No. 53
FACULTY DECIDES TO
RESCIND STRICT RULE
AFTEH L
By a Vote of 42 to 31, the Athletic
Committee's Summer Baieball
Regulation ii Suspended.
STUDENTS OPPOSE RULE
Professor Patterson, in chapel
Tuesday morning, announced that
the faculty, by a vote of 42 to 31,
had decided to rescind the ruling
recently passed in regard to summer
baseball playing, after a session last
ing over two hours Monday after
noon. The decision to repeal the
rule came after a thorough discus
sion on the part of the faculty, in
which the point of view of the stu
dent body was brought out by the
student committee appointed by
President Sweetman, of the Athletic
Association, last week.
Professor Patterson brought out
the fact that the Southern Inter-
collegiate Conference was founded
for the immediate purpose of stamp
ing out professionalism in collegiate
sports. He stated that he was pres
ent at the organization of the con-j
ference. At a meeting of the col
leges of the South at Atlanta in
the 90's, a motion was brought up
providing for a one-year rule and
a ruling in regard to summer base
ball. The smaller colleges defeated
the motion by a vote of 15 to 13,
and that night the colleges that are
now members of the Southern Con
ference met and formed the present
conference with a very strict ruling
against summer baseball, and adopt
ed the one-year rule. No ruling has
proven successful in checking sum
mer baseball. He stated that in the
existing ruling only four words are
noticed by the players "seven dol
lars a day." At the last meeting
of the conference the rule just re
scinded was defeated, although sev
eral of the important colleges voted
in favor of it.
However, Dr. Patterson stated,
the faculty was in favor of ama
teur standards, and a. resolution was
passed by a substantial majority,
that at the next meeting of the
conference our representation should
endeavor. Uo get.,this.body;.to pass
such a ruling. However, until the
conference adopts this rule, it was
ANNOUNCEMENT.

I CARNIVAL
SWAIN HALL AT ELEVEN
Fun Begins Just After Playmaker
Performance at Play-House.
Man? Girls Here.
The Satyr Carnival will open at
eleven o'clock tonight after the Play
maker performance at the Play
House when the doors .if Swain Hall
allow the many types of masquerad
ers to file through and start the
fun.
All preparations have been com
pleted and ld Swain is a glaring
scene of brilliancy for the biggest
social event of the year. Every one
is trying to outdress the others, to
get a more fetching costume, a more
bewitching mask, and an all 'round
superiority in originality of mas
querade dress.
The funny clown will be there with
many spots, hi9 dunce cap, and his
jolly face. The chorus girl type will
be there to flirt with the clown, and
the tired business man and worn
college professor will be there to
enjoy a little gaiety himself. And
their wives will be there too, perhaps
because they are afraid not to go.
Eight vaudeville stunts will appear
on the regular program and dancing
will go between. The Croziers, the
Browns, Wood Williams and his part
ner all will be special dancing fea
tures of the evening.
"Spotting" of new Satyrs wil at
tract most of the attention of the
program, and the campus awaits an
nouncement of the new members
with interest.
Refreshments can be had for the
Price of a song or a gold mine, that
is, if a person is lucky enough to
have got a ticket for the carnival.
There were only a few seats left at
the larger tables on Thursday, and
they w.ere going fast. There may
be a ftw left for the late comer.
The May issue of the Carolina
Magazine appeared on the campus
Saturday night introduced by a
pleasing cover design and finished
off with R. W. Foister's well-done
advertisement but having between
these two extremes not a great deal
of note, though there are several
worth-while articles. Especially
noticeable is the paucity of editorials,
the copy containing but three and
one of these an apology for state
ments made in the previous issue.
The other two ere typical.
The lead-off article is a clear-cut,
concrete discussion of "the greater
university" which deals with facts
and not with will-o'-the-wisp ideal
ism. It shows in President Chase
a mastery of the situation and one
who is, as the introduction to his
article says, "thinking of education
in the practical terms of courses
and buildings."
As a writer of polished magazine
articles, we would say that Mr.
Poindexter is a wonderfully good

Fifteen High School Teams
. Remain in Championship Race
The elimination, of the High
Schools ' from the race for State
championship has been proceeding
slower than was expected.
There are at the present time fif
teen teams left in the race, which
are as follows: In the east Dur
ham, Burgaw, Fayetteville, Selma,
Clayton, and Seaboard; in the west
Gastonia, Shelby, Hickory, Badin,
Trinity, Winston-Salem, Reidsville,
Ruffin, and Mebane.
The eliminat.'on will have to be
hastened, because the final champion
ship game will be played here Satur
day, May 20th.
Returning from an unusually suc
cessful trip through the Western
part of the state the Carolina Play-
makers will present their home per
formance of the state tour program
here tonight. The first curtain at
the Playhouse will go up promptly
at 8:30.
The three one-act plays to be pre
sented are "The Lord's Will," a
tragedy of a country preacher, by
Paul Greene; "Dogwood Bushes," a
comedy of the farm, by Wilbur
Stout; and "Trista," a play of folk
superstition, by Elizabeth Lay.
The first and third of these are
the ones which called forth such
harsh criticism from the "Burlington
Daily News" on their performance
there, and which drew so much ap
plause from the other towns where
the Playmakers appeared while
away.
"The Lord's Will" made a distinct
hit here on its initial presentation
last quarter. It has been called the
best of all Playmaker productions.
"Dogwood Bushes," by the author
of "In Dixon's Kitchen," is perhaps
not so universally popular as Stout's
first hit, but it is full of charm and
fresh humor that keeps its audience
in a constant roar of laughter.
"Trista" is a play hard to under
stand but with a great deal) of tech
nical beauty. And the acting in this
play, and in "The Lord's Will" is
perhaps the best ever seen done by
the Playmaker group.
Dramatic critics throughout the
state have been universal in their
praise of the acting in all the plays,
and in this home performance Chap
el . Hill will . perhaps see the best
group of players ever brought to
gether for a local production.
Popular prices, fifty cents all over
the house, have been arranged for
tonight, and many students and
townspeople who have not had the
opportunity to see the three plays
on the program are expected to hear
them.

a permanent measure ; namely, that
three per cent, of each nationality
i that was in this country in 1910
shall be the only annual quota of

' R. T. Johnson and S. P. Neal on the
I affirmative side of the query, while
W. E. Horner and B. C. Brown will
represent Carolina on the negative.
The Debating Committee espci
' allv requests that a large number

past.
FETZER'S TRACK SQUAD IN
SOUTH ATLANTIC MEET
Team, Composed of Nine Men, Rep
resents Carolina in Annual
Event at Charlotetsvile.
The last track-contest in which
Carolina will participate this season
will be the South Atlantic meet
Captain Llewellyn's hard hitting
Tar Heels won from New York Uni
versity Tuesday, 12 to 8, in the final
game of their northern trip. The
game was hard fought to the finish,
when Carolina scored four times in
the tenth inning.
Coach Fetzer's outfit tallied once
in the first inning on McDonald's
triple to right, followed by McLean's
sacrifice fly. Two move runs were
added in the fourth. Fred Morris
singled and scored on Wilson's triple,
while the latter crossed the plate
on Bonner's infield out.
Carolina tied the count in their
half of the sixth. Shirley doubled,
but was tagged a moment later when
Bonner hit to short; the latter scored j
on Johnson's double. Casey Morris
drew a base on balls, and lie and
Johnson both scored on Coffey's hit
that went through second. Johnson
also slapped out a homer in the
eighth.
The Tar Heels tied the score in
the ninth on Wilson's single and
Shirley's triple to left. After that
came the fatal tenth when Carolina
sewed up the game by pushing four
markers across.
Bryson started on the slab but
lasted only three innings, when Cof
fey relieved him. He in turn was
supplanted by "Lefty" Wilson in the
ninth. N. Y. University also used
three pitchers in the fray.
By winning from New Tork Uni
versity Coach Fetzer's team complet
ed a most successful trip. They have
annexed three victories and lost only
one contest. In four games the Tar
Heels have succeeded in scoring forty
times to fourteen for their op
ponents. Today Carolina and State play the
deciding game for the state cham
pionship. Coach Fetzer's choice for
mound duty, is unknown, although
he is sure to start one of his aces.
It is thought that Curtis will be
given another opportunity to stop
the Carolina batsmen from connect
ing for safeties in this afternoon's
fray. There will be a good crowd
of State supporters over from Ra-

The Senior Order of Golden
Fleece will stage its annual tap-day
ceremonies on Tuesday evening at
8:30, o'clock in Memorial Hall, ac
cording to announcement made by
Fleece members yesterday. It was
also stated that Governor Cameron
Morrison will deliver the principal
address. - The- ceremony-will be pre
sided over by B. B. Liipfert, one of
the men received into the Order
last year.
" "Every"' ySar", the' ' campus watches
the election of men into the Golden
Fleece with the keenest sort of inter
est. The election to membership is
looked on as the highest honor and
recognition of leadership and achieve
ment on the campus that may come
to any man at the hand of the stu
dents; and it is because of this, be
cause of the fact the Fleece is as
b'g as campus endeavor and achieve
ment, that the elections are looked
forward to with such interest.
Although it could not be learned
exactly how many members would
be tapped, it is expected that nine
or ten will be the number. Of these,
probably not over three will tie
seniors; the remainder being, of
course, juniors.
The presence of Governor Mor
rison will lend color to the tapping.
It will be remembered by old men
here that one of the most success
ful tappings of recent years, waa
that of year before last when Thos.
W. Bickett, then Governor of the
State, was the speaker. Professor
Horace Williams, one of the men
largely instrumental in founding the
Golden Fleece, spoke at the tap-day
ceremonies last year.
Governor Morrison will be intro
duced by Professor Williams, while
Mr. Liipfert will very briefly present
to the student body the aims, pur
poses, and ideals of the Golden
Fleece. At the conclusion of the
speeches, the usual robed figures will
enter, will search out in the crowd
the men that are to be tapped, and
will announce the election of each
by a blow on the shoulder. It was
stated yesterday that no invitations
to membership would be given out;
and in order to see that all seniors
and juniors are accessible, the juniors
have been requested to occupy their
chapel seats, while it is expected
that the seniors will sit In accessible
places.

up by men on the campus contain-
After the smoke and roar of the
most spectacular and desperate po
litical battle ever waged on the cam
pus had cleared away, J. O. Harmon,
of Pittsboro, who has been prominent
in student activities for the last two
years, defeated Thomas Turner,
president of the junior class, by the
extremely narrow margin of 35
votes. The total number of votes
cast, the largest in the history of
campus elections here, was 1257, of
which Harmon received 646 and Tur
ner 611.
The issue of the struggle was ever
in doubt until the last vote had been
counted. Conflicting rumors circu
lated about the campus Tuesday aft
ernoon and night, now predicting a'
lead for one side and now for an
other, but the ultimate result was
not ascertained until late in the night
after every vote had been carefully,
checked over in the Registrar's of
fice by a committee of eight men.
During the count, approximately 60
illegitimate votes were ruled out,
the majority of these cast by Turner
men.
For the past few weeks the po-
: litical cauldron has been seething,
gradually reaching the "bubbling
over" stage. Many possible candi
dates were mentioned, but the out
standing three were Harmon, Jim
Kerr, and Tommy Turner. A sur
prise was sprung when, Victor Young
resigned from the editorship of the
Yackety Yack to enter the race at'
a late hour, causing concern to the
adherents of the three leaders. Up
to the time of the preliminary vote,
all manner of political moves were
resorted to, the candidate of the. .
astute Joe Ervin' being the most sen-1-"
sational, which set the politicians
agog with excitement.
GRAHAM MEMORIAL PLANS
T
T. C. Atwood Organization is Speed
ing Construction Work Dormi
tories Will Be Ready by Fall.
As examination time draws near,
some students wil begin to wake up
and go to work, but the T. C. Atwood
organization has been working all
the time. The organization has been
working on plans for the Graham
Memorial building, and at the same
time great progress has been made
on the new quadrangle dormitories
and the class-room building behind
the gymnasium. Work has also been
done on the tennis courts and class
athletic fields.
The plans for the Graham Memo
rial building, the future gathering
place of the campus are being per
fected every day. The building will
be situated on the site of the old Inn,
and, although this will be some dis
tance from the center of the campus,
the boys are expected to "hang out"
there a great deal, both because of
the attractiveness of the building and"
the entertainment that will be offer
ed there.
, The first dormitory of the quad
range will be completed by com
mencement, and there is no doubt
but that all of them will be ready
for occupation by next fall. Each
building wil house 120 students, with
two in a room, and will have a show- .
er on each floor. The new class
room building behind the gymnasium
is progressing very rapidly, and will
be ready for use some time next year.
The authorities tell us that at
last the tennis courts and class ath- :
letic .field are practically ready for
use. The tennis courts will prob
ably be put into use this week, "oui
they will not be in perfect condi
tion before next year. The class
athletic field, is completed, but on
account of os much blasting hav
ing to be done beside it, it cannot
be used at once. " '
