Elaborate plans are being made for
the inauguration on April 28 of Harry
Woodburn Chase as the eighth presi
dent of the University of North
Carolina. This day promises to be
one of the most notable in the
history of the institution. Chapel
Hill will be thronged with a large
number of alumni, college presidents,
representatives of learned societies
and educators from all sections of
the country. Unusual efforts are
being made to provide for the enter
tainment of the many visitors.
Over eighty colleges, among which
are numbered nearly all' the large
institutions of the country, have
already designated their intention of
sending delegates, most of whom
will be from their respective facul
ties. Thirty-two college presidents,
among whom are President Lowell,
of Harvard, and President Hibben, of
Princeton, have accepted invitations
to come. Twenty learned and pro
fessional societies will be represented.
Among these are the National Geo
graphical Society, American Oriental
Society, American Society of Natur
alists, and others. In addition to
these who have already accepted over
4,000 personal invitations have been
issued, mostly within the state. There
include alumni, faculty members of
all colleges in the state and public
officials.

Preceding the exercises proper, the
University will give a lufFet luncheon
in honor of its guests. After the
luncheon the academic procession will
march across the campus to Memorial

CAST PICKED FOR TWO
PLAYS IN PLAYMAKERS
COMING PRCDUCTION
Two of the new plays, "Dod Gast
Ye Both," the mountain moonshine
comedy, and "The Bell Buoy," the
sea coast play, have been cast, and
rehearsals are being held daily. The
third play as originally selected,
"White Dresses," is not to be given,
there being some objections to pro
ducing a play of this nature. In its
place another one of Green's plays
is to be given . It is also a tragedy
but is .more historical in nature.
"The Last of the Lowries" pictures
the breaking up of the Lowrie band
of robbers which operated in Robeson
county about 1874. The feeling of
the mother who has lost two sons
already and who thinks her other two
sons are leading honest lives in
another state, only to see them
overtaken by the law also, makes a
theme that is very touching. Since
this last play was not selected as
early as the others a full cast of
characters has not been worked out.
For the other two plays most of the
actors are experienced though a few
"ew names will be noted.

moonshiner George Denny

THREE GAMES FOR THE
VARSITY HORSEHIDE SQUAD
DURING COMING WEEK
VIRGINIA, TRINITY AND WAKE
FOREST ARE ON THE
SLATE
The Tar Heel aggregation of
baseball players have three games
scheduled for next week two on the
home diamond and one in Greens
boro and local experts figure that
unless J. Pluvius interferes, three
more scalps will hang from the
belt of the University players.
The first game is with Wake
Forest on Monday afternoon. Judg
ing from comparative scores, the
chances are about even, but it is
certain that on their home field, the
Tar Heels will stand a much better
chance of winning than will the
Wake Forest team. Wake Forest
has a good team, however, and a
stiff battle is expected.
Trinity will be played on Wednes
day. Both Caviness and Brown, of
Trinity have been pitching good ball.
Trinity is weakened by the loss of
Southard, their star pitcher of last
year, and in the opinion of many, a
better pitcher than either Caviness
or 'Brown.
Virginia will be played in Greens
boro on Saturday, and in Chapel Hill
on Monday. The first game of the
series was lost to Virginia by the
score of 5 to 4, a lucky home run
in the ninth, winning the game. But
with our team getting into its stride
now, prospects are exceeding bright
for Tar Heel victories.
Country Club Departs
From Earthly Scenes;
Consternation in Faculty
The Chapel Hill country club
burned to the ground on Saturday
afternoon, April 3, when preparations
were being made for the usual
Saturday afternoon get-to-gether of
the faculty and townspeople.
The fire was caused by a leaking
oil stove, which had saturated the
floor with oil. There was only one
person in the building at the time,
and due to its location it was
impossible for help to reach the
scene in time to save anything except
a little furniture. The building, a j
one-story structure, partly of log,
was completely destroyed.
The club house was one of the
favorite sites around "the Hill"
situated as it was on a hill which
affords one of the most beautiful
views in this vicinity, and at a
convenient walking distance from
town. It has for many years been
the center of the social life of the
faculty, as they had gathered here on
Saturday afternoons and usually one
night each week.
It is thought that a new club
houso will soon be erected on the
same sight; plans had been made to
install water and lights in the old
building. At present the Gimghoul
Lodge is being used by the faculty
as a club house.
Chem Crew Return From
First Northern Trip
The Chemical Inspection crew, con
sisting of Dr. J. M. Bell, and Messrs.
T. M. Andrews, I. W. Smithey, II.
M. Taylor, D. M. Carroll, S. C.
Ogburn, C. K. Brooks, and II. G.
Pickett, returned last Sunday evening
from their visit to a number of the
northern industrial chemical plants.
Every member of the crew pro
nounce the trip a very beneficial one
and they suggest that in the future
the trip be made an annual affair.
A member of Parliament called
another an ass in the sacred precincts
of the House. Unparliamentary
larguage being forbidden, the offend
ing M. P. had to apologize and
withdraw his statement. He didn't
like doing it, "I withdraw," he said
very stiffly; "but I maintain that the
honorable member is out of order."
"How am I out of order?" asked
the other man heatedly.
"Probably a veterinary surgeon
could tell you," was the retort.

SCORE WAS 70-56
FIRST MEET OF YEAR FOR UNI
VERSITY SHOWS GOOD

GOOD WORK IN QUARTER-MILE
The University track team defeated
Trinity on Wednesday, the seventh,
by the score of seventy to fifty-six.
In spite of the fact that the wind
was blowing strongly, the weather
was rather, cold and conditions in
general were bad for a meet, the
events went off with considerable
pep, and some of the times were very
good.
The 440-yard dash deserves espe
cial mention. In this event all three
places were taken by Carolina men,
Hardin, Royal, and Andrews, Hardin
making the round in 51 4-5 seconds,
only 4-5 seconds more than the
Carolina record. Raad in defeating
Captain Loftm, " of Trinity, hitherto
undefeated in the two-mile race ac
complished quite a feat. His time
was 10 minutes ; aad 47 seconds.
Nichols led in individual scoring,
taking fifteen points. He took first
places in the javelin and shot put,
scored in the discus, and tied for
second in the high-jump. In the
javelin he surpassed the Carolina
record of 140 feet set by him in the
state meet last year by seven feet.
Captain Spencer found the pole
vault easy, as did Hatcher the broad
jump.
The score by events follows:
100-yard dash Barnhardt, Trinity;

Result in a Close
Contest For Places
Junior Oratorical
The preliminaries for the Junior
Oratorical contest, which was delayed
this year on account of the regular
Junior week program being turned
into a holiday, were held Monday
night. A very spirited contest was
the result, as the competition was
unusually keen this year and the
contestants many and of excellent
ability. The judges found a great
deal of difficulty in selecting the
representatives for the finals, as a
result.
In the Phi society T. S. Kittrell,
E. K. Proctor and J. V. Bagget acted
as judges and announced D. L.
Grant and B. C. Brown as winners,
with C. I. Taylor as alternate. At
the same time a similar preliminary
was taking place in the Di society
hall, where W. D. Harris, - D. B.

the Carr Medal, which is given to
the best one of the four orators.
This medal was won last year by Nat
Mobley.
Prof. Kcch Makes Talk
At Flora MacDonald
The subject of "Fclk Playmaking"
was discussed at a speech before
students of Flora MacDonald College
last Friday night by Dr. Frederick
H. Koch of this University.
Dr. Koch discussed the plays which
have been written and produced by
the Carolina Playmakers and illus
trated his speech by lantern slides of
various scenes.
He mentioned the pageant of
Flora MacDonald, written by a Uni
versity student, and said that he
hoped it could be produced either at
Red Springs or Pinehurst soon. He
ably pointed out the great opportu
nity for community co-operation in
presenting folk plays, and empha
sized the fact that the future of the
drama lies in the hands of amateurs
today.
Mr. Y. Naito, an M. A. student
of the University, is now engaged in
business with his father at his homo
in Kofu City, Japan. Mr. Naito
sends his Easter greetings to his old
friends on the Hill and in the
States.

DISASTROUS TRIP FOR
VARSITY; LOSE FOUR
TIMES BY SMALL SCORE
WIN ONE, TIE TWO MORE AND
LOSE THEIR HORSE-SHOE
PLAYED SEVEN GAMES IN WEEK
Virginia and State Both Get Big
Ends of Scores, Lose To Each
by Lone Tally
The baseball team saw a hard
week while the rest of the students
were enjoying the holidays. Playing
seven games in eight days, the Tar
Heels were in an almost continuous
strain from the Saturday that the
holidays began until Monday night
last. The team was also playing
under further difficulties most of
the time due to the extremely cold
weather for baseball. In view of
these obstacles the results or the
trip may not be so disappointing as
they would under ordinary circum
stances. Beginning here Saturday,
April 3, the squad encountered Mary
land State, resulting in a 3 to 3 tk
after eleven innings, the game being
called on account of darkness. On
the following Monday the Winston-
Salem "Twins" came out at the big
end of a slugging .contest to the tunc
of 9 to 8. Tuesday Davidson wert
down in defeat by the scort of 3 ti
2, the game being played in Greens
boro, where on the next day, Wednes
day, Yale bested the Tar Heels by
the score of 5 to 3. On Thursday
the team journeyed down to Raleigh.
where State won a close game 6 to
5. Resting on Friday, the team
played the first game of the series of
three with Virginia on Saturday,
losing in the ninth inning by a home
run. The game was played at Char
lottesville. Last Monday another 3
to 3 tie was played in Danville, V'j..
against Washington .and Lee. th?
game being called on account of rain.
The attendance at the games wa-;
rather scattered, due in large part t
the unusually cold weather at most
of them.
Th2 game with Maryland Stat",
since it was the first game of thi
season for the Tar Heel3, showed
them up a little ragged in th-t
fielding, but strong on the hitting.
Wilson pitched a good game, striking
out 8 men. Bunched hits in th
third gave Carolina two runs, to

WELL KNOWN ALUMNUS TO
ADDRESS COMMERCE SCHOOL
TUESDAY IN PEABODY HALL
The School of Commerce announces
the third lecture of their series to
ba delivered by Eugene Hartley on
Tuesday April 20, eight-thirty o'clock,
in Peabody auditorium. The subject
of the lecture will be "Business
Statistics." Mr. Hartley is well
equipped to handle this subject; ha
row holds the position of Chip"
Statistican of Manufactures of the
Bureau of the Census, at Washing
ton. He is an alumnus of Carolina,
graduating with the class of 1899,
and has made a special study of th
relation of statistics to business.
Thus, he has come to be one of the
most important census officials. Mr.
Hartley comes to Carolina fresh from
the task of gathering and digesting
the facts of the tremendous business
advances made in our .country during
the past ten years. One of America's
greatest weaknesses in business life
has been the lack of accurate and
definite information on industrial
matters. As we enter into mor-j
vigorous competition in world mar
kets we will be compelled to hava
accurate and comprehensive know
ledge of our facilities. Such men a;
Mr. Hartley are filling just this
need, and making possible the con
tinuation of American leadership in
the industrial fields of the worlJ. On
Tu'esday evening Mr. Hartley will
erplain this work to the Student-; of
the School of Commerce, and those
of the public who wish to hear
him.
