COACH LOURCEY SIGNS
TWO YEAR CONTRACT TO
COACH TAR HEEL SQUAD
VARSITY ATHLETICS RETURN IN
PRISTINE GLORY COACH
FOR ALL SPORTS
Carolina students are very much
nleased over -the recent announcement
that Coach William Lourcey, who is
at present with Charleston team of
the South Atlantic League, has sign
ed a contract with the University au
thorities to coach the Carolina base
ball squad for the next two years.
The students, and especially the base
ball squad, have been highly satisfied
with Coach's work during the past
season that has just ended, and when
ho left sentiment was unanimously in
favor of procuring his services for
the coming season.
In every way there is a very bright
outlook for a most successful year in
athletics next year. Carolina holds
the trump card in football, for
Coach "Tommie" Campbell, the "man
that made the team that put the kink
in Virginia," will be back as Head
Coach in athletics, and it is putting
it mild to say that he will have his
old time pep. Another coach will as
sist him m putting tne Jtsiue ana
White machine in fighting shape.
We will also have a basketball
coach and a coach for the cinder path
men. And for the basketballists
Coach Lourcey will hand out the dope.
In student material we will also
on the job. In football Barden,
probably Tennent, and other old men,
will return. Shepherd will be back
on the basketball quint. Old men
will remember that he was Carolina's
All-Southern forward two years
ago. It is rumored that "Rudy"
Barnes and uoieman, as wen as rip-
in, last year's hefty slugger, will all
e back in the "grand old game."
Track prospects, despite the fact that
we will lose Capt. Davis, . are very
good also.
It is very probable that several
other star athletes who were not men
tioned above will turn up on the Hill
when the old bell rings for the first
time next fall, wearing their D. S.
C's. : , ,
Di's Uphold Dignity
of Graveyard Keeper;
Final Meeting This Week
On last Saturday the members of
the Di spent a pleasant hour smoking
the vile weed, partaking of real eats
which are strangers at "Swine," and
undergoing severe gas attacks which
were launched by. embryo-orators and
speakers. The gas waves were turn
ed loose by two expert Bull-shooting
teams composed of B .C. Jones and
Doughton, and Tubby Murdock alias
"Falstaff" and Hoke .Martin. The gas
which they used was very deadly, and
was prepared from a precious chemi
cal. The cause of their little disap
agreement grew out of the question
of abolishing that renowned position
of grave-yard keeper. Murdock and
Martin claimed that the position
"should went," but Jones and Dough
ton said "nay." As a result oftheir
argument, the members of the society
were exposed to a heavy attack of un
known gas. The gas used by Jones,
the God and his ally Doughton with
the auburn hair proved too much for
the artists from Spencer and Char
lotte who were brought to their knees
asking for fresh air. Following the
heavy attack mentioned above, cigar
ettes and eats were distributed to
those who lived through. Dr. J. M.
Booker, who was a guest of the so
ciety, gave a short but interesting
talk. Then Joe Person, the lover of
the gym,' gave a few interesting
readings from John Charles McNeill.
H. B. Simpson gave a sample of what
he called a tragedy. With spirits
high the partakers of the smoker
left the hall which was filled with
the smoke from Chesterfield's and El-Rees-Sos
plus orange peels scattered
over the field of conflict.
The final business meeting of the
society will be held Saturday night,
and every member must be' present.
The Fresh-Soph Inter-Society debate
will be staged the same night.
THE BURDICK PRIZE OFFERED
The Department of English an
raunces that a new annual prize to
be known as "The Burdick Prize in
Journalism" has been established
through the generosity of Mrs. Julia
W. Burdick, of Asheville, in memory
of her son, Edmund, of the Class of
1920, whose brilliant and promising
career was cut short by death in the
middle of his sophomore year. The
value of the prize is twenty dollars
arid will be awarded by a Committee
tv, u De.Partment to the author of
the best piece of writing by an under
graduate student published during the
academic year. The winner of this
pnze will be announced at Commencement.
Committee Meets Here
To Discuss and Formulate
Future Building Program
A joint faculty-trustee committee
was in conference here Tuesday to
discuss the feasibility of developing
550 acres of woodland adjoining the
campus and to formulate a perma
nent building policy for the Univer
sity. The faculty committee on
grounds and buildings has for some
time been in touch with a landscape
gardening architect in the matter of
permanent improvements. One trus
tee committee had been appointed to
determine the location of the frater
nity houses burned last winter when
they will be rebuilt, and another to
consider the development of the Uni
versity property off the campus. The
joint committee on Tuesday examined
maps and the grounds with the view
of gaining ideas which may be pre
sented to the trustees when they meet
in June. :
Only a very general outline of the
future policy of improvement was
agreed upon, no final decision as to
details being formulated. A build
ing program that will take care of
the enlargement of the campus facili
ties for some time to come was adopt
ed. The question of opening up the
woodlands with walks and drives was
looked into and indications that some
progress will be made in this direc
tion within the next few years. The
observations and ideas made at this
conference will be submitted to the
trustees in Jufrie, the approval of
whom must be secured before definite
steps can be taken.
Howell Peacock, Medicine 1918, who
coached the basketball team last year
is on the Hill this week.
Sophomores Invincible;
Lose Not a Game in
the Past Class Series
The class base ball season closed
with the sophomores as champions.
They defeated the seniors twice, jun
iors once, and freshmen twice, losing
not a game.
Lowe was the individual star of the
team. He kept the batters always at
his mercy by means of his terrific
speed and bewildering curves. He al
so led the team at the bat, batting
over the 500 mark.
Large credit is due to Capt. Ruffin
who proved himself, not only a good
player, but wise in the selection of
his men.
The members of the victorious team
were:
James s.s., Jolly 3b, Cummings lb,
Hayes l.f., Bonner r.f., Cockran 2b,
Ruffin c.f., Shamburger c, Lowe p,
substitutes: Liipfert, Elliot, Eyre,
Cooper, Powell, McKimmon.
The chemical Fraternity gave the
members of the Chemical Faculty a
smoker recently. This is an appro
priate time to give the professors
feeds, and the example might well be
followed by other organizations.
Current Issue Studies
in Phil. Out; Review
Has Interesting History
The current issue of Studies in
Philology appeared on the Hill re
cently. This issue is dedicated to the
memory of President Graham. . It is
the second number in the sixteenth
volume of the journal. Studies in
Philology is edited by Dr. Greenlaw
and published quarterly by the Uni
versity in the interests of literature
and scholarship. Its columns are
open to scholars everywhere, and
learned men all over the country con
tribute to its pages. Dr. Greenlaw
and Dr. Hanford have been the most
frequent contributors from the Uni
versity faculty. Studies in Philology
was founded by Dr. Alphonso Smith
in 1906. It was published annually
until 1915, when it was converted in
to a quarterly journal. Since 1915
it has steaily grown in size; the cur
rent issue contains 216 pages. The
journal is sent to the libraries of all
important colleges in this country, al
so to the big colleges of England and
France. There are private subscrib
ers in America, England, Continental
Europe, India, Japan and China.
This gives a hint as to the promi
nent position which Studies in Philo
ogy takes in the world of scholar
ship and literature.
That undisputed authority on all
matters, relating to courses, the Uni
versity Catalog, will be off the press
soon. In the meanwhile, let us not
be impatient about the courses of
next year, as it is necessary to bear
in mind that we had a war recently,
which slightly upset the workings of
established things. The University
will furnish sufficient courses to pro
vide everyone with work next year.

Handy Andy Will be
Here Comm. With His
Musical Jazz Coons
The Commencement Dances this
var will be held on Wednesday and
Thursdav, the 18th and 19th of June,
in the Gymnasium. All signs point
toward a series fully as good as any
dances ever staged around Com
mencement time. Music will be fur
nished by "Old Man Handy" who
showed us last year what the real
"nigger blues" are like. If anybody
can play better shimmies or dreamier
waltzes, we never heard of him. As
for the girls, they will be here in
force. At least seventy-five have al
ready so signified. Mrs. Kluttz will
have 32 girls; MJrs. Patterson, 26;
Mrs. Battle, Mrs. McRae, Mrs.
Daniels and others will have lots
more.
W. C. Feimster. Jr.. is the Chief
Ball Manager. He will be assisted
by Poag, Powell, Hazlehurst. By
num, Spaugh, and Dowd. Dances
will begin Wednesday afternoon and
end Thursday night, intermissions
for meals only. The night dances
will be formal. This is the first
chance that Freshmen have to do the
social stunt. Therefore many Fresh
men will join the great throng of
upper-classmen who stay over for the
dances. No peering through win
dows and over the balcony this time.
Everybody dances! Play on, Handy!
Senior Pageant Has
Been Foregone Due
to Scarcity of Time
On account of the short time before
Commencement, it has been found
necessary to abandon the production
of the pageant, "Carolina Under Two
Flags," which was written by a com
mittee of the senior class and was to
have been presented by the Carolina
Playmakers in the forest theatre as
part of the Commencement program.
It was decided that the pageant was
too large an undertaking to be put
through during the stress of exams
as the production called for over a
hundred actors and the practices
would consume too much time. There
fore the faculty committee which took
up the matter of production decided
that it should not be attempted how
but it will probably be staged some
time next year, and will also be pub
lished. The senior committee has been at
work on the pageant ever since
Junior Week when the class adopted
the plan of giving up the senior stunt
and producing instead at Commence
ment a pageant which would set the
precedent for future classes in the line
of dramatic achievement. The com
pleted work presents a picture of the
service of Carolina in the Civil War
which will be of great interest to
North Carolinians when it is pro
duced. According to the faculty com
mittee who heard it read, it would
have made an excellent production as
the first pageant of. the Carolina
Playmakers, if there had been time
to -present it. The senior committee
has achieved something which, even
if it cannot be produced as originally
planned, will be considered when it
does appear as worth the time and
labor spent in planning and writing
it.
School of Music and a
Competent Instructor is
Now Assured for Next Year
A school of music to be introduced
next fall has been definitely decided
upon. A director of musical organi
zations and activities who will proba
bly give a course or two in musical
appreciation will be secured. The
courses offered will count towards
college credit.
The purpose of the new work is not
so much that a student may learn to
make music himself as it is that he
may understand and appreciate a
musical composition when he hears it.
It is the intention to engage a man
who will do for the musical side of
the campus what Prof. Koch has done
for our dramatics. It is generally
recognized among cultured people
that an educated man should have
some knbwledge of the fundamentals
of music as well as some understand
ing of poetry and literature. This
appreciation side for the many will
be given more emphasis than special
instruction for a few. A man who
is experienced in this kind of work
will be engaged, the decision of whom
it shall be resting with the trustees
upon recommendation.
New Plan in English
Calculated to Raise
Standard of Writing
A new plan will be put into oper
ation next fall by which the standard
of writing will be raised in all de
partments of the University. The
plan, briefly, is as follows: There will
be a new faculty committee consisting
of about six professors from the va
rious departments, with Dr. Foerster
as chairman. At regular intervals
this committee will call for samples
of the written work of the whole Uni
versity. Themes, quizzes, examina
tions, and theses will be turned in.
These papers will be read by the in
structors and assistants in the Eng
lish Department. The results will be
submitted to Dr.' Foerster, and then
to the committee for final decision.
Those men whose work shows notably
deficiency in English Composition will
be required to take a 5 hour course
in English Composition for one term.
This rule will hold regardless of a
mans past record in English. Men
who have done good work in Fresh
man English will be prevented from
falling into the habit of careless writ
ing. Those who write poorly will be
stimulated to improve their work, in
order to avoid the extra course. This
is quite a new plan and it is expected
to secure excellent results.
The playing of the Cone String Or
chestra on the campus at night meets
with the favor of all, particularly of
those who room out in town.
A writer in "The Great Tradition"
has the boldness to assert that the
world's greatest happiness consists
in work. It is feared that the popu
larity of the book will decline as a
result of such contained statements.
S. C. TRUSTEES EXPRESS
THEMSELVES AS HIGHLY
PLEASED WITH UNIVERSITY
"SAYS THE GOV. OF N. C. TO
THE GOV. OF
S. C "
Last Saturday the University had
as its guests the University of South
Carolina Board of Trustes which is
composed of Gov. R. A. Cooper,
Messrs. J. E. Swearington, State
Superintendent of Education; S. A.
Graham, Chairman of the House of
Representatives; J. F. Williams, L.
P. Hollis, C. E. Spencer, August Cohn,
D. R. Coker, P. A. Wilcox, B. A. Ha
good, and Dr. W. T. C. Bates. Gov.
Bickett who accampanied the visitors
over from Raleigh Friday afternoon,
had to return to Raleigh owing to
important business. Gov. Cooper left
early Saturday morning after a brief
inspection of the institution. Presi
dent Carrell . . also accompanied the
part yon its visit to the Hill.
Conferences were held with the fa
culty regarding organization and ad
ministration of authority, and a
meeting was held "with the Student
Council. Visits were made to differ
ent departments, and the entire cam
pus, buildings and plant were in
spected. The visitors were guests of Swain
Hall for dinner. They were given a
hearty welcome by the students who
were led in their yells by "Scrubby"
Rieves. ' '
After a busy day of inspection, ob
servation and consultation, the com
mittee left Saturday night-for their
native state. They seemed highly
pleased with their visit, and were
very enthusiastic about the Univer
sity as a whole.
Many of Dr. Greenlaw's English
4 students are contemplating the
purchase of glasses or magnifying
lenses, believing that these would
enable them to see some of the fine
points which he brings out.
At a meeting of the athletic coun
cil Thursday night, it was decided'
that managers are eligible for the
N. C. minus the "M," in case their
work is regarded as satisfactory.
Phi Closes a Most
Successful Year With
Final Business Meeting
The annual business meeting, which
comes at the end of the Spring term,
was held by the Phi Legislature last
Saturday night. Reports submitted
by the various committees showed
that the Society was healthy in every ,
branch of its work. The legislative
plan, recently adopted by the Society,
was adopted as the plan of operation
for next year without a dissenting
vote. The following men were elect
ed as officers of the Legislature for
the Fall Term: W. H. Andrews,
Speaker; J. H. Kerr, Jr., Speaker
Pro Tempore; W. B. Womble, Read
ing. Clerk; D. L. Grant, Treasurer ;
J. S. Massenburg, Seargent-at-Arms ;
M. L. Stone, Reporting Clerk; T. S.
Kittrell, Chairman Apellate Commit
tee; Phillip Hettlemen, Magazine
Board; J. S. Babb and L. W. Jarman,
Executive Committee; J. H. Kerr, Jr.,
D. L. Grant, and J. B. McLeod, Ways
and Means Committee
After the debate on Saturday night,
May 31st, there will be a smoker at
9:30 in the Society Hall to which all
men from Eastern Carolina, and all
others who may desire to come, will
be invited. The smoker will be a
farewell meeting of the students for
the year. Although the committee
on arrangements has not yet com
pletely perfected the program it can
announce with certainty that at least
the big four Eats, Smokes, Speak
ers, and A Good Time, will be there.
The Society closes one of the most
successful years of its history, The
entire work this year has been mark
ed by an increased interest on the
part of the members in the work of
the Society, and broad ideas have been
transfused into the plan of organiza
tion. The Society was one of two or
three organizations which lived dur
ing the S. A. T. C. days, and kept
the old Carolina Spirit alive on the
Campus. With a broader conception
of the relationship existing1 between
the student body and the societies,
the Phi next Fall will inaugurate an
even more broader policy m regard
to this relationship.
Powell, Joyner, Wilson, Bryant,
Herty. C. H.. Milton, Feimster, Saun
ders, Lewis and Hodges have been
awarded N. C.s by the athletic coun-.
cil for their work in baseball. The
names of a few other men were held
up because of material not yet check
ed in. The names of these men will
be announced at a later date.
A Chapel notice states that a cor
net has been lost. The suggestion
that he finder keep it until June 18
meets with unanimous approval.
