So far as Conference tourna ments go, it will be virtually a green and untried Tar Heel bas ketball squad that leaves the campus tonight in quest of a fifth Southern title. Captain Bunn Hackney will be the only Carolina player who has ever gone through a tourna ments series. The Atlanta fans will miss the familiar faces of such former stars as the Car michael brothers, Newcombe, Cobb, Dodderer, Purser, and Devin. Considering the material he had to start with, Coach Jim Ashemore, who is tutoring the Tar Heels for the first time, has worked wonders. The outlook at the beginning of the season was distinctly discouraging, but with Hackney and Vanstory as a nucleus, Coach Ashemore has built up a team that has made a remarkably brilliant record, re gardless of what it, does in the Conference series. Of 15 games with other college teams, the Tar Heels have dropped only four. Two of these went to Maryland in a two-game series, another went to the Navy by a close score, and the fourth was lost to Wake Forest in the first of the two-game series. Carolina has won the South ern Conference crown four times in the last five years. Kentucky .and the Mississippi Aggies have been the only other teams to win the coveted title since the; At lanta series was inaugurated six years ago. Using a system of play brought here by Major Boyce, of Army fame, the Tar Heels won the Southern cham pionship in 1922 and the South Atlantic title in 1923 without the cervices of a coach. In 1924 they were coached by Norman Shepard, in 1925 by Monk. Mo Donald, and last year by Page Sanborn. ' After all due allowances are made,. it must be admitted that the prospects of another cham pionship are not so bright as in previous years. The present Carolina quint hasn't shown the consistency of brilliant play that the teams of 1924 and 1925 seemed to "possess. Last, year's quint was much like this season's in that it had its ups and downs throughout the season, losing the State title to a team that it defeated by a wide margin on one previous occasion and was admittedly capable of defeating again. But when the Tar Heel team of 1926 got into the Con ference it seemed to strike its OPEN FORUM ;. ' ..-.A I; ME; IT; DULA Editor ofTAR Heel: There snail be wars and rumors of wars." Reference is made to the fac that some of the students object to having a six or 'eight-hour assignment handed out. to them every day by the same profeS' sor. The ones who object this practice should get the view-i point of the professor and real ize the fact that the only thing that amounts to anything, in co. to lece or in the nutsiriA world, in top-notch stride and not .only - to thaj. particular course, and they should study- it zealously from be able to hold it throughout the series but to improve in every game, it was tne ability to tne Tar Heels to keep their stamina at a consistent pitch throughout the series that has won them the title in the past. Question now is: Does this year's team possess that stam ina, that quality of endurance that means so much in a long race The opening game with Tennessee will probably answer that question in large measure, for the engagement with the Volunteers is not to be taken lightly. They have already de feated Kentucqy and Auburn, and, while not tooted a great deal, are really one of the out standing teams of the Confer ence. The Carolina squad should en ter the tournament fully con scious of the fact that it will have to fight as it has never fought this season if it hopes to bring home further honors. Only small percentage of the stu dent body will be able to attend the tournament, but the Tar Heels will have the satisfaction eany aawn tin tne wee sma: hours of the succeeding morning neglecting all of their other courses, the Pick, and all social activities. Freshmen should even be excused from chapel to study the "all-important" cours es. Since there is nothing to col lege except books and study, a few rules of syntax and gram mar, and - a', few facts about ancient literature and history, a person should bury himself in his books and forget that any thing else exists. V Such things as recreation athletics, social life, and friend ships and associations should be absolutely ignored, shunned and avoided. Students should seek refuge in their books from al such non-essentials and should thank all thoughtful professors for affording an excuse for do ing nothing else but studying. Some students might object to studying all of the time. These recreants should be given a nice heart-to-heart talk by some advisory functionary such as a battle, that back in North Caro- dean 1 ?tudents nd en ina and throughout the Squth- and thousands upon thousands of eyes will be.turned toward At- anta and focused on the little group of men who hold in the palm of their hands the basket ball destiny of the greatest uni versity in the South. . upon their honor to not waste a single moment doing anything except studying.

First Dances Included Duels (Continued from page one) afterwards official commencement balls were inaugurated. The chief ball . manager, and three assistants were chosen from student monitors of behavior. - The Virginia Reel Those first commencements were great occasions for the tiny village of Chapel Hill, isolated for long un eventful years in the wilderness of Orange county hills. Visitors came on horseback, in sulkies, in public stages, and on foot, over miserable roads from as far as Raleigh, Hills boro, and even distances as great as sixty or a hundred miles to attend the exercises. Many a belle survived the jolting trip on the four horse stage-coach and, after the last speech es were over, together with the ladies of the village mingled with college beaux in the minuet and Virginia Beel The only available place to dance was Steward's Hall, a big resi dence painted white with green blinds which stood facing west on the site of the present Carr Building. It was in the dining room of this house, which for years was the compulsory board ing house for the students, that first university dances took place. The balls in that dingy, low-ceilinged little room with rough pine floor were gay affairs, rustic imitations of the grand society of the Philadelphian .capital. Tradition has it, writes Dr.' Battle, that in the old days venerable Trus tees and Faculty and their pupils, hair plaited jnto pig tails and wigs powdered, with legs encased in tight fitting stockings and knees resplendent with buckles, danced in the cotillion and Virginia Reel with the beauteous damsels of .the day to the lively tunes of a negro fiddler."

C. of 1804, in the days when a student body of half hundred students spoke Greek, drank French wines and fought s secret duels; romantic times when a point of honor meant the point of a sword. The ball was re membered for a brawl arising from a quarrel between two students, one of whom had trodden on the other's toes, in which a fight with knives resulted in a serious wound to one of the par ticipants.' Each year after, the ball at the close of the session increased in im portance and brilliance. The enlarged student body created greater interest in the university out in the state and consequently brought larger crowd to the Hill to the commencement cele brations. The perennial ball was a gathering of the height of state soci ety, a display of latest fashions in manners and dress. Most ef the stu dents dressed plaialy for the ball but the apparel of the managers was cost ly and equally as colorful as that of the ladies. Dr. Battle tells of the dress of the chief ball manager in 1818 who wore a coat of sea-green (Continued on page four) I? f5l'lA ' II Sa v es Razor Blades THE softer your beard when shaving, the less work for your razor.
