ON TRIANGULAR DERATE
Finals to Be Held Here April 12
and 13 First Eliminations
on March 30.
AYCOCK CUP THE PRIZE
Uue thousand high school students
representing 250 high schools of the
State are now working in preparation
for the high school triangular debates
to be held March 30.
K. R. Rankin, secretary of the central
committee reports that the 250 schools
which have enrolled for this year's con
test are scattered throughout all sections
of the State from Poplar Branch High
School in Currituck County to Murphy
High School in Cherokee Couuty.' Mr.
Rankin states that much interest is be
ing taken in this year's contest and that
he expects the debates to be altogether
successful.
The query for debate is "Resolved, that
Congress should provide for the enforce
ment of decisions of the railroad labor
board." Much effort on this query has
been put forth by the youthful debaters
within recent months and sources for
material from far and near have been
investigated in search for up-to-date data.
For the use of the debaters in their
study of this question, a high school de
bate handbook on the query has been
issued by the University Extension Di
vision and sent to the high schools of
the state. This 85-page handbook, which
was compiled by Mr. Rankin, contains
a brief history of the high school debat
ing union, a brief of the question, select
ed articles on the affirmative and nega
tive, and a bibliography.
The schools which are enrolled in the
high school debating union have been
grouped in triangles. Each school will
be represented by a team of two men
on the affirmative and a team of two
men on the negative. Each school will
take part in two debates, upholding the
affirmative against one school of the
triuuge and defending the negative
against the other school of the triangle.
The schools which win both their
triangular debates on March 30 will
send their teams here to compete April
12 and 13 in the fiual contest for the
Aycock memorial cup which is the highly
prized trophy provided by the Carolina
inter-collegiate debaters. It will be the
second Aycock memorial cup that the
schools will compete for this year, as
the first Aycock memorial cup is now
permanently in the hands of Durham
High school, by reason of Durham's vic
tory in the final debate for two years in
succession.
The high school debating union was
organized among the secondary and high
schools of the State in the fall of 1012
by the Dialectic and Philanthropic liter
ary societies and the University Extens
ion Division. It was well organized at
the suggestion of Chas. E. Mcintosh, a
graduate of the University in the class
of 1911, now principal of Denver High
School.
Since the beginning of the contest ten
years ago, the following schools have won
the Aycock memorial cup : Durham three
times, Wilson twice, Pleasant Garden,
Winston-Salem, Graham, Waynesville
and Asheville. The contest this year will
be the eleventh annual contest.
University members of the central com
mittee are X. W. Walker, chairman ;
E. R. Rankin, secretary ; L. R. Wilson,
D. D. Carroll, F. P. Graham, G. "M.

DERATE ARTISTS RUSY
ON HEAVY PROGRAM FOR
THE NEXT TWO WEEKS
Triangular and National Debates
to Be Held March 24 and
28 Respectively.
WILL DEBATE LIVE ISSUES
Two of Carolina's most important
forensic contests are scheduled to take
place within the next two weeks. The
triangular debate between Washington
and Lee, Johns Hopkins, and University
of North Carolina will be held next
Saturday night. Washington and Lee
debates Carolina's affirmative team in
Chapel Hill and Johns Hopkins' affirma
tive locks horns with Carolina's negative
in Baltimore. Each affirmative team
will thus debate at home. The cancel
lation of inter-allied war debts is the
question at issue.
On the following Wednesday, March
28, the first annual contest of the Nat
ional Literary Society will be held. Six
universities are sending teams of two
men each to debate the question of capi
tal punishment, each university having
one man on each side of the question.
Dr. Homer Hoyt, faculty member of the
Debating Council at the University, has
just returned from a trip to Washington
and is very enthusiastic over the work
being done by the National Literary
Society. The organization is in its in
fancy and plans are being made for
holding annual nation-wide contests in
forensic discussion, dramatics, creative
literature and various other arts. Lib
eral prizes are offered and all expenses
borne by the Society. The president of
the Society, Dr. A. R. Harrison, is a
brother of Fairfax Harrison, president
of the Southern Railroad.
Carolina's representatives in the tri
angular debate with Washington and
Lee and Johns Hopkins are J. W. Dey
tn and C. A. Peeler, affirmative ; Vic
tor X. Young and George Hampton,
negative.
Representatives in the National de
bate are Victor V. Young and J. Y. Kerr,
Jr.
KALIF OF KAVAK AGAIN
The Wigue and Masque announces
a repetition of the Kalif of Kavak
to be given in Memorial Hall on
Monday night, March 26. A large
numher of students and faculty mem
bers have requested that the show
be repeated. Certain changes of the
play itself have been made, and the
repetition should be even a greater
success than was the original per
formance. The following schedule of out-of-town
dates have been determined
upon: Henderson, Wednesday, March
21; Durham, Thursday, March 22;
Pinehurst, Saturday, March 24. Sev
eral other dates are under consideration.

A new system of paying board will
be adopted at Swain Hall after the
Easter holidays, according to announce
ment of Manager Scarboro. Instead
of paying for a month's board in ad
vance and in this way paying for "sev
eral meals that are not eaten, by the
new method each boarder will only pay
for the meals he eats. The management
will issue books of 21 tickets, good
for 21 meals, for $5.75. In this way
the student who wishes to take week
end trips will not be paying board
while he is away. The same advan
tage holds true to those who sleep too
late at various times.
The management of Swain hall stat
ed that it had been aware of the fact
that the old method of paying board
has been unsatisfactory for some time.
and that it. has hp.en very anxi'oilB to
adopt a plan whereby all its boarders
will be pleased.
Under the new plan students will re
ceive the same waiter service as be
fore. The only difference is that they
will hand the man at the door one of
their tickets as they pass out.
DR. GREEN RETURNS
FOR VISIT TO HILL
INFIRMARY EMPTY AS
EPIDEMIC SUBSIDES
For the first time this year the in
firmary is empty. All traces of influenza
have vanished and other causes of in
firmity seem to have desired a resting
spell after examinations.
The recent epidemic, although not ser
ious in individual cases, has been so
widespread, as to cause some little dis
turbance of class-room work. For sev
eral weeksthe infirmary was crowded
to capacity and many patients were
under treatment by Dr. Aberuethy in
their rooms.
Under the direction of Coaches Shep-
ard and Alexander, the freshman base
ball squad is rapidly rounding into
shape An abundance of good material
assures an unusually fast infield. The
outfield is still an uncertain matter,
but will probably turn out to be at
least moderately good.
The pitching staff is almost entirely
undecided, as none of the men work
ing for twirling position show excep
tional ability.
Tho most difficult problem is to find
a man who is good behind the bat. It
is quite possible that someone will be
switched from the infield and trained
for this position.
Prescott, Farrell and Wilson have
been doing the best back-stopping.
Right-handed twirlors of promise are
Phillips, Jones and Batemnn. South
paws who show tho stuff are Scott and
Lefty Jones. Peviu and Albright will
fight it out for the initial sack. Rosa,
McCall, and Bowman will stage a strug
gle over second. Johnson and Thratch-
er have made the best showings at
short. Third seems to havo been cinch
ed absolutely by Thomas. The outfield
will bo chosen from Griffin, Woodard,
Buchanan and Cobb. Failure to pass
two courses may make some of tho men
ineligible.
DAVIDSON MATMEN
WANT ANOTHER MEET
The Davidson College athletic associa
tion has invited the Carolina wrestlers
to again try their skill with the mat
men of that school on March 24. The
offer was declined on account of the
Tar Heels having broken training. How
ever Coach Shapiro has asked that the
offer be again tendered in 102-t.
For the first time in many months
the old post office took on its natural
appearance again. A noticeable crowd
was gathering around a familiar old
friend last Friday night some time be
fore the mail was even begun to be "put
up." This old friend was Dr. Charles
E. Green, better known as "Bull Green"
of last year's Spanish faculty. Dr.
Green has left quite a few "saddle
horses" behind him here at the Uni
versity and all of these instinctively re
membered their old master when he ar
rived on the hill Friday evening and
seemed glad to welcome him back for a
few "bull sessions." ,
Dr. Green had a great reputation for
"riding" when he taught here and he
admits that he rode and rode well too,
but he states that he is glad to come
back and find all of his old pupils sitting
firmly in the saddle now and riding with
ease through the higher Spanish courses,
so he feels that his riding wasn't in vain.
Miss Margaret Eustus of Savannah,
Georgia, has been the guest of Mrs. C.

week.
High school baseball games of the
championship series in the tenth annual
state high school baseball championship
contest will begin immediately after
April 21, according to the leaflet being
sent this week by the extension depart
ment to all high schools of the State.
Since the Spring of 1014, when the
state high school baseball championship
contests had their beginning, nine con
tests have been held and much interest
Iins been shown throughoutahe entire
State. Eligibility requirements have
been constantly strengthened from those
of the first in order that athletics and
scholarship and clean amateur stand
ards might be brought about in every
school.
The extension division and general
athletic association of the University re
cently published a four-page leaflet con
cerning this contest which they are send
ing to all the high schools of the State.
This leaflet gives a brief history of the
contest from its beginning and the fif
teen regulations which govern the eligi
bility of high schools for entrance.
Regulation five contains the principal
change in this year's regulations over
those of last year. This regulation calls
for a favorable scholastic standing for
(he three months or longer fall term of
the present school year (1922-23) on
the part of all students who wish to
represent their high school In the champ
ionship series.
University men on the high school

PROUTY MAKES GIFT TO
GEOLOGY DEPARTMENT
Dr. W. F. Prouty, of the geology de
partment, has recently given his col
lection of Silurian fossils to the Uni
versity. This collection contains about
two thousand specimens, collected large
ly from the eastern, east central and
southern part of the United States. It
contains sixty co-type forms of recent
ly described species of molluscia, mol
luscoidea and arthropoda from the Meso
Silurian of Maryland.
It is not probable that the collection
will be completely unpacked until the
proposed new geological building is avail
able.
The Junior Oratorical Contest is to
be held in Gorrard hall next Thursday
night at 8:30 o'clock. In the prelim
inaries, which have already been held
two men were chosen from each society
to take part. These wore E. H. Hart
sell and M. A. James, from the Di soci
ety, and G. Y. Ragsdale and J. R. Alls
brook from the Phi.
The winner of this contest will be
awarded the Julian S. Carr medal in
oratory, which for the past several
years has been offered by General Jul
ian S. Carr, of Durham, an alumnus of
the University and formerly a member
of the Dialectic Literary society.
Through the reputation of the giver
and through the nature of the work,
the wining of this medal has become
quite an honor. In 1919 it was won by
Albert Coates, who, with the same
speech, won the Peace Oratorical con
test of that year. The next year, 1920,
it was won by B. C. Brown; in 1921
Tom Warren received it, and last year
it was carried off by V. V. Young. The
contest which is to be hold Friday
night will determine who is to be the
next man to receive this honor.
The contest will begin at 7 o'clock
sharp in order to be through in time
for tho McNair lecture at 8.

Friday Night.
The McNair Lectures for this year will
be given by Dean Roscoe Pound, of the
Law School of Harvard University. The
general subject of the series this year
is "Law and Morals." Three lectures
will be given in Gerrard Hall on the

Co-eds, Graduates and Foreign
Students Almost Unanimously
in Favor Others Opposed.
The result of the vote takon on the
building of a co-ed dormitory Btands:
In favor of the building, 173; opposed
to the building, 937; total vote, 1110;
majority opposed, 764.
This vote is very representative of
the student body, according to J. O.
Harmon, chairman of tho committee
appointed to count the votes, since it is
the third largest vote ever cast on the
Hill. The largest vote was cast last
fall in the debate expenses question,
totalling 1303; the second largest was
the final ballot for president of the
student body last spring, totalling 1247.
Mr. Harmon further substantiates the
representativeness of the ballots cast
last Friday by pointing to the fact that
at least 200 students who had finished
their examinations were off the Hill
when the vote was taken; also many
men refused to vote at all on the
grounds of the unfairness and preju
dice of the ballot presented which is
said to have contained argumonts for
the negative.
Three classes of students voted al
most solidly in favor of the proposed
dormitory; namely, the-, co-eds them
selves, the graduate students, and for
eign students. The law school and the
undergraduate student body, on the
other hand, voted largely against the
dormitory.
The building committee of the board
of trustees meets on the Hill this week
and official steps will bo takon to pre
sent the attitude of the student body.
G. Watts Hill will probably be appoint
ed to present the facts of the action
of the student body to the committee,
it was announced.
Tho ballot drawn up and presented
to the campus by a committee consist
ing of J. P. Trotter, Grady Pritchard,
Frank Coxe and S. M. Cathey, reads
as follows:
Believing that co-education at the
University of North Carolina, save for
graduate and professional students,
will work to the permanent detriment
of tho University, and, inasmuch as
adequate provision has been made for
undergraduate women students at
North Carolina Collego for Women and
other state institutions for women, and,
inasmuch as facilities for men students
aro so inadequate that each year hun-
Ireds of men aro refused admission,
and, inasmuch as double facilities for
men and women, such as athletics, etc.,
would entail a waste of money, and,
nasmuch as the University has always
(oen n college of, and for men,
which fact largely accounts for its
trcngth of character; therefore,
"I, the undersigned student of the
University of North Carolina, oppose
tho appropriation of money for the cs-
iblishment of u woman's dormitory at
the University.

"Considering tlio above, and other
premises, I am in favor of the appro
priation for a woman's building.
