Wt spienaia necora in Debating rmiot ha 'atata of North Carolina has a university that taKes Dig ranis among the educational institutions of the country has been .clearly shown by Dr. A. H. Paterson, acting dean of the school of liberal arts, in a series of talks made to the students in chapel. He points out many extreme ly interesting facts concerning the high estimate placed upon this insti-it-i W fViA imvftniment and bv edu- uav , . . . buiaui mj o w ' . . . cators throughout the country which are unknown to the people 01 tne state in general. The university authorities always take stock at the end of each college year. Among other things, Dr. Patterson shows that the university is one of ftia fnnr lpnHinp' nollepiate institu- IfUV 0 o - tions of the south; that the men at the head of the three largest 01 tnese institutions in 1916 were all Univer iHr of North Carolina alumni, that the American Chemical society, com ing south only twice for presidents, has found both of these at the Uni TOreitv of North Carolina: that of the seven starred scientists of the state six are found at the university; ... . i 1 1 i iij that representatives 01 tnis institu tion, meeting some of the largest in stitutions of the country in forensic frays, has won 70 per cent of their ebates; and that, while the university is without large private endowments, it is a $9,000,000,000 proposition. Government Rating Several years ago, Dr. Patterson states, the government completed an educational survey of all the colleges in the country, applying the same tests rigidly and impartially to all institutions. These institutions were divided into live classes, the first class being divided into two divisions, In the first class of the first division there were found only four southern institutions, the University of North Carolina, the University of Virginia, the University of Texas and Vander bilt university. . ; Furnish College Presidents Significant is the fact that the men at the head of the three state univer ( Continued on Page 5) The Y.M. C. A. Meets and Fulfills Opportunity For , , , a Real Campus Service It would be hard to summarize in detail the varied activity of the Y. M. C. A. this year; It is thought, however, that the Y, M. C. i A. has been a more vital organization this year than ever before in its history, and that it has met and fulfilled a real campus need"""1'1""'"1' "" The Y. M. C. A. had, perhaps, its greatest opportunity for service dur ing the regime of the S. A. T. C. Due to the restrictions placed upon S. A. T. C. members, the Y. M. C. A. became for perhaps the first time the center of college social life. It came into direct, personal contact with prac tically every man on the campus, and, during the dark ages of military ac tivity, it . organized festivals, enter tainments, and gave recreative amuse ments to students who otherwise thought themselves ; in a "vale of tears." With the return of the college to its normal activity the "Y", of neces sity, lost some of its opportunity , for intimate association but it has man ned to keep itself vital and is still the social headquarters for many stu dents. The "Y" dance hall is one of its ww features and for the past term scores of students have gathered there htly to enjoy mutual partnership all the latest dances. Community work, negro night schools, etc., have been carried for ward this year more extensively than iver before. Practically all the visit ng entertainments have been given mder the auspices of the "Y." An ambitious program has been flapped out for next year and under -he direction of G. D. Crawford, resident-elect, and "Bobby" Wunsch, ;ne tireless secretary to whom, in flam, the "Y.s" success this year has Jen due, great results are expected. Playmakers to Repeat Last Performance at Play-House, June 17 At the request of the Senior Class the Carolina Playmakers will give a commencement program of two one act plays repeated from previous per formances. The plays are by mem bers of the graduating class, "What Will Barbara Say" by Minnie Shep herd Sparrow, a graduate student and "Peggy" by Harold Williamson, 1919. The performance will be given at the Play-House on Tuesday, June 17. The idea of a dramatic feature at commencement appeals to all as an improvement in the regular program and a large attendance is expected at the performance. Many people from over the state will be given an oppor tunity to see the work of the Caro lina Playmakers, and the program offered is especially appropriate, con sisting of a comedy of college life at commencement and a farm tragedy which presents a more serious side of the work done by the members of English 31 and the Play-makers. There will be one performance on ly, Tuesday night. Tickets will be reserved and on sale at Eubanks Drug Store. UNIVERSITY MAKES RADICAL ADVANCE WITH I NEW. COMMERCE SCHOOL DEPT. OF JOURNALISM ALSO IMPROVED; ASSOCIATED PRESS INSTRUCTOR Another way in which the Univer sity is broadening and extending its scope is by the establishment of the School of Commerce and Finance and by the addition of several new courses in Journalism. These new features are expected to draw to the Universi ty many of the students who now go elsewhere because they cannot get what they want here. The School of Commerce is a fea ture that has been needed for a long time. Many students desiring courses which would be in the direct line of the business in which they expected to engage have found only meager facilities here for life preparation. The new School of. Commerce and Finance will include the present De partments of Economics and of Rural Economics and Sociology, and will offer all the courses now offered in these departments, in addition to a large number of specialized courses. The particular heads under which these new courses will come are those of Business Organization and Man agement, Accounting, and Commerce and Marketing. , Like the School of Applied Science, the School of Commerce and Finance will grant its own special degree, the B. S. in Commerce. The requirements for this degree will consist of four years work, with the first two years very much the same as in the College of Liberal Arts, but with specializa tion in Commerce courses in the Jun ior and Senior years. The require ments for entrance are the same as in the College of Liberal Arts, 14 points from .an accredited High School. The curriculum in the Fresh man year allows no electives, and the courses required are almost tne same as in the College of Liberal Arts; Mathematics. Historv. Enelish. one modern language, and Industrial Geo graphy, a total of nine, courses, m the Sophomore year slightly more specialization in Commerce is allowed with English, a continuation of the modern language taken in the Fresh man year, a science from the School of Applied Science, Advanced History and one course in General Economic and one special Economics Course, a total of 9 1-2 courses. With the Jun ior year real specialization begins, with the five required courses of Ac counting, Business Organization and Management, and Money and Bank ing; and with the election under the direction of the Dean of the School of 4 courses from the following: Com merce and . Marketing, Insurance, Psychology, Commercial Spanish and French, Advanced English Composi tion, and the Writing of Technical Papers. In the Senior Year there are prac tically no required courses; courses are elected under the Dean's direction from among those already mentioned, and also from the following: Labor Problems, Theories of Economic Re form, Public Finance, Business Sta tistics, Sociology and Social Ethics, Municipal Government, Latin-American History, Business Law, and Busi ness Mathematics. There will be three new Professors in this School of Commerce and Fi (Continued on Page 2) DESPITE CONDITIONS THE SOCIETIES CONTINUE WORK WITH ADDED VITALITY EVEN THE S.A.T.C. FAILED TO KEEP 'EM DOWN; PHI NOW LEGISLATES DEBATING INTEREST IS REVIVED Extensive Preparations Now Being Made for Next Year's For ensic Work Like everything else that came in contact with the S. A. T. C. of last fall the two big literary societies of the University the Philantropic and Dialectic felt keenly the effects of the S. A. T. C, and its militarizing features. Last fall during the S. A. T. C. days practically all of the stu dent organizations on the campus were suspended or disorganized. In fact with the exception of. the two literary societies and the Y. M. C. A. all of the other organizations were suspended. Although still striving to hold up and keep their heads above the water, the societies had to con tend with every obstacle imaginable. First there were military restrictions, placed upon the meeting hours of the societies, ; practically all of the old men were away in the army or had failed to return, and lastly the epi demic of influenza came very near putting an end to the hope of keep ing the organization alive. But m spite of all of these obstacles the societies lived, and in hand with the Y.M.C.A., contributed as much to the keeping 'alive of the "Carolina Spirit'' as any other element on the cam pus. The number of new men taken in at the beginning of last fall was larger than expected, and it is largely (Continued on Page 5) NJEW TAR HEEL BOARD The following men will com pose the Editorial Board of the Tar Heel for the next year.

Boyce Military training will again return to the University campus. During the year 1917-18 Carolina had one of the most efficient college batallions in the country as shown by the excellent record made by boys in camps after leaving here. The war in Europe and Captain J. Stuart Allen plus the spirit of youth and the Carolina spirit made things hum around the Hill. Then last fall the S. A. T. C. unit con tinued the good work already started. So the authorities and the student body have seen that drilling from a disciplinary and physical standpoint to say nothing of preparedness is in deed , a good thing. An R. O. T. C. unit is to be estab lished here next year! and Mafo'or Boyce hopes to have a batallion here second to none in the country. New men coming in who have never had any training along military lines are urged to take the course. Already the. required number have signed up, and Major Boyce thinks everything favorable for an excellent year. The following in outline form gives all the details: I. The need of the R. O. T. C, the Eatriotic duty of the citizen fulfilling is military obligation to his country. For the country the massing of train ed and educated officers ready in time of need to step into work in which they are trained. , II. The details of the R. O. T. C. project: 1. Time alloted to training in 4 year college course: Freshman and Sophomore years 3 hours per week Junior and Senior years 5 hours per week 2. Credit given by University to ward graduation. (3 points). 3. Uniforms given by Government to members of R. O. T.

These honors call forth the very best ability which is to be found in the student body, and there are al ways many contestants for them. Now that conditions have been returning steadily to normal conditions since Christmas, men are taking renewed interest in these prizes and medals. This spring more men have gone in for these honors than during the war period which has just closed. The winners of these prizes for this year will be announced at commencement. This year a new annual prize is an nounced by the English department, to be known as the Burdick Prize in Journalism. It is established through the generosity of Mrs. Julia W. Burdick, of Asheville, in memory of her son, Edmund, of the .class class of 19520, who died in his sophomore year at Carolina. The following are the . prizes, medals and fellowships which are of fered: The Mangum Medal in Oratory which was founded in 1878 by the Misses Mangum, late of Orange County, in memory of their father, Willie Person Mangum, is continued by his granddaughters, Mrs. Julian A. Turner, Mrs. Stephen B. Weeks, and Miss Preston Leach. It is awarded to that member of the Senior Class who delivers the best oration at commence ment. The Bingham Prize in Debate was established in 1899 by Mr. R. W. Bingham in memory, of his great grandfather, grandfather, fatner, ana brother. " It is given annualW to the best debater in the inter-society de bate held during commencement. ' The Kerr Prize in Geology and Mineralogy was established in 1889. It is a prize of 50 dollars offered by Mr. W. H. Kerr in memory of his father, Professor Washington C. Kerr, to any undergraduate or gradu ate student for the best thesis con taining original work in the geology Or mineralogy of North Carolina. .

CAMPBELL BACK AS COACH Coaches Will be Secured for All Ath letics; Proposed Expansion of One-Year Ruling The 1918-1919 athletic season was formally closed last Friday night at the big student mass meeting in Ger rard Hall when the N. C. monograms and stars were awarded to the men who have so successfully represented the University this term. Albert M. Coates, who acted as chairman of the meeting, struck the keynote of student sentiment when, in awarding to Captain Jack Powell his third star, representing four year's work on the Carolina Varsity he paid tribute to him as "a true Carolina man a fine student, an ex cellent athlete, but with that and above that a thorough gentleman." Captain Powell then awarded mono grams and stars to the following men: ' In baseball Stars: Herty, Feim ster, Joyner, Bryant; Monograms: Saunders, Milton, , Lewis, Wilson, Hodges. ; In basketball Stars: Cuthbertson, Carmichael, Liipfert, Lynch; Mono grams: Morris, Brpwn, Bynuni. . In track Stars: Davis, Spencer; Monograms: Nichols, 'Smith, ,York Corpening, Norfleet, Herty, F. , In gym Lynch, Percy. . 7 ' Despite the fact that on account of the S. A. T. C, Carolina had no Varsity football team this fall, the military unit put out a very credi table team. "Philly" Ritch, of Char lotte, a former Carolina and George town star, was the pilot of the Sr. A.' T. C. aggregation, and Allan E. Gant, of Burlington, was captain. , Durjng this military regime it looked like the old Carolina spirit (had about given up the ghost, but when the stu dents returned after the Christmas holidays and' began to resume, their work . the old-time atmosphere of Carolina returned with a rush. Cap tain Cuthbertson started off basket ball practice on the jump and soon. a team was built up which went through the season in great style. The sche dule was a long and arduous one, but the Carolina basketeers came through with a big percentage . of victories over their opponents, we lost a very (Continued on Page 5) Wearers of the Key Exclusive this Year; War Depletes Ranks of Aspirants The ranks of the Phi Beta Kappa candidates from the Class of 1920 have been so depleted by the war and by the disturbed conditions that it ap pears that there will be a smaller number winning the golden key this Commencement than in several years. The Class of 1920 started in the fall of its Freshman year with 20 men on the honor roll, and increased this number to 25 in the spring, the larg est number of any class up to that time. But gradually this number has become smaller and smaller; many left to go to the war; others were drafted; two died; and finally there remain only a very few who have managed to stick through the vicis situdes of the last three years and are now on the last lap with a fair chance of success. Ther are five men who have gotten off all the requirements in courses and in hours and who have the necesasry average up as far as the present ex aminations. These men are II. S. Everett. C. R. Toy, E. E. White, R. H. Souther, and R. B. Gwynn. Ever ett has the highest average of these five. In addition, there are two men, C. P. Spruill and R. S. Shore, who have the necessary average, but who are lacking either in a required course or else in the required num ber of hours. Ihere is a possibility that the latter two may be taken in by a special ruling of the Chapter, in view of the exceptionally difficult conditions under which they have la bored, lwo or three other men of the class of 1920, who are lacking in the required number of hours and in some of the required courses, may be aoie to mane -m ueca nappa next year if they continue to get the grades .throughout the year. Even if all the seven above mentioned shall make it, it will be the smallest group ox initiates in a number of years.
