ANCIENT HISTORY The following is taken from Dr. Win. Hooper's address, "Fifty years Bince" delivered in 1859. There being but three teachers in the college (president, professor of languages and tutor), the Seniors and Juniors had but one recitation per day. ' yu wsk to know the ordinary bill of fare at the stew ard's hall fifty years ago? Coarse cornbread "was the staple food. At dinner the only meat was a fat mid ling of bacon, surmounting a pile of cole worts; and the first thing after grace was said (and sometimes be fore) was for one man by a single horizontal sweep of his knife to sep arate the ribs and lean from the fat, monopolize all the first to himself and leave the remainder for his fel lows. At breakfast we had wheat bread and butter and coffee. Our supper was coffee and the cold bread left from dinner, without butter. The last resort because of our hard fare at Commons was a supper at Fan Craig's. A party of some half dozen would go out and engage a supper of friend chicken, or chicken pie, bis cuit and coffee. It was awaited wfth extreme impatience, and many yawn ings and other signs of. an aching void. . . . The guests sat down at twenty-five cents per head and if you consider the leanness of our din ners at the steward's hall you will be apt to suspect that the entertain ers did not make much by that bar gain. ' Public Welfare School Added To Summer School With the co-operation and assis tance of the Southern division of the Red Cross, the University of North Carolina will place in the 1920 sum mer school a school of public wel fare, offering a general .course of twelve weeks for all kinds of social workers and a special six week's training course for North Carolina county superintendents of public wel fare. Announcement to this effect was made here by President Chase, who characterized the plans for the school 3 an important step taken by the University in keeping with the new spirit of social consciousness sweep ing North Carolina and the South "Recent social legislation in North Carolina," said President Chase, "has brought the attention of North Caro linians sharply to the widening field of social service. In keeping with that spirit the University has been planning for some time to help by offering courses for workers, broader and more definite than those offered heretofore. The Southern division of the Red Cross, which, during the war, had established schools of its own to prepare its workers for war work, still has much of the machinery of those schools, and, desiring to train workers for its own service as well as for many other kinds of social service, has decided to co-operate with the University in instituting the summer school of public welfare. It will be the only one of its kind in the South." This announcement, coming soon after the establishment of a chair of sociology by the board of trustees and following recent social service ac tivities of the University, like the state and county council of last Sep tember and many of the activities of the bureau of extension, is regarded by many persons in Chapel Hill as indicating an important new trend in the development of the Universty. It is though that it will lead to the establishment of a permanent school of public welfare. Dr. Henderson Recent Lecturer While on a recent trip North, Dr. Archibald Henderson delivered lec tures in New York, Brooklyn, and Philadelphia. In New York Dr. Hen derson lectured at Columbia Univer sity, in Brooklyn at the Brooklyn In stitute of Arts and Science. In Phil adelphia, he lectured for the Society for the Extension of University teaching. Dr. Henderson also did some research work and carried on some investigations in the libraries of Philadelphia and in the Library of Congress at Washington, D. C. Coach Frank B. Anderson an nounced yesterday that, with the be ginning of baseball practice next Monday, he would be assisted in founding the Petrel nine into shape hy Ivy B.

'THERE'S A DIFFERENCE' Always Good STIMULATING PEPIFYING EXHILARATING At founts In Bottles DI SOCIETY DISCUSSES IMMIGRATION QUESTION (Continued from page one; held and Messrs. Leatherwood, Rob bitt, Townsend, Wiles, Boyd, and Wil liams spoke on the question. The advocates of the 'proposal ar gued that some policy is necessary to prevent the indiscriminate influx of foreign immigration into America and that the proposed policy would help to solve the problem. Foreign ers who receive the benefits of our citizenship should assume some of the responsibility. Under the present system they bear no part of the burden. Only a small proportion of our foreign immigrants now take out naturalization papers. Furthermore, the immigrants themselves would be glad to take advantage of such an opportunity. The opponents of the measure urged that the unrest now prevalent in the United States is not due so much to the foreign element as to the decadence of our own institutions. A more complete Americanism should be instilled into the native-born as well as into foreigners. The prob lem cannot be solved by making them take an oath to become citizens. For the majority of them are very ignor ant and could not realize the respon sibility they would assume. Further restrictions should be placed upon foreign immigration. The society voted to hold a smoker on the night of March 6th, the last meeting before the quarterly busi ness meeting, and a committee was appointed to make arrangements. Miss Swain Is Kept Busy By Starving Multitude'. . Biscuits, biscuits, and then some biscuits; If the biscuits made at Swain Hall were put in a straight line, the length of it would be over fifty-nine miles. This line would rep resent just the biscuits made in one college year, a grand total of 1,890, 000 of them or just 7,000 each day. Aria 405,000 slices of bread help to keep these biscuits company. Oh boy. "But man cannot live on bread alone." But many other things help us in our struggle for existence at Swain Hall. We are now speaking about those tender, luscious grits. With unerring accuracy they come only twice a day, 18,990 pounds served during the college year, or 35 pounds each meal. The prospects are fine for a more popular use of them in the future. Every week thirty-five gallons of molasses are used. The scarcity of sugar has meant nothing to the Swain Hall managers. Every day 125 to 140 pounds of sugar are used. It takes 200 pounds of steak for each meal to feed the vast and un numbered horde. The same amount of stew beef is required. For some unknow reason there is a great sav ing when pork is used, as only 160 pounds are required for a meal. Did you ever think that ten bushels of sweet spuds were used for a single meal? Thirty-five gallons of fresh milk helps to make life have a whiter aspect. Four thousand eight hun dred eggs are used each month.. The approximate cost for this item alone is $260 per month. Breaking glasses and dishes is now a merry pastime in the handsome halls of Swain. Over 1,080 glasses pay the supreme penalty each month, and 25 or 30 plates are broken every day. Swain Hall is now feeding 660 boys, sixty of whom are waiters and helpers. ANNOUNCEMENT Dr. Moss, will lead bible group dis cussion in Sigma Chi hall Sunday morning at twelve-thirty oclock.

This is the week every body is beginning to look forward to iow, and the week everybody is plan ning for. Perchance there may be a ew Freshmen on the Hill who do not know about this week, it will be well to state that it is what has long been known in Carolina's history as "Junior Week." Plans are rapidly being laid to fill Junior Week with every kind of at traction to give the boys a real week of rest and enjoyment. Mr. Woollen and Manager White have gotten three baseball games on the Hill at this time. Davidson will be here on the sixth, Yale on the' seventh, and N. C. College on the eighth. These dates are definite with a possibility of the Davidson game being moved up to the fifth. Then there are the dances. They are the talk of the campus. The Junior Order of Gorgeon's Head will give its dance complimentary to the Gimghouls on Wednesday night, April the seventh. Thursday morn ing the Sophomore Order of the Min otaur gives its dance. In the after noon an informal dance will be given by the Gimghouls at their lodge and that night the Junior Prom. The Sophomore dance will be on Friday afternoon, and the German Club on Friday night. If the reports are true as to the girls that are to be here the campus will certainly be swarmed with the fair ones. Bill Neal says he's going to have all five of his up and even Baron Wolfe talks of inviting one of his over for the occasion. The class stunts, which are always a feature of the week, are now being planned for by the various commit tees. They have not done anything definite, but state that the regular stunts will be given with as high standard as ever. Dr. Howe Lectures In South Carolina A series of lectures, beginning last Tuesday and extending through Thursday, was given at the Univer sity of South Carolina this week by Dr. George Howe, dean of the Col lege of Liberal Arts of the Univer sity of North Carolina. Dr. Howe is one of the professors sent from here in the system of ex chance lecturers established some years ago by the universities of North and South Carolina, Vander bilt University, and the University of Virginia.
