TRACK COACHES
ARE NOT IMPEDED
BY BAD WEATHER
Cinder Path Was Clear of Snow
By Three O'clock Yesterday.
MEN WORKOUT IN GYM
Coach Fetzer Wants More Can
didates for Field Events.
While the University and com
munity have been snow-bound
and football and baseball prac
tice at a standstill, the track
coaches have been putting the
men through regular work-outs
in the gym. A corps of workers
have been Dusny engaged in
clearing the outdoor track of
its white blanket and at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, the cinder
path was cleared and ready for
the runners.
Coach Ranson states that he
has a very energetic bunch out
for the track events this year,
but so far only a few candidates
have reported for the field
events on both the varsity and
freshman squads. The first
meet of the season " comes the
28th of this month when Caro
lina meets Duke University.' Fol
lowing the Duke meet, the track
squad will be faced with a very
heavy schedule which calls for
an average of about one meet
each week until the Conference
Championship which will be held
at Louisiana State University,
Baton Rouge, La., on May 13th
and 14th. Indications are that
with the exception of he. field
events the team: this year will
be as strong as in the past and
the coaches urge that more men
come out and try for the field
events. Anyone interested in
the shot put, discus throw, jave
lin throw, pole vault, high jump,
and broad jump is urged to come
out.
Coach Bob Fetzer stated yes
terday afternoon that the re
ports from Atlanta in regard to
the Annual Tech Relay Meet
which will be held at Georgia
Tech on April 9th, indicate that
the relays this season will be the
best ever held. The four-mile
relay team representing Caro
lina has won this event for the
past two years. However, the
relay team this year will have to
overcome some stiff opposition
if it carries off the four mile
conference title and brings the
cup back to Chapel Hill.

In Big Snow Battle
Dean ' Paulsen of Laundry
fame and poet extraordinaire of
the "Smoke Screen," is i also , a
handy man when it comes to
moving snow, or. washing ita
way as it were. Now that
sounds funny. But it actually
happened. City manager Knox
and some Street hands turned a
fire hose on the banks of snow
that the road scraper had moved
near the curb in front of the
Smoke Shop and Stetson "D's"
place and as a result the drifts
started moving into the sewer.
Several student onlookers had
assembled and were watching
the men paddle like children in
the melting snow.
The work was progressing
with the usual quietness which
characterizes (' most forms of
manual labor until some devilish
stude soaked the' Dean on the
chest with a snow-ball. Grady
Pritchard who had come out to
represent Pritchard-Patterson's
on the field of battle, was greet
ed also with a spherical missile
of snow. A regular snow battle
seemed at hand, but it proceeded
no further than a skirmish be
tween' Dean Paulsen and Grady
Pritchard. ' .
Nevertheless the snow is gone
from that part of the town and
autos are parked in regular order.
Freshmen Harriers
To Meet Charlotte
Events Will Be Held on Emerson
Field if Weather Will Permit.
The freshman track team will
meet the Charlotte high school
here next Saturday, March 12,
if the snow clears away enough
to allow the meet to be held.
Tryouts for the various events
were scheduled to; take place
yesterday and today, but were
postponed on account of the con
dition of the track.
The ability shown by the
freshmen in the indoor track
meet which will be held in the
Tin Can on Wednesday night
will in a large way determine the
holders of the places on the
freshman squad.-

Bradshaw Urges Students
To Secure Loans Early
Dean Bradshaw urges that
students who wish to make
loans from the University at the
end of this quarter or the begin
ning of the next should see him
immediately. This . will avoid
the usual rush and general con
fusion at the beginning of each
quarter.

(Continued from pagt one)
University begaij to fill up with
sons of farmers, merchants, and
other professional men. How
ever, the influence of the Dia
lectic and Philanthropic Socie
ties, composed as they were of
both elements of the students.
tended to turn the stream of pol
ities' into other channels. The
two societies controlled the cam
pus and the election of all offi
cers. At that time the best pol
itical "plums" were the offices
of chief marshall, chief ball man
ager, and commencement speak
ers from each society.
The winter of 1880 witnessed
a regular political campaign
with all the accouterments of
party tickets, ' caucusses, and
heated campaigning. At this
period the dormitories were di
vided between Di and Phi mem
bers, the former occupying Old
West, New West, and the west
end of South while the latter
was trenched in Old East, New
East, and east end of South.
Each of these buildings was
thoroughly organized into strong
factions; Charles Brantley Ay-

About this time three frater
nities had been established sub
rosa at the University and had
taken over politics from the old
parties. Everything had to be
done very, quietly for fraterni
ties were still forbidden. ;
Fraternity control awoke op
position, and in the fall of 1894
a strong non-fraternity party
was organized under the mili
tant leadership of Leonard
Charles VanNoppen and Charles
Leonard VanNoppen, of Greens
boro. Their political organ was
'The White and Blue," a weekly
newspaper published in opposi
tion to the Tar Heel. Leonard
C. VanNoppen was the first edi
tor, and serving as assistants
were Thomas J. Wilson, H. E.
C. Bryant, and J. O. Carr. This
publication declared that the
Tab Heel was controlled by fra
ternity men and published ex
clusively in the interests of ath
letics, that the Hettenian (the
predecessor of the present Yack
ety Yack) was controled by, fra
ternities, and "that these publi
cations give the impression that
fraternity men are the only stu
dents at the University.", "The
White and Blue" waged a bitter
war upon fraternities, labeling
them a disintegrating influence
upon the campus and appealing
to the trustees of the University
to abolish such pernicious organ
izations. The fraternities gave out a
list of their members, which in
cluded so, many prominent stu
dents, including the sons of the
president, that the trustees de
cided to Hake no action. After
this the fraternities got the up
per hand again and remained in
supreme control until about 1900
when the non-f raterhity f actio'n,
under the skilful leadership of
Edgar D. Broadhurst, of Greens
boro, came back into control and
secured every political office for

During this whole period feel
ing between the two rival fac
tions ran high and often ended
in fistic encounters. In the elec
tions every possible effort was
made to secure victory and not
every effort could be called per
fectly honest and above re
proach. Frame-ups, swaps, and
hnd-outs were familiar aspects
of the situation.
Prior to 1899 positions as
University debaters were usu
ally dished out as political plums
by aspiring politicians ; often the
senior debaters were chosen se
cretly as early as their, sopho
more year. In '99 a fight was
made to have these men select
ed by competition. A hard strug
gle it proved to be, but it was
carried through by such men as
E. D. Broadhurst and W. S. Ber
nard The matter was debated
in the societies for the entire
year but finally passed though
drastic measures were neces
sary. Une member, fnulip uus
bee, was sick and had to be hur
riedly dressed and taken to the
hall in order to make the vote
a tie; then the president, Jun
ius Grimes, cast the deciding
vote for competitive selection.
In 1900 there was a very stiff
fig'ht waged over the position of
chief ball manager. The Zeta
Psi's formed a coalition with the
non-fraternity men in which the
Zeta Phi's were to get the ball
manager and the presidency of
the senior class, while all other
officers were to be non-fraternity
men. This secret trade be
came known, however, and the
other frats organized at the S.
A. E. house and made plans for
a hot race. Voting could be done
by proxy at that time, so the lat
ter party made out a number of
blank proxies dated the day of
the election, went through the
dormitories on a cold, rainy
night and collected enough prox
ies to secure a two-thirds major
ity vote. This election 'was chal
lenged and another held. Weal
thy men on both sides flooded the
campus with "election liquor,"
and the new vote was taken with
half the students drunk.
The two junior orders, Gim
ghouls and Gorgon's Head were
struggling for the ascendancy
in athletic control and were, to
gether with the fraternities,
largely responsible for corrup
tion in the athletic situation in
attempts to control the election
of captains and officers of the
athletic association.

Your mouth fairly waters for a taste of tobacco
that smells as good as that. Then you load up
and light up ah! ...
Cool. Sweet. Fragrant. Old words, I'll ad'

they can mean in a pipe-bowl packed with P. A.
Maybe you've always thought such pipe-pleasure
was "just around the corner." Try a load
