No. 56 MAGAZINE DEBT WILL NOT BE Pi BY THE DI AND PHI SOCIETIES Dual Committee Meeting Decides That Two Societies Are Not Liable for Debts. SEAMAN WANTS $2,000.00 The two committees appointed week before last by the Phi and Di societies to render a report as to the best action to be taken in regard to a two thousand dollar indebtness on last years Carolina Magazine has finally rendered a decis ion after a dual meeting of the two committees last Friday evening. The essence of their decision is as follows: "That inasmuch as the two societies were only nominally connected with the Carolina Magazine, except in the capacity of a subscription agency, after having elected its business manager, and whereas the business manager was the recipient of any and all profits de rived from the publication, that the societies could neither afford to be guar antors, nor be held liable for any in debtness incurred by the business manager." The members of the Phi committee are C. L. Moore, W. T. Shaw, and V. V. Young; of the Di, Tyre Taylor, J. P. Trotter, and M. W. Nash. The decision which these two com mittees have reached must be voted on by both societies, however, before it goes into effect, but general opinion in the two organizations seems to comply with the decision rendered by the dual committee. ... . The committees were appointed as the result of a letter addressed to the two societies by the Seaman Printery of Durham, calling attention to the debt and requesting prompt settlement of same. P. A. Reavis, Jr., under whose man agement the principal part of the $2,000 debt was incurred, takes the same stand in regard to the matter as the members -of the committees. - Although a minor at the time the contract was signed, he has expressed determination of stand ing by it and says that he will pay the debt if the printing company will give him time. The Magazine has been published under the auspices of the two societies since its foundation in 1884. Even with ; the subsidy of a dollar subscription for ; each society member, the financial end of the publication has never been on a sound basis. Practically every business manager has lost money on it, and there is a strong feeling in the societies that the burden of the magazine along with (Continued on Page Three) JUNIOR DEBATERS CHOSEN. The preliminaries for the junior commencement debate were held Thursday night in the Dialectic and Philanthropic Society halls. V, V. Young and George Hampton were chosen to represent the Phi with J. J. Beal as alternate. J. M. Brown and G. W. McCoy won out in the Di with J. P. Trotter as alternate. The query for the debate is "Resolved, That there should be compulsory arbitration of all public utilities disputes ser iously affected by public interests."

GIVES ENJOYABLE RECITAL Thirty-Five Students and Townspeo ple Under Direction of Prof. Weaver Get Up Program. Real talent and hard work were re sponsible for the success of the soinmun ity chorus recital given in Gerard Hall 'Wednesday evening. A good sized group of students and Chapel Hill peo ple filled the hall and received with a decided show of appreciation the two short but enjoyable numbers sung by a chorus of 35 students and towns-people. Both songs drew the applause of ; the entire hall .and it would be hard to tell which was the most enjoyed. The two who took solo parts were Alber Cullen Hewitt and Miss Aline Hughes. Hewitt is a young ' ' Caruso ' ' of the class of '25 whose clear tenor voice has a tone of unusual sweetness and promise. Miss (Hughes' soprano is always a delight, and she was at her best while singing "The Highwayman." This song is the -story of a pretty young girl who gave her life in an attempt to save her highwayman lover from the red-coats. In itself it has a pecu liar touching appeal which was greatly enhanced by the singing of Miss Hughes and Mr. Hewitt. "The Slave's Dream" was the last number of the program, Mrs A. S. Wheeler as accompanist deserves men tion as her. playing was of the best. Mr. Paul John Weaver, director and moving spirit of the chorus is in a large way responsible for its success.'

Y., as one of the best ever put out by them, and to be entered by them in a publishers contest held in New York City, was put on sale at the Y. M. C. A. last Saturday morning, with only a limited number of extras on hand according to Business Manager L. J. Phipps. The special feature of the University annual this year is the section called "Views," which portrays Bcenes near and dear to the hearts of every Carolina man, from the chapel, to the gym, the dorms and general campus scenes. These pictures according to a representative of the publishers who has been on the Hill will also be entered in an art contest in Atlanta. Bound in substantial leather cover, with a raised figure of General Davie, founder of the University, upon the front, the 1922 Yackety Yack, copy righted by W. E. Matthews, editor and L. J. Phipps and I. D. Thorpe, business managers, contains 359 pages of a sys tematic review of campus life and pro blems for the past year, flavored with thought and fun. Although it is not the largest annual ever published, yet the editors consider it even' better by virtue of that fact, since it omits many of the monotonous details of a college annual such as sev eral pages of faculty members, etc. It also contains less pages of advertise ments than last years 'b annual, another point in its favor. The only sin of omission seems to be the humorous re view of the Tar Heel and Magazine, which was an enjoyable feature of former annuals. Another "innovation which breaks the yearly routine is the sandwiching of various branches of athletics between the classej nnd offi cial organizations. The annual is dedicated to I. S. Emerson '79, known best to Carolina students as the donator of Emerson (Continued on Page Three) SHIRLEY WILL NOT PLAY WITH P1FESI0NAL CLUB . Leaving the Hill last Wednesday and returning the following Tuesday, the Freshman baseball team made a very successful trip, taking on games with Fishburn, Woodberry Forest, Augusta and the Freshmen of the University of Virginia. The first game on the schedule was with Oak Ridge, but after three innings of consistent playing by both teams, the game was called on account of rain. The Oak Ridge team had a one run lead on the first year men with Ferebee and Starling as batteries for the Freshmen. From Oak Ridge the boys went to Waynesboro, Va., where they met the Fishburne team. It was evident from the first that this was a hard fighting crew, and at the end of the third inn ing Finch, who had lost his control, but had allowed only two hits, retired from the mound in favor of Jackson, who held the "preps" to only three hits during the remainder of the game. The final score was 10-5 in favor of the Freshmen, who touched the Fishburne twirler for fourteen hits, John Mc Cauley getting a home-run, and Jones and Starling 3 hits each. Leaving Wanesboro the Freshmen went to Orange where ' they played Woodberry Forest. With Coltrane and Starling as batteries, the team, of '25 ran the score up to 7-2 in the 5th. inn ing. At this point Coltrane, who was going fine surrendered the mound to Billy Coxe, who yeilded only 3 hits during the remainder of the game and led the Freshmen ,to a victory of 9-4. The Freshmen got 15 hits while Wood berry was able to get only 7. The big feature of the game was the hitting of Jones, Starling and Gibson. The next game scheduled was with Virginia's Freshmen, but on account of rain this game was delayed until Tues day. After spending Saturday in Lynchburg, the team left Sunday for Ft. Defiance where they locked horns j i The sophomores held their annual blowout last Friday night at nine o'clock in Swain Hall, featured by the selection of the Booloo Club, a fast ; boxing match, many speeches, eats and the installation of new officers. I The first course was grape fruit. Fol lowing this Coach Bob Fetzer gave a abort address on mass atheletics, stress ing especially class athletics as a basis for varsity teams, Next came pink lemonade and sandwiches, which made such a hit that the Booloo Club was passed as submitted without changing a single name, though there were many who had friends on whom they wished tp bestow this greatest honor which the sophs have the power of confering. As soon as some degree of order was restored, Dr. II. D. Meyer spoke enter tainingly and helpfully.. A fast boxing match was staged in which Bill Smith won over G. F. Styfert on points. When the decision had been announced,. Pre sident Ambler called for any business and Jim Bradley made a motion to appoint a committee to put through a project of the campus cabinet to estab lish social rooms in the dormitories. This motion was passed and Ragsdale, Purser and Hartsell were placed on the committee, with Bradley as chair man, to look after this matter. After all business was finished Presi dent Ambler turned the meeting over to president-elect Coley who outlined briefly his plan for the coming year. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ELECTS NEW OFFICERS "Mule" Shirley Gets Presidency Without Opposition Shepherd Vice President The athletic association elections Wednesday marked the end of the series of spring elections on the Carolina campus. "Mule" Shirley, the only candidate for the position, was elected Takes Title In Tenth Inning of Ragged Battle By Score of 12 to 7. Clayton scored five runs in the tenth inning against Winston-Salem on Emer son Field, Saturday, thereby winning the state high school championship game 12 to 7. Poor fielding on both sides allowed several unearned runs to cross the plate. Clayton scored first in the fourth on Buckner 's double followed by Mat- president of the association, reCeiving thew BinKle" Baucom then ,lrove Mat" TO KEEP LOBBY OPEN Will Cooperate With Students Hiring Watchman so Building May Be Left Open. with the hard fighting team from Au gusta Military Academy. Coltrane pitched a splendid game for the Fresh men and had the lead on Augusta until the 8th inning, and in the 9th the score was tied, 6-6. In the last half of the 9th it was thought that an extra inn ing would have to be played and Fere bee was sent in to relieve Coltrane. The first man up flied to the left field but the ball was muffed by Gibson. This error, coupled with a bad throw from second to first and a single netted the winning run for Augusta. The final score was 6-7, Augusta getting 8 hits and the Freshmen 13. The big feature of the game was a spectacular catch made by John MeCaulay. From Ft.

In a recent interview Shirley stated that he had not signed to play with Norfolk, as it was rumored. However, he will participate in the nat ional pastime at New Bern, along with several other Carolina and Trinity stars.

Postmaster Strowd, bothered by num erous complaints against the closing of the post office soon after mail time each night, is anxious, through the co opration of the student body, to hire a guard to (stay at the offce and in this way to keep the place open until a later hour. Should the office be kept open later than the time when the last employee leaves, the postmaster will be held criminally liable by the Government for any offence committed during his absence. An order to this effect was issued the third of January 1921, but has not been in force until several days ago, when Inspector Franks, passing through, noted the condition and ordered that the office be closed in accordance with the regulation. The postmaster wired at once to Washington telling the officials there that the Chapel Hill office had never obeyed the ordinance and that it woud seriously inconvenience the people of the town and the students if it was enforced now. IHe received Bn immed iate reply ordering that the office be tlcsed. 801 votes. Norman Shepard won out over Preston Edwards for the vice- presidency by a vote of 471 to 231.

Cofer, Win ston's third baseman, made a pretty catch of Young's liner for the final out. In the fifth frame, Winston forged ahead when Watkins singled, Voneh fanned, and Connelly sent Watkins over with a single. Long walked, and he and Connelly crossed the plate on Joyce's hit. Joyncr's Twin City team scored four times in the seventh and Clayton came back with three in the eight. The easterners tied the score in the ninth on hits by Hinton and Broughton and an error by Connolly. In the tenth inning, two singles and a triple by Sorrell, coupled with three errors gave Clayton five runs and the championship. Broughton and Sherron led in the hitting for Clayton, while Joyce was the offensive star for the Twin City bunch. The box score: Clayton H. S.

Wells and two representa tives from each of the E. E. classes. Music was furnished by the Carolina Troubadours and was pronounced good by everyone.
