TEiTEAM! f0 Ht Carolina - 14 Volume XXXI. Chapel Hill, N. C, Friday, October 20, 1922 Number 8 FIERCE WOLF -PACK IS TAMED BY FETZE; WALKING CANES iW TO BE DISTINGUISHING IRK OF DIGNIFIED SENIORITY Class'of '23 Votes to Carry Sticks As Distinctive Emblem Matherly Speaks. DANCES ARE DISCUSSED Tlio Senior class, in its initial meet ing of tlio year in the form of a smoker, held in the Phi assembly hall Tuesday evening, adopted a resolution provid ing for a senior walking cane to be car ried at times deemd fit for its use, heard an interesting address by Prof. W. J. Matherly, and discussed the manner in whieh commencement dances are to be conducted in the future. The walking cane idea was intro duced by Tommy Turner for the class executive committee, who simply called for discussion on the part of members, of it, not as a fad, as was charged by some, but as a kind of class emblem that will distinguish seniors from all other classmen and help the members, in this time of a growing student body, better to know each other. Turner's resolution was carried by an overwhelming majority, only seven votes being cast against it. Even the co-eds, according to their vote and their sentiments, as expressed by Miss Jane Toy, approved, and as soon as a com mittee can select the style and secure a dealer the cane will be obtainable and seniors will be seen walking English fashion over the campus and about town. Mr. Matherly 's address was really the feature of the evening. He, too, was interested in helping the class do something distinctive and outlined and discussed briefly three main ways in which he believes the class can contrib ute something pf lasting value to tha University. These were: First Assume campus leadership in developing sound public opinion. Second Help develop a' high regard for campus property rights. Third Improve the social environ ment of the campus. In discussing these three issues Mr. Matherly paid particular attention to the fact that seniors, as members of the ranking class in the student body, should control public opinion; that they can do more than any other group to help in the steps being taken to beau tify the campus by eliminating the lit tle "pig paths" and other tendencies to destroy already well-plotted and beautiful sections of the campus, and to use powerful influence in caring for the buildings; and that they can do a great deal to bring about a better so cial spirit between faculty and student body, pay more and loss prejudiced at tention to the problem of co-education and carry out last year's system of ' giving a smoker to freshmen in the spring. The problem of whether or not com mencement dances should continue to bo in charge of leaders elected by the senior class or should be given over to the control of the German club was brought up for discussion but no mo tion was made and further steps wiil be taken at the next meeting. The refreshments, served under the leadership of J. O. Harmon, were un usually good. Several kinds of sand wiches, apples and cigars were the treats. President Shirley was toast master and the seniors enjoyed the manner in which he conducted the pro gram. The smoker came to a conelu sion with a rousing cheer for '23, led by Froueberger.

Many or the older books have been rebound and extra copies have been obtained of the reports of the North Carolina Supreme Court.

The purpose of the trip is to interview officers of the American Med ical Association at Chicago and tho General Educational Board and the Car negie Foundation at New York. These will be interviewed in the hope that some suggestions and help can be given the committee which is confronted with the problem of selecting a location for tho proposed four year medical school. Those on the combined commitee who will probably go are J. L. DeLaney, H. P. Grier, W. N. Everett and E. W. Pharr of the alumni, and Presidont II. W. Chase, I. II. Manning and W. deB. MacNidor of the faculty. Blue Ridge Club Is To Be Formed Here It is planed by tho Blue Riiige com mittee of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet to organize in the near future a Blue Tfidge club. The purpose of the organi zation will bo to get more students from Carolina to attend the annual Y. M. C. A. student convention which is held a Blue Ridge about the middle of June each year. Last year Carolina had the largest delegation at the con vention and this record will be attain ed again tins year, it is hoped. In order to got up this delegation it will be necessary to start early. Rea lizing this, a Blue Ridge account will be opened up whereby a student can deposit a small amount once in a while and thus have a sum saved up to de fray his expenses when the time comes. The trip to Blue Ridge is well worth the money and the time, as will be at tested to by the delegates of last year's convention. It is with this pur pose that the club will be formed that the men who have been will try to get more men to take advantage of the opportunity to go. Probably the club will not function as do other clubs but the primary motive for the organi zation of the club will serve as the bonds which hold it together. Y. M. C. A. BUDGET, 1922-23 Student Quota Is Three Thousand Dollars Manager G. Y. Ragsdale Has 115 Workers Students Asked to Co-operate "Y" Has Elaborate Program For Year. Definite plans to raise $3,000, the student quota of the Y. M. C. A. budget for the year, will be adopted at a supper given for the campaigners Monday night. Captains will be elected and the campaign launched immediately after the supper. Manager G. Y. Ragsdale announces a systematic campaign by which he hopes to reach every student and faculty member. He is confident that the campaign will "go over the top." At the supper a forum discussion will be held and every phase of the cam paign discussed. One hundred and fifteen picked men will be present, in addi- "Hion to the regular Y. M. C. A. cabinet. From them committees will be appoint ed for the faculty, the dormitories and the fraternities. The faculty is to be canvassed by a special committee of seniors. The budget calls for $7,000, $-1,000 of which is guaranteed by the Univer sity. With over 1900 students and 125 faculty members it should not be difli cult to raise $3,000, provided every one will do his part. "Y" Building Program Within the next three years the Uni versity Y. M. C. A. plans to have its home in a thoroughly modern, well equipped, regular " Y " building. The present building is not only inadequate and obsolete, but it is out of line with the University building scheme. The present plans are to erect a twin to Steele building in tho same propor tional distance from Gerrard hall as Steele is from the Law building. In this case, the present Y. M. C. A. build ing would have to be scrapped, as it would interfere with the new dormi tory. There is a strong campus sentiment in favor of combining all University buildings for social and religious pur poses into one big union building, sim ilar to the one at the University of Michignn, which would cost about half (Continued on page three) Salaries (General and Office Secretaries) $3,675.00 Publications 900.00 Postage 200.00 Printing 200.00 Campaign Expenses 50.00 Office Supplies 100.00 Reading Room 75.00 Records and Music 100.00 Telephone 75.00 Western Union 40.00 Socials ' 500.00 Carolina Smoker Speakers Rural Work Boys ' Work Conferences Summer Expenses International Headquarters State Headquarters 300.00 300.00 50.00 50.00 200.00 200.00 100.00 50.00 Furniture 1,000.00 Total $8,165.00 Receipts I' ni versify Appropriations (1922-23) $4,000.00 Self-Supporting Activities. 500.00 Students and Faculty 3,665.00 Total $8,165.00 DEFEATS OF PAST TWO YEARS AVENGED BY CAROLINA TEAM ON RIDDICK FIELD YESTERDAY Wolf-Pack Goes Down in Defeat 14 to 9 McDonald Runs Kickoff Back 95 Yards for Touchdown Randolph-Park Forward Passing Combination Features.

(By Special Staff Correspondent) Raleigh, Oct. 19. -Receiving the kickoff on his own five-yard line, McDonald exhibited some wonderful broken field running by running down the field for a touchdown which proved to be the deciding factor of Carolina's 14 to 9 victory over State on Riddick ftield this afternoon. Al thou eh displaying brilliant form at times, Carolina's triumph was by no means overwhelming. State ex hibited surprising strength on de fense. Several times forward passes, Randolph to Park, went for long gains. The initial score of the game came in the first quarter after State's strong offense had placed the ball on Carolina's 40-yard line, when Long booted the pigskin squarely between the goal posts. On the next play McDonald pulled one of the most sensational runs evor seen on Riddick Field, by sprinting 95 yards down tho right side of the field for a touchdown. Tho in terference of Fred Morris enabled "Monk" to elude the entire Wolf -pack. At the beginning of the second quar ter Carolina held State for downs on her own three-yard lino. With the ball on Carolina's 30-yard line, State un corked two forward passes which placed the ball on the 10-yard lino. Lassiter carried the ball over on two lino bucks. After fighting State to a standstill in: the third . qutrtwu Carolina - opened the fourth period by unleashing a be wildering attack that carried the ball 41 yards for the touchdown that spoiled victory for the Blue and White, John ston carrying the ball over. Captain Floyd and Randolph were the outstanding performers for State. Tho latter showed flashes of brilliance in carrying the ball and throwing passes. The entire Carolina backficlil played well,' showing no semblance of fumbling, as was evident in tho Trinity and South Carolina games. Captain Pritchard was a tower of strength on both offense and defense. Tho day was an ideal one for an open air athletic contest. Wednesday morn ing "Old Sol" shone forth in all his splendor, much to the delight of those planning to make the trip to Raleigh. By the hour sot for the great intra state classic, Riddick field had become fairly dry. A special team brought tin? majority of the Carolina students over from Chapel Hill via Cnrrboro. A great many came through the country in everything from a "lizzie" runabout, to Bendy 's big red joy-wagon. Students from Meredith, Peace, nnd St. Mary's attended in a body, and each fair " fannette " cheered for her favorite team. Clay colors were in evi dence, sprinkled hero and there through out the stands, and added to the fes tive Bpirit of the afternoon. Good natured banter was exchanged by opposing rooters, but the game was notable for the courtesy of the cheer ing sections. Hoth the State College (Continued on page three) "Boosting the University'' was the subjectupon which Dr. JamejW. Roy ster, dean of the college of liberal arts, spoke in a short talk to the student body in chapel Monday morning, in which he compared the University of North Carolina with other institutions of the South, shsowing in several in stances the superiority of Carolina over the other universities. He also demon strated the necessity of supporting our own institution instead of criticizing it. "We must realize that it is time to boost and not to criticize the Univer sity," he said, emphasizing tho fact that the members of the faculty and students alike should work for a big ger and better institution. During three months stay at the Uni versity of Chicago last summer, Dr. Royster whs agreeably surprised to find the members of the faculties of other schools so well informed concerning the activities of the University of North Ciirolinn. He said that they were im pressed by the broad-mindedness of the administration, and Hie fine treatment given its professors by the University. Ilis entire talk was characterized by a spirit of progressiveness and interest in the Univcrsitv. Town Club Meets To Elect Officers Tho Chapel Hill Town club held its reorganization meeting last Tuesday night in the parish house of the Epis copal church. A. C. McTntosJi of the law school, was elected chairman for the year, and R. A. Eubanks, secretary- treasurer. E. C. Branson is tho retir ing chairman. The club is composed of residents of the town who are not students of the University, the present enrollment be ing about 100. The club is similar to the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs in large cities. Its purpose is to promote com munity spirit and activity. It meets fortnightly on Tuesday nights. The club was organized last year and faces a lively program for the present year. ABERNETHY GIVES TALK IN CHAPEL ON HEALTH Dr. Abernethy, in a short talk in chapel Tuesday morning, made a plea for co-operation of the students to rai30 the health standard of the campus. He urged those who needed medical atten tion to tako advantage of his service. Ho especially emphasized the advisn bility of vaccination for every man at the University who has not yet receiv ed the treatment. He requested tho students to take great care te keep themselves physically sound while away from the University as well as when at school. Devereux Players Will Appear Here The Playmakers have booked the Clifford Devereux Players of New York to fill tho date left vacant by the can cellation of Tony Sarg's Marionettes. This company will give two perform ances in Memorial Hall on December 1, "The Mummy's Ear-Ring" as a mat inee, and in the evening Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the Man." The Devereux company was in Chap el Hill three years ago and presented Henrik Tbsen 's "Ghosts" to a capac ity house at the high school auditorium, the S. R. O. sign being hung out long before the demand for seats was sup plied. The play was most favorably received. Mr. Devereux is well known in Chap el Hill along with Miss Graff, his lead ing woman. He plans this year a larg er and more elaborate production than ever before. The company carries a special car of scenery and electrical equipment and effects.
