MEDICAL SCHOOL ISSUE
IS UNCHANGED PENDING
ACTION OF THE TRUSTEES
Dorman Thompson Says School
Will Not Be Located in
Chapel Hill. '
DURHAM-CHARLOTTE ROW
Since the Durham offer was made pub
lic a few days ago, the situation iu re
gard to the state medical school has
remained practically unchanged. There
seems to be no doubt from any quarters,
however, that the school will le estab
lished, and the problem for the trustees
to solve, when they meet next Tuesday,
will be to decide which of the offers they
will accept, or what plan they will pur
sue for the immediate erection of the
school.
Both Durham and Charlotte are ex
tremely anxious for the medical school.
Both cities offer to supply and main
tain a hospital needed in connection with
the institution. The Charlotte proposal
provides for a strictly state school con
nected with the University, while the
Purham plan is for a state medical col
lege in itself, independent of any col
lege. Both offers are receiving careful
meditation. Taking into consideration
the present condition of the state's fi
nances, t would be expedient, in the
opinion of many prominent officials, to
adopt aome plan by which the state
would not be called upon to supply the
entire amount needed to build and equip
an up-to-date medical school.
Although there has been some dis
agreement for the last few days as to the
exact standing of the state's finances it
is certain that the liabilities incurred by
this state by bond issues at present
amounts to something over eight million
dollars. Therefore, to make the school
what it should be, if the state should
build it alone, in the opinion of many
people, would require more than it is
at present able to appropriate, however
worthy the expenditure would be. "
Although It would be better in a way
to put the school at Chapel Hill, the
majority of the board, according to Dor
man Thompson, a member of it, is op
posed to such a plan, and there are many
reasons why Chapel Hill would not be
a suitable place for the school. Since
the last two years of a medical student's
education includes the clinical schooling,
a clinical college must necessarily be
located in a place where all sorts of
cases can be secured for treatment and
observation. The objection to Chapel
Hill is, that it lacks these facilities.
Being off a main railway line and not
in the center of an industrial region,
patients could not be secured here in
numbers. Iu this connection, it is doubt
ful whether any North Carolina cities
would supply the sort of clinic needed
to maintain an efficient college.
Whatever is done, however there is no
intention of moving the present two year
medical school from Chapel Hill.
ff
UP TO STUDENT BODY" SAYS
PRES. CHASE IN CHAPEL SPEECH
FACULTY MAKES NEW RULE
ABSENT FACULTY MEN
BUY BOOKS FOR LIBRARY
Dr. Brown Secures Some Unusual Bar
gains in Germany Towles
and Harrer Also Buy.
The library is having its gaps in cer
tain departments filled rapidly. G. A.
Harrer, professor of Latin; Oliver
Towles, professor of Romance languages,
and Kent J. Brown, professor of Ger
man, while abroad on a year's leave of
absence, are buying books for the li
brary. Dr. Harrer is adding to the se
lect list of incunabula from Rome. Dr.
Towles, in Paris, is buying the French
books of the 17th century, with an eye
to their value in Romance languages.
And Dr. Brown, in Munich, is having a
veritable landslide in the cheapness of
books. His last shipment, a set of 52
books, cost $19. In this country they
couldn't possibly be bought for Ave
tidies the amount. But taking advan
tage of the present rate of exchange,
ho is buying many periodicals which
aro needed to fill in the gaps of the
l'wiodical list.
The library officials are bemoaning
tho fact that they haven't a large
enough fund to purchase some of the
yy fine German libraries that are be
ing sold for a song.
Student Dropping Course Without Per
mission to Receive a "6" More
Courses Required to Return.
Thinks the Only Way to Get Adequate Appropriation is to Arouse
State-wide Sentiment in Favor of It.
"The student body must get busy." That was tho essence of President
Chase's speech in chapel Friday, when he explained the failure of the request
for appropriations, and the reasons for it. He thinks that the University went
about asking for this appropriation without enough agitation, in a rather half
-hearted way. That was tho reason, the
President thinks, that the University
did not receive her full demands.
The Budget Commission, according
to Dr Chase, is not to bo censured for
their action. They only recommended
$1,650,000, but they probably judged
from the spirit in which the request
was made that the University would
be satisfied with much less than it ask
ed. "The people of the state," said
Dr. Chase, "should know about what
our needs aro. If a sentiment in our
favor is raised throughout North Caro
lina, then the budget commission and
the legislature will not dare refuse."
He then explained in general what
plans for the next two years are. In
anticipation of a great increase in the
student body a number of new build
ings must be constructed. The older
buildings must be or ought to be re1
paired and made into living quarters
that will be at least decent. Then the
faculty will be increased in proportion
as the number of students. All this
will incur a tremendous expense. The
student body should awake, Dr. Chase
thinks, and keep up a continual howl
as they did two years ago, until their
demands are satisfied.
The facility have put into effect two
important regulations relating to the
classroom work of students. The first
of them is:
A student who drops a course with
out getting permission from the dean
of the college or school in which he is
registered will receive the grade of 6
on that course. The reason for this
rule is that heretofore students have
sometimes voluntarily had themselves
dropping by incurring a certain number
of absences and have been graded "ab
sent." Now they will be graded 6.
It is found that often a course which
a student finds difficult is dropped when
it is the very course which it is most
necessary that he continue. Permission
to drop a course will be given when the
dean is convinced that there is a good
reason, and the 6 will not be given.
The second regulation is that the re
quirements for re-admission to the Uni
versity the following year have been
raised. Henceforth, a freshman must
pass at least five courses, and a mem
ber of an upper class must pass at least
seven courses. The requirement that
hs been in force is four courses for
freshmen and six for upperclassmen.
The new rule will not go into effect
until the fall of 1924. That is, this
year's freshman who passes four cours
es, and this year's sophomore or jun
ior who passes six, will be allowed to
return in the fall.
ONE HUNDRED POINTS TO
SEVENTY-TWO IS TOTAL
The freshman second team journeyed
0vw to Mebane last Friday to play
Mebane high school. Adams, Barber,
Carton, Huggins, Koonce, Underwood,
"Vest and Watt went. After a rather
slow game, Mebane noBed out the sec
ond team by a score of 31-30.
Zeta Psi Plans
Dance Friday Eve
The Zeta Psi fraternity announces
a dance to be given in their hall Fri
day night. Invitations will bo extend
ed and it is learned that a large num
ber of Durham, Raleigh and other out-of-town
girls have accepted invitations
to attend.
A new orchestra organized and man
aged by S. E. W. Kenny will be the
music-makers. The players in this new
orchestra are known to be good, but
as to just how good they play together
will be shown Friday night.
The Zeta Psi hall is large and at pres
ent the best dance hall on the campus.
The Zeta Psi 's are known to give good
dances. As to whether or not the Grail
has developed their plans and will give
two dances this week-end is not yet
known. Their plan was to have this
week-end or some week-end soon a
number of dances making them as near
as possible like a regular Carolina dance.
It is their intention to have a number
of visiting girls attend. Everyone ex
cept freshmen are to be invited and
the dances made as reasonable as possible.
FRESHMEN BEAT RALEIGH
HIGHS BY ELEVEN POINTS
THE CAROLINA CLUB
ORCHESTRA TAKES A
TRIP INTO VIRGINIA
Wednesday night the Carolina Club
Orchestra left for Orange, Virginia, where
it will furnish the music for the Wood
berry Forest mid-winter dances. Since
the reorganization of the Tar Baby Five,
the organization has become known as
the Carolina Club Orchestra, which is
composed of Hal Kemp, Jim Garrett,
Billy Vaught, Will Hicks, Bob Dey, and
Charlie Stephenson.
The orchestra furnished the music for
all the Carolina fall dances and made
a big hit with everyone attending. Since
then it has become very popular in
Chapel Hill, having furnished the music
for all the Grail dances and most of
the other dances given on the Hill.
Throughout the entire state there has
been a constant demand for the orchestra
nnd it has furnished the music for many
dances outside Chapel Hill. During the
Christmas season the boys spent the en
tire time playing for different occasions
in the largest cities of the state. It is
rumored that they intend to bike a trip
abroad next summer as did the Tar Baby
Five two summers ago. This new organ
ization has already become a part of
Carolina and is closely associated with
the university.
Game Starts Off Slowly But Interest
Picks Up Game Above Aver
age for Frosh.
The freshman basketball team fol
lowed the varsity's example in the Mer
cer game by defeating- Raleigh, high
school by the same score, 33-22, Friday
night. Like most of the freshman
games, this one started off slowly, al
though the freshmen made a better
showing in the first half than they did
with Reidsville. Raleigh made the first
goal, but Carolina soon begna to pile
up the score, so that by the end of the
half the tally stood 17-8 in favor of the
freshmen. The visitors picked up some
what in the second half, but could not
overcome Carolina's lead.
For Raleigh Young was the outstand
ing player, while Devin, Milstead and
Cobb showed up well for Carolina.
Cobb's shooting was not quite up to
standard, but his dribbling was very
noteworthy. The freshmen might have
scored more if they had been more care
ful in following up shots. As a whole,
however, the game was considerably
above the average.
The line-up, substitutions and indi
vidual scoring was as follows:
Freshmen Raleigh
Milstead (8) Young (8)

ALL GAMES EASILY WON
The Blue and White basketball team
returned home Friday after waging a
brilliant campaign in Virginia. Caro
lina won every game played and piled
up an even 100 points to her oppon
ents ' 72. V. M. I. was beaten 26 to 20
and a hard-fought win from Washing
ton and Leo followed.
The Lynchburg College five furnished
the Tar Heels some stiff opposition in
the final game. The Hornets had the
lead for about ten minutes of the first
half, but baskets by Sam McDonald
and Green gave Carolina tho lead which
was held to the last, the score being
50 to 31.
Sam McDonald played splendidly and
made 16 points, tying Carmichael for
high scoring honors. The latter was
especially good on free tries. Every
Carolina player secured at least one
goal, while Witt, the Lynchburg cen
ter, rang up five baskets and five foul
shots.

EXCEPTIONAL STUDENTS
.-ARE GETTING ATTENTION
Iowa Professor Confers With Univer
sity Faculty in Regard to Differ
entiation of Students.
Mcdonald elected
chief dance leader
"Monk" McDonald, popular athlete
and basketball captain of the Univer
sity's quintet, has been elected by the
senior class to act as the chief Univer
sity dance leader during the Commence
ment dances.
Other dance leaders elected were
Tom Turner, S. Whedbee, J. T. Barnes,
II. Holderness, J. T. Little, and L. V.
Phillips.
J. O. Harmon was initiated into the
Masonic Club last Saturday night.
C. E. Seashore, professor of psychol
ogy and dean of the graduate' school in
the University of Iowa, has been con
ferring with members of the faculty
upon the problem of developing the cap
abilities of the exceptional student.
Mr. Seashore is visiting institutions
all over the country on behalf of the
National Research Council, and the re
sult of investigation will be published
for the guidance of educators. The Na
tional Research Council grew out of a
body that was formed during the war,
and its function is to assist established
institutions in original research by
gathering and spreading the best infor
mation as to fields of inquiry and meth
ods. Two or three years ago this council
sent a scholar through the South to
report on facilities offered for research.
He reported to the headquarters in
Washington that the University of
North Carolina led all other Southern
institutions in the encouragement giv
en to original research.
The case of the exceptional student
has been for some time a much-discussed
topic among educational experts.
Talent being unevenly divided, univer
sity and college officials are confronted
with tho question of how they can give
unusually high talent the best oppor
tunities for development.
One teacher hero phrases the situa
tion thus: "If a university has any
mission, it should be to develop leaders.
Great advances in every field in ma
terial things as well as in literature and
the arts must come about through the
achievements of the unusually gifted.
They have got to be encouraged. That
does not mean that those with average
mental equipment are to be neglected.
But means must be found for helping
those who aro extraordinarily to go
ahead and attain heights that they can
never reach if held back by the major
ity. (Continued on page three)

ONE POINT IS NARROW MARGIN
OF VICTORY OVER TRINITY SQUAD
Rough and Tumble Contest Goes to Carolina by Close Score of 20-19
Effects of Virginia Trip on Tar Heels Apparent.
Carolina barely escaped defeat at the hands of Trinity on the Angicr Duke
gymnasium floor Saturday night in a furiously played game that was doubtful
until the final whistle. With the Methodists leading 13 to 12 at the end of tho
first half, tho Blue and White succeeded in caging four additional goals to only
three by Tom Neal, and finally won by the score of 20 to 1.0.
J lie contest was a roiitrh-nml-tunihln
affair with little open play by either
tofun. Carolina plainly showed tho ef
fects of the strenuous Virginia trip and
often resorted to long shots instead of
trying to work tho ball up under tho
basket. Crute and Noal, especially tho
former, kept their men well covered,
and While Wintou Green scored five
times, nearly all his shots were unusu
ally long.
Trinity scorod first on two foul shots
by Simpson but Carmichael quickly
evened matters with a beautiful goal
from the center of the floor. Green so
curod three baskets in the first period
and "Monk" McDonald also made a
nice goal, but Simpson's seven foul
shots gave Trinity a one-point load at
the intermission.
In the second half both quintB re
turned to tho floor with greater deter
mination to win, and playing degen
erated into a species of football. Ref
eree Corboy failed to penalize to any
extent but held balls were of frequont
occurrence. After the score had re
mained unchanged for several minutes,
Green dropped one through and Mah
ler followed with a "crip" shot. Caro
lina added two more baskets and Noal
rang up another. With but three min
utes to play, Neal located the ring twice
and barely missed another difficult shot,
but the timekeeper's whistle ended the
fray with the Tar Heels possessing a
one-point margin.
Green's brilliant goal shooting and
Captain McDonald's excellent floor
work were the features of Carolina,',
playing. . Mahler and McDonald formed
a barrier against which the Trinity for
wards could make no headway. Cap
tain Jimmy Simpson was high scorer
for the Methodists with one basket and
seven fonl goals out of 11 attempts.
Ncnl's all-around playing in tho last
few minutes was the brightest showing
made by the losers.

R. G. Harrison, M. D., Ph. IX, pro
fessor of comparative anatomy at Yale
University, delivered two lectures on
February 2 and 3 in Phillips hall un
der the auspices of the North Carolina
chapter of Sigma Xi. He spoke on
the subject of grafting and tissue cul
ture. In the first lecture, delivered Friday
night, Doctor Harrison dealt with what
is commonly known as grafting. He de
fined the operation, comparing it with
the grafting of plants, and explained
the surgical and biological bearings of
the method. He described the grafting
of sex glands in relation to the study
of heredity and secondary sex charac
ter, and dealt with the grafting togeth
er of large parts of embryos as a
means of analysis of the events of de
velopment. The second lecture, on Saturday night,
dealt with the more recondite aspects
of the subject. The relation of cells,
tissues and organs to each other and to
the organism as a whole was explained.
Doctor Harrison gave an account of
the growth of cells and parts of the
body in culture media, and character
ized the development of nerves. He
told of the growth and longevity of tis
sue culture, and dealt at length with
the problem of physiological individu
ality. ' ..... .... ,, -.. '
A large number of teachers and sci
entists came from other colleges in the
state to attend the lectures. After the
lecture Friday night, Dr. R. E. Coker
gave a smoker at his home for Dr. Har
rison and several other guests.
Coach Bob Begins
Work Out For Track
MANGUM ORATORS
HAVE UNTIL FEB. 15
All seniors who intend to try for
the Mangum Oratorical Medal at
Commencement must hand their sub
jects to the dean of the school In
which they are registered by Febru
ary 15. Subjects were supposed to
have been In on February 1, but it
was decided to put the date off until
the 15th.
While basketball will hold sway for
at least a month yet, Coach Bob Fetzer
is working his men daily in preparation
for the track season which will open
March 8-9. At this time tho annual
indoor track meet will be staged in
Durham.
The prospect for a winning team is
brighter than it has been for a number
of years. Eight letter men from last
year's team are back on the Hill. Be
sides, the freshman 1922 team was al
most as good as the varsity and a num
ber of these men will strive for varsity
berths.
The only meet that has been settled
definitely is the indoor meet at Durham.
This is both a high school and an inter
collegiato meet. The high schools will
contest in tho afternoons and the col
logo teams will show their wares at
night. The time and place for the
State meet has not been decided, but it
will likely take place some time the
latter part of April.
Negotiations are under way for dual
meets with N. C. State, Washington and
Leo, for a triangular meet with Georgia
and South Carolina, but none of these
dates hns been fixed.
