ATHLETIC COURTESY AND LACK OF IT Several hundred students will go to Greensboro Saturday to witness the annual baseball contest with Virginia . A Carolina-Virginia con test in anything has come to be recognized by us as ;a supreme event in our intercollegiate relations; if we's on the Tar Heel staff we speak of the "annual classic." No doubt as our intercollegiate activity expands we will some day speak with "trembling voices of the "coming parchesi - classic," or - the "great annual dominoes classic between ' the ancient rivals." But we are looking a little too far ahead. In regard to the "baseball classic:" Those of the student body that goes to . Greensboro will not see the Tar Heel until the game is over, but this opinion relates more to the Monday game. On Monday we become the hosts of the : Virginia team, the second time ' this year a Virginia athletic team has visited Chapel HilV The conduct of the student body in the Thanksgiving football game caused thousands of visitors to leave Chapel Hill with a very defi nite impression of the fineness of our sportsmanship. It was the real proof to all the state that Carolina's clean ness in athletics was all that was claimed of it. In baseball this year, there has been a regretable tendency on the part of a few rabid "fans" to jeer the other team when decisions were protested, or when some contro versy arose. This is due perhaps to a current helief that the baseball fan is a privileged being and that everything may be pardoned to his enthusiasm. But our athletic relations must be respected. A dozen men guilty of discourtesy to a visiting team can do much to impair the athletic repu tation of a student body of 1,400 men. If this editorial comes home to such a man, remember that you are not giving the University or the student body a square deal. We're not "rooting" for a profes sional team, but for our chosen University representatives. We can't, therefore, adopt professional . "root ing" tactics. Remember the University always. It becomes a duty, as University representatives, to conduct ourselves in such a way that Carolina will not suffer. In connection with this many of us were this week treated to the unpleasant spectacle of a visiting team which, although beating us, and winning decisively, still took victory with a sorry display of manners. In fairness to the students who accompanied that team, it must be said that their conduct was com mendable. It is unfortunate that the Jeering of a team that was being defeated came front the" players' bench of the victors. Carolina has no meeting ground with that kind of spirit. The time has been when such conduct was con sidered a fitting display of "pep," but in a broader and finer concept of athletic courtesy here, we know that respect to the visitors is as essential as support to . our team. We learned: the bitter lesson of accepting defeat without wrining in our annual pilgrimages to Richmond, where for eleven years we were beat by Virginia. May it never be said of us that we do not know how to win with , decent respect toward our opponents?. Parker Speaks to ihe Dialectic Society At the regular meeting of the Di society last Saturday night' the mem bers were diverted in an unusual way from the ordinary program. J. J. Parker, republican candidate for governor, made a short talk to the society. The society met at the early date of 7:00 P.M. in order to finish with the regular program in time for the members to adjourn to Gerrard hall to hear the speech of Parker before the student body at 8:30. The regular program, consist ing of a short discussion upon the atopic ot the governor's having the veto power, was dispensed with in short order and at about 7:45 the gubernational candidate was ushered into the hall by Mr. Mobley, accom panied by Dr. H. H. Williams and President Chase. The speaker was introduced by L. H. Hodges, of Leaksville, who was a visitor on the Hill last week end. The introduction included mention of some of the honors which Parker attained while here in the University, among which were the presidency of ,Phi Beta Kappa, the presidency of the senior class, the presidency of the Di society, and numerous other honors. .Mr. Parker then spoke for about fifteen minutes to the society of the benefits and advantages which he derived from society work while in college, and upon some of the cus toms and history of the society. At jthe conclusion of the talk the society adjourned almost in a body to Gerrard hall to hear the guber national speech. Miss Louise Venable was hostess at : a vef y ' delightfur 5 dance last Saturday evening at the Gorgon's Head Lodge, given Jn honor of Miss Mary Minor, of Asheville, to the senior class. Among the ladies present were Miss ; Mary Minor, guest of honor, Misses Curtis Hen derson, Mary Patterson, Vera Pritch- ard, Lina Pruden, Aline Hughes, Elizabeth Taylor, Lou Shine, Adeline Denham, Virginia Bradford, Doro thy Foltz, Mildred Sherrill, and Miss Pollock of Chapel Hill, and Miss Alice Webster, of Norfolk, Va. Punch and sandwiches were served between dances. Music was fur nished by a local colored orchestra, which was varied by selections by some of the musically inclined dan cers themselves. WANT 25 CAROLINA MEN TO ATTEND THE NEXT BLUE RIDGE MEETING CONFERENCE IN WESTERN N. C HAS AN INTERESTING HISTORY Efforts are now being made to get twenty-five men from, the University to attend the Southern Student Con ference to be held at Blue Ridge, June 15 to 24. The cottage owned by the University and the State Normal will accommodate this num ber. The following men have already signified their intention to attend the conference: Beemer Harrell, Scrubby Reeves, Dounel Von Noppen, Charles Phillips, Samuel Willis, Ben Cone, Pat Cummings, and Bobby Wunsch. Every school in the ifouth Jias been invited to send a delegation to Blue Ridge this summer. Last year the state of Tennessee had 158 men at the conference, 38 of whom were from the University of Ten nessee. The total attendance in 1919 was 568 delegates and 56 college professors, and it is hoped this year to have an attendance of 700. The first part of the morning at Blue Ridge ia spent in bible study, social service discussions, and Y. M. C. A. methods. Many very able men make platform addresses each year. In the afternoon the whole program consists of recreation. At Blue Ridge there is a gymnasium, ' swim ming pool, baseball ground, eight tennis courts, two volley ball courts, and miles of mountain trail. There are 1,911 acres of land owned by Blue Ridge, while one of the moun tain peaks is 6,811 feet high. Contests between the colleges form an important part of the recreation program. There -, is keen rivalry among all the college representatives to win the championship titles in the national sports. A year before last Carolina's representatives were vic torious over Virginia in all forms of athletics. Meal time furnishes an unusual spectacle at Blue Ridge. During the meals there is singing and the waiters have the habit of delivering humorous sketches as they bring in the food. There is also community singing every night in the Robert E. Lee Memorial Hall. All the student publications of the different colleges in the south are brought down to Blue Ridge. Many valuable things are gained by a comparison of these different publications. The daily schedule of the Southern Student. Conference is as follows: 6:30 A.M. Rising Bugle. 7:30 A.M. Breakfast. - 8:30 A.M. Bible Classes. 9:30 A. M. Discussion Period, Y. M. C. A.

Gym Team Does Circus Stunts For Raleigh Populace ' Last week end the Carolina gym nasium team made its initial ap pearance off the Hill. It went to Raleigh to help the Raleigh shriners with their society circus. A good many colleges were represented, Trinity gave an exhibition with the Indian clubs and on the horse. N. C. State put on a living statuary act that was beautiful, Wake Forest had a spring board act that was spectacular and they ended the circus with a Roman ladder act that was pleasing. The Meredith girls demon strated their ability to sing and it was no mere demonstration either. The Raleigh ' "Y" and the Raleigh high were there in members, and no circus is complete without clowns! and the clowns were all out there. The Carolina gymnasium team came in for a little more than they expected. They were slated for an act on the mats and one on the horizontal bar, but owing to sickness in the ranks of the Y. M. C. A. seniors they put on a very good parallel bar exhibition, extempore in place of a dumb bell act by the m. oeuiuis, iiiis iuuiuuug act Luun. well with the audience, the boys got away with some stuff that was out of the ordinary if not sensational. . Their act on the horizontal bar was very good, they did some difficult stunts that' opened the eyes of the spectators, they were amazed to see "Shorty" Spruill push up to a hand stand on the small horizontal and then cut through. Percy Lynch with his spectacular dive off the bar and Joe Person with his fly away off the giant cinch came in for their applause. The whole team made quite a hit. This was the first "Society Cir cus and it is going to be an annual affair; it was more than successful. It owes quite a bit of its success to the college gymnasts who in a large measure were responsible for the high class entertainment that spec tators got. NEW BOOKS Robert H.

The ditches on the western por tion of the campus which . were dug some six months ago, are being filled in now. The ditches, according to Mr. Pickard, would have been filled in long ago if crushed rocks could have been obtained. It is through the pipes in ditches that heat (?) has ibaen going to the library and the new dormitories. These pipes have been enclosed in large terra cotta pipes packed with asbestos. The ' terra cotta pipes have been made waterproof at the joints, and rocks have ' been laid around the line to act as a conductor to keep the water off the pipe3 when i'; rains. . A club was formed last Saturday night, immediately after , J. J. Parker's speech in Gerrard hall, by the .republican students of the Uni versity. The purpose of the club is to further, in every way possible, Mr. Parker's campaign for the gov ernorship. Mr. Kennedy was elected as president of the club; Mr. Boman as vice-president, and Mr. Brantley as secretary. There is great significance attached 1 to the organization this week of an Alumni council. Trinity has needed an active organization of this nature for years. The immediate purpose of the council will be to furtner and complete the gymnasium plan, and get work started at once on the con struction of the memorial. The Trin ity Chronicle.
