R. Rankin, secretary of the University high school debate union committee. Many more schools are expected to enter before the first round of the -debates is held during March, and the most successful year of the state wide contests is predicted by the sec retary. The annual extension circular an noying the query and eligibility rulir for the contests has baen is sued, while the debating bulletin, containing a brief and articles pro and con on the state-wide query, will be issued probably during the course of a week's time. The query this year will be solved: That the inter-allied debts should be cancelled." Any secondary and any school in the state is eligible "Re war high for membership in the debating union. As has been customary in the past, the schools will all be grouped in tri- -angles of three, a school having to win both affirmative and negative ! sides of the query of the debates held j in March, in order to win the right j to come to Chapel Hill during April; and compete here in the final elimi-j nntinn rnntPstQ fnr tho A vir.nlr r,,r 'The usual eligibility rules, barring graduates from participating, stating that all debaters must be bona-fide students, that they must have bean in regular attendance for at least .'C percent of the school year and that they must have made passing grades on a majority of their studies,, are included in the eligibility rules Durham hirh ScW1 W-h...hi'P "'?' :...VX ;.SJbnrev "onTy school so far to win permanent j possession of the Cup, when in 1922 j it won the Aycock Cup for the sec-, ond successive time and for the thud j time in a period of four years.

The terrible beast that has for a long time held complete sway on the cam pus did not lay down peacefully with the wool wearers but fighting a game battle was forced into his corner. The worm turned but he did not turn quite far enough. After being clearly vic torious and complete master of the situation "Tammany" met its match, and a meeting of the German Club again showed life. Ye powerful as sembly of plotters was nearly even ly divided and the fight was won only by a narrow margin. After having carried both the ju nior and senior dance leader elections the wolf felt sure of its victory In the always peaceful German Club, .but Thursday's election proved that no one political faction can rule the -University campus. It took three different counts for everyone to be satisfied that Bretney Smith will lead the Spring German. His opponent William Holderness was two votes ahead on the first count but stragglers appearing just as the count was over immediately brought Sanford Brown, a promising young Buncombe County attorney to his feet demanding a revote. President Tommie Sheppard thought a revote the best policy to keep the peace but "Fats" Stevens, Willie's . staunch co hort, thought a bird in the hand worth two in the bush and the lamen tation was on. Stevens' argument was purely on parlimentary proced ure, and his logic was that the early birds should elect the worthy worm, Taxes and Tobacco Feature Magazine TVld Tnv.,, ! -J! ,, .. L oi me jortn one merce department, carries two articles which are very important in that they deal with the progress of the state in two particular lines tax re vision and tobacco production. Mr. Matherly, the editor, discusses corporate taxes in .an article entitled, "State Provides Sound System of Corporate Taxes." Under the heading, "North Caro lina Ranks First in Tobacco Indus tries," Mr. W. T. Ritter gives some valuable information on this great industry. The fact that the state produces more tobacco than any oth er state is the chief reason why North Carolina leads in the value of all man ufactured products and ranks fourth among all the states in the value of agricultural products. "The tobacco industry occupies a straight position in North Carolina because it involves both agriculture and manufacturing. The tobacco fac tories in the state consume 60 per cent of the state's tobacco crop. Farm ers find at their very doors a cash market for the product of their farms." "Cigarettes are well in the lead as the chief tobacco crop for the state. The daily output of this prod uct is enormous and is much in ex- i cess of 100,000,000. Chewing or plug lODaceo and various smoking brands are as great in volume. There is stU a quantity of snuff made, and sev eral cities have made splendid prog ress m the manufacture of cigars." INFIRMARY NEWS " mrmary nas recenuy Daen entirely renovated and new additions have been made. There are now forty-two beds, eighteen new ones hav ing been added. Each ward has four beds and a bath and the walls are finished in French grey color which is very restful to the eyes.

Members of the Old Ring The old ring whose power is ap parently broken has been in existence for the past two years according to campus sages and has carried by far the majority of the social honors. Ru mor lines up the following fraterni ties with the once powerful and thor oughly organized group: D. K. E. K. A., Sigma Nu, Zeta Psi, Phi Delta Theta, S. A. E., and otners wno gen erally added their support to the reigning powers. Self preservation is the first law of nature and the old order cannot always exist. Senior Dances Leaders George Ragsdale was elected Chief Ball Manager for Commencement dances. Assistants elected were: Henry Lineberger, Jack Allsbrook John T. Gregory, Merle Bonner, Gene Hardin, and Tom Woodard. These men are all capable and will attempt to make the Finals better t.an eu before. Juniors Elect At a recent meeting of the Junio Class which has been termed the most complete political fiasco of the s-hoo year the following men were elected for Commencement Marshalls: Chief Marshall, Herman Mclver, Assistant Marshalls, Cornelius Vanstory, .Tom Cheesborough, Marion Davis, Borden Hooks, Allan Stainback, Hill Yar borough, Spencer Murphey, and Wal ter Allen.

She spoke of her m-os- pective trip to Europe before she played the "Marsailles" on the steps of the Hall. One of the great violins of the world is the instrument that Miss Knox plays.

This startling statement was gken out by one of the Yackety Yack man agers. I This year, with the Yackety Yack having a circulation of the entire stu dent body, those connected with the publication wish to have all (he dif lerent organizations and activities represented in the Yackety Yack. The managers of the annual have pre vailed upon the photographer to stay over for about three days of the com ing week in order to get all the pic tures in the book. The following hours have been set aside especially for group pictures: chapel period and from 2 to 4 P. M. during he week days; also from 10 to 1 and t'ron 2 lo I on Sunday. The heads of the different organizations are ur;,red to make appointments at the Yackety Yack table in front of the Post Office or during dinner hours with the bus iness managers at the Yackety Yack odice in New West building. In front of the Post Office there is a bulletin board which gives the time and date of all the group pic tures htat have been scheduled for this week. Y Cabinet Endorses Convention Changes The "Y" Cabinet went on record Monday night as unanimously en dorsing the two proposals of t-ie Constitutional Convention of the Y. M. C. A., which met in Cleveland a short while ago. In doing this the Cabinet endorsed the new constitu tion drawn up by the Constitutional Convention. This does away with all the dead parts of the constitution jn Jer which the "Y" has been operat ;ng since its organization seventy five years ago. This constitution brings the gov 3rnment of the "Y" right up to date, it preserves the independence and freedom of initiative of local associa tions and maintains the integrity of state organizations while at the same iime it provides for effective ui.ity on a national dusis, a renins has been needed for some time past. nother important step is that of the eorganization of the National Coun il in such a way that the Associations lave an adequate voice in the service .vork of the Council.

Hartsell's play. which goes by the mysterious name of Ye Gods" won the unanimous vote of the judges, and will be produced by Wigue and Masque sometime this quarter, possibly late in February. The music for the farce is being writ ten locally and the organization anti cipates another smashing hit, worthy of the very successful production of "The Kalif of Kavak" of last year. The comedy roles will be taken by students of the University, try outs for which will take place at a later :late which will be announced through 'hese columns. All the parts, both male and femals will be taken byl men. It will be remembered that last year in "The Kalif of Kavak" Caro lina men were said to make beauti ful girls. "Ye Gods" offers oppor tunities of great range for both male and femals characters. A trip will be taken by the organization imme diately after the local performance. UNIVERSITY MAY HAVE WHITE WAY IN FUTURE It seems as if the University is going to have a white way some time in the near future. Down in the quadrangle there are five sample posts submitted by the Western Elec tric and the General Electric Com panies. These posts have been hook ed up and have been tried out for the last few nights. They all have the same general shape, resembling the old style of lamp posts that used to be on the street corners and lit each night by the town watchman. These were put up on their temporary bases for the purpose of showing them to the University authorities to help them decide upon the one that they wanted. They were examined last Satur day, but none were decided on and more will be sent before a final de cision will be made. However, it is almost certain that they will be up and in working order before the year is finished. As far as is now known there will be about sixty posts in all. They will be put on two circuits, one to burn all night and the other to burr only part of the night. Just now it cannot be said which one will be pick- ad or when the actual work of erec tion will begin, but it will be some time soon.
