BY
STUDENTS THE MOST
REPRESENTATIVE MAN
Dan Grant Is Close Runner-Up and
"Scrubby Rives" Takes Third
Place in Election.
NEARLY THOUSAND VOTE
Carolina Magazine announced
Wednesday that C. W. Phillips of
Trinity was elected in the contest to
decide who was the most representa
tive man on the Carolina campus.
Daniel L. Grant was the runner-up,
in the elections, he having only seven
votes less than Phillips, the winner.
The total vote reached almost one
thousand, and more than one-half of
these votes were cast either for
Phillips or Grant as first or second
choices.
"Scrubby Rives," the best cheer
leader Carolina has ever had, came
out in the third place in the elections.
His vote was only about 65 behind
the leader. Others who put up good
fights for the honor of being called
Carolina's most representative man
were John Kerr, Bailey Liipfert,
Robins Lowe, and Monk McDonald.
Phillips is vice-president and gen
eral secretary of the Y. M. C. A., a
self help student, a member of the
student council, a member of the
campus cabinet, a publication man,
has played class athletics, has been
actively engaged in church work in
the town, and is a member of a ma
jority of the honorary fraternities.
Daniel Grant is editor of the TAR
HEEL, was president of the Phi
Assembly, an intercollegiate debater,
a member of Golden Fleece, and has
almost attained Phi Beta Kappa
grades.
The March Magazine will contain
a two thousand word write up of
Charlie Phillip's life and personality
and in addition will have a picture
of him. A one page write up of
Grant will also be run, although this
was not at first contemplated. Due
to the fact that he came so near to
first place, it was decided that justice
would not be done to the voters and
the Magazine unless he was also
"written up."
The holding of this contest by the
oldest publication oh the campus
the Carolina Magazine marks a
significant era in its history. The
Magazine is trying to give the stu
dents something this year that they
will read, and hit upon this plan as
a very effective way to get the Mag
azine before the students in a greater
way.
NOTED SCULPTOR TO
SPEAIUOE MONDAY
Lorado Taft, One of America's Most
Noted Sculptors, to Lecture
to Students Next Week.
Coming to the University only af
ter many inducements had been of
fered him, Lorado Taft, one of the
most noted sculptors in the United
States will lecture to the Students
of the University in Gerrard Hall
next Monday and Tuesday night. He
will also speak in chapel next Tues
day morning. Mr. Taft, by birth a
native of the state of Illinois, has
been connected with the Art Institute
of Chicago for the past thirty years,
as an instructor in modeling and as
lecturer. He is a member of the
National Sculpture Society, of the
National Academy, of the American
Institute of Arts and Letters, an
honorary member of the American
Institute of Architects, and is one of
the Board of Advisors for the State
of Illinois. :
As an author, Mr. Taft has pub
lished a "History of American Sculp
ture," and another work, six lec
tures on "Recent Tendencies of
American Sculpture," is now ready
for the press. He has the gifts of the
orator along with the gifts of the
sculptor. The Richmond Item of
Richmond, Ind., made the following
comment upon one of Mr. Taft's
lectures in that city: "Mr. Taft
made a profound impression on his
hearers last evening with his simpli
city, his humanity, his clear exposi
tion of the sculptor's art, his kindly
humor and his serene philosophy ex
prcrsed through his running com
mentary as he molded and shaped his
clay into human presentment.
To have a man like this, appear
before a mixed audience as was that
of last night and, in simple language

WITH SIGNING IIP OF
FETZERS NEW ERA IS
HOPED AND EXPECTED
Review of Policies of Late Years
and Synopsis of the Pro- i
posed Plans. i
CAMPUS HAS NEW SPIRIT j
(By J. J. WADE.)
The signing of -a contract by Wil
liam M. and Robert A. Fetzer to take
charge of athletics at Carolina marks
what is hoped to be the beginning
of a new era in athletics here. The
securing of these two well known
and highly reputed Southern coaches
by University authorities came after
a general reaction on the part of stu
dents, alumni, and friends of Caro
lina out over the State, who express
ed their interest by means of the
press and by actual work in an en
deavor to make a change for the
better here. But the recently de
fined plans and athletic policy to
govern the physical educational de
partment at Carolina with the com
rag ox tne fetzers is not a new
policy, but merely a resuming of a
plan made in the year 1916 by Caro
lina alumni and athletic authorities.
It was after the season of 1915 when
Virginia defeated Carolina again
that alumni throughout the State got
busy and decided upon certain de
finite plans in regard to the running
and coaching of athletic teams here.
These men decided that It was neces
sary to secure a good competent
coach, with ability and personality,
whose duty it would be to supervise
all athletic teams, and who should
be assisted by others of experience.
A greater interest in athletics was
encouraged, and a physical educa
tional department was somewhat
planned whereby all the students
should be given some physical train
ing. After some time Tommy Camp-

OF
70 PER CENT DEBATES
Carolina Debaters Have Won Five
Out of Six Debates With Uni
versity of Pennsylvania.
A percentage of seventy per cent
won and thirty per cent lost is the
record that Carolina has established
in debating in the past. In estab
lishing this enviable record Caro
lina has participated in fifty debates
winning thirty five and losing fif
teen. Carolina has debated universi
ties all the way from Tulane to
Pennsylvania, including Virginia,
Washington and Lee, Vanderbilt,
Johns Hopkins, and George Wash
ington. Some of the state's mojst promi
nent men have taken part in these
debates. The late President E. K.
Graham was one of the winners of
the first victorious debating team
that Carolina ever put out. Others
of these forensic heroes were Judge
W. P. Stacy, John J. Parker, W. S. !
Bernard, F. R. Bradshaw, F. P. Gra-1
ham, and J. W. Umstead. Many oth
ers have represented Carolina, some
successfully and. some unsuccess
fully, but the same spirit prevailed
in all of them.
GEORGIA.
In 1897 with Georgia as an op
ponent Carolina first began her de
bating history. Messrs H. G. Con
nor, Jr., and D. B. Smith, advocat
ing the Swiss Referendum, lost to
the Georgia team. But in 1898,
with C. M. Walker and E. K. Gra
ham opposing the annexation of
Hawaii, Carolina first triumphed in
organization. In 1899 Carolina won
again from Georgia, E. D. Bradshaw
and T. C. Bowie opposing the
Election of Senators by a Direct
Vote of the People. So the debat
ing relations with the University of
Georgia continued from 1897 to
1911. In these forensic battles the
two institutions have engaged in
fourteen debates of which Carolina
has won ten and Georgia four.
PENNSYLVANIA.
The Carolina-Pennsylvania series
stand out as one of the most vic
torious series of debates. Carolina
has held six debates with Pennsyl
vania in the past, and although
Pennsylvania is the larger institu
tion, Carolina has won an almost un
broken string of victories. In at
taining this enviable record Caro
lina has won five of the six debates,

E TO BE
BY
ORDER OF GRAIL
First of Series of ' Dances to
Given Under Order's Super
vision Saturday Nigbt.
Realizing the need for more so
cial development on the campus, The
Order of the Grail will inaugurate
a series of dances to be given in the
gymnasium beginning on Saturday
night, January 22, 1921, at 9 o'clock.
The purpose is three-fold : to get
the students together, to provide so
cial development, to provide suitable
recreation under supervision. The
Grail hopes to have one of these
dances every month during the col
lege year unless there arises some
unforeseen obstacle. A charge of
50c will be made for stags, and 25c
for gentlemen with ladies. The
dances have the approval of the
faculty, and proper chaperonage will
be present. The regular German
Club rules will be in force, and the
dances will be informal. Members
of the Grail will be present, and
stags will be required to remain on
the side lines. Music will be furnish
ed by the Tar Baby Five. The Grail
solicits the moral support of the
campus for the dances and it is hop
ed that there will be a good attend-
ance on Saturday night to make the be, but adds that it is intensely in
plan a success. A budget of the re-1 teresting and will give him a lot of
ceipts and expenditures of the dances
will be published in the TAR HEEL,
and any amount left over will be
held in reserve to help to reduce the
expenses of the future dances.
LECTURE ON DYNAMITE
HERE LAST THURSDAY
A very interesting and instructive
lecture entitled "The Manufacture
of Dynamite and Nitro-Glycerin"
was delivered in Phillips hall last
Thursday evening by Mr. E. M.
Symms, who is connected with the
Hercules Powder Co., which is the
largest maker of dynamite and ex
plosives in general use in the coun
try. The company has plants in the
states of Delaware, New Jersey,
Utah, and California, and had charge
of the nitrate works in West Vir
ginia during the war, working for
the American government. Mr.
Symms' lecture illustrated the entire
process of manufacture of nitric and
sulphuric acid through the manu
facture of nitro-glycerin, explosive
gelatin and dynamite. The mining
of Chile niter and Louisiana sulphur
was also described in his lecture and
the entire lecture was illustrated by
lantern slides. The ovation tender
ed Mr. Symms after his lecture was
abundant proof of the instructive
ness and quality of the lecture. The
audience was very appreciative.

BEEMER C. HARRELL
Overjoyed That Fetzers
Coach Says Work Is
But Interesting.
Are
Hard
to
Beemer C. Harrell, captain of last
year's football team, is now working
in South Carolina in the capacity of
Executive Secreary of the Young
Men's Christian Association there,
according to a letter recently receiv
ed by the TAR HEEL. -
Tn Vi.'r, D
iii -mo icitci, ucciiicr says uiac nis i
duties as executive Secretary are to
unite and correlate organizations and i
agencies that are in operation in the
Y. M. C. A. in Chester and to direct
their work. He says that the work
is hard and somewhat different from
what he at first supposed it would
experience that will do him good.
Beemer also says that his work puts
him in touch with many of the big
men of the town, and that this is
something that will help him a lot.
The most important part of his
letter is this: "Congratulations to
you and everybody that had to do
with getting Fetzers. That's the
best news yet." This is significant
as it comes from a man who has had
a great deal of experience with some
of the different coaches who have
come to Carolina to take charge of
football. It shows what is believed
to be the attitude of the football
players of yesterday in regard to the
Fetzer brothers, the new coaches
here, and it shows the esteem and
good will that the new coaches are
held in by the great majority of
Carolina alumni.
Beemer Harrell, in his position as
Executive Secretary of the "Y" is
directing the work in Chester from
all angles a sort of general in
charge of operations. In doing this
work, he is merely doing what he did
here at Carolina acting as a leader.

Hungry
Swainites Lured by
the
Odor of Beans, Try in Vain
to Rush Hall.
GOOCH'S BECOMES MECCA
The machine-like regularity of
Swain Hall was somewhat upset
Thursday night as a result of the
order issued by the authorities that
diners present their board bill receipts
before entering the spacious dining
hall. Two days before, notices were
distributed about the tables an
nouncing that this drastic action
would be put into effect, but many
of the boarders were inclined to
treat this warning with contempt as
well as derision.
Thursday night, when the hungry
boarders prepared to storm the
stout doors of Swain Hall in the ac
customed barbaric style, they were
greeted with a surprising situation.
The doors were already open, but the
entrance was barred by several de
trimental looking young men, who
gently but firmly demanded receipts.
Then began a scene of consternation
and confusion to those unforseeing
ones who had regarded the notices
with disdain two days before. Some
searched their pockets frenziedly
for the troublesome slips of paper,
and not finding them, muttered hor
rible oaths, and fled with amazing
speed to procure them. Others
seemed unable to comprehend the
dismaying predicament, and stood
on the chilly porch with blank,
ravenous expressions.
Those who did not possess the
necessary funds were in a pitiable
plight. They besought the stalwart
door-keepers with heart-rending en
treaties, subtle bribes, and dire
threats, but all to no avail. Then,
spurred on by the jeers and hoots
from the interior, the hungry wolves
attempted to rush the door and bat
ter down the opposition, but the de
fenders of the Swain stronghold
valiantly stemmed the tide, as did
Horatius of yore
Strategic mea-
sures were then adopted.
Crude im-
itations of the receipts were hur-1
were boldly presented, but all failed
to hoodwink the defenders. One
desperate individual attempted to
walk in backward in order that the
doorkeepers might think he was com
ing out. Another resourseful young
man, about four feet in height, non
chalantly approached the door, then
in weasel fashion, darted under the
legs of the door-keeper, and disap
peared in a flash in the confusion of
waiters and diners amid the appre
ciative shouts of the spectators.
Finally the besiegers realized the
futility of gaining admission to the
near but far away interior, and in
rebellious and disgruntled frame of
mind slouched off in the general di
rection of Gooch's eating establish
ment. Order once more reigned in
Swain Hall.
JUNIORS ELECT PROM
AT
Bob Griffith Chosen as Leader with
Bob Proctor and Wood Williams
as Assistants.
Election of Prom leaders, com
mencement marshalls, speeches by
coeds and the faculty were features
of the Junior smoker Tuesday night,
Bob Grifflth was elected dance lead-
er' Wltn Wll' and Proctor as
ass"stants. Jacobi was elected chief
commencement marshall with Lon
don' Mchison, Hester, Ie, Thorpe,
ifansou a."d Matthews as assistants.
ine nve junior co-eds were present
and made short talks. Prof. Hib
bard's speech on, "Wild Baths I
Have Taken," was most interesting
but for five reasons couldn't be made
in more detail. Professors Matherly
and Woosley also gave short ex
temporaneous talks.
President Nash spoke about the
need of upper class men attending
chapel pn the days that special pro
grams would be held for them.. A
resoluton was passed endorsing the
new arrangement of awarding let
ters, which the Athletic association
feels is necessary. Arrangements
were made to hold smokers more
frequently in the future.
Many members of the class were
called on for a few words, and Gar
land Porter's imitation of Collier
Cobb brought back memories of

elusion of Immigrants for
I Period of Two Years.
! CAROLINA AFFIRMATIVE

defend the negative.
The query to be discussed is as
follows: "Resolved, That a federal
law should be passed rigidly exclud
ing immigrants for a period of two
years."
A new feature of the debate this
year is that each team will be com
posed of three debaters instead of
two as formerly.
The judges have not yet been
selected, but they are to come from
the faculty. President Chase will
probably preside, and W. H. Bobbitt
