EVERY STUDENT A SUBSCRIBER h Ik .JjiuJJj - r- ; EVERY STUDENT A SUBSCRIBER Vol No. XXX, Chapel Hill, N. C, Friday, January 20, 1922 No. 25 CAROLINA TRACK TEAM INVITED TO PARTICIPATE Hi TWO WINTER MEETS Coach Bob Fetxer Has' Started Men In Regular" Training For Com w .- -. ing Season. ""' OTHER MEETS SCHEDULED . 1 'i ; :c' - Winter training - for track began during the past week under Coach Bob .Fetzer, ,- with about ; fifty men out, and indications are that many more will report. The majority of these are men of some experience, and Carolina's track team is' expect ed to be the 'best in many years. The season's ' schedule though not definitely known now, will be repre sentative and put the team in the running for the Southern champion ship. J At a meeting last week, Coach Fetzer stated, "Track has been a back number in athletics for the past few years, but I intend to make every effort possible to place track on an equal footing with baseball, football and basketball." Tentative schedule includes dual meets with N. C. State, Trinity and V. P. I. The manager is planning a trip to Baltimore, to enter the Johns Hopkins In-door meet, Febru ary 25. The University will also participate in the Southern Confer ence meet, which will probably be held in Atlanta early in May. The exact dates of the meets are not known now. Plans are being made by Fetzer for a 12 lap outdoor board track. This will be built in sections and will be used for winter and early spring practice. He also plans to hold an inter-class Relay Carnival. The class , winning the Carnival will be presented with a silver loving cup. The cup will become the prop erty of the class winning for three years. The majority of last year's track men are back and out. .. The addi tion of John Purser, Ratty Ranson and Johnny Hutchins to the team should strengthen it materially. It is not known yet whether Woodard will .be able to go out. He was operated on for appendicitis during the Christmas holidays. Purser came in second in the triangular cross country run held here during the past quarter. Ranson took first place in the inter-class cross coun try run last year. Woodard won five places in the inter-class meet, and Hutchins handled the weights for Woodberry Forest two years back. The annual meet to decide the State championship will be held at Trinity, although the exact date is not known. SPEED COP ACTIVE "Watch out for the : Speed . Cop!" is; fast : becoming the l motto of motorists coming into and leaving Chapel Hill. - Since the ' appointment of Homer' Bennett- s full-time speed cop some ten? days ago more- than 20 motorists have been hailed before ' the local justice for exceeding the- town limit of ' 20 miles an hour: v ' The i concrete : road within the town has 'been marked off in blocks of known length, and it is an easy matter for Bennett with his stop watch to get any law-breaker ,: ' v J The maximum fine is fifty dollars and costs, but for the first offense the offender usually draws the minimum of five dol lars with' the admonition that later offense will be more cost-ly. or 18 GAMES ANNOUNCED; TAR BABY HAS GREAT PLANS WITH STUDENTS 'AS BOARD OF EDITORS Fit Garnet On Emerion Field With i t Probability of More Being Ar ' ; ranged Later - TEN DAY NORTHERN TRIP ') ft . The Jf 7. Professor Loui Graves Appoints Local Newspaper Men as Cor- respondents. Twenty-four teaching fellowship, each paying $500 are available to graduate students in the University of North Carolina. A portion of the time of each fellow is devoted to assistance in the department to which he is assigned; the rest of his time is spent in study for an advanced degree. The fellowships are open to graduates rof any standard college, and holders this year come from many states. The entire list of state newspapers has been turned over to student newspaper men on the campus by Fr&fessor Louis Graves, teacher of Journalism at the University. Pro fessor Graves handled all the news paper work from the Hill last quar ter, but on account of the press of other affairs has deemed it wise to turn the correspondence over to other men. Scott M. Thomas has the Charlotte News, and W. C. Huffman has the Charlotte Observer, along with the Durham Herald and Asheville Times. J. J. Wade is corresponding for the Greensboro ' News, the Asheville Citizen, and the Raleigh News and Observer. C. J. Parker, Jr., is handling the- Wilmington . Morning Star. A number of the smaller news papers will be taken care of by work done in the classes on journal ism, and a system of supplying the county weeklies with up-to-date and live news matter is being rapidly worked out by the classes, assisted by the teacher. Professor Graves hopes to see the journalistic field at Carolina develop ed within' the next two or three years until a department of journal ism is founded, and on the depart ment he hopes to build a school of journalism that offers a degree. The lack of a school of this sort is keen ly felt as men in North Carolina desiring training in this field are forced to leave the state to go north. He states that the field for such a work in Carolina is almost unlimit ed, and a rapid growth of the journ alism work at Carolina is almost sure to follow upon the steps just taken by the University in securing several courses that ' deal strictly with subject of newspaper writing. The men who have taken over the correspondence work are backing the (Continued on Page Two.) City Alderman Grant Permission For Raising Telephone Rates If One Tax Payer Objects to the Increase, However, State Cor poration Commission Can Adjust Chapel Hill Will Not Buy CompanV. Says' Mayof Robinson. Mayor Robinson states that the city of Chapel Hill has no intention of purchasing Mr. Hogan's telephone company, and adds that ' the" city aldermen have given permission for him to raise the telephone rate in Chapel Hill. The permission to raise the rate given by the city fathers is invalid if one tax payer of the town pro tests the paying out of more money for telephone service. It must then be carried to the State Corporation Commission for adjustment', and there is Borne doubt as to whether a public utility in the state of North Carolina has a right to raise rates even with the town's permission in which it happens to be located. Early in January the telephone company through Mr. Hogan present ed to the city solons two sets of figures, showing that by the present rate the company will go far in the hole, and by the increased rate Will be able to pay all charges and still declare a dividend of six per cent. The figures looks so plausable to- the fathers that they promptly granted Mr. Hogan the right to raise the rates. 'There is one feature of Mr. Hogan's figures that looks rather out of proportion. He figures six teen per cent in as a replacement and depreciation charge. This is entirely outside of operating ex penses. A three or four per cent depreciation tcharge is nothing un usual with a public utility company, but sixteen per cent' for such work and material is all out of proportion, and would call for a detailed state ment to the State Corporation Com mission were the matter to come to its attention. The Company has one trouble man it pays $1,800 a year. There is one operator at $1,000 a year, another at $600 and still another at between $600 -and $1,000, accord ing to Mr. Robinson. baseball schedule for the spring has "been announced finally with 'eighteen' games ' arranged, 'sev eral open dates, and five 'games on Emerson field. The first game of the' season is with N. C. State, March 25; at Chapel' Hill. 'The schedule then jumps from March 25 to April 8, at which time Wake Forest will be played at Wake Forest. The other four games at home are with the University of Georgia on April 12, Davidson College, April 11; Wake Forest, April 24; Lynchburg College, April 7; and Virginia, May 1. The schedule at first glance is not the best Carolina has played, but has one big redeeming feature, a ten-day trip north, at which time a number of important games will be played. There are two games with .Washington and Lee, two with Virginia, one at Greensboro and one at Chapel Hill, a game with the Uni versity of Maryland and one in New j York with Fordham. j ine schedule as announced is in complete and arrangements are un derway now to close for several games, the majority of which are to be played in Chapel Hill if possible. Several dates are still to be filled on the northern trip. The incomplete schedule follows: March 25 A. and E. at Chapel Hill. April 7 Lynchburg College at Chapel Hill. April 8 Wake Forest at Wake Forest. . April 11 Davidson at Chapel Hill. April 12 University of Georgia at Chapel Hill. April 15 Trinity at Durham. April 17 Davidson at Winston Salem if field can be obtained. April 20 Washington and Lee at Lexington, Virginia. i April 21 Washington and Lee at Lexington, Virginia. .

PRIZE CONTEST BE SOON I An announcement has been made ;by The Tar Baby, once a humorous 'publication of the students of the University, but which has been a pri ;vate corporation for some time, to the - effect a that a student editorial board has been chosen and will han dle this end of the magazine from now on. R. L. Gray, Jr., is the new editor of The Tar Baby, and has already selected a board with some of the best literary ability in col lege. With a student board of editors The Tar Baby hopes to take its place again as one of the best college hu morous publications.. The late issues have been far from standard, and this the new editorial staff realizes and will attempt to overcome in the very first issue under their editor ship. Mr. Gray states that more car toons will be used and that an all round better make up will be em ployed, and that expense will not be spared in making The Tar Baby worthy of being associated with the name of the University. The pub lication will conduct a prize contest at an early date for undergraduates, which will be a splendid field for col lege wits. A Tar Baby club is contemplated, the club to be the Board of Editors of the magazine, which will bring them closer together and more able to get a common view as to the best way .to issue a real good funny pub lication. NEW INTEREST IN TRACK Following the first call for candidates foi the1 ;1922 track team, i" Coach VBob" -Fetzer made a strong talk 'in chapel Wednesday urging men to go out for the varsity. . , "Track ' should ' be ' elevated to its' rightful 3 position here this year," said Fetzer," "and I'm taking the responsibility on; myself -to do everything possible to bring it about." He urged every 'man to' come out" if tot' nothing' else than to get daily" exercise. ''- ' i A- Track offers better opportuni ties to more men than any other sport, and it's only a ques tion of going out 'and finding out what you're fitted "for and then going after it.' A large number of. 'men-are expected to report for practice. 0. MICHIGAN WANTS TO ' PLAY CAROLINA TENNIS Piscuss Anti-Lynching Bill To Take 1 Up Fraternity Question Next Saturday Night. -SPEAK IN CHAPEL HILL One of Country's Foremost Jews To Talk In Presbyterian Church Sunday. T "EXCELLENT PROSPECTS Bailey Liipfert Coaches First Year .,, Reserve Team Has Not ' Cut . Down Squad Yel. .- With Bailey Liipfert coaching, the freshman : basketball squad . is; fast beginning to take on shape. The squad has not been cut down yet, but- Liipfert says that he will cut them down the latter part of this week. He will reduce the size till they can be easily handled by -one man. .'?.,'... The men out are the pick of the high schools, the majority having had three or four years experience in basketball. The material is much better than that of last year. The freshman are practicing every afternoon, immediately after supper. Liipfert has divided the seventy-five candidates into squads and is prac ticing them separately, in order to develop team work. He says, "there are so many good men out that it is impossible to determine who is outstanding." This year's schedule has not been made up yet, but it is thought that the team will take on practically the same as that of last season's. The freshman will play their first game about February 1. They will play on an average of three games a week during this month. A number of these games will be played here when the varsity is not playing or is away from home. Students and townspeople will have the privilege of hearing Dr. Edward N. Calisch, Rabbi of Temple Beth Ahabah, Richmond, Va., at the Presbyterian church on Sunday morning, January 22 at eleven o'clock. His sermon, one of vital interest, will be on the subject: "A Jew's View of Jesus." Dr. Calisch is one of the foremost Jews in the country today. As a scholar, author and eloquent preach er he has achieved great prominence and is nationally known. His great est work, "The Jew In English Lit erature," is widely read and has been translated into several languages. He is a graduate of the Hebrew Union College, The University of Cincinnati, and has received the de gree of M. A. and Ph. D. from the University of Virginia. : As the . culmination of the many high honors that have been bestow ed upon him, Dr. Caliseh has been recently elected to the position of President of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, an organiza tion of all the reform Jewish congre gations in America. - ' ' ' The eloquence -of his oratory, to gether with his magnetic personality, make certain a rare treat for those who' hear' him. - ' ELECTS NEW OFFICERS Miss Adeline Denham is President of The Organisation Basketball to -t v (,e Started Soon. The regular monthly meeting of the U. N. C. Woman's Association was held Thursday afternoon," Janu ary 12, in the Co-Ed room, Peabody Building. The chief business of the meeting was the election of new of ficers for the remainder of the school year. In accordance with the constitution, elections are held semi annually, but heretofore no girl has been eligible to re-election in two successive terms. However, this year an amendment to the constitu tion was adopted which removed this condition, making it possible for the same officer to be nominated again in the succeeding term. The new officers who will be installed at the February meeting are as follows: (Continued on Page Three.) In the regular Saturday evening meeting of the Di Society, the presi dent launched his new plan of in creasing the society's membership. He appointed a committee of three men from each dormitory on the campus to canvass their building for new members. Also he announced that he wished to have suggestions from members in regard to making the programs more attractive and more beneficial to the members. He advised each member to think over this matter seriously and to turn in a suggestion .which would get his and the program committee's thor ough consideration. The query for the evening was: "Resolved, That the Di Society go on record as favoring the anti-lynch-ing bill as presented by Representa tive Dyer." John M. Brown upheld the affirmative while Sam Cathey, "Pike" Trotter, W. E. White, and S. 0. Bondurant spoke on the nega tive. The salient objection to this bill as brought out by the negative was that it is unconstitutional in that Federal authority has no right to penalize a state. The affirmative maintained that the law was consti tutional and presented a provision in the Constitution to that effect, and that this bill was not directed against the South but to render justice equally to all citizens of this coun try. There were only three votes in favor of this bill. The open forum discussion for next Saturday evening, as, announc ed by the program committee, will be for Freshman only. The query is: "Resolved, That the Society go on record as favoring that social frat ernities be for the best interest of social life at Carolina."

J 1 i-i '.'.. ii ' ',j i, ,1 . i The University of - Michigan has asked for a tennis match with the University of North Carolina .to be' played during the Easter season at which time the Michigan team is tak ing a southern trip. This is the first time in the history of the two institutions that a chal lenge has been exchanged for a ten nis match, and if possible the ath letic authorities are going to arrange to have the games played. The only difficulties facing the University are financial ones, and it is hoped that, these may be over come. In the opinion of the man agers of the athletics, this may mean closer athletic relations with the Western University, and the match may become an annual affair. B. Hume Bardin, manager of the Carolina tennis team, stated yester day that he would do all in his power to stage the match here during Eas ter when the campus will be crowded with people here for Easter games and dances. The Carolina tennis team has an excellent record for the year, win ning every tournament entered into, and out of seventeen matches played winning fourteen. The management of tennis is ar ranging a trip to .Baltimore, Wash ington, Annapolis, and Richmond for the spring season, and several defi nite dates have been arranged. The trip will be the most extensive ever : undertaken by a tennis team representing the University, and as sist tennis in taking its place as one of the major sports of southern col leges. Carolina has some of the best ten nis men in the state, having defeated Virginia and Trinity both during the fall, and both those institutions al ways have excellent tennis material. The team is composed of B. Hume Bardin, Tench Coxe, Robert John son, Thomas Hawkins, and E. C. Jernigan. The Graduate School of the Uni versity of North Carolina has 160 students registered this year. They come from 33 different colleges and from 14 states.

The machine could be heard blowing off surplus steam. The usual preliminary business of nominating and withdrawing was gone through with before somebody put up the name of Scott Parham.
