C, DECEMBER 17, 1920 Number 25 The A COMMITTEE ADOPTS PLAN TO DECREASE NUMBER OF GRATS LONGER THANSGIVING HOLIDAYS ARE PLANNED BY STUDENT FACULTY COMMITTEE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS THE SAME The Committee appointed by the faculty to look into the problem of holidays and general class attendance held its second meeting Wednesday afternoon, at which representatives of the student body were present, and at which the following report was unani mously adopted: 1. That, in the consideration of the question of holidays the committee finds that three matters demand atten tion, viz., the occasions for holidays provided by the calendar and our ath letic schedule, the advantage to the in dividual and to the group of well spac ed and regular holidays, and the dis advantage to the whole University of a period of disorganization before and after each holiday. With these fac tors in mind the committee makes the following recommendations: 1. That one days holiday be given in October and that day be the same as the day for the State College game. 2. That at 4:30 on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving the holiday be gin and that there be no more classes until the following Tuesday morning. 3. That the Fall Dances come dur ing the Thanksgiving holidays. 4. That no change in the Christmas holidays be made. 5. That the Easter holidays begin at 4:30 on the Thursday before Good Friday and that there be no more classes until the following Thursday morning. And that in years when Easter does not come between the terms as it does this year there be no recess between the terms. 6. That the Spring Dances come during the Easter holidays. 2. Attendance: 1. That the daily report of absen tees be discontinued and that there be substituted therefor a weekly report to be made every Monday for the pre ceding week on a form to be furnish ed by the Office of the Registrar. That form to contain space for name for absentee, spaces for check marks to denote various reasons for absence, and space for dates absent. 2. That the Registrar shall comrjile these absences by schools and submit weekly list to the Dean of each School. o. That at the beginning of each quarter each instructor take part of tne nrst meeting of each class to make a clear and definite statement of the educational value of regularity and promptness and of his policy toward class attendance, and 4. That at the same time he make a similar exposition of the honor sys tern. LIGHT FANTASTIC TRIPPED AT NEW Y DANCING SCHOOL J- Y. JORDAN INSTRUCTS GRACE FUL AND LESS GRACEFUL IN ART OF TERPSICHORE The disciples of Terpsichore or would be disciples may now have their wishes and aspirations gratified as J. Y. Jordan has started a dancing class 'n the Y. M. C. A. for one hour a day beginning at 4:30 p. m. To those who would question the letting out of one of the rooms to a ffoup of individuals the Y. M. C. A. wishes it known that J. Y. Jordan could not find a floor suitable for his Purpose except the Y. floor. Jordan asked the Association if they did not want to rent him the floor. The A ssn- ciation assented with the provision that it be used one hour a day only. The Y. M C. A folf that in olrin. . VI A AVIV VIIWV ill vuniiig the floor from the students in general fr one hour each day and renting 10 a few students in particular, it WaS illQtl'fifirl Vlonouan Vlo vnt.na the rental of the floor could be used or the purpose of purchasing more records for the use of students in general. COMMERCE STUDENTS TO STUDY INDUSTRIAL NEEDS DEAN CARROLL HAS BEEN NAMED DIRECTOR OF FIELD WORK A business survey of North Caro lina from the point of view of the State's actual industrial life and prob lems to the end that the State's edu cational system may be moulded to train for the local business needs wijl be made by the" United States Bureau of Education acting through the school of commerce at the University of North Carolina. The actual survey will be made chiefly by students in the University school of commerce. As director of the field work Dean Carroll has been named special collaborator in the Bu reau of Education and joins the ranks of the "dollar-a-year" men. He will continue as dean of the school of commerce. This survey will be a part ! of a general siu-vey planned for many states. Soon after the New Year a group of students in the school of commerce under Dean Carroll's direction will be gin upon the survey. They will as certain the major types of manufac turing industries in North Carolina, and the mercantile and professional business employing the largest num ber of workers. On individual in dustries they will try to find out as much as possible about those indus tries, their needs as to labor, materials power, and transportation facilities-. When this information is tabulated it is thought that North Carolinans will have a clearer idea of what the State needs in the way of trained workers for these industries and businesses and the schools can then adopt their system of instruction to provide for those needs. ........ The survey will probably necessitate field work on the part of the students of the school of commerce. The state committee plans to obtain help through the local school officials, the super intendents, principals, teachers, and high school students, and much of the actual work will be done by them. COACH GREY OF DAVIDSON ALSO PICKS STATE TEAM LOWE, HARRELL, AND JACOBI ARE ON GREY'S MYTHICAL ELEVEN Four Davidson men, four N. C. State men, and three Carolina men compose the All-State football eleven as picked by Coach Hugh M. Grey, of David son College. Speaking of the merits of the individual players and teams Coach Grey said that although the N. C. State team was the champion team of the state he did not consider their linemen as good as those of other institutions and thought that State's backfield was far superior to its line. Thus he places three State backfield men and only one State lineman on his All-State team. Honorable men tion was made of Spaugh and Poin dexter of Carolina. Coach Grey con sidered Spaugh the best man for back ing up a line in the state and thought his defensive work was excellent. His All-State team is as follows: Schenck, end, Davidson. Douglas, end, Davidson. Hammett, tackle, Davidson. Harrell, tackle, Carolina. Floyd, guard, State. La Far, guard, Davidson. Jacobi, center, Carolina. Faucette, quarter. State. Lowe, halfback, Carolina. Johnston, halfback, State. Gurley, fullback, State. Professor J. W. Matherly of the School of Commerce has a very in teresting and instructive December issue of Industrial Manage ment. The article is in the nature of an inspirational editorial, and is most attractvely displayed in two pages. Industrial Management is ft mairnzinia dealing with present day problems, in the industrial, financial, and busi ness world stressing particularly the new idea in business. SANTA CLAUS SOON TO RIDE OVER CHAPEL HILL IN AERO HAS DESERTED OLD-FASHIONED SLED AND REINDEERS FOR MODERN CONVEYANCE Lo and behold! Santa Claus will ride this year the wings of the great and marvelous airplane. This mode of travel has not before been "much taken to" by the dear old Santa but this year, upon the offer of the Gil mer Stores of Winston-Salem, he has accepted their proposition, and will even ride over our calm little village of Chapel Hill for two consecutive trips, something that has never yet been done in the one hundred and twenty-seven years that our venerable University has ground to powder and reproduced into real manhood the youth of the State under the spread ing influence of Davie Poplar. The Gilmer plane, which will be honored by the presence of Saint Nick, will be painted yellow, after the color of the autumn leaves which begin to fall about this time of the year. He will, if sufficiently impressed by the audi ence he receives from the community, drop messages to those who are so fortunate as to catch them, and truly this will be an honor to any young person for he will have received a real message from the real ( Santa Claus, who heretofore has always rode upon the wing of the fleet-footed deer, and has always traveled in the "Wee sma' hours of the night," buf who, in rec ognizing the new era of progress and achievement of the people of our com munity, feels that he is out' of order in traveling except by the latest fads and has therefore accepted the good and kind offer of a progressive firm to use their machine which will trans port him over much more territory than he has heretofore' covered, and will perhaps give him time to visit also the people of our neighboring community of Carrboro. PROFESSOR KOCH WILL GIVE ANNUAL READING OF CAROLS CHRISTMAS MUSIC WILL BE REN DERED BY A COMMUNITY CHORUS Professor Koch of the Department of English will give another of his delightful readings of his Dickens' Christmas Carol on Sunday evening, December 19, in Gerrard Hall at eight o'clock. Professor Koch has given this reading every year since he has been in Chapel Hill, and before .that time it was his custom to read it where ever he might be. Anyone who has never heard Dr. Koch read this Carol will certainly miss a treat if he does not take advantage of the opportunity that he now has. The reading will be under the auspices of the Department of English. Christmas music will be rendered by a community chorus un der the leadership and direction of Professor Thomas H. Hamilton of the Department of Music of the Univer sity. The public is invited to be pres ent. HEAVY LECTURE SCHEDULE DURING WINTER QUARTER Dr. Archibald Henderson, Head of the Mathematics Department, and Chairman of the University Lecture Committee, recently announced that there will be a heavy schedule of lec tures in the Winter and Spring quar ters. The complete schedule has not yet been announced and Dr. Hender son states that he will be unable to make it public until after the holi days, but will do so soon after the University reopens in January. Dr. Edwin Greenlaw, Dean of the Grad uate School and Head of the Depart ment of English of the University has recently been announced by the com mittee as Exchange lecturer for this year. He will go to Vanderbilt who in turn under the terms of the ex change will send a lecturer to this University. The lectures of the Ex change are on citizenship, newly dis covered scientific facts, etc. GOOD FOOD STILL A MIRAGE HUNGRY STUDE TRIES 'EM ALL THERE'S NO FOOD FOR THE EMPTY HE FINALLY DECIDES There is little danger of anyone suf fering from indigestion in Chapel Hill. Instead of chasing the "almighty dol lar," it is the chasing of the almighty grub that occupies a large place in the life of the student. Believing that it is the best policy to arrange the most important matters first, the stu dent on arriving on the Hill sets out to solve the problem of obtaining eats. On hearing it alleged that Mrs. Daniels has served satisfactory meals in the remote past, he directs his steps toward that house only to find that it is full. He sorrowfully re traces his steps, but learns in a few days that it is not a matter to shed tears over. After much inquiry he learns that there is a good boarding house some where near the center of Battle Park which can be found by the aid of a guide, run by a Mrs. Battle. Being a peaceful lad he is a little hesitant at first, but intense hunger forces him to summon his courage and apply for a place at the table. He is in stantly accepted and exists on the fare. But in a few days his exis tence is rudely interrupted when the lazy cook makes the stupid mistake of sitting down on the stove instead of the chair, and as a result of this mistake the cook can neither sit down again nor cook. On hearing of this catastrophe, he again sets out and resolves to see if there is anything to eat in the Inn, in which he incurs indigence. He then starts down toward the Hotel, but on the way meets a thin, pale individual with a hungry look on his face who informs him that even the rats at the Hotel have starved. Not knowing what else to do, he decides to try Swine Hall and he finds that it is all that the name implies, and that the management is institu ting a back-to-nature policy in the eating line. Not being satisfied with this, he decides to make one more attempt to find something to eat. He is told of another place and sets out to see if Mrs. Ledbetter feeds better. But here , he fails to find a utopia, for all the waiters are attending a protracted meeting. Yet there are two well known eating places. He considers the Coop, but the coop is full of fowls. And as for the Cabin well, who would want to eat in a cabin anyway? SPANISH LANGUAGE CLUB NEW ORGNIZATION HERE ORGANIZATION IS VERY EXCLU SIVE, ONLY THOSE SPEAK ING SPANISH ELIGIBLE In order to promote the current interest in the Spanish Language in collegiate and commercial circles a Spanish Language club was definitely organized Monday night at a meeting of the interested faculty members and students at the home of Dr. Leavitt of the Romance Department by the election of officers, these being: Pre sident, Dr. Leavitt: Vice-President, Mr. Staab; Secretary, Fernando Llorens, a Cuban student in the Uni versity; Treasurer, W. D. Jones; and Reporter, C. D. Beers. The primary interest of the club being in the Spanish Language, the exclusive use of this language at the meetings affords the members the op portunity to familiarize themselves with Spanish conversation. An effort has been made to limit the member ship by requiring all members to have speaking knowledge of the Spanish language. The club moreover accords a means by which Carolina may get in touch with South American Universities, and arrange a suitable channel for the interchange of inquiries and ideas. Sam Willis, who has been working for the past few months in Greens boro, is a visitor on the campus. COUNCIL ANNOUNCES INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATE WITH PENN DEBATE WILL BE ON SUBJECT OF SUPPRESSION OF IMMI GRATION CAROLINA TAKES AFFIRMATIVE An inter-collegiate Debate with the University of Pennsylvania has been recently announced by the Debating Council of the University. The query will be Resolved: That a Federal Law should be passed rigidly excluding im migrants for a period of the next two years. The preliminary contest will be held in Gerrard Hall on the seventh of January, and the final con test in the same hall on the twenty- second of January. By the phrase "Rigidly excluding immigrants" is meant "Barring all immigrants except students, tourists, foreign officials, and members of the immediate family of some person already resident in the United States." The University of North Carolina will defend the affir mative side of the question. It is significant to note that there will be three men chosen to make up the North Carolina team, which is quite a departure from the usual custom of selecting two, but in this debate the University of North Carolina has fol lowed the custom of the University of Pennsylvania and will therefore select three men to represent it. It should also be noted that the work on this contest for the preliminaries will have to be done during the holidays since there will be only two days before it comes off after the reconvening of school. Candidates for a position on the team can secure further informa tion in regard io the matter from the Debating Council of which William II. Bobbitt is Secretary and Bryant C. Brown is President. The council an nounces that upon the reconvening of school in the winter quarter a com plete schedule of the inter-collegiate debates and contests of which there will be many of varied types, will be announced and the queries will also be announced so there can be a good start made on them. It is especially neces sary that debaters keep in mind the complexity of the one with Pennsyl vania and begin work immediately in order to carry the matter to a con clusion on the near date that is set. COL. RICHARDSON INSPECTS CAROLINA R. 0. T. C. UNIT WATCHES THE CADETS IN ALL PHASES OF MILITARY WORK The R. O. T. C. Unit was inspected on Friday and Saturday by Colonel L. R. Richardson, of the War Plans Division, General Staff. Colonel Richardson was on an inspection tour from the head of the R. O. T. C. branch at Washington. On Friday he watched the Freshmen drill under the leadership of the upper class cadet officers and on Saturday he witnessed a War Game Problem in which the Sophomores participated. The visit was an informal one for the purpose of acquainting the War Department with the facilities for R. O. T. C. work, the conditions as they exist and the methods employed to meet the problems confronted by the military department. The formal quarterly inspection of the Unit, for the purpose of judging the results obtained was held on Tuesday, December 14, 1920 by Major F. Cannon, C. A. C, Inspector from the Headquarters of the Fourth Corns Area, at Fort McPherson, Ga., in which area this state is located. No special drills or ceremony took place for this inspection on Tuesday, as Major Cannon merely desired to see the work in the ordinary course of its running. Dr. Barnard went to Greensboro Sat urday to deliver an address before the Amalgamated Ladies Club of Greens boro. This talk came in the Univer sity extension course. The subject of the address was on the drama, an cient, mediaeval and modern. MERRY CHRISTMAS: MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL
