Number 18
DEBATE BALLOT WILL BE
PRESENTED FOR STUDENT
BODY ACTION ON MONDAY
Calls For Blanket Fee of 16 2-3
Cents Per Quarter Council
Reorganized if Passed.
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
The ballot to decide whether or not
the student body shall support inter
collegiate debates or whether the two
literary societies shall continue to sup
port them will be presented for stu
dent body vote next Monday.
Tho wording of the ballot has not
been announced but it will include two
divisions, such as the following: "First,
do you favor the levying on the stu
dent. body of a blanket fee of 16 2-3
cents per quarter (50 cents per year)
for the support of University intercol
legiate debates? Second, if the above
proposition passes, it will necessitate
the reorganization of the Debate Coun
cil, which will ' hereafter (if passed)
consist of four members elected at large
by the student body, two elected by
each of the two literary societies, and
two faculty advisors elected by the
eight students, making a total of ten.
Vote for two of the following for rep
resentatives at large on tins year's
council." (The "following" were
nominated in chapel Friday morning.)
Victor V. Young, chairman of the
committee on presenting the ballot, an
nounces! xnat tne reason onlv two are
to be elected at large from the student
Vjody, whereas the ballot provides for
four, is that there are already, six on
the council from the societies, which
is two more than the new plan, gives
the societies, but it is well to let the
extra two remain for this year, and
hereafter the proposed four will be
elected by the student body and only
four members by the literary societies
The president and secretary of the
council are also to be elected by the
council from its members.
Thursday morning the proposition
was explained in chapel to the fresh
man class, and this morning nomina
tions for the two representatives were
received in chapel. Monday morning
the proposition will be explained to tho
entire student body in chapel and the.
hall thrown open for open forum dis
cussion until the bell rings. At the
ringing of the bell the polls will be
opened and votes cast by all members
of tho student body, both graduate
and undergraduate. Voting will con
tinue from that time until 6 o 'clock.
There will be four ballot boxes, one at
each of the following places: Memorial
Hall, Swain Hall, Gerrard Hall and the
post-office. There may be another plac
ed in the vicinity of the quadrangle,
perhaps in front of Caldwell Hall.

DR. ASTON IS AWARDED
NOBEL CHEMISTRY PRIZE
The Noted English Scientist Who Was
Heard by University Students Last
Year Receives High Honor.
It has been announced that Dr. F. W.
Aston, noted English scientist who lec
tured here last spring on "Atomic
Weights and Isotopes," has been award
ed the Nobel prize in chemistry.
The University is the only Southern
instiution at which Dr. Aston lectured
during his stay iu America. He was
brought here by the influence of the
scientific profossors under the auspices
of tho Sigma Xi national fraternity.
Ho has .written many papers 011 the
structure of the atom and methods of
determining the weights of atoms by
tho use of electricity.
The Nobel prize conies as the crown
ing recognition of this great scientist 's
work. These prizes were instituted by
A. B. Nobel, Swedish chemist and en
gineer, who became famous by patcnt-
wg and manufacturing dynamite. At
his death he established five prizes, val
ued at $40,000 each, to be awarded each
year as follows: the first three for emi
nence in physical scionce; the fourth
for remarkable literary work on some
idealistic subject, and the fifth for the
Person or society rendering to the cause
f international brotherhood tho most
service. This honor places Dr. Aston
in the class of the great Einstein, who
was awarded tho Nobel prize in physics
'ast year.
Mayor J. R. Morris, of the city of
Charlottesville, has extended to Presi
dent Chase, and the Carolina student
body a true Virginian typo of welcome
to his city on November 30. The may
or's letter to Dr. Chase clearly typifies
the good spirit existing between the
rival state institutions.
The letter follows:
"Charlottesville, Va., Nov. 20, 1922.
"President H. W. Chase,
"University of North Carolina,
"Chapel Hill, N. C.
"My Dear Sir:
"On behalf of the City of Char
lottesville I wish to extend to you and
to your student body a hearty welcome
to our City when you come to play the
Universit3r of Virginia on Novem
ber 30th.
"We would be very glad indeed for
your student body to inarch down Main
Street to Jackson Monument near the
Court House, as I feel that it would
add a great deal to the enthusiasm of
the football game, and besides give our
citizens a chanee to see your student
body.
' If there is anything we can do for
your football team while here, please
do not hesitate to call on us.
"With kind regards, I am,
"Yours very truly,
"JOHN E. MOREIS,

COACHES CAMPBELL AND FETZER
MAKE MOST OF FEW DAYS LEFT
With Just Three Practice Days Remaining, Virginia and Carolina
Mentors Speed Up Machinery Annual Inter-State Rivalry
Reaches High Point Many Students and Alumni
Are Planning To See the Game.
Henderson County
Club Now Organized
At a recent meeting of the 18 rep
resentatives of Henderson county on
the Hill, organization of the Hender
son County' Club was effected and the
officers for the ensuing year named.
The officers are as follows: President,
S. Y. Huggins; vice-president, Vincent
Staton; secretary and treasurer, H. S.
Capps.
On the program for the year's activi
ties for the club will be the publication
of a booklet on Henderson county. The
editors of the booklet announce that
they will strive to eliminate a great
deal of the dry statistical matter that
commonly fills publications of this sort
and an effort will be made to make the
booklet readable and interesting. It
will mirror the opportunities and beau
ties of Henderson county as best it can.
The Henderson County Alumni Asso
ciation has written to the club assur
ing it of all the co-operation possible
on their part.
The annual rebirth of the intense
rivalry between Virginia and North
Carolina which has existed for over a
quarter of a century is rapidly ap
proaching its Thanksgiving Day climax
Coaches Campbell and Fetzer have only
three practice left in which to oil up
their respective machines "and perfect
plays for the Charlottosville contest.
Those crafty mentors realize that every
minute spent on the field between now
and Thursday may prove to be a fac
tor in the result of the great Turkey
Day classic, and both coaches, are plan
ning to spring a big surprise 011 the
other.
While Carolina has made a more im
pressive record than her worthy enemy,
Coach "Tommy" Campbell has gradu
ally strengthened his team, constantly
keeping the Thanksgiving game in
view. The Orange and Blue will use a
good many plays against Captain Prit.
chard's men that have not been un
covered in earlier performances. The
former Carolina coach used a strong
forward passing game to good advan
tage against Washington and Lee and
Georgia, and it will no doubt be tried
on the Tar Heels.
The Virginia outfit played without
the services of "Issy" Oppleman, star
backfield man, in nearly every game.
The Lynchburg youth has been on the
injured list practically all season, along
with Hubbard and Thesmar, two other
stellar performers. Whether Oppleman
will be seen in the Virginia-Carolina
game is uncertain; however, the Orange
and Blue backfield would hardly be
weakened by his absence. "Benny"
Arnold, Sam Paphis, and Mait Wilson
have been running regular, with Tom
McCoy, of Asheville, and Foster, a Ten
nessee lad, alternating at quarter. Ar
nold, who is an old Lynchburg College
star, is the strongest back on Camp
bell's team. In every game he has
won a rgeat deal of praise for his all
around ability.
The Old Dominion crew is composed
of players from 15 states, with only 14
of the entire squad from our neighbor
ing coinmonwoalth. Eight members of
the varsity eleven do not claim Vir
ginia as their native state, while twelve
more of Campbell's warriors are repre
senting soil which is not their own.
Every regular on -the Blue and White
team is a North Carolinian, and only
one member of the squad hails from
smother state.
Several special trains, hundreds of
automobiles, and horse-drawn vehicles
will pour into Charlottesville Wednes
day and Thursday, bearing enthusias
tic alumni and other supporters of the
contending universities. The round
trip fare from Durham and Raleigh is
$11.04 and Pullman accommodations
will be provided on all extra trains and
trains whieh regularly carry sleepers.
The Seaboard special will stop four
hours and a half at Richmond to make
the journey less tiresome and give the
passengers an opportunity to visit the
Capital City. The Southern will ope
rate special trains from Goldsboro and
Charlotte to relieve crowded conditions
on regular trains and give the people
of the Old North State advantage of a
remarkably low rate.

CASTS FOR NEW PLAYS
PARTIALLY COMPLETED
Professor A. C. Mcintosh preached at
'he Hillsboro Presbyterian church last
Sunday. His subject was, "The World V
Greatest Oration."
Tryouts for the three new folk plays
were hold in Peabody Hall Tuesday aft
ernoon and evening, but. on account of
the large number of contestants, the
casts were not yet complete as the Tar
Heel went to press.
The casting of parts in "Agatha,"
Jane Toy's play of the Old South, re
quired a second tryout, and several
parts in the other two plays were not
definitely settled.
The results were at that time:

Dr. Owen R. Lovejoy, general secre
tary of the National Child Labor Com
mittee, and known as the "Children's
Statesman," spoke in behalf of the
child labor amendment before a reprj
sentative audience in Saunders Hall,
Monday afternoon.
Dr. Lovejoy has spent tho best part
of his life in an effort to better the
living conditions of women and chil
dren who have to work to gain a live
lihood. He has been, and is, a leading
force in fostering child labor laws and
regulations. In his address he explain
ed that tho declaring of the Federal
Child Labor Act of 1918 to be unconsti
tutional by the Supreme Court in May,
1922, resulted from the form of the act
and not from lack of sympnthy of the
court for the provisions of the act it-
fclf. He argued that the only logical
siep toward safeguarding the Ameri
can youth is to adopt tho constitutional
amendment proposed by the committee
with which ho is associated.
As arguments to prove the necessity
of regulation of child labor, he stated
that 1,060,000 children between the
ages of 10 and 15 years were engaged
in gainful occupations. While many
thousands under ten are working in the
sugar beet fields of Michigan and onion
field of Ohio. Also countless numbers
are doing street jobs such as selling
papers and blacking boots in the larger
cities. He stated that the average
American citizen went out into the
world with a sixth grade education.
He plead for tho children of the rural
districts, saying that they should have
more advantages for better education
and a means of preparing themselve3
for citizenship. Tho children of the
tenement districts of great cities should
have more healthful living conditions
and a better chance to make good.
: Ho asked his hearers to back him and
his associates in their effort to have
the constitutional amendment passed,
by exerting their influence in the state
as a whole, and 011 the legislative as
sembly iu particular. For, he explain
ed, after passing both houses of Con
gress the fight to get. favorable action
by 36 state legislatures will have to be
made.

Tho final curtain will ring down 011
freslimnn football for the highly suc
cessful season of 1922 Saturday after
noon, on Emerson Field, when Conch
Alexander's first year men hook up
with the freshman eleven from the Uni
versity of Virginia in tho annual grid
iron clash.
The Virginia eleven, with an envi
able record behind them, come ns a
highly touted team, but the Tar Heels
are confident of victory. The way
they trampled over tho Georgia Fresh
men last Saturday, handing them a 13
to 0 defeat, showed that Alexander has
built up a team that will be hard to
beat.
Their record so far this season ia
very impressive. Only one game has
been lost and that to the North Caro
lina State Freshmen after a gruelling
6 to 3 struggle in Tarboro on Armistice
Day. Previous to this game both the
Asheville School and Bingham were
snowed under by overwhelming scores.
And in both the Maryland and South
Carolina games the score was 6 to 6
This is the sixth time that freshman
teams representing the two universi
ties have met, and each time Virginians
have been roturned winners.
Former records:
1916 Virginia 19, North Carolina 7,
1917 Virginia 14, North Carolina 6.

BOLL WEEVIL COMING
Christmas Special Will Follow, Coming
Before the Holidays Each Issue
Has Special Name.
The Thanksgiving number of tho Boll
Weevil is on the press, and will be out
by Tuesday or Wednesday of Thanks
giving week, Business Manager Brody
says.
The Boll Weevil staff promises, in
this issue, to "out-herod Herod," to
break its own record as a laugh-maker.
The old Thanksgiving regulars, about
the Puritan and the Sultan of Turkey,
promise to be pulled in finished style;
and in addition to these, Campus Fal
staffs and budding Bud Fishers have
tried to simply spread themselves all
over the sheets.
The Boll Weevil management prom
ises an especially good issue, to be out
before the Christmas holidays, the
Christmas Special. The numbers for
the following months have also been
decided upon. By reason, perhaps, of
the fact that so many Carolina men
are going out for "golluf," the Janu
ary issue will be called the Pinehurst
Special; and then, in anticipation of
approaching winter-quarter exams, coll
ided with tho expected snow-down wea
ther, the February issue will be titled
the Zero Number. March promises an
Easter Number, with plenty of the old
egg jokes already on tap; the Spring
dances will live forever in tho April
Dance Number. In the Spring a young
man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of the Love Number of the Boll Weevil,
and to wind up the year we arc prom
ised a record-breaker, the Commence
ment Issue.
Georgia's Fresh Team
Wore Bright Red Caps
The appearance of the Georgia fresh
man team on the campus Saturday
wearing fr"sh er.ps canse? -quite a bi
of surprise. Especially so, since tho
question of our freshmen wearing caps
is being discussed a good bit at this
time. One fresh here, thinking thnt
the Georgia fresh belonged here, ex
pressed his sentiments by saying:
"Gosh! You reckon we've got to wear
those dinky things?"
When the Georgia men were asked
about them they said that they didn't
have to wear them up here, but they
had gotten used to them, and besides,
most of them didn't have any hats, f.s
they were not nedeed in Athens.
Their ideas as to how long they had
to wear them were somewhat different.
Some thought it was required until
Christmas, others till Thanksgiving,
but most seemed to think that their
days of tribulation would be over when
the football season closed.

The Red Cross drive in Chapel Hill
officially began Tuesday with a very
striking speech iu chapel by Homer
Hoyt, of the School of Commerce. He
appealed strongly for the Red Cross,
declaring that the work of the Red
Cross did not end with its heroic sac
rifices during tho World War, but ia
now being carried on moro earnestly
than ever. Tho work of the wur-timo
nurses has given way to work among
the needy and the distressed of thj
world.
The local chapter of the Red Cross
has promised to raiso a quota of one
thousand dollars; of this, one-half goes
to local charity work, under tho au
spices of the local chapter, while tho
remainder goes to the work of the na
tional organization. On tho campus,
the work is under the diroction of Sam
Cathey, who has already marshalled
his forces and promised victory.
A man has beon appointed from each
fratornity chapter here, to present tho
Rod Cross before the weekly meeting of
his fraternity, and a man has been ap
pointed in each of the dormitories to
canvass it thoroughly.
The Carolina co-eds were already
choerfully at work, before tho drive
oflicinlly started. Mr. Cathey has or
ganized groups of throe boys and three
co-eds to be at the post-office each noon
from now until Saturday, taking sub
scriptions for the Red Cross.
An annual membership to the Bed
Cross costs one dollar, while those who
can afford it may subscribe to one of
the other various forms of member
ships, at higher rates. The Rod Crow
has set its" membership fee at $I,'but "
is glad to take contributions of any
amount, just ns it is glad to help tho
needy of the world in any way that it
can.

PICK MONEY FOR GOLD
FOOTBALLSJLLS SHORT
More Coin Needed to Honor the Great
1922 Football Machine
Members.
At the free shows given by the Pick
Monday night something over $77 was
taken up for tho purpose of buying
new footballs. It, had been intendod
to gvie three shows Monday night, but
so many went to the first two that there
was no one left to show the third one.
It is estimated that something over
n thousand attended the two shows.
The management was a little disap
pointed that tho fellows did not givo
more. The collection was expected to
average at least 10 cents apiece.
The Pick wanted to do its share, and
the only way was by taking up a col
lection, because if tickets had been sold
it would have taken too much from the
proceeds to pay the tax on them to
leave anything for football.
ALUMNI WANT STUDES
TO SEE VIRGINIA GAME
Enthusiastic alumni in far off cities
havo not lost interest in the annual
Carolina-Virginia Thanksgiving game.
This fact is proved by tho sending by
alumni in St. Petersburg, Fla., and
Roanoke, Va., of cheeks to purchase
three tickets for Carolina students who
wish to see the game at Charlottosville.
The Blue Ridge Club enjoyed a wei
ncr roast Thursday night on a hillside
north of Cobb's Terrace.
