Asheville upheld the affirmative side of the query, Resolved, That the United States should adopt the policy of further material restriction of immigration. Goldsboro defended the negative. The debate was one of the most closely contested ever held, the decision of the judges being three to two in favor of the affirma tive; . The contest was held before an audience of students, townspeople and visitors that completely packed Memorial hall, every seat being taken. The fact that it was a battle of wits between two boys on one side and two girls on the other added much interest to the occasion. President Harry Woodburn Chase presided and Mr. E. R. Rankin .acted as secretary. The judges were Pro fessors, Horace Williams, Lucius P. McGehee, Edwin Greenlaw, Louis R. Wilson, and W. S. Bernard. Before announcing the decision of the judges, Prof. N. W. Walker spoke briefly of the purposes and aims of the high school debating union and the work it is doing. The final decisions in these discussions of questions of national interest have in several . cases anticipated legisla tion on " these subjects, a notable example being in regard to woman suffrage. Mr. Walker presented to each of the four contestants in the finals a handsome gold medal, these being given by the Dialectic and Philanthropic societies. The win ning team was then presented with the Aycock Memorial Cup which was contributed by former intercollegiate debaters of the University.

The entire team hit and fielded well in all of these games. The next game is with the North Caro lina state freshmen, and will be played sometime next week. HAYMAKER'S GIVE LAST PERFORMANCE TONIGHT With good prospects for a real .still .... fronudxtho-state prohibition officer at Raleigh, and with a new setting painted for the Lowrie play, the Carolina Playmakers are getting ready for the production of the three original plays on the nights of April 30th and May 1st. Since the last announcement a few changes have been made in characters. Miss Penny has been shifted from the moonshine play to the Lowrie play, and Miss Markham now takes the part of the very clever moonshiner's daughter. In "The Bell Buoy" Mr. Hodgin plays the part of the "Doctor," thus releasing Mr. Neiman for the Lowrie play. The cast for this tragedy of the Croaton outlaws has been completed and is as fol lows: "The Last of the Lowries". Henry Berry Lowrie .....E. Neiman Cumba Lowrie Miss Taylor Mayno Lowrie Miss Freeman Jane Lowrie Miss Penny Come, My Lads, Let Us R. O. T. C. With the coming of the long sunny afternoons, the grass and birds have put in their appearance on the campus. Likewise the uni forms of the R. O. T. C.' have made their debut, and now the walks and the buildings of the old institution are swarming with "embry officers." And they are wearing them in all styles and shapes. From the U. S. shavetail "parallell-to-the-g round-straight-over-the-eye" variety to the "latest from Blighty" style they are wearing the barracks caps. The good old days of the S. A. T. C, and the lieutenants from Georgia are brought to mind when we turn the corner and step full into the face of a "leather-putted" cap'n of infantry, isn't it? And they have rifles, too, and they are not the Russian regulation, kind either. $250,000 Hotel To Be Built by Alumni The University Hotel Company, a $250,000 concern, was granted papers of incorporation Monday by the secretary of state. The company plans to erect a modern hotel at Chapel Hill as soon as preliminary arrangements can be perfected. The stock paid in is by E. G. Wright, Greensboro; J. W. Umstead, Tarboro, and Mayor W. S. Roberson, Chapel Hill.

The atmosphere seemed alive with that peculiar tenseness which pro ceeds the unusual. Class time came, but the great vibrant bell high up in the top of Old South was still. It, too, seemed to sense, high in its dusty eyrie, the impending ceremony that was to inaugurate Harry Wood burn Chase, tenth president of the University of North Carolina, the oldest state University in the country in its one. hundred and twenty-five years of existence. For two days a discouraging driz zle had alternated with the fickle fancy of an April rain, but shortly before dawn a breeze sprang up out of the west and by daylight the sky was flecked with scurrying ghosts of windswept and fast disappearing clouds. The sand-clay top soil of the village responded to the wind and sun and by noon gave no indication of the rains of the preceeding days. The wind blew itself almost out and by one o'clock more ideal weather could not have been askld for. The setting was perfect. The eleven divisions of the inau gural procession had been assembling in their appointed places, and shortly before 1:30 o clock a bugle note rang clear and high above the heads of the crowd. The R. O. T. C. unit swung into column in front of the Alumni building, the student body, led by marshall Beemer C. Harrell, took up the march and the proces sion had become a reality. Camera men began hurrying hither and yon along the line, and the clicking of the shutters was audible, above the march. Following the chief mar shal, came the senior law class led by Frederick O. Bowman, president; junior law, led by Ernest M. Currie, president; second year medical class led by Graham Ramsay, president; first year medical class, led by Ben (Continued on page three) DISTINGUISHED ASSEMBLY OF EDUCATORS AND PROMINENT ALUMNI "UNIVERSITY AND NEW SOUTH" Theme of President's Address; Presidents Lowell ann Hib ben Speak; Mr. Daniels Toastmaster By Lenoir Chambers Chapel Hill, April 28.

All his own faculty where he himself on ' the other side the members of were clad in the academic cap and gown and their many shaded hoods lent a fine display of life and color to the high sweep of historic Me morial hall. Daniels at Dinner ' Secretory of the Navy Josephus Daniels, who presided at the ! dinner tonight, stood just to the left of the new president as he took the oath of office.
