BAPTISTS BOW IN DEFEAT AS
TAR HEEL SLUGGERS HIT THE
OLD AGATE HARD AND OFTEN
Defeat for Baptist Nine Places
Fetzer's Men in Running for
Tie in State Championship.
HEAVY HITTING CONTEST
Wake Forest Team Was Weak
ened Somewhat by Absence of
Stringfield and Clarke.
The University's championship aspira
ions cast off its swaddling clothes and
.mt on full-fledged long pants last Thurs
day when the Tar Heels completely snow
id Wake Forest under by a score of 13
to i on Gore Field before a good-sized
jrowd attending the Wake Forest com
mencement. The Baptist nine was considerably
rippled by the absence of Stringfield
nd Clarke who had left college before
the finals to enter professional baseball.
Bryson held forth on the mound for
the first five innings and yielded only
one hit while his team mates were pil
ing up a tolal of nine runs. With the
game safely on ice, Coach Bill sent in
Ferebee to take some exercise. He travel
ed at an easy gait, and gave the Wake
Forest team seven hits in four innings
which nil resulted in a sum total of six
runs.
Two runs were chalked up in the first
inning by Carolina. McDonald made first
afely on error and was sent to second
M-hen Bonner was walked. He theu
tole third and Bonner lost no time in
pilfering second. Morris singled and
brought in Monk. Bonner went to third
on a passed hall and came home on the
next play. A good old timey boss race
was staged in the second when exactly
even men were eased across the plate
by the University nine. Stanley John

field on May 8 and thereby earned his
reputation as a good pitcher, was knock

Shirley christened Gore Field with its
first and only home run of the year in
the fourth canto.
The Wake Forest score was not quite
so prolific. She jumped on Ferebee in
the sixth and hung up four counters, and
tried to make folks believe that she was
staging a sure enough rally in the ninth
when two runs were made. However

OXFORD STUDENT PAYS
VISIT TO UNIVERSITY
Kenneth Lindsey, Young Englishman, is
Favorably Impressed With Ameri
can Institutions and Customs.
Kenneth M. Lindsey, an Oxford Uni
versity student and debater, stopped over
in Chapel Hill for a few days last week
for the purpose of inspecting the Com
merce School. Mr. Lindsey came to
America on a debating trip, expecting to
stay only two weeks but lie was so ini
pressisl with American institutions and
customs that he decided to stay longer
and has remained already eight months.
Aside from debating, Mr. Lindsey's
chief interest is in Worker's Educational
work and be proved himself to be well
informed on this line as he made several
interesting talks to classes in Economies
and also one in Chapel.
Mr. Lindsey served three years in the
World War, after which he went to Ox
ford where he immediately became a
leader having been president of the Labor
Club and also of the Oxford Union
two of the most important, organizations
at Oxford.
His chief . interest lies in Economics
and Industry and while here he made
several interesting discussions of both
these topics from n broad and inclusive
point of view. Mr. Lindsey also touched
on the political situation of Kngland and
Europe as a whole. Along this line he
also proved to be well informed and he
made a very favorable impression by his
clear cut style and easy flowing humor.
Being somewhat of an idealist he ad
vanced a theory of International Ath
letics through which he believed that the
instinct of rivalry between nations could
be vented instead of war. Such original
ideas as this, some of which were more
practical, caused Mr. Lindsey to be re
garded as one of the most clever speak
ers which has appeared In chapel this
year. He certainly shows good promise
of a future leader in the Isles.
The elections of next year's officers
was held in the Di Society last Satur
day night. The whole time was taken
up in electing officers and winding up
the Society's business for the past year.
Immediately after the reading of the
minutes President J. M. Brown threw
the hall oieu for nominations for next
year's president. At once a half dozen
fellows leaped to their feet, each clam
oring for recognition. C. B. Yarley first
succeeded in getting the President's ack
nowledgement and. with a very ludicrous
it-rc:u. iiuuiuiaiet! t.urtoro' Peeler. Two
others were nominated. A. F. Raper and
E. H. H.irtsell, but Hansel! withdrew,
leaving the field to Raper and l'eeler,
me rormer winning uy a large majority.
hen the time for the election of
Vice-I'resideiit came there was even more
eagerness shown over the nominations,
and it was necessary for the President
to make three attempts before he was
able to make the announcement, and
even then it was necessary for him to
do so while two men were on their feet
shouting for recognition.
Those nominated were: W. J. Cocke,
.T. W. Deyton. White Linker, and C. L.
Justice. On the first vote Justice and
Linker were dropped, and Cocke was
elected on the second.
Taylor Bledsoe. A. L. Groce, George
Stevens. Jr., and I.inoberger, were nomi
nated for Secretary. Groce was elected
on the second vote.
The other offices were filled in short
order, and with fewer clashes of political
bosses than was apparent in the first
three elections. Bledsoe and Stevens
were elected first and second Censors
Morum respectively. C. L. Justice was
elected for Kecorder of the Constitution
Committee, and ('. 11. Jonas was elected
recorder of the Finance Committee with
out opposition. For Custodian of Docu
ments. L. M. Cudger was nominated,
withdrew, then accepted, and won over
Homer Coltrane. C. L. llaney was
elected first Corrector, and Liueberger
second.
Then, after hearing from various com
mittees, fining delinquent members, and
giving up nil interest in the Carolina
Magazine, the summary of the meeting
was read by the Secretary and the Di
Society was adjourned until the opening
of school next fall.
CROWD THESATYRS SPOT
The Annual Carnival Given by
the Dramatic Order of Satyrs
Is Huge Success.
ORIGINAL COSTUMES SEEN
Multi-robed sheiks, John Barleycorns,
Spanish maidens, the Gold Dust Twins
all laughed and danced together amid a
riot of color and costumes at the Satyr
Carnival Friday night in Byiuim gmy
nasiiun. The dancing lasted from nine
until one thirty, interspersed with sev
eral added attractions.
Unlike the previous carnivals, there
was no overabundance of vaudeville.
The dance, "A Vision of Salome," by
Mile Oisette Galli-Gazazzi called for re
peated encores.
At twelve thirty was held the gro
tesque but impressive figure of the Dra
matic Order of Satyrs. The "spotting"
of new members was effected in an un
usual way, accompanied by the guttural
shouts of the appropriately dressed
Satyrs. Those spotted and "consigned
to Hades" were: F. H. Hursey, Theo
dore Livingstone, J. Owen Woodside,
H. W. Boone, J. E. Hawkins, Carl Bare
foot, Kntheriue Batts (honorary) Eliza
beth Taylor (honorary), and from the
faculty, Paul John Weaver and Archi
bald Henderson.
Music for the dancing, figure, and ex
hibition dance was furnished by the
Carolina Club Orchestra, who played
better than ever, keeping up their repu
tation as the best of college orchestras.
The enjoyment was heightened by an
unexpected number of visiting girls. The
costumes were unusually original and
well-designed.

This Will Be the First Time That the
Famous Garbtr-Davis Orchestra
Has Been Heard Here.
FRATERNITY REGULATIONS
BY A UNANIMOUS VOTE
Ruling by Faculty is a Significant
Step Toward Raising Standard
of Fraternities on Campus.
SCHOLARSHIP STRESSED
Probably one of the most significant
rulings of the faculty was made last Fri
day when it passed unanimously the pe
tition in regard to fraternity regulations
as set forth and recommended in outline
form by the Pan Hellenic Council. This
ruling is significant because it promises
to revolutionize the policies of the social
organizations of the campus, in revolu
tionizing not to effect a complete change,
but make the policies of fraternities more
well balanced.
In brief, the ruling states that a
freshman becomes eligible to join a fra
ternity at the beginning of the spring
quarter, provided, he has passed on as
many as five whole courses in the Uni
versity and has made at least two threes
on two of these five courses. Special
and professional students become eligible
under the same conditions as academic
students. A student with advanced stand:
ing from another approved college or
University becomes eligible after his reg
istration for the second quarter, provided,
he has on record a credit of seven whole
courses, on two of which he must have
made a grade of three (or C) or better.
Any student may be pledged after he has
registered for the second quarter. The
regulations follow :
General Regulations
Students may join fraternities after
registration at the opening of any regu
lar quarter or term if eligible under the
(Continued on Page Four)
NEW CREDITS GIVEN
The faculty of the College of Liberal
Arts recently voted to grant credit for
beginning German (German 1-2), toward
the A. B. degree, upon the same basis
as credit for Greek 1-2 has been allow
ed since the beginning of the winter
quarter of this year. To count as de
gree credits and to absolve a part of the
language requirement, German 1-2 must
he followed by three other courses in
the language. This takes effect with the
summer quarter of 1!23.
Garber-Davis will be here for the
Commencement Ball this year. This or
chestra has never been in Chapel Hill
before, but there are few if any Caro
lina hoys who do no tknow what kind
of music Jan Garner and his music club
puts out. For the past half dozen years
this orchestra has held the undisputed
leadership among the dance orchestras
of the south. It has also had a tre
mendous success in the North.
For a long time it has been the de
sire of the student body to have Jan and
his original jazz hounds on the hill but
somehow there has always been a slip
and the popular orchestra has always
gone elsewhere.
The gymnasium is to be decorated in
the Carolina Victory Colors. Again the
most expert decora ters in the section will
visit Chapel Hill to make a lovely ball
room where Dr. Lawson trains his
charges. The blue and white of Caro
lina will be used to dress it up.
Six dances will le given on June 14
and 1."). A. M. ".Monk" MacDonald,
Chief Ball Malinger, with Miss Eugenia
Ooodall will lead the Commencement
Ball. Assisting Ball Managers are:
James Thomas Barnes with Miss .Mil
dred Barnes; Alan Marshal MeGee with
Miss Mary Giles Bellamy ; Thomas Tur
ner, Jr., with Miss Elizabeth Nolan:
Silas Martin Whedbee with Miss Frances
Whedbee ; James Thomas Little with
Miss Martha Best: and Howard Ilolder
ness with Miss Margaret Huske.
The Commencement Marshals are from
the rising senior class. They are: Thom
as Alexander Burns, George Young Bags
dale. John Vernon Ambler. William
Fletcher Somers. Henry Abel Liueberger,
Zachariah Thomas Fortesque, and James
Edwin Woodard., chief.
These dances will all be given under
the auspices of the German Club. They
will be given for the studeuts of the
University and the alumni. For the first
time this year the freshmen will be al
lowed to put aside their freshness and
enter without gainsay the world of grand
sophistication. German Club members
are asked to pay all dues immediately
so that the club can have some funds

ANNOUNCEMENT
The Student Publications Board
announces that the position of Busi
ness Manager of the Tar Heel is
still open to all students, irrespec
tive of class affiliations. Applica
tions for the office on a salary and
commission hasis will be received by
any member of the hoard until mid
night, Thursday. Only one applica
tion has yet been received.
PRESIDENT APPOINTS THE
TWO FACULTY MEMBERS
Professors Hibhard and Matherly Are
the Men Appointed to Serve on
Publications Board.
The preliminaries for the Commence
ment debate, which is an annual contest
between the two literary societies during
Commencement Week, were held last
Friday night. The question for debate
this time is. Resolved. "That France was
justified in invading the Ruhr." The
Di has the affirmative while the Phi will
advance the negative of the query.
In the contest in the Di Society C. A.
Peeler and W. F. Somers won out, while
C. E. Spencer and T. T. Fortescue, Jr.,
were chosen to represent the Phi As
sembly. These men will meet in debate
in what is generally recognized as one
of the most important debates on the
Hill.. The occasion of the debate itself
indicates its importance. The time is
when all the old alumni members of the
two rival societies are out to bear their
respective team. The rivalry between the
two societies was once much greater and
made itself more manifest than at the
present, anil this rivalry still exists in
the spirits of the old members of these
organizations.
Not only is there an old sentiment
connected with this particular debate
that makes it such an honor to be select
ed, but there is a handsome medal of
fered to the best speaker of the debate
This is the Bingham medal, which has
been given annually for many years.
Last year the medal was won by Victor
V. Young, representative of the Phi
Assembly. It is one of the most: coveted
of all medals given in college.
Following President Chase's appoint
ment of faculty representatives on the
Student Publications Board, the first
meeting of that body was held Thursday
night and tentative methods of procedure
in handling the various periodicals were
decided upon. Prof. Walter J. Math
erly, of the School of Commerce, nnd a
member of the special committee which
thoroughly investigated the financial and
editorial organization of college publica
tions throughout the country, is perma
nent treasurer of the board. Prof. C.
A. Hibbard, formerly an instructor in
journalism here and now Associate Pro
fessor of English, will serve as secretary.
Both men received practical experience
in the field of collegiate publications dur
ing their undergraduate days, and are
well-fitted for membership on the board.
This recently organized body is hold
ing a series of conferences with business
managers of the Carolina Magazine and
Yaekety Yaek in an effort to estimate
the exact financial status of these publi
cations for 1923-24, and to agree upon
a satisfactory basis of compensation for
the managers. Bids are being received
from prospective business managers of
the Tar Heel, and it will probably be
several days before that position is filled.
Mai.iicrs vt the board believe that more
dignity and honor should be attached to
managerial duties on the student period
icals than has been evident in the past,
and the highest type of business man is
what they are after.
The business managers will be required
to keep systematic records of receipts
and expenditures, and thus eliminate the
possibility of inefficiency in matters of
finance. While economy will he prac
ticed in business administration, student
publications of the coming year will be
up to standard in printing and general
composition.

The University School of Public Wel
fare lias recently taken an active part
in a discussion of the American Associa
tion of Training Schools for Professional
Social Work. At the time of admittance
two years ago, Carolina was one of the
earliest Universities to be admitted to
membership in (he Association.
Some of the other large Universities
that are now members are: Bryn Mawr
College, University of Chicago, Johns
Hopkins University, University of Min
nesota. University of Missouri, Ohio
State University, University of Oregon.
University of Southern California, Uni
versity of Toronto.
Warning has been given that drastic
measures are to be taken to stop the
practice of giving bad checks and that
future olT.'iiders are to be punished fully
bv the town authorities.
Carolina's Blue Ridge delegation for
this year promises to be a record break
er. Sixty-seven men are already on the
list, in addition to several more who have
not: definitely decided, making in all at
least seventy-five. Chairman C. A. llols
houser says that there is still a scarcity
of athletes on the delegation, and urges
especially that men go who could rep
resent Carolina on the track, swimming,
tennis and baseball teams.
The conference is to begin about June
12th and will last nine or ten days.
The total cost for the trip will be about
$'), or perhaps even less, as the rail
road gives special rates, and several men
are planning to make the trip by auto
mobile, taking passengers at n low price.
The "V office or any member of the
Blue Ridge committee will be glad to give
any other information that prospective
delegates may wish.
Judge R. W. Winston and Prof. H.
II. Williams, armed, intrenched, and bat
tling with heavy artillery, presented such
a spectacle in debate at the Phi Assem
bly Smoker as has not beeu seen in many
a day. and probably never will lie seen
again. Experience and Conviction, under
the able generalship of the Judge, led
the assault to "the very citadel of all that
Prof. Horace Williams stands for in the
University. Logic nnd Syllogism re
sponded with a withering fire. It was a
holocaust of giants; a struggle of the
gods. The mere members of the As
sembly sat on the edges of their scats,
chewing and swallowing five-cent stogies.
It seemed as if the pictures on the walls
had stepped down for a season to strug
gle again, in their grim, majestic way.
The Smoker was the first the Phi has
held in several years; financial difficul
ties have prevented the holding of a
smoker in recent years. This year, how
ever, due to the heavy burden being lift
ed off the societies when the student body
passed the debute fee, the treasury
emerged several hundred dollars to the
good, and the Assembly decided to spend
a hundred or two on a good, round feed.
The first part of the evening was given
over to the election of officers for the
Fall quarter, 1923. The officers elected
were as follows : Speaker, Georgo Hamp
ton ; Speaker Pro-tem., Fred Parker ;
Sergenut-at-arms, Richard Thorpe; Read
ing Clerk, M. M. Young; Treasurer, J.
II. Price ; Assistant Treasurer, J. K.

began. A course in chicken salad, sand
sandwiches and punch was served, to the
great delight of everyone present. Dur
ing this, one of the old Phi members,
now Alumni Secretary, Dan Grant, made
a few appropriate remarks. Then with a
short introduction by Speaker Jernigan,
Judge Winston rose to speak. Everyone
expected a goodly store of jokes, but the

Dr. H. M. Dargan, of the English de

He leaves for New York early this sum

LEONARD TO DURHAM "Y"
Grady H. Leonard, who is receiving
his B. S. degree ill chemistry this June,
and who has been connected with the
University Y. M. C. A. for the past
three years, has been offered a position
as assistant secretary of the Durham

plans to j.iiu them about June l.'th.
Will "Mule" Shirley, star first, base
man on the University team for the last
two years, desert collegiate ball to enter
the ranks of professionalism? Just now
this question is causing much concern
on the campus due to reports eirculutin
among state papers that Shirley will re
port to the Raleigh club of the Pied
mont League on June 1".
The news blazed out last week whe'i
manager "Duke" Duncan, of Raleigh,
announced that Shirley would report at
the end of the college season and take
charge of the initial sack. The Raleigh
team has been in pretty bad straits late
ly and has only recently moved up to
fifth place following a long stay in the
cellar. Immediately after the announce
ment that the Carolina first sucker was
coming to join bis crew, Duncan put
former first baseman Alexander on the
bench with intent ions of discharging him,
and delegated scrub catcher Sessions to
cover first until Shirley rejmrts.
When aaproached by a Tar Heel re
porter, Friday, Shirley stated that he
had not as yet decided whether he will
or will not join the Raleigh team. He
is signed up with the Norfolk Club of
the Virginia League but has been given
permission by Manager Clarke to report
to Raleigh if he so desires. Duncan has
been working after Shirley persistently
for quite a while to come down to bolster
up and inject some spirit into his team.
Shirley has played three years of ball
at Carolina, his first year in the field
and the last two as first baseman. Be
sides his remarkable record as a baseball
player he has been prominent in campus
life and has also been picked by many as
the probable successor to Roy Morris as
captain of next year's team.
