"Big" Rankin now has a little comfort; for he not only has warm quarters, but he is also bothered no longer by that oft-repeated ques tion, "When you goin' to have your joint heated, Fatty?" - Mr. B. S. Abernathy, who was for a number of years a student at the University, was married at Charleston, W. Va. , to Miss Nina A. DuLaney, of Slate Mills, Va., on December 21.. Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy are here now spending some time with Mr. Abernathy 's people. Mr. W. E. Lindsay has been recommended to succeed Mr. W. A. Lloyd as postmaster at this place, but his appointment has not as yet been confirmed. Mr. Lloyd has made an excellent postmaster, being uniformly kind and courteous in his dealings with the public, and his many friends among the students regret to know that he may soon be deposed. ' A committee was appointed from each of the literary societies last fall to consider ways and means whereby the intercollegiate debat ers might be rewarded for their persistent and arduous work. The committee decided upon a mono gram for a watch fob, but as there was some dispute in the societies over the knid of monogram the mat ter is still open. It is believed, however, that some distinguishing mark will certainly be awarded. A Junior Prom. Naughty Nine met Tuesday, after noon at the call of vice-president J. T. Johnston to consider the ad visability of having a Junior Prom enade. It was the unanimous opin ion of the class that this dance will be a good thing. It will break the monotony of the winter and will contribute a great deal to the social life of the students. It will serve to remove social friction and to har monize and unify social life. A committee composed of Messrs. George Thomas, Kemp Battle, and Frank Graham was appointed to confer with Dr. Venable concerning the dance. If this plan material izes, the dance will be held on the night of February the twenty-first. Another meeting will be held on Thursday to receive the report of the committee and to take final ac tion upon it. The Rhodes Scholarship. The examination of the candidates for the Rhodes Scholarship to Ox ford, England, will be held at this University on Tuesday and Wed nesday, January 21 and 22. The candidates will be examined Tues day on translation from Latin into English, Latin prose, and arithme tic, and Wednesday on translation from Greek into English, Latin grammar, Greek grammar, and algebra or geometry. The candidates are Stuart G. Noble, of Florida, a . graduate of the University; O. R. Rand, of Smithfield, a member of the Senior class; J. D. Sidbury, of Holly Ridge, a Senior at Trinity College. Immediately after the examina tion the papers will be forwarded to Oxford to be graded, and the successful contestant will be chosen from those who pass the qualifying examination. Entertainment Saturday Night. The Whitney Brothers Quartette will appear in Gerrard Hall Satur day night under the management of the v Star Course committee. This is the fourth number on the Star Course program, and it prom ises to be one of the best. The quartette is composed of four broth ers William F. Whitney, first bass; Alvin M., first tenor; Edwin M., second tenor and reader; Yale B., second bass. The company comes highly rec ommended and as nothing pleases the University students more in the line of entertainment than a good male quartette it is believed that the entertainment will be a decided success. The tickets are on sale at the University drug store. Hare and Hounds Run. Beginning Saturday afternoon at 4:30 there will be a regular weekly hare and hounds run for all men in terested in getting up their wind, and hardening themselves for ath letics later in the spring. While primarily for track men, it is de sired that as many men as would care for a regular cross country run be at the gymnasium at 4:30 Saturday afternoon, weather per mitting. This first run will not be over a mile and a half, across country, following a paper trail. Two men, well known distance run ners, will carry the paper, with a two minutes start. Any hound gaining on the hares will be hare at the next run. The first trail will probably be laid by Captain Bridgers and some other distance j man, either Everett or Ruffin. Aj i suitable costume would be full sleeved jersey, gymnasium pants, ' and some low quartered shoes, spikes if you have them. We want as many men out for these runs as possible. Track is certainly the weakest branch of our intercollegiate athletics. We wait too long in the spring before we get busy at our training. Cross country running is a popular phase of track athletics in the northern colleges, and their excellence is in no small degree due to their long and regular out door runs. A reg ular weekly two and three mile run for the next two months will do wonders for a man's wind and en durance, the two vital factors in the making of a track athlete. There is room in the woods for all of you. We want at least twenty five men to follow the first trail. D. M. PmivUPS. Law Class Officers. The law class elected the follow ing officers Monday: H.-Y. Heyer, president; J. A. Long, vice-president. Glenn Hudson, sec. and treas. CIVIL MOOT COURT. J. J. Parker, judge. Cliff Frazier, solicitor. J. T. Morehead, Jr., clerk. Bob Howell, sheriff. CRIMINAL, MOOT COURT. F. L. Dunlap, judge. H. S. Kirkpatrick, clerk. D. B. Paul, sheriff. R. J. Miller, Jr., coroner. Mr. Sugg, much to the regret of his many friends, has resigned as college policeman. His successor has not yet been appointed. Three Debates This Spring. The University has three debates scheduled for this spring. The first one will be held in Chapel Hill on the first Friday in April. Geor gia is the opponent on this date, and a great contest is to be expect ed, for Georgia is putting forth every effort in her power to stop Carolina's steady succession of vic tories and turn the trick in her own favor. The query is "Resolved, That the State should not prescribe a Maximum Railway Rate." Car olina has the affirmative. The pre liminary contest will be held about Febuary 15, and those who intend to enter the contest should notify Mr. J. W.Umstead, Jr., by January 15. The next debate on the program will be held on the third Friday night in March with George Wash ington University. The query is "Resolved, That the Open Shop Subserves the Interests of the Laboring Classes." Carolina has the negative. This debate will also be held in Chapel Hill. The final debate is that with Vir- gima. The date ana question nave not yet been decided upon. It was thought late last fall that it would be possible to form a tri angular debating league with Vir ginia and Johns Hopkins, the plan having been proposed by Virginia. Later comunications, however, from Virginia advised that Johns Hop kins was unwilling to enter the league. It is to be hoped that such a league can be formed next year.
