapidly
The final examinations for the non
S. A. T. C. military students was held
Saturday afternon at 2:30. Although
the non-S. A. T. C. students have been
contending against unusual difficulties
they have made a creditable showing
in their work and Adjutant Whitfield
has expressed his apreciation for the
spirit that the mert have shown and
the manner in which they have work
ed. He expressed his satisfaction with .
the amount of work and the quality
of the work accomplished.
At the beginning of the year prac
tically one hundred twenty or twenty
five men began the military drill. Of
this number about one hundred re
main. Those unaccounted for either
dropped the course or have left
scohol.
At the first of the year, the situa
tion seemed very gloomy. Officers'
material seemed scarce, the men were
young and the groater majority of
rhem had never had military drill be
fore. Then the "Flu" epidemic came
on and that delayed the work greatly.
The men who had been in the Infirm
ary held the others back. But the
non-S. A. T. C. was very fortunate in
having Capt. J. Stuart Allen and Mr.
J. V. Whitfield to start off the mili
tary work. Captain Allen, a Canad
ian army officer, while Mr. Whitfield
had been adjutant at Horner's Mili
tary Academy previous to his accept
ance of this position of Military In
structor in the University faculty.
Captain Allen remained at the Uni
versity until the first of December
when he returned to his home in
Canada..
The greater part of the work this
year has been in close formation.
Squad, platoon, ' company and batal
ion drill has been especially empha
sized. Besides these several short hikes
have been taken and the means of pro
tecting a body of trops on the march
have been shown. Several small at
tacks on the country club have been
staged. Thus the men gained a good
working idea of the attacks and the
methods of procedure in actual war
fare. Although the last years
trenches have not been rebuilt, the old
ones have been used a little by the
non-S. A. T. C.'s. Besides learning
the parts of a trench from them and
getting a general idea of what a trench
or set of trenches lok like, a . trench
relief has been accomplished.
In addition to the open air work,
Captain Allen and Mr. Whitfield gave
lectures throughout the year on mili
tary work in general. Captain Allen
lectured on musketry, trenches, at
tacks, bombing, and gasing in the
present war. ,
Mr. Whitfield's lectures covered the
close order drilling and military coun
try. The non-S.. A. T. C. work will be
carried on as before afttr Christmas
with Mr. Whitfield as commandant.
From the number who have an
nounced their intentions of taking the
drill the course promises to be a great
success.
it so utterly that it was difficult for
a time to recognize it as Carolina.
It was but a thin camouflage, how
ever, the old Carolina Spirit was
there just as strong, as true, as in
domitable as ever.
With the coming of the new year
life at the University will resume
its normal trend. Many old laces
will return and new ones too will be
seen.
Then the question of athletics, the
prospects, the possibilities and hopes.
Will the old Tar Heel teams be able
to uphold the splendid traditions of
the institution?
It may be said that the prospects
were never brighter, material more
plentiful, nor enthusiasm keener.
Lynch, a member of last year's bas
ketball team, is back and should show
up in great form. The material for
a successful team is abundant and
the fact that Carolina will have a
winning quintette is taken for granted
and left to the coaches. They have
back of them the record of Carolina,
the support of the students and the
"Carolina Spirit."
Jack Powell, captain of this year's
nine, returns to the Hill in the spring.
Younce, Feimster, Lewis, Bryant and
Harden are back, of the players of last
year and with the abundance of good
new material that was in evidence last
season among the men who are sopho
mores this year, Carolina bids fair to
have a winning aggregation of horse
hide tossers in the spring.
This announcement will no doubt be
of interest to the number of adher
ents to the great American game as
interpreted by the Tar Heels. Quite
a host of fans and fanettes are look
ing forward with interest to the day
when Old Man Winter has been driven
from the mound and the imperial or
der of Carolina Wielders of the Wil
low will cavort around the bases at
will and the horse-hide pill is driven
to all corners of the lot.
CO-EDS MAKE POST-WAR PLANS
The University has secured for the
women students an instructor in Phy
sical Training and classes will be held
twice a week probably in the old
University Inn.
The women hope to be able to serve
the University in many ways with
the return of pre-war activities and
look forward to the remainder of the
year as a fulfillment of many plans
and a step forward in higher service
to Carolina.
