' THE TAR HEEL. r ti,m.
I
All Balled Up
V
An exciting game of volley ball which is one of the many sports, in
cluding tennis, baseball, swimming, boating, hiking, and horseback riding.
These recreations are an integral part of the conference program and are
participated in by numbers of students and delegates.
CAMPUS TRACK
MEET APRIL 10
Meet Will Be Run Off on Team
Basis With Dorms and
1 Fraternities.
Inexperienced trackmen will have
their greatest chance in the annual
track and field meet, to be held on
Emerson Field next Wednesday,
April 10. Both the varsity and
the freshmen will have meets before
that date, and all men participating
in those meets this week-end - will be
ineligible "for the Intramural meet.
That gives the new men their chance.
.The Intramural meet, limited to
the novices, may also prove a direct
stepping' stone to a varsity berth.
Coaches Bob Fetzer, Dale Ranson,
Chuck Quinlan and Lester Belding
will be watching the "greenhorns"
work on Wednesday, and any prom
ising men will be asked t6 report for
track.
The meet will be run on a team
basis, with dormitories and fraterni
ties both entering teams. A- man
must.be a member of a fraternity or
room in a dormitory to run for that
unit. In past meets' the dormitories
have been allowed to sign up men
out in town, but that will not be al
lowed this time. Such practice has
not been deemed fair to' the f raterni
ties, for the dorm managers have
larger groups to choose from with

VARIED PROGRAM
AT BLUE RIDGE
FOR DELEGATES
Unusual Values Are Offered for
Y.M. and Y.W. Workers; In
N , teresting Speakers. ,
Few Student Conferences -of the
past have been in position to announce
three such speakers as Fletcher
Brockman, Christian World states
man, T. Z. Koo, Interpreter of the
Orient to the West and inimitable
in his presentation of the heart of
the Christian message, and Dr. Henry
Crane, perhaps the most acceptable
speaker today to students of the
Eastern colleges and universities.
Two other speakers of this caliber
will be announced later.
The Guidance Motif Dominant
Certain major life, adjustments con
front students during their four years
in college. , They must decide what
they are going to do about vocation,
girls, religion, the church, education,
etc., which proves a baffling ex
perience. Most are puzzled by the dif
ficulties involved! Many make their
choices blindly and disastrously,
Decision is often forced without ade
quate consideration of all the facts,
either because they are not avail
able or for lack , of time. A need
voiced by students everywhere is for
Men I sympathetic and able guidance in

early as possible on Wednesday, but

Oak Ridge Downs
Carolina Frosh
The Oak Ridge baseball team was
too strong foT the Carolina freshmen
and the Tar Babies were forced to
take the short end of the score 8 to
0. The Tar Babies were unable to
solve the slants of - Wilson, who al
lowed only three hits during the
game, two of which were made by
Chapman, Tar Baby pitcher. The
Oak -Ridge team made only seven
hits, but by taking advantage of
Greene's wildness and the five errors
made by the young Tar Heels, they
were converted into eight runs.
After Chapman took over the pitch
ing job "in the fourth inning, the
Cadets had trouble, Chapman allow
ing only three hits and one run in
the last six innings.
Impressive Easter
Service is Held At
Christian Church
A very impressive service was held
at the Christian church Sunday morn
ing. The program had been carefully
arranged, and everyone there enjoyed
the simple service.
Before the services George Lawrence
played several Easter hymns on a
trombone. The choir followed, in a
rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus.
Following this, Mrs. Braun sang a so
lo, "The Old Rugged Cross".
Appropriate talks were then made
by Rev. B. J. Howard and Rev. W. F.
Mattox. ,
SPRING BOXING PRACTICE
Ed Butler, coach of the, boxing
team, issued a call yesterday after
noon for spring boxing practice,
which will commence at four o'clock
this afternoon in the Tin Can.

these areas. .
What student would not welcome
the opportunity to spend a period in
intimate daily contact with a group
of outstanding older Christian - men
skilled in counselling? That is just
what Blue Ridge is prepared to do
this coming summer. With adequate
provision .for personal conference,
forum and group discussion, inspir
ing presentations and ample time for
quiet meditation in the seclusion of
the mountains, an almost unparalleled
opportunity is made available. The
best skilled leadership to be found
is drawn' from colleges and universi
ties both North and South. For the
vocational counselling service, there
will be. a group of counsellors selected
from Southern colleges, who will give
their whole .thought and time to the
personal needs of individual students.
This part of the program is being
planned and carried through by, a
group of college deans under the
Chairmanship of President H. W.
Chase, of the University of North
Carolina. Dean Francis F. Bradshaw
has been secured as expert leader of
this group in the field of counselling,
and associated with him will be Mr.
Harry Bone, of Columbia University
and Union Seminary on campus life
adjustments and Dr. English Bagby,
well known expert in the psychology
of personality. These three leaders,
with the group of twenty to twenty
five choice counsellors selected from
the more important institutions in
the South will provide a service quite
unique in the quality of its personnel
and the service to. be rendered.
High Grade Bible Study
Rare, indeed, will be the privilege
of those who attend the conference
this year in their opportunity to ex
perience such interpretations of the
Bible as will be provided under the
leadership of Dr. Bruce Curry, of
Ney York, Dr. William J. Hutchins,
of Berea College, Mr. Harry Bone of
the National Council of Y. M. C. A.'s,
Dr. J. M. Culbreth, of the Methodist
Board of Education, and Dr. H. M.
LeSourd, of Duke University. This
has been arranged in answer to the
strongly expressed desire on the part
of students for opportunity to gain
an inspiring acquaintance with the
Bible.
This phase of the Conference will
be in charge of competent athletic di
rectors who will help organize the
sports, tennis, basketball, swimming,
rowing, track, hiking, etc. The af
ternoons will be completely devoted
to these activities or to such recrea
tion as the delegates themselves may
choose.
My dear Son:
This to inform you that your
scholastic standings for the second
quarter of your first year 'at college
are at hand. They are in every way
identical with your first quarter's
grades. Your consistency, my son, is
worthy of all praise. Despite five
years of like records during your high
school career they afford me no small j
thrill. I take this opportunity .to ex
tend congratulations, for your ability
to remain in college is nothing short
of art. In some ways, my boy, you
are a genius. The masterly manner
in which you expend but the minumum
of physical and mental energy in any
field you undertake marks you ef
ficient to a decided degree. And
should you ever from indications
this might come to pass come
bounding home quite unexpectedly, I
assure you that you will find ample
opportunity to express your efficient
tendencies in and about the barns of
the farm that I own some few miles
west of this city.
You, I have no doubt, felt it unneces
sary to write home and explain the
marks you attained, and in this res
pect you are quite correct. They de
mand no explanation, speaking quite
plainly for themselves. Yet I realize,
of course, that grades are merely the
alphabetical playthings of biased pro
fessors and are in no way indicators
of real knowledge gained. The "F
minus" you earned in physical educa
tion was nothing short of phenomenal.
Having atteneded college once myself
I know that you must have spent many
diligent hours with your books in that
course.
As your letters have been very ir
regular, your mother and I have not
heard from you since you were at home
in the early hoursof "the mornings
during tha Christmas recess. Your
mother fears that you may be' in a
state of ill health as a result of too
conscientious study. I have assured
her, however, that you are in fine
mettle. Your numerous checks, which
are in no way irregular, come in daily
signed in a firm, healthy hand and
it is through them that I am always
m contact with your physical welfare
and numerous outside activities. In
deed, I would venture to say that you
hold some kind of an amateur record
for check writing over a period of
the last six months, an achievement
of which I am constantly reminded
by the cashier of the First National
Bank. This is an age when everyone
must hold some kind of a record. I
half wish, however, that you had
chosen to distinguish yourself in some
other way.
I almost forgot to mention a letter
from the dean of your college which
came along with your marks. Be
cause of the wide scope of your extra
curricular activities and also because
of the quality of your academic work
you have caused that gentleman to sit
up and take notice. He told me a
great deal of, old news about you in
very definite language. Strange to
say, he differed with you as to the
real value of your grades.
Should the faculty of your institu
tion fail to uphold my faith in you
and act unfavorably toward your pe
tition, on arriving home you will find
a pair of overalls in your room and
a Ford out in front waiting to take
you out to the farm at once. I might
add that work along agricultural lines
is a bit difficult at present. I would
suggest that college life is always a
bit more pleasant than rural existence
and that you keep this fact in mind
in case your impending reunion with
the home folks falls through.
By the way, you no longer have an
account at the First National, the
same having died the proverbial nine
deaths of an alley cat some days ago,
and I thought it best to let it remain
dead and thus put a stop to the mas
sacre. Hereafter, a check will show
up on Monday of each week large
enough to pay for your necessary ex
penses and an occasional evening with
one of the host of your feminine ad
mirers. It would be hardly sufficient,
however, to enable you to continue
your policy of buying your college in
installments.
; Should you take time from your
studies to write our address is still
the same.
YOUR ADMIRING FATHER.

TO SEE ACTION
AGAINST V. P. I.
Cinder Team Is Built Up Around
Few Veterans; Meet on
y Saturday.
The University of North Carolina
cinder team that will meet V. P. I. in
the dual meet on the coming Satur
day has amassed its strength around
a ' few. veterans assisted by a horde
of new men, a number springing up
from last year's frosh team.
Among the outstanding men repre
senting the Blue and White in the
struggle with V. P. I. are to be found
Harper and Adkins in the weights;
Cowper, who established a Univer
sity record, of 12 ft. lin. in the pole
vault during the recent indoor meet;
Neiman, sophomore vaulter and broad
jumper; Stafford and Perry, veteran
timber toppers; Smith, a letterman,
and Gary, an aspiring sophomore in
the sprints; Harrison and Garret in
the' 440 yard dash ; Nims, college hold
er of the 440 record, is being pointed
for the 880 along with Hamer, Cox,
and Medford; the assignments in the
mile run will probably fall to three
veterans of last year, Fisher, Bark
ley, Wrenn. Captain Johnny Hen
derson can be counted on to place in
the two milerun; Captain Henderson
is the holder of the Southern Confer
ence record in this event with a time
of V minutes 38 and one-tenth seconds,
having gained this premier position
in southern prominence in a dual
meet with Duke March 27, 1928, with
Lowry and Baukom as his cohorts.
The meet on Saturday will deter
mine just how these men can stand
the strain of keen competition and
will be the first dope on the Tar Heel
ciridermen in their dash toward the
Southern crown.

Jest a-sittin', smokin' Edgeworth
An' a-thinkm', dear of you; :
An' a candle's burnin' brightly,
An' it says your love is true.
For the days are long, of waitin',
An' the nights are longer still,
An' sometimes (always smokin')
I pick up this old quill
An' try to write some poetry
To tell you of my love.
As poetry it ain't much good,
But holy days above
It's jest the best I can, an' so
You'll find me, when I'm through.
Jest a-sittin', smokin' Edgeworth,
