C, SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1926 NUMBER 72 Fourteenth Annual Track Meet Won By Charlotte ISON IS STAR Six State High Records Smash ed by Young Athletes. BREWER HIGH POINT WINNER Ideal Weather Makes Yesterday's Meet Most Sucessful Ever Held Here for High Schools. Charlotte, High School won the four teenth annual High School track meet of North Carolina for the fourth time yesterday afternoon on Emerson Field.

Four state records were broken by Char lotte and two hy Winston-Salem. High point honors go to Brewster of Winston Salem with first place in the javelin throw, second place) in the shot put, and a tie for second and third place in the high jump. Ison of Charlotte, who took first place in the century and 220 was runner-up with ten points. Brown of Greensboro trailed with seven points. Despite the fact that every high' school track meet since 1913 has been accom panied by rain, the afternoon was ideal for the event. There was no wind to slow down runners of rain to muddy up the track. The fact that five state re cords were broken emphasizes the pres ence of ideal track weather. Probably the most spectacular per former of the afternoon was Ison of . Charlotte. In the preliminary heats in the dashes he simply walked away from the rest of the field. He had no trouble at all in galloping in ahead to capture first place in the hundred and 220 yard dash. In both events he lowered the state records. The old record for the century was 10 3-5 seconds and was held jointly by Suit of Chapel Hill, Koening of Greensboro, Tucker of Laurinburg, and Smith of Chapel Hill. Houchens of Winston-Salem established the old record in 1925. Two other state records were, broken by Charlotte boys, Millstead clipping 1-5 of a second off the old state record es tablished by packer of High Point in 1925 and Fort jumped a distance of 20 feet and 10 inches to break the record established" by Weston of Washington in 1924.

The long fasting period which has been observed In local social circles with re gard to the Terpischorean art since the suspension of dances after Thanks giving, was broken at the Carolin Inn Friday evening when the local chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi, commerce fraterni ty entertained with a delightful dance. The event came as a fitting culmination to the dreary season of abstinence, for it was characterized by gaity and rejoic ing. The festive occasion was graced by a bevy of the most beautiful and charming young ladies from all corners of the State. Demure high school dam sels from among the high school week visitors, and representatives from many of the girl's schools hereabouts vied with one another for the favors of feminine charm. The jSigma Nu week-end house party was responsible In a large measure for the choice variety of female talent present on the Hill. The music was ably furnished by the comparatively new Tarsonian orchestra and it proved itself a thoroughly competent organization. The music, the girls, and last but not least, the enthusiastic spirit of the dancers, sharpened considerably by the recent in activity, on campus dance floors, all con tributed to make the ocasion an enjoy able one and the Alpha Kappa Psi's are to be congratulated on the entertain ment. . The Alpha Kappa Psi Fraternity, one of the largest and most Influential na tional commerce fraternities, was found ed at New York University in 1904. It has at present 45 active chapters in some of the country's best schols. The Alpha Tau chapter, here at the University, was installed February 18, 1925 and although it is comparatively new here, the Fra (Continued on pag four) ' The Office of the Dean of the School of Liberal Arts has just released the Dean's List for the spring quarter.

Will Be Met on Trip Next Week. TEAMS EVENLY MATCHED Carolina Has Edge in Track Events- Virginia Strong in Field Events. NEW OFFICERS CHOSEN Dr. Bernard Reviews History of Uni versity Dances. The -German Club, in its meeting on Thursday afternoon, adopted by a unan imous vote the by-laws and resolutions concerning dances on the Hill, as pub lished in the Tar Hebl Thursday morn ing. These by-laws were drawn up by the German officers in conjunction with the faculty committee on dances. The present regulations are a combination of the old set of rules in force last year and the new by-laws. Dr. W. S. Bernard, chairman of the faculty committee on dancing, Was pres ent at the meeting and be explained the clauses in the rules and attempted to justify the position taken by the com mittee in each case. He praised the present regulations as "a masterful piece of work and expressed the hope and belief that it will work successfully. "No paper, organization, or constitution," he said, "is above .the personnel behind it." Charlie Gold, president of the club, stated that the present rules are superior to the old set in that "the individual pays for what the individual does, and the majority does not have to suffer for the misdeeds of the minority." The Ger man Club executive committee bears the brunt of the responsibility of the en forcement of the rules and in this ca pacity acts independent of the Student Council. President Gold urged the mem bers of the club to do all in (heir power to help put the plan across and called especial attention to the dances being held this week-end. The election of officers for the next year was held at this meeting. Jim Shannonhouse was unanimously elected president. John Finley, nominuted for vice-president, and Baron Holmes nom inated for assistant secretary and treas urer, were both elected without a dis senting vote. The club was reminded that all mem bers not paying dues before April 26 will be subject to a fine of $5.00. After May 12, however, all who have not paid their dues will not be admitted to the final dances. Freshmen will now be eli gible to join- the German Club and all wishing to do so should send $ 15 to Winslow Mclver at the Sigma Chi house before May 15. Dr. Bernard, in speaking before the meeting, reviewed the history of the regulations on dances. Three years ago the misconduct and disorder at the Uni versity dances brought forth much criti cism from the state at large -and the President received many indignant let ters concerning the matter. Immediate action had to be taken and a meeting of the administrative committee was called by the President. Although some we're in favor of the complete abolish ment of the dances, it was decided to leave the matter up to the students them selves and the German Club was asked to appoint a special committee to meet with the faculty committee. After sev eral meetings, the set of rules which has been in use for the past few years was worked out. During the following year the plan was particularly successful and the commitee was congratulated on what was thought to be a perfect set -of rules; however, last year there was a let-down in the high standard of behavior at the dances and criticism again arose which finally resulted in the suspension of the (Continued 6n fag four) Seeking further laurels, Coach Bob Fetzer's cindermen will journey to Char lottesville next Thursday where they will meet the University of Virginia track team in one of the most grueling con tests that will be held this year. On this same trip, the V. P. I. track team will be met at Blacksburg on Saturday. The meet with Virginia promises to be one of the hardest fought events on the Tar Heel schedule. - The Cavaliers have lined up a very formidable array of track stars and have proven hurd opposcrs for every team which they have met this season. For the 100-yard dash, the Cavaliers will be represented by Cummings and Schumaker. In a meet held with Navy some few days ago, Cummings covered the hundred yards in 9 2-5 seconds, and made the 220 in 21 3-5 seconds. Caro lina will be represented in the 100-yard affair by a pair to be picked from Wood ard, Giersch and Teague. , : The runners for the 220 event will probably be the same as those for the 100 yard spurt. ,' In the 410 yard race, Erwlng, lust year Cavalier captain, is the strongest con tender. Erwing covers the 410 markers in 50 seconds flat. Raney follows a close second for the Virginiuns with a time of 51 3-5 seconds. In this event Caro lina will probably be represented by Edwards, Watt, McDanielsi or Wyrick. Virginia's entrances for the 880 yard run will probably include Leawell, a sophomore who crossed the line second in the Virginia-Navy meet, and who won the half mile run in 2 2-5 minutes. Caro lina will be represented by Captain Jonas, Rhinehart, Evans, and Henley. Captain Jonas should be able to handle that section of the meet in fine style, owing to the very good work which he exhibited last year, and which he is con tinuing this year. In .the mile run Leawell will compete wood, and Russ, while in the two mile spurt Captain Risher is the strongest against Galen Elliott, Pritchard, Under contendcr for the Virginians. Risher ran a close second in the Virginia-Nuvy (Continued on page four) SMITH ELECTED SENIOR PRESIDENT Zack Williams Triumphs Over Fuller Brown for Sec.-Treas.

Contests CONTROVESY AT POLLS Final Count Was Smith 98 and Kyscr Ninety-Three The polls for the final rising Senior class elections were opened this morning at 9:00 o'clock and the race run off between Kike Kyser and Red Smith for president and Fuller Brown ugainst Zack Williams, for secretary-treasurer. Red Smith triumphed by a close mar gin of 5 votes getting the final count 98 votes for president while Kike Kyser followed with 93 ballots. For secretary- treasurer, Zack Williams led with 108 votes and Fuller Brown 79. At the first ballot came in Smith's favor for president but toward the end of the elections the majority of votes were cast, for Kyser. , By far the most heated controversy of the election was over the ruling that the polls would be closed at 4 o'clock. At the very moment before the bell rang some of Kyser's cohorts dashed around the corner in a "Carolina Cadilac" chauf fered by Kike himself. Two voters jump ed out to cast their ballots just as the 4 o'clock bell rang. Red's cohorts im mediately affirmed that it was illegal to vote after the bell rung.

No, it wasn't to cheer, it was to stare. On the head of each cheer leader, sitting at a rather cockey angle, there was a brand new, made to order, white hat, and the boys looked so good under their new lids that no one but their favorite Co-Eds recog nized them.
