No. 43 STATE CHAMPIONS AND To say that our basket ball team is the champion college team of North Carolina for this season only tells part of the story. It's creditable enough, however, to be the champions of the state. To our mind, it is the best athletic team that Carolina has had during this college generation. Some pronounce it the best basket ball team that Carolina has ever had. This means credit to somebody, whether it be the coach, or the captain, or a single, or all the members of the squad. We are not certain just where in this group we should stop to praise, but we do know that the result of the work of these mentioned the playing ag gregation is fine. We can sum up our estimates of, and pay our tribute to the basketball team by saying that "it is the master of the game which is its servant, and not the servant of the game which is its master." Too many Carolina teams have been choked to death by the game they were supposed to have mastered, while opponents have mastered the game and used it with facility. The former means defeat. The latter means success. On the long and intensive northern trip when the team played the strongest teams of the east at the rate of one every twenty-four hours, it clearly demonstrated that so far as playing ability and mastery of the game was concerned it had no peer, and so far as clean sportsmanship was concerned it had no equal. In- practically every one of the games the team clearly led at the end of the first half, but was unable to maintain itself be cause of a lack of time in which to rest and recoup. In every game played upon the "local court it was clearly obvious from the first whistle which was the better team on the court.. With speed, con fidence, mastery, and accuracy it was always a deadly aggregation, and at tained an excellence only infrequently attained in the game. Shepherd, who has well led this fine spirited group of men through the season, leaves the University after this year and will no more appear in the line-up. Hanby, to our mind, a finished product in the basket ball world, and who so masterfully played the position as guard and stands high in the number of points scored, will also leave after this year. Carmichael, the most artful and successful player of the team, has two more years at the University. He has already demonstrated that he is one of the best play ers in the south and stands high among the best of the east. With two more years in which to develop he should certainly become the greatest in the country. Mr. Editor: Now that the legislature has fin ally decided as to what amount of money shall be given the University and for how long a time the pro gram shall extend, it is to be sup posed that the students here will be interested in knowing what the amount is, and what agencies made possible the securing of this large sum. The University at first asked for $5,605,000 for a building pro gram to cover a term of six years, and a maintenance program from 1921 to 1923 inclusive, totalling $978,247. This was to be our part of the proposed twenty million dol lar bond issue for higher education The Budget Commission, whose task it is to recommend to the legislature what amount of money should be given the several public institutions of the state, and how long the grants should be valid, refused to accept the six year program, and recommended the retention of the two year pro gram. The commission gave the University a maintenance fund of $929,000 for 1921-23, as against $430,000 for 1919-21, and in place of the $5,605,000 building program for six years asked for by the Uni versity,. the commission gave only $990,000 to cover a building program of two years. Several days ago the recommendation of the commission was so amended as to add an extra million dollars to the original report covering the total recommendations made for all the state's institutions. Of this extra million the University receives half or $500,000, thus rais ing her total building program fund to $1,490,000. This $1,490,000 for building purposes plus the mainten ance fund of $925,000 makes a total of $2,415,000 which the University will receive from the state by 1923. It is safe to assert that an amount this large would not have been given the University had it not been for the fine work done by a large public spirited element of the state's citi zens, and the inspiring genius, the organizing spirit of these forces whn did battle so valiantly for the cause of our University and the public in stitutions of the state was none other than Frank Graham. He has de voted all of his time .energy and a great deal of his money during the last four months in the effort to car. jry the fight for higher education in to every phase of the life of the state. The victory won by the Uni 'versity at Raleigh, and it is a vie tory, is a fitting and lasting tribute to the organizing capacity and un- seihsh energy of Mr. Graham. feel that I can pay him no higher man i,u ascnoe 10 mm tne phrase which the French so devotedly characterize the efforts of their great war premier, Clemenceau: "The Or ganizer of Victory." JOHN KERR. The annual Fresh-Soph debate, which was scheduled for Saturday night has been postponed until im mediately after the Easter . holidays on account of the sickness of some of the speakers. Three of the speak ers are sick, and there is a wide spread demand for the postponement of the contest. NEW PLAYS PRESENTED JIT THE TAR HEEL PROGRAM. To be a medium for getting before the student body several matters for which we believe there is already widespread demand that the students have an opportunity to act upon, we are beginning in the next issue with the first part of a Tar Heel Program. We especially invite opinions from the students concerned regarding these things, and urge those who can be the source of action to bring these matters before the groups concerned for definite consideration, and de cision. If you approve of our suggestions, we shall be glad. If you have another method that is better than that suggested, we hope that you will submit it, and tf it proves to be better, we shall be glad to discard ours and support yours. All that we are after is correcting some things that should be corrected. This program we present not merely for the sake of a program, but because we believe that they are important and should be acted upon. It is far better to spend our time now in rectifying those things that need at tention so that the best possible working basis can be assured, than it is to wait until the year is over and then try to demoralize everything by cursing the results that may and can come out of current methods, which can be guarded against by the adoption of some new system. ' ' NEW BULLETIN ISSUED E BY PITTCOUNTY CLUB "Pitt County: Economic and Social" I. Title of New Bulletin by Student.. HANFORD SPEAKS TO STUDENTS IN CHAPEL Speaking in chapel Monday morn ing, March 7, Dr, Hanford of the Department of English, spoke on the curriculum and its relation to edu cation. He said that thn nil llMr ilium was designed to educate men but that a few managed to escape. He spoke of the value of a certain fundamental and instrumental courses that are required in the first two years of college as being a neces sary foundation upon which to build the superstructure of the elective courses that come in the Junior and Senior years. Dr. Hanford also talked of the value of the Bible from a literary standpoint saying that the Bible con tained some: of the masterpieces of literature. He spoke of the need for such a course in colleges and uni versities, but said it would be im practical to have such a course here. GULLICK MAKES TALK ON MUNICIPAL FINANCE Weaknesses in the financial ad ministration of the North Carolina cities and ways and means of im provement were discussed by J. G. Gullick in a report before the North Carolina club Mondav nicht vn tfca general subject of "Municipal Fin ance." The speaker first showed the cost of city government in North Caro lina, which,, in comparison ; with the cost of other cities, is relatively small. An analysis of our revenues was made which showed the weak nesses in our revenue system and showed what use we are making of our present sources of revenue. Af ter the defects were nointed out remeaies were suggested for each of tne defects. One of the needs stressr ed most was that of a system of uni form municipal accounting and reporting. "Pitt County: Economic and So cial," is the title of a Bulletin which, has- been gotten out by the Pitt County Club with the help of Pro fessors E. C. Branson and S. Vf Hobbs, Jr., of the Rural Social Science Department. It is now at Prof.. Branson's office ready for dis tribution. The Bulletin contains about eighty pages, and as the name implies is an Economic and Social Survey of the County. It is the ninth publication of the kind to be printed here by the County Clubs. S,. O. Worthington is Editor-in-Chief, and he was aided in the compilation by M. B. Prescott, J. V. Perkins, J. H. Spain, J. S. Moore, S. J. Husketh, and I. M. Little. There are eleven chapters in the Bulletin, covering the Historical Background of the County, Natural Resources, Industries and Opportuni ties, 'Facts, about the Folks, Wealth ana laxation, Farm Condition and Practices, the Three Leadine Towns: Greenville, Farmville and Adyen, Home Raised Food and The Local Market Problem, the Rural Schools. Things to be proud of, and County Problems and their Solutions. The Department of Rural Socinl Science can quote prices on Bulletins of this kind to all County Clubs in terested in getting them out. Wo. of this kind deserves hieh commenda tion, and the County Clubs would be a real power if they would undertake more often enterprises of thia or a similar nature. "The Reaping," "The Chatham Rab bit," and "In the Dixon. Kitch en," Chosen for Production. From .the six plays read at the author's reading Tuesday night, the three selected for production by the Playmakers April 29th and 30th are "The Reaping" by John Terry, "The Chatham Rabbit," by LeGette Blythe, and "In the Dixon's Kitchen" by Wilbur Stout. "The Reaping" is a tragedy of the social evil and is a play of a type not before shown on the Playmaker stage. "The Chatham Rabbit" is a play of University fraternity life, a comedy, and a very witty piece of writing. It pictures a senior who is supposed to be very bashful but to the surprise of all proves to be very much in the game when it comes to making a hit with the ladies. The third play is a country romance. It shows with a great deal of local color a courtship "In the Dixon's Kitchen." From this group of plays a very well balanced program should be pro duced, there is represented the society problem play, life in the college fraternity hall, and life on the farm. The manuscripts of the accepted plays will be placed on reserve at the Library Friday where they may be had by those interested in trying for parts in the casts. The tryouts will be held in Peabody Hall Monday afternoon. T SCHOOL NEEDS MORE WORKERS Work Begun by Frank Graham Twelve Year. Ago Ha. Tem porarily Ceased. Just twelve years ago Frank Gra ham began what is known as the ne gro night school and Sunday school. Mainly through his efforts these schools were put on a firm basis. Since that time they have been run continuously up until last year. On account of the death of the colored preacher, who lived in Potters Field, some time ago, the work has tem porarily been hampered and little progress has been made since. Self- supporting Y. M. C. A's. have been maintained in the past by those ne groes who were interested in the work, and will very probably be re newed again with the revival of this branch of work by the Y. M. C. A. of the University. The work of running these schools is in charge of the Y. M. C. A. cabi net, and H. S .Boyce is the head of this department. So far this year, the cabinet has been unable to get this work underway, but the plans are to continue both the night and Sunday school and to re-organize this branch of the cabinet's work. Frank Graham will, in all probability, help in reviving this work as Spring opens up. ' EXTE Professor of Education Edits Book let Entitled, "The Construe, tion of School House.." The Bureau of Extension has is sued a booklet edited by Dr. L. A. Williams, and entitled "The Con struction of School Houses." Dr. Williams says in his introduction that his purpose in writing this handbook on school house construction, is be cause of the vast amount of money that is to be spent during the com ing months in this State in construct ing new school buildings, and further because the officials who have the construction of these houses in hand do not have a book that they can consult from; they are able to ob tain the fundamental and correct features about school house construc tion. The class in administrative pro blems in the University Summer School of 1920 devoted its time to considering the problem of school buildings, and this bulletin is the re sult of the investigation made by several members of that class. The bulletin, says Dr. Williams, is intended only as a practical aid to officials in their efforts to render the tax-payers full value for their money invested in school building. The bulletin is meant as a prevention to wasting money in unwise building of houses. All the practical features of a building are taken up and the hand book is full of good sound advice on all those of building. Dr. Williams says in closing his introduction, "The only hope is that it may help to pre vent waste of public funds during those months before us when we shall be constructing our new temples of democracy." BAPTIST DEBATERS TO MEET TgE COLLEGES Wake Fore.t to Meet David.on, Bay lor Univer.ity and Mercer Uni ver.ity in Forensic Battles. (N. C. Collegiate Press News Service) Wake Forest, Feb. 27. Wake Forest will debate three colleges this snrintr. Davidson. Baylor University and Mercer University.' The first of these series of debates , will be atairpd with Davidson and will prob ably be held in Raleigh or Greens boro, having the subject, "Resolved That the United States should can cel the loans made to her allies dur ing the Great War," Wake Forest up holding the negative. The second debate with Baylor University will be held in Chattanooga, Tenn, be fore the Southern Baptist convention and has as its query, "Resolved that Dresidential and vice-presidential - candidates of. the several parties should be nominated by a national direct primary," with the affirm ative beine maintained by Wake Forest.

The Elisha Mitchell Scientific So ciety held its 27th meeting last Tues day evening, March 8. Dr. W. C. George of the School of Medicine de livered a paper on "Comparative Anatomy of the Brain." Dr. Otto Stuhlman made the second talk on "Some Unsolved Problems in Modern Physics." ' ' ' ' '" (Continued from page 1) order on the campus from John Paul to Freddy. Ogburn didn't make the mistake of the old man of Edenton. When he started killing 'em off he didn't stop at the luckless play-writer but got the prime instigator himself. The Co-ed act was a take-off on the "Vamp," featuring the original vampire, not as a vamper but as a vampee. Walter Hook held up the role of he-vamp flawlessly. The faculty played that old familiar tune "Five3 and Sixes" on a set of cul-' inary instruments, with which they will soon proceed to make hash out of many a budding young Phi Beta Kappa aspirant. Billy Noble raised the joyous throng to its feet and they all broke into "Hark the Sound." The meet ing then adjourned to Gooch's for refreshments. ' Just a minute! We almost forgot something. You ought to of heard Garland Porter mocking Collier Cobb better than Collier could of mocked himself. It was so good an imita tion that some folks could almost see the resemblance. OH! STRANGER PAUSE AND HEAR This is the sad, sad story of Mary Ann. Once upon a time Mary Ann was a blossom, a lily among weeds, a debutante, a thing of beauty, but alas that day has passed. Mary Ann is now numbered among the fallen. Oh! shed a tear for Mary Ann, 'cause hers is a sad, sad story. Time was when Mary Ann, who is three stories tall and built on the comfort-instead-of-speed plan, was a comely lass, the pride of U. N. C.'s campus. A kind lady named Smith sponsored Mary Ann and brought her up in the way all good little buildings should go, but how she has gone back upon all her training. How the mighty and the vain are fallen! Now all her lights are out. Now her physiognomy is battle scarred, and wrecked are her stair- . . . . . l ways. Mary Ann is tottering to ner grave. Her roof is leaky m spots; she needs a new coat of rouge and some silken hosiery, for like London Bridge she's falling down. And to tell the truth Mary Ann has lived a high life, as many a one-time fresh man can tell; she has trod the prim rose path and wobbled down the descent to Avernus, Mary Ann has gone to the bow-wows. - Mary Ann's insides are all out of order, too. A tonic will not cure her. what she needs is a drastic opera tion. .Her internal machinery is all clogged up,, because all and sundry have flung monkey wrenches, bicycle wrenches, pipe wrenches, left and right handed monkey wrenches in her (working parts, a sad, sad case is hers and bitter is her lot. Mary Ann's doors are off their hinges; Mary Ann's furniture is the junk man's property, and her water works has just plum gone to Ireland. She seems to suffer from acute obstruc tion of her pulmonary apparatus, malnutrition, and inflammation of her parlor, bed room and bath. (The last merely figurative, used through courtesy only) Poor old Mary Ann. Hers is surely a sad, sad story. We are moved to verse : She ain't one of oui pretty sights, She ain't got no window lights, Her walls are shot; doors all creak, Her stairway's busted; roof will leak, The way she's kept it is a sin, but She's a damn good building for the fix she's in.
