SCHOLASTIC FACTS PI
ui
Better Standing Among Both Fra
ternity and Non-Fraternity Men
During Last Quarter.
Dr. Thomas J. Wilson, the regis
trar, has recently announced some
' interesting scholastic facts about Uni
versity students. At the end of last
quarter The Tar Heel carried the
standing of the various undergrad
uates, both fraternity and non-fraternity
students. Below are the
scholastic standings of the Winter
term.
The relative standing of one hun
dred and eighty-five fraternity un
dergraduates at the end of the fall
quarter was 3.7006. At the recent
compilations of winter term scholar
ship the relative standing of the fra
ternity undergraduates was 3.3701.
The relative standing of the non
fraternity students at the end of the
fall quarter was 3.4858. For the
winter quarter the standing was
3.4402;
The number of fraternity under
graduates on the honor roll for the
fall quarter was 5. For the winter
quarter it was 14. Ninety-eight non
fraternity men were on the honor roll
of the fall quarter, while 101 were
on the honor roll for the winter quar
ter. The Delta Tau Deltas seem to
lead the list of fraternities in schol
arship, with the Zeta Psi's second.
A more complete account will be
published about the standings when
they are fully arranged. I

UntiP the April meetins of the trus
tees, frequent petitions for self-government
had been denied, the trus
tees and students being unable to
agree upon any plan mutually accep
table. Early last fall a committee of stu
dents composed of E. W. Constable,
chairman; W. R. Wearn, secretary;
O. A. Zachary, W. S, Mann, B. D.
Barr, A. R. Morrow, and W. C.
Eagles, all members of the senior
class, quietly started to work on the
proposition. The systems in use in
nearly every institution in the Ui:ited
States were carefully studied and a
constitution embodying the best prin
ciples of each;' together with sjme
original features to suit local con
ditions, was drawn up and submitted
to the trustees.
During this time a special commit
tee from t'.ie trustees had carefully
investigated the problem and had be
come convinced that a wjrkabln sys
tem could be inaugurated at the col
lege. With a few minor changes the
plan submitted by the students was
adopted.

CORRESPONDENCE COURSE
FOR BACKWARD
STUDENTS.
Students who wish to take
University courses for credit
while away from the campus
this summer may do so. The
University Extension Division
now offers correspondence
courses in the following sub
jects: Economics, Education,
English, History, Latin and
Mathematics. Additional courses
will be developed this fall.
The quality of instruction by
correspondence --is equal in '
every way to classroom work
and carries the same amount :
of credit toward degrees. Each
student receives the individual
attention of the professor giv
ing the course.
Students who are behind a
course or two can make this
up by taking correspondence
work this summer. Also those
who wish to earn extra credit
may do so. All students regis
tered in the University as well
as anyone capable of meeting
the entrance requirements are
eligible to take correspondence
courses. Students who are not
to return to the University next
year may continue their educa
tion by taking courses through
the University Extension Di
vision. . Further information and ap
plications for correspondence
courses may be had in Mr. "

OLD T CABINET MEET
Van Noppen Gives Advice to Suc
cessors and Tells What the "Y"
Stands For.
As is the customary practice, the
newly elected Y. M. C. A. officers and"
next year's cabinet met with the old
administration forces Sunday after
noon for the purpose of going over
and thoroughly discussing the work
for the coming year. Like the de
ciples of old they met out on the
hillside with their advisers in the per
sons of Mr. Frank Graham and Par
son Moss. About twenty-two men
were present in all. Secretary Phil
lips made a few remarks on the work
of the past year, its successes and its
failures, its outlook, its hopes and
posibilities. for the future. He told
the men that above everything else
they should love the Y. M. C. A., that
it is up to each individual member
of its administration to give to the
campus the best service possible in
every form possible by untiring ef
forts and by doing everything in tho
best way possible.
Retiring President Van Noppen
also made a brief talk of encourage
ment and advice to his successors.
He spoke on what the Y. M. C. A.
is, what it stands for, etc. Stating
that it should not only serve, he also
said that the "Y" should realize its
name Youth, Manhood, Christianity
Associated. President Van Noppen
then turned the meeting over to
President-elect C. J. Williams, who
called for discussion from all depart
ment with department head as lead
ers. Several men took part, includ
ing Mr. Graham and "The Parson."
Eats of a varied assortment were
served, thus making the meeting
pleasant as well as informational.

TWENTY-SIX LETTERS
AWARDED TO ATHLETES
Athletic Council Makes Letter
Awards in Baseball, Tennis, and '
Track.
At a meeting of the Atheltic Coun
cil on Monday night, May the 23rd,
the N. C. awards for the track,
baseball and tennis players was
made. There were twenty-six letters
awarded to regular participants in
the athletic contests of these three
sports, and three managers were
awarded letters.
Those players who received letters
for work in baseball number 12 and
are as follows: Morris and McGhee,
catchers; Llewellyn, Bryson and Wil
son, pitchers; Spruill, McClean, Mc
Donald and Fred Morris of the reg
ular infield; Sweetman, Shirley and
Lowe of the outfield and Manager
William H. Ruffin, Jr.
The following track men received
letters for excellence in that sport.
Excellence and general fighting abil
ity. Sinclair, Hardin, the captain
of next year's team; Captain Bill
Royal of this year's team; Ranson,
Smiley, Fishel, Yates, Parker, Aber-
nathy, Norris and Manager Murchi
son. This is a large number of track
letters awarded, but the work of the
track men, who were handicapped
several times during the season, by
the illness of the regular coach and
the seeming lack of material, has well
merited it.
Tennis enthusiasts will be inter
ested to know that five letters were
awarded in this sport. Tho men re
ceiving these letters wers Captain
Jernigan, Bret Smith, T. W. Haw
kins, B. H. Bardin and Manager Wade
Gardner. These four men have placed
tennis in the realms of a real sport
at Carolina, and their choice arises
from the exceptional ability of their
playing during the recent varsity ten
nis tournament here, and at various
tennis tournaments in Greensboro,
and in Virginia. Hawkins and Smith
won the State championship in ten
nis doubles recently at the State inter-collegiate
tournament in Greens
loro. Bardin has been a consistent
and steady worker in tennis since his
stay at Carolina, and has been re
cently elected manager of next year's
team. Jernigan, who is considered
by many to be the best player on
the squad, is a player with abil'ty
to stick and fight it out in all the
games.
This is the last series of awards
that the Athletic Council will make
before the football awards of next
fall. The letters for .football and
basketball of this year wer-j awarded
at the end of these season?. No steps
have been taken by students towards
obtaining gold baseballs for the base
ball team, though some talk hia been
heard of the possibility of this. Th:
team was really a wonderful one, and
it will no doubt be of interest to
students to know that all the men on
the squad with the exception of Cap
tain Wilson, will return to col.ege
next year.
MOB SPIRIT BREAKS
OUT ON THE CAMPUS
High School Game and Tau Kappa
Alpha Initiations Causes of Re
cent Outburst.
The mob spirit which has been ly
ing dormant since the snowball fights
suddenly broke out Monday, when
law and order were over-ridden at
the ball game and on Chapel Hill's
main street. Perhaps the oppressive
heat caused this outburst of radical
ism or the wild and infectious cheer
ing of the Winston girls might have
temporarily upset the normal dig
nity and conservatism of the cam-
pus, but at any rate that mystic thing
known as the "Carolina Spirit" was :
conspicuous by its absence.
This was first apparent at the ball
game. When the game began some1

SENIORS IrIL GIVE A BIG
BARBECUE ON CLASS
Also Decide to Present an Exedra
For Arboretum as Parting Gift
to University.
In the intervals between violent
bull and in the midst and through
the process of mild bull, the senior
, class at its last smoker held at the
A. T. O. Hall on Tuesday evening
decided that it would not attempt
another dinner dance after the fash
ion of the one given by the class of
1920 because of the conflict of this
with the faculty reception given to
the graduating class and to visiting
alumni, and to adopt in its stead a
barbecue and bevo tapping. This bar
becue will be held on class day, Mon
day, between the morning exercises
of the class in Gerrard Hall and the
late afternoon services under the
Davie Poplar,
The relic that the class decided to
leave behind as a gift to the "dear.
mother" that shall stand as a re
minder to those that came after us
of what used to be, is to be an exedra
to be. placed in the arboretum. There
are very few works of art on the
University campus, and the class of
1921 hopes to turn the attention of
the classes to follow to such simple
gifts as this that will make handsome
gifts and will go a way to beautify
the University grounds. The other
alternatives under consideration was
that the gift should be a bust of Ex
President Graham, to be placed in the
lobby of the Graham Memorial build
ing, when erected; or a statute of
some illustrious character connected
with the life of the University to
be placed at the entrance to the
grounds; or a fund to be loaned to
needy students. All of these latter
proposals gave way to the exedra
after some discussion.
Dr. John Manning Booker was the
only member of the faculty present,
and talked to the class in, as he said
ha had been instructed, "a lighter
vein." After some delightful enter
tainment, the speaker changed the
note of his talk long enough to pay
tribute to the class because of its in
terest in and contribution to campus
citizenship.
The other two speakers of the even
ing were Bob Gray of the Sophomore
class and a member of the , Tar Heel
board, ; and Buck Dimberly of . the
Law School. Bob spoke on "I Love
-khe University," while Buck gave his
"Casey at the Bat," and the retort
thereto.
LOCAL CONTRACTORS NOT
DENIED RIGHT TO BIDS
Contract to Protect the University
Against War-time Cost, Plus
Building Costs.
President Chase has issued a state
ment answering the representatives
of the North Carolina Builder's Ex
change in their protest to Attorney
General Manning against the form of
contract drawn up by the building
committee and advertised by Thomas
C. Atwood, construction engineer of
the committee.
Dr. Chase denies that North Caro
lina firms have been excluded from
bidding for the contract, and as
serts that they stand as good a chance
as the out of state builders in ob
taining a contract for University con
struction. This is the jist of their
complaint as set forth in articles re
cently published in some of the state
papers, with the added complaint
against the one contract policy of
the building committee.
He goes further in saying that the
plan adopted by the building com
mittee will mean a saving for the Uni
versity, and he asserts that no kicks
have been received by authorities
from state builders. "The job is wide
open," says President Chase, "and
the project has been advertised only
in North Carolina papers." Both
of one contracting firm. Such a firm !
operating on so large a contract can
maintain a sequence of operations
which will place the construction on
an orderly and regular basis. This
will also lower the cost of construc-
tion and cause the completion of the
work to be on time, says President,

-SALEM LOSES
TEST
TO RED OAK SLUGGERS
Western High School Lads Smother
ed by Easterners in Hard Fought
But One Sided Contest
ERRORS ARE RESPONSIBLE
Red Oak easily defeated Winston
Salem, in the high school champion
ship game, on Emerson Field, Sat
urday, by a score of 8 to 1. The
Red Oak sluggers scored their runs
in the fourth, fifth, seventh and
eighth innings. The Winston-Salem
team scored their only run in the
first. Edwards on the mound for
Red Oak was superb, allowing only
three blngles and giving only two
free passes to first. In addition he '
fanned nine men and contibuted a
timely single. . Johnson pitching for
Winston-Salem did excellent work in
the box, but had poor support from
his team, especially the catcher.
J. T. Jones, one of the spectators,
had some ball playing family, hav
ing six grandsons on the '.. team.
Nearly every player on the Red Oak
team is either brother or cousin to
the other men, there being six' men
on the team related to each other.
A double by Schiedt and a single
by Johnson in the first frame brought
in Winston-Salem's only run.
Red Oak staged a rally in the
fourth, when Edwards, walked and
later stole second. C. Jones walked
and a pretty sacrifice by Beal ad
vanced both. A passed ball by Sapp
enabled Edwards to cross the platf;.
The fifth inning was Red Oak's
best inning, the sluggers scoring four
runs. A passed ball, three wild
throws and a single by Edwards tell
their own tale. The large number
of scores made in this inning was
due largely to the fact that John
son was not supported poperly by
his catcher.
Red Oak scored another run in the
seventh, when B. Faulkner made
first on Wilson's error and was
brought in' by a beautiful Uiple
