WILDE'S PLAY BE GIVEN MARCH 1 AND 2 flFALTH SITUATION PERMITS GIVING OF PLAY AT THIS DATE The Carolina Playmakers' attrac tion of the winter quarter, "The Im portance of Being Ernest," by Oscar Wilde, will be staged Monday and Tuesday, March 1st and 2d, in the Community Playhouse, at 8:30 p.m., if the health authorities think that the "flu" situation ban can be raised by this time. - It will be remembered that this production was originally scheduled for February 20th and 21st but the influenza epidemic necessitated its postponement. Since then the re hearsals have continued as before, under the direction of Professor Frederick H. Koch, assisted by Mrs. Paul J. Weaver and Mr. Baker. The Playmakers announce that re hearsals on a program of one-act plays, written in English 31, will commence as soon as the present at traction has been staged, and that should there be a demand for a repe tition of "The Importance of Being Earnest" that it will be given in the outdoor theatre in Battle Park some time in the spring. ALL-CLASS BASBET- BALL TEAM PICKED (Continued from page one) has shown lots of the old fight and played a very consistent . floor game, Coffey, Junior center, has not only outjumped, but he has also outplayed all the other class centers. He has been handicapped in the last few games by a bad ankle, but even this handicap has not kept him from hold ing his own. Of the guards "B" Little, Sopho more, is easily first choice, having scored in every game as many as double the number of points caged by his opponent. He is a close guard, plays a consistent passing game, and his ability to cage the leather is pos sibly unrivalled by any other class player. j Murchison, the other Sophomore guard, would best fill the other guard's place. He is pei-haps the fastest man on any of the class teams, is a hard worker, and his all-round playing, both offensive and defensive, has contributed much to the standing of his team in the championship se ries." ' "Fats" Fulton, Junior, who, by his speedy (floor work and close guarding has featured in several games comes hext in order for a defensive position. ! It is not possible with our present buildings and equipment to meet the demands of the youth of North Car olina for a university education. If we are to keep them from going to other states for this training, early provision must be made for additions .to our plant. Among the most urgent needs are the following: Four dor mitories, 125 students each; Recita tion Building; Geology Building; Law Building; Administration Building; Pharmacy Building; Addition to the Dining Hall; Departmental Equp ment; Remodelling the South, Old East, Old West, New East, New West Buildings; Adequate bathing and toil ;et facilities; Building and additional fields for physical training; Lauridry Faculty houses; Woman's Building. . The attached balance sheet and schedules are made to conform, as far as possible with the standard entries recommended by the Carnegie Foundation, in order to facilitate com parison with other institutions. : Inter-class track and field meets will be held, also inter-class relay, races. It is also hoped to run off inter-dormitory relay races and track and field competitions. Also inter class baseball league. Committee Refuses Sophs Second Game The Athletic Committee of the Cabinet in unanimously refusing to grant the petition of the Sophomore team for a second . game with the Law School based its decision on the following reasons. . In petitioning the .committee for a second game the manager of the Sophomore team based his request on two contentions. 1st. That the Sophomore inter preted rule number five of basketball rules laid down by the committee for the governing of class basketball to entitle them to five minutes at end of game in which to play off the tie. 2d. That very few of the fouls made during the game were called, thus claiming that the game was not played according to the regular rules. In taking up contention one the committee holds that the contention is not valid in the face of rule five which states that only in the case of a championship game shall the tie be played off, otherwise in a tie game one point goes to both teams. Al though the committee is aware of the regular rule in basketball which pro vides for the extra five minutes in which to play off the tie, it holds that rule five is not rendered invalid by the above regulation since in the conduct of class basketball the com mittee has seen fit to formulate and enforce rule five in order to run off at scheduled time all basketball games that were scehduled for the same night on the same floor. In taking up contention two the committee is of the opinion that this contention in so far as sanctioning the violation of the rule pertaining to the calling of fouls, is not valid. The committee recognizes that the game was played wrong on account of the failure to call fouls, yet it holds that the Sophomore team sanc tioned this violation by playing the game to a finish and not entering a protest until the Law School had tied the score and the game was over. The Sophomore team was aware of the violation of the rule from the very start because they saw that fouls were not being called and later on in the game the referee told the man ager that fouls were not being called. The committee holds that the con tention of the sophomore team on. this point is invalid since they had sanc tioned the violation of the rule by playing fully aware of that violation. The manager of the Sophomore team, testifying before the committee, stat ed that if the Sophomore team had won the game they would not have protested the violation of the rule. For the above reasons the commit tee has seen fit not to grant the petition of the Sophomore team. Athletic Committe, Campus Cabinet.

Influenza Situation Rapidly Improving No new cases of influenza have been reported in the infirmary since February 20th. There are two con valescent cases and one with a tem perature of 100.

Q)zfiif)iti GET IT AT High School Basketball Rales Announced : The Bureau , of Extension has) re cently sent out an announcement of the rules for the state high school basketball championship. Owing to the closing of the schools as a result of the influenza epidemic, the sched ules of the different quints have been interrupted. However, it is probable that the championship game between the East and West will be staged in Bynum Gym. about March 12th. The committee in charge of plans for the contest is composed of N. W. Walker, as chairman; E. R. Rankin, as secretary; C. T. Woollen, L. E. Bond and Joe Person. These men make plans for the arrangement of championship games, the transporta tion of the teams to Chapel Hill, and their accommodation while here. Any basketball team representing any high school that has played and won up to and including February 28th, as many as three games from teams representing schools of similar rank and shall have lost none, or shall have played as many as four games with teams representing schools of similar rank and won seventy-five per cent of them, shall be eligible to enter the championship series, provided the manager shall, by February 29th, not ify the committee of his desire to en ter the contest and' shall send a rec ord of games played. , Winston-Salem High School won the state championship three out of the five years played. The Twin City boys won the first series played in 1915, the one of 1917, and . that of 1919. Durham won' the other two years when the series was pilayed.

Boyce reviewed the life of Louis Agaissiz and W. H. Butt gave a short sketch of James D. Danna. Profes sor Cobb spoke brifly of Agaissiz's work as an explorer and teacher, and of Dana's work on volcanoes and on' Coral Islands, begun as naturalist to the Wilke's Exploring Expedition in 1838 and thoroughly surveyed by a visit to the South Seas in 1890. 1 ( Mr. Seton Thompson, the natural ist, will lecture here : shortly. The quiet beauty of his surroundings should inspire him to a noble effort. Wouldn't it be a wise move to en act a campus law limiting the use of Battle Park to not more than five initiations a night, with the further restriction tha not more han one or ganizaion initiate at the same hour? It would at least prevent the initia tion of some poor neophyes into more than one organization at a time.'
