The McNair lectures on Religious
Certitudes in an Age of Science, de
livered by Dr. Charles Allen Dins
more of the Yale Divinity school,
drew large and enthusiastic audiences
to Gerrard Hall last Friday, Satur
day and Sunday nights. The recent
speeches of William Jennings Bryap
on Darwinism and the narrow mar
gin by which the Kentucky legisla
ture defeated the bill prohibiting the
teaching of evolution in state schools
and colleges has brought the science-
religion argument to the foreground
anfl the lectures this year aroused
much greater interest than usual.
Dr. Dinsmore has more in common
with Darwin than with Bryan. He
accepts as true all that science has
discovered about the evolution of
man, but denies that the acceptance
of these truths implies any surren
der of religious faith or "certitude,"
as he prefers to call it. "Man is in
curably religious," says Dr. Dins
more," and that in itself is evidence
of a moral and spiritual order to
satisfy this inward craving."
The first of the series delivered
Friday night dealt with "The Influ
ence of Science " upon Religious
Thought." Dr. Dinsmore laid the
foundation for his argument by ac
cepting in toto the Darwinism theory
and the modern scientific structue
based upon it. This idea, he said,
does not conflict with religion, be
cause the two fields of thought are
FRATERNITY DANCES
ON HILL THE WEEK
Two dances provided social en
tertainment for the campus during
the week end, and coming after the
winter term examinations, were
especially enjoyable and appreciated.
The Alpha Tau Omega fraternity!
gave a dance Friday night in the
chapter house and the Sigma Alpha
Epsilon fraternity entertained Sat
urday night with a dance in their
handsome new quarters on the fu
ture fraternity row.
Both dances were formal, with
the Tar Baby Five, the newely re
organized student orchestra, render
ing the music. A large number of
girls From many of the near by towns
spent the week-end on the hill and
were guests of the fraternities at the
two dances. Most of the girls ar
rived Friday afternoon, and left
Chapel Hill Sunday.
The A. T. O. house was attract
ively decorated for the first dances,
and besides members of the other
fraternities, visiting girls and local
girls, there were present a number
of other students on the campus,
and a large number of former mem
bers of the chapter. Among the al
umnae members of the fraternity on
the Hill for the dance were Wil
liam Poindexter and Phil Booe of
Winston-Salem, Sidney Pruden, of
Greensboro, John Onaerwtood , of
Fayetteville and others.
The new brick home of the S. A.
E.'s was the srene jf the second
night dance. This wals really a
housewarming to the other fraterni
ties given by the Sigma Alpha Ep

KENTUCKY AND CAROLINA
TO DEBATE HERE IN MAY
Dillingham Law to Be Discussed.
Carolina to Have Negative, Ken
tucky, Affirmative.
ANOTHER STATEWIDE TOUR
Ten Day Trip to Include Six Towns
Which H-ve Net Been Vis
ited Heretofore!
The debate council has arranged
for a debate with the University of
Kentucky, to be held in Gerrard Hall
on the night of May 13. The query
to be debated is: "Resolved, That
the present Dillingham law should
be retained as a permanent meas
ure, namely that 3 per cent, of ench
nationality that was in this country
in 1910 be the only annual quota
of immigrants allowed from that
country, constitutionality granted"
The affirmative side will e up
held by Kentucky and the negative
by Carolina. The preliminary to
select two men to represent the Uni
versity will be held in the Phi kali
n the' nieht of Arml 12. Eligi
bility for the debate is limited to
Members of the two literary socie
ties whose dues are paid up at the
time of the preliminary.
The Kentucky debate will be the
tost inter-collegiate debate of the
year. Next spring, representatives
from Carolina will return the visit of
the Kentuckians and the debato will
be held in Lexington.
The Carolina Playmakers will
start on their third state tour on
May 1st. They wijl go into tl.e
western part of the state this time
and will be gone for ten days, will
return to Chapel Hill and give a
home performance on May 12th,
which performance will be followed
by the Satyr Carnival in Swain
Hall.
Three towns which have been
visited by the Playmakers before
will be included on this trip. They
are Greensboro, Charlotte and Dur-
hum.
Six new towns also appear on the
list for performances, Burlington,
Salisbury,, Hendersonville, Asheville,
Winston-Salem and High Point.
The Playmakers wilj be able to
appear only at these places because
of the time limit for their trip, al
though many demands from various
other towns have been received. It
will be the longest tour ever un
dertaken by the organization.
tu. unpnd the only Sunday
of the time in which they are away j
at Asheville and expect to find the!
western North Carolina town w
their liking.
The plays to be used on the tour
have not, as ye,t, been selected, oui ,
wilj be within a very short time and (
some announcement will be made in ,
connection with the program to be
presented. '
Pomising excellent music, brilliant
dances, gorgeous masquerade cos
tumes, and unique "spottings" of
new Satyrs, the Satyr Carnival is
coming. It comes in the very late
evening of May 12th, in a week
end filled with attractive amuse
ments for Chapel Hill, but this "reg
ular midnight cabaret affair" bids
well to excell them aty.
Following two successful years of
fun-making and joy in its previous
appearance the campus and town
awaits its coming with interest and
pleasure. It will start soon after
the Carolina Playmaker perform
ance of the western state tour pro
gram at the Play House, and the
Playmaker performance follows the
N. C. State-Carolina baseball' game
here that afternoon.
Many out-of-town girls are ex
pected for the Carnival because of
its own significance, but also be
cause of the big game and the dance
to be given by the Order of "13"
the following night. Only persons
in masquerade costume will be al
lowed on the dance floor between
the eight members which are to ap
pear on the program. This program
Vill consist of several brilliant
dances given by Dr. Richard Crozier
and Miss Dalores Crozier, a dance
by Wood Williams and partner, an
appearance of the University gym
team, and various other attractions.
Dancing will take place between
these acts.
The dances are to be led by Bailey
Leipfert, assisted by LeGrande
Everett and George Denny.
Prizes are to be offered for the
most original and most handsome
costume. The Satyrs .have a com
mittee through which costumes for
the affair may be secured. Serv
ing on this committee are Dougald
MacMillan, Hubert Heffner and G.
V. Denny. Further announcements
regarding prizes will be made later.
The new Satyrs will be selected
from men who have excelled in act
ing in dramatic productions. They
are "Spotted" each year at the car
nivals and this selecting of new
men is one of the most attractive
parts of the program.
A complete program will be pub
lished soon and those who have seen
the dancing of the Croziers for the
past two years will be pleased to
see that they appear again for sev
eral dances. An out-of-town or
chestra will furnish music, if the
present plans for the affair are not
changed.
-, How many men Registrar Tommy
3. Wilson will rule off the track team
before the N. C. State meet to be
held in Raleigh next Saturday and
how this grand slam which .he is
expected to make wilj affect the
chances of the team, is being talked
very much in track circles. No
definite dope on who the unlucky
ones are has been obtained yet, but
rumor has it that some of the best
men out will be on the black list.
( During the past week Coach Bob
has been holding his men to a steady
grind, which was relieved somewhat,
however, by the varsity trials which
were held on Saturday afternoon.
The team as a whole showed un
usually good form, and a startling
ability to run and hurdle. The prac
tice which they have had, since the
indoor meet in Durham, on the cin
der track has pounded them out into
fine form, and unless their num
bers are decreased by inraids from
the registar's office their chances to
win are good.
The loss of P. J. Ranson,, half
mile, star mile, and two mile man,
has affected the chances of the team
somewhat, since he was expected to
compete well in the long run against
Blakeney, but close followers of
track say that his brother, Dale, will
fill the gap and if he can't that the
relay men will do more. If more
"Rattys" continue to come in the
future there wifl be nothing to worry
about in the long distance events,
The men out for the freshman
team are showing promise, and it is
believed that they will furnish good
material for next year's varsity,
Fetzer is trying to get more men
out for this team, and is succeed
ing admirably to a certain extent.
In order to further the interest, es
pecially in freshman track, he is
putting a day aside each week for
the next six weeks on which there
will be a kind of a class meet, only
a few events being participated in,
however.
It is not likely that the freshman
squad will turn out like their class
basketball team and never have any
opposition, since negotiations are al
ready underway for a meet with
Asheville school, which according to
report is meeting with much favor
there. Arrangements are also try
ing to be made for a few freshmen
events in the N. C. State meet, and
if these cannot be obtained, a class
meet will be arranged with them.

'High School Week" Under Supervision of University Exten
sion Bureau, To Be Featured by Debates, Track Meets, and
Tennis Tournament Finals Friday, April 7.
Next week is "High School Week"
at the University. State champion
ship track meets, tennis tournaments,
and debates all come off at once,
jwith the finals for everything com
ing ob Friday, April 7, tne cups ana
medals being presented after the final
debate in Memorial Hall that night.
These contests are conducted un
der the general auspices of
the bureau of extension of the Uni
versity which has recently issued a
bulletin announcing the athletic con
tests for North Carolina high schools,
a bulletin announcing the debate
with material for it having been
issued last fall. The bulletins give
rules for: Seventh annual mter
scholastic tennis tournament, tenth
annual inter-scholastic track meet,
tenth annual triangular high school
debate and ninth annual champion
ship in baseball.
Secretary E. R. Rankin of the ex
tension bureau, states that he ex
pects approximately five hundred
visitors on the Hill for the week
end and requests that the county
clubs make arrangements for the
entertainment of as many of their
home people as possible.
The Debate

i : -Poan1vuf That the United

States should enter the league of
nations." The preliminaries for this(
held last Friday niehti
throughout the state from the moun-! (Continued on age Three.)
tains to the sea, when two hun
dred and fifty high schools repre
sented by one thousand , debaters
contested for the right to send their
teams to Chapel Hilb, to compete
for the Aycock Memorial cup and
championship of all Tarheelia. The
schools were arranged in groups
of three and every team which won
both its affirmative and negative de
bate will send their team to the
University. Any team which wins
the cup for two successive years
may keep it. Durham high school
won it last year.
The Track Meet.
Innovations in the high school
track meet this year will be the ad
dition of the javelin throw and the
220-yard dash. The events to be
held are as follows: 1, 100-yard
dash; 2, 220-yard dash; 3, 440-yard

in every event will be awarded an
individual metal. The relay race j
will not count for the track meet i
but its winner will be given a sep
arate cup. The field events wilj be
held in the morning of April 7th
Coach Frank Coxe has an abun
dance of men trying out for the va
rious positions on his freshman team.
He has more material than he really
needs and will probably cut down
the squad Friday or Saturday.
The best looking thing about the
freshman team is its pitchers. Coxe
has several good men out. All these
men appeared against the varsity
several days ago. and in the opinion
of most of the Varsity men the team
is strong in pitchers.
There are too many men trying
out for the various positions and
Coxe is shifting the men too much for
any speculation being indulged in as
to who will get the various positions.
The squad has been increasing in
size daily on account of examinations
being over, and it is practically im
possible to get a line on the men who
are looking the best.
Several good catchers have shown
up and a number of good outfielders.
The infield, however, has been look
ing rather weak until a few days ago
when one combination got together
for a pretty workout. There is an
abundance of good material for the
infield, but the large number keeps
away any tendency to speculate on
the different men.
Within the next week Coach Coxe
intends to cut down the squad several
times and as soon as that is done
he will be able to say who is likely
to be in the lineup for the first game
the reserves play.

Proved by Interesting Letter of One
John Hawkins to Father, Writ
ten Feb. 22, 1841.
President Chase gave ample proof
in chapel Friday morning that the
mind of the college student remains
unchanged from one generation to
another, when he read the tattered
letter of John D. Hawkins who wrote
the letter to his father, when a stu
dent in the University 81 years ago.
After President Chase read the letter,
the students burst out in laughter re
alizing that the tenor of the letters
written home in this generation is
practically the same as that of the
etters written a century ago. The
letter which was presented to the
library by the courtesy of A. B.
Andrews, of Raleigh, follows:
' Chapel Hill, Febr. the 22nd, 1841.
Dear Papa.
Your letter was received in due
time, and I was glad to learn they
were all well. We would be glad if
you would send us fifty dollars in 2
or three weeks, for we have paid
out nearly all we brought with us. It
is not absolutely necessary that we
should have it at this time; but think
it more convenient for you to send
it, as it may be wanted. Dr. Drom
goole has declined the appointment
of the Society, after once accepting
it, to deliver the Alumni oration, ow
ing to ill health. Another has been
chosen in his stead, but have not
been heard from. There is nothing
new at this place; order and decorum
prevades. Phil joins me in love to
you all. I remain your affectionate
Son.

To Jno. D. Hawkins, Esqur.
The Carolina baseball season wil!
open with a bang here Friday after
noon when the Varsity meets Fur
man University, of South Carolina,
on Emerson field.
Coach Bill Fetzer has worked out
several combinations on Emerson
field during the past two or three
weeks. He has used men all over
the infield and outfield, shifting them
at will and watching them closely
all the time. As usual he has noth
ing to say about what will be the line
up for Friday's game, and nobody
knows just who will be in the line-up
for the afternoon's entertainment. It
is pretty certain, however, that Jack
Sparrow will have the peanut boys
there with a few of Pickwick brand.
Another thing that is practically
certain is that Llewellyn, Wilson or
Bryson will pitch the opener. Shir
ley will very likely play first base,
McLean second, Morris third, and
McDonald shortstop. There the cer
tainty ends, unless it is that Sweet
man will be in the center garden. Al
Johnson and Red Johnson have been
cavorting around in the buttercups
and dandelions for the past week, and
they will likely be in the outfield with
Sweetman. Al isn't hitting much, but
as soon as he finds out what kind of
bat he should use, he will very like
ly begin to slam them out with more
certainty. Red swings a big red bat
that looks like a telephone post and
weighs like a lead pipe, and when he
connects, which is quite often, the
poor old ball goes for a long trip.
Casey Morris looks exceptionally
well behind the bat, but it must be
admitted that a certain man named
Bonner, of last year's freshman crew,
is one of the best looking receivers
on the diamond. He is developing
into a wonderful catcher, and is bask
ing in the smile of Bill Fetzer, who
casts fond glances his way very,
yea, very often. McGee hasn't beeni
catching quite as much as the other
two, but the coach also looks his ap
proval at the slightly 3ui.burned
haired young man. The coach hasn't
said much to any of the three, but
none of the three expects him to.
Havener looks good for a berth on
the team somewhere, although he
missed several in the infield the ot'ier
day. Havener is one of the pret
tiest outfielders on Emerson field, but
he is a little weak with the bat.
Sweetman is taking his usual quota
of hits and looks as good as he did
last year in the field. He is one of
the most dependable hitters and field
ers on the team, and practically has
his pace cinched.
There are a number of other men
showing up well in practice, and sev-
