Satyr Carnival yt mtti Satyr Carnival Volume XXXI. Chapel Hill, N. C, Tuesday, May 22, 1923 Number 57 INTER-CLUB CASE HELD BY BUDDING LAWYERS Imaginary Case of Stiles vs. Rail .way Argued by the Two Law Clubs of the University. INTERESTING ARGUMENTS The annual inter-club case between the Manning and Ruflin Law Clubs of the University Law School was held last Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock in the Thi Hull. S. Jl. Whedbee and A. L. Purringtou of the Ruffin Law Club were the attorneys for the Apellants, while Andrew Joyner and C. B. McKae acted as attorneys for the Apellee, in the case of John Stiles vs. City Railway Coui naiiy in the Supereme Court of the Ruf fin and Manning Law Club competition. The facts of the ease were : The plaintiff, who was on his way home, attempted to board a street car at one of the regular down town starting points, during the late afternoon rush hour. Before he had actually entered the car, and while he was ou the first step of the rear platform, he noted that the ear was packed full, and thereupon de cided to back out and off and take the nexv. car. While in the act of attempt ing to do so, one of the starters employ ed by the company motioned for the car to start, and at the same time, not understanding what the plaintiff was try ing to do, pushed the plaintiff into the car. The plaintiff was forced to stand on the platform by reason of the car's be ing full of passengers. After the car had proceeded a distance of about five blocks, and before plaintiff had paid his fare, the motorman, in order to avoid a collision with a heavy truck, stopped the car with such suddenness and force that plaintiff was violently thrown against an iron stanchion where by he suffered contusions and leceratious about the face and head, in addition to a severely wrenched back. At the trial, the defendant moved for a non-suit on the ground that the plain tiff's evidence showed that he was negli gent in boarding a crowded car and standing on the platform, and further that there was no evidence that the de fendant was negligent or that the injury was due to its negligence. The motion for a non-suit was denied. The defendant excepted and appealed from the verdict and judgment in favor, of the plaintiff for eight lrmdred dollars. Judge R. W. Winston acted as Chief Justice, with Judge Sykes, of Durham, and L. I'. MeGehee acting as Associate Justices. The decision of the judges was as fol lows : The judgment of the lower court is af firmed with regard to the first exception, since the Railway Company was negli gent in placing a passenger on a crowded on r. The judgement of the lower court is reversed with regard to the second point, because the stopping of a car to avoid an accident fails to make out o "prima facie'" case of negligence on the part of the Railway Company.

POMONA CLINCHES STATE TITLE BY SHUTTING OUT DURHAMJALL TUSSERS Barbee's All Around Work Fea tures Final Game Durham Hosiery in Evidence. DURHAM IS OUTCLASSED IS ELECTED TO HEAD PUBLICATION BOARD Knox Massey and Ralph Maultsby Win Other Places Small Vote Cast. The last Publications Union election came off Friday when the president and student members of the Publications Union for next year were selected. Reed Kitchin with a vote of 571 won the right to preside at the meetings of the Union next year. Knox Massey ran Kitchin a close race for the presidency, receiving 532 votes. Ralph Maultsby is the third member of the board with 431 votes. J. E. Hawkins polled 375, while Steve Brody brought up the rear with a measly 85. The candidates for the Publications Union offices were nominated in chapel Thursday. All nominations were pre ceded by glowing tributes to the ability of the candidates, especially Brody. The election Friday showed that two-thirds of the student body is abiut filled up on politicking and voting. The Ath letic Association election is the only important election yet to be held. COLORED COOKS CLASH IN FRONT OF CHURCH Super Chef of Cafeteria Gets Worst of Scrap Alexander Put in Jail. HENDERSON ADDS NEW BOOK TO LONG LIST The Extension Department of the Uni versity has recently published a pam phlet on Relativity written by Dr. Archi bald Henderson. The pamphlet is divided into three chapters, viz., "The World We Live In," "The Special Theory of Relativity." and lastly "The General Theory of Relativity." The pamphlet fully sets forth and il lustrates the principles of special and general Relativity. It was written primarily for the layman but the ma terial is put down with utmost precision and is truly a scholarly production. In order to give the pnmphlet a more pleas ing appearance and to make it more in teresting, Dr. Henderson has cleverly trimmed it with rich quotations. One of the chief features of the pamphlet is the clear-cut and interest ing way in which the author points out Einstein's Hypothesis as applied to the physical universe. In the way of ex planation, the pamphlet is filled with many plates and diagrams which makes it interesting and intelligible to even the meager student. Last Thursday night a regular old ime cutting fracas was held in front of the Baptist church when Gooch's lead cook waylaid Silas Lloyd, super hef of the University Cafeteria. Silas ame out at the worse end of the scrap vith a cut ou his head requiring ten stitches. But even at that Alexander for such is the name of the aggressor didn't get off so lightly since he is at present in the calaboose waiting for trial without bond. It was about 10 o'clock when the people living in the neighborhood were called from their houses by the loud cries of Silas who affirmed that ho was in dire need of aid and that Alexander's intentions were undoubtedly not of the best sort. This incident is much to be regretted by the student body at large, since the meals at both of the places will surely suffer through the luck of the guiding hand and thus cause indigestion winch will in turn cause poor grades and so on ad infinitum. The speedy recovery of Silas and the exodus of Alexander from the hands of justice is hoped for so that Silas may again be seen grin ning from behind piles of meat and Alexander's culinary gems may be enjoyed. HIGH SCHOOL OUTING Last week the Chapel Hill High School held a picnic at Oconeeche, near Hills boro. Three truck lods went over full of boys and girls enjoying their outing. The trucks were decorated in the high school colors. The trip was a success and everyone enjoyed themselves to the fullest both literally and figuratively. Walter J. Matherly, associate profes sor of Business Administration in the University, delivered the high school com mencement address at the Whitney con solidated school in southern Alamance county, hist week. Tonight he speaks to the Civitan Club of High Toint on the subject, "Potentialities of Civic Clubs." BISHOP PENICK LECTURES HERE Bishop Penick, North Carolina's latest ordained bishop, who deliv ered the University Sermon last No vember, will give a series of two lectures Wednesday and Thursday nights at 8:30 on "The Teachings of the Bible as Applied to the Ten dencies of Modern Thought." The Durham Bull Yearlings were com pletely prostrated by the Pomona High School last Saturday and sent home cov ered with the dust of Emerson Field and the small end of a 5 and 0 score. It was Barbee's arm that won the game, the hefty nioundsman striking out nine men, allowing only three hiugles and slamming out a home run in the second frame. The game was played before a fair size crowd, generously !esprmkled with many beautiful young ladies whose nether extremities in many cases were generously clad in brilliant red Hole proofs. Durham's first hit was collected by catcher Garden in the fifth canto when he hit one to short and beat it out to first while the shortstop was playing with the ball. The other two connec tions came in the' seventh, Holt and Carden singling in rapid succession. Bnrbee toyed with Durham in the first. W. White was whiffed, Satterfield flew out to the first baseman and Byrd was thrown out at the initial sack. Pomona threatened to score in their half of the inning when Regan, first man up was given first on an error by Read. Jes sup popped up to Cherry who turned it into a double play by catching Regan at first. York swung thrice. With noue on aud none out Barbee poled out a four base hit over center in the second aud scored enough runs by himself to have won the game. In the third siesta two mnrkers were hung up by I'omona on two hits and two errors. Jessup singled and went to third on Holt's error. York followed with a sec ond single and he and Jessup crossed the plate when Read threw the ball over home in an effort to catch the latter. An other couplet was shoved across in the fifth. Regau doubled to left aud was brought in by Jessup's double to right. The hard hitting second baseman went to third on Y'ork's infield out aud scored on Barbee's long sacrifice to deep center. The Durham boys threatened to turn the seventh into a sure enough rally when singles by Holt and Carden placed two men on liases with none out. Rend failed to deliver and Hew out to the third baseman. E. White then cracked a ball square on the nose and sent it flitting away with a home run labeled attached. But like the castles in the nir the Bull City hopes crumbled ns Boucher made a spectacular one-handed catch while run ning at full speed. Neither pitcher issued a pass, an un usual feat in high school ball, only one sacrifice hit was made and only two bases were pilfered. Carden of Durham (Continued on page three) BASEBALL LIONS PENNED UP FOR FORTNIGHT, LICK CHOPS FOR BAPTISTS Importance of Trinity Game De pends on Outcome of Wake Forest Clash. TEAM IS IN GOOD SHAPE Casey Morris will lead his lions over to Wake Forest Thursday to do brittle with the Baptist nine ou their home lot and attempt to revenge the crushing 9 to 3 defeat that was parcelled out to his team on the efghth of May. Completely recovered from the wear and grind of their long Southern tour and placed again in the race for state honors by Trinity"s defeat at the hands of Davidson, the Tar Heels will do all in their power to show the Wake Forest club that it was a played out and worn out team that they defeated on Emer son Field aud not the Tor Heel team that five days later swamped State Col lege 11 to 4. Upon this game hinges the importance of the Trinity game on June 5. If the game is lost or even tied the game with the Methodist brethren will be merely au attempt to avenge the defeat by Trinity earlier in the season. If the Wake Forest game is won then there will hang upon the Trinity game not only sweet revenge but also perfectly good claims for state honors, for should Car olina be able to take both games in tow the only claim that the Durham college could lay upon the state laurels would lie the University"s tie game with Guil ford, which is far from being strong enough to substantiate a baseball cham pionship. The Tar Heels are out for blood aud will be contented with nothing less. With six wins, six losses aud two draws to their credit the team must win both g'imes to place the balance on the fav orable side, and now-a-days its no longer a custom of teams from this institution to have a balance in any other column than the one ou the credit side and Mor ris doesn't desire a whit thnt his team should start a backward movement. The batting of Caruiichael and the fielding of Bonner have been two of the outstanding features of the team of lute. The dope stingers had it all figured out that Cart would make a good fielder on account of his speed, but not much of a batter. Now Caruiichael is perched within three lone points of the three hun dred mark, which nil goes to prove that as usual, nil dope slingers are wrong, with the standing exception, of course, of our own Buck Midyette. Bonner has reduced his section of the park to an Elysian Field for the pitcher and a veritable Hades for the batter. In the State game he pulled down seven lofty ones without the semblance of n bobble. Ferebee has borne the brunt of pitch ing thus far and has shown himself enp ( Continued on page three) COVETED CROWN OF GOLDEN FLEECE IS BESTOWED UPON SIX JUNIORS AND THREE SENIORS THE GOLDEN FLEECE SELECTION Hon.

The William Cain Student Chapter of the America n Society of Civil Engi neers held its annual banquet in the laboratory room of Phillips hall today. This banquet is a thing that has been looked forward to all the year and to day it proved to be just as successful as was anticipated. Aside from the temporary enjoyment which the banquet furnished the stu dents and faculty, the society was pre sented with a gift which will be a thing of lasting admiration and pleas ure. This gift was a very fine picture of Major William Cain, the founder of the society, who made the presenta tion himself. Major Cain presented the portrait modestly but with a few im pressive and well chosen words. The portrait will be placed in the li brary to serve as a memorial for one who has done so much to make the en gineering school of the University the best in the state, and among the leading schools of the country. At this banquet the society also in stalled its officers for ucxt year. For president the Rociety chose J. N. Gilbert to succeed O. E. Martin; for vice presi dent L. I. Lassitcr to succeed A. S. Chase; for secretary, W. M. Price to succeed H. A. Lawrence, and for trcas urer It. L, llosenberger to succeed R. J. Morton. Carolina's Highest Honor Award ed at Society's Annual "Tap ping" Friday Night. HON. J. J. PARKER SPEAKS Carolina Playmakers Recognized by the Fleece for the First Time in History. To six juniors and three sen iors was awarded Carolina's high est honor when the annual "tap ping" of the senior society of the Golden Fleece took place in Me morial hall Friday night. The nine campus leaders "tapped" this year were as follows: Roy Morris, Gastonia; C. B. Colton, Boston, Mass.; C. S. Hampden, Chapel Hill; R, C. Carmichael, Durham; John Purser, Charlotte; LeGrande Everett, Rockingham ; Earl Hart sell, Stanfield; W. W. Gwynn, Leaksville; Jack Allsbrook, Ro anoke Rapids. Hon. J. J. Parker, Republican can didate for Governor at the last election, delivered a strong and impressive talk, describing in vivid terms the peak that; civilization has reached and the crying call of the world for real men, men such as those always sought for by the Golden Fleece. He was introduced by Professor Horace Williams, honorary mombor of the Fleece, who also traced briefly the founding and early begin nings of the organization, paying trib ute to the unbiased method ever em ployed in selecting its new men, "never allowing for a moment any personal feeling to enter in." Alan McGhee, president of the soci ety, spoke briefly on the problom that faced the Fleece this year and the man ner in whieh it was solved. He ex pressed his wish that the selection would please the campus, and added that the organization was unanimously satisfied that it had chosen the most" deserving and most worthy men. The Fleece man must be a real leader, one who has distinguished himself in gome phase of University life, possessing along with that tho necessary charac teristics of the ideal University man. He must be potential, with certain dis tinguishing attitudes, according to Mr. McGhee. Following this talk the traditional robed figures appeared in tho doorway and the "tapping" began with these mystic persons wandering about the hall and finally mounting tho stage where Mr. Parker was fairly jerked from his seat and the Golden Fleece rib bons were pinned on him as the first to be "tapped." Tho audience voiced approval with a long, vigorous applause. When Mr. Parker was in the Univer sity as a student the Golden Fleece was ffrst organized, and he was offered mem bership at that time but rejected be cause of the peculiar condition that existed then between the fraternity anil non-fraternity mon on the campus. It was the feeling then that tho Fleece was a new fraternity rising up soon to (Continued on page three) ACACIA FRATERNITY GIVES SPRING DANCE SENIOR CLASS BANQUET The Senior class will hold its an nual banquet on Wednesday night, May 23.
