SEVERAL NOTABLES SPEAK The Carolina smoker held Wednes day night under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. in Swain Hall, kept prac tically the entire student body in a high state of boyish, and girlish glee frm soup to cigars. It warmed up as it went along, allowing the interest to drop for not a second, and Wind ing up with a bang in the form of a series of elaborate and humorous stunts. Dr. Noble opened the ceremonies with a little talk in which he men tioned the presence of the Co-eds as a thing which he had never had the ' joy of seeing in his college days. Then the Carolina Quartette present ed a few good old time sea-going songs which the audience warmly ap , plauded and encored. Two enterpris ing young boxers, who were evident ly very good friends, were next lured into the arena and they fought three blood-thirsty rounds to the huge de light of the deadlier of the species, who called time and again for a knock-out. They were disappointed. Also there was a tall boy and a short "girl" who danced (?). The man-i dolin club followed them and did ' nobly.

Encouraged time and again by the encores of the audience, they really endangered their lives to the common cause. They finally saw their folly and stopped in time. They will all recover but will never be the same again.

This pageant is to be staged in Wilming ton next June, and Dr. Koch will be an important aid to the committee in making the pageant a success. Dr.TCoch will deliver a lecture in Wilmington on Friday night of this week on the pageant and Cape Fear and North' Carolina life. Of course, this lecture will have direct bearing on the dramatic side of Cape Fear life, but it will also deal with the history of the section and the State. The Wilmington Star speaks of the pageant as "the biggest community project ever launched in Wilming ton." The pageant will be held dur ing the convention of the State Fed eration of Woman's Clubs in Wil mington. Much of the material for the book of the pageant was obtained from the historical works of Dr. James Sprunt. "Dr. Koch," says the Star, "has al ready approved the book of the Pageant and declares it a master Piece of its kind." SOUTHERN ORATORICAL CONTEST HERE TONIGHT Tonight the annual contest of the Southern Oratorical League will be held here with representatives from Johns Hopkins, the Universities of Virginia, South Carolina, Geor gia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, and the most of the prominent colleges of the South.

The winner of the first contest was a repre sentative of the University of Kentucky. Carolina was repre sented by William H. Bobmtt who came out in second place. Chapel Hill was designated as the meeting place for the sec ond contest. In the preliminary held some time ago to decide upon the man to represent Carolina in this contest D. Reid Hodgin won out.

The registration for this last quarter will 'be conducted alphabetically, that is: the students whose last name begins with A will register on a certain day, ana tnus until tne enure stuaent body is registered. The paying of the registration fees and other fees to the Treasurer may be either during the days of registration or during the week fol lowing the opening of the Spring term. These fees may be paid be fore this time if any one desires to do so. Generally there is always a large crowd lined up to get to the Treasurer during the registration period, and this extended time for the payment of fees will undoubted ly relieve the rush and the difficulty of the students in getting to the Treasurer's office when they desire to do. so. The schedule of the Winter Term examinations will be posted either on Friday or Saturday of this week. The date of the examinations for the different periods will differ from those of last quarter by one period. A complete schedule of the ex aminations will be poster at the reg ular bulletin board in Alumni dur ing the latter part of the week, and also in the Tuesday's issue of the Tar Keel. Patterson Explains Rulings Of Southern Rulings of Conference Include Migration Rule, the Three Rule. These Rules Are the Western Conference. (By A. H. The Southern Conference was born of a desire to repeat in the South the same success in developing in tercollegiate athletics that has at tendfid the work of the Western Con ference. The ideas underlying the Southern Conference are the same as those which have been tried out success fully in the Western and other con ferences. In other words, we are simply falling into line, with rules as strict, but no stricter, than those ob taining elsewhere. These rules are: The one-year rule, which prohibits any student from playing on a varsity team dur ing his first year in college; the anti migration rule, which prohibits any student who has represented a col lege on any of its varsity teams in an intercollegiate contest from going to another college and playing on the varsity team there; the three year rule, which confines the playing of a student on a varsity team to three collegiate years within a four year period; the amateur rules mak ing ineligible any student who has accepted for his athletic services as player, coach, manager, trainer, or in any other capacity, directly or indirectly, any remuneration, com pensatory gift, valuable considera tion or the promise thereof; the pro fessional and semi-professional rule, barring men who have ever played upon, or been members of teams named in Classes A. B. C, and D. in the sporting publications; and fin ally the summer baseball rule, pro hibiting a man from professionalizing himself by accepting a fake job in the summer time and playing sum mer ball, under conditions which clearly imply that the money is being received indirectly for the ball play- DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC Gilbert and Sullivan Comic Opera, Pinafore to Be Given During Spring Quarter.

STUDY ON CITIZENSHIP ISSUED TO SERVICE MEN The War Department has just is sued to the service men a study of Education for Citizenship that was prepared by Professors J. G. de Rouhlac Hamilton and Edgar W. Knight of the University faculty. The conclusions reached by the authors are based on close observa tion of several months concerning the principles and practices of army education, as now conducted under authority of section 27 of the Na tional Defense Act of 1916. The purpose of this study is to present to the service men directly and to others the necessity of being cor rectly educated in Citizenship, and '0 present to them the large part that education and its components play in molding the real citizenship of a nation. This study is to be presented to the National Education Association at their convention in Atlantic City this week by Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Knight.

Summer ball playing has been the greatest evil in athletics, the most insidious form of demoral ization of all ideas of true sport. Moreover, it wrecks scores of young men every summer, morally and physically, on account of the circumstances and atmosphere sur rounding the playing of summer ball. Of course playing in the summer time is not prohibited absolutely, nor is the taking of expense money for bidden, but permission to play must be obtained from the Faculty Ath letic Director in advance, and proper ly certified vouchers for actual ex penses must be submitted to the Faculty Committee before a man is allowed further to represent the college at which he is a student. If men do not care enough for playing ball in the summer time, to keep such accounts, they had best not play at all. Of course, the old question is often asked, "Why shouldn't a poor boy, needing money to pay his way through college, get it by using his talents as a ball player?" Perhaps he should, but he shouldn't then ex pect to keep some one else off the team who has not violated the ama teur rule. Earning money by play ing ball is a perfectly honorable method, but lying about it afterwards is detestable. Ex-Secretary Lane is ineligible for the Presidency because of his Canadian birth, but what would the country think of him if, in the effort to become eligible, he swore he was born in the United States?

DISCUSS HILL PROBLEMS The Harvard-Technology North Carolina Club held its first dinner of the year at The Parker House, Bos ton, Friday night, February 25, 1921. Hoke Black, '16, President of the Club, acted as toastmaster. The other alumni and former teachers present were: Professor N. W. Walker of the Department of Educa tion; Professor D. H. Bacot, former ly of the Department of History; R. F. Crouse, Robert Welch, Jr., E. L. Mackie, W. T. Polk, Samuel Ervin, Albert Coates, Marion Ross, B. H. Thomas, T. C. Wolfe, Samuel Fisher, and Holmes Herty. After a dinner which, thanks to the care of the president, was very en joyable, officers for next year were elected. R. F. Crouse, '16, was chosen president, and W. T. Polk, '18, Secretary-Treasurer. Then sev eral members of the club responded by short talks to invitations to speak. Professor Walker, though speak ing only a very few minutes, brought out vividly the fallacy of many North Carolinians, as evidenced by the atti tude of many representatives in the legislature, in assuming that appro priations for the University, as well as donations to any other educational institutions, were primarily for the good of the institutions themselves. He pointed out that the basic prin ciple of democracy is opportunity; that educational opportunity is the greatest debt of a state to its peo ple; that the object of the Univer sity is to do its utmost to offer this opportunity to the youth of the State; and that money appropriated to help it is that much spent primarily for the benefit of the State, and only secondarily for the institution itself. Hoke Black forcefully called at tention to the small percentage of students at "The Hill" from outside the State. Admitting that the Uni versity's main object should be to train the young men and women of North Carolina, he urged that never theless,, a' greater effort . should be made to altract students from out side the State, especially from the South; first, because Carolina was in a position to make itself a Southern university, and secondly, because a more cosmopolitan student body would have a broadening influence and would materially benefit the stu dents from North Carolina itself. President Black further comment ed on the fact that Carolina did not sufficiently advertise itself in other states through making known its leadership in more or less collateral activities; through evidencing a just pride in its success in debating; through properly claiming the honor for the big men it has produced; and in various other ways. He alluded to his own surprise at having learn ed some time ago that Thomas Hart Benton, Senator from Missouri dur ing the Clay-Calhoun-Webster period of our history, had been a student at the University of North Carolina. Whereupon Albert Coates, with his Coll ier Cobbesque memory as to people, informed the Club that, ac cording to the records, said senator had been expelled from the Phi So ciety on some such ground as having taken adverse possession of a water melon in which he had no property rights. The consensus of opinion, however, was that owing to Senator Benton's later valuable contributions to American political life, any charges as to his early waywardness, especially unless substantiated by proof, should be overlooked, and it was agreed with the toastmaster that he should be proclaimed as a distin guished son of the University.
