OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA CHAPEL HILL, N. C, NOVEMBER 9, 1920 Number 14 Volume XXIX. T7 I-1 r r THE STUDENT BODY EN MASSE RESOLVES TO TELL THE PEOPLE OF NORTH CAROLINA THE CONDITIONS EXISTING IN HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS STUDENTS CALMLY FACE PROB LEM AND RESOLVE TO HELP MEET IT SEND SPEAKERS OVER STATE Resolution Presented by E. E. Rimer Was Unanimously Adopted. Is Message to State One thousand students pi.the Uni versity assembled (Friday night in the biggest and most serious-minded mass meeting of the year, "resolved that they would start a. campaign themselves to tell the ' state of the conditions under which they were forced to live because of overcrowded dormitories and inadequate eating fa cilities. Student speaker after student speaker argued that if present liv ing conditions, which were charac terized as unfit for men, were to be bettered, it would be by the efforts of the students themselves who know most about them; and the meeting an swered the argumets by shouting a thundering vote of unanimous approv al to support a program of what they called ."giving., the people of. North Carolina the facts," as outlined by their student campus cabinet. They followed that up by voting, again unanimously, to send a message to the people of the state, stating their case. Message to State "As part of the large company of your1 sons aiid daughters who today crowd the North Carolina colleges, we wish to face facts with you,;' said this message, the adoption of which was moved by E. E. Rives, of Greens boro. "The main fact is that the public schools are turning out grad uates in far larger' numbers than the colleges can take care of in a decent way. Over 3,000 will graduate from the high schools next spring. Even now students eat in shifts in Chapel Hill boarding houses and are packed three and four in a room in the dor mitories. Our congestion here is but representative of the congestion in all the North Carolina colleges. "We present these facts to you with their simple story of present urgent need of room in which to eat, sleep and study. We hope the churches will build more buildings at the de nominational colleges and the state build more buildings at the state colleges. . , "The main fact is not our present congestion, critical as that is in fact and significance, but the larger con ( Continued on page three) BUSINESS DISTRICT TO RISE AGAIN AFTER SUMMER FIRE WORK ON NEW BUILDINGS TO BEGIN IN THE IMMEDIATE . FUTURE That part of Chapel Hill's busi ness district , which was destroyed by fire last summer will shortly be re placed in its . entirety if the present plans of Mayor Roberson, of ,the Chapel Hill 5 Realty Company, are car ried out. Brick is being hauled for the erection of , a large building, and if labor can be secured, work will probably begin immediately. , . ' jj j The present plans are to erect a brick building which will house at least two stores. The buildings will 5 be of two stories, and if the stores ! which are housed in the first floor do not use the second floor for stor age purposes, it is probable that rooms will be fixed for studests. It will be remembered that the fire which destroyed Gooch's Cafe,.Pen ; dergraph's store and a large storage room which he had in charge,- and : Foister's Art Store broke out while ' the summer school was in session here. It is thought that the fire orig inated in Gooch's Cafe. At any rate, these buildings were burned, and it was only through the timely arrival ; of theJDurham Fire, Department and aid from scores of students that ad joining buildings were saved. SENIORS AND SOPHS TIE IN GRID BATTLE LAST THURSDAY NEITHER TEAM HAD PUNCH NECESSARY TO MAKE A TOUCHDOWN Before an enthusiastic crowd of rooters, the seniors and sophomores battled to a tie. 0-0, last Thursday, jn the first, meeting of these teams. Since both of these teams were win ners in earlier contests, a great deal of interest centered in the winning of this game. , f . , . , The seniors made a game try for a touchdown in the first quarter but failed to carry the ball across. The backfield ran well, Shepard and Hob bins showing up to advantage. The sophs held, and then fought their way to midfield. The second quarter saw few gains on either side. Fumbles were frequent, especially on the part of the sophs. Ragsdale's attempt to punt was blocked, but the sophs re covered the ball, only to have it go over soon on an intercepted pass. The half ended with the ball in the seniors' possession; Rives tried for a field goal but failed to make good. The, second half was almost a re petition of the first. Frequent fum bling marred the play. The sophs as sumed the aggressive in the early part, Fred Morris carrying the ball twenty yards . through the senior team. However, the punch to put it across was lacking. The game ended before either team had registered. !"Both the"'sdphs and seniors have good squads and will give the other classes a strong fight. These teams will meet again in a later game when the rough edges will have been work ed oft a little better than in Thurs day's game. Team Won Lost Tied Pet.

V. Martin, of Virginia, "Small Town De velopment in North Carolina." Dur ing the discussion several important facts were spoken of: Nine and six tenths per cent of the people of the United States live in the small towns. The population of North Carolina is divided into three groups: 1,826,000 live in the rural districts, 240,000 dwell in the small town and 490,000 live in the cities. Thus we see that the small town population forms an important group in our own state. Small towns grew rapidly in North Carolina from 1900 to 1910 but after that date they ceased to grow. There are few in the far east of the state and with the exception of Buncombe County there are few in the extreme west. In the piedmont belt of the state, however, we . find t them every few miles. Small towns are formed in two groups, those which grow and then fall away, and, those which grow grad ually. The remedy for the first men tioned group is a scientific investiga tion of its problems and their remedy. The average town in North Carolina can be made pretty and permanent. The small town citizen is the happy medium between the farmer and the city man. Small towns must be de veloped from an educational, sanitary, and social , service standpoint. The market town and the mill town have their problems,, thus .it is necessary to study both when an investigation is made. China " has 20,000 students ' in the universities of Japan, 2,000 in the col leges and universities of Jh& United States, and nearly a thousand in the universities of France. PHI SOCIETY VOTES NOT TO BUILD DORM, FOR THE COEDS HOT ARGUMENTS DEVELOP IN SPIRITED BATTLE LAST SATURDAY By a vote of 25 for to 37 against, the house resolution entitled: An act to provide a dormitory, and to en courage conveniences for co-education at the University- of - North Carolina was defeated by the General Assem bly of the Philanthropic Society at its regular session last Saturday night. W. E. Horner emphatically ex pressed the reasons for his opposi tion to the resolution. "A place is provided at Greensboro for women desiring to take academic. work. Ev erything is provided for them there. I am in favor of co-education when it includes only those women desiring to enter the professional schools? There should be built immediately new dor mitories to accommodate the , men who are here and those who desire to come here instead of building a dor mitory to house the few co-eds who are in the University." said Mr. Horner. ' B. O. Brown expressed his opinion that women as voters of the common wealth cannot be denied those advan tages offered the voters of the state. "The social contact is as important as any part of the college education. Women will aid the men in acquiring social education. Dances should be arranged to meet the social needs of the men. But we are handicapped be cause it is a hard matter to get enough girls to attend these dances, which could probably be held only once a month. Thus the social edu cation of some men will be neglected. I don't . mean to say that dances are the only means of aiding men to ac quire social education. I do mean to emphasize the value of the social con tact, and if more women attend the University this great need will be supplied," said Mr. Brown. J. Gt. Bardin stated that the alumni in their meeting last spring pointed out specifically the need of a dormi tory for the women. H. C. Harris thinks that you can not do otherwise than build a dormitory for women since the women are already here. "It is the woman's privilege to at tend the University. We cannot sup ( Continued on page four) DI SOCIETY DOES NOT WANT COEDUCATON IN ANY FORM BILL ADMITTING WOMEN TO PRO FESSIONAL SCHOOLS DE FEATED 80 TO 38 After a lengthy discussion, the res olution, "Resolved, That the Dialec tic Society go on record as favoring the admittance of women to the junior class and the professional schools," was defeated in the Society Saturday night by the vote of 80 to 38. t 1 .: The speakers were equally divided in number on the question. The chief contention of the affirmative were that it .would be unfair to the women to refuse them admittance, that wom en need higher, education just as the men, and that no v disadvantages would arise from their admittance. The negative opposed the measure on the grounds that there is not room enough even for the men, while there is a college provided especially for the women, also that the state can provide better education at N. C. C. W. and that disadvantages and prob lems, would arise from their influence on the campus. The affirmative was represented by E. V. Benbow, F. A. Grisette, A. W. Staley, C. Y. Coley, G. V. Denny, W. R. Berryhill, and T. C. Taylor, while the negative was up held by W. E. Wills, J. D. Dorsette, J. A. McLean, J. P. Trotter. S. M, Catby and J. L. Allen. jj j C. T. Boyd outlined the program .of the Debating .Council, to. the.. Society; The Society unanimously voted its approval of the program. CAROLINA IS OUTCLASSED BY THE SPEEDY V. M. I. TEAM FOR SECOND TIME IN TWO YEARS FRESHMEN MISPLAYS GIVE . GAME TO CHAPEL HILL HIGHS POOR, GENERALSHIP AND, LACK OF TEAM WORK CONTRIBUTE TO DEFEAT, ,. . By the aid of nothing less than horse , shoe luck, coupled with a few unexcusable faults of their victims, Chapel Hill High School was able to defeat the Carolina freshmen in their annual football fray Friday by the score of 13-7, ; ,, , The freshmen drew first blood early plunged through tackle for a touch down after the ball had been ad vanced to the two-yard line by a num ber, of line plays and one long pass to Hogan for a gain of forty yards. Gil liam kicked goal, Chapel Hill's first touchdown came in the second quarter when Sparrow intercepted Woodard's pass to Rice , and raced about sixty five yards down the side lines for a touchdown. Chapel Hill failed to kick goal. The .winning , touchdown was made in the same frame when Merritt recovered Williamson's fumble and ran forty-five yards across the goal. line. A gain the High School failed to kick goal. .,- Poor generalship of the freshman eleven, costly fumbles, and lack of team work were, the chief causes of their defeat, when they apparently had the best team, gaining much more ground, and . starring in individual feats, . excepting . of course the bril liant runs of Sparrow and Merritt for Chapel Hill. , The freshman team was able to gain consistently through the Chapel Hill line, amassing first downs at will by such tactics. , But Chapel Hill was lucky to get away with her two touchdowns, and the breaks were certainly with the high school throughout the contest. Although Woodard showed poor generalship he made a number of nice runs with the ball himself, and his speed was a terror to the high school eleven. . Gilliam was the main offensive star in the contest, always able to gain through the Chapel Hill line. For Chapel Hill Sparrow and Merritt showed up well, featuring with their two long touchdown runs. Both .Hogans, the Chapel Hill Hogan, and the freshman Hogan, played a creditable game. Barring his one costly fumble Williamson played a good game for the freshmen, gaining consistently. Coach Proctor of the first-year team, ran in , practically an entire new team during the contest for some reasjbn a fact which didn't help the cause any., In the third quarter the freshmen were inside the Chapel Hill ft teen-yard .line, and should , have scored but passes were used instead of line tactics and were unsuccessful. In' the final period, too, the freshmen were' about to tie the score and were making first down after first down in a steady march down the field. But the whistle blew for the end of the game. f and the score stood in favor of Chapel HDL - The line-up: Chapel Hill "Position Freshmen Cole , ..

I.'s "Flying Squadron" lived up to all expectations here Saturday and added another victory to her un broken string, easily defeating Caro lina in one of the prettiest exhibi tions of football ever see on Emerson field. The score was 23-0, the Cadets presenting a sweeping open attack and holding the upper hand through the entire game, although the Blue and White eleven struggled fiercely against the murderous onslaught in hopes of holding down the score. The Virginians played real foot ball from the beginning of ths game to the end and displaying some of the most beautiful team work, and open style play. Leech, the much-heralded star captain of the eleven, was al ways able to gain, and he gave a re markable exhibition of open field run ning. ' Quarterback Stuart ran his team with a vigor and a snap that is unusual, and he gained around end with the same ease as his captain. The whole line-up worked with a re markable skill, furnishing perfect interference for the speedy backs tackling well and hard on defense, and always working with incredible swiftness. The V. M. I. ends were always down the field on punts, tak ing out heavy interference on de fense, and playing a nice offense in helping form the interference for the sweeping end runs of Leech and Stu art. . Two of the Cadet's touchdowns were made in the first quarter, before Car olina had hardly gotten her bearings. Carolina received the ball, and Lowe was forced to kick on the fourth down. By off tackle plays and sweeping end runs the Cadets carried the ball over, Leech failed to kick goal. The second touchdown came when Carolina again received the ball on the kick off and MacDonald fumbled on Carolina's own twenty-five yard (Continued on page two) DOCTOR HALL ADDRESSES STUDENT BODY IN CHAPEL PROMINENT AUTHORITY DIS CUSSES SUBJECT, OF VITAL INTEREST TO STUDENTS . Thursday morning in Chapel Dr. Winfield Scott . Hall talked to the freshmas class and all the upper classmen who were able to find seats in the balcony and standing room in the rear of the Hall. In beginning, Dr. Hall mentioned that he had had the privilege of addressing, on three previous occasions, similar audiences at the, University of North Carolina, , ..North Carolina produces a stalwart type, of men, ."and I am glad," tie said, "to see that the University is still attracting the same type as for merly."
