THE Mififit j R 3 write'for UNIV. MAGAZINE SUGGEST FOR THE YEARBOOK OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA l. i VYUII CHAPEL HILL, N. C, FEBRUARY 21, 1919 Number 17 L.nmiMA rnre aucd tAKULllm uulo uiliy THE 1 W IN lAMrANiN FOR MEMORIAL FUND COMPLETE RESULTS HAVE NOT yET BEEN PUBLISHED BUT AVERAGE IS HIGH AT LEAST $20,000 SUBSCRIBED Pledges Run Anywhere from $25 to $500; Individual Average is About $35 Although the results of the canvass on the campus Thursday for the Graham Memorial Fund have not yet hpen fully tabulated, it is certain that a sum well in advance of $20,000 has been pledged by the students. Col-lpce-soirit reached a high level dur ing the mass meeting held in Gerrard Halljust bfore the canvassing began. The meeting proved to be the spark that set off the pent-up enthusiasm of the student body, and its response was most gratifying to those in charge of the campaign. The campaign is still in progress, and it is confidently expected that the students will themselves pledge, if indeed they have not already done so, at least $25,000 to the cause of their Alma Mater. This will be a Mmost powerful challenge to the alum Jlni and to the people of the State, and 11 xl Ul IV -mill II IS IHUUgllL uiab men icojjuhdc vyiii also be a cause of gratification to all the loyal supporters of the institution. The action of the students in show ing that they are really and earnest ly behind he movement will, no doubt, be a most telling factor in obtaining the State-wide support of the cam paign. TVio nlpHtypis thus far ranee from around $25 to $500. The estimated average for the entire student body is about $35 per student, though this avpracra will ha Riihstantiallv increased when those who have not yet pledged , i i i c n r anytnmg are neara irom. many men vthn arc wnrkine' their wav through school have pledged $50 to $150. Quite a number . of $100 pledges were re ceived, fifteen having been received from the Senior class alone, and many pledges also, of a larger denomina tion.

Library Enriched By Acquisition of Many Valuable Collections During the past year the Univer sity Library has been enriched by the addition of several valuable collections and by gifts, loans and purchases to the amount of ' 3,946 volumes. This does not include the Weeks Collection of 10,000 book.;, pamphlets, etc., which was purchased by the University and is now being catalogued. This collec tion is the most important acquisition of the Library in recent years, ac cording to the report of Dr. L. R. Wilson, the Librarian. In 1917 Mr. John Sprunt Hill, ol Durham, made Dossible the general upbuilding of the North Carolina, xol- lection and Miss Mary 'SmMM; of . the Library of the University oi Georgia was secured as librarian and cataloguer. During the year the vol umes were sorted, classified, 244 were purchased and bound and 238 were received as arif ts. The N. M. Cobb, Jr., collection of more than fifty vol umes of rare early North Carolina publications has been loaned and gifts to the collection, of North Caroliniana have been made from the Battle Col lection of books on law, the Gvoome collection of works on Southern Meth odism, and the Bahnson collection cf medical works. The Weeks collection with these and the volumes already in the Librarv will rive the University the most distinctive collection of North Caroliniana in the United States, the University of Wisconsin having the next most important collection. The late Dr. Stephen Weeks had. oeen collecting books relating to iNorth Carolina for over thirty years at the time of his death. He was made Historian of the U. S. Bureau of Education in 1911 and had had wide experience in indexing and edit ing North Carolina documents. His collection contains a bibliography of North Caroliniana with references to many pamphlets, periodicals and pub lications not previously indexed. The volumes comprise books bearing thf autographs of prominent early North Carolinians, the first books published in the State, public documents, Civi! War imprints, biographv and genealo gy of North Carolinians, volumes of peneral history and poetry, novels, sermons and miscellaneous literature. (Continued on Page 4) Original Make-Up Will Feature the Victory Issue of Yackety Yack The editors state that the 1919 an nual promises to be the best annual of years for the following reasons: ' First, The students this year are interested as never before. They are net only interested, but are renders ing a grat help by handing in ma terial. Second, The memorial section, de dicated to Drs. Graham, Stacy, and Battle, is the feature of the book, and will be the finest thing of its kind ever presented on the campus. Third, The victory section, which is devoted to Carolina s part in the great war, will be very ocmplete and of great interest. Fourth, This year's book is one in which every student will have an in terest. No outside material will be used, but all going in the book will come directly from the campus. The editors appeal to all the seniors to hand in their statistics and other material as soon as possibly The earlier all the material is in, the earlier it s possible for the book to appear on the campus in the spring. The photographer has been here for the past week, and has finished mak ing all the pictures for the book. He has made about two hundred and fif ty individual and fifty or more group pictures. Group pictures were made of county clubs, social, honorary, and professional fraternities, professional schools, debating clubs and council, musical clubs, Y. M. C. A., marines and 2nd lieutenants, freshmen and sophomore classes, co-eds, heads of the departments, athletic teams, and societies. Individual pictures were made of seniors and juniors, pharmacy and law classes, publication boards, and dance leaders. The photographer left last Thurs day. A lady from White Studio will be down in a week or ten days to show proofs. She will also take or ( Continued on Page 4) Jntrasociety Freshman Preliminaries are Held Interest in the intra-society Fresh men debates is fully as great this year as ever, as evinced by the fact that eleven men tried out for places on the teams in both the Di and Phi Societies. Preliminaries were held in the Phi and Di halls on Monday and Tuesday nights of this week, when the aspiring members of '22 who have oratorical inclinations, were given ample opportunity to expound their knowledge relative to the subject, Resolved, That the Government Should Permanently Control and Operate the Railroads. The debates are not of an inter-society nature, as each society conducts its debate independent of the other, with the purpose of encouraging new men to go out for debate, and develop into the kinds of speakers which beat Virginia and Hopkins. The two suc cessful teams in the Di hall will de bate each other at a future date, while those of the Phi engage in a similar final debate. Of the five contestants trying out in the Phi for the affirmative side of the question, C. L.. Moore and D. Byrd were successful. On the nega tive side, P. Hettleman and J. B. Mc Leod were the winners over four other contestants, A. M. Scarborough, H. C. Harris, A. J. Eley, and J. L. Schools. The remaining speakers on the affirmative were C. W. Proctor, C. S. Johnston, and R. F. Marshburn. In the Di, only four speakers tried out for the affirmative side of the subject, the successful ones being W.. W. Staley and H. L. Fisher. F. A. Grissett and L. R. Hartsell compose the negative team, having won over J. A. McLean, J. D. Dorsett, J. C. Greenwood, 0. J.' Sharpe, and II. M. Riggins. The other affirmative speak ers were A. H. Sims and T. C. Smith. It will be of interest to learn that at last the matter of the inter-collegiate debate of this year has been settled by the signing of a contract between Carolina, Virginia, and Johns-Hopkins, the same old trio. The subject is related to the Railroad question, but the exact wording of it has not been determined yet. The debate will take place either in the latter part of April or during the first of 'May, and it is at this time that Carolina, with several strong de baters back on the Hill, expects to repeat the occurrence of last year. Capt. W. Tillett, of Charlotte, a graduate of the 1912 class, who re ceived the commission of second lieu tenant at the third Oglethorpe camp and was promoted to the rank of captain overseas, is spending a few days here with friends. Captain Til lett has just recently been returned from overseas and discharged from the service. TAR HEEL HORSEHIDERS TO PLAY TRIANGULAR SERIES WITH VIRGINIA BASEBALL SQUAD IS ALREADY MAKING PREPARATIONS ' FOR SCALPING , GAME PROPOSED WITH CUBANS With excellent baseball weather and the opening cf the season; not a month off, baseball practice started in real earnest Monday, February 17. Altho' practice has been under way for practically a month, this was the first official call for men by Coach Louicey and Captain Powell. The answer was very gratifying as be tween 45 and 50 men are on the dia mond each afternoon. During bad weather practice will be held as us ual, with gym work under Dr. Law son. At present there are nine letter men back: Roberts and Younce, catchers; Powell, captain, and Joyner, pitchers; Bryant, Gordon and Feimster, cover ers of first, second and third sacks, respectively; Hardin, left field; and Boren, utility infield. It will be learned with much pleasure, especial ly by the older men who knew him, that Holmes Herty, star shortstop for the past two seasons, will return next week, having just been discharged from service. Together with Lewis and Swift it will be seen that there is practically a full nine made up of men from last year's squad. Further cause for a bright outlook for a true Carolina nine is found in the men of last year's first year squad. Among these are Fields and Wilson, both southpaws, who showed up un usually well last year, Liipfert on first, Lowe, second and Milton third; Robbins, shortstop, and Shaw in the outfield. But this is only about half of the material that is out. Many of the new men, fresh from high schools and prep schools, are showing up in splen did form. Due to the upset caused by the S. A. T. C. and the inability to support a first year team this year, it has been decided by the Ath letic Council that the men who regis tered here last fall may this spring play on the varsity. The season starts March 20th or 25th. Manager Hodges has arranged an unusually good schedule this spring; especially is this true of the northern trip when some of the lead ing northern Universities will be met. Due to the fact that the spring quar ter does not end till the middle of June the schedule runs two weeks longer this year than in former years, -thereby giving better weather, real baseball weather, and more games. Carolina and Virginia will play their usual classic. The triangular series will open in Greensboro in April, to be followed by a game on the local diamond, the final game be ing played in Charlottesville. Carolina may play the University of Havana this spring sometime in (Continued on Page 4) Navy Girls Program Favorably Received The Navy Girls in their primary appearance before a Carolina student body last Friday night made a per petual welcome for themselves at the University. The program com posed a wide diversilcation of folk songs; ballads, classical music, and the latest light opera successes. This, together with the artistic rendition of their program, assured the success of the "sailorettes" from the very start The accompaniment to the vocal selections was exceptionally good and the whole sexteette worked together with a freedom from stiff ness which was pleasantly surprising. The work of the monologist was very fair and won for her quite a round of applause. The program was divided into two parts the last being devetod to songs and skits that found favor last vear in the casts performances in various camps thruout the country. This is the first of a series of en tertainments to be given on the Hill under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. It is to be hoped that the stan dard of every ensuin gentertainment will be as high as that set by the first. YACKETY YACK BULLETIN WANTED: 1. Snappy snap shots. 2. Ideas and materials for cartoons, sketches, and designs. 3. Short stories and poems. 4. Jokes and skits. First Issue University Magazine Will !oon Appear on the Hill The first issue of the Magazine is now well under way, and promises to be a great success. The editors state that a large num ber of contributions are still needed. There should be several times as much material handed in as is to be printed, in order to get a magazine of the highest standard. The date for hand ing in such contributions closes on midnight of February 26. The edi tors urge everyone between now and then to get the inspiration and "write something." Poems, one-act play3, short stories, etc., are all badly need ed. On account of the short time for handing in material, the editors have decided to make the first issue a general one. No one will be limited as to what he should write. The only requirement is for the material to be something of a general interest. To stimulate interest in the Ma gazine, and also to find out if there are any Shakespeares in the fresh man class, the English department is requiring every freshman to hand in a theme next Friday. All of these themes will be turned over to the edi tors of the Magazine and the best, or sveral best, will be selected for publi cation in the first issue. The upper classmen are the ones now in whom interest should be aroused. These who are taking high er English courses should be reminded that the best material handed in on these courses would probably be suitable for publication in the Maga zine. The editors would be very glad to get this material. All articles, af ter being used, will be returned to the owner if he requests, so no val uable material will be lost. The orange colored Magazine boxes can be found at the library, Alumni Building, Y. M. C. A., Pettigrew No. 1, and at Swain' Hall. The .contribu tions may be dropped in either of these boxes, or given to any of the editors. Prof. Mcintosh Speaks on Law as Profession Professor Mcintosh, of the law school, gave the second talk in Ger rard Hall Wednesday night in a se ries of faculty talks on the selection of a vocation. "Every student must make his own decision as to the direction in which his efforts are to be applied in life," began Professor Mcintosh. "One rule for success applies to every profes sion, namely, digilent application to the business you choose to enter.". Law is the development of cen turies of human experience and changes as the social order changes, he declared. To get the greatest benefits in the operation of the law it is necessary to avoid that zone of under-estimating law as a pro fession as well as to avoid over estimating it by the lawyer. The profession is criticised sometimes by peoples whose views in particular cas es are not upheld by the courts. Cen sure is directed against the profes sion because .certain decisions are not considered just, or because the crit ic has been unsuccessful in a law suit himself. The fact that all lawyers do not attain the higher places in the prac tice of law should not condemn the whole profession. The man makes the lawyer; the lawyer, cannot make the man. It is not fair to judge the whole profession by the black sheep in its rank. The requirement that a lawyer must meet vary with different States. In this State an applicant must have made a study of at least two years of the subject, he must present an acceptable certificate of good charac ter, and must pass a State examina tion on specified subjects. To prove a success in law a man must be clear seeing, clear thinking, and clear speaking. The lawyer be gins his case by drawing his conclu sion and then starts at the beginning to prove the correctness of that con clusion. Short cuts will be found fmiioea anH ernharrassinar when the lawyer is measured in the court room with his opponent. The man of law owes a debt to the court, to the public, to his fellow law yer, to his client, and to himself. Deficiency in any of these duties will cast a shadow on his chance of suc cess "If you expect a soft snap in the pursuit of law, keep away," was the advice of "Professor Mcintosh. "At least two years of rather dry study is necessary to initiate a career. Then comes a lean period of some years while a clientele is being gradually built up. It is during this period that the lawyer s prone to discourage ment and during which many give up. After this period is passed, suffficient (Continued on Page 4) OLD BLUE AND WHITE MARCHES VICTORIOUSLY THROUGH OLD DOMINION BUT LOSES TO HER ANCIENT RIVAL AT CHAR LOTTESVILLE TEAM WORKING IN GREAT FORM Although Handicapped Somewhat by Cuthbertson's Injury; W. and L. Bites the Dust Altho handicapped by the accident to Captain Cuthbertson which neces sitates his absence from the lineup, the Tar Heel quint is wading thru the Virginia opposition with appar ently little difficulty. Of the four' games played on the northern trip as the Tar Heel goes to press Caro lina has won three and lost to her ancient rival, Virginia, Saturday night only after a hard, scrappy fight. From the accounts in the Virginia newspapers, Carolina is showing good team work and remarkable caging ability. Carmichael and Liipfert are performing in their old time brillian cy, to which is largely due the quint's good showing. On Friday night in Greensboro Carolina overwhelmed the Quakers by the score of 56-23. Lynch and Carmi chael featured for Carolina. The Tar Heals went down in de feat before the Old Dominion quint in Charlottesville Saturday night. Cuthbertson sprained his knee in the first half and his absence weakened the team considerably. The game was hard fought thruout, both teams playing well. Carmichael starred for Carolina with five field goals, while Pettaway did stellar work for Vir ginia. ' '. . ' In one of the fastest games seen in Lexington this season the Caro lina quint won over the generals by the very close score of 31-27. It was a nip and tuck fight all the way. Two baskets in the last few minutes of play netted the Tar Heels their vic tory. Carolina led at the end of the first half 20-15, but Washington and Lee came up and took the lead for a short time in the second. Carmichael and Liipfert with five field goal3 each shone for Carolina; Fain, McCain, and Hines played well (Continued on Page 4) Rapid Progress Being Made in Class Teams' Basketball Schedule Under the direction and supervision of Webb Durham and Peter Wunsch class basketball has gotten under full sway. Games have been staged be tween the different classes and cap tains of these teams have been elected. The program began with prelimi nary games between the Seniors and Juniors and Freshmen and Sopho mores on Monday, February 17. These games were followed ' on Tuesday night, by games between the Seniors and Sophomores and between the Jun iors and Freshmen. These games were merelv practice erames and do. not count in the regular class tourna ment. The men were tried out for the different positions on the quint, captains of the various teams elect ed, and the general form of the teams was looked after. The captains elected were Andrews, for the Seniors; Stone, for the Jun iors; Cummings for the Sophomores, and Transou, for the Freshmen. The rules for eligibility for the class teams are: . 1. All men who have played m varsity games or who have made their letters in basketball in other colleges ate not eligible for the class basket ball team. , ' , 2. All first year Law, Medical and Pharmacy students rate as Juniors, and all second year Law, Medical, and Pharmacy men rate as Seniors. The regular schedule of games be pan Thursday night. At that time the line-up was: Seniors vs. Juniors. Freshmen vs. Sophomores. Friday night: Seniors vs. Sophomores. Freshmen vs. Juniors. Saturday: , Seniors vs. Fershmen. Juniors vs. Sophomores. Then this same cycle will be played over again.at some time in the coming week. From the class teams there will be chosen an all class team which will play the varsity scrubs. The teams thus far have shown up well and an exciting contest for the class cham pionship is predicted. There is a great deal of interest shown in the games (Continued on Page 3)
