WHO IS YOUR CANDIDATE? READ THE TAR HEEL'S TICKET OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA Volume XXVIII. CHAPEL HILL, N. C, FEBRUARY 28, 1920 Number 18 jaw 3 SCHOOL OF COMMERCE OUTLINES PROGRAM SERIES OF EIGHT LECTURES TO BE DELIVERED THIS SPRING TO INCREASE NUMBER OF STAFF New Branches of Work to Be Opened Up to Students The School of Commerce has plan ned a further extension of its work through a series of eight lectures to be delivered this spring. These lec tures will be delivered by the repre sentative business men of the state and of the nation. The series should have begun two weeks ago but has been delayed because of the influenza situation. Each lecture will deal with a separate and distinct business, and will be of interest to the student body at large, as well as the commer cial students. A detailed announce ment of the series will be given as soon as the flu situation permits of definite arrangements. This department of the University is planning further development through the addition of two new men to its teaching staff. One of these men will have charge, of business or ganization, etc.; the other will con duct courses in foreign trade,' market ing and salesmanship. The dean of the school is now corresponding with two such men, and expects to have them here ready to take charge of this work next year. The old physics laboratory room is being refitted as an accounting lab oratory. This will not only enable the school to give a better and more satisfactory course in accounting, but also to serve a greater number of students desiring such a course. With these and other extensions the School of Commerce hopes to be able to offer special inducements to business students of the state and nation. President Chase Outlines Program For New Buildings On Monday morning in Chapel President Chase outlined and com mented on the University building program for the benefit of the stu dents. The students are showing a fine interest in thi3 work, says the president, and I feel called upon to give them facts. We are now bend ing every effort towards the construc tion of two new dormitories and a laundry, but the plans of all state buildings must be prepared by the state architectural department, and this department is so congested, at present that our buildings will be de layed much longer than we had thought. Finding this to be true and knowing the urgent need of rooming facilities we considered the erection of temporary buildings as a kind of emergency barracks, but upon look ing into the cost of such buildings we found that at the present high price of building material it would cost four hundred dollars ($400) per stu dent to construct these temporary buildings. This is more of the state's inoney than we feel justified in spend ing in this manner, so we are now trying to do two things: - 1st. To hasten the building pro-am in every possible way. Very little can be done in this direction antil the plans have been drawn up. 2d. To find more rooms in town for students. In- this way we have been comparatively successful, hav ing found rooms for seventy-five or hundred additional. students. When we do build the new dormi tories we are going to build not only for the present, but also for the fu ture. The new buildings will be buildings which we can take pride in ten or twenty years hence. They wiN be modern and up-to-date in ev 'ry respect. In the meantime, let us take care of what we have, and there by show the state that we deserve the new buildings which we are go ng to get. ) Yes, Claude, the near-sighted Soph more who registered for Zoology I "istead of Geology I made a grfcat Intake, a very great mistake indeed 1 ALL-CLASS BASKET BALL TEAM PICKED HOLDING, CUMMINS, COFFEY, LITTLE AND MRUCHISON FIRST CHOISE An old basketball man, a good play er who thoroughly knows the game and who has witnessed practically all the inter-class games, but who, on ac count of his relation to some of the players, has requested that his name be temporarily withheld, has given out the names of the players who, in his opinion, should compose the "Car olina all-class team." "C" Holding, law, is first choice for a forward position with "Pat" Cum mins closely following. While Hold ing has been criticised for individual playing, this was perhaps more the fault of his team-mates than of him self because his team never practised enough to develop any sort of team work. "Pat" Cummins, Junior, was un doubtedly the mainstay of the cham pionship team. His consistent floor work, accurate shooting, and general ship of the Junior team have stood out from the beginning of the season. For substitute forward, there is little to choose between Boren, Soph omore, and Raper, Junior. Raper is the more sensational shot, but Boren (Continued on page three) APRIL 23RD DATE FOR HIGH SIHCOL MEET April 23d has been set as the date for the fifth annual high school ten nis tournament and the eighth an nual high school track meet, accord ing to information received from E.

DI SOCIETY DISCUSSES IMMIGRATION QUESTION OF IMMIGRATION QUESTION Last Saturday night, by an almost unanimous vote, a resolution that the Di Society should go on record as favoring the adoption of a policy by the United States of compelling ev ery foreign immigrant, upon his en trance to this country, to take an J oath that he will become an Ameri can citizen as soon as he is able to meet the qualifications was defeated.

TICKET Believing that it is interpreting the will of the campus in respect as to who shall hold the state offices for the next four years, the Tar Heel is publishing in this issue Carolina's favorite and all-state sons who have announced themselves as candidates for the State offices. The ticket as published in this issue is not com plete, due to the fact that all of the candidates have not announced themselves as yet. Among: the most prominent who have not de finitely announced their candidacies but who will do so in the next issue of the Tar Heel are: Hon. William Stanly Bernard, Hon. Lee Raper; Hon. Robert Lawson, Hon. Cunningham Branson, Major-General Thomas J. Brown, of Brown's Army, Judge Brockwell, and Hon. E. R. Rankin. Politicians well posted, state that a combination is feared between (the gubernatorial land Commissioner of Agriculture candidates. Gossip around Alumni 12, headquarters of Dud Carroll, indicates the possible contest of that office with the Right Honorable Horace Williams, member of the legislation from Perdunk. When interviewed by a reporter last night, Booker, running mate of Pickard, stated that the platform of the party was Pike's Peak or Bust. The next issue of the Tar Heel is feverishly awaited for by the entire faculty and student body. Dialectic Society Debaters Chosen In the preliminaries held February 20th to select the Di Debaters for the coming inter-societl debates, F. A. Cresette and H. L. Kiser, with S. O. Bondurant as alternate, were chos en from the Sophomores, and S. C. Hunt and W. C. Mitchell, with J. G. Gullick as alternate, from the Fresh men. The other men out for the con test were I. W. Cashatt and A. W. Staley for the Sophomores and G. H. Lennon and R. L. Lankford for the Freshmen. The final debates will be held on March 13th in the society halls. The query is, "Resolved, That Article X of the original League of Nations Covenant should be adopted without reservations or amendments by the United States." The Di Freshmen will uphold the affirmative of the proposition against the Phi Freshmen in the Di hall; and the Phi Sopho mores will uphold the same side against the Di Sophomores in the Phi hall. Each affirmative remains in its own hall. These debates will take the place of the regular order of exercises in both societies on this night. GARDNER MAKES PLEA FOR EDUCATION DELIVERS STRONG PLEA FOR A GREATER NORTH CAROLINA FOR IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION Equality of Opportunity is True Con ception of Industrial Democracy Speaking to a full house composed of students and a few townspeople last Wednesday night in the Gerrard Hall, Lieut.-Gov. O. Max Gardner made a strong plea for "Life More Abuindant for North Carolina." "If I were called upon to write the platform of my party," said the speaker, "I would make the keynote ring with an expression of challenge for life life more abundantly. Why do we spend money for education, so cial service, public health and better roads? Mainly to give the people of our state life more abundant." Declaring that illiteracy is hold ing North Carolina back, Mr. Gard- nex gave uguics euuwiiig me Slate of affairs and the small amount of money spent to remedy ; the matter. He said that many ballots of unedu cated voters are cast in ignorance, and if we continue to neglect educa tion ' of these people we cannot es cape evil. The life of the average man is the barometer of the state, ac-' cording to the speaker. Moon-light schools and the compulsory school law have done fine work, but the sons of Carolina 'must line up against the problem. 4 . "It was ignorance " which nailed Jesus Christ to the cross; Bolshevism is ignorance in flames. As sons of the University I ask you to take up the torch," continued the speaker. aiaa uaiuiivi oiaivru uiatt tic wdo ill lavor oi restricting immigration ior five years, of imprisoning all unde sirables, of full and effective enforce ment of the. compulsory school law, of Americanizing all citizens, and of giving every person his rights ac (Continued on page six) Faculty Committee Urges Students To Use Better English i The Faculty of the University urges the students to bear in mind the following points: (1) They are expected to pay careful attention to their use of Eng lish riot only in the courses in Eng lish but in all courses. They should apply to every piece of written work every report, thesis, quiz, examina tion, etc the knowledge they have acquired through their training in English composition. (2) Knowledge not applied is scarcely worth having. If the habit of writing correctly and effectively, acquired in Freshman English, is not maintained, much of the energy de voted to that course was waste en ergy. If a habit of slovenly think ing and slovenly writing is allowed to develop, the student will find that, all his work in all his courses will suffer, and that when he leaves the University he will be unable to make the proper use of his education. The man who does not express himself intelligently is seriously handicapped, in college and out of it. (3) A committee of the Faculty has been appointed to supervise the writing of students in all their courses. It will examine work done in any department, and will expect students whose use of English i3 hab itually negligent to take the course known as English 2, a one-term course in composition, without credit. This course is intended to afford such students the training of which they have shown their need. Student will also be permitted to take this course voluntarily (without credit), on application to the committee, nro- vided that the committee, after ex amining their work, believes that they need it. The initiative, in fW words, may lie either with the com mittee or with the student. (4) Students are freelv invited to discuss their work with the chair- (Continued on page three)
