Number 28 CAROLINA WILL MEET ON HILL FRIDAY NIGHT Team Will Be Carmichael and Mc Donald, Liipfert, and Hanby and Shepherd. FIRST OF REGULAR GAMES When the Carolina basketball quint meets South Carolina Friday night in Bynum Gymnasium ,the 1921 bas ketball season will be officially un der way for the Blue and White team. Although an exhibition, game was played with the Durham Y. M. C. A. before Christmas, the regular schedule opens with the South Caro lina contest Friday night. Carmichael and MacDonald at forwards, Liipfert at center, and Hanby and Shepherd at the guard positions, is the line-up to take the floor in the initial con test, according to Coach Major Boye. Erwin and Morris, guards, letter men of last season, will also get a chance to play before the game is over. It is believed that the South Caro linians will bring a strong quint and will put up a good fight, but the Carolina team is confident of vic tory by a comfortable margin. South Carolina will play State Col lege, in Raleigh, on the night follow ing, and the results of the two games in comparison are anticipated great ly, as an indication of just what kind of early season form the two state teams possess. Coach Boye's squad has been hard at it since the holidays, and scrim mages have been held every night practically. Douglas and Rourk, let ter men last season, and two of the most dependable men on the team, have been ruled ineligible for first months playing, and Murray, out for the first time this year but a very promising player, is another that will be unable to participate in games for the first month. In the game Friday night other men that will get a trial are Woodall, Graham, Williams," and possibly Eaton. All of these men have shown up well in early season preparation, and may make some on the varsity hustle to hold their positions. MANY STUDENTS WILL TAKE THE LAW EXAMINATION The examinations for the fall term of the Law School will begin Satur day, the 22nd of January, and end on the 29th, giving a week and one day for the examinations. There will be no let-up in the work between terms, the Spring term be ginning Monday, January the 31st. The Law School has onlv two terms to the school year, unlike the other schools of the University which use the Quarter System. The Law School last year used the Quarter System but it was found not to work as well in the case of the Law Schmol as in the other schools of the University, so this year the Law Schol reverted to the 3d anethod of two terms to the school year. Many students in the Law School are planning to take the examina tions f or admittance te the bar when the examinations begin the last Mon day in January, which happens this year to fall on the last day in the month, the 31st. About twenty stu dents are said to be planning to take the bar examinations from the Law School although several of whom have not as yet finished their course in the Law School. The examinations or admittance to the bar .are held in Raleigh twice yearly, one on the last Monday in January and the other on the last Monday in August. The (examinations are giyen by the Supreme Court of the State. Two years f reading in certain prescribed texts re neces sary for admittance to the bar in North Carolina. Sixty-six questions are made out for the applicants for license to practice law and the ' answering of at least two thirds, or forty-four of them is necessary for admittance to the bar. BAYLOR UNIVERSITY Starting a precedent by wearing full dress the Lariat staff enjoyed a banquet at the gold room of the Ra leigh hotel last Monday evening. Dean A. C. Flowers of the law de partment, Mrs. Flowers and Otis H. Miller of the journalism department were the honored guests. Music by the Hornburg brothers was inter spersed in the program. The entire affair was carried out with perfect ease, beginning with a promenade in the mezzanine where couples ex changed greetings with their friends and concluding with a few minutes of chat after the dinner. Present Program Not An Over-Night Outburst But In A Greater Scheme The Great Question Not One of Refusing or Killing, But of De laying There is One Way for the Need to Spend Itself, and That is to Consummate Delay Means Increased Future Responsibilities. (By DANIEL L. GRANT) In a roundabout way, we con cluded Tuesday that we were now, as a State, up against a quite natural 1 outgrowth in our life when the peo-! pie demands more educational facili- 1 ties, in every department of public education; and we promised to con- tinue with the discussion of the prac- tical educational problem that we are ' against, and the vision we must have ' for tomorrow. We shall try to point out that the present demand is in a ereater scheme of things, and is not the over-night fancy of any man who time in February. Dr. Shory, an would like to see the State spend eminent authority on philosophy and some money ' ' tne Latin and Greek classics, will pre- The great thing that contributes to sent his interpretation of Plato's the present urgency of the situation Philosophy. Dr. Shory graduated is the fact that we have never had from Harvard University; was pro an adequate educational system.

The public and high schools must be do ing good work in order to feed stu dents to the colleges and the univer sity. And the higher institutions in turn must be doing good work in order to feed good men and women back into the public and high schools in order to train them thoroughly for advanced work. And so the whole thing must go forward, or lag together. Unfortunately they have all lagged together. It only takes the report of the re cent Educational Commission to con vince us of the conditions in the public and high schools of the State. After two years' work in our school system, conducting investigations in every part of the State, the Com mission's report shows that the sixth grade pupils in our public schools are on the average, from one and a half to two years behind those of other States; two years' work short of the standard that we have set for sixth grade pupils. This is not a hurried conclusion, nor a surmise. It is a tragic fact that was borne in upon the Commission in its two years' work conducting investigations in every subject: English, History, Mathe matics, Latin, Spelling, etc., and in every part of the State. The Com mission also reports that of the 358 high schools reported, 104 are cap able of doing full four years' high school work, while at least 225 are attempting and failing because of a lack of competent teachers and equip ment. Summarizing the whole situation the report states that "buildings are still mainly poor, teachers are still mainly untrained, financial support is still inadequate, and supervision is still ineffective." And the colleges and University, running true to form, are in about a similar situation. The need for more adequate physical equipment has been repeatedly emphasized, and demon strated. The writer's situation, as already described, demonstrates it. (I have just returned from lunch, where I waited forty minutes for the f "first shift" to complete their meal The 1914 report showed the Ath in order that I might sat.) But there letic Association to be in debt over is no use to djrell on the need fortf physical equipment that is true throughout the several institutions of the State. That it will take all that has been asked for to meet this situation, no one who is familiar with the situation has questioned. But physic! equipment is not all. It costs money to do work of a uni versity grade. It is little difficult to get men competent to teach men in the fourth year of high school, or the first year in college, but it is expensive to provide the instruction, i the library, and laboratory facilities that are requisite for undergraduate work, which does not take into con- sideration the still greater expense j ..... , . i involved in doing graduate work ,...,... or real university work. And the . .i . j amount of money that the University for instance, has been able to spend on eacn or ner students is oniy com-: parable to tnat sne nas Deen.aDie to m4- 4- n klnninn1 Anil irt -v Anl A I ' j "' r T;r tt t j ' cording to the reports of the United Mates Educational commission lineup was only part of a daV( as the ' . team was anxious to get to the battle (Continued on Page Two) ground as soon as possible. PAUL SHORY MAY GIVE 1821 MIIR LECTURES Dr- hry " Eminent Authority on Philosophy and the Latin an1 Greek Classic. An invitation has been given to Dr- Paul Shory, of the University of Chicago, to deliver tne iviciNair lec-, tures for 1921, to be given some, XJ? Good in Plato's Republic," "The Odes and Epodes of Horace," and others Dr. Shory has become important in the philosophical classes of the world. The John Calvin McNair lecture fund was established by the will of Mr. McNair, of the class of 1849. It became available in 1906 and in terest therefrom rendered it possible to begin the lectures in 1908. Under the will the object of the lectures "shall be to show the mutual bear ing of science and religion upon'each other and to prove the existence of attributes (as far as may be) of God from nature." The lectures be ginning in 1908 have been delivered by some of the greatest authorities on subjects of the kind in America. In 1908 the lectures were first de livered by Prof. Francis H. Smith, of the University of Virgina. Then followed in 1909 President Francis Landey Patton of Princeton Theo logical Seminary; in 1910 by David Starr Jordan; in 1911 by Prof. Henry Van Dyke; in 1912 by President Twining Hadley, of Yale University; in 1913 by Prof. Francis G. Peabody; in 1914 by Prof. George Edgar Vin cent; in 1915 by Prof. John Dewey; in 1916 by Dean Frederick J. E. Woodbridge, of Columbia University; in 1917 by Prof. Hugh Black; and in 1918 by Prof. Shailer Mathews. Last year the McNair lectures were delivered by Prof. Edwin Grant Conk lin. Now in 1921 Dr. Paul Shory, of the University of Chicago, will give an interpretation of Plato's Philosophy. CAROLINA IN THE PAST Historic Briefs of Interest to Stu dents Today. 1913-14.

The Taylor, Boyd, and Beer Are to Rep resent Carolina in First Debate of Year. DEBATE HERE JANUARY 22 In the preliminary for the Penn sylvania debate which was held Fri day night, C. T. Boyd, C. D. Beers, and T. C. Taylor were selected to represent Carolina in this forensic contest. These debaters will meet Pennsylvania here in Gerrard Hall January 22. Eight debaters contested for places on the team. In addition to the suc cessful contestants, the speakers were as follows: L. W. Jarman, C. C. Poindexter. V. V. Young. M. B formate and C J Wil- Prescott . and C. J . Wil liams. The judges for the contests were Profs. W. W. Pierson, Jr., tfFrank P. Graham, and George M. picKie. The query for the debate is as 'follows: "Resolved, That a federal law should be passed rigidly exclud ing immigrants for a period of the next two years." This year the Pennsylvania team will come here for the final contest which will be held Saturday night, January 22. In the debate this year the teams will be composed of three debaters instead of two, as formerly. None of the three Carolina men are inex perienced in this kind of work. C. T. Boyd and T. C. Taylor won their N. C.'s in 1919 and 1920, respective ly, and C. D. Beers has had consider able experience in literary society work. Carolina has held a number of de bates with Pennsylvania in the past, and although Pennsylvania is a much larger university, Carolina has won an almost unbroken string of vic tories. In attaining this enviable record, Carolina has debated Penn sylvania six times, winning five and losing only one. The first debate was held in 1907 when P. M. Williams and T. W. Andrews, advocating the reduction of tariff, lost to Pennsylvania. In 1908, J. ,W. Umstead, Jr., and K. D. Battle defeated Pennsylvania, defending the negative side of the following query: "Resolved, That the pooling of interstate traffic and rates should be legalized." Another victory was won in 1909 when Eugene C. Barnette, Carolina's present missionary in China, and E. M. Highsmith, opposing an inherit ance tax, defeated the Quakers. W. F. Taylor and C. L. Williams, advocating the establishment of a central bank by the United States, added another link to Carolina's chain of victories. In 1912 F. P. Barker and C. R. Wharton won another victory de fending the negative side of the query, "Resolved, That all forest and mineral possessions of the United States should be retained by the federal government." MISSOURI UNIVERSITY Seventy-five percent of the men at M. U. are discourteous, according to some of the girls of the University. They fail to raise their hats when spoken to by a girl, and one girl com plains of being "jostled off the walk in Lowry street." The girls find var ious explanations for this lack of chivalry on the part of the men, rang ing all the way from the co-educational system to the nineteenth amendment.

FRESHMEN DEFEATED BY VARSITY 63 TO 28 Carmichael Stars for Varsity Game That is Marked by Roughness. The varsity quintet made its local debut Wednesday night when the Carmichael Freshmen aggregation were snowed under by the score of 69 to 28 in a rather ragged exhi bition of bsketball. Although some what of a practice game, a good sized crowd was out to get a line on varsity progress and was rewarded by a snappy and good-naturedly rough-house affair. The major has about whipped his team in shape for the South Carolina game and there should not be much doubt as to the outcome. Cartwright Carmichael, of last year's team, who has now passed the required work to be eligible, played forward and with Hanby proved the shining lights for the varsity. His playing has improved a good bit since last year and he bids fair to better his brother's record. "Monk" McDonald, at the other forward, was fast as ever and sure with his baskets. The last half by agreement ran ten minutes longer than usual in order to give some of the "subs" a chance to "strut their stuff." For the Freshmen, Ambler, at guard and center, showed flashes of exceptional playing and Purser was very good, ringing four of his team's Carmichael threw nine and McDon ald six field goals, while Hanby and Shepherd secured five each. Coach Bill Fetzer was present at the game. Varsity Line-up Fresh. Carmichael Green L. F. McDonald Dodder R. F. Liipfert Ambler C. shepherd Purser L. C. Hanby 4 Mahler R. G. Referee: Person.

PHI ASSEMBLY BETS DOWN TO WORK WITH IMMIGRATION DEBATE Assembly Votes in Affirmative for ' Proposed Bill to Restrict Immi gration for Two Years. TO INSTALL NEW OFFICERS At its first session of the winter term the Phi. society debated the most important question before the American public today the immi gration problem, the solution of which the present Congress is con fronted with, and passed by a vote of 50 for to 14 against the bill en titled, "Resolved, That a Federal law be passed rigidly restricting immigra tion to the United States for a period of two years." The query is inter preted as meaning the barring of "all immigrants except students, tourists, foreign officials, and mem bers of the immediate family of some person already a resident of the Unit ed States." M. B. Prescott, speaking in favor of the bill, declared that the con gested conditions prevailing in the large cities of the north were caused by a too rapid influx of immigrants to the United States. "Too many immigrants retard our reconstruction rather than aid it. Many of the immigrants are radicals who aim to strike at the foundations of our government. You can't select the good and the bad immigrants. Fur thermore, the preponderance of crime at the present in the larger cities of America is caused by the congested conditions made possible by a too rapid influx of immigrants," declared Mr. Prescott. "There are about 2,000,000 unemployed labor ers in America now. We don't need any labor. We all know the attend ant evils caused by the loafers and the unemployed. To pass this law would be fair to the immigrants and to the American laborer who needs our protection," argued Mr. Prescott. Phillip Hettleman predicts pros perity for the country after a lapse of about two years in which time we will recover from the evil effects of the late war, and with prosperity he predicts a greater demand for enicient laDorers. - ii you cion t give the American laborer competition, his efficiency will never be increased and he will always be an unskilled laborer, to the detriment of indus try," declared Mr. Hettleman. He asks his opponents to consider, be fore they say that all immigrants are undesirable and seek to tear down American institutions, Dr. Weil who came to this country as an immigrant many years ago, and who has delivered lectures on American citizenship before student audiences in this very University. .Messrs. David S. Wainer and Wyatt R. Aydlett were initiated into the society. The newly elected of ficers of the Society will be in augurated next Saturday night. V. P. I. With six letter men out for bas ketball, Tech feels assured of one of the most successful seasons ever ex perienced by an Orange and Maroon team. Five of these men placed Tech within one game's distance of the South Atlantic rag last year, and that particular game was lost by two points, the score being 28-26 in favor of V. M. I. The young women of the James Moods Green Club of the school of law, will be installed in Phi Delta Delta, women's national legal fratern ity, this afternoon at Green Hall by Miss Anita Veale, grand installing officer of Los Angeles, California.
