C. vs. MARYLAND College Park, Maryland SATURDAY VOLUME XXXV CHAPEL II DLL, N. C THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1926 NUMBER 14 SI REFUSES TO CENSURE ACTION OF THE COUNCIL Uill Denouncing Recent Methods of Student Council, Defeat V ed by Vote of 23-17. TIOLENT ARGUMENTS USED In a session that was marked ynih much stormy argumenta tion, the Di Senate refused to :pass, by a vote of 23 to 17, a special bill denouncing the action of the student council in sus pending R. K. Fowler and Julian Starr." .4.::"'''.:, After the first formalities of -the meeting were over, Senator Julian Busby, of Salisbury, pres ented a special resolution read ing: Resolved: that the Dialec tic Senate go on record as de nouncing the action of the Stu dent Council in suspending R. K. IFowler and Julian Starr. It was then moved and seconded thatthe customary order of business be 'dropped and that the special res olution take precedence before -the bills on the calendar. The Tnotion was passed, and the Sen ate passed on to the considera tion of the resolution. The proponents of the resolu tion on the floor of the Senate were Senators Kartus, Busby, "Mogulescu, and Fordham. The .action of the council was attack ed from several angles its as suming power over a matter be yond its jurisdiction, the ridicul ous attempt to assume the "role of literary critic, and the abuse of the" rights of the freedom of the press. Those speaking a 3rainst the resolution included Senators Motsinger and Kennett. Besides" attacking the points JUCUUVUCU JLTJT VUG yiVWIIVUWJ, they suggested that the prestige of the council would be hurt if their action was reversed. In 'turn, the pettiness of this point "was shown in that much more lhan the prestige of a group of political figureheads was, involv ed, since the personal reputa tion of two young men was being "branded throughout the state as Tjeing "obscene and indecent." The resolution, however, was de feated by a vote of 23 to 17? HIGH SCHOOLS ENROLL FOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP The high schools throughout the state are now enrolling for the thirteenth annual football championship, which will be held this fall under the auspices of the University Extension Divi sion. . The entry blanks must be sent in to Chapel Hill by October 23. . ' .' ; Schedules for ; the games of the Eastern and the Western series will . be arranged at con ferences of the faculty manag ers early next week. The rules concerning the eligibility of play ers representing the high schools are very strict and will be ad hered to carefully.- The length of quarters in all high school cames is to be limited to 12 min utes. A change in the rules of the series has been made concerning the case of a tie. If two teams play to a tie they shall draw to see which shall continue in the series. If the team winning the xlraw shall proceed through the series and shall win the State championship, the team losing the draw shall be entitled to challenge the winning team and play to decide the championship. However, if there is' a space of two weeks before the two tieing teams must meet their next op ponents, they shall play off the tie. REPORTER WRITES HISTORICAL REVIEW ABOUT PLAYMAKERS ON THEIR EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY "Drama Year Book" Places Local Thespian Group Among the First Four in the United States. By W.H. Windley In a survey of the dramatic organizations of different col leges and Universities sent out in 1914, we find that there were only twelve organized groups listed which presented regular programs. In a recent list pub lished in "The Drama .Year Book" we find a record of 122 organized dramatic groups.; The foremost four are the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Penn sylvania; Leland Stanford, Cal ifornia ; Professor Bakers work, Yale; and the Carolina Haymak ers, University of North Carolina... This clearly shows ;the signal success which the Carolina Play- makers have attained nationally as well at locally, and reflects due credit on the efficient work that was inaugurated at the Univer sity in 1918 by Professor Koch. At this time, the eighth anni versary of the Playmakers, a brief outline of its purpose, sub stance, and accomplishments would not be amiss. The stated aim of the Play makers is to advance dramatic art both in the University and in outside communities. To provide a means for experimental plays portraying the life, customs, and traditions of the people in ques tion. So far they have met with success in both fields; the stu dents, the University, and the State rendering invaluable as sistance and encouragement. . This group of players and playwrights are very fortunate in having an unusually rich field from which to draw their stories. There is hardly any other ter ritory in the United States that can afford the " folk-dramatist ".'

By Satellite The Order of the Grail at its regular semi-monthly meeting held last week voted unanimous ly to bear the financial strain placed upon Carolina's new Cheerio's by the purchase of small megaphones. The amount necessary to fully pay for the two hundred-fifty megaphones used last Saturday was given as positive of the respect that this order has for the "Cheerios". In addition, the " Grail members voted to give fifty dollars as their annual contribution to the Y. M. C. A. The above business transacted at the Grail meeting is merely an example of the splendid accom plishments that 'the . order has performed since it came into ex istence seven years ago. The Grail is an organization devoted to the perpetuation of Carolina's ideals, and its cheif purpose is to establish more harmony and a better - spirit of cooperation to wards the one aim the Carolina Ideal.' " TV :" " Gives Basketballs In 1920, the Grail first sprang into prominence, when it pur chased gold basketballs for the basketball team. The order put on several dances at different intervals of the year and they were greeted with enthusiasm on the part of the. students. Since then it has been the custom of the Grail to give these dances every year and definite plan was worked out that provided for three Grail dances a quarter making a total of nine a year. At one time the Grail handled the entertainments for visiting seams. V . The Order of the Grail has many awards and varied activi ties, most of which rarely reach the ears of the people at large.

ELGIN DEFEATS DALRYMPLE IN EXCITING MATCH Position of Players Varies Little on Account of Little Playing. ;" In the most interesting match that has been thus far played on the Varsity tennis courts this year, Captain "Dune" Elgin re tained his position at the head of the ladder by repelling Dalrym ple's threat Tuesday afternoon by the close margin of 6-4, 4-6, 7-5. The matches are being played very slowly, and as yet there have been few changes in position. . . The team this fall has been greatly weakened by the failure of Harvell to return to school. The ineligibility of Waddell, who was not in school last quarter, has also been greatly felt. The standing of the ladder at present is as follows: 1. Elgin. 2. Dalrymple. 3. Blaylock. ' 4. Cone. 5. Coving ton. . 6. Matthews. 7. Bunch. 8. Norwood.. 9. Scott. 10. Sho han. 11. Causey. 12. Crowson. 13. Eaton. The inaugural address of Speaker Warren was presented before the Phi Assembly, Tues day night. The oaths of the so ciety to the new men were ad ministered to George Thompson and W. M. Thomas, bringing the total of the initiates for the year to fifty-two. "The Phi Assembly is a vital part of the University life," Mr. Warren began in his speech. If we are to be leaders of men, according to the speaker, we must have the power of force fully conveying our thoughts. For this reason the society should act" as a training place in which with a serious and ac tive attitude we may increase our speaking abilities. The As sembly can also be an important factor in molding the opinions of the campus and making every thing connected with the Uni versity better and finer. A committee was selected to confer with the Di Senate con: cerning the Mary D. Wright De bate and to formulate plans for the Intra - Freshman Debate This is to consist of Ralph Noe, chairman, Walter Kelley, R. M. Hardee, and J. H, Harrell. . The motion was introduced to the effect that the hour of meet ing be changed to 7 :00 o'clock from the previous 7:30. This seemed to require little discus sion and found favor in the vot ing of the members. The next resolution concerned the levying of a Franchise Tax for the support of an eight months school term. Messrs. Hardee, Parker and Mewborn heartily supported this idea as most necessary for the general progress of the state. They fur ther stressed the unfair advan tage in education that fell to the lot of the city child. Messrs. Johnston and Whitley opposed this plan and spoke of exper ience as being an important teacher for children in rural dis tricts. No immediate' decision could be reached because of the expressed desire of many to at tend the Noel lecture. The reso lution was tabled and the meet ing adjourned bfore its custom ary time. CAPT. NOEL LECTURES . ON EVEREST SCALERS Yesterday evening in " Mem orial Hall, Captain Paul Noel, of ficial photographer of the Mount Everest Expedition, gave an il lustrated lecture on the attemp ted conquest of Nature's last stronghold. Previous to 1921 only one expedition had attemp ted to reach the summit of Ever est, the world's highest moun tain, which reaches a height of 29,000 feet or five and one-half miles above sea level. This par ty, composed of skilled alpine climbers, was forced to turn back after reaching the height of 24,600 feet on account of at mospheric conditions. In 1921 an expedition was sent to Tibet under the auspices of the National Geographic Society and the Alpine Club to map the mountain and the outlying terri tory. Then, in 1922, an at tempt was made to reach the top, but the climbers, after (Continued on page four) IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR FRATERNITIES In order that the rushing season which is being used this year : may . function properly," It is absolutely necessary that all fraterni ties, both national and lo cal, send in a list of the men whom they wish to bid to Ed.

TAR HEELS MEET MARYLAND NEXT Odds Favor the Eastern Team . Carolina Determined to Win. GAME AT COLLEGE PARK North Carolina's football team leaves Chapel Hill en route to College Park today, where they will meet the heavy University of Maryland eleven. Strong odds' favor the Mary land team to win. Despite the fact that three out of four games have resulted in defeat, the College Park students have an exceptionally powerful foot ball machine. Chicago, with its pile-drive tactics, hammered through Coach Curley Byrd's defense for a victory early in the season. South Carolina administered a second defeat when touchdowns resulted from a pass and a block ed kick. Last Saurday Mary land opened the contest with the mighty V. P. I. in flourishing style, and gave the spectators cause to believe that, the Vir ginians would be crushed. Fum bles and penalties however, ex tracted fight from the Maryland ers' offense, and, at the same time, aided V. P. I. in obtaining a decisive victory. ... Saturday Maryland will tackle Carolina with a vim made doubly forceful by anxiety to wipe out the stain left by defeats at the hands of Chicago, South Caro lina and V. P. I.

Abernethy, Univer sity physician, reminded stu dents in Chapel yesterday that all men are required to come to the infirmary when they are sick enough to go to bed.' "We shall be glad to see you at the infirm ary," he said. "We have 42 beds there, and we demand that you occupy one when you have a bad cold or anything else that neces sitates your going to bed."
