Welcome High School Students to the University. Volume XXIX 'Baptists Cm UNIVERSITY BATSMEN P TO TUNE OF 4 TOO Morris and Company Were the Chief Contributor! to the Extra Bae Swat Column. LLEWELLYN HURTS ANKLE The Tar Heel heavy artillery got into action here Thursday and bat ted out a 4 to 1 victory over Mary land university. Morris and Com pany were the chief contributors to the extra base swat column. Casey putting out a homer and a double, and Fred a three-bagger. Wilson ghowed by far the best form of the season and pitched a beautiful game. Keene, who is reputed to be Mary land's ace, essayed to do the twirl ing for the visitors, is best offer ings proved but cannon fodder for the long-range Carolina batters, who garnered seven hits off his delivery, four of which were for extra bases. Maryland scored first in the second inning when Paganucci was safe on Wilson's error of his easy grounder, and scored on Pollock's long two bagger. Carolina retaliated in the third when McDonald doubled and scored on successive sacrifices by McLean and Fred Morris. The game was sewed up in the fourth when Roy Morris shot a long home run to the woods scoring Lowe ahead of him. R. Morris tallied again in the sev enth after he had doubled and was scored by a long sacrifice fly. Carolina's crack infield had an off day, registering six errors, which were somewhat atoned for however by a beautiful stop by McLean of a spectacular catch by Sweetman in hot grounder back of first, and a deep right of Bailey's liner which had homer written all over it. Goldstein, for Maryland, contrib uted a thrill when he raced back in left and robbed McDonald of a sure two-bagger. Carolina sustained a costly loss when Llewellyn fell over the running track and sprained his ankle. He will be out of the game for some time. Box score and summary: Carolina. AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

GAME SLOW AND LISTLESS A drizzling rain served to take most of the punch out of a slow and featureless game Friday in which the Florida Alligators went down to a 3 to 1 defeat before Carolina's slugging gentry. Rosman twirled his first game for Carolina, and the husky right hander was certainly there with the goods, keeping his hits well scattered and be coming invincible in the pinches. Carolina drew first blood in the third. McDonald singled, was forced around to thircl by two bases on balls and scored on a wild pitch. He scor ed again in the fifth on his walk, McLean's infield out, and Spruill's two-bagger. In the sixth, Shirley's double and Roy Morris' three bagger netted the Tar Heels third and last run. Many opportunities to score were lost by lack of a timely hit. Ten Carolinians were left on the bags. Florida's lone tally came in the seventh on hits by Hartman and Lid- don, sandwiched with an error and an infield out. The Morris brothers continued their vicious slugging. Roy contri buting two triples to the extra base record, and Fred getting a clean single. Liddon did the heaving for the Alligator clan. He was not only wild, but somewhat susceptible In pinches. He yielded up eight hits, and five bases on balls. The wonder of it is that Carolina didn't score more runs than she did, but perhaps the weather was to blame for that.

Fridav nierht under the shel ter of Davie Poplar the Senior Class held the first of a series of get together meetings, which will con tinue until commencement. At this meeting the class decided to give a Senior stunt some time in May. This stunt was aisconuuucu some time ago and since had not been revived. As a committee to plan this thing H. C. Heffner, chairman, P. E. Freen. Bill Royall, T. C. i'ayior, anu John Shaw were appointed. W. R. Berryhill, president oi me Class, made a motion that the class should go on record as favoring the abolishment of the President of the Senior Class as President of the Stu dent Council and the election of a man, entirely by the student body, as chairman of that body. The motion was carried. These meetings will be continued almost nightly in the future. shed I H M J Chapel Hill, N. C, INT EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS E Trend of Opinion Seems to Favor Tar Heel's Plan of Action. JOHN KERR DISSENTS The matter of holding earlier elec tions has been the object of consider able discussion recently and in order to sound the opinion of the different elements of the student body repre sentative men have been approached on the subject and asked to state their position on the matter. These men expressed themselves as follows: F. R. Lowe, who, as president of the Athletic Association, is in charge this year of the athletic, Tar Heel and Athletic Association officers elections savs: "I am in favor of earlier elec tions where it is practicable," but points out cases where earlier elec tions would not be expedient. An ex ample he gave is the case of the elec tions for manager and assistant man agers of the baseball team. If these men were elected before the end of the season the assistant not promoted might fall down on their job. There are a number of elections that he is in favor of holding earlier, and he thinks that separate elections for the manaeers of athletic teams at the close of the season would be a mat ter worthy of consideration. Forrest G. Miles: "Earlier elec tions will afford the successful can didate to familiarize himself with the inner-workings of the organization he is going to head. He will have something to work on in planning improvements for the next year and will have ample time in which to pre pare himself for real leadership." John Kerr: "The latter part of May seems to me to be soon enough to hold these elections. I am oppos ed to the suggestion that immediate ly following the election of these men the government of the campus should be turned over to them for administration. True it is that these new officers should be made familiar with the obligations of a public ser vant before assuming control, and I believe that the manner of familiariz ing the new officers with their duties should not assume the nature of turn ing over campus affairs to them as soon as they are elected, but rather that they should sit in council with the present authorities in the capacity of lookers-on for the rest of the scholastic year. From the latter part of May until commencement ample time is provided these new officers to learn the duties of their respective offices." W. R. Berryhill: "The plan of earlier elections is a decided step for ward in campus life." H. E. Fulton: "I favor earlier elections of all the class officers in order that they may get their new policy worked out while they can have the assistance of the retiring Student Council:" C. W. Phillips: "I believe that elections should be held earlier so that the new officer can get a new line on his work and so that there can be no interim during vacation." W. H . Bobbitt: "It is obvious that the plan of earlier elections would be a progressive step, the manage ment of student affairs." J. W. Daniels: "Earlier elections will make it possible for a man to get a better grasp of the position he is to hold the succeeding year by as sociation with the retiring officer in that position.

Tuesday, April 12, 1921. n Tense Diamond FAR HEEL COMPILES IDEAS OF STUDENTS ABOUT OPEN POLITICS Eleven Men Practically Come to Same Agreement on Subject of Open Politics. EXPRESS VARIOUS IDEAS Parallel with The Tar Heel en- nouncing itself as favoring open poli tics on the campus a campaign has been carried on to get the opinions of representative men concerning this problem. As a result the fol lowing statements were received: According to W. R. Berryhill, open politics would be detrimental to the institution in the case that vigorous campaigns, stump speeches, and the such would result. Publi cation of the candidate's achieve ments would be in order. T.C. Taylor makes the following statement: "For the last two years I have argued for open politics on the campus. Not only am I unable to see how bringing a thing that exists out in the open would be harmful, but it seems to me that this is the perfectly logical next step." "What is needed is a few indi viduals in the lower classes with suf ficient courage to announce their candidacy, put forward a vigorous platform or program and then run openly and above board." Speaking of the workings of poli tics John Kerr says: "Class officers should be nominated on the same plan as is used by the Athletic asso ciation. Nominations for class offi cers should be held one week, and the elections should be held in the following week. During this inter val of .a week, I would suggest that the records of the candidates for president and vice-president of the classes be published in The Tar Heel, thus providing for an intelligent choice between, the several candi dates, a method of selection so vi tally necessary for the continuance of good government in a democratic community. It is my belief that any such scheme which calls for cam paign speeches and announcements of platforms would be detrimental to the cause of good government." Phillip Hettleman makes the fol lowing statement concerning the point at issue: "Under our present system there is a general lack of knowledge by voters of the fitness and capacity of men nominated for office. The chief advantage of open politics lies in the exhibition of the various candidates' abilites." "I do not exactly know what their plan is for open politics," said Wil liam H. Bobbitt in an interview. "But if it means that a man should nom inate himself and then push his own candidacy by stump speeches I am opposed to it." H. E. Fulton makes the following statement: "I favor ample time be ing given between nominations and elections and also the publication of the records of the candidates." F. R. Lowe touches a new phase of the subject when he advocated (Continued on Page Four) DELEEATES CHOSEN TO COLLEGE CONFERENCE Four Men to Go From Carolina to Meeting at Massachusetts Tech, April 15th. There is to be held at The Massa chusetts School of Technology at Boston. Mass., April 15 and 16, conference of a number of the col leges and universities of the country for the purpose of discussing Student Self-Government. The University of North Carolina has been asked to send representatives to this conference The conference will discuss four main questions, namely, Student Govern ment. Publications, Dramatics and Music, and Athletics. The Univer sity has accepted the invitation and as a result of the nominations made in Chapel Thursday morning and the election which followed, the following men have been elected to attend this conference: F. R. Lowe to represent athletics, T. C. Taylor to represent Student Government, William Royal to represent 'Dramatics and Music and Daniel L. Grant to represent pub lications. H SWEETMAN STARTS RALLY IN NINTH THAT SNATCHES CONTEST FROM FIRE; MORRIS STOWS IT IN REFRIGERATOR TO Tennis Team to Compete in North Carolina Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament at Greensboro. The University athletic authorities have accepted an invitation to send the varsity tennis team to Greens boro to compete in the North Caro lina Intercollegiate Tennis tourna ment to be held in that city, April 27 to 30. Plans concerning the tournament have been discussed by the State tennis association, under whose auspices it will be held, for the past several weeks and it is definitely decided to hold the tournament the above mentioned dates. Charlotte made a bid for the tournament. The matches are to be played on the courts of the Greensboro Coun try Club which has hospitably offered the use of its courts to the players. Greensboro was picked as the logical place for the tournament both by reason of its geographical location and on account of the interest in the sport displayed by Greensboro citi zens. This interest has been a great factor in the success of the All Comers State tennis tournament which has been staged in Greensboro for the past several years. Year be fore last Dr. P. H. Winston won the State singles championship in Greensboro. It is planned by the State tennis association to hold an j intercollegiate tournament each year , and it is thought the affair will be held in Greensboro each year. Besides the University, Trinity, Wake Forest, Davidson, Guilford and Elon will also enter teams, each of four men, in the tournament. " Sleep ing accommodations for the players have been arranged by the Country Club and will be furnished free to the players. It is the belief of officials of the State organization that the quality (Continued on Page Four) HI E. C. Jernigan and G. C. Hampton of the Philanthropic Society De feat Dialectic Team. In the annual Inter-Society Sopho more debate, held in the Di. hall Sat urday night, the Phi. team, composed of E. C. Jernigan and G. C. Hampton, defeated W. C. Mitchem and G. L Donnelly, of the Di. society by a unanimous vote of the judges. The question discussed was, "Resolved, That the primary law in North Car olina should be repealed," the win ning team defending the negative side of the question. The contest was judged by Profs. A. C. Mcintosh, W. W. Pierson, Jr., and G. A. Harrar. The speakers on both sides showed considerable preparation and handled their arguments in such a way that held the interest of the society. The rebutal was especially spirited. The chief arguments of the a'' firmative, composed of W. C. Mit chem and G. L. Donnelly, were that the law is not needed and that the primary system has greater defects than the old system. Asserting that the primary plan is not working sue cessfully, they pointed out it does not represent the people as well as was intended, that it does not give better government and that it costs too much. They also insisted that there is not a demand for it by the people, and that a large part of the people do not participate in it. The negative first traced the evolutionary growth of government toward self-government in order to show that the direct primary is the next direct step forward in the direc- tion of self-government. Their four reasons for upholding the primary were that a large part of the people do not use the primary, that it is not more expensive than convention sys tem, that the repeal of it would be unfair to the women voters, and that it is more democratic and expressive of the will of the people. Why Not South Atlantic Championship. CY No. 51 Classic Struggle One of Season's Most Exciting Replete With Gasps and Thrills. REAL AIR TIGHT FIELDING Wilson and Barnes Neither Up to Mid-Season Form Team Shows Up Well. (By BOB GRAY) Sweetman's single in the ninth Saturday stopped the Wake Forest team from packing up its bat-bags, Morris' proferred base advanced him to second. "Lefty" Wilson tied the score with a grounder through Barnes, and "Casey"' Morris brought the bacon home in the eleventh frame, when he parked the horse hide on the front porch of a Wake Forest professor. Carolina, 4 ; Wake Forest, 3. It was a bad game for heart trou ble. All of Carolina's runs were brought in by hits which came after two men were out and in one in stance when there were two strikes on the batter. Carolina started the scoring in third when McDonald, McLean, and Fred Morris slammed the pill for as many singles, McDonald and McLean scoring on Morris' hit. Wake Forest tied the score in the fourth when Jeannette got a hit, Ellis bunted and then stopped the peg to first with his head, and Dun- can scored both with a single. Wake Forest jumped into the lead in the seventh when Sax Barnes with an outfield hit scored Rairsdala who had reached second on an error. Caio lina was unable to do any business in the eighth spasm. Lowe, first batter in the ninth slammed the ball vigorously away into left held but it was garnered inn by the eager fielder Shirley de parted in the same fashion.,. Sweet man to the bat. Strike one, strike two the crowd had risen to its feet and was filing from the grandstand, bets were being collected CRACK Sweetman had singled to right. The crowd stopped, looked and lis tened.

Two down and two strikes, Barnes grinned from ear to ear, tied himself into a bow knot and eased one across, a second later the smile froze on his face forever, lor Morris, stepping back from tVa plate, caught the ball fair on the nose with the tip of his bat and sent it wending its weary wav into tho han. py land of dreams.
