C . Jan.- Temporary hard times in North i Carolina does not prevent boys and girls from going to college but rather stirs them to go in greater numbers if authentic figures from Dr. T. J. Wilson, Jr., registrar at the University of North Carolina, count for any thing. Dr. Wilson's figures show that attendance at the University has steadily mounted all fall, took a big jump after the Christmas holidays, and is now higher than it has ever been in the history of the institution. Up to date 1,473 students have registered at the university since the opening in September, Of these 70 are new students who registered in January. The number of stu dents who have droppod out of ! college for all reasons since Sep tember is 107, which Dr. Wilson savs is just about the normal number who fall out every year becouse they con not keep up with their work, who are affected by various personal reasons, and who finish their courses before the regular grad uation time. Deducting this loss of 107 from the total registration leaves 1,366 students actually in Chapel Hill today, which is probably the largest number ever on the Hill at any one time. Univer sity records do not show that periods of business depression cause a marked falling off in at tendance. So-called "bad times" generally has the opposite effect one reason being that with high paying jobs scarce some students go to college who would not go otherwise. " And all the univer sity officials are looking for more applications next year than ever before. Co-educational students at the university, re-enforced by 18 new students in Januarv. are beginning to show more life and interest as a body. They recent ly elected as president of the woman's association Miss Ellen Lay, of Beaufort; vice-president, Miss Adeline Denham, of Chapel Hill; secretary, Miss Mary Yell ott, of Bel Air, Md., treasurer, Miss Mary Verner, of Cristobal, Canal Zone. In addition they have organ ized a basketball team and tossed the bomb into the athletic au thorities by politely requesting that they have an hour on the basketball court for practice. Miss Mabel Bacon, of Charlotte, chairman of the woman's athle tic committee, has found a num ber of students who at other colleges were just as successful in shooting the ball in the basket lnC are nuW at Uiiel'ii'ig hi i high grades on their studies. ! 1 he university basketball team the he-team, left Feb. 1, on the longest and hardest northern trip a North Carolina team ever took. In succession they will play Virginia, Washington, and Lee, V. M. I., Georgetown, Rut gers, the Army, the Navy, and Elks Athletic Club of Lynchburg. It will be a trip that will test the team's m,etal to the utmost.

Roanoke Rapids High School Defeats Enfield The best basketball game of the season was played on the local court yesterday afternoon between the Roanoke Rapids High School quint, and the En field High Tossers. The game was very fast throughout, it seemed as if every player thought it was up to him to win the game. The game opened with whirl wind plays which seemed to favor the local tossers. By a succession of fast passes Saun ders shot first goal for high, Daughtry and Harris followed example and shot several goals giving Roanoke Rapids a lead which Enfield was unable to overcome. The first half ended with a score 12-4 in Highs favor. The second half opened with the local quint adding more points to their score. However the Enfield five soon showed more pen and began tossing the ball through the ring at no slow pace, Meyers leading his team. Although they played well and put up a stiff fight they could not overcome the lead of the Roanoke Rapids Boys. The game ended with the score standing 28 to 19 with R. R. H. S. holding the big end. Daughtry and Harris starred for High while Vick, Taylor and Saunders played a hard game. The line up was as follows: Roanoke Rapids, Daughtry, R. F. Harris, L. F. Vick, C. Taylor, R. G. Saunders. (Capt.) L.G. Enfield, Meyers, (Capt) R. F. Stancan, L. F. Neivel, C. ens R. G. Hargrove, L. G.
