Number 17
DEBATERS ASK STUDENT SUPPORT
FOR INTER-COLLEGIATE PROGRAM
Forensic Contests Will Become Student Body Activity if. Proposed
Measure Goes Through Will Vote Before Thanks
giving Societies Approve.
That a ballot is to bo presented to the student body for the purpose of
taking inter-collegiate debating aetivities out of the hands of the two literary
societies and placing them upon the student body where, as a University activity,
they seem to belong, and that this ballot is to be presented before Thanksgiving,
was' the decision reached at a meeting
of interested niembers of the student
body and the faculty called by the de
bate council last Friday night.
For some time there has been a feel
ing on the campus that the time has
come when the student body must take
the responsibility as in other large uni
versities, and that the societies have
no right to carry on debates under the
title of the " University of North Caro
lina.'' On the other hand the socie
ties feel that the University has no
right to get credit for debate which
they alone promote and finance.
The ballot has assumed no definite
form at present but it is considered nec
essary to present it to the student body
at this time because the societies are
unable to finance the debate program
which has been arranged for this year.
This fact was announced by the treas
urers of the two societies, who report
ed that there were several unpaid bills
of last year. The ballot will probably
ask - that the student body vote upon
itself a blanket fee of 16 2-3 cents per
quarter (50 cents per year) to finance
inter-collegiate debating. The money
will be used for no other purpose than
the bare expenses of inter-collegiate de
bating.
This proposition, it was explained
will put inter-eollegiate debating on the
same basis as athletics, which is sup
ported by a blanket fee of $3.33 1-3 per
quarter ($10 per year). The analogy
between the athletic teams and debat
ing teams is sound, the debate council
and invited members decided, because
both represent the "University of
North Carolina" and not merely the
football squad ou one hand and the Dia
lectic Society or the Philanthropic As
sembly on the other.
It will be recalled by upperelassmer
that this proposition was presented ir
the ballot of the general blanket fee
last spring which as a whole was voted
down. This general blanket fee includ
ed subscriptions to the Tar Heel, th
Carolina Magazine, the Yackety Yack,
the Y. M. C. A., the Student Govern
ment Association and debating. The
members of the Friday night meeting
pointed out that there was little or no
opposition to the debate side of the
budget, but that the accepted reason
for the failure of the proposition at
the polls was the opposition to the pub
lications, which seem to be oil a fairly
good basis at present, especially when
the Publications Union which was vot
ed for last spring is put into effect.
To administer this debate fund, if
voted for by the student body, a debate
council is to be created, independent
of the present literary society debate

NOTED SOPRANO WILL
SING HERE SUNDAY
The second of the monthly con
certs will be held in Gerrard Hall
next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock,
instead of the first Sunday of each
month as scheduled, so as to enter
tain Miss Franceska K. Lawson, the
noted soprano, of Washington, D. C.
Miss Lawson comes to Carolina with
the highest credentials from the
newspapers in the cities and institu
tions, which are scattered over the
whole of the United States, where
she has appeared. The University
considers itself very fortunate to
have such a distinguished soloist,
and it is with much anticipation that
the music lovers of Chapel Hill look
forward to the artist's appearance.
GERMAN CLUB WANTS
TO COLLECT DUES
The secretary-treasurer of the Ger
man Club, John Bonner, requests that
every man who has been elected to
membership in the German Club pay
his membership fee before the Thanks
giving holidays. He would also like
to know how many are going to be here
for the dances.
Unless those men voted into the Club
pay their initiation fee within the near
future they will be automatically drop
ped from membership and will not b
allowed to attend any of the club
dances.

EXTENSION CLASS IN
SALESMANSHIP IS GIVEN
The University Extension Depart

in the Christ church parish house of
Raleigh last Friday night with 100 Ra
leigh citizens present. Dean Carroll of
the School of Commerce, and Professor
Femald, who is to conduct the entire

the opening meeting.
The class, which is the largest jaf a

for 16 weeks.
PLENTY OF COMEDY IN
FIRST 10 OF FOLK PLAYS
"Nothing Definite," by Ernest Thomp
son; "Agatha," by Jane" Toy, and
"Wrack P'int," by Paul Green.
Characterized by an unusual predoni
inance of comedy and a subsequent, lack
of sordidness, this rear's first reading
of original folk-plays was held in Pea
body Hall Friday evening. Only two
of the nlavs read were of a serious
nature and neither of these oppressive
ly so.
Six plays were read and three were
selected for presentation nt the Play
house the third week in January. The
three to be produced are "Nothing
Definite," by Ernest Thompson; "Aga
tha,", by Jane Toy, and "Wrack
P'int," by Paul Green. .
Tryouts for parts in these plays are
to be held in the same hall this after
noon (Tuesday) at 4 o'clock. "Nothing
Definite" has four male and two fe
male parts; "Agatha" has four male
and four female parts, and "Wrack
P'int" has seven male parts. It is
probable that these plays will be used
on the eastern tour which begins late
in January.
Mr. Thompson's play is an unusually
funny farce comedy of the ultra-modern
style and is concerned -with the week-,

Raleigh. ' Agatha" is a charming lit
tle comedy with the scene laid in Hills

of the year ho knows nothing about
the campus and it is necessary for him
to ask questions; and that nine times
out of ten he stops one who is in the
same fix as he is, and so he has a hard
time hunting up information, while if
freshmen got caps as soon as they got
here a new man could immediately get
an upperclassman to help him. Also
the wearing of caps would make it
easier for a new man to get acquainted
with his classmates. This is only 'a
few of the arguments brought up in
favor of their wearing them.
President Thomas made a short talk
stressing co-operation. He was follow
ed by Dr. H. W. Odum, who gave th-
class a good talk on doing things now
that will count for something later on.
Dr. Bernard gave the Greek trans
lation of sophomore wise fool and
elaborated on it to some extent. His
talk was on what a sophomore is and
what he should aspire to be. ;
Refreshments were served during the
program, and University songs were
sung. Musical entertainment was pro
vided by the sophomore quartet and
the sophomore mandolin quintet.
The smoker closed with the singing
of "Carolina" and yells for '25. But.
that did not end the hilarity, for the
class was not satisfied to go quietly to
bed without anything being done to
show their ardor. Several crowds went
through the dormitories, dumping fres'i
and leaving the trademark of '23 in
various places. The standpipe, as usu
al, came in for its share in the fun,
for Thursday morning it displayed, at
various heights, the vaunting emblem
of '25.
UNIVERSITY GIVEN HIGH
Elected to Membership in Exclusive
Association of American Univer
sities One of Three in South.
The Association of American Univer
sities has elected the University of
North Carolina to membership.
To persons on the outside this may
seem jnsignilicant, but in reality it
means that we rank with the greatest
educational institutions in the country,
for to obtain membership in this organ
ization a college must measure up to
the highest standards in scholarship.
This is not only an honor in the United
States; it gives Carolina au advantage
in foreign countries;' her degrees will
have more prestige and the publications
which go out from Chapel Hill will be
looked upon with a new respect. Also
if any student goes abroad to continue
his studies he will find that Carolina 'a
membership in this body will play quite
a considerable part in determining the
acceptance of his credentials.

Postmaster Strowd
Resigns His Position
The townspeople and students learn
with regret of the resignation of Post
master Robert L. Strowd. The cause
of Mr. Strowd 's resignation is his pres
ent state of health, coupled with the
strenuousness of the task of trying to
give service to the community with the
present inadequate facilities of the lo
cal office. His physician advised him
several months ago not to do any stren
uous work, and he feels that his work
at the postoffice plus his private busi
ness overtax his present physical con
dition. His resignation was offered
October 31, to take effect about Decem
ber 1, or as soon as possible.
In order to recuperate Mr. Strowd
plans to take a long rest and will prob
ably go to California.
Mr. Strowd regrets very much the
necessity of giving up the postmaster
ship. He has been greatly interested
in relieving the congested condition
that now prevails, and proposes to as
sist his successor in every way possi
ble in rendering the best service to the
community.
A civil service examination will be
held December 0 to determine Mr.
Strowd 's successor. As yet no candi
dates have declared their intentions of
trying for the vacancy.
The campaign among the University
students will be in charge of S. M.
Cathey, as chairman of the student
committee. Cathey has selected somo
20 men from dormitories and frnterni
ties as niembers of the committee who
will do the actual canvassing. Mr
Haronian himself will have charge of
the town of- Chapel Hill, while Mrs.
I. II. Manning will be chairman of the
Carrboro committee.-
Dr. W. M. Dey formally opened the
campaign among the students with an
address in chapel Monday morning iii
which he presented the cause of th'j
Crimson Cross and Near East Relief.
The campaign is further advanced by
the creation of a red booth in front of
the post-oilice built in the shape of a
cross. By the side of the Red Cross
booth is a huge sphere representing the
world, and a map upon it indicates
where the Red Cross has been estab
lished by small red crosses revealing
the fact that the organization is es
tablished upon every continent and in
practically every country in the world.
This booth will be used as a general
agency station for the campus and th.i
town and any student desiring to place
a badge upon his left lapel may do so
at this booth upon the payment of the
one dollar enrollment fee.

he was not sure of himself in certain

night by the William Simpson Pharma

The Tar Heel freshmen battled their
way to a 13 to 6 victory over the Geor
gia first year team 011 Emerson Fioid,
Saturday afternoon. Both elevens fum
bled considerably, usually at crucial
stages in the game. Neither team was
able to gain through 'the line, but sev
eral times gains of five to . ten yards
were ripped off by Brumby, Underwood
and Gold.
Brumby's all-around work in tho
backfield and Richardson's playing at
end were the features contributed by
the Georgians. Captain "Billy" Devin
and "Shorty" Griffin executed several
passes for long gains, while Robertson
and Brown were good on defense.
Cpach. A.leandor's team made its first
touchdown on a triple pass for five
yards, a pass from Devin to Griffin for
25 yards, and the hitter's end run for
five yards. Devin place-kicked for the
extra point.
In the last quarter, Shirlock blocked
one of Brumby's punts and Carolina
fresh had the ball on their opponents'
25-yard line. Two plunges through the
line netted five yards and Underwood
carried the oval over on a pass from
Devin.
Brumby's splendid playing was the
feature of the drive that gave the
Crackers a touchdown in the last few
minutes of play. The visitors were aid
ed by penalties against Captain Devin g
team but Brumby gained time after
time and carried the ball over on a line
plunge.

varsity did not perform in the second
half and its absence enabled the David
sou attack to produce a touchdown in
the final period. .
Carolina pushed across a touchdown
in every quarter and Gcorgo Sparrow
kicked a field goal from the 35-yard
lino for his fourth successful drop kick
from scrimmage in the last three games.
Spratt Moore pounced on Cochran's
fumble of the kick-off, but Davidson
found the Carolina defense impenetrable
and the ball went to the latter on its
own 35-yard lino. Two 15-yard penal
ties halted tho first drive launched by
the Tar Heels, but nftor a swap of
punts, Merritt's 18-yard run, and line
smashes by the othor Fotzer backs car
riod tho ball over. Blount kicked goal
from placement for tho additional point.
In the second quartor, McGoe's spark
ling runs of 27, 28, and 7 yards placed
the oval behind the Davidson goal line.
Sparrow added three more points on his
beautiful drop kick just before the half
ended. During the first half the var
sity backs rippod through the Davidson
line and around cud almost at will, and
gains of 10 and 15 yards were frequent.
Opening the Becond half with line
plunges by Moore, Hunt, and Shepherd,
the Wildcats advanced to Carolina's
20-yard lino. The scrubs held their op
ponents for downs at this point and
Sparrow immediately kicked beyond
mid-field. Randolph snagged a David
son pass and more line pluDges paved
the way for "Goat" to cross the Red
and Black goal line. Sparrow made a
drop kick count another point.
The Presbyterians were fighting mad
and carried the ball from their own
22-yard line to Carolina's 20-yard line.
Then Ilendryx threw a pass to Davis
that gave Coach Gray's outfit its only
scoro. Following punts by both teams,
Carolina obtained the sphere on tho
Wildcats' -38-yard line. "Tommy"
