FINLEY DELIVERS UNIVERSITY SERMON On Sunday March 21st in Gerrard Hall, Dr. K. G. Finlay, of Golumbia, S. C, delivered the University ser mon for March. Dr. Finlay is an im pressive speaker and made a very favorable impression upon his audi ence. Dr. Finlay took as his text the fa miliar words, "Whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it, but who soever shaJl lose his life shall shall find it." ' All living things are en gaged in a quest for life. The pine tree on the mountain crag, the flower in the field, and the crouching wild beast each is seeking life in its own way, Every type of. mankind is en gaged in the same pursuit and is seeking the same goal, which is life. The speaker emphasized the word "his" in the text. The self-centered man, the one who is concerned only with his own interests, who moves in his own little world rather than in the great world of humanity this is the person who shall lose his life. His attitude is one of demand rather than f service. As the best illustration of the meth od of gaining life, Dr. Finlay cited the mother who loses her life in her devotion to those who are dear to J"er and thereby finds her life. The teacher is another example. We find 11 going on all around us. The gold ei rule, instead of being impractical, J the most practical of all things. he speaker closed with an appeal to tne younir men tr mnVo t.lii a wise nnrl valuable precept of Jesus a part of the ir own experience. Wilton McLean Commerce Speaker 'The School of Commerce announces a lecture on April 1st at eight-thirty by Hon. A. W. McLean on the sub ject of "Training for Foreign Trade." This lecture is another of the series of lectures given by the School of Oommerce for the benefit of its stu dents. Mr. McLean is especially suit ed to deliver this lecture, having been dirctor of the War Finance Coopera tion, an organization which controlled all invstments during the war; in ad dition, Mr. McLean is one of the most successful business men of the state, owing textile and farming interests in different parts of the state. He is also connected with the banking in terests of the state, and is one of the trustees of the University. It is quite an opportunity to have the privilege a man occupying such a strategic po sition in industrial and governmental affairs.

VARSITY BALL TEAM GETTING INTO SHAPE ENTIRE SQUAD SHOWING UP WELL WITH PLACES CONTESTED SCHEDULE PRACTICALLY FINAL Ten Games Will Be Played On the Hill. First Two With Oak Ridge and Durham During the last few weeks the baseball squad has shown a very marked improvement, and it looks like Coach Lourcey's outfit is going to be a regular nine that will repre sent Carolina better than any team we have put out for; quite a while. Coach has been putting his men through a hard workout each after noon that the weather has permitted, and he is very rjapidly developing team-work. This week Captain Feim ster has been in charge of the prac tices, since Coach Lourcey has been compelled to be off the Hill during the time. Each afternoon he has picked two teams from members of the squad and has gone through a match game" in order to get his men ac customed to - working together. The entire squad : is showing up well. Joyner, Wilson, Llewelyn, Swift, Fields, Alley, John Wilson, Hester, and Health aie out for the mound position, while Younce, Rob erts, Lewis, Dorsett, l and Grissette are afte rthe other end of the bat tery. At first, Baker, Bason, and Abernathy are showing up well. This contest is probably the most closely watched of any on the team, and either of the three men are very strong possibilities. McLean and Coope rare doing good work at sec ond, while Milton, Robbins, and Pharr are holding down short very credit ably. Captain Feimster and Kirk man, an old letter mm of the 1917 team, are on the hot corner. In the outfield are Saunders, who won his letter last year; Lewis, also a letter man; Stewart, a member of the 1917 team, who is expected to do some bril liant work this year; Carmichael, Douglas, Graham, and Proctor, the last two members of former squads. Besides these men there are a num ber of other aspirants who are doing good work. The schedule which Manager White has just announced as practically fi nal is one of the heaviest in the his tory of the institution, and it pro vides for games with some of the country's biggest teams. Manager White has succeeded in obtaining (Continued on page six) Fire Alarm Placed In Phillips Hall Mr. C. T. Woolen, business man ager of the University, has just an nounced that the new fire-alarm sys tem would be installed within a few weeks' time. The new system is an electric siren which will scream forth its weird sound from the top of Phil lips Hall. This siren is of 110 volts capacity and is connected by remote control of switches. For many years the church-bells have served as the fire-alarm system for the University and the town. This method has been resorted to for many years, and it has proved to be a very poor way to summon quick assistance to a fire. Another striking advantage of the new system is that the siren will be .connected with four different switches. One of these is to be lo cated at the central office, and the remaining three will be at the first station, the campus, and the eastern end of town. It is rumored that fire chief Burton will become actively engaged in fire fighting when the new system is in stalled. His brave action in subduing the fiame3 at Swain Hall on the night of the Carolina Smoker has been a source of much comment on the cam pus. The other brave men, under the authority of assistant chief Penny, have already pledged their support to chief Burton. Suggestions are also being made that the fire fighters se cure another engine-pumping outfit, but chief Burton insists that the en gine pump sed by his force on the night of the smoker is the most ef fective in the country at the present time. Playmakers Hold Author 8 Reading The Carolina Pluymakers held their cstomary authors reading thursday evening in Peabody hall, at which the follow plays were read: "The Voice of God," a mountain missionary play, by Sylvia Latshaw; "Dod Gast Ye Both," a mountain comedy, by Hu bert C. Heffner; "White Dresses.," a play dealing with the race problem, by Paul Green; "Moo Kow Moo," a Carolina initiation farce, by Wm Royal and E. E. White; and "The Bell Buoy," a sea play centering around a portrait, by Dougald McMil lian. Three plays will be selected from this list for presentation and work on casting of the three will be gin at once. Tryouts for these plays will be conducted as usual. The Play. makers expect to present this pro gram of plays soon after the Easter vacation, a definite date will be an nounced later. INAUGURATION PLANS ARE BEING PERFECTED PROMINENT EDUCATORS AND LEADERS ARE ON PROGRAM Invitations, accompanied by a re quest to send a delegate, to the inau guration of Harry Woodburn Chase as president of the Universty of North Carolina on April 28th, have been mailed this week to 264 colleges and universities, 57 learned societies, 14 professional schools, and ... educa tional boards, it was learned from Lenoir Chambers, director of publicity for the Universtiy.

GOLDEN FLEECE TAPS MARCH 30 RADICHAL CHANGES IN THE ANNUAL "TAPPING" CEREMONIES GOVERNOR BIGKETT TO BE HERE Elaborate Program To Be Carried Out in Gerrard Hall Radical changes in the annual "tap ping" ceremonies of the Senior Or der of the Golden Fleece will be in augurated Tuesday night, March 30th, at eight-thirty o'clock . ni Gerrard Hall, when the newly-elected mem bers of the order will be "tapped." Governor Bickett will be present for the occasion and will speak on the subject: "College Life." President Chase ' will introduce the Governor. E. E. White will preside for the Gold-, en Fleece and will briefly state the general purpose and meaning of the order to the student body. The ceremony of the "tapping" has heretofore come during the Junior Week festivities and the usual date has been on the night of the Senior or Junior stunts, ocning during the intermission to the acts. The change this year has been made mainly be cause the present members of the Golden Fleece feel that a time should be chosen when the entire student body is 6n the Hill and can be present to witness the ceremony. Large num bers of students usually leave the Hill during Junior Week and a compar atively small proportion of the stu dent body witnesses the selection of its most representative men. The order of the program will be as follows: Talk by E. E. White, repre senting the Golden Fleece; intro ductory Address, by President H. W, Chase; Address of Governor Bickett; followed by the tapping ceremony. UNIVERSITY ENLARGES GRADUATE SCHOOL The University i3 enlarging the Graduate School, and are offering eighteen fellowship for the year 1920- 1921. The fellowships are offered m the deparments of Botany, Chemistry, English, Geology, History and Gov ernment, Mathematics, and Romance Languages. The stipend attached to these fellowships is $500, with free tuition. Each Fellow is expected to give a limited portion of his time to instruction or such other work as may be prescribed by the department to which he is assigned. The remainder of his time is devoted to advanced study in the University as a candi date for a Graduate degree. The chief interest of a University to students outside of the state in which it is located is its Graduate School. Heretofore the Graduate School of the University has not rank ed with the undergraduate school in importance or in interest. However, there has been- a movement on foot during the past year to enlarge the graduate school which has culminated in the above offer on the part of the University. As we know the Grad uate School is backed by some of the ablest men of our faculty, and Caro lina's Gradate School may be expected to soon rank with her undergraduate departments. Physical Culture Books A re Placed In Library At Captain Brown's request a coll ection of books on physical culture has been assembled and placed at the eft of the desk in the library in the space formerly given over to books on drama and the theater. The in creased interest which is developing in the student body seems to warrant more reading matter on the subject. The books are for public inspection and may be taken out in the ordinary way for two weeks. This shelf has many of the new books on physical culture recently purchased by the li brary.
