No. 36 CAROLINA FORGES ITS WAY TO SEMI-FINALS IN MEET AT ATLANTA Cart Carmichael' Team Classed Best Looking on Floor, Defeat Howard and Newberry. HOPE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP With the University of North Car olina basketball team classed as the best looking quint on the floor, the Tar Heels were steadily fighting their way into the finals of the Southern intercollegiate basketball tournament Sunday. "Cart" Carmichael's team took out two leading contenders in the first two rounds. Howard went down be fore the machine, 35 to 21, and New berry, who had previously defeated Howard University, went out Satur day afternoon by a 32 to 27 score. Kentucky, the winner of last year's championship, went down before Mercer. Georgia defeated Vander bilt by one point. Chattanooga Uni versity let Tulane out and Tennes see took out Mississippi State with a one point win. From the first whistle Carolina was superior to Howard. At no time during the game was the team seri ously threatened. C. Carmichael led in the scoring, shooting three field goals and fifteen out of 20 chances from the foul line. McDonald and Perry also played excellent games. ' The tale was different in the New berry game. The South Carolinians took the lead, and then Carolina took it. From then until the end of the game the score see-sawed back and forth, and pnly Carolina's ability to dribble through a strong defense gave them the victory. Excellent passing and team work featured the game on both sides, and the victory was one of the hardest fought of the tournament. Cart Carmichael again led with four field goals and six out of nine fouls. Washington and Lee, one of the strongest teams in the South, failed to show up and forfeited their chance to win the Southern honors. Ken tucky was eliminated early, after get ting away to a good start, and that put the last year's champions out "of the, running. Auburn went down to Newberry in the first run, and that team went back home. Vanderbilt is out. Wofford went down before South Carolina, as was expected. Carolina defeated The Sandlappers. easily earlier in the season, and if the Tar Heels draw them for the semi-finals the going should be easy. By defeating every team in the state by safe margins, and all the s. L F WON BY VICTOR V. YOUNG Annual Junior Oratorical Contest With Men from Di and Phi Held Saturday Night. CAROLINA STANDS 6000 T F! COLLEGE ATHLETICS IN Motherly Makes Study Of Cost . Of College Education At Carolina INTERESTING SUBJECTS (Continued on Page Two.) Victor V. Young, of the Phi, by a 2 to 1 vote of the judges, won the Julian S. Carr medal for the best speaker in the Junior oratorical con test held in Gerrard Hall Saturday evening. This contest is held annu ally between two representatives from each of the societies. Leonard Epstein and Victor V. Young represented the Phi, and George W. McCoy and J. P. Trotter the Di. The speeches of the first three gentlemen named were shot through with material and themes of like nature. All three speakers strong ly insisted on international cooper ation being the only solution for world peace. Leonard Epstein, the first speaker, had for his subject, "America's Op portunity. "America's closer cooper ation with the other nations of the world," was the keynote of his ad dress. One step towards this, he urged, would be America's entry in the coming Genoa conference, there by making a great contribution to the world's economic prosperity. America's cancellation of all foreign debts, he insisted, would aid tremen dously, in bringing about trade sta bility. "Peace by Evolution," was the sub ject of the second speaker, Geo. W. McCoy. He said that world peace could come only through a gradual evolutionary process. "Limitation of armaments and the League of Nations are the only media of world peace," he said. He urged that people be edu cated in international brotherhood. Victor V. Young, the third speaker, had .for his subject: "Milestones of Peace." "Peace can come only through international "cooperation," was the keynote of hs address. He strongly insisted that it must come only through successive contributions to,' ,the initiaTVou.rse, He .said that limitation of armaments was the first step in this gradual evolution to wards peace. He insisted that the League of Nations be the final mile stone. "Ideals," was the subject of the last speaker, J. P. Trotter. He said Coach Fetzer's Squad Under Strict Training Rules in Preparation for Durham Event. MORE THAN 75 MEN OUT er than to permit its routine to deal that there were three worthy ideals I with men as colorless units. More than 25 men have come oat for track in the last few days as a result of Coach Bob Fetzer's request. This is an increase of 60 per cent., and brings the total number of men out for the sport up to 75. With this increase in new chance for carrying away honors in the State indoor meet at Durham in the Star Brick warehouse March 10, has improved. As the date set for the indoor meet in Durham approaches, much interest as to its outcome is being manifested both by the student body and alumni of various colleges throughout the state. This contest will not only be a contest between the colleges of the state, all of the larger ones being represented, and a few of the smaller ones, but high schools, Y. M. C. A.'s and military teams will also compete with rivals of their class. Efforts are being made to secure the entrance of every National Guard company in Carolina. Little difficulty is being met in getting h;gh schools and Y. M. C. A.'s to enter. Coach Fetzer put Inn men under College Representatives Make Clear Meaning of Rules of the S. I. A, ; 'at Atlanta.

The main purpose for the calling 'of the meeting was to take action upon a request from General Pierce, President of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, for information as to the prevalence of professional ism in inter-collegiate athletics, and a statement from the members of the conference of their opinion of the advisability of an investigation of inter-collegiate athletics by the Car negie Foundation. The conference replied that it was their belief that in the South the regulations of the S. I. C. recently put in force were ample to protect colleges against professionalism in their districts, and that the confer ence was not in favor of any investi gation by outsiders.

Carolina Smoker In Burst Of Hilarity Tosses 18th Amendment Into Discard Various Student Stunts at Well Attended Annual Event Show Forbidden Hootch is Held in High Favor Med. School and Freshman Stunts Good Law School Gets Smutty. (By Bob Picitens.) The Annual Carolina Smoker, held each year under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., was pulled Friday night, with a large crowd present. A mark ed absence of smoke, and the Law School stunt, featured the hilarious evening's sport. Swain Hall has seen many things pulled in its wide and spacious ex panses," and Swain has often heard many jokes, good and bad, pulled, but some of the stuff the law school pulled made even the sophistocated walls of the old dining room shudder with distaste, and faculty members apologize to their wives for bringing them to hear such stuff. Never in the history of the Uni versity, certainly not since those who are here have been here, have drink ing bouts been staged with such tell ing effect and realism as was true at the Carolina smoker. Even the ma ligned playmakers built up their stunt around a cedar tree under which a whole bottle of glycerine had been hid, and in due time found by Sip Van Twinkle. Both Van and his dog got uproarously drunk. That started things off. The freshman stunt, pulled by one tall man and two long sticks, was the best thing of the evening. Roar after roar of laughter chased each other all over the dining room as this freshman talked convincingly on how to elect a president of the stu dent body from the freshman class. With each striking and far reach jig gesture the man's arms grew longer, and with each lengthing the crowd grew more uproarously tickled. The sophomore stunt was remark able for a lack of sophomores. "Funny" Fulton was the only sopho more to be seen. It must be admitted for fairness sake that the sophomore stunt, as given by juniors, seniors and graduate students wa3 one of the most enjoyable things of the night's entertainment. The co-eds got away for a good start, but several things, to be ex plicite, four in number, or two pairs, nearly broke the show up, for which one cannot blame either the audience or the co-eds. Any familiarity with the co-ed house leads one to believe that the characterization as given by the fair ones is positively true. Ed Sweetman was the star in the co-ed act. ','' The junior stunt was fair. Much drinking, represented on the stage by a series of "Gurgles Gurgles" and exceedingly loud talking, featured. To really enjoy the junior take off of the publications, the play must be read and not heard. In truth, it is a closet drama. The senior take off came along is due time, and was another drinking bout, represented of course. With each member of student council rep resented by men with placards ap- At the beginning of this year, the president requested the Executive Committee, consisting of W. S. Bernard, P. H. Daggett, F. P. Gra ham and F. F Bradshaw, to make a study of ways in which the Univers ity may best keep in touch with in dividual students. The study of this committee has involved a survey of the situation here, and correspond ence with other institutions, includ ing Pennsylvania, Chicago, Michigan, Virginia, Illinois, Minnesota, Mis souri, Kansas, Cornell, California. Nebraska and Dartmouth. The most outstanding fact learned from this correspondence is that ev erywhere there is the same problem, and most of the letters from the oth er institutions conclude with the re quest that they be furnished with the results of the study of the committee here. The first result of the committee's study was a meeting last week with the committee on Educational Policy consisting of President Chase, Pro fessors Carroll, Coker, Daggett, Howe, Knight, Pierson, Royster and Walker. At the meeting the ex ecutive committe presented for the consideration of the larger group all the possible solutions for the prob lem including those gained from the other institutions and those suggest ed by the local situation. None of the proposals were urged, and no conclusive action was taken. The meeting was simply a ground-clearing affair, and effort was made to get acquainted with all possibilities pre vious to selective discussion. Among the suggested possbilities were the following: a closer contact through personal methods such a9 entertainment of students in faculty homes, and participation of faculty in student organizations of which they are already members, thus furn ishing an element of continuity. Sec ondly, through the administrative machinery, providing for an advisory organized and equipped to do it them selves and would do so.

Bombarding the many false ii pressions students have of the coat of boarding at Swain Hall and the big money made there every term, President Chase spoke in Chapel Frit day on the high cost of living in education and with enthusiasm he declared that Swain Hall made only $413.00 last quarter which is about 20 cents per student. He declared that the board was reduced for this month in an attempt to keep from making any money and also to try to reduce the price of board which it is felt is far too high. President Chase also reviewed the changes that have come about dur ing the twelve years that he has spent here on the campus. He said in part, "Twelve years ago there were only 800 students enrolled in the Univer sity and the state was appropriating only $75,000 a year; now there are 1,600 students and the state is ap propriating $450,000. This is three times as much as was appropriated 12 years ago. Tuition has remained unchanged during this period of 12 years, and there has been only a slight increase in room rent. He further brought home to the students clearly the fact that the heavy end of education here at Car olina was borne by the state of North Carolina. President Chase literally amazed the students when he told them that the Etate put five dollars in to the University for every dollar the students pay for education here. "We ought to feel that the state is bearing a larger share of expense in education than the students, and we ought to understand that higher education is a sort of contract be tween the students and the state of North Carolina," said President Chase in convincing the students of the state's generosity during these later years. Dr. Chase concluded, "Your responsibility in the matter is to take advantage of the opportunity offered you here by the state, and measure -ip to your moral obligation education cannot be imposed on you as some things, but the state throws the atmosphere around you and the great decision must come from you."

What does it cost students per year to get an education here at the University of North Carolina? With the idea of securing an answer to that question, I made an investigation of the matter in connection with our study of family budgets in economics 1. I requested each student in the class to hand in a budget of his per sonal expenditures for the school year, holidays excluded, in the fol lowing order: board, room rent, tui- dry, organizations, and recreation and amusement. I also asked each student to state his class, the school in which he is registered, whether or not he is a self-help student, and whether or not he is keeping an ex pense account. I urged the students to use the greatest care in preparing their budgets and to try as far as possible to eliminate all errors. I promised them that every budget would be held in the strictest confi dence and that no figures given out would appear in connection with any student's name. The results of this study are suf ficiently interesting, it seems to me, to be given publicity. Consequently, I pass them on without comment to those who are interested in the cost of education to Carolina students Thirty-four budgets were handed in. Of these, 20 were from the penditures of the 32 students grouped according to the variations in the amount spent: 8 students spent 2 spent between . 11 spent between. 6 spent between . 3 spent between . , above. . . .$950.00 $850.00 & $950.00 $750.00 & $850.00 $650.00 & $750.00 $550.00 & $650.00 2 spent below $550.00 The following table gives the aver ages for the various items listed in the budgets: Board $241.00 Room rent 45.00 Tuition and fees 99.00 Clothes , 175.75 Books 21.00 Laundry 25.50 Organizations 22.60 Recreation and amusement. . 135.00 If the individual items are totaled, it will be noticed that the amount does not equal the average for the whole group stated above. This is due to the fact that various students did not follow the standard form given them. They either included ad ditional items such as railroad fare, or turned in their items in more de tail. Consequently, only the standard items were averaged, including such other items as were meant to come under standard items. If all the other items listed in the various bud- School of Commerce, and 14 were ,ets were averaged, they would make from the School of Liberal Arts. Out of the total number, 8 kept expense accounts. Several of the others ex plained that they kept a half-way ac count by the use of stubs on their check books. There were 29 sopho mores, two juniors, one senior, one freshman, and one special student. There were six self-help students. Two of the 34 students were co-eds. In tabulating the items in the bud gets, two budgets had to" be thrown out, due to the fact that they were not comprehensive enough to be worth very much. Hence only 32 budgets appear in the final results. The highest cost for the year was $1,201.18. The student was regis tered in the School of Liberal Arts. The lowest cost was $500.05. This student was also in the School of Liberal Arts. The average cost for the whole number was $825.89. The students in the School of Commerce ranged in their expenditures from $575.00 to $1,188.00. The students in the School of Liberal Arts showed a slightly greater fluctuation in their expenses, ranging as has already been indicated, from $500.05 to $1,201.18. The average for the students in the School of Commerce was $803.42. The average for those in the School of Liberal Arts was $863.08. The following table shows the ex- up the ditlerence of $bl.l4 between the total of the individual items and the average for the whole group. There are two or three other things that are significant. The two co-eds in the class both run above the aver age for the whole group, one spend ing $12.91 more than the average, and the other spending $271.01 more than the average. The only special student in the class spent something like-$270.00-more than the average. The self-help students all spent much less than the average, the lowest ex penditure in the whole group being that of a self-help student, The two-, juniors-and one senior in the class" do not vary : very much from the average. From this study it will be seen that there is a big difference between the actual expenditures of Carolina stu dents and the estimates in the cata logue. The catalogue states: "The annual expenses need not exceed $400." This estimate, however, does not take into consideration three large items shown in the above table, viz., clothes, organizations, and amusement and recreation. Deduct these items from the student's bud get and his annual expenses would be $431.50, only slightly in excess (Continued on Page Four.) KEN TRACK SCHEDULE SIM LAHUT Manager Murchison at Work on, the Most Extensive Program in Years. Six dual meets, one indoor meet, and participation in the Southern, South Atlantic, and State meets is the lay-out for the 1922 track team according to the tentative schedule announced by Manager W. C. Mur chison yesterday. The schedule, as compared to that of last year, is much more extensive. The only feature of the last year program lacking on the present one is the elimination of the dual meet wtih Virginia, but this is more than made up for by the ad dition of the pending dual meets with Wake Forest, South Carolina, David son and Ulemson. The State meet will be held this year at Trinity about the first week in May, and will be followed by the Southern meet in either Atlanta or Athens during the middle of May. The date for the South Atlantic meet, which will be staged at Char lottesville, has not yet been determined. The schedule as announced is only tentative, and is Eubject to change, as follows: April 1: N. C. State at Raleigh. April 10: Trinity at Chapel Hill. April 15: South Carolina at Co lumbia (pending). April 18: Clemson at Clemson (pending). The time and place for the Wake Forest and Davidson meets has not yet been agreed upon. BOB FETZER ASKS FOR Appeals to Students to Help Make University Track Team the Best in State. In a stirring appeal Coach Bob Fetzer spoke to the students Thurs day morning in Chapel about the big indoor track meet to be held in Dur ham on March 10th. Coach Bob said "This is the biggest thing that has been pulled ' off in North Carolina in years, and we are sadly behind in track athletics the athletic program is started now and1 I want you students to go and try to make a track team; I know that there is athletic ability in this student-body if we can only discover it and I urge you not to shirk what I consider your duty to your Uni versity and to your state." He fur ther stated that Trinity had about 70 men out for this sport and State College over 50 men out to make some place on the track team. Coach Bob declared that he was very anxious to see this program put across in good style as he had gone before the athletic committee and se cured necessary money for the build ing of a track in case of rainy weather. He stated that Durham was lending her support in this track meet to be held in that city on the 10th and that he had pledged his support to the extent that he was counting on the student body of the University to be loyally behind him in the in door meet. He expressed the desire to put (Continued on Page Two.)
