Sophomore Smoker Tomorrow Night. rm IE Weil Lettures By Professor Munro Begin Tonight. Volume XXIX Chapel Hill, N. C, Tuesday, April 19, 1921. No. 53 TIE mm OF 5 ORATORICAL CONTEST 1". L. Warren and F. A. Grissette of Di and Dan Byrd and W. E. Horner of Phi in Contest ATTENDANCE IS SMALL ' The Junior Oratorical Contest was Won by T. L. Warren of Lenoir, who gpoke on "Liberty and the Blue Laws' last Saturday night in Gerrard Hall. This contest is held annually by the Dialectic and Philanthropic societies; the winner receives a medal given by Julian S. Carr of Durham. 1 Each society is represented by two men from the Junior class, this year the men from the Di were T. L. Warren and F. A. Grissette; from the Phi, Dan Byrd and Wm, E. Horner. That no legislation can change es sential and inherent liberty, and that the ideal commonwealth was reached not by legislation alone, were the principal points in Warren's speech. His talk was much broader and more inclusive than his title. F. A. Gris sette, also of the Di spoke on "The Race' Problem of the South;" from the Phi Dan Byrd had for his sub ject, "Training for Citizenship," and Wm. E. Horner had "A Plea' which was concerned with gerrymandering in North Carolina. Considering the importance of this event the attendance was very poor. B. C. Brown of the Senior class, who won the medal last year, presided. The judges were Professors Hanford, Harrer, and Proudy.

D. Dorset is Elected Business Man ager of The Carolina Magazine by Dialectic Society. OF THE UNIVERSITY DIES Dr. Alexander B. Hawkins '45, of Raleigh, Passes Away at Age of Ninety-Six. . The election of Edwin Matthews as editor-in-chief of the Yackety Yack, and J. D. Dorsett as the busi ness manager of the Magazine, was the chief features of the regular weekly meeting of the Dialectic so ciety. Both of these elections were unanimous. - The' resolution "brought tip' before the society for an open forum dis cussion was: "Resolved, That the action of the Interstate Commerce Commission in fixing the intra-state rates in North Carolina wa3 unwar ranted." The discussion was rather lifeless, only three men talking, E. V. Benbow and C. F. Hunt for the negative, and W. H. Bobbit for the affirmative. The decision was ren dered in favor of the affirmative by a vote of fifty-four to forty-three. W. E. Wiles gave an interesting talk on the life of Marion Butler, telling how he rose to the United States senate, giving the details of his political career, and his connec tion with the Farmers Alliance. Wiles ended with a review of the controversy about the North Caro lina bonds, in which Mr. Butler was involved. He explained his position and defended his action, stating that at present this worthy alumnus of the University is practicing law in Washington. J. V. Ervin, business manager of the Yackety Yack, presented an amendment to the constitution to the effect that there be no associate edi tors of the Yackety Yack elected; but that they be appointed by the editor-in-chief and the two business managers. Ervin stated that as a rule the associate editors did not work, and that the editor-in-chief and the business managers were more able to select those fitted for the po sitions. He said that this year he had found it necessary to appoint other associate editors in order to get all the work done. This amend ment will be voted on at the .next meeting. The oldest alumnus of the Uni versity, Dr. Alexander B. Hawkins, died at his home in Raleigh last Thursday, at the age of 96. Up to the last six weeks Dr. Hawkins had maintained his vigor in a degree re markable for one of his age. Since that time he had been failing rapidly, and his death was not unexpected. Dr. Hawkins was born in Frank lin County, January 25, 1825, the son of Col. John D. Hawkins, d prominent citizen of that region. He received his A. B. degree here in 1845, and his M. D. at Jefferson Medical College, 1847. After prac ticing medicine for ten years in War ren County, he moved to Florida, where he lived until 1890. Since then he has lived in Raleigh. Dr. Haw kins gave up his practice at this time to take care of his many business interests. After his graduation, Dr. Hawkins was very much interested, - in the growth of the University, and has been its champion on many occasions. He kept up with -the late drive for funds, and several letters were re ceived from him about it During the last few years he has made sev eral trips to Chapel Hill. His grand son, William Bailey, graduated here several years ago, ard at present is practicing law in Raleigh. , Playing excellent ball throughout, and materially aided by the major league pitching of Moore and the timely hitting of Al Johnson and Pittman, the Freshmen won a. ten. inning pitchers battle by a 2 to 1 score from Oak Ridge last Saturday afternoon on Emerson Field, j yl - Oak Ridge, with a victory over Davidson to their credit, were by far the favorites; but Fred Patterson had a surprise for them in the form of his resurrected second team and newly discovered pitcher, Moore who serenely fanned seven men and al lowed but s,ix .scattered hits. Phil lippie, the twirler from Oak Ridge, also had the stuff, and he did not hesitate to strut it. He fanned four men, and held the Freshmen to five hits; these five, however, were enough to do ,the trick. Al Johnson, who had his batting clothes on," cap tured three' of them, and Pittman made two. Wlien these two. slug gers managed to hit in the same in ning the story was told. Oak Ridge got the lead in the see on when Richardson reached first through Woodard's error, went to second on a sacrifice by Hood, and came home on Rouse's single. In the fourth the Freshmen tied the score when Pittman singled, was sacrificed to second by H. Johnson, Dodderer walked, Woodard hit a grounder and was thrown out; then occurred a juggling combination of bonehead plays which ended with Pittman scoring. For the next five innings the score remained the same, both pitchers get ting in some tight places but always managing to safely extricate them selves. In the last of the tenth, with one out, Moore reached first through Smith's error, and got to third when Al Johnson doubled. Fox was caught out by Rouse. Then with two out Pittman singled bringing Moore home for the necessary tally." Box score and summary: : Carolina: AB. R. H. PO. A. A.

' Order blanks from a costumer in Philadelphia have been obtained and orders will be taken at the Y. M. C. A. Monday, the 18th, for any type of costume desired to be rented for the occasion. Further information about costumes will be furnished by J. LeGrand Everett or Robert Proc tor. A number of out-of-town girls have been asked up and it is expected that many will come in costume and masquerade,, but it is to be in no wise exclusive as everyone is invited. The general admission charge will be one dollar and all profits will go to the Carolina Playmakers' Theatre fund.. Tables will be reserved for those bringing girls. Application for such tables must be made to Buck Wimberly, LeGrand Everett, Jona than Daniels or John Shaw before April 26th. Music will be furnished by the University Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Paul John Weaver. Mr. Richard Crozier and his daugh ter, Miss Dalores Crozier, of Raleigh, N. C, well known for their delight ful dancing in many such entertain-1 ments given in Raleigh, have accepted an invitation to dance two numbers here. An attractive program has been arranged and the following numbers will be given between the dancing and serving of refreshments: 1. Dance, "The Skaters," Dr. Rich ard Crozier and Miss Dalores Cro zier. 2. Buck Wimberly, by himself. 3. Tumbling, University gym team. 4. Modern dance, Woodword Wil liams and partner. 5. "Dance of the Clowns," Dr. Richard Crozier and Miss Dalores Crozier. 6. Satyr Figure, Dramatic Order of Satyrs. 7. Grand March with Favors, En semble. The last number before the grand March, the tapping of the new Satyrs, will be one of the most attractive features. George S. Wimberly has been elected leader of the dance and John Shaw and Jonathan Daniels have been chosen as assistants. If this proves successful it will be made an annual event on the social calendar at Carolina. With the combined attraction of the seventh series of Carolina folk plays today and Saturday evenings, the baseball game with N. C. State Saturday afternoon and the carnival Friday night a delightful week-end is anticipated. TO BEEREGTED SOON Camp and Railroad Spur to Facilitate Speed in New Building Program. Chapel Hill's success in the broad jump, the final event of the day, en abled this school to win by a small margin last Friday the biggest inter scholastic track meet that has ever been held here. Greensboro, which seemed at the beginning of the con test the certain winner, followed close and the winner was not de cided until the last event in which Chapel Hill's first and second place left them a margin of three and a half points over Greensboro. The score was as follows: Chapel Hill, 31; Greensboro, 27 1-2; Bur lington, 17; Oak Ridge, 16; Friend; (Continued on Page Four) A large construction camp is to be erected just off the campus for laborers who will be employed in working on the new buildings that are to be put up according to the building program. A spur of the railroad will run up to one end of the campus, to bring materials in without unloading. Several hundred laborers will be employed in this work. The need of new buildings is so acute that all the new ones are to be built within the' next 18 months. With this large camp, and the rail road spur much time can be saved in the work. The construction com pany that has the contract will fur nish the laborers, who will most like ly be foreigners. Work on the camp and the spur will start some time (Continued on Page Two) was still there and that the David son defeat had come largely as the result of a general off day. Trinity drew first blood in the sec ond, after having lost an excellent chance to register in the first when Carson and Neal singled in succes sion, but died on the bags when Spikes grounded out to McLean. The initial tally came as the result of Cole's getting on base via the bingle route and then scoring when McLean heaved the ball over third. Carolina waS " quick to retail iate, however, and came back in the same frame with two runs. Spruill beat out a pretty bunt to first, went to second and third on successive passed balls. Then Car roll settled down and fanned both Lowe and Sweetman, but walked Casey Morris. Both runners scored when Ormond errored Wilson's hot grounder. Carolina registered again in the third. McDonald walked and scored on McLean's slashing two-bagger. Fred Morris advanced McLean on his infield out, and things looked good for another tally, but Shirley fouled out, and Spruill, after drawing his base on balls, was caught out steal ing second by Carson on a chance Peg. Trinity annexed her second run in the sixth .when Carson reached first on a clean single, and scored on Spike's texas leaguer and Shirley's error. . Spruill contributed another to the Tar Heels' run column in the eighth, when he singled, his third for the day, and scored on Sweetman's time ly drive to center. Neither pitcher was at his best. Wilson, who has always been regard ed with terror by the Methodists, allowed seven hits, while Carroll be sides allowing a like number of safeties, also walked five men. Both fields worked well behind their pitchers. True Carolina made her usual contribution to the error column, but they were well scattered and not the variety that resulted so disastrously in the Davidson contest. Spruill was the outstanding star for Carolina, while Towe's work at short, and Carson's clever handling of the Trinity receiving department featured. Carolina AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

Greensboro was represented by James Hendri and Allen Stainback, who made a strong plea for collective bargaining through trade unions against the neg ative team of Durham. This is the second time that Durham has won the contest. This debate was the culmination of one of the biggest State-wide con tests that has ever been conducted by the High School Debating Union, and was heard by what Secretary Rankin said was probably the largest crowd that ever heard such a con test here. These teams had fought their way through the ranks of at least eight hundred high school debates, repre-.... senting two hundred schools, begin ning in the local triangular debates and climbing successfully through the first and second preliminaries here up to the final contest. 1 The affirmative advocated collec tive bargaining .on the grounds that it is right in principle and that it is a natural outgrowth of our industrial system that is necessary to the wel fare of the workers, while the nega tive insisted that it was undemo cratic, un-American, and unnecessary. The contest was judged by Profs. H. M. Wagstaff, L. P. McGehee, L. R. Wilson, George Howe, and Archibald Henderson. Prof. W. S. Bernard presided over the exercises and Mr. E. R. Rankin acted as secretary. The Aycock cup was presented to the victorious Dur ham team by Prof. H. H. Williams with appropriate remarks. Prof. M. S. Noble, in his original way, pre sented the track trophy cup to Chapel Hill, the winners of the inter-scholastic track meet, and the individual prizes to the winners of the various track events. The teams winning places in the second preliminaries on the affirma tive were as follows: Sanford, Scot land Neck, Calypso, Greensboro, High Point, Mt. Olive, Chapel Hill, Wash ington Collegiate Institute, Leaks ville, Goldsboro, Gastonia, Kings Mountain, and Durham; and on the negative, High Point, Scotland Neck, Greensboro, Rock Ridge, Henderson, St. Paul's, Durham, Louisburg, Con cord, Washington Collegiate Insti tute, Chapel Hill, Tarboro, and Golds boro. It will be noted that Scotland Neck, Greensboro, High Point, Chapel Hill, Washington Collegiate Institute, Goldsboro, and Durham each had two teams in the second. The schools sending debating teams to Chapel Hill for the contest were Black Mountain, Bladenboro, Burgaw, Calypso, Candler, Chapel Hill, Churchland, Columbus, Concord, Durham, Falling Creek, Fayetteville, Gastonia, Glade Valley, Goldsboro, Grifton, Harmony, Henderson, High Point, Huntersville, Jonesboro, Kings Mountain, Leaksville, Lenoir, Louis burg, Marshville, Maxton, Monroe, Mt.
