No. 33 E University Authorities Testify i Case of Delays Charged Against State Architect. CAROLINA TRUSTEES MEET Governor Cam Morrison in his message last week to the legislature sprung a pleasant surprise on the progressive members of the general assembly and the alumni of the Uni versity by announcing that he was squarely in favor' of the big bond issues for roads and educational pro grams. ."The man who whispers, 'Go slow, we haven't got the money,' is asleep and does not realize that we should use the credit of the state to take care of our institutions, de clared Governor Morrison. In his message he voiced the optimism which he feels for the future of the state. He emphatically stated his belief that the legislature should not be bridled by the state budget commission's recommendations. According to reports from the state capital there is developing in the legislature an insurgency move ment, started by the younger mem bers for the purpose of righting to the last ditch the older members of the legislature, the great majority of whom are reported as opposing the bond issues The appiopriations committee of the senate at its first meeting held recently, passed a motion stating it would stay within the state's income. It is opposed to taxing the people further and plunging the state into more debts. A number of prominent men Jin the state, chief among which is Mr. James Sprunt Hill, of Wilmington, have stoutly advocated the abolish ment of the state architect's office which is held by Mr. William Salter. Mr. Hill points to the dormitory under course of erection at the Uni versity as an object of neglect on the part of the state architect. Mr. Hill, who is a member of the building committee of the Univers-j North Carolina Collegiate Press As- die before vou are dead. Mr. Bob ity, charged that the building is to j sociation will be the bringing about bitt folIowed and concluded the even cost more than it would.

He cited the Phillipps Hall building at the University as costing between the above figures. Mr. Hill said that the contract for the dormitory which; was let last June would have been let much earlier had the plans been drawn promptly, and that the building which is now about seven feet out of the ground would have been com pleted had the state architect push ed. the work in a business-like way. Mr. Hill made a further charge of inefficiency against Mr. Salter, stat ing that by a few scratches of the pencil he had changed the capacity (Continued on Page Two) NEW BAPTIST CHtflGH SITE PURCHASED HERE New Church Is to Be Built on the Site of the Old Hotel on Columbia Street. Rev. Charles E. Maddry, Mission Secretary of , the Baptist Church in this State, was here recently making plans for 'the erection of a new Bap tist church in Chapel Hill.. The first site as picked by. Rev. Maddry was the J. W. Carristore site which he was unable to ;buy.; The .excellent location, nearness to campus ' finally caused him to decide upon the old hotel site on Columbia street, , which he purchased from Mr. W. S. Rober son for the sum of $8,000. A native son of Chapel Hill and a graduate of, the University is the claim that tliis town and campus has upon Rev. Maddry. He was raised some three miles distant from Chapel Hill. He is a prominent figure in the Baptist church, not only in this State, but in others. Rev. Maddry was pastor of the First Baptist church at Statesville, N. C. for five years. Then he was for some time connect ed with the Tabernacle in Raleigh. Later he was pastor of the Baptist Church at the University of Texas, in Austin. Last year Rev. Maddry was made Mission Secretary at the State Baptist Convention. Helping in building new churches is the type of work that Rev. Maddry does.

With medleys that most of us vaguely remember, and associate with the days of our childhood, the Pick orchestra entertained a full sized audience .at the regular .matinee Sat urday. . "Everybody's Doing It" was the first of the selections that startled and then vastly amused the assem bly. .Next came. a. rhapsody taken ostensibly from the Passing Show, of 1901. vThe saxophone, , in plaintive wails, punctuated by: an occasional drum1 beat, told the story of the in trepid , engineer .who met his death while sticking "brakely to his throttle as the Sante Fe limited ploughed through 'an empty freight and into the Grand Canyon. Needless to say the title was "Casey Jones." In response to persistent calls for encore' the Jazz Five gave a rendi tion which though , , scarcely heard above the din of a score of cat fights which took place simultaneously in the audience, might easily be dis tinguished as !???!?. The pic ture, which was entitled "April Fol ly," now reached a very melodra matic moment, and attention was all centered there. But the "Folly" part of the title must have had some ef fect on the. orchestra, for it struck up with something light and frothy, and consequently merely modern. Loud howls of protest were raised, and "Tipperary" was earnestly re quested, but for some reason it was not played. Perhaps the quintet will learn this new piece by next week and satisfy the connoisseurs in their evidenced desire for the ultramodern.' SENIORS HOLD FIRST OF Miss Hughes, Dr. Bernard and H. Bobbitt Are Speakers at Senior Revel. W. The Seniors Friday night held their first bacchanalian revel of the present quarter, the god Bacchus be ing banished Java was invoked to officiate at this Dionysian feast. President Berryhill opened the smok er by commenting on the past work of the Class of '21, and briefly sketch ing some of the feature tasks to be undertaken. The Swain Hall and i Gym Committee appointed before the Christinas holidays will soon make their report through the columns of The Tar Heel. Among the things which 'the seniors wish to accomplish are: A change in the ' athletlc Program of the University jn .. . effective ; the establishment of the Yackety Yack and Magazine on a sounder financial basis; and the estab lishment of open politics in campus elections. In this manner the class of '21 hopes to hand over the Uni ., . .. versity to the oncoming"1 generatior with the present senior s stamp of ... , .. . betterment upon it. The three speakers of the evening were Miss A- E- Hughes, Dr. W. S. Bernard, and W. H. Bobbitt. Miss Hughe3 told the class that the Co- pns n n nnr Tinitr onror inrn arn ino , -7 , " dents here and that the best remedy for this was through class spirit. Dr. Bernard, the principal speaker of the evening who needed no introduction to the class, said that the men of the senlor cIass have a greater outlook on llfe than most seniors usually have because in these times of terbulency they have lived more- The greatest th,n m llfe ls contacts; contacts with frlends. books, and games.

An honor such as is accorded to few University journalists was re ceived by Professor Walter J. Math erly of the School of Commerce when in the January 15th number of Industrial Management, a write-up of him and a picture of him were run in the Contributor's Column. Professor Matherly is Associate Professor of Business Administration at the University, and his articles in current periodicals have been receiv ing much attention here on the camp us and through the country at large. He has contributed many articles to Industrial Management, besides arti cles to. other publications. x To cap th,e climax, he has just finished writ ing, a hook which is receiving nation-wide attention, and of which the (Continued on Page Four) INTER-CLASS BASKETBALL SCHEDULE January 26, .Wednesday Seniors vs. Juniors January 27, Thursday Sophomores vs. Freshmen January 28, Friday Seniors vs. Sophomores January 31, Monday . , '.Juniors vs. Freshmen February 2, Wednesday Seniors vs. Freshmen February 4, Friday .Sophomores vs. Juniors February 7, Monday Seniors vs. Juniors February 9, Wednesday ..Sophomores vs. Freshmen February 11, Friday Seniors vs. Sophomores February 14, Monday Juniors vs. Freshmen February 16, Wednesday Seniors vs. Freshmen February 18, Friday ....Sophomores vs. Juniors Due to several changes since the publication of the inter class schedule last week, the above corrected copy is published for information of all concerned. t '' J THE ATHLETIC COMMITTEE, Campus Cabinet. ORATORICAL CONTEST HERE 11TH OF Kentucky, Virginia, Alabama, Geor gia, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt and Carolina to Compete. The Southern oratorical contest, perhaps the biggest forensic event in the University's schedule, will be held in Chapel Hill on March 11th coming, if the tentative plans just arrived at by the Executive Commit tee are adhered to. The regular date for this contest is during the first week in March, but this year, according to statement just given out by Professor George M. McKie, who is Secretary of the League for this year, several of the contesting insti tutions have agreed in asking that the contest be held a little later. The preliminary to select Caro lina's representative will be held some time during the early days of February, perhaps the 11th or 12th. Orations must deal with political, re ligious, or economic questions of cur rent interest in order to qualify for this contest. This is the second contest to be held by the Southern Oratorical League, which is composed of the Universities of Kentucky, North Car olina, Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, and Johns Hopkins and Vanderbilt Universities Last year the contest was held in Lexington, Kentucky, the seat of the Kentucky University. It is the plan of the League to rotate the place of the contests among the seats of the several members. The first contest was won by Ken tucky, and North Carolina took sec ond place, with Johns. Hopkins third. William H. Bobbitt, of the Class of '21 represented the University in that contest. Professor McKie is a per manent member of the Executive Commitee representing this Univer sity. OIALECTIC'S VOTE 001 LIGHT WINES AND BEER Few Speakers Rise to Defend Drinks of the Dear Dead Past. A resolution favoring the lawful manufacture of light wines and beer in the United States was defeated by a large vote in the Dialectic so ciety Saturday night after a lengthy discussion. The affirmative speakers, who were in the minority, contended that pro hibition is a rule of the minority, and purely legalized morality. They declared that it is a restriction of one's liberty that is unjustified on account of the fact that the use of beer and light wines is not injuri ous to the welfare of society, as is the case with whisky. It was claim ed that the sale of light wines and beer is the only solution for the pres ent liquor problem. The speakers on the negative argued that prohibition is a rule of the majority instead of the minority, citing the fact that the prohibition measure was passed in Congress by a two-thirds majority of represent atives of the people who are sup posed to represent their constitu encies. The proposed action was characterized as a step backward, and one that would open avenues to bring in stronger drink. The in jurious effects of alcoholic drinks was emphasized as one of the strongest points of the negative. j G. B. Porter and Thomas Turner upheld the affirmative, while the speakers of the negative were1 S. M. Gathey, G. V. Denny, W. E. White, J. M. Brown, W. E. Wiles, J. L. Apple and G. L.

PARKER, Jr.) The basketball team left this morn ing on what is believed to be the most extensive tour ever undertaken by a Southern quint. Eight players, Coach Boye, and Manager Person comprised the party that set out early today via the Carboro Limited. The team will remain away eleven days, during which nine games with several of the strongest fives in the East will be played. The Varsity set out with its full complement. The Law Examinations which tended to more or less de- moralize practice during the past week, and which were responsible for the absence of Liipfert at center in the Trinity contest are thankfully over, and the squad enjoyed a smooth and uninterrupted work-out last night. First Game With Virginia Charlottesville is the first stop. The team will arrive in time to play its first game with Virginia Tuesday night. A hard fight is expected as Virginia is reported to have an un usally strong quint this year. She has not lost a single game so far, and only last week snowed under William and Mary 46 to 15. From Charlottesville the next stop is Lex ington, where Washington and Lee will be met on Wednesday, and V. M. I. on Thursday. Both these teams have shown up well thus far. Wash ington and Lee defeated South Car olina twe weeks ago 33 to 11. Pap ers in commenting on the game stat ed that it was not even a good prac tice affair for the Minks. V. M. I., who was an important contender last year for South Atlantic honors, did not lose a single varsity man this year and their quint is already view ing with the much renowned foot ball team for its title of "Flying Squadron." Play Army at West Point Taking a long jump from Wash ington, after the Georgetown con test, the team will meet the Army at West Point. The Cadets also have a clean slate so far this season. This contest promises to be one of the most interesting of the series, as Major Boye himself was not so long ago captain of the Army quint. The Sunday lay-over will prob ably be spent in New York. Rutgers will be played Monday at New Bruns wick, and Yale on Tuesday at New Haven. The next jump will be to Annapolis for the game with the Navy on Wednesday.

Dr. Eric Abernethy in his report of the physical condition of the stu dents of the University during the past year reveals some interesting things. Considering the crowded conditions under which students have lived during the past year the general health of the student body was ex cellent. No serious epidemics occur red. During February and March of last year, when influenza was epi demic throughout the state, there was a total of 49 cases of influenza, 11 nf whirVi wpfa RorimiA. Thpra wna 1 one case of influenza-pneumonia. :A total of 831 students reported sick at the Infirmary during the year. Of this number 282 were admitted as bad cases, spending 833 days in J the Infirmary There were 58 serious cases as follows: Pneumonia 4, frac-1 tures 8, other injuries 12, heart lisions 3, paralysis 1, acute rheuma tism 1, sepsis 2, diabetes 1, nephrites 1, scarlet fever 1, hernia (acute) 2, 1 tuberculosis (contracted elsewhere) ' 2, ulcer of stomach 1, appendicitis 3, ptomaine poisoning (developing else-' where) 1, burns 2, epilepsy 1, middle ear infection 2, and influenza 10. Eleven students were sent home because they were physically unable to carry on their work, five of whom later returned. There were no fatalities. FRESH RISE UNRULY :IGHT BATTLE WITH SOPHS Fearing Danger to the Record of MacSwiney Freshmen Come Out to Eat and Fight. BOTH SIDES CLAIM BATTLE It hath come, and remaining with us but a scant week, hath now in deed departed from our midst. King Snow, bane of the Freshmen, and joy of the Soph's existence, made his first quantity appearance of th season last Tuesday And his debut was certainly all that could be ex pected, for disdaining all the prior flurries that purported to be snow, he kindly condescended to give us a sample of the real article. Eight in ches appeared to be the mean depth, but if one desired to truthfully ex aggerate he had only to poke his measuring' stick into some convenient drift and report with perfect veracity ' a depth of anywhere from twelve inches to three feet. Despite the fact that the snow was the heaviest in three years, its period of stay was remarkably free from the inconveniences usually incumbent with like visitations. Being of a light and powdery nature the im maculate substance did not adhere to the telegraph wires as is its usual custom, and consequently Chapel Hill was not entirely cut off from com munication with the outside world as was the case during the ice age in '17. Train service was interrupt ed very little, and the mail was usu ally up on time. Jitney service to Durham, though curtailed, was not seriously hampered. Usual Effect on Sophs From the first glance out of the window on Wednesday morning there reigned fear in one camp, and joy in the other. The class of '24 got its first dose of Carolina Spirit in tangible form as they attempted to get to breakfast at their various boarding places. Some few who missed the original introduction be cause they slept through breakfast caught it with interest at Gerrard Hall just before and after chapel. Then all the neophytes, whether pre viously christened or not, were endowed with the second degree at the post office. From mail time until dark the great Carolina spirit resolv ed into a rather intermitant affair, running mostly to skirmishes between scattered troops and an occasional pitched battle. The engagements of the first day resulted in remarkably few casualties. Only three black eyes were reported at the local infirmary. Freshies Are Aroused With the dawning of the second day, and no noticeable lessening of the quantity of ammunition, the Freshies who, as a mere matter of course, or better said, policy, had remained away from supper and the Pick, decided that something would have to be done, for if not, Mac Swiney's record would stand in grave danger; consequently some of the leading lights got busy, and lo! there grew organization out of chaos in the ranks of '24 But like Wrangel's anti-bolsheviki horde, 'twas truly all for nought. At Gerrard the attempt ed resistance to the prowess of the omnipotent Soph was as but sand be fore the flood. At the Post Office the exasperated Fresh were again subjected to the ignominy of becom ing walking snow men. It seemed as though the will of the Soph would be done. But there was yet a Joan, of Arc within the Freshman ranks. The Last Stand -. With methodical madness that had grown out of frenzied fury, the (Continued, on Page Four) WHAT'S TO HAPPEN AND WHEN Tuesday night, February 1, Episcopal social.
