C, WRITE TEN LETTERS Students in the University who are interested in the success of the bud get of our needs as presented to the Legislature by President Chase, are constantly asking what can I do to help the cause? We should like to call your attention to the ad. that the Peoples Bank is running today. So far as the students are con cerned, this advertisement lays clear ly before the students what they should do. This is as people who make their home in Chapel Hill see it. And we believe that they have succeeded in putting their finger on the vital thing for the students. Last summer, when the outcome of the revaluation act was hanging in the balance, some of the leaders of the democratic party promised that there shall be no general prop erty tax for State purposes. And again, the other day, when the re port of the Budget Committee came before the House Finance Commit tee a motion was passed declaring that expenditures would be kept within the State's income. Gradually the very life is being choked out of the possibility of the higher educational institutions of the State getting even the minimum that they absolutely must have. And just in proportion as the educational 'jistitutions are choked, so the State is choked. A boomerang is being hurled that must inevitably turn its way back and cut the very vitals of our life. There are people in the Legisla ture who are fighting to prevent this, and provide adequately for our edu cational institutions. They must have support in this fight. They can't win without support, and with the proper sort of support, they can't lose. The State can't commit suicide. Those who would choke us can't resist public opinion. And here's what ' you can do, Mr. Student, write letters to whom? To influ ential citizens of your comn.unity, explaining in full the situation, and urging them, to write to their repre sentatives in the General Assembly. We have thirteen hundred men in college. Every man write at least ten letters making a total of thir teen thousand letters. Do this now. Don't do it in a hurry, but take your time and put the case up adequately, and it can't be refuted. The fight is not lost. It's up to the students to realize the power that they have in their hands, and exercise it now. All together let's send thirteen thousand letters into every nook of North Carolina during the coming ten days. NEW BOARD MEMBERS. We regret to lose from the TAR HEEL Messrs. Matthews, Hudson, and Proctor which have been compelled for divers reasons to quit this work. Instead of Matthews as assisant editor, Horner will fill this place. Horner has been on the Board since last spring, and has been one of the best workers during the past quar ter. He had , u jvuiuai- istie work before coming to the Uni-! versity, and is amply qualified to fill Tuesday, January 25, 1921. No. 31 the position to which he has been advanced. Kerr and Atkinson, who have been elected to be associate editors, have both shown up well in the recent nr rT .l j i - 11 I lar neei - coniesi, ana are weu qualified to do work of the first quality. Kerr is at present a Sopho more, and Atkinson is a Junior, en tering the University from Virginia Military Institute. - The contest, to fill the remaining vacancies will continue until others have justified their election to the Board. ANCIENT HISTORY. (L. D. SUMMEY) The first literary society was or ganized the third day of June 1795, under the name of "The" Debating Society," the first president was James IJebane, of Orange; the first treasurer was Lawrence Toole, of Edgecombe; the first Censor Morum, Ridhard Sims, of Warren. The ob jects of the society were expressed to be the cultivation of a lasting friendship and the promotion of use In 1824 occurred a flagrant out rage. A. A. and L. K. loaded them selves with whisky in the village grog-shop, and arming themselves one with a club and the other with a pistol, "sallied forth for the pur pose of attacking the persons of dif ferent members of the faculty." They committed "violent outrages" on two of the persons hunted. One of the first Carolina yells ran like this: Rah! Rah! Whitel Rah! Rah! Blue! Hoopla! Hoopla! N C. U. The eastern extremity of the ridge on which Chapel Hill is situated is like a promontory jutting into the I sea. It was by General Davie -,the "Father of the University," called Point Prospect. In old times it was ful knowledge. pronounced pi-int, and hence, the neighbors, seeing on its summit some lofty pines, mistook the name for Piney Prospect. In 1844 for the first time the North Carolina University Magazine was launched on the literary sea and had an honorable existence of one year. It was fathered by the senior class and edited by a committee. They produced -a very creditable journal. The magazine died for a lack of support. An amusing exercise of the art of hazing took its place. A number of students would call on a Freshman, dropping in casually as if without concert. Then one would tell an anecdote, followed by others. Fin ally the Freshman would be guiled into perpretrating a joke. Instead of laughing, each would gaze solemn ly and mournfully at the joker, with mouths wide open, loudly ejaculat ing, Ha! The discomfiture of the victims was painfully ludicrous. Dr. Battle's History of the University. The chapter of the Nautilos So ciety here held initiations for the hrst time Saturday night, January 16th. - The. newly initiated are: B. E. Lohr, H. H. Bullock, C. W. Fowler, H. S. Boice. J. L. Stucksv. and SO. B. 'Wells. The Nautilos So ciety is the national society of geologists. SYSTEM OF DENTING IS NOW INCORRECT Officers Are Installed in Phi Assem bly Irish Agitation Condemned Along With Mayor Hylan. Recommending that the University instead of the two literary societies should bear the expense of our inter collegiate forensic contestants, Speaker John H. Kerr declared in his inaugural address, that since the debating teams represent the Uni versity they should be financed by the University, and that the present debating council, which is an inter society organization, has only the right to contract for society debates. By passing unanimously a resolu tion empowering the speaker to ap point a special committee to confer with the president of the University, the Assembly, voted a thunderous ap proval of the speaker's recommenda tions. The committee which is to report to the assembly immediately on this question is composed of B. C. Brown, E. C. Journigan and D. L. Grant. The assembly passed a resolution 40 to 17 condemning the Irish agi tators who are coming to this country and also the recent action of Mayor Hylan toward Lady MacSweeney, the discussion of which brought forth varied and heated contests between the speakers. The other officers who were seat ed with Mr. Kerr were W. E. Horner as sergeant-at-arms, and P. A. Reavis, Jr., as reading clerk. In this column on December 17th we made the statement that: "Mr. Jasper L. Stuckey of the Geological Department of the University has "returned to Chapel Hill where he will take up his duties in the depart ment. Mr. Stuckey has been doing some very important geological work for the State Survey, making a tour of certain : sections of the state mapping the beds of certain minerals of geological importance." This is incorrect in that Mr. Stuckey is still employed by the N. C. Geological and Economic Survey and is now engaged in writing up his filed notes on his study of the structural materials of the State, which study extended over the entire summer and fall. Mr. Stuckey has Tfn' no relation now to the Department of Geology of the University except chat he will devote a part of his Mme to advanced geological work un der Prof. W. F. Prouty and perhaps some advanced courses in chemistry. Three papers were presented ai ;he last meeting of the Chemical Journal Club. The first by D. M. Carroll on "Nitration of Aromatic Hydrocarbons treated from a stand point of Physical Chemistry." B. rfaiman presented the second on 'The Manufacture of Tungsten." The third paper was discussed by I. W. Smithey on the subject, "Lang muir's Theory of the Structure of the Atom." The already existing interest in this subject was quite augmented by the vivid explanation of the speaker and the final discus sion of it by the club as a whole. Here Now!

This committee was elected to direct the students' fight for higher education in North Caro lina. Mr. Kerr stated that the com mittee had gotten in touch with the students of the other state institu tions for both boys and girls, and that they also had instituted a similar movement. He showed how, before the legislature met, by the co-operation of all the state institutions the facts about the needs of the insti tutions for higher education in North Carolina had been put before the people of the State. A canvass of mitti, the entire state was made during the Christmas holidays. Mr. Kerr stated that although the "University had gotten only $990,000 for a two year building program, when it ask ed for $5,000,000 to extend over a period of five years, that "the fight has just begun," and if it is carried forward for the next two years the state institutions will get what they ask for when the next legiJature meets two years henci.
