Carolina Quintet Wins Championship of South
After Brilliant Play In Atlanta Tournament
TI PAPERS READ BY
MEMBERS BEFORE THE
Savings Bank Accounts and Cooper
ative Credit Unions Subjects
of Paper Read.
INTERESTING FACTS GIVEN
Savings bank accounts and cooper
ative credit unions, as agencies for
overcoming home and farm tenancy,
were discussed at a meeting of the
North Carolina Club dn Phillips Hall
Monday night by Mr. R. F. Marsh
burn and Miss Bertha Austin, re
spectively. The paper of Mr. Marshburn came
first, showing some "interesting facts
concerning wealth accumulation in
the form of savings in North Caro
lina and the United States as a
whole. During the five years be
tween 1915 and 1920 the savings
accounts in the 476 banks of North
Carolina increased from $22,010,650
to $116,154,000. This represents a
gain of 428 per cent, against 47 per
cent, in the country t largo. At
the present time we ra:iK twenty
first among the United SUtcs, New
York leading the entire Union with
a total of bank savings of $2,S00,-
000,000.
These bank account savings, said
Mr. Marshburn, are significant be
cause they are a barometer cf thrift
on the part of the masses which is
to say the people who earn small
wages or salaries, or whose incomes
are derived from the professions or
hand trades, or from small farm and
businesses. These are people who
for the most part live in other peo
ple's houses or cultivate other peo
ple's land. Bank account savings are
a measure' of the' effort of the land
less, homeless people to rise into
property ownership, for the wealthy
do not keep their surpluses in sav
ings banks, but invest them in en
terprises or bonds.
Miss Austin gave an explanation
of the nature, purposes, and benefits
of cooperative credit unions. ' Show
ing why the present system of farm
tenancy, based on a crop lein, mer
chant supply system, and no guar
anteed credit facilities, is unprofit
able, he pictured the need of such
organizations in North Carolina and
cited the several credit unions that
have already been organized as ex
amples of what they can do for a
farm community.
The principal functions of credit
unions Listed by Miss Austin were
as follows: (1) encouraging thrift by
providing a safe, convenient, and at
tractive medium for the investment
of savings, (2) promoting industry
and enterprise by enabling its mem
bers to borrow for productive pur
poses, (3) by eliminating usury by
providing its members when in
urgent need with credit at a reason
able cost which they could not
otherwise obtain, and (4) by teach
ing its members how capital is as
sembled, managed, safeguarded and
multiplied by useful employment.

FIND FRATERNAL SPIRIT
Forbidding Room in Notorious Dorm
Turned Into Haven For Weary
Wayfarers.
One first year student at least has
lot been daunted by the rule for
bidding freshmen to join fraternities.
In his room on the third floor of
Smith building, R. F. Adkins of
Stoneville, N. C, has surrounded
himself and his room-mates with all
the luxurious appointments of the
most up-to-date frat house, including
a victrola and five records.
The words, "Stagger Inn," writ
ten in green on the door, is the only
indication afforded the passerby of
the hospitable nature of the apart
ment and its occupants that is, un
less the victrola is grinding away,
as it usually is, on one of the five
records. Whether the verdant writ
lng on the door is designed for a
name or an invitation has not yet
teen deduced, but apparently the lat
ter interpretation ia the one most
frequently inferred. At any rate,
the room is always comfortably
filled.
IS
Dormitory B, With Exception of
Sewerage and Lighting to Be
Completed in March.
Work, set back by the snow and
rough weather, has been going on
full-fledged on the dormitories on the
old class athletic field for the past 2
weeks. Only one building was far
enough along for inside work before
the snow and the other operations
had to be temporarily suspended.
Two hundred carpenters and labor
ers are now at work.
The brick work on dormitory B
will be completed by the end of the
week. All the work with the excep
tion of lighting and sewerage will
be wound up by the middle of March
on this dormitory, and the finishing
touch made by the beginning of the
summer school. All the rooms in
this building have been let to sum
mer school students.
Dormitories D and E, save prob
ably some partitioning and flooring,
will be ready for brick work by the
end of this week. Dormitory E will
be constructed some time in June
'probably for the summer school.
Possibilities for summer school stu
dents to get rooms in this building
are contingent in that it is not cer
tain as to what will turn up in the
near future. All three of these dor
mitories will be open to students next
fall.
The new railroad has spurred up
operations considerably since build
ing material can be got as it is need
ed. Some of the supplies are brought
in far in 'advance, but this is hin
dered on account of the lack of stor
age space. According to T. C. At
wood, about $3,500 is saved on each
building1 in -'transportation' charges by
this road. 1
Work will begin within two weeks
on the History building just back of
the "Y." This construction will be
a part of the wing of the quadrangle
of buildings.
Tar Heel Five Fights Through To
Finals And Conquers Mercer 40-26

ANOTHER CASE SMALL POX
REPORTED IN THE TOWN
Dr. Abernethy Warns Students to Be
Vaccinated If They Have No -Scars
Epidemic Danger.
The smallpox scare is again ram
Dant. and Dr. Abernethy is earnestly
advising all students who have not
yet been vaccinated to have it done
at once. N. A. Cattlett. a clerk and
photographer, assistant in Foister's
store, has the latest case to be con
fined with the disease.
According to Dr. Abernethy, this
young man went all over town and
to the Pickwick Monday while break
ing out, the most contagious stage
of the disease.
"If vou haven't a scar," said Dr.
Abernethy, "p'.ease come over and
be vaccinated at once. That is the
only sure way to protect yourself.
You don't want to have smallpox.
The name itself is a disgrace. You
can't afford to take any chance when
it is so easy to obtain complete pro
tection." The influenza situation, according
to Dr. Abernethy, is clearing up.
Onlv two cases with a temperature
above a hundred, and six cases alto
gether from a student body of 1,600
men is very encouraging.
Professors H. W. Odum and J. F.
Steiner, of the school of public wel
fare were week-end visitors to Raleigh.
TAR HEEL COURTESY.
After the Georgia-North Car
olina game, B. Carmichael came
over and congratulated Coach
Stegeman on the game his Bull
dogs put , up.
"We were mighty lucky to
win," said Carmichael.
This remark is typical of the
spirit of the Tar Heel crew all
during the tournament. If a
team from Georgia can't win,
folks here will be delighted to
award the palm to this clean
outfit from North Carolina.
Atlanta Georgian.
The University of North Carolina basket ball five has been
crowned champion of the Southland.
With the Southern Intercollegiate Tournament cup, and
praises and congratulations galore, from everybody in Atlanta
and in the whole South, Captain "Cart" Carmichael's brilliant
crew of basketball tossers returned home yesterday, after win
ning from Mercer in the finals by the very comfortable score
of some 40-26.
Play in the last contest was typical of the team's play in all
the games of the tournament, and folks down at Atlanta, ac
cording to all available press reports, were pretty well satis
fied that this Tar Heel aggregation is just about the finest thing
they have ever seen m the way of a basketball team.
News reached the University vil
lage of the brilliant finish in the
tournament late Wednesday night,
and a drizzling, bitter rain failed to
prevent a great celebration by the
students, who pranced about the
campus with guns, pistols and the
old time Carolina spirit. A bonfire
was built and burned in spite of the
downpour, while the word went round
that the Tar Heel five had captured
none other than the championship of
the South.
LAUNDRY ESSAY CONTEST
WILL CLOSE ON APRIL 1
Much Interest Being Manifested in
Announcement of Laundry
Essay Contest.
NEW ATHLETIC FIELD MAY
Construction for New Gymnasium
Now Being Considered By
Building Committee.
About ten more days of rough
grading will wind up the elevating on
the University's new $9,000 class
athletic field situated east of Emer
son near the old cemetery.
After the grading is finished, the
crowning touch will be put on the
field by spreading on a five-inch
layer of sand and firmly packing it.
Since the soil in this vicinity is red
there will be much difficulty in get
ting dir$ fr this "purpose. 4
There Is some doubt as to whether
tie field will be ready for early
spring baseball practice. This de
pends altogether on the amount of
trouble with rocks and to the loss of
time from rain. Since the ground
has been excavated, a heavy rain
makes work practically impossible.
Also rocks, are struck every day and
much time is lost in blasting them.
Over $500 have been expended for
blasting purposes.
The field will be 300x500 and is
laid- out much on the same order as
Emerson. The fence will be removed
from Emerson and the ground be
tween it and the class field levelled.
In the present Atwood contract
no plans have been arranged for the
construction of a new gymnasium,
but this matter is now being con
sidered by the building committee.
In the present building program, five
dormitories, the class athletic field,
faculty homes, the sewerage disposal
plant and the overhauling of the
heating and lighting system are in
cluded. When these are completed
at the end of two years, work will
probably begin on Swain Hall and
the gymnasium under a new con
tract. It is planned to locate the
new gymnasium between Emerson
and the class athletic field.
HAVE CONCERT SUNDAY
Miss Evelyn Smith, Pianist, and Mrs.
G. A. Harrer, to Entertain.
Promises to. Be Delightful.
Another delightful free afternoon
concert is promised by the music de
partment for Sunday afternoon when
Miss Evelyn Smith, pianist, and Mrs.
G. A. Harrer, contralto, will appear
in Gerrard Hall at 4 p. m. This is
the fifth of the latest regular series
of such concerts given under the aus
pices of the University Department
of Music.
Miss Smith is a post-graduate of
Salem College and is a remarkable
pianist. She has won first place in
a North Carolina State music con
test, and first place in district con
tests held by music clubs in tms state,
South Carolina. Georgia, Florida,
Tennessee, and many other South
ern States.
These concerts are becoming ex
ceedingly popular in the University,
and many students, faculty members
and Chapel Hill people are attending
them regularly.
The Mercer Game.
This match, which attracted a ca
pacity house to the huge auditorium,
was hard fought throughout, as the
Macon five matched its speed and
aggressiveness against the machine
like precision of the Tar Heel quin
tet. Mercer's band came uptto cheer
the team ana its bursts of music dur
ing the intermission and before the
game was matched by the blare of
Georgia Tech's band.
Carolina got the jump to start the
game when McDonald landed a field
goal from almost the center of the
floor and the Tar Heels, having taken
a lead, held it throughout, gradually
piling up the score. The first half
ended 21 to 10 in Carolina's favor.
Almost perfect passing and guard
ing was shown by the Tar Heel team
and the Mercer five was unable to
break up their plays successfully
enough to overcome them although
they were fighting as hard at the fin
ish as when the game began.
"Cart" Carmichael led the scoring,
ringing up five field goals and shoot
ing eight foul goals in 14 attempts.
McDonald, Perry and B. Carmichael
contributed three field goals each.
Harmon, Mercer's runner guard,
led his team with five field goals and
six foul goals out of a dozen tries.
Pope made three field goals and
Gamble two.
Carolina Is Brilliant.
The Carolina quintet fought to the
finals in the tournament with game
ness and brilliancy, and the press re
ports coming this way from Atlanta
were all to the effect that it was the
smoothest running machine in the
tourney from the beginning. . Atlanta
sport writers liked the way the Tar
Heel aggregation handled itself,
eased around with the grace of Greek
gods and wood nymphs, and their
dazzling passing, dribbling, and floor
work, with marvelous accuracy in
shooting, was a source of joy to
those attending the game.
Carolina started off with Newberry
in the tournament, and eliminated
this lesser light by the score of 32-27.
Newberry was not so easy as she had
earlier been cracked up to be and
Carolina had to play mighty hard
to end up with the long end of the
score. But steady plugging did the
damage, and after the contest had
sagged backward and forward, the
final whistle found the Tar Heels
with a four point lead.
Howard was next in the brackets
and Carolina struck her stride in thi9
exhibition, beginning to make things
hum on the Atlanta auditorium with
a style of play that set people down
there to thinking that here was the
championship quint. With Howard
stored eafely away, it was up to the
Carolinians to face more dangerous
foes, and Georgia and Alabama were

spection of laundry operation. It
was found that the laundry offered
fine laboratory facilities for this par
ticular course. The instructor and
students were highly pleased with
the reception and feel that the laun
dry is a splendid addition to the Uni
versity's equipment.

DR. SWEETS MAKES PLEA
F(
Stirring Appeal Made By General
Secretary of Presbyterian Edu
cational Board In Chapel.
The magazine section of the New
York Times carried in its February
19th issue an article by Dr. Archi
bald Henderson, head of the Univer
sity's mathematics department, en
titled "George Washington Swings
the Circle."
Dr. Henderson does not in this
story give a complete account of the I
life of the Father of Our Country;
but confines his article mostly to j
Washington's trip through the South-;
em states, with special emphasis on .
North Carolina. He describes Wash- j
ington's equipage and just how he
was received by the people.

A stirring appeal for unselfish
Christian service was voiced by Dr.
Henry Sweets, general secretary of
the Presbyterian . educational board,
in a talk to students in chapel Mon
day morning. Dr. Sweets, whose
headquarters are in Louisville, Ky.,
is visiting various Southern colleges
in an effort to secure young men
for the ministry and other branches
of missionary work. 1
"The words of Christ, 'who would
be great among you shall be your
minister,' are the most revolutionary
ever spoken," said Dr. Sweets. "Our
whole attitude toward life has been
changed by them. The secret of the
great clubs and conferences being
formed all over the country lies in
the one idea of service. Material
service is important, but it is infinite
ly more important to engage in ser
vice that will meet the needs of the
human soul."
The speaker called attention to
the fact that the ministry is not the
only branch of service open to those
who desire to render spiritual ser
vice to the human race. He men
tioned the teaching profession and
pointed out the great demand for
medical missionaries in foreign coun
tries. "Take advantage of these many
opportunities that you have here,"
said Dr. Sweets, "do not wait until
tomorrow to begin. Tomorrow may
be in another world. Now is the only
time that we have."
