No. 67 IS BY DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT FREVALENTON CAMPUS No Hazing, No Bad Spirit Between Fraternity Men and Non Fraternity Men. ALL STUDENTS EQUAL In spite of the fact that the en rollment of The University of North Carolina exceeds the thirteen hun dred mark and in spite of the exist ence of chapters of fifteen national fraternities, several local petitioning clubs, and more than a hundred other organizations of various types or perhaps it can be said, because of these facts the University of North Carolina is one of the most demo cratic institutions in the state. The situation is truly remarkable. The student body is composed, of every type of man : book worms, idlers, the wealthy, the poor, the ambitious, the lazy, the bright, the dull. And yet the body is bound to gether by a strand of democracy that calls every man a gentleman until he proves himself otherwise and every man equal. It is the spirit of the campus a spirit that has grown out of years of successful student government, of years of athletic his tory, and of years back yonder when hazing was the order of the day, and when there existed always a pitched battle between the different factions of the University, between the non-fraternity element and the fraternity element. Today every Carolina man speaks to every other Carolina man whom he meets on the campus or on the streets. He does not have to know his name nor he does not have to be a personal acquaintance or a class mate, but it comes natural to a Car olina student to say "Howdy," or "Good Morning, Gentlemen," to his fellow students. It is a condition that the freshmen adjust themselves to every year, and when they leave Carolina the custom has becomp a habit, a fortunate and a happy habit. In fact, this speaking-to-everybody custom, has at last marked itself down as a tradition of the Carolina CampUS, anH it io one uf . mnet prided traditions. I remember the first time I visit ed the University, before I enrolled as a student here. I was walking across the campus and was surprised to have all the students passing speak to me as if they had known me for years, when, as a matter of fact, I was a total stranger to them. I latter asked a student from my home town about this and asked if I resembled a student so closely that they thought they were speaking to some one they knew. He laughed. "Oh, that is simply the way Carolina works," he said. "It is what comes out of a very gen erous democracy that exists here." Perhaps one of the first things that makes Carolina marked as an (Continued on Page 8) JILL ARRANGEMENTS ARE Weidmeyer Engaged, Invitations Mailed, Favors Orered, and Co operative Prices Being Fixed Final arrangements have been the eirls and gentlemen visitors have been mailed out, and everything prepared for the annual spring dances, which take place Wednesday and Thursday, June 15th and 16th, immediately following the commencement exer cises, according to "Billy" Carmi chael, Commencement Ball Manager. A few days ago cards were dis tributed about the campus, request ing those who intend to attend the dances to sign and return to the Ball Manager, for the purpose of de termining approximately how many will be able to buy tickets for the dances, in order to make the prices as low as possible. This system of co-operation points to a success,-and every indication is that 'the price of the dances will be considerably lower than usual. If a profit is made the proceeds will go to the German Club instead of to the commencement : managers as has been the custom in intra-society aeoas i u. the past, but the prices will be made and Philanthropic Literary societies, so that the split will be as nearly! the inter-society freshman . debate, even as possible. . j " inter-society sophomore debate, In spite of the prospects of lower the Mary D.

EACH MAKE A REPORT The Intercollegiate Conference on undergraduate government held at Massachusetts Institute of Technol ogy April 15th and 16th, was a suc cess in every way. One hundred and fifty-six delegates met and discussed the most important phases of under graduate government as represented by thirty-nine of the leading colleges of the country. . Through the efforts of Dean Brad- shaw and donations from several prominent alumni Carolina sent four delegates to the convention, namely, B. B. Lnpfert representing athletics: T. C. Taylor, student eovernment: W. A. Royall, dramatics and music clubs, and D. L. Grant. Dublicatinns. At the beginning of the confer ence Carolina, with the exception of one man form Virginia, was the Only Southern college represented which naturally placed a great responsibil ity upon her, for she had to repre sent not only Carolina, but South ern colleges in general. The first day the delegates were entertained royally with luncheon and dinner in the fraternity houses, and with conferences and a formal dance that evening. Student govern ment, college publications, and col lege athletics, were subjects for speeches made by some of the dele gates, and for general discussion. On Saturday many more confer ences were held by the delegotes in order to acquaint each with the workings of their own colleges, and many valuable discussions were heard by the assembly. In the even ing a formal banquet was given the delegates, and the session was closed. CAROLINA ENJOYS YEAR OF SUCCESS IN ORATORY Two Victories Are Won in Prominent Debates and Two Triumphs In Oratorical Contests With two victories in debating and two triumphs in oratorical contests, the year 1920-21 was one of the most successful that Carolina has ever en joyed in forensic activities. The com pletion of the inter-collegiate debat ing schedule this year left Carolina's entire record standing at virtually 70 per cent. won. In establishing this record, Carolina won 37 and lost 16. The debating program this year included a single debate with the TTnivprsit.v of Pennsvlvania. and a tri- anguiar debate with Johna Hopkins I University and Washington and Lee .University. In the first debate, al though Pennsylvania is the much larger of the two institutions, Caro lina triumphed over her big oppon ent by a unanimous vote of the five judges. Carolina was represented in this contest by C. T. Boyd, C. D. Beers, and T. C. Taylor. In the triangular debate, Carolina sent Daniel L. Grant and B. C. Brown against Johns Hopkins, and John Kerr, Jr., and T. C. Taylor aerainst Washington and Lee. Grant 'and Brown won over Johns Hopkins by a unanimous vote, but Taylor and Kerr lost to Washington and Lee by the close vote of three to two. In the oratorical contest Carolina was no less successful than in the intercollegiate debates. In " the Southern Oratorical contest, in which the leading Southern universities were represented, Carolina won first place. In this contest, Carolina was represented by D. R. Hodgin, who took as his subject "War Declared." In the State Peace, Oratorical con test, Carolina was represented by Phillip Hettleman, who captured the second prize. In addition to the inter-collegiate contests, the program for the year included a number of local contests, in which the members of every class were given an opportunity to show their ability. These included thp two TWO DAY SOUTHERN COLLEGES TO HE CLEAN SPORT Practically All Large Southern Col- leges Are Represented at The Southern Collegiate Conference.

Carolina's participation in the con ference and ratfication of the regul ations agreed upon will probably lead to a change in schedule, so that a majority of the games played by Carolina teams will be with South ern colleges who are also members of the conference. It is hoped by those favoring the new plan that the changed schedule will stimulate interest in games played with col leges outside the state, since a South ern championship will be put up as the goal, rather than the state cham pionship as at present. The following colleges and univer sities have ratified the action of the conference: Maryland, Virginia, V. M. I., Washington and Lee, North Carolina, N. C. State, Clemsdn, Geor gia Tech, University of Georgia, Tu lane, Auburn, Mississippi A. and M., Tennessee and Kentucky.

T HAVE SUCCESSFUL YEAR Editors of the Several Publications Have Even More Extensive Plans For Next Year Student publications at the Uni versity took a decided step forward during the year just past. The New Carolina Magazine, the outcome of a new management of the old Caro lina Magazine, took the form of a real periodical similar in form to that of The Literary Digest, with short stories, articles, editorials, and poems that were of interest to the students. The Tar Heel took a decided step forward when it became a semi weekly of larger size and more read able news. A new publication ap peared in the form of the R. O. T. C. official organ, "Utelm." During the; next year the New Carolina Magazine plans to appear anmi-mnnthlv. Tt Will. aCCOrdinfiT to William E.

"The innovation of a semi-month-, ly will' be a success," says Editor-in-Chief Horner, "The Carolina Maga- zine -published this year is the best that has been published so far, but we have to improve on it next year." Under the guidance of Jonathan Daniels and his board The Tar Heel hopes to surpass that of the (Continued on Page Four) CAROLINA CLOSES SUCCESSFUL YEAR IN ATHLETICS AND WINS STATE HONORS IN TWO SPORTS Two I Gi Year Building Program With ft of $1,440,000 Granted Uni versity by State. After a hard fight on the part of alumni, students, and people out over the State interested in general in the University and the other State educational institutions, a compro- mis of the appropriations bill was reached by the Senate and Budget Commission, and the University re ceives $i,44L,uuu lor a two year building program, to be proportion ally added to in 1923 if the money issued in this appropriation is spent wisely and carefully. i When hundreds of students had to be turned away from the Univer sity the past two years for lack of housing facilities, and when all the dormitories on the campus had to be filled with three and four students in the room, it was easily seen that a larger appropriation was necessary. A five year building program, calling for an appropriation of ten million dollars from the State for the Uni versity of North Carolina was map ped out and presented to the Legis- i-j. .i n i 1 lature ana oenate, ana tne com promise named above was finally pushed through and awarded the ef forts of the workers for the appro priation. The appropriation made by the Senate falls short of that called for by the original proponents ' of the bill. But until 1923 the money ap propriated to the University will be about all that can be spent, and the sum will go a long way in housing the students eliminating the crowd ed conitions now in evidene. Moirrtw ltnn. o mfioatiyo Hopn work ed for more .earnestlv nW harrier than was the appropriation bill work ed for by the students at Carolina, as well as hundreds of interested alumni and friends of the institu tion. The student publications join ed in the propaganda, and organiza tions contributed financially and with sheer work in advertisement of the need of the money at the Univer sity. When the appropriations made was first announced President Chase and President Foust of the North Carolina College for Women stood out for either open rejection or ac ceptance of the bills as first propos ed, making an appropriation of $20, 000,000, for the State institutions. But when the uselessness in holding out any longer to an agreement of this plan appeared so evident and assurance was made that at the end of two years all . the money would be allotted to the University of North Carolina that could be wisely spent, the presidents of the two in stitutions gave in.

HIGHLY PRAISED TEAMS Championships Won in Baseball and Basketball and Missed by Nar . row Margin in Track. ' When Carolina defeated Trinity in the last game of the baseball sea- . i t son, ana nung up a cnampionsmp not only in North Carolina but in Virginia and South Carolina as well. the Tar Heels closed one of the most successful athletic years in it his tory. , State championship honors were won in basketball and baseball, and missed by two-thirds of a point in track. Football was the only phase of athletics in which Carolina suf fered a really bad season. Baseball Season Highly Successful. Playing : twenty-one scheduled games, winning sixteen, losing four, and tying one, was the record that Fetzer's baseball charges made. This record seems all the more remark able when the long Northern trip that the Tar Hoels made is taken into con sideration, and in light of the fact that the schedule was one of the hardest and most difficult ever play ed by a Carolina baseball team. Coach Bill Fetzer, who came here during the winter term and signed a contract to take permanent charge of all athletics here in the future, to be assisted by his brother, Robert Fetzer, did his first work for Caro lina in the coaching of the baseball team this spring, and the highly suc cessful aggregation of baseball war riors that he turned out speaks well for Carolina athletics in the future. Coach Fetzer was blessed with an un usual amount of good material this spring, and he made the best of it. With Captain" ""Lefty" Wilson, Llew ellyn and Bryson doing the majority f the mound work, with an infield Donald and Morris, with an outfield of Sweetman, Shirley, Lowe, and with Roy Morris at the receiving end, Carolina shot through the season like an arrow. Heavy slugging was the long shot of Fetzer's aggregation, and during the season ten home runs were garnered off opposing twirlers' de liveries, besides an unusual number of doubles and triples. In the state, Trinity was defeated twice, Wake Forest twice, Davidson two out of three, and the Tar Heels split a two game series with State College, but the West Raleigh collegians readily conceded a well deserved state cham pionship to Fetzer's team. Football Only Mar of Year. Carolina's poor record in football was the only mar of an otherwise wonderful athletic year. In this sport the Tar Heels won only two games out of an eight-game sched ule, though all eight of the contest were real battles. Coach Myron Fuller, coming from Yal e, and Assistant Coach Clay Hite, from the University of West Vir- i ginia, arrived at Carolina in the early fal land with a squad of nearly seventy-five candidates began work in moulding a formidable football ag- gregation. The material seemed to niiiiougn mere couia oe added sev- eral more names for brilliant work at times during the season.
