ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE
The Btg Question Discussed
From Waynesville to
Elizabeth City
WHOLE STATE APPLAUDS DEBATING UNION
The Sixteen Schools Which Won Both
Debates Will Come to Chapel Hill
for the Final, March 7
Wide-spread interest was taken
throughout the" State in the high
school debates, held under the
auspices of the Debating Union of
North Carolina, last Friday night.
"Woman Suffrage" was discussed
in ninety high schools, ranging from
Waynesville in the west to E'izabeth
City in the east, and from all re
ports it was discussed with intense
enthusiasm.
Sixteen schools have reported to
the committee as having won both
of their debates. These will com
pete in the Final Contest for the
Aycock Memorial Cup, which is to
be held Friday, March 7th, at
Chapel Hill. They are the schools
of Durham, Stoneville, Philadel
phus, Haw Fields, Concord, Mor
ganton, Liberty, Harmony, Mt.
Pleasant, Lum berton , Henderson
ville, Oxford, Coolemee, Holly
Springs, Stem, and Pleasant Gar
den. The debaters for these schools
will arrive in Chapel Hill on Thurs
day, the 6th, and the preliminary
contest, in which two teams will be
selected, will be held Friday morn
ing. Fnday night in Chapel these
two teams wi'l debate each other for
the award of the cup. On the cup
will be engraved the name of the de
baters winning out, together with
the school they represent. The de
baters, while here, will be enter
tained by the different county clubs.
The societies and the county clubs
will spare no effort to make their
stay here a pleasant one.
No other movement started by
the University in recent years has
so been stamped with the approval!
of the State as has this debating'
union, which is the creation of the
Di and Phi Societies. It is endorsed
strongly by high school students,
principals, and superintendents, the
press and the general public the
State over. Supt. A. S. Webb, of
Concord, writes the committee thus:
We wish to again express our.
appreciation to you and the
gocieties
of the University for whit you have
done for the schools of-the State.
We feel that it is the greatest thing
that ever happened to our school.
Our boys will be proud to make the
trip to the University for the; Final . ' '
This letter is typical of many that
have been received. Sup!.. E. C.
lluflin, of Lenoir, writes that al
though his school lost one 'debate
they are still there, and in the
Union "will be -heard from along
the fighting line." TTiirfnsCon
Salem Journal of Feb. 2211(1 has a
leading editorial on the debating
union, in which it throws a bouquet
"of unusual beauty and fragrance Y
at the Societies for starting such a
movement. -1
The success of the Union is al ready i
large nothing that can he done is
heing left undone in the effort to)
make the Final on March 7th a fit
ting event.
CAROLINA vs. CARLISLE
Tar Heels to Meet Indians in
Indoor Relay Race
Carolina will meet the Carlisle
Indians in a relay race at Washing
ton Saturday night. This has been
definitely decided by the track de
partment. The team will be com
posed of Captain Patterson, Spence,
Whiting; and Hazel Patterson.
An effort was made to get the race
with Virginia, but the plans did not
materialize and the Indians were
taken on instead. The race will be
at the indoor meet in Convention
Hall given by Georgetown Univer
sity. Virginia, Johns Hopkins,
Georgetown, Washington and Lee,
scores of smaller colleges and prep
schools, and possibly some of
the bigger Northern universi
ties will be represented at the
meet. The distance will be
two miles, each man running a half
mile. The Red Skins are worthy
opponents, but the Tar Heel team is
an exceptionally good one. Captain
Patterson and Spence are stars and
can negotiate the half in fast time.
Whiting was in several meets last
spring and has improved' wonder
fully of late. Hazel Patterson is a
brother of Captain Patterson and
seems to have the family ability to
run .
BARNETT REPORTS PROGRESS IN CHINA
The following extract is from a
letter by Eugene E. Barnett ;
"The National Convention of the
Y. M. C. A., which was held in
Peking last month, was an epoch
making event in the history of the
Yi M. C. A., and of the Christian
church in China. There were 440
delegates present from 15 provinces.
Cities as remote as Chengtu sent a
delegation which was nn the road
one month each way. The conven
tion lasted three days and one night.
The flower of the Christian church
of China was there. Christian
students, teachers, business men,
preachers, editors and officials com
posed the gathering.
"One of the striking features of
the convention was the reception
accorded the delegates by
Yuan Shik Kai and the words of
strong endorsement and encourage
ment he spoke in behalf of the Y.
M. C. A. at that time. The Chris
tian church has perhaps never re
ceived such' official recognition and
endorsement before during its his-
tory in China. The Premier, the
Minister of Justice, the Minister of
Commerce and Industry, Vice-Minister
of the Bumiu of Foreign Af
fairs, the President of the National
Assembly and others occupying sim
ilar places of influence and power in
the nation attended the meeting and
took part in the program."

PLANS MADE FOR
A NEW DINING HALL
Committee From Tiustees and
Faculty Selects Site for
THE COST WILL BE $40,000
Will Seat 600 People on Ground Floor
and Capacity May be Eoabled
if University's Growth Demonds
The committee appointed by the
Board of Trustees of the University
to make plans for the hew dining
hall met in Chapel Hill Tuesday,
selected a site for the building, and
made tentative arrangements for
the construction of it. The com
mittee is composed of Josephus
Daniels, Chairman; J. S. Carr and
A M. Scales, from the. trustees; F.
P. Venable and A. H.' Patterson,
'from the faculty.
The site selected is the plot of
ground in the center of a triangle
made by the University Inn, the
Alumni Building and the Episco
pal Church. The dining hall will
will face towards the Gymnasium.
It will be so placed that a drive
way from the kitchen to the street
will not pass over but very little of
the campus.
According to the plans the new
building will be an ideal dining
hall, fitted with the nfost' modern
system of cooking, baking, refrige
rating, and cleaning. It will be
large enough for six hundred peo
ple on the gronnd floor, with three
hundred more in the balcony.and
it will be so constructed that it
may be doubled if the growth of
the University demands it. The
cost will be $ 40,000, the funds
coming from the sum of $ 200,000,
appropiated by the Legislature two
years ago, out of which Caldwell
Hall and the Battle-Vance-Petti -grew
Dormitory have already come.
Walter Stokes, President of the
Web School Club has received a
letter from Seeator W. R. Webb, of
Tennessee accetting an invitation
to pay a visit to his Alma Mater
some time during the spring and
to address the student body. Sen
ator Webb is the head of the well
known Webb School of Bell Buckle
Tennessee. His visit here will be
eagerly looked forward to.

Fine Game, Mason Shooting Five
Field Goals and Sumner Three
The largest crowd that ever atten
ded a basketball game in the State
sawA.tfcM. beat Carolma at the
Raleigh Auditorium Saturday night
by the score of 26 to 18. It was
the first athletif contest, with the
exception of track . meets, in which
the two state institutions had met
in seven years and close to 2,500
people were present.
The game itself was fiercely
fonght. The play was fast and the
crowd was kept continuously in up
roars at brilliant features. The
Farmers showed better form than
they have exhibited before
clearly deserved the victory,
olina guarding was off color.
and
Car
goals A. & M. shot several
which they should never have been
allowed to make, Carolina also
missed many easy shots. In the
first half the basket was fairly bom
barded, but the ball would not drop
in.' ' '
The early stages of the game were
marked by close guarding and care
ful play. Each team seemed to be
watching the other. A. & M. how
ever, had the uppor hand and led
9 to 6 ot the close of the half.
Both teams played more roughly
and took more chances in the sec
ond half. The play was faster.
Many long shots were made which
brought cheers from the crowd.
Mason shot a number of goals, most
of which wen easy. Long and Car-
rington both made long shots and
Snmuer dropped one in with a long
distance backward throw over his
head. A. & M. kept its lead and
the most desperate efforts of the
Carolinians cou'd not overcome it.
Toward the end, with each team
ffghting desperately, the crowd al
most lifted the roof with creeru.
Homewood was substiuted for Red -mon,
but he could not keep Mason
from shooting one more goal, thus
bringing the score to 36 to IX.
Long's foul shooting was above
the average. He made 6 out of 9
goals. Carrington 's playing against
a bigger a d heavier man was
first-rate. ,
