TRACK MEN LEAVE IN GOOD SHAPE
FOR TRIANGULAR TILT AT CLEMSON
Coach Bob Pilots Fifteen Men
to South Carolina.
REAL DOPE VERY SCARCE
Clemson Is Probably Stronger of
Opposing Teams University
of Georgia Considered Easy.
TEST FOR CAROLINA TEAM
Hob Fetzer left to-day with 15 mpn
in tow for Calhoun, South Carolina,
where the Tar Heel track team will
meet the University of Georgia and Clem
son College in a triangular meet.
It has been impossible to get any real
dope on either of the Tar Heel's op
ponents. Reports that have drifted to
the hill by one source or another indi
cate that Clemson is the stronger of the
two. Georgia is generally considered to
-be easy.
The men sure to make the trip Wed
nesday night were : Sinclair, Woodard,
Yarborough, Coxe, Milstead, Jonas, and
Abernathy. There has been a constant
improvement all along in the times of
the vnrious events, and they have now
grown into respectability. Coxe is run
ning the quarter in 52 and is capable of
making it in 51 when in good form ; he
is running the half in 2 :4 and should
make this in close to 2 flat of all goes
well.
Moore threw a Charley Horse in time
trials a few days back and it is doubtful
if he will be able to participate in the
dashes to-morrow. This throws a load
of lead into Carolina's balloon since it
leaves Sinclair as her only representa
tive in these two events. The gentle
man from Wilmington will be a good bet
though and promises to let the "Geech
es" know that he has been there before
the meet is over.
With Yarborough and Woodard on the
low hurdles Carolina should take at least
first and third places. They have been
running them in 27:2 which is good time
for North Carolina hurdlers. Yarbor
ough will also be in the broad jump, and
has been checking 21 feet. Woodard
will be in a number of additional events
broad jump, javelin, and high jump.
The mile will be ably handled by
Dale Hanson and Jonas, Hanson is
Funning the mile in early season form
in 4 :-IO, and Jonas form has shown a
remarkable improvement over last year.
Jonas will also be in the half.
If the events are run in collegiate
order Carolina will suffer another ser
ious blow in the two mile, since Andy
Milstead, good track man that he is
could hardly run this event after having
finished the 4-10, the most grinding of
nil races.
Abernathy will hurl the javelin and
has been looking mighty good on the
discus with his 112 foot heaves. Cor
bitt may assist him in the discus and put
the shot along with Melver. Corbitt
has shown a decided slump this week in
his work. If hi' develops himself there
is no reason why be shouldn't make one

ALUMNI REVIEW JUST
OFF PRESS CONTAINS
ATTRACTIVE FEATURES
The April number of the Alumni Re
view is just off the press and has al
ready been sent out to list of subscrib
ers. The front f the issue has a per
spective of the Carolina Inn that will
be constructed here for the purpose ol
giving the old town a place where alum
ni and their families can come and
spend a few days looking over their
old campus.
Among the articles included in this
issue 5s a very interesting one on the
University and Women Students, which
gives an account of the recent uprising
of the fctndent body against the admit
tance of women as undergraduates. It
also contains the statement that Presi
dent Chase gave out in regard to the
opinion of the University on the co-ed
question. The comments "Heard and
Seen Around the Well" are especially
good and will rrove of i',tere9t to tl,e
alumni who have this as the only meth
od of learning the doings around the
Hill.
An unusual feature of this issue is
a cartoon, on the way to Chapel Hill
for the big aluinui reunions of this
year. This is the first time that the
management lias had such a cartoon and
it helps out the issue considerably. As
a whole the issue is well up to stand
ard.
JOURNALISM PROFESSOR

Charles N. Feidelson, professor of
journalism in William and Mary
College, is to speak at the Presby
terian church on Sunday night, April
15. His subject will be "American

FIRST COLLEGE SORORITY
AT UNIVERSITY INSTALLED
Dr. Chase Formally Announces Instal
lation of Chapter of Chi Omega
One of Largest Sororities.
The first college sorority at the Uni
versity has just been installed, accord
ing to an announcement authorized by
President Chase. It is Beta Epsilon
chapter of the Chi Omega national fra
ternity, formerly known locally as
Lambda Tau. It was installed as a
chapter of Chi Omega on January 20,
1923, "formal anouncement being with
held," says President Chase, "at the
request of the University."
The members of the local chapter are
May Belle Penn, of Greensboro; Gene
vieve McMillan, of Red Springs; Sue
Byrd Thompson, of Norfolk, Va.; Wini
fred Potts, of Davidson; Kate Culpep
per and May Culpepper, of Fayetteville,
Ga.; Lula Martin Mclver, of Greens

Sadie Hanes Connor, Helen Meyer, Ruth
Steiner and Etta Piedson, of Chapel

are Mrs. Paul J. Weaver, Mrs. Gustave
Braune and Mrs. R. E. Coker.
Chi Omega is one of the largest soror
ities in the United States, having more
than 60 chapters, 20 of which are in
Southern colleges. The sororities takes
a great interest in social service work
and is everywhere noted for its fine in
fluence among the women students of
the colleges and universities where it
is represented. The installation of a
chapter here is regarded as an event
of more than passing importance for the
women students of the University.
U. N. C. Press Will
Publish Monographs
The Board of Governors of the Uni
versity of North Carolina Press an
nounces that beginning July 1, 1925,
the Press proposes the establishment of
a new series of publications to be enti
tled "The University of North Caro
lina Monographs." The general series
will be subdivided under three lesser
series which are as follows: Social Sci
ence and History Series, Language and
Literature Series, and Science Series.
A fund of 1(2,000 has been set aside
by the University for the publication
of the three series. The directors have
announced also that manuscripts for
publication in any of these series will
be received by them.
The Board of Governors has also ap
nroved the principle that the copyright
to the McNair and Weil lectures shall
rest, in the University of North Caro
lina Press, and that the lecturers be
informed, at the time of their invita
tion, that their fee shall cover the de
livery of the manuscript to the Press
oml also the surrender of the copyright.
In order to devise ways and means to
make this principle effective the follow
ing committee was appointed: H. W.
Odum, W. C. Coker and Louis craves.

MONDAY FOR WESTERN
TOUR OF FOURTEEN DAYS
Indications Point to a Successful
Trip "Peggy," "Mamma" and
"Agatha" to Be Presented.
GREAT SUCCESS EXPECTED
Billy Devin of Oxford broke up a
perfectly good pitcher's duel in the sixth
inning Wednesday in the game with
Durham High School by poling out a
home run. With two out and nobody on
base. Sigley let Deviu's fly glide through
his fingers and before the ball was re
covered Devin had gambolled about the
circuit for the only run of the game.
Sigley was replaced by Maynard in the
next inning.
Durham threatened to store away the
old game in the first canto wdien with
the bases full and nobody out Semon
Holt came to the bat. However, Phil
lips proved himself master of the situa
tion and Holt hit into a double. Carden
followed and was thrown out at first.
Carolina was slaughtered iu one, two,
three order, Devin ending with a long
fly to centerfield.
Both sides threatened in the third.
Satterfield reached second on error and
was sacrificed to third by Byrd. He
died there. Ross made first while Cher
ry was juggling the ball and went to sec
ond by the robber's route. Cobb beat out
a pop fly but Ross put an end to af
fairs by being called out at home.
In the seventh inning Carolina again
threatened when Prescott opened with a
hit and was safe at first. He went out
trying to steal second. Hildebrande fol
lowed with a hot single to third. Sec
ond base was pilfered in easy style while
the pitcher napped. Johnson then lined
out another hot drive down the third
base line which was brought into tow
by Holt's pretty catch. Hildebrande
was then thrown out at the home plate
as a result of slow base running.
Durham died an easy death in the
eighth leaving one man stranded otf sec
ond. The freshmen followed with threats
of a merry-go-round when Phillips made
first on a pretty hit into right field.
Uoss reached first while Phillips was
being tagged at second. Ross then stole
second. Cobb came thru with a neat
Texas Leaguer sending Ross to third.
Cobb slipped over to the second station.
Cherry tightened up and Devin was out
on an easy fly. Thomas ended the game
for Carolina with a hot one towards

CLASSES ALL DAY MAY
BE POLICY NEXT YEAR
Purpose of Measure Is to Economize
Time and Space Will Be Dis
cussed by Faculty.
At the next meeting of the faculty
the administrative group will recom
mend that next year the University
adopt a. schedule of eight one-hour peri
ods for the day, with a half-hour for
chapel, which will make the Univer
sity's day begin at S-.30 and run con
tinuously until 5. According to this
plan there will be no formal intermis
sion for the noon meal, which will be
come a matter for the individual stu
dent or professor to arrange in terms
of his schedule and his personal consid
erations. This will provide for the
periods to be lengthened five minutes
and also add all extra period to the day,
which will help relieve the shortage of
space by which the University will be
confronted next year.
Afternoon laboratory classes, if de
sired, can be held from 2 to 4, instead
of from 2:30 to 4:30 as at present. In
other wavs a serious attempt will be
mado to distribute better the load
through the day, in order to utilize
most effectively the classroom space
which the University has at the pres
ent. For that purpose a schedule com
mittee, consisting of the deans of the
undergraduate schools and the Regis
trar,, has been nsTced to undertake the
shaping of a schedule, taking into ac
count departmental preferences so far
as possible, but keeping in mind stead
ily the effectiveness of the University's
working day as a whole.
f this ruiing is put into practice next
year it will mean that a student can

The Carolina Playmakers will leave
Monday afternoon on their Fifth State
Tour, which will extend westward as
far as Asheville and return, covering
a period of fourteen days. The program
for the tour consists of "Mamma" by
Ernest Thompson, "Peggy" by Harold
Williamson, and "Agatha" by Jane Toy.
The latter play was carried on the
Eastern tour during the winter quarter
and "l'egg" is a revival.
The indications are that the tour will
be the most successful on record. George
V. Denny, Business Manager of the
Playmakers, has recently returned from
a trip through all the points to be cov
ered and states that everywhere much
enthusiasm was manifested. The trip
was far easier to book than ever before
and the management was tumble to meet
nearly all the requests for performances.
Since Mr. Denny's return several re
quests for dates have been received which
the riaymakers cannot fill.
Everybody has heard of the Carolina
Playmakers now. and in a number of
places the coming of the troupe is to
be a sign for a get-together of Carolina
alumni, with Spring bnnquets, et cetera,
in order. In Greensboro, where the
company will play on April 27, the per
formance will form a part of a great
Carolina week-end. On that evening
there is an alumni banquet at 7:00 p.
m. and the Playmakers at 8:30. On the
next day there is the Carolina-Virginia
Baseball Game, followed that evening by
a mammoth ball.
Performances nre to be given in ten
Western cities and two pities in the
Eastern half of the state. The itinerary
is as follows, commencing with April
tti and' extending ' through April 28:
Ilillsboro, Reidsville, Winston-Salem,
Salisbury, Charlotte, Hickory, Asheville,
Morganton. Lenoir. High Point, Greens
boro, and Pinehurst.
The personnel of the tour is as fol
lows: Charlie Gold, Hoyt Boone, Spenc
er Murphy, H. S. Pickens, George Koch,
Kitty Lee Frazier, Sue Byrde Thompson,
Elizabeth Taylor, Mary Traill Yellott,
Nancy Battle, X. C. Barefoot, H. C
Klingenschmitt, J. E. Hawkins, George
V. Denny, and Fredrick II. Koch.

LAW REVIEW COMES OUT
THREE MONTHS DELAYED
Articles of Interest to Lawyers and
Laymen Feature January
Number.
QUAKERS ARE EXPECTED TO GIVE
TAR HEELS A STIFF ENCOUNTER
The January number of the North
Carolina Law Review, rendered three
months late by unanticipated editorial
difficulties, made its appenranee Wed
nesday, April 11. The April issue will
appear the first week in May, and the
June issue about comeiicement time.
The June number will be devoted to a
review of the public laws enacted by
the General Assembly of 1923.
The leading article in the current
number is a discussion of the economic
and legal aspects of the controversy be
tween the state banks of North Caro
lina, Georgia, Kentucky, and Oregon,
and the Federal Keserve System over
the par clearance of chocks. It is con
tributed by Prof. C. T. Murchison, of
the Schol of Commerce of the Univer
sity of North Carolina. Dean L. P.
McGchee, of the School of Law of the
University, has an article on an im
portant aspect of real property law,
estoppel and rebutter in North Caro
lina. Prof. Lyman P. Wilson of the
College of Law of Cornell University,
is the author of an article entitled,
"Limitations on the Attractive Nui
sance Doctrine," in which an early de
cision of Judge H. G. Conor, then a
member of the Supreme Court of North
Carolina, and a recent decision of Jus
tice Holmes of the Supreme Court of
the United States, form the basis for
what the author regards as the solu
tion of the problem. Professor M. T
Van Hecke, the editor-in-charge of the
Review, contributes an article on Leg
(Coutinucd on Pago Four)
SPRING ELECTIONS
BEGIN NEXT WEEK
The first of the spring elections
will be held next Monday. At that
time the men who were nominated
for officers of the Y. M. C. A. will
be voted upon.
J. O. Harmon, president of the stu
dent body, announced last week that
the nominations for next year's pres
ident of the student body will be
held in chapel Monday morning and
that the voting on these men will
take place the following Monday.
CAMPUS SWAMPED WITH
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
County Clubs Busy Entertaining Visi
tors, Especially Girls Active
Week-End for All.
The latter part of this week the cam
pus has boon literally swamped with
the high school debaters and athletes.
All sections of the state are represented
here in the group of high school stu
dents who come here to compete for
honors on the track and tennis courts
and in debating. AH the county clubs
have been busy entertaining the repre
sentatives from their particular coun
ties. The work has been especially en
thusiastic if some of the youthful ora
tors were high school lassies.
The week-end is one that every stu
dent looks forward to and enjoys. The
trark meet and the tenuis matches both
come for their share of spectators and
supporters among the students. This
is the one season of the year that all
students are interested in debating.
Last night, for examplo, there were a
good number of debates going on all
over the campus and in each hall, so
far as can be learned as the Tar Heel
goes to press, there was a good audi
ence besides the presiding officers and
the judges. And then this morning
many students were rejoicing because
High School week is here, due to the
fact that they received grats as their
prof was serving on a committee of
judges.
Nearly everywhere this morning one
could hear the question, "Well, what
did your team do last night?" This
would bring forth the answer that they
won or lost as the case might be. The
Carolina men become high school stu
dents again, at least in spirit, whoa
their old "alma maters" compete with
the "alma mater" of their room-mate
or class-mate.
NEW HOLIDAY RULE
HAS BEEN PASSED
There has been a rule passed that no
class that comes just before a holiday
can be moved up or omitted. Just be
fore the Easter holidays several classes,
by, special arrangements, were cither
moved up or were omitted. Under the
rule now in effect, from now on no such
arrangements under any circumstances
shall be made, but that the work of
the University, as normally scheduled,
shall continue up to the last moment
before the beginning of the holiday.
Miss Alma Holland, assistant in the
department of botany, spent part of
the Easter holidays in Lancaster, Pa.,
at the offices of the Intelligencer Print
ing company. The Tntelilgencer com
pany has taken over the publication of
Dr. W. C. Coker 's new book on water
molds, "The Saprolegniaceae. " Miss
Holland reports that the book will be
in from the press very soon.

ball Fans.
THE LINE-UP UNCERTAIN
Doak's Quakers from Guilford are
billed to display their baseball strength
before local fans tomorrow afternoon
when Carolina will he seen in action on
Emerson field for the first time this
season. Reports have it that Guilford
is much stronger this year, and may
afford the Tar Heels a stiff fight. Re
gardless of how close or one-sided the
game turns out to be, there arc sev
eral players of more than ordinary abil
ity on the visiting aggregation, there
fore fans are sure to see some good
baseball.
Local officials were at a loss to ex
plain the failure of Roanoke College to
appear Tuesday afternoon. Everything
including "Ham and Eggs" was in
roadiness for the opening gamo, so
Coach Fetzer had the varsity and scrubs
to stage au exhibition in order to re
pay the crowd for turning out in such
large numbers. The regulars greeted
Contrane with five consecutive hits and
slammed tho ball consistently through
out, thereby demonstrating the fact
that they mean to continue their hard
hitting of the first three games.
The team lined up Tuesday with Shir
ley, McLean, McDonald and Jones iu
tho infield; Bonner, Sweetmau and Car
michacl doing tho fly-chasing; and Bry
son and McGee for the battery. It is
possible that Captain Morris will bo in
shape to go behind tho but against
Guilford, whilo as usual, tho pitching
choice will be a mystery until the last
minute. Frank Coxe was recently de
clared eligible under tho rules govern
ing athletics at the University. Many
are anxiouB to see him under fire, in
order to ascertain just how far his work
will go toward replacing the loss of
"Lefty" Wilson and Llewellyn. Cof
fey and Ferebee, in addition to Bryson,
will be in condition to occupy tho
mound against tho Quakers.
REPRESENTATIVE CHOSEN
FOR SOUTHERN CONTEST
u the preliminaries held last Tues
day night, E. H. Hartsell was chosen
to represent the University in tho
Southern Oratorical contest which is to
be held at John Hopkins University in
Baltimore on the night of April 14.
The title of his speech is "Common
Sense Patriotism." At the same timo
M. A. James was chosen as alternate.
The other men who contested wore
C. A. Peeler, C. K. Spencer and J. K.
Allslirook.
FROSH TENNIS TEAM
DEFEATS GREENSBORO
A representative freshman tennis
team picked by Manager Jeiuignn won
its match with Greensboro High school,
on April M, by the score of 5 to 1.
This final score hardly indicates the
close playing throughout. The four
Greensboro players were well matched,
W. Scott and C. Scott having a slight
edge over their teammates,
Whitaker and Milstead played the
best tenis for the freshmen, although
Whitaker lacked stiff training, and Mil
stead neede practice. Carmichael won
his singles match easily, and played a
fair all-round game. Cordon was over
cautious in his match, and allowed W.
Scott to outsteady him. He hit out
more freely in his doubles match with
Whitaker and played a good game..

Singles Matches
Whitaker (Carolina) vs. C. Scott
(Greensboro), 6-3, 6-3.
