C. A. There will be a Lyceum number each month, four having already been ar ranged, including an entertainment by G. C. W. , It is planned to fix up the third floor of the building as a meeting place for visiting athletic teams. Mr. Woollen has realized the need of a suite of rooms, in which to welcome visitors, and is co-operating with the Secretary of the Y. Every effort is being made to make the Y.'s various activities, its study groups, class athletics, religious meetings, dance hall, etc., minister to the life on the campus. In short, the Y. M. C. A. will continue to develop the idea that religion is life. The whole student body is consid ered a member of the organization, and insofar as he can help -in work on the campus, he is a cabinet mem ber. . The Cabinet for next year has been chosen, the following men being the executive chairmen of the eleven departments: Bible Study, W. H. An drews; Meetings. H. G. West: Com munity, S. H. Willis; Financial. R. B. wynn; Rural, Chas. Smith; Negro, Chas. Phillips; Extension, D. L. Grant; Social, Boyd Harden; Ath letics, Pat Cummings; Industrial, Roy Kellum; Boys'. Work, Joe Person. Bailey Liipfert and LeGette Blythe are at work editing the Freshman Handbook cr as it is lovingly called. Inn T, -.1 T?i-i t 1 i P jiciwiuui jiioie. jonn &naw ana H. Abernathy are the business managers of the Bible and they prom ise a handsome, leather bound volume with gilt edges and embossed with rhe Carolina seal. Enough copies will e published in order that not only first year men but every man in college can get one. Any criticism or sj?ffestions will be appreciated by the Seniors Hold Last Smoker of the Year Smath! went another tradition when the Senior Class met under - "Old Davie" for it's last monthly smoker a free one, no pay as you enter, no collection. The campus around "Old Davie" and Davie, Jr., was made a scene of beauty by the small addition that mere man can make to nature. The state flag was suspended in mid air and to the four corners Japa nese lanterns were strung. 'Twas under such delightful surroundings tfce dignitaries met. The meeting was strictly informal, all climbed down off their dignity and did the Indian act as if around a camp fire. President Hodges in a few words told the seniors that this was to be simply a get-together and not a formal smoker, "there will be speeches, although several will favor us with readings," Professor George McKie in a few introductory words defined Humor as found in the old reliable, Webster, and the humor of the Nations using Mark Twain to illustrate what is commonly called American Wit. He then in his charac teristic way recited the Dutchman's version of "How My Dog Lost His Tail." Jim Capps, class of '17, next gave two readings from Whittier, the last one "That Old Sweetheart of Mine," being particuliarly well re ceived. Professor Frederick H. Koch due to the lack of light was unable to give the Suffragette scene from "The Winter's Tale," but told of some of his experiences at Harvard, and recited a poem written by a College chum, one Miller. This poem "Vi sions" was very fitting for the last smoker of the class, as its theme was Visions of Youth in school as viewed later by the student as a man of the world. The class next discussed business problems such as invitations, the class masque to be given during commence ment, the farewell banquet, the class memorial, and commencement as a whole. During the evening fruits of the season were offered to the gods the lords of the campus for a few remaining weeks. With cheers for Profs., Alma Mater, and the moon the seniors adjourned declaiming this the best smoker yet. Fresh-Soph Finals in Two Halls, Sat. , May 31 That great conflict between the freshmen and sophomore debaters will occur on Saturday night, May 31. This is one of the hottest debates of the year, and one which creates more interest than any other inter-society debate. The query is: "Resolved, That the Nation Should Adopt Compulsory Ar bitration of Industrial Disputes, Where the Greatest Part of the Busi ness is Interstate Commerce." The sophomores have the affirmative side, while the negative is upheld by the freshmen. In the preliminaries the following men were chosen to repre sent the two societies: From the Di, Berryhill and Penny of the sopho more class, and Staley and Kaiser of the freshman. The Phi is represent ed by Grant and Kerr from the sopho more class, and Hettleman and Byrd from the freshman class. The affirmative teams remain on their own floors and debate the visit ing negative teams. Historical Masque is Ambitious Program Now of the Senior Class The senior class and the Carolina Playmakers have planned for the production of an historical masque of the University , to be given during Commencement week. It will be a feature of Commencement this year to be financed by the University and presented without admission. It will certainly add to the interest and en tertainment of all visitors and stu dents who stay over. It is for the whole student body to enjoy and it is up to them to back it up so that it may be a success. About fifty men will be needed to take part in the masque. Only a few of these will have speaking parts but all must be present promptly at re hearsals in order that no time may be wasted. It will be necessary to re hearse for two weeks before the per formance and each rehearsal will take about an hour and a half. This is a busy time but if each actor gives a period in the afternoon to the pro duction and arranges to come every day promptly it will be possible to give a fine production without laying a burden on any individual. This production will be a test of our community spirit and it is up to every senior and every student who can stay over to back it up to the end. It will not mean much work but it will mean that every man in it will have to be responsible for doing his part. PLAYMAKERS PRESENT PLAYS NEXT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY PERFORMERS AT HIGH SCHOOL OFFERING OF TWO NEW FOLK PLAYS The Carolina Playmakers, under the direction of Professor Koch, will present a program of two original folk plays on the evenings of Friday and Saturday, May 30 and 31. The performance will be staged in The Play-House, the Chapel Hill School auditorium, and will begin at 8:30 promptly. The program consists of a comedy of negro life, "The Fighting Cor poral" by Miss Louisa Reid and a tragedy of the tenant farmer, "Peggy" written by Harold William son. Both authors take leading arts in their plays. The program is well balanced, presenting two new phases of North Carolina life in comedy and tragedy. "The Fighting Corporal" has a large cast and presents a lively pic ture of negro comedy. There is action and laughter from start to finish, the reception of a negro corporal home from France and the outcome of his romance with a belle of the town gives a fine opportunity for comic acting. The actors, all representing negroes, do justice to it with plenty ot action. "Peggy" is a more serious play, treating of a problem of farm life. The situation is intensely dramatic, treated simply in a one-act play. The second production of The Car olina Plavmaers will be fully up to 1 the standard set by the first program, it is said, and marKs a real contri bution to the interpretation of the folk life of the state. It will also be a real entertainment, one which no one on the Hill can afford to miss. Tickets are on sale at Eubanks' Drug Store. All seats reserved at $.50. Uncoached Track Team Made Excellent Record Despite the fact that Carolina lost the meet to V. P. I. last Saturday this season has been a very successful one, considering the handicap and the lack of a regular coach. Under the care- ! ful surveillance of Bruce Webb and Captain Davis, the team of rookies and a few old men was molded into a team that won the State meet with a margin of 24 points to spare, and ran V. P. I. a race for victory at the latter's home. Next year Carolina will be better prepared to train the warriors of the cinder path. If a real coach is turn ed on these men and if the men that are here this year will be on the Hill next, Carolina will be one of the hottest contestants in the South At lantic Meet. One of the meets which was to have been a Carolina victory was eternally postponed by Jupiter Pluvius. The State meet the Blue and White sprin ters easily won with 58 points. But the Virginia Tech athletes won by the score of 71 to 55. In both meets Carolina starred in field work. Of the Carolina men who did ex ceptionally good work, Davis and Smith were the most prominent. Trailing closely after these were Nichols, the javelin artist, Corpening, the twirler of the discus, Frank ' Herty, the hurdle jumping sprinter, ' Norfleet, the high jumper, and Spen cer, the artist ot the pole vault, in these .contests some of the abovfl mentioned men equalled and almost beat state records. Carolina sprinters, leapers, and strong armed athletes have shown their mettle. All left for us is to praise and thank them. RED OAK VANQUISHES LADS FROM TWIN CITY CONTEST AT DOUBT IN ALL STAGES FIRST TIME EAST WON IN YEARS For the first time in many years the baseball team representing the east, triumphed over the baseball team from the west. The game was a thriller throughout, being marred only by downpours of rain which burst forth at various intervals, caus ing the game to be discontinued sev eral times. When Red Oak, representing the east, won from Winston last Satur day, champions of the west, they won the State Baseball Championship for 1919, not having lost a game during the entire season. Winston started off strong in the first inning, scoring their first run. Red Oak was not able to score until the third, when they made up for all lost time, scoring three marks dur ing that period. They scored again in the fourth, driving Crute from the mound, Crute being relieved by Simp son, who held them scoreless during (Continued on Page 4) R. O. T. C. is Possible Training School Paris Island Battalion, 'tenshun! No, the R. O. T. C. Unit has not been given up as a bad job. Owing to the delay in secur ing enough men to be awarded one of the Reserve Officers' Training units, the officials have been work ing under a great handicap in get ting the organization perfected. Word has been received by the university officials from the War Department stating that Maj. Boyer who has been stationed at Camp Devens, Massachu setts would arrive at an early date to take charge of all plans toward the organization of the military unit. Only a few weeks of the present year remain, and it will therefore be possible only to get the organiza tion worked out in order to begin training early next fall. In regard to men going to summer camps, no information can be given out until Maj Bayer arrives to take charge of matters. There will be a 28 day course in Small Arms Firing given at Paris Island which is the location of the Marine training camp during the sum mer. The instruction will be given under competent officers who are skilled in the art of manipulating fire arms. The expense of taking the course are, one dollar per diem for subsistence, and transportation to and from the camp. Clothing and equipment will be furnished to all who attend this camp. Carolina has an allotted quota of 20 men, and any, who are intersted in the proposition can gain additional information by seeing Acting President Chase. According to a letter received by Dr. Chase, the opportunity of attend ing a summer camp tor rifle training and drill at Paris Island, S. C, will be given to twenty students from this school. Those attending will be re quired to pay their own transporta tion fares and a dollar per day for subsistence, but clothes and equip ment will be furnished free of charge. All those who are interest ed in going to Paris Island should see Dr. Chase for further particu lars as soon as possible. Frank Herty has been chosen cap tain of track for next year. Dr. Graham's Essays Printed; Are Being Sold Rapidly The addresses and essays of the late E. K. Graam that have been col lected into a memorial volume entitl ed "Education and Citizenship and Other Papers," have just come from the hands of the printer, G. P. Put nam Sons. Attractively bound and nrinted, the external appearances of the book are in keeping with its splendid contents of 275 pages. The introduction was contributed by Dr. Edwin A. Alderman, President of the University of Virginia. The first part of the volume is entitled "Edu cation and Democracy." The second part deals with "Culture and Citizen ship." Of especial interest to col lege students and most of all to stu dents of this institution are the chap ters of the third section under the caption of "Student and College Re lations." The concluding chapters, called "Occasional Papers," deal with miscellaneous subjects so skillfully handled by the writer. Nothing short (Continued on page 4) Gripping Novel of Modern Labor Conditions Being Written by Local Authors There is a rumor floating around the campus that a group of the Uni versity's ablest writers are engaged in writing in collaboration a great problem novel. This novel will tell a gripping story of modern industrial life. Of course the contents are shrouded in deepest secrecy, but we suspect that the world of fiction read ers will set up and take notice when the novel comes out. Doubtless we shall read of titanic struggle between Capital and Labor, Bolshevism and Democracy opposing each other, and the other phenomena of present day life. Through it all will run a story of such absorbing human interest that we will sigh regretfully as we close the book. It's a safe bet that this novel will not be a conventional story on a hackneyed subject. The University Orchestra played a short program in Chapel Friday morning, May 16th. The crowd was well pleased with the selections, most of which were of the peppy variety that appeals to everybody. The pro gram included "Concert March" by Hollaender, Russian Kossak Dance by Emil Ascher, "Boruch Habro" from the opera Gabriel by Louis Friedsell, and for an encore the "136th Field Artillery March." Director Lucas promises a fine program to accom pany the next performance by the Carolina Playmakers. CAROLINA FIGHTS GAMELY BUT LOSES TO YA. TECHS Cap't Davis is Individual Star Con tributing 20 Points to Our Cause Carolina lost to V.P.I. last Satur day in a hard and closely fought track meet. As a result of two days rain the track was extremely muddy, and in places covered with water. The teams were determined to meet, however, even if they should be com pelled to do so in the rain. The rain stopped about an hour before the meet, the track was drained as much as possibly, and the "muddy work" was begun. The Tech's team showed up well on the track, but was weak in the field events. Carolina's difficulty was on the starts. The Tech starter had trained his men in an entirely differ ent system from that which are Caro lina men had been accustomed. This, the men thought, greatly handi capped them. Captain Davis of Carolina was clearly the star of the meet, captur ing 20 points for his team. The or der of events were as follows: 100 yd. dash: Pierce (Tech) first, McClure (Tech) second, F. Herty (Car.) third, time 10 sec. Shot: Davis (Car) first, Nichols (Car) second, Shaner (Tech) third, distance 38 ft., 5 in. 220 yd. dash: McClure (Tech) first, Pierce (Tech) second, H. Herty (Car) third, time 23 35 sec. Mile run: Linkous (Tech) first, Whorton (Tech) second, Nims (Car) third, time 4 min. 59 sec. Javelin: Nichols (Car) first, Davis (Car) second, Hodges (Tech) third, distance 136 ft. 11 in. 880 yd. run: Watkins (Tech) first, Whorton (Tech) second, Ranson (Car) third, time 2 min., 7 sec. Broad jump: Norfleet (Car) first, McClure (Tech) second, Murchison (Car) third, distance 19 ft., 7 in. 220 low hurdles: F. Herty (Car) first, Carr (Tech) second, Roden (Tech) third, time 26 sec. High jump: Davis (Car) first, Nor fleet of Carolina and Crisp of Tech tied for second place, distance 5 ft., 4, inches. 120 high hurdles: O'Neal (Tech) first, Pierce (Tech) second, H. Herty (Car) third, time 17 3-5 sec. Discus: Davis (Car) first, McCann (Tech) second, Hardwic (Tech) third, distance 98 ft., 4 in. 440 yd. dash: Will (Tech) first, McClure (Tech) second, Murchison (Car) third, time 54 sec. Pole vault: Spencer (Car) first, Leawell of Tech and Davis of Caro lina tied for second place, distance 9 ft., 8 in. 2 mile run: Linkous (Tech) first, York (Car) second, Whorton (Tech) third, time 10 min., 33 sec.
