EVERY STUDENT A SUBSCRIBER EVERY STUDENT A SUBSCRIBER Vol No. XXX. Chapel Hill, N. C, January 24, 1922. No. 26 SENIOR ELECTION OK IS IL Plt Tu DelM A- T- v Zete Pai Phi Delta,' and Pikers Carry Away Honors. THORP ELECTED LEADER Representing practically tjje.tsme line-up that had dominated the Soph- omore elections a f ew days before the leaders and assistants for the commencement dances were , eeted at the Senior Class tmoker Thursday night. "Ike" Thorp, who was nominated by Felix Griesette, was unanimously elected Chief upon a motion to thai effect by J. D Ppr sette. The electfpn of assistants, four senior aad two junior, followed with practically no contest. "Dough" Hamer, "Chesty" Weodall. "Chappy" Lee, and "Wood" Williams were .the seniors elected, and "Monk" McDon ald and Clayton Edwards the juniors. Delta Tau Deltas, A. T. O., Zeta Pui,' Phi Delta Tbeta, and P. K. A. had taken all offices. There wasn't even enough opposi tion to the machine to make things interesting. Upon the call by Presi dent Phipps for the nomination of assistants "Willie" Horner was the first on the floor. He made a short speech on the qualifications of his nominee before announcing him, "Dough" Hamer. Then followed the nominations in order of Woodall by Sparger, Lee by Hedrick, Williams by Nash, and Griffith by Ranson. Sus man made the motion that the nominations be closed which was seconded by Horner. A motion to vote by rising instead of by ballot was made by J. D. Dorsette, but was overruled on the ground that it would take longer to count the men stand ing than it would take to count the ballots. A very unique system was adopted, ostensibly to save time, by which every man voted for the one of the five candidate which he didn't want, instead 'of for 'the four which he did, the candidate getting the highest number of votes being drop ped. For the Junior assistants Ashford, Spain, Morris, McDonald, and Ed wards were nominated. The two last named winning by substantial majorities. E USE IN PUCES MADE ON STATE TOUR Papers From Different Towns Visited Pay Tribute To Tho Carolina Dramatists. TANTi RAISED FOR FOUNDATION Preliminary Report Shows That Many Have Already Shown Devotion For Woodrow Wilson The preliminary report of the University and town committee on the Woodrow Wilson Foundation shows that a very substantial repre sentation will be forwarded to head quarters at the end of this month when it is planned to make a final report. ' The committee has taken the posi tion that opportunity should be given to all, in a Bimple and dignified way, to join this larger movement to estab lish a public service foundation. No attempt has been made to solicit funds except on the part of those whose enthusiasm for this cause leads them to contribute as a matter of distinctive pleasure and privilege. Next week, the last week in which to receive contributions, will be de voted to a limited campaign on. the part of a few individuals who will personally undertake this added ef fort as volunteers in the great cause of restating the Great American Tradition, and to a simple campaign among the people of Chapel Hill. Reports from the other colleges indicate about the same results as at Carolina. Those who wish to con tribute further may receive blanks from Mr. Claude Currie, Secretary to the president and treasurer for the committee. UNITED N THEIR PRAISE The Carolina Playmakers are be tas well received by the State on their present tour with three original fplk-pjaya. Not all the towns they have vjsjted have yet been heard from, fcpt each place they have per formed has teen well pleased with whaj; hey, had to oftpr nd feejB tp wan them pacjf agajn. vi " ' ' Professor Koch will return to Chapel Hill on Wednesday morning wjth his epmpany and they will pre sent the three plays, as used on the State tour, at the Play House on Saturday evening of this week. "The Miser," "In Dixon's Kitchen," and "Trista" are three pley. Newspaper comment from the towns in which the Playmakers have appeared has all been favorable to the work and reputation of the or ganization. They are doing them selves credit, and winning a good name for dramatic productions from the University of North Carolina. The Henderson Daily Dispatch had this to say about the performance there: "It was the Playmakers' first appearance here, but lovers of folk lore and the staging of those little joys and tragedies of everyday life, as translated from reality into drama, hope it will not be their last," in the conclusion of the review. From the Daily Commonwealth of Scotland Neck for last Thursday it also becomes apparent that the Car olina players made a hit there. "To a splendid audience composed of real North Carolinians the Carolina Playmakers showed last night in three plays written by North Caro linians, staged by North Carolinians, and played by North Carolinians. To say they made a-good impression would be inadequately expressing it; they were not on trial; their reputa tion had come before them and they lived up to it." A large audience greeted the Playmakers' appearance in Golds boro. The Daily Argus of that place had this to say about them: "Noth ing quite so crisp and sparkling with genius ; refreshing and wholesome in attunement to nature; inspiring and satisfying in the thrill of achieve ment has heretofore or resulted from we should say, any previous efforts to place before the people of North Carolina the folk-lore and simple life of other days in our commonwealth." Everywhere was praise for Pro fessor Koch and his players. A good Ferocious Outstanding Canine .

Cer tainly all goe wglj with the preco pious pup, who pf uncertain lineage, black and white spotted as though crossed between Shepherd and Poo dle, came last spring out of nowhere and forced his way by sheer per sonal quality to the eminence of Uni versity social position. But the soul of Ferocious is far from its mortal abode. Automobiles seem to have been the anathema thrown into his life by a dark and shady canine fate, and Ferocious was unable to rise above his destiny. Just as last spring, at of the fizard green trucks pf the Uni versity , laundry, ft was just after t!e hour pf ejeyen last Saturday, be fore the postoffice, pjat .the truck, approaching at a rapid rate, appear ed to bystanders to swerve from its cpurse 'and cut 4own the trustful puppy wjfo Joitered unaware at the woe pf the road. , Ferpcipus' end pame swiftly as a esuJt of internal injury.

Tlie death pries of the puppy arose pitipusly into the murkyi dismal atmosphere of the day, as he managed t drag Ijimsplf painfully upon the bare stretch of earth just beside the post- office walk, to linger for a moment, and to die to end life as he had begun it, alone and unbgfriended. '. Ferocious' body lay in state. For near upon three hours the stark corpse lay upon the red, gluey mud in front of the postoffice, the object of the sorrowful gaze of hun dreds of students and townspeople who filed past after the noon mail. iA group, never entirely dissipated, until after the dinner hour was' over, and the pilgrimage to the postoffice was done, and the affairs of town and campus began to assume aspects the very dawn of his sensational ca- of normalcy, and those many who CAROLINA QUINT LEADS OTHER TEAMS IN RACE FOR STATE HONORS SOCIAL COMMITTEE IS DESIROUS OF LETTERS Other Fives in State Do Not Appear , Meeting .

Ferocious was run over by a Ford. Not an orthodox Ford, but by one had known and loved the little mon grel were depressed over the event of his death, and those few who had d-elt upon the body but a slight lin gering gaze and gave to his death but a thought in passing, all had seen and gone, then a town employee with but little ceremony removed the corpse, and the earthly semblance of Ferocious was forever lost. example of this may be taken from the same paper which continues: "A packed Goldsboro audience greeted these players in the Messenger Opera House, and realized both from the plays themselves as so admirably act ed by the student actors, and from the no less thrilling talk by Profes sor Koch, just what the movement means in arousing enthusiasm and hopefulness in our people great po tentialitiesessential potentialities for the development of the intellec tual, spiritual and artistic life of our people as a whole."

Thursday. T New Buildings Will Be Finished On Time Called For By The Contract. A. I. E. E. Meets In Phillips Hall and Holds Discussion The local branch of the A. I. E. E. met in Phillips Hall Thursday night, three papers of unusual interest be ing read. Otto Giersch read a paper on Armature Winding; R. G. Koontz on the Muscle Shoals Development, and A. R. Rowe on the Fixation of Nitrogen. All three papers were discussed at some length towards the close of the program. The interest centered mainly around Koontz's paper on Muscle Shoals since it i pf .an en gineerjc aatuxel 'and & one .pf chief topics of discussion everywhere in America today. Accompanied by the sounds of clanking machinery operating until late into the night beneath the full glare of high powered electric lamps the construction of the new dormi tory quadrangle at the University is proceeding according to schedule. The winter months thus far have but slightly impeded the work, which, ac cording to Mr. T. C. Atwood, who is in complete charge of the University's building program, should easily be completed on or before the date specified by the contract. The appointment of the Atwood organization to supervise the build ing program came as a result of an act by the last legislature abolishing the State Building Commission, which had hitherto had the work in charge. The act abolishing the building com mittee was simultaneous . with the granting pf $l,4pp,p0p to Uni versity and various sums to Kinqrea With a half century record in the field of science, a Kenan Professor in Chemistry and one of the world's leading chemists, Dr. Francis P. Ven- able, spoke on science as a profes sion Thursday night in Gerrard Hall, to an assembly of students more or less deeply interested in science as a vocation. Dr. Venablei outlined chemistry in its departments. He stated that one must love his work before he can achieve much in his chosen profession. He said there were three things that should be considered in selecting a profession. And they are: ambition, service and happiness. "See that you don't waste your chance while at the University," he advised the students. There are three kinds of chem ists: teaching chemist, the control chemist and the research chemist. He told pf the fascination that would come to the student who was in chemistry trying to find out the rea son and wherefore of things. That curiosity to know things and to dis cover and investigate makes work in chemistry a pleasure that is genuine. The determination to succeed plays an important role in one's success and one must not be guided in dol lars and cents but for the work that one actually loves and enjoys. The control chemist, he said, worked in the big industrial plants of Amer ica and commanded a rather large salary, sometimes as high as $25,000. The research chemist is one who is everlastingly trying to add knowl edge to the accumulated store of hu man knowledge, who is trying to dis cover and find the exact reason of things as best he can. He also com mands a good salary, declared Dr. Venable, if he once makes for him self an enviable reputation in his particular line. The teaching chem ist, he declared to be one of service and unswerving devotion. A Senior class smoker featured by class elections and an unusually in teresting talk by Professor Collier Cobb was held last Thursday even ing in the co-ed room of Peabody building. The announcement of the appointment of committees was made by President Phipps. The new de signs for commencement programs were submitted to the class by W. E. Horner, who has this in charge.- Re freshments consisting of pineapple and .pimento sandwitches, sweet pickles, and cakes were served. Professor Cobb's talk was on the general subject of China, but that didn't keep him from wandering oc- casionally over into Japan and Si beria during the time In which he kept his audience in a general up roar. Before the election of the com mencement dance leaders the follow ing committees were announced by President Phipps: Commencement invitation committee: W. E. Horner, C. L. Moore, and I. D. Thorp Senior class gift committee: T. L. Warren, F. A. Grissette, and T. E. Boyd, class entertainment committee: P. J. Ranson, S. O. Bondurant, C. J. Wil liams, Miss Denham, and Miss Ellen Lay. I. D. Thorp was elected 'unani mously to lead the commencement dances, with Hamer, Woodall, Lee and Williams as senior, and Mc Donald and Edward3 as junior as sistants. Miss Nina Cooper was un- nanimously elected class prophet. Announcement was made that no senior who had not paid his class TRINITY HAg 6QQP TEAM .Suming up the jRrs week of .real basketball -playing in the ste, . Car olina bids fair to hold to her state championship won last year. Wake Forest was defeated by a decisive score n the Pny,an?e fafMjSd ip by the. varsjty, although Trjnily. and Wake Eprp?t Pn State and plan Satyrgay igit. Trinity defeated State, 22 tp 19, and Elon took the i&apjjisfs into $hp fold by a .20 o 25 scpre. ,. A glance at the twp scores indicates that the teams were fairly evenly matched, and in the State game it was Trin ity's ability to shopt fouls that won the melpe. Wake Forest didn't seem tp be able to locate the goal at all against Elon, and went down hard. So far Carolina has played only Wake Forest and South Carolina. By comparing the scores of the South Carolina game it can easily be seen that the Tar Heels are far in the lead so far as scoring is concerned, and with such a display of scoring ability, and the knack Carolina has of keeping the ball most of the time, indicates that Carolina need not de velop any very strong defensive game for State games. Trinity seems to be playing a beau tiful passing game with Crute and Simpson the mainstays. Captain Richardson at center is their weak sister. Wake Forest also plays a good passing game but doesn't seem to be able to pocket the ball with enough regularity to win games. Elon is somewhat the unknown quan tity, although they evidently have an excellent team from early sea son showing. State's policy is a defensive game throughout, and all five men line up in a circle under the opponent's goal, as if to say "I can't get it, so you might as well go away for I won't let you have it either. A five man j defense is fine for keeping down scores, but with a fast passing team such as Carolina has, and with such shots as Carmichael, Perry and Mc Donald, a close five man defense will be gradually worn down until it gives entirely away, as was demonstrated in the South Carolina game. Carolina meets both Trinity and Elon later in the season, and cf course will prove or disprove the stated superiority. N. C. State should give Carolina but little trou ble, that institution seeming to pos sess nothing other than Floyd as real basketball material. BY STUDENT AUDIENCE "Negro Spirituals and Other Songi of Negro Race" Make Hit in Gerrard Hall. That ttyere should be more social education and .a larger social life for the entire Btudent body and that thjs education egn not be obtained by joining a fraternity were the prin cipal conclusions reached by the so cial committee recently appointed by tl?e prpsin Pf the student body tp investigate the social situation at Carolina, in jts first meeting Friday evening. The . committee requests that students and faculty members turn in suggestions to any member of the committee as to the means of having better social life here and it will thoroughly consider thpm and later draw up concrete recommen dations to be presented to Univer sity officials. G. B. Porter at the outset of the meeting presented to the committee the social problem at Carolina as he viewed it. He maintained that the fraternities were obtaining that- pol ish and poise which admitted them into any sort of society after leav ing college, and that the whole social problem here was to furnish the 1000 or more non-fraternity students the same advantages. Dr. Chase in a letter to W. E. Horner, which was read to the committee, set forth the same solution to the social probler here. Jonathan Daniels and W. D. Car michael immediately refuted the val idity of Mr. Porter's view that a stu dent obtained social education in a fraternity, but declared that those fraternity men who had that "coat of social veneer" obtained it before joining a fraternity. They and the other members of the committee agreed that the social problem wjs tp give better and larger social ad vantages to the entire student body, fraternity as well as non-fraternity men. The rest of the meeting was de voted to a discussion pf- the best plans for bringing about a better social life as agreed upon.

ONE THOUSAND DEBATERS IN HIGH SCHOOL CONTEST Two Hundred and Fifty Schools En rolled in Annual High School Triangular Debate. With Gerrard Hall packed and jammed to full capacity, John A. Lomax of Texas made his second ap pearance at Carolina Friday night, receiving one round of applause af ter another. The students had been looking forward to thiB man for some time and his second app'earance here was quite popular with the students. Dr. Archibald Henderson intro duced Mr. Lomax by saying that h was one of the few speakers who had come to Carolina and made good.. The whole program of Mr. Lomax was one of spendid entertainment. His program this year was "Negro Spirituals and Other Songs of the Negro Race." Lomax began with a very appro priate introduction stating that he was the true friend of the colored race and that he was born and reared in the South where the negro flour ished. This introduction was appeal- dues would be eligible to vote in j ing because it showed the status of the senior vote of February 10th.

R. Rankin, asso ciate director of the University ex tension bureau. These 250 schools, representing 91 counties, are scattered through out the state; only nine counties have no schools enrplled in the contest: Ashe, Carteret, Graham, Hoke, Jonpsy Mitchell, Stokes, Tyrrel, and Wa tauga. Mantio, irj Dare county, the farthest eastern schpol, has enrolled, and will debate with South Mills apd Old Trap Hill Highs of Camden coun ty. Murphy High in the extreme west, has also joined, and will de bate with Hasgville high, of Clay county and Iola high of Macon coun ty. The high schools are being ar ranged in triangles like these all over the state. Guilford county, with 25 schools entered, has the largest number of schools that any county has ever en rolled in the contest. Gasfon and Buncomb counties have the second largest number of entrants with nine. Next in order comes Nash county with eight schools; Robinson and Rowan counties, nine; Edgecomb, Wilson and Wake, six; Alamance, Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, and John ston, five; Chatham, Cleveland, Co lumbus, Davidson, Duplin, Durham, Iredell, Northampton, Union and Warren, four. : The following counties have three scholg enrolled: Bladen, Burke, Caldwell, Currituck, Forsyth, Frank- (Continued on Page Four.)
