TO THE STUDENT BODY The need of tremendously increas ed dormitory and class room accom modations is a very vital problem to all University men. The time is com ing soon when the aid and enthusiasm of each student will be needed to make plain to the leading citizens in each community, just what the Uni versity's immediate needs are. It is of importance that you keep this in mind, that you recognize the importance of your own aid. Make tentative plans now. The time is not yet ripe for the full power of our movement but we must build our plans immediately and carefully, and be ready to meet the hour when it comes. USEFUL ADVICE TO CANDI DATES Mr. O. Max Gardners' address to the student body on Wednesday night, marks the beginning of a series of addresses to be made here by all the Democratic candidates for Governor, and the Republicans, also, if they can be brought here. Thus does the Uni versity step boldly into the arena of impartial politics and gives the pleas ant challenge to these gentlemen to come here and show their wares. Not having had time to prepare our in valuable little booklet: "Handbook of Useful Information to those Gub ernatorially Inclined, Who Will Speak at Chapel Hill," we beg to herewith append a few admonitions that may be useful to them. L Remember that you are speak ing to a fair-minded, impartial group of men, who have small respect for petty appeals of a partisan nature. 2. Remember that you will be hospitably, and courteously received. whether we approve of you or not. It is therefore your own fault if you don't appear to your best advantage. 3. Tell us something we don't al ready know. We will agree quite freely that the Old North State is the peer of them all and that the labor situation is serious. But if you will come boldly forward and exhibit two or three planks out of your plat form that shows you have been doing some real thinking on your own part, we will have more respect for you, no matter if we don't all agree with you. 4. And remember lastly, gentle men, that you yourself will be either the vindication or condemnation to your claims for the Governorship. We are interested in you, the man; in the evidences of your own individuality and not in your party politics. You find us with minds open, receptive and unprejudiced; in the one brief hour that is yours before us we'll make our decision about you, and the tag we put upon you is likely to be the right ofc. Yours with kindness and friendship. The Student Body. HELP CARRY IT OUT . This week the University author ities have hands at the task of clean ing up the campus. Several weeks ago there appeared through the col umns of this paper articles pleading for a cleaner campus. Due to the efforts of the men at work now the eampus will at least present a tem porary clean look. It rests in the hands of the student body to make that cleanly aspect permanent. The way in which the student body can do this is to refrain from throwing anything on the campus which will tend to destroy this clean look. The work of the cleaning-up agencies in tself cannot last longer than a few days, but the results of it can abide with the students just as long as the students want to have a clean cam pus. Think the thing over, come out n the open and demand a clean cam pus always, and at the same time don't forget to practice what you preach. STUDENT FORUM The purpose of this article is to call attention to the uncleanliness of the dishes used at Swain Hall. Everyone who boards at Swain can testify to the fact that the dishes are not thoroughly washed. Very often there are streaks or , films of dirt upon the plats, silverware, and glass es. It is a very common observance to see an early arrival examine all the plates at his table in an effort to get a clean one. Furthermore the dishes used in the infirmary are mix ad with all the other dishes used at Swain. Of course they are sterilized, but in the interest of good health they should not be mixed with the others, for it is never known when a germ will escape. Swain Hall is not as clean as it should be. Manifestly, this is a" condition that should not exist. We are not fanatics sn the subject, but we do believe that there is much truth in the old saying "that cleanliness is next to godli ness." over seven nunarea men board at Swain and every possible precaution should be taken to pre serve their health. Dirty dishes are not conducive to good health. Were it not for the fact that the majority of the men are in excellent physical shape there would no doubt be many cases of sickness resulting from this condition. If the dishwashing ma chine is not adequate for the proper cleansing of all the dishes, another should be procured, or if they can not be cleaned by a machine they should be washed by hand. In a mat ter of this kind there is no middle ground. The fact that some of the dishes are clean is no excuse for the rest being dirty. All should be clean and absolutely clean. It gives a man a bad appetite to have to eat out of dirty dishes. , In connection with the cleaning up of the campus, Swain Hall should also be cleaned up. C. T. Boyd. Debative Record One To Be Proud Of Since the inauguration of intercol legiate debating with other institu tions of the country the University of North Carolina has established an enviable record, a record that is as good we will venture to say, as that of any other university or college in the United States. Carolina began her intercollegiate debating in" 1897, the year that she debated the Urn versity of Georgia. ' She lost in the first encounter with the "Crackers," but in the two debates in the years 1898 and 1899 she came back and settled that defeat by winning them both. Two debates were held in 1900, one with Vanderbilt and the other with Georgia. Carolina won both of them. The following year the same institutions were met, and this time Georgia won. In the debates the next year the result of the proceding year was repeated, Carolina winning from Vanderbilt and losing to Georgia. Johns Hopkins entered the ranks of Carolina's opponents. This was the only debate of the year and Carolina carried it off. Georgia was again vanquished in 1904. Washington and Lee, who by the way, is Caro lina's rival this year, won the .con test the next year. Georgia also won this year, but was defeated the fol lowing year. Four debates were held in 1907, Carolina winning two (with Virginia and Georgai)), and losing two (to Pennsylvania and George Washington). 1908 was one of the best years that Carolina ever had in the forensic art. George Washing ton, Virginia, Georgia, and Pennsyl vania were all disposed of in short order. Carolina again split even in the debates of 1909. She lost to Vir ginia and Georgia, and won from Pennsylvania and Tulane. Three de bates were held in 1910, Carolina' op ponents this time being Penn., Wash ington and Lee, and Georgia, and North Carolina won all three of them. Two out of three was the percentage in 19'1. Penn and Georgia bit the dust, while Virginia rallied and won another, this one being her second victory. Pennsylvania, Tulane, Van derbilt, in one-two-three order bowed to the Carolina orators in 1912. Vir ginia and Johns Hopkins did the same in '13. Last year they succeded in avenging this defeat, although the car bsfore they had followed the ecord of 1913, by being defeated bath at Charlottsville and Baltimore. This year Carolina takes on Johns Hopkins, one of her old rivals, and Washington and Lee, whom she has not met since 1910. Virginia dropped mt of the Carolina-Hopkins-Virginia triangle, and W. and L. is filling the vacancy. K Hooverites Form Hoover Club That a man who is liberal in his political principles and ideals and is a progressive, forward-looking Dem ocrat; that a man who is endowed with the sanity and poise necessary to solve the great and momentous tasks now facing the nation; that a man who although having a party platform and the determination to carry it through is above the narrow and petty partisanship; and above all that a man who is dominated by a love and passion for public service is needed for the next President and that Herbert Hoover is the only man in America who symbolizes all of these qualities is the balief set forth in a letter to Hoover from the Hoover Club in Chapel Hill, urging him to an nounce his candidacy for President on the Democratic ticket. The ; names of practically every member of the fajulty, together with those Of the more influential of the townspeople, are signed to the letter. The club was organized on February second with Dr. J. G. Hamilton, professor of history, as chairman, and numbers among its members men who belong to both the Democratic and Republican parties. These men are laying aside party differences for the moment, and look to Hoover as the man whom they think can best solve the problems of international policies and economic reconstruction, and can reform the national govern ment. Lawyers And Soph Tie Juniors Champions Last Saturday night the Law School tied the Sophomore class in a game of basketball played in the gymnasium. The score stood 23 to 23 when the game ended. Line-up: Law School Sophomores Curry Transon ,.- ' Center Holding Peacock Left Forward Tomlin Bourne Right Forward Proctor Davidson Left Guard Whitener Murchison Right Guard Substitutes Law School: Llewel lyn for Curry; Bardin for Whitener Nichols for Holding. Sophomores Abernethy for Murchison; Kendrick A large number of Sophomores were present who viewed the game with much enthusiasm, for this game was to determine whether or not the Sophomores would be the champions According to Captain" Brown's ar rangement, each game won by a team was counted as two points, and each game tied was counted as one point for each team. Before the Sopho mores played the Law School, the Juniors were two points ahead, and since this game was tied, it netted the Sophomores but one point. The Juniors were thereby pronounced the champions by a margin of only one point..-'";. . ' ' KAMPUS KARAKTERS The Debater Oft in the hallowed stillness of the dewey night, while the moon rides high in the sky like a golden chariot, and Morpheus benignly reigns with his peaceful sway; there comes a note -of discord through the aged grove, a sound of wailing across the campus as of some poor lost soul pleading with his captors while the fumes of burning sulphur rise thick from the bottomless pit below. The Debater speaking in the great hall heeds not slumber or the conserva tion of the controlled fire snatched from the clouds. He proclaims aloud in no uncertain accents the offense against humanity and high heaven itself when the unregenerate mortal stoops to crush the pearly flakes into deadly agents of destruction to smite the verdant posteriority of the insig nificant neophyte at the seat of learnr mg. He speaks and in very truth his words are as a rushing mighty wind, whence it cometh or whither it goeth we know not, but by its incessant bombarding we are overwhelmed. With a wave of his hand all argu ment to the contrary is discarded and all oppposers proved without the shadow of a doubt to be utterly void of reason and having in them no vest age of truth whatsoever. i T p- Jill:..., ff Mill tofe ' II Mil thrMn Soma Ortiet f1 You rest the assurance of good service on our policy of GUARANTEED SATISFACTION PRITCHARD A LIMITED NUMBER of bound copies of The Tar Heel for 1919-20 are still UNENGAGED Applications for these will be re ceived and filed in order. Address THE MANAGER Carolina Smoker To Be Given March 9th On March 9th, in Swain Hall, the annual Carolina Smoker will be held. According to the committee arrang ing the smoker, it will be the biggest, best, most stupendous thing of its kind ever held on the "Hill."

Booker will act as toast master on the occasion. Several toasts will be given by the student celebrities, notable among whom is Thomas Clayton Wolfe. The co-eds, according to last re ports, wil be well represented and are working on a program which is ex pected to add a novel feature to the occasion. Si Lucas, with his "laugh ing" trombone, will add zest and mel ody to the night. "Chick" Barton and "Buck" Wimberley will put over some high-class vaudeville juggling acts. "Mike" Newman, with a corps of well-known, musicallv-mclined. "rah rah" boys, will keep the pauses in be tween stunts alive with melody. "Ike" Brooks, the wizard of the keyboard, is expected to perform. Sim-Jim, the Tar Babv. and Satvr will all be ren- resented. Captain Browne's boxers will undoubtedly be put to shame by performances in the ring who will appear. The Satvr3. actors with a world wide reoutation. will Droduce some form of amusement. A jazz band is practicing every evening in prepara tion for the occasion. The smoker will be brought to a close bv a review. the different narts of wViiVri mill Ka composed of individuals who will ' represent, as far a3 possible, every I type a3 well as every organization. !
