The Tar Heel solicits adver tising from reputable concerns only. "uesday, February 3, 1926 The campus and dormitories have been thoroughly placarded with the mad dog ordinance. Town authori ties evidently think the University students put on too much dog when they stroll out. Now that spring is almost here, can the visiting girls be far behind? Because the Tar Heel reprints Mr. Mencken's praise of the Uni versity, it is assailed by several of its ' Southern : contemporaries. One says we think too well of ourselves; another that we are not at all over-shy.- is it a case of seeing ourselves as others see us, or of being the ob ject of bitter pangs of jealousy? i Of Carolina's three all-Southern basketeers, Cobb will make his-last appearance on the . floor tonight. Devin is on the sick list and will not appear and Dodderer, although eligi ble, ; will hardly return next year. All three are great players and have contributed much to Carolina's ath letic glory. ! ENCOURAGING I4st week the Reverend Mr. Pen-tuff,- Concord minister, appeared in Fuquay Springs, a small village in southern Wake County, and com pletely swayed his audience. Now Mr. 'Pentuff is a great advocate of legislation in North Carolina to for bid the teaching of evolution because it contradicts the Biblical version of the creation of man. Mr. . Pentuff apparently thinks that truth and the Bible are such weaklings that they stand in need of legislative assist ance to remain on their feet. Mr. Pentuff isn't very complimentary to his religion. The good Fuquay folks adopted a resolution favoring an anti-evolution law 'and pledging their support to those candidates for the legislature who are also in favor of such a law. All of this indicates that the evolu tion fight, which entails more than evolution, is breaking out again. . The Southern Wake incident shows tSiat the real fight is going to take place in the villages and rural sections of the state. There is where the rock-bottom conservatism is to be found. - The people back home are the ones that send the legislators to Raleigh, and the legislators in Ra leigh express the will of their con stituents. University students have been fol lowing the stand taken by the state papers with a great deal of interest. But their attention is practically con fined to the dailies of Greensboro, Raleigh, Asheville, Durham, Char lotte and Winston. In the weekly Hamlet Xeics-Mes-senger there recently appeared the following editorial praising Dr. Chase and pleading for tolerance: "If ever there was a state and a time that cried aloud for broad- minded and courageous leadership it is North Carolina now. "There are today two great oppos ing forces of narrowness and egotism each proclaiming its own righteous ness and hurling defiance at the other. On the one hand is the reli gious bigot who insists upon his own interpretation of the Bible, his own conception of God and God's way with man, and who would damn to eternal torment anyone who disa grees with him. On the other hand is the narrow scientist, equally bigoted and conceited, who would destroy everyone's faith in God by attempting to deny the existence of God? These twoone saying "ac cept my own idea of my own God or be damned;" the other saying "there is neither God nor damnation," talk long and loud about the incom patibility of science and religion and soon get one so confused that he hardly knows where to turn for the truth. "Between them on the middle ground of liberal thought stand such men as Chase and Poteat. They show that science and religion, or Natural Law, and God, are recon cilable and reconciled. They are seeking truth whatever and wherever it may be. Right now is a most crucial time. There are those who want to go back to inquisition and witch burning methods. If ever leaders of ability and "courage were needed it is now. i: "Oregon and Ohio may offer Dr. Chase more money, but we doubt if any university right now cah offer'as wide field for usefulness or presents as urgent need for him as does the University of North Carolina." It is an encouraging omen that the weeklies of the state are advocating that the people follow a policy of liberalism. May this course become more and more widespread and bear fruits in the next legislature that will do credit to the people of the state. A great people must be tolerant. OLD CO-ED DORMITORY IS BEING REMODELED The old co-ed dormitory is being re modeled by the University, and it will soon be in a condition suitable for fur ther use. When the building, which has seen such strenuous days, is completed it Ul be rented to the highest bidder. Applications for its use have been re ceived from two fraternities. It has also been sought as a boarding house. No thing definite has been done, so the fate of the old dormitory is as yet uncertain. Calendar Today 4:00 P. M.

LOCAL BAPTISTS ATTEND ANNUAL STATE MEETING Approximately 25 University students were in attendance during the week-end when the Baptist students of North Carolina Colleges assembled in Greens boro as the guests of the North Caro lina College for Women in observance of "Youth Week". Students attended from State College, Wake Forest College, and the University of North Carolina. State sent 25, the University 25 and Wake Forest 50 dele gates. .-'." ; The program began Saturday night with a banquet in the hut of the Forest Avenue Baptist church where talks were made on the value and plan of the Bap tist's Student Union. This was followed by a reception at the plant of the Vick Chemical Company. Sunday was ob served as. "Youth Day" and a discussion was led by Rev. J. A- Ellis, Pastor of the Pullen Memorial Church, Raleigh. 1 1iis meeting was held in the First Bap tist Church. A local committee at the Baptist church had the local delegation in charge and sent full quota to the meeting. INFIRMARY HAS RECORD WEEK SINCE WORLD WAR Last week was a record week since the World War for the number of stu dents in the University Infirmary, ac cording to Dr. Abernathy. The number of intrants from Sunday, February 14 thru Saturday, February 20, was 47. This does not include the large number who came to the infirmary but were not sick enough to be put to bed. ; The chief cause in all cases was a slight attack of "flu". Dr. Abernathy states that there has been a slight flare up of "flu" of a very mild type, that usually lasts about two days, and may or may not be accompanied by fever. The only case other than such, and bad colds, was of Robert Boggs, a fresh ma n from Cawtaba, who was rushed to Durham Saturday night for an opera tion of appendicitis. . He is now get ting on splendidly. Of the' 47 who were confined in the infirmary this past week, were three of the basketball team: Billy v Devin, Bob Sides, and "Pinky" Morris, in addition to Emmett Underwood of the "Y" team. All of these are now out, however, and should be in condition to make the trip to. the S. I. C. Tournament at Atlanta. Swartz And Miller Address Geologists Two reviews of Interesting geological papers of much scientific interest were heard at the regular meeting of Geology Club last Thursday afternoon. . Dr. J. H. Swart gave as the major paper a review of W. G. Whitman's-theory of "Elimination of Salt from Sea Water," and an account of the experiments con ducted by Whitmnn to prove his theory. The minor paper .. was presented by C. Miller, who reviewed an article by E. P. Rothrock on the "Force of Crystaliaa tion of Calcite." The paper reviewed by Dr. SwarU was an attempt by Whitman to explain interesting facts suggested. to him by Dr. Stephenson, the Artie explorer, who noted them in obtaining dringing water from Arctic ices. Dr. Swartz summa rized these facts briefly as follows; (1) that sea water Ice recently frosen con tains as much ice as the original ocean water, (2) that ice after standing one cold winter contains less salt but' too much for drinking, (3) that ice that has stood one warm season contains less salt but is still brackish, (4) that after standing several seasons the ice contains li.s salt than ordinary river water. This led Whitman to assert his theory that was reviewed by Dr. SwarU and which purposes to show that elimination is due to the movements of brime in the ice. These bubbles move from cold to warmer portions of the ice because of the differences in temperature existing at the top and bottom of the brine bub bles, the ice melting at the point where the temperature Is greatest and freezing at the point where it is least, according to the chemistry pha.se rule. By the means of two experiments Whitman was able to prove that his theory is correct and that in all cases there is a movement of salt concentra tion from the cold to the warmer por tions of the Ice. Dr. Swarts explained that at the end of S5 hours Whitman was able to remove as much as 33 of the brine originally caught in the ice. In presenting a review of Rothrock's papers and a rtsumt of the evidence pre sented therein to show the forces that growing crystals exert, Mr. Miller said that the University geology department believes the field evidence gathered by Rothrock can be supported by laboratory experiments and that a series along this line are now being planned. The evidence found by Rothrack is his study of the Nussbam formation in Cimarrion county, . Okla., substantiates the experiments of Beckel and Day and shows the pressure exerted by crystal ization to be tremendous. The standstone of the Nussbam formation is really a candy limestone varying In sand content from 10 at the top to almost pure sandstone at the bottom. It is appar ent that the calcite in crystalling has been the cause of this difference in sand content. Microscopic examinations of the limestone at the top of the formation show that calcite has penetrated into cracks in the quartz sand grains and has split them apart. The tensil strength of quartz being known, the force that the calcite must have exerted is of a magni tude ranging from 18,000 to 23,000 lbs. to the square inch. Mr. Miller declared that Roth rock offered conclusive evi dence that the calcite is responsible for this and not diastrophic movements. At the next regular meeting of the Geology Club which will be held next Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock in No. 1, New East the major paper will be presented by Dr. Prouty and a minor paper by Mr. Seiwell. TRIANGLE DEBATE WILL BE HELD ON THURSDAY Carolina-Johns Hopkins-Washington & Lee Engage in Annual Affair ' Johns Hopkins Comes Here The Carolina-Johns Hopkins-Washing ton and Lee triangle debate will take place on Thursday night, February 25, This debate is an annual affair and the negative team regularly debates there, The query for discussion is Resolved, That the United. States should recognize the Russian Soviet Government. The af firmative will be upheld for Carolina at Gerrard Hall Thursday night by M. M Young and O. B. Eaton, Jr., while M. H, Mogulescu and T. B. Livingston will fight for Carolina at Lexington on Fri day night. W. and L. negative will debate Johns Hopkins affirmative in Bal timore to complete the triangle. This is the fourteenth year of the Johns Hopkins-Carolina contests, during which time Carolina has won the decision ten times. Washington and Lee entered the triangle in 1920, taking the place of the University of Virginia which had been in it until that date. Of the eight debates with Washington and Lee Caro lina has won only three. Since the trian gle began in 1913 Carolina has won fif teen decisions and was defeated only nine times by Hopkins, Virginia, and Washington and Lee combined. In this connection it might be stated that only one year went by without this triangle being held since the beginning, this being due to the war in 1917. Last year T. B. Livingston and E. L. Justus defeated Johns Hopkins in Balti more while A. K. King and M. M. Young defeated W. & L. in Gerrard Hall for the first victory for Carolina since 1920. In addition to the debate with Wash ington and Lee at Lexington- on Friday night, Mogulescu and Livingston will de bate William and Mary at Williamsburg on Saturday night. The feature of the debates is the two youthful sophomores wiio will appear for Carolina in these debates. Eaton of the affirmative and Mogulescu, of the nega tive, both of the A.B. School, are the two that are making their first appear ance, and Tar Heel supporters are anx iously awaiting their success. : . Young and Livingston are old timers at the post and their experience alone should bring victories to Carolina, this being Young's eleventh and Livingston's eighth debate. The debate comes at an opportune time and It is hoped that the students will support the team and be on hand in large numbers. It will begin promptly at 8:30 in Gerrard Hall Thursday night. Miss Maxine Fearing, of N. C. C. W., visited Miss Ellen Melick during the week-end. Alpha Chi Fraternity announces the initiation of John O. Allison, Charlotte, N. C, and the pledging of D. M. Mc- tosh, Old Fort, N. C. Ivan S. Clark and Clarence E. Miller of the Geology department left Sunday morning for Washington, D. C, where they wiJl attend the "National Associa tion of Educators" who are convening there this week. DURHAM HIGHS BEAT LOCAL BOYS 54 TO 12 Victor Headed for Another State , Championship Girls Win From . Greensboro by Score 51-25. ' Friday night the Durham high school basketball team defeated the local quint in Durham to the tune of 54-12. , This game, the second for the locals in the high school championship, is a defi nite sign that the Tobacco City lads are heading for another hard fight to repeat their performance of last year as State Champions. The Durham center, "Mud guard" Adkins, was high scorer for the winners; the lanky center threw a third more points than the total for the local tossers, he being credited with 19 points. The right forward for Durham, Stuart Chandler threw the same number . of counters as the entire Chapel Hill quint. Bynum, Chapel Hill center; did the best work for the locals, counting for four of their twelve points. The score at the end of the first quarter was 12-3. The second period, the most interesting of the contest for the spectators, ended with the count standing 18-8. The line-up and summary: Chapel Hill (12) Durham (54) Position Schmidt (2) . R. F. . Chandler fl2) Pendergraft (2 L. F. Sherit (11) Bynum (4) C. Adkins (19) Wright (4). R. G. -Edwards Weaver L. G. Warren Subs: Chapel Hill Merritt for Wea ver; Fowler for Merritt. Durham- White for Warren. Referee Parker (State.) In a game between the Chapel Hill high girls and those of Greensboro in Greensboro Saturday night, the local girls won by the score of 61 to 25. ." (1) ELEVEN CAROLINA MEN NOW AT SCHNECTADY At a meeting held In the Edison club the evening of January 8, alumni of the various colleges and universities repre sented In the Schenectady works of the General Electric Company determined to repeat the International Intercollegiate Smoker program broadcast last year from WGY. A very enthusiastic reception was ac corded the first program which was broadcast last year by the Edison club and more replies were received by the WGY station regarding this entertain ment ', than about any other program. Letters received recently requesting that the smoker be broadcast again this year led to the meeting of the alumni men tioned above. These men unanimously voted to repeat the stunt. . Following are the names of the men of the University of North Carolina who are now employed in the General Elec tric Company at Schenectady, who will participate in the program of the sec ond annual International Intercollegiate Smoker which is to be held at the Edison club hall and broadcast through station WGY, on the evening of February 27 and March 6: J, R. Alexander, F. M. Spaugh, Otto Giersch, Tom Jacocks. II. A. Davis, P, M. Gray, L. B. London, R. H. Jackson, Frank Waldhurst, J. II. Purser, Jr., and T. J. McManls. DIVULGE NAMES OF CANDIDATES Scantlebury, Eaton, Crisp O'Reily, and Duval Being Considered. OTHERS ARE ELIMINATED Selection of Coach Will Probably Take Place This Week. While alumni' of the University put In the state express their fear that the de lay in 'choosing the successor to Couch Bill Fetzer may be fatal to the gridiron chances of the Tar Heels' 1926 football team, the coaching committee goes on its way undisturbed by the rumors of dis satisfaction and is quietly eliminating man after man from the lists. It Was learned through the office of Graduate Manager Charles T. Woollen Saturday that the lists of men being considered had been narrowed down to five men and that a decision miirht he pynu 11 "'.-IAU within the next few days. For ; the first time since the coaching situation has been before the nubl If PVA -J v. the committee has made public the of the list of candidates. The quintet of mentors who arc after the job now are Wilbur E. Scantlebury, freshman coaeh at the University of Iowa last year; V. E. Eaton, right end on the famous na tional championship eleven at Notre Dame in 1921 and at present freshmnn football and basketball coach at the Hoosier institution; H. G. Crisp, assist ant coach at the University of Alabama for the past five years; John D. O'Reilly, assistant grid coach at Georgetown Uni versity; and E. P. Duval, polo coach of the Charlotte Country Club. Scantlebury played fullback on the LTniversity of Iowa football team for two seasons, filling in at quarterback when he was needed, and he was given hon orable mention by Walter Camp on his All-Anierican squad of 1924. He also played shortstop on the Hawkeye base ball team for three years, captaining the team in his senior year. ' His record in both of these sports is good, and it is be lieved he would make a fine man for the place. Harry Crisp, assistant coach at the University of Alabama, has had a hand in coaching the Crimson Tide teams in all lines of sport. He is head coach in basketball and track, and assistant in football and baseball. The success of the Alabama outfits in all lines of sport during the' past few years has been in some manner due to the work of Crisp, who has been the closest ally of Wade, head coach there. Eaton and O'Reilly are both good men, but do not take part in as many sports as does Crisp, and the fifth man E. P. Duval, polo coach at Charlotte, got his training in the grid game at St. John's College, of Baltimore, Md. Of course it is not a certain fact that the final pick will be made from these men, but It is extremely likely. The committee has put off the decision about as long as is possible if the new mentor is to get any hand in the development of a system for the football squad here next fall. Of course Chuck Collins Is here help ing Coach Bob Fetzer with the winter practice, but it will put a new man un der too great a handicap to ask him to come in the fall and take charge of the team to drill a new system into them in the comparatively short time before the opening game. R. E. Price, University alumnus, who married Miss Lily Whitaker, of Carr boro, has established a new paper in Rutherfordton. It is called the Ruther ford County JVeww. The first issue, which appeared last week, contains 12 pages, well printed and with a liberal propor tion of advertising.
