TWO
OF CANDLE STICKS
Di Calendar
Room 414 Ruff in differs from the
general run of dormitory rooms in
that it is a studio and houses ' two
artists. These boys are both from
v Clayton, North Carolina. Their art
is chiefly the making, of wooden can
dles for decorative purposes, hut they
also, at at least one of them, does
wax modelling work and expert wood
carving. 1 . .
The inside of this dormitory studio
is interesting to see. Candles of many
colors hang on racks in process of dry
- ing. On the work table may be seen
several unfinished candles or a half-
done piece of quaint and delicate wood
carving, jxo matter wnen one visits
the room he finds something , in the
process of creation. It is a busy
place, though quiet and orderly.
The reaL-artist of the two, Sexton
Layton, a freshman, began this sort
f work in his home town of Clayton
about five or six years ago.- At first
he only carved a few walking-sticks
and candlesticks. Later he took
! rather irregular lessons from a neigh
bor who jhad studied at art school,
soon, he became more proficient, and
was able to sell some of his hand
carved candle holders. .
The following - summer, while a
councillor at Camp Sequoia, Layton
carved a totem pole thirty feet tall,
and left; it as an offering to the camp.
Upon returning home he began
another thirty foot totem pole, which
he sold to an Asheville man for one
hundred and fiffy dollars. -
Last summer, while . in Raleigh
studying wax art modelling he met a
prominent New, England . artist who
urged the boy to go back to Massa
chusetts with him and study oil paint
ing, rneir last mgnt togetner tne
two sat up till five A. M. discussing
the boy's possibilities. Layton finally
decided on coming to Chapel Hill, but
he hopes to accept the artist's offer
some day. He is practicing oil paint
ing as he goes along and is fair at it

It is a hope of his to inaugurate, and
conduct a class in wax art modelling
here in the near future.
Three : years ago a woman- asked
him if he could carve her a set of
wooden candles. He' did, and as he
hand-painted them the notion struck
him of making wooden candles, paint
ing them, and dipping them in wax.
As far as we know this is an original
idea, and from it the boys have built
up a wooden candle business 'that ex
tends over a large part of the -state
with v their present headquarters at
414 Ruffin.

Tennis Team Trains
.For Virginia Meet
Clash With Virginia Squad Will Be
First Intercollegiate Meet of Year.
In spite " of inclement weather for
the past week Coach Kenfield has been
working the tennis squad hard ' in
preparation for' the meet with Vir
ginia at . Charlottsvilie-. Thursday
mornThg. This contest will be the
first intercollegiate meet of the year,
" and the local mentor is pointing his
men for a victory over the upstaters.
A ranking board which has been
placed on the courts this year en
ables one to ascertain with a glance
the relative standings of the players
A player is privileged to challenge
anyone who is not more than three
places ahead of him in the standings,
and the challenged player must ac
cept this question of his standing
within ten days or forfeit his place
through delault. , However no one
player is required to 'defend his posi-
tion mbije than once a week.
The netmen hold places in the rela
tive standings in the order named :
Yoemans, Shapiro, Norwood, Merritt,
Scott, Rhett; 4 ' Bryan, Lassiter,
Ewoanks, and Potter. From these
men Coach Kenfield will pick, the
team to oppose the Cavalier court men.
Yoemans and. Shapiro have improved
their playing considerably this year,
though they were stars of the first
-magnitude as freshmen last season.-)
These, two "will, no doubt, prove to be
towers of .strength on the team this
year.
, The tennis squad is fortunate in
having the services of , such a tutor
as Coach Kenfield. He has been
given credit for having much to do
with the developement of George
Lott into aphenom on courts of this
country. However Virginia is ex
pected to contest this meet very
strongly, and the' outcome will give
a good insight into the strength of the
team this year. v ,

Dartmouth President
HANOVER, N. IL, Nov. 23 Presi
dent Earnest M. JHopkins, of Dart
mouth, today appealed to Jess Haw-
lev, football coach, and Harry R
'Heneagey athletic director, to cance
their plans to fly to Chicago for
Saturday's football game, with North

In a letter to Heneage Dr. Hop
kins oointed out . that the loss ' of
both the football game and the col
lege athletic leaders would be too
great a blow for the occasion.
"If you feeVthe call of, aviation in
your blood," Dr. Hopkins wrote, & "I
would like'to sepecify at least you
and Coach Hawley should fly in sep
arate planes.' y'

Hill Cemetery Has
Ay Literary Origin
The Dialectic "and Philanthropic
iterary societies were co-authors of
the Chapel Hill graveyard. , During
the war between the states certain
members of the societies, whose homes
were very far away, died and were
buried at the place where the Chapel
Hill graveyard is now situated. Thus,
this particular - barying-ground is
somewhat unique in that it had a
literary origin. ; :
Article 5,section 10 of the constitu
tion of the Dialectic : Senate states
that each president of .the society
shall visit these graves at some time
during his term of office. Formerly,
the constitution provided for-a Com
mittee on Graves whose duty was 5 to
see that these graves were kept pro
perly. Although a revision of the
constitution during recent years has
done away with this committee, it is
still a function of the president to
visit the graves of thesenate's buried
dead.
