CAMPUS CABINET HAS
DONE VALUABLE WORK
REORGANIZED FROM THE OLD
GREATER COUNCIL COM
' POSED OF NINE MEN
MEMBERS ELECTED BY STUDENTS
Work Done This Year, Though Quiet,
Has Been of Valuable
Service
The Campus Cabinet closed its
work in the first year of its organi
zation with an' admirable record of
success. Many things have been
accomplished by the new organiza
tion that deserves universal praise
from the student body and the Uni
versity as a whole. The Campus
Cabinet was formed from the old
Greater Council for the purpose of
doing constructive work in the Uni
versity. The plan was to have the
Cabinet open to suggestions and
- advices from the students concerning
' difficulties to be met and the needs
that are evident about the campus
and in the college. In its first year
the plan was well carried out, and
it is believed that in future years
the Campus Cabinet will exist and
thrive, continuing to do things for
the betterment of the college.
The Campus Cabinet this year
was composed of the following rep
resentative men: W. R. Wunsch,
C. R. Spruill, C. L. Harrington, John
Washburn, Edward Whitehead, John
Kerr, J. S. Massenberg, J. A.
McLean, C. R. Sumner, and W. V.
- Woodard. Each class and the pro
fessional school was represented,
together with the Y. M. C. A. and
the fraternities. These men were
elected by the student body, while
the officers are elected by the
Cabinet itself. The officers of the
Cabinet for the past year were C.
" P. Spruill; president, and J. S. Mas
senberg, secretary.
.One of the first things that the
Campus Cabinet did during the clos
ing school year was the appointment
of a committee of each dormitory,
whose duty it was to look after the
general welfare of the men rooming
in the dormitories. This meant that
the old embarrassments of no lights
in the hall, broken windows, poor
janitor service, etc.. were to an
pxtent abolished and a new comfort
in the dormitories appeared as a
result. It was the work of the
Cabinet also to head the inter-mural

Carolina Alumni
Recently Promoted
That Carolina men are leaders in
the professional world as well as in
other various fields of endeavor,
evidence is again given through the
announcement of the promotion of
Mr. W. B. Ellis, Jr., of the class of
1911, to the managership of the
Greenville Branch of the Southern
Utilities Company. Mr. Ellis, a
native of Winston-Salem, graduated
in 1911 from the engineering depart
ment of the University, and began
his career in the commercial depart
ment at the Winston-Salem Branch
in 1914, following a two-year train
ing course in the shops of the
General Electric Company, at Lynn,
Mass. Upon the outbreak of war
Mr. Ellis, then manager of the com
mercial department at Winston
Salem, entered war work,, going with
the Emergency Fleet Corporation in
a responsible capacity.
In the May issue of the Baltimore
Gas and Electric News is an article
on -Baltimore's industrial progress as
indicated by its power activities, by
M. N. Oates, also an old Carolina
man, of the class of 1914. Oates
is also engaged in engineering work
and is associated with the Baltimore
Gas and Electric Company.
Mikado Is Enjoyed
By Large Audience
Brilliant success marked the pre
sentation of the well known opera,
"The Mikado," by Carolina musical
and dramatic talent, in Memorial
Hall Friday night of last week. An
audience of students and townspeople
that practically filled Memorial Hall
was delighted in every respect with
the entertainment, and registered
applause after applause during the
course of the presentation. From
the time the opera began till the
time the curtain ws dropped for
the last time not a single hitch nor
break occurred in .the movements of
the" play. Much credit is due to the
entire organization, and especially
to Professor Weaver whose masterful
training of the Carolina talent made
the popular opera a success.
"Jimmie" Howell , as Nanki Pooh
was opposite Miss Aline Hughes as
Yum Yum, and both these amateur
artists were at their best delighting
thoroughly with their songs and
lines. But it was the same with
all the leading characters of the
play. LeGrande Everett as Pooh
Bah, the man of many offices, and
George Hunt as Pish Tish, were un
usually good, , and the songs of the
former proved a real favorite of the
opera. Charles Nichols played as
"Mikado" with real expression. But
possibly the real life and zest of
the opera, and that person who never
failed to delight with a single line,
was Isaac Newman, who so cleverly
portrayed the very difficult part of
Ko-Ko, .that amusing little "chief
executioner." A chorus of school
girls, made up by the Carolina co
eds, appearing .in a gorgeous array
of costumes, and a chorus of Nobles,
Guards, and Coolies, some of Caro
lina's best singers and Glee Club
artists, pleased ith their merry songs.
"The Mikado" is a pleasing and
amusing opera, sparkling with way
through with clever wit, and built
on a comic plot. The story opened
with the chorus of nobles, guards,
and coolies appearing and stating
the setting of the play. Then Nanki
Poo makes his appeara'nce, the dis
guised son of the king, Mikado, who
is in love with Yum Yum, a very
beautiful little girl, whose guardian
is Ko-Ko, who wants her for himself.
Ko-Ko is the chief executioner, and
he is in search of someone to exe
cute since the king has warned him
that the office will be abolished un
less it comes to some use. Ko-Ko's
right hand man is Pooh-Bah, whom
he has endowed with many offices,
and these two conspire with their
dirty work. Ko-Ko promises Nanki
Poo the hand of Yum Yum if he
will consent to his death in a month,
in order that the office of chief
executioner might still exist. The
opora ends with a revelation of whom
Nanki-Poo really is with the appear
ance of Mikado, and Ko-Ko is forced
to marry Katish, a very ugly and
undesirably creature who had set
suit against Nanki-Pooh in the early
part of the play, for coquetty with
her.

DR. CHASE ADDRESSES
STUDENTS IN CHAPEL
In Short Talk Before Student Body
For This Year He Urges Them To
Remember Two Things
President Chase in his last talk
before the student body for this
year urged them to remember two
things during this summer vacation.
The first of these ,; in Dr. Chase's
words was: "Remember that a Caro
lina man is not only a Carolina man
for nine months but for twelve
months. And wherever he goes people
are going to judge what Carolina is
by what you are and what you do.
People don't get you in nine months
but they find you out in the three
months you are at home." "Fur
ther," he added, "if U. N..C. makes
good men people judge it as a good
place. Your conduct is going to be
judged as the community from which
you come. Second: "! want every
man to come back in the fall with
fixed determination that he . is going
to be a bigger and better man next
June that he is this June. I want
him to remember that life is full of
infinite possibilities and whatever he
has done here he can redeem himself
in the eyes of the students. So," he
continued, "I want next year to be
a growth to each student intellec
tually, morally, and spiritually. Don't
set back on any little achievement
that has been yours and let others
bear the burden. Don't be content
with any success you have made
except that that success shall be
built bigger and better."
TUESDAY NIGHT BRINGS
!END TO SENIOR MEETINGS
The first, meeting, - of the ueniors
around Davie Poplar took place on
Friday night, May 28th. The arst
two meetings had been arranged for
the preceding Monday and Wednes
day nights, but on account of the
weather they had to be postponed.
At the first meeting nearly all the
seniors were present. Johnny Booker
entertained the seniors with a snappy
talk, after which smokes were passed
around. The co-eds, of course, took
a whiff. On Sunday night the
second meeting took place. At this
meeting, on account of the absence
of Dr. Wilson, Wild Bill Neal, one
of his most brilliant pupils, willingly
and effectively took his . place with
a short talk. His talk was followed
by one by Nat Mobley asking for
the resignation of the acting presi
dent, J. P. Washburn, on account of
drunkenness and disorderly conduct
on Sunday morning. The distin
guished president manifested his
willingness to accede to the request
of Mr. Mobley by delivering an
impromptu, very impromptu indeed,
address of resignation. Ben Cone
then took charge of the meeting.
Dr. Chase made a very interesting
and vital talk to the class, reviewing
the things the class had done, and
expressing his belief in the ability
of the class to accomplish things out
in life, "for after all it is the same
game," he said. On Monday night
the third meeting was held, at
which Dr. L. R. Wilson addressed
the class, pointing out the task and
duty of the members as alumni
and alumnae and what the class
could mean towards the development
of a greater University. Dr. Chase
supplemented this with a few re
marks. On Tuesday night the last meet
ing of the seniors around Davie
poplar took place. The spirit of good
fellowship ruled supreme. All pre
judice and misunderstandings, all
sorrows and regrets, were cast aside
and they were as one in spirit. That
spirit was a spirit of love for their
Alma Mater which had faithfully
sheltered and trained them for four
long years. Their's was the sorrow
of parting, of facing life in a new
world. Dr. Moss and Professor Hib
bard sustained their reputations with
their usual thoughtful and beneficial
talks.
Dr. Patterson gave a telescope
lecture on astronomy on Monday
night on the roof of the Phillips
building.
Tar Baby to Appear
During the Summer
Notice has just been given out
that the Tar Baby will be issued this
summer, five issues to appear. This
announcement came from the Board
of editors after a number of requests
had been received by them for the
continuance of the publication the
year round. The Business Manager
requests that the summer address be
left by the students desiring the
summer issues of the Tar Baby.'
The Carolina humorous publication
has achieved much note and success
in its first year, and has built up
an enviable . list of subscribers to
gether with a big advertising pat
ronage. The issues for the year
have been very clever, and the Tar
Baby has gained many enthusiastic
admirers not only here in the Uni
versity but all over the south. It
has been sold in newsstands and on
trains in all the adjoining states,
and everywhere it has been met with
sincere admiration. The Tar Baby
is believed to be a fixture as a Caro
lina publication, and the editors are
wished' success in their vacation
venture of the Tar Baby in the
summer as well 'as winter.
N. C. Club Discusses
Civic Organizations
The North Carolina Club held
its last meeting of the year Monday
night, with W. E. Price in charge of
the program. Mr. Price made an
interesting and elaborate report on
"Civic Organizations." .
He began by showing the remark
ably rapid growth of industrial towns
and cities in the State during the
last two decades. Instead of a rural
population of over 79 per cent which
he had in 1910 we have a network
of industrial towns which have
sprung up almost over night and
several large cities. The tide has
been flowing from the country to the
tbwn in North Carolina ujntil our
state has become ' the best indus
trially developed state in the south.
Under the pressure of the new flood
of population the old loose organi
zations and customs of town life
have proved entirely inadequate and
inefficient. Civic organization has
become a new problem.
After pointing out the defects of
the present systems of civic govern
ment and customs he submitted sev
eral proposals for the re-organization
of the town and city. For the cly
of 5,000 or over he advocated th?
commission-manager form of gevern
ment and proposed that the city
should maintain service bodies to
take accurate records of the city's
condition, needs, and possible and
probable growth, and that measures
providing for these needs be taken,
and that the city should take into
its hands the provision of those
things that are essential to the
health of its citizens.
For towns less than 5,000 he pro
posed similar measures to those for
the cities with the additional pro
posal that the town undertake a
definite work of co-ordination be
tween the economic, social and insti
tutional life of its own small group
of people in the surrounding country
side. After Mr. Price's discussion, Dr.
Branson outlined the plans for the
department of social science or
public welfare that is to be estab
lished at the University this year,
and showed the great service that
it with the department of rural eco
nomics and sociology will render to
the State.

The student committee appointed
a draw of suggestions as to what
form the Graham Memorial Building
should take submits to the central"
committee the wishes of the student
body as indicated by the outline
questionaire and th? vote taken
thereon.
The task of the committee was
one primarily for selection, and the
features of tho. building indicated
are not the only ones which the stu
dent body wishes incorporated but
those which should take precedence
over any others.
The committee heartily endorses
the need of an adequate auditorium
and, on the other hand, as heartily
condemns any suggestion for an
inadequate and ill-equipped one
which will not supply both present
and future needs and to incorporate
an adequate auditorium would mean
the exclusion of other features more
desirable. The committee favors an
adequate auditorium only. If it can
be incorporated in addition and not
to the exclusion of other activities

N. C. Letter Men
Organize a Club
The N. C. Club, consisted of the
wearers of the N. C, is the newest
organization on the Hill. The object
of the N. C. Club is to work the
campus thoroughly and get men out
for sports. The object is to make
every man come out for at least one
branch of athletics, to find out his
ability in certain lines, and to make
an atjhlete of him. The predomi
nating idea is to raise the scholar
ship in athletics. All N. C. letter
men have been delegated to induce
high school athletes who wjll come
up to the standard of Carolina schol
arship and sportsmanship to come to
the University when they finish high
school. After the letters for track,
baseball, basketball, tennis and gym
nasium have been awarded at a mass
meeting of the student body to be
held during the week there will be
a final meeting of the N. C. Club
for this collegiate year. At this
meeting resolutions expressing the
purpose of the N. C. Club will be
adopted. More men are espe
cially urged to participate in
the University's athletics and
raise the standard of our athletics.
Money or the lack of money is no
longer a set back. An increased
athletic fee is the remedy for this,
and that will be asked for next year.
Athletics of every phase will be a
part of the University Bureau of
Extension.
At the first meeting of the N. C.
Club Beemer Harrell was elected
president and Dr. Mangum, secretary
and treasurer. The main idea of the
club, as aforesaid, is the concentra
tion of effort to develop physical
education.
