C, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1917 Price, Five Cents CAROLINA QUINT LOSES TO PRESBYTERIAN FIVE DAVIDSON WINS IN LAST THREE MINUTES OF PLAY BY GOOD COME BACK 3G-31 SCORE AT END OF PLAY Game Characterized by Fast Playing by Both Teams and Effective Passing Visitors Show Good Team Work The fast finish Carolina piled on a well-played gamo last Friday ,' night was of no avail, for hope for viietory in the last minute was nipped in the bud by Davidson's ' speedy response to the challenge of the White and Blue. The game which resulted in a victory for Davidson 36-31 was one of the fastest and cleanest Caro lina fans have seen on the local floor in recent seasons. Both teams had a great deal of pep and fight, and although the ball was in Da . vidson's possession two-thirds of the time, they we f a unable to score "because of the alert guarding by White and Blue defensive men. The game was of particular inter est because Ileece, all-state guard for last season and said to be the best) floor guard in the state, and Ilengerveldt, have been working together so brilliantly thus far this season. Sheppard got six goals on Reece last year at Davidson. This year he caged seven. Hengerveldt was also a point winner, securing seven field goals, thre of them be ing brilliant tries at difficult an gles. Granding started off the game for Carolina. Filling this pivot position has been the most impor "tant problem Coach Peacock has had to face. Perry, who replaced Granding in the second half, play ed well, but lost to Hengerveldt's superior playing and weight. The White and Blue face David son again in Charlotte later in the season, and there is still a good (Continued on Page Six) STUDENTS GO BEFORE SENATE COMMITTEE Fifteen students, representing the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton Lehigh, Georgetown and George Washington Universi ty, recently appeared before the Senate Military Affairs Commit tee. They told the senators that the vast majority of their student bodies favored universal military training. They resented, strongly, the representations of student pa cifists that the college man of America is opposed to universal military training, Many of the students had served at one or more of the Plattsburg training camps and at least one had seen five monihs actual service on the border. Princeton reported that its stu dent body favored universal train ing by a vote of 503 to 92, and, last summer, had 264 men at Plattsburg. Pennsylvania dele gates said 1,450 (of their men, a big majority of the undergradu ates, favored universal military training. Dr. Henry S.

MONIYAMA LEAVES UNIVER SITY TO ENTER POLITICS IN JAPAN Mr. Moniyama, the most popu lar foreign student on the campus, is gone. He finished the required work for an A. M. in economics with the fall examinations and left a week ago today for a short visit in Washington, D. C, and other cities farther east before re turning to his native country, Japan. . In the language of the campus, "Moni" is a politician with a knack of making friends superior to that of his brother American students. He has had a wide ex perience in both his native country and the United States. After grad uated at Wased University, of Tokio, in 1913 ue became editor of the "Daily Shinbun", of the same city. He came to San Fran cisco in 1914 as special represen tative of the Japanese Government at the Panama Exposition. The exposition being over, he set out to find an ideal university in which to continue his education, and af ter traveling over the greater por tion of the United States, he final ly anchored at Carolina. Moniyama is going to make pol itics his profession. His sudden departure was caused by a cable gram from Count Okuma, the leader of the constitutionalist party, which informed him that the Emperior had dissolved the Japanese Diet and that his candi dacy for a seat in that honored body had already been announced. MessrsJata and Shiki who are somewhawt acquainted with Japa nese politics say that he has an ex cellent chance of being elected. STUDENT LIFE AND CONDUCT CHANGED President Graham in his report points out the great change in stu dent life and conduct which has taken place in the last decade. "The romance of college life that clusters about the more or less amiable law-break'ng and irrespon sibility of a decade or two ago," he says, "does not exist any more as a feature of the college, scene. If one wants college local color, he will find little of it in present col lege life. Mainly it is found in alumni reminiscmce and in' col lego fiction of the nineteenth cen tury. This does not mean that college life of today lacks human interest. It has that to a far richer and deeper degree than in (Continued on Page Two) What's to Happen and When Mon, Feb. 12 President Gra ham in Chapel. North Carolina Club in Peabody, 8 to 9 o'clock.

REPORT OF DEANS OF THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS SHOWS DEVELOPMENT AND NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY The following is an extract from the dean's report. "The work of the Freshman Class shows some improvement. The number of men who failed to pass six hours of work is less than in the preceding year, while the number of those who attained high grades is practically the same. Not withstanding this, there has' been no improvement in the percentage of men returning to college to con tinue their academic work. In, the classes of the past five years not more than one out of four of the men who entered the Freshman Class remained till graduation. "So far as I can learn, the prin cipal causes of this loss are, first, financial difficulty ; second, poor health; third, failure to pass col lege work, due either to a lack of preparation or to a lack of appli cation ; and, fourth, the tempta tion of lucrative positions. The fundamental problem of the col lege is not to increase the number of one-year students primarily, hut to grip the interest of all the capa ble men of the first-year class so that they will not be satisfied with a training less thorough than that of a regular college course. "For four year3 the Faculty of this institution, with rare interest, have given their time and atten tion to this problem. In addition to all their other work, they have offered to act as advisers to a group of Freshmen, but the offer has not been met in the spirit in which it was made. I realize that, in many cases, good has been accomplished but the simple fact remains that the student who needs this service most desires it least. Consequent ly, the results have not been entire ly satisfactory. But I believe this work can be strengthened. In stead of a large group of advisers, I recommend that the President designate some instructor as Ad viser for Freshmen, or Assistant Dean. . . "The conduct of the students has been of high order. This is a self-governing body, and I doubt if a group of men could be found any where whose ideals are higher than those which prevail on this campus. Citizens of Chapel Hill who have lived here for many years, tell mo that nothing in their memory equals the conduct and the courtesy of the University hoys during the year for which I submit this re port." REPORT OF DEAN SCHOOL OF APPLIED SCIENCE In his report Dr. A. H. Patter son shows the needs of more effi cient buildings and equipment "The paramount and most glar ing needs of the School are (1) more classrooms to teach in; (2) larger laboratories to work in ; and (3) increased equipment to work with. So much has been said on this point, and the needs are so undeniable, that it would seem un necessary to say more were the sit uation not so desperate, and the work of the departments so inter fered with. Something must be done, and that soon. Every depart- (Continued on Page Three) HONOR GRADES ATTAINED . BY 20 FIRST-YEAR MEN LARGEST- NUMBER ON RECORD EVER AVERAGING "2" IN SAME SEMESTER Twenty members of the fresh man class made an average of "2" or over on their work for the fall term.

OUTSIDE CRITICISM v OF OUR MAGAZINE In the January number of the Red and White a lengthy criticism of the University Magazine ap peared. "So far as we are acquainted with it," savs the Exchange edi tor, "The University of North Carolina Magazint is characterized in its bulk by two things taste in selection and adequacy in execu tion. But, in addition to these, it is generally featured by some con tributions of exce-rional merit and excellence.

The Dialectic Literary Society has caught the social and festive diseaseand last Saturday night the august walls of Di Hall enclosed a scene of brotherl society that is unprecedent in the annals of liter ary and oratorical development at the University. 'For three solid hours the members of that learned body sat or stood, around and swapped stories and smoked the muse-hallowed weed. The old gen tlemen in their gilt frames may have frowned at first, but their looks must have changed to those of envy when joke and sandwich went round and inspired speeches flowed from the lips of a few gift ed souls. The framed gentlemen no doubt knew the punch was nob; spiked, and so they rested secure and watched the scene with inter est. ; V. Every seat, except those that were broken, was filled with ah ex pactant member. The toast-master, no less a person than Mr. Sharp, occupied a conspicuous position on the platform where all could see him. Professor Hamilton was the first speaker. In a short, friendly talk he congratulated the Society on the smoker, and applauded the decision that they should occur fre quently in the future. Sam Ervin recited some choice bits of his de lightful poetry, and Crawford eu logized the weed. Doc Harding, the man who flunks boys in first Physics, gave a short talk and brought C. S. Harris into a dis pute about graveyards, both sides being upheld with learned skill. (Continued on Page Six) VOLUME II; "CURIOUS ANSWERS ON EXAMS." Marvelous facts were revealed during the recent examinations. The Tar Heel presents volume II of Curious Answers, (not all by Freshmen, however.) "The Zodiac" said one embryo genius, "Is the Zoo of the sky where lions, goats and other ani mals go after they are dead." Another maintained that the German eraporer is called the Gey ser. '.' "The salic law is that you must take everything with a grain of salt." - "The spoils system : the place where spoiled things are kept. The Board of Health has largely taken the place of this." "Elizabeth ascended, the throne in 1588 and died in 1560. She did not have a long reign." "The king was not allowed to order taxis without the consent of parliament." "An abstract noun is something you can't see when you are look ing at it." "The brain is a soft bunch cov ered with wrinkles." (Continued on Page Three) t 4 : item 3 li ; v
