KEMP P. BATTLE IS SIGNALLY HONORED WAS A FAST BUT ROUGH GAME Excellent Team Work , of Caro lina Contributes Largely to Victory In a fast and snappy game on Tues day evening the Carolina basketball quint defeated the Guilford aggrega tion by a score of 47 to 23. This was the second game in the Carolina schedule, the University varsity hav ing lost to the Durham Y. M. C. A. on Thursday night, the 22nd. Although the Guilford players put up a good fight, they were not able to smother the shots of the Carolina forwards and from the first Caro lina took the lead and held it. The team work of. Guilford was fairly good. They showed great skill in working the ball down the field; but the visitors' shooting was ragged and this accounts in a large measure for the comparatively low score o the visiting quint. Although there was good material in all of the "Quaker" players, Jonas, the captain, and Frazier, right forward, were by far the stars of the game for the visiting aggregation. Rice, right guard in the second half, deserves mention for his good work. Carolina's team work which has im proved inestimably was especially good and the shooting showed great improvement over the last game, ine Carolina guards effectually blocked the opposing forwards' attempts at goal, while the Tar Heel forwards made their chances count. All of the Carolina quint played a good game, and judging from the showing last night, the prospects are bright for a successful season. For Carolina Griffith lead with 7 field goals. Lynch pocketed 6 field and three foul goals. Cuthbertson caged four and Brown four. Jonas led the Guilford quint with seven bas kets to his credit. The line-up was: Carolina Brown R. F, Lynch L. F Griffith C Cuthbertson (Capt.) -;. R. G Morris Guilford Frazier Jonas (Capt.) Taylor Anderson, Rice " Stafford L. G. Substitutes: Rice for Anderson. Referee: Woodall, of Charlotte. J. Y. Jordan, Jr., '19, is vice-consul at the port of Brest, France. In a . . . " . 1 T-v 1 rtrt il letter dated uecemDer zo, recenuy re ceived on the Hill, he states he gave a Christmas dinner to Orpheus Wright and Dwight Brantley and that he had met up with the famous Bruce Car roway in Paris three weeks before. Phi Defers Decision Regarding Co-ed Editor The judges for the Saturday night debate in the Phi Society, decided that the affirmative won their contention in regard as to whether the Allies should adopt the American plan for a league of nations. Mr. Jarman was judged best speaker and Mr. Ashby , deserved honorable mention. A motion to the effect that the So ciety go on record as favoring the proposition of giving the co-eds an editor on the Yackety Yack board was presented to the Society, but ac cording to constitutional regulation action on the motion was deferred until the next meeting. The Friday night meetings of the Society here tofore have not been, up to the de sired standard, but commencing with last Friday night these meetings have assumed a new aspect marked by an increased interest on the part of the participants. Mr. W. P. An derson was judged the best orator of the evening. On Saturday night, February 1st, Dr. D. D. Carroll will be initiated in to the Society as an honorary mem ber. The Society desires the atten dance of as many old and new mem bers as possible at this meeting. There will also be an election on the same night of an Assistant Editor for the Yckety Yack board. The Carolina Peace Conference is weathering its first storm. Argu ments are presented by the delegates in real earnest and the morning pro grams are extremely interesting With Pilot Greenlaw -at the helm and the steering committee trimming the sails, the Peace ship should sail to the harbor of Universal Peace and dockf at the League of Nations. TREATMENT OF KIDNEY USED IN THE FRENCH HOSPITALS The variety of the problems of modern war-making, together with the urgency of its call for all of a nation's abilities, is strikingly illus trated by the fact that the results of experiments conducted in a Chapel Hill laboratory have found their way into base-hospitals in France. Without any thought of war in fact, before the war opened Dr. W. deB. McNider, Kenan Professor of Pharmacology, in the Medical School of the State University, began his now widely recognized work on the kidney. His results have already be come a part of the latest method of treating the kidney the method, for instance, used in such an institution as the Johns Hopkins Hospital. On ly one of Dr. McNider's results con cern us here. In the course of his researches he discovered a means of protecting the kidney against the acute inflammation known as neph ritis. Now, it happens that war conditions breed an unusually large number of nephritis cases among the troops in active service. In the same account of this condition at the front is re corded the mitigation of the evil through the work of a modest doctor in a little town on a branch line railroad three thousand miles away. For, according to an appreciative edi-, torial on Dr. McNider's work, in a recent issue of the journal of the American Medical Association, two army surgeons, Messrs. Keith and Thompson, reported to the British Medical Research Committee from a base hospital in France that a treat ment of nephritis based on McNider's work has been given an extensive trial. In one group of cases this treatment completely re-established the kidney's functions; in the other group the more severe cases it -is of distinct service in improving then. It probably took more inventions and discoveries than dollars to whip the Hun. The above is only another instance of the variety of this state's contributions to the great struggle now closing. J. M. Booker. V Of the college men registered at the Naval "Y" in Norfolk last fall, it is interesting to note that the Uni versity led in the number of men signing up, according to a Norfolk paper. Cornell came second. The roster included .college students from all parts of the country. Carolina Aviator Makes Unusually Daring Flight The following is clipped from press dispatches of December 5th: One of the most unusual and dar ing feats ever seen in St. Louis was accomplished last Saturday when all four bridges across the Mississippi river were threaded by an army train ing plane from Scott Field. The air plane piloted by Lieut. R. A. Wellons, who was accompanied by Lieut. R. H. Wheat, was seen flying toward the Mississippi early in the afternoon at a high altitude. When just over the river the pilot dived, leveling off just above the surface of the water, and shot through one of the spans of the Free Bridge. Climbing his machine he flew up the river and over ,Eads Bridge, under the Merchants Bridge further up, continuing up the river skimming just above the vtfater he dived under the McKinley Bridge and headed east back to the field. A few years ago Lincoln Beachey flew under the Eads Bridge, gaining for himself the reputation of being the only flier to accomplish this, but for the first time in the history of St. Louis all four bridges have been threaded, the feat being a wonderful display of skill and daring. Lieutenant Wellons is a member of the class of 1916. Hugh McAuley, who- left the Hill last Spring to enter the Navy at New port News, and who since that time has been in the Company Comman ders' School located there, has re turned to take up his work on the Hill. According to messages received here, former coach Thomas J. Camp bell is now a major. He is now in France but is expecting to return at any time. Upon his return he will resume his duties as head coach of athletics. Dr. Louis R. Wilson, director of the Bureau of Extension of the Univer sity and University librarian, has just been appointed State representative for the division of educational exten sion of the bureau of education at Washington, D. C. TO BE REAL "CAROLINA BOOK" Everyone Urged to Contribute With Suggestions, Sketches, or , Any Material The plans for ' the 1919 Yackety Yack, which until recently had been only tentative . and had not assumed a very definite shape, are beginning to take form, and according to indi cations, the '19 annual will eclipse any of recent years, both in attractive ness and material. The feature of the annual this spring will be a memorial to Presi dent Graham and Dean Stacy. The purpose of this memorial will be to eulogize the memory of these two men who have been such vital and transcending forces in the life of the campus, of the State, and of the coun try at large, and to fittingly enu merate their service to the cause they held so closely at heart. It is the ambition of the editors to make the book a democratic achievement, one that will be rep resentative of the campus life of the University, and of the State. To that end the students themselves are urged to hand in material, consisting of short sketches, snappy jokes, funny drawings, and snapshot views of the .campus or appropriate scenes in the State, or any material that would help in getting out a first class an nual. The fact is to be stressed this year that the Yackety Yack will be our annual, composed of our thoughts and ideas, and made up of the indi vidual's work, and not altogether a production of the board. It will be a "Carolina book, composed of Caro lina thought, and produced by Caro lina effort." (Continued on Page 4) Faculty Authors. Write Supplementary Works Dr. Greenlaw has recently published a new book called "Builders of De niocracy", which is designed for a supplementary text for use in History andEnglish classes or as an indepen dent text. Builders of Democracy is composed of selections from tthe field of English and American literature connected by an original explanatory text. It is divided into three parts. Part I brings out the difference be tween patriotic emotion and co-opera tive service. Part II gives a series of twelve pictures of dramatic move ments in the history of English and American democracy. These consti tute a kind of epic story of democracy. Part III shows in song; and story the spirit that unites and animates the free people of the world in the ever recurring struggle against tyranny. Throughout the whole book runs the idea that liberty is not only a heri tage to be prized, but also something to be won by each generation as that generation sees it. The book has met with a great success. Favorable criti cisms have appeared in many papers; and Dr. Greenlaw has received hun- dreds of letters from all over the country praising the book. Dr. Greenlaw and Dr. Hanford have published together a large volume en titled "The Great Tradition," a Book of Selections from English and Ameri can Prose and Poetry, Illustrating the National Ideals of Freedom, Faith and Conduct. A great mass of splendid material is here embodied in a sys tematic and useful form. The editors have recognized the need of teaching literature for its human and intrin sic value as well as providing in tellectual discipline by adhering to a logically connected program of ideas. This book will be used as a text book in Sophomore English. The increasing popularity of the "Y" movies is shown by the increasing interest manifested by the student body in that special feature of the "Y" program for this winter. This amusement is rapidly bringing about a broader congeniality among the students and a better understanding of each other. Hence a greater num ber of friendships are being formed over the campus. Good pictures, a good orchestra, spirited songs; and one hours is spent pleasantly and profitably for every one. Gayly lighted in red the new Y. M. C. A. 'social room" is IhtrseeTle- of much pleasure and delight. Here Fresh and Soph, Junior, and Senior link arms, and sway to the tune of "Smiles," et als. This room is for the amusement of the students of the University, and all are cordially in vited to share in its use. CLUB MEETINGS WILL BE HELD EVERY TWO WEEKS IS PLAN The N. C. Club was launched upon the fifth year of its career last Mon day night in the Library. The meet ing was well attended, and the in terest manifested there gives promise of good work this spring. The meeting was called to order by President A. M. Coates at 7 o'clock. The subject for discussion was, "The Cityward Drift of Country Population in North Carolina."' Dr. E. C. Bran son, of the Department of Rural Economics and Sociology, opened the discussion with a paper covering the general situation existent in North Carolina. Following Dr. Branson, Messrs. E. S. Merritt and S. H. Wil lis debated the query, as to whether the country population of North Caro lina is excessively large. After a brief general discussion, the Club ad journed promptly at 8 o'clock. The plan for the Club's activity for the coming spring was presented. The meetings will be held fortnightly on Monday nights in the Library. The meetings will last exactly one hour. The general topic to be treated is "North Carolina, Urban and Indus trial.". There will be nine more meet ings of the Club, at which questions of .vital interest to North Carolinians will be taken up. The following is a list of the topics for the coming meetings: "Town and Country Inter dependencies," "Our Rapidly Expand ing Industrial Life," "Forms of City Government in North Carolina," "City Finance," "Municipal Owner ship of Public Utilities," "Our Cham bers of Commerce," "Health Depart ments, Public Hospitals, and Public Health Nurses in Carolina Cities,". "Recreation and Amusements in Caro lina Towns," and "Vocational Edu cation in Our Town and Factory Cen ters." These are certainly questions vitally relating to North. Carolina af fairs, and . every student is cordially invited to take an active part in a discussion oi them. The unusually large' attendance at Vio 'Wnvtli Pnrnlinn ninh mpptino- in u0 T.ihrarv lact Mnnrlav -nio-Vit. is evidence of the keen interest North Carolina men are beginning to take in "the vital problems of North Caro lina urban and industrial." We are pleased to state that Dr. Branson and the Executive Committee are satisfied that this year's work is going to be the most profitable and successful ever. Bible Study Groups Meet and Organize Last Sunday the Bible Study Groups held their first session in the various dormitories about the campus. Each dormitory has its own group. These groups are to meet each Sunday at 12:15 o'clock. The plan for the com ing weeks is to discuss the vital prac tical problems of ordinary life rather than to hold theological discussions. It is believed that such a theme will appeal to a large number of men. Bosworth's "Bbout Jesus is to be used as a general guide book. This book is given to all the men entering the study. The number of men present last Sunday (about three hundred), indicates the interest being taken in the course. The same spirit of freedom that characterizes every other grouping on the campus is no less present in the Bible Study Class. A man is free to choose his own leader, and to ex press himself in the group. The lea der is not a lecturer, but merely guides the discussion. Each man is as vital to the group as the leader him self. Albert M. Coates, '18, who gradu ated at the Central Officers' Training School, Camp Gordon, Ga., on Novem ber 30, has been appointed executive secretary of the Graham Memorial Fund and will have charge of the campaign to erect a Student Activi ties Building on the campus. He also has charge of the work of reorganiz ing college activities and is again president of the North Carolina Club. E. J. Holbrook is expected back in a short time. He was called home about two weeks ago on account of the serious illness of his mother. Dr. Wagstaff and Pierson, who have been, confined to their homes for two weeks suffering from attacks of influ enza, are nov: sufficiently recovered to meet their classes again. "The aim of an honest man's life is not the happiness which serves on ly himself, but the virtue which is useful to others." HAS LIYED VERY EVENTFUL LIFE One of the Pioneers Who Blazed the Way for a Greater University Dr. Kemp P. Battle, the "Grand Old Man" of the University, celebrated his eighty-seventh birthday on Jan uary 19. At this time it seems time ly to give a brief review of the life and achievements of this well known figure for the edification of those men and especially of the new men who are not acquainted with his biography. The Battle family ha3 been known in North Carolina for its stern in tegrity, strength and character since early colonial times. John Battle, their earliest known ancestor in America, settled as a farmer on the Pasquotank river in 1663. His son moved to Nansemond County, Vir ginia, where, on January 9, 1723, Eli sha Battle, the progenitor of the family in North Carolina, was born. Dr. Battle's paternal grandfather, Joel Battle, was one of the earliest students of the University, having matriculated in 1789. Kemp Plummer Battle was born on a farm in Franklin County, North Carolina, December 19, 1831. Most of his youth was spent in the village of Louisburg. Until he was eight years of age he attended the - Louisburg Femal Academy. In 1843 Judge Bat tle moved to Chapel Hill for the purr pose of educating his sons. At the age of thirteen he entered the Uni versity and graduated in 1849,' hav ing with two others obtained first distinction at j every examination in all his studies. ' Doctor Battle acted as tutor of Latin for one session suc ceeding his graduation, after which he was selected as tutor of mathematics, which position he held for four years. While tutor at the University ho re ceived his master's degree and com pleted the law course. He resigned his position as tutor and entered upon the practice of law in "Raleigh in 1854, where he practiced with success until he accepted the presidency of the University in 1854. On the organization of the Bank of North Carolina in 1857, Mr. Battle was selected one of the directors. He was the president of the Chatham Railroad Company, 1861-66; president of the State Agricultural Society, 1867-70, which he had revived after the Civil War; and president of the North Carolina Life Insurance Com pany, 1870-76. Although he stood for the Union in the stirring times pre ceding the war, and was president of the Union Club of Wake County, Mr. Battle cast his fortune with his State when Lincoln called for men to sub due the South, became a member of the Convention of 1861, and signed the ordinance of secession. (Continued on Page 4) New Officers Assume Duties in Di Society The regular meeting of the Di So ciety, which was held last Saturday evening was both interesting and important. As it was the date for the installation of new officers, the new officials assumed their duties. J. J. Rhyne, the retiring president, turned over the seat of chief execu tive to W. C. Eaton, the president elect. Following his inauguration, Mr. Eaton delivered his inaugural address, which was presented in a masterful manner. He stated his proposed policy for his term of of fice, and asked the loyal support of every member in making the society bigger and better. The new officers who assumed their duties Saturday night are: President, W. C. Eaton; Vice-President, Joe Ervin; Secretary, W. R. Berryhill; First Censor Morum, C. T. Leonard; Second Censor Morum, II. G. Kin- caid; First Corrector, H. S. Everett; Second Corrector, C. R. Monroe. Following the installation of offi cers, a lively debate was held on the question of compulsory military training in the colleges of this coun try. According to the decision of the judges, such a policy should be adopted. The men making the most forceful speeches were T. J. Brawley and C. K. Joyner, who were members of the victorious affirmative. O. B. Welch cave, an interesting talk on the negro as he is below and above the Mason and Dixon line. At the conclusion of the program, a very important matter was presented to the society. Should the co-eds be giv en a representation on the board of (Continued from Page 4)
