FRIDAY SATURDAY Wax wttl FRIDAY SATURDAY Volume XXXI. Chapel Hill, N. C, Tuesday, January 23, 1923 Number 27 NOT GRANT TO UNIVERSITY FULL AMOUNT REQUESTED Recommendation of $1,650,000 for Permanent Improvements and $650,000 for Maintenance. WILL CURTAIL PROGRAM In the biennial report of the State Budget Commission read before the As sembly Saturday, there was recommend ed $1,650,000 for permanent improve ments, and $650,000 for two year main tenance fund at the University of North Carolina. New bond issues for permanent improvements in various in stitutions of the whole state, amount ing to $8,775,000, were recommended. The report of the Commission was laid before the Assembly Saturday, for its action and approval. Bequests for appropriations for cur rent maintenance expenses and for per manent improvements of state institu tions were largely increased over de mands made two years ago, but the commission has slashed sharply into the figures of the petitioners, reducing maintenance requests by a million and a half dollars and improvement requests by about six millions. The University this year asked for $2,317,000. The amount recommended by the commission was only $1,650,000. This will greatly curtail the building program of the University. There are many new buildings and improvements which are considered very essential that are provided for in the amount asked for by President Chase; and it is re gretted by the University authorities that the commission did not see fit to recommend the full amount. Four new dormitories, including a residence for women students, installation of a per manent water system, and a new chem istry building are the major requests made on the budget commission. The chemistry building alone, including equipment, will cost more than a half ' million dollars. A geology building, n classroom building, and various im provements on the campus were some other high spots in the requests made. There is urgent need for permanent equipment for the various buildings and grounds for recreation. Tho maintenance budget asked for by the University in addition to the permanent improvement fund, amount ed to $715,00(). This budget is based on the assumption that the number of students will increase 500 in the next two years, and is considered a very con servative estimate. Under maintenance fund are included building upkeep, in struction, administration, laboratory and departmental supplies, the Y. M. C. A., summer school, extension depart ment and repairs. CAROLINA SNATCHES HARD EARNED VICTORY FROM BAPTIST QUINT Wake Forest Displays Strong Defense But Loses 38 to 26 Several Players Put Out on Fouls Pagano and Stringfield Star for Visitors Mahler and Carmichael Play Well. Wake Forest could not overcome the early lead of the Tar Heels in the basketball game here Friday night, and went down iu defeat 3S to 26. Although fouls wore of frequent occurrence, playing was fast throughout tho contest and both quints were forced to extend themselves to the limit. The Baptist defense was difticult to solve and the Carolina forwards could get only three baskets. Carmichael started things humming with a foul goal in the first minute of play, but Stringfield rang up another one and the count was evcu. From then on Carolina gradually drew away from the visitors and at the end of the half the score stood 22 to 14. Mahler slipped away from his forward and scored three times from under the basket during the half, while every other Carolina player made at least one field goal. Pagano landed a beautiful shot from the center of the floor. Captain Heckman and Pagano dis played some splendid guarding during the second period. The half was ten minutes old before Carolina could lo cate the hoop again. Carmichael 's shooting from the foul line kept the Blue and White in the lead, while Poole and Graham added a field goal each. Stringfield shot a pretty long goal from near the corner, besides playing a good floor game and doing some creditable foul shooting. Three Carolina players had to leave the game via the personal foul routs, and Greason, star Baptist forward, ob tained the "fatal four" when the game was not half over. Coach Steiner, of Trinity, refereed with impartiality, but he seemingly paid more attention to technicalities than to more serious of fenses, involving bodily contact. The line-up: Wake Forest (26) Caroliua (38) Greason L. F. .. .McDonald, S. Stringfield R. F. ......... Green Carlylo C Carmichael Heckman (C) . . L. G Mahler Pagano R. G. McDonald, M.(C) Substitutions: Modfii for Greason Poole for Green, Graham for Mahler, Vanstory for S. McDonald.

Foul goals Stringfield 10 out of 17; Carmichael 16 out of 21. Referee, Steiner (Syracuse). Time of halves, 20 minutes. Publications Union To Organize Soon The Publications Union, which was formed last year, is to have a meeting next Thursday evening at 7 o'clock for the purpose of organization. Due to the fact that it was formed after the election of managers for this year it was unable to do anything this year, but hopes to be iu fine shape for next year. It is composed of managers and other representatives of the Yackety Yack, the Magazine and the Tar Heel. There are Thomas Turner, Jr., presi dent; Charles K. Massey, secretary; T. P. Cheesborough, J. J. Wade, George W. McCoy, and T. L. Howard. There will be one more member chosen from the faculty at an early date. The purpose of the union is almost that of a combined treasurv for the publications of the University. The managers are to work on a salary basis, with all surplus from the publications to be paid into the union, there to await 1 its use as the union may see fit. The present status of the Boll Weevil is undecided. This publication has not yet decided whether to enter the union or not, and members of the union have stated that if it does not enter it will be declared an unofficial publication by them. SERIES OF FOLK PLAYS WILL NOT BURDEN INTELLECT OF STUDENTS Three Plays to Be Presented Fri day and Saturday Are of Light Comedy Type. NEW STAGE EQUIPMENT TEAMS THAT PLAYED FINAL GAME OF ATLANTA TOURNEY WILL BATTLE HERE TONIGHT HEAVY DEBATE PROGRAM ANNOUNCED BY COUNCIL The ninth series of Caroliua Folk Preliminaries for Johns Hopkins Debate LAN MAKES A PLAIN STATEMENT ABOUT GYM. Answers Criticism of Students Who In sist on Being Allowed to Use Building at Night. DR. SLEDD DENOUNCES A LEGALISTIC RELIGION Emory University Professor Draws Les son From Teachings of the Apostle Paul. The first University sermon of the year 1923 was delivered Sunday night in Gerrard Hall by Dr. Andrew Sledd, a member of the faculty of Emory Uni versity. Dr. Sledd drew his sermon 'roin a decision of the apostle Paul, and particularly from a statement made by him in a letter to the Galatians, in which he discredited their religious doc trine. According to Dr. Sledd, Paul stood on a dividing line in religious evolu tion. Until this time their religion had consisted merely in following out prin ciples that had come into use long bo foro and were kept up as a matter of precedence. "This," said the speaker, "was the religion of doing things merely as a matter of conformity to rules that had become strictly legal. "In attacking the central part of that Mosaic doctrine, which was the ne cessity of circumcision, Paul threw a thunderbolt from a clear sky. But he worked under authority; Christ himself nnd discredited many of the strict Jew ish customs, and Paul had Him as an example. But this great teacher did not destroy without offering something better than the thing which he attack ed. Instead of the old plan of being a Christian because it was deemed ad visable by legal code, he introduced the method of Christianity through faith. This was the religion of being the right thing simply for the love of it." Tt, Sledd then attempted a defini tion of faith. "The term has often been confused," he said. "People often (Contiiiuod on page three) In regard to an article which appear ed in the1 ConiinuncHtions column of sev eral issues back, which criticized the usurpation of the gym by the Univer sity authorities, Dr. Lawson iu essence stated to the Tar Heel reporter for pub lication: "The University buildings are not supposed to be open to the pubic at all hours, as the writer of the aticle which appeared in the Tar Heel seems to think. Practically all of the University buildings are supposed to be closed at 6 p. 111. Neither the Library, Swain Hall, Alumni Building, nor any of the other buildings remain open at all hours of the night. For a student to claim the right to use the gym at all hours is analoguous to demanding that Swain Hall remain open all night and serve midnight lunches whenever the student so desires." Dr. Lawson further stated that the gym was supposed to close at 6 p. m. and whenever the building was used after that hour it was only by special permission. Tho gym authorities would be delighted to permit the students to use the building at all hours, but for the fact that the mats, . horses, and other apparatus are misplaced, torn, anil dirtied up when they are not looked after by the officials, who are not able to be present at all hours. DR. VENABLE TALKS TO FRESHMEN ABOUT LEE "Robert K. Lee, the Gentleman," was the subject of a chapel talk Thurs day by Dr. Francis P. Venable. Doctor Vcnable touched the high spots in this illustrious American 's character, and recommended to the freshmen a study of his career as a guide to true success in life. "The mark of a gentleman," said Doctor Venable, "is not a matter of parentage. One may be a gentleman regardless of what his ancestors were. General Lee did not vaunt his high par entage; he was proud of it, but rather than rely on what his fathers had done as the only thing which made him a gentleman, he wished to pass on the heritage, unspotted and unstained." "It is not wealth," he continued, "that makes a gentleman; neither is it position or power. It is gentleness. self-control, self-sacrifice, the perform ance of duty, and a willingness to ac cept religious guidance in nil things. These characteristics were all incorpor ated in the life of Robert E. Lee, nnd they were what made him the red blooded American gentleman that he was. ' ' UNIVERSITY ISSUES RULES FOR SCHOOL BASKETBALL Few Changes in New Regulations Pub lished by Extension Division Gov erning Basketball Championship. A bulletin of regulations governing participation in the ninth annual high school basketball state championship contest has just been issued. The bul letin was published under auspices of the University Extension Division and the General Athletic Association of the University, and is being sent to all high schools of the state. Regulation number five represents j the principal change in this year's reg ulations over last year's. The regula tion reads: "To be eligible, a student must have made passing grades for the three months or longer fall term of the school year 1022-23 on a majority of the studies in some regularly organized course of study in the school which he is now attending and wishes to repre sent. ' ' Champions of the past are: Winston Salem high school, 1915; Durham high school, 1916; Winston-Salem high school, 1917; Durham high school, 1918; Winston-Salem high school, 1919; Wilming ton high school, 1920; Chapel Hill high school, 1921; Greensboro high school, 1922. Plays, which will be presented at the Playhouse on Friday and Saturday eve nings of this week, will not tax the brain of the humblest member of their audience. Their appeal is first of all to the anatomical seat of pleasure, just wherever that may be, and later, if at all, to the intellect. A trio of folk plays without at least one tragedy or "deep" play, while at the same time above par in their own right, is somewhat unusual in the an nals of the Playmnkers. The rare oc currence will no doubt meet with popu lar approval. The opening play of the group is Paul Green's "Wrack P'int," a melo drama of the Carolina coast. The play deals with the polyglot crew of the yacht Mary Wells while the vessel is stranded off Wreck Point, where one James Wilkins had been mysteriously murdered some years before. The mys tery and horror of the dead man's supposed reappearance and its effect upon the varying nationalities repre sented in the crew is vividly portrayed. The second play is "Agatha," Jane Toy's romance of the Old South, which takes us back to the North Carolina of 30 years ago. The scene is laid in Hills boro during the University's troublous days immediately following the war between the states. The play gives us an intimate glimpse of an old south ern family, still dauntless and cheer ful and capable of romance even among the uncertainty and bitterness of recon struction. Tho real charm of the play lies in the quaint and delightful atmos phere which permeates it. The last play is"" Wilbur's. Cousin" (recently "Nothing Definite") by Ern est Thompson, which is a comedy of college life. The play is the dramati zation of an actual week-end experi ence of a Carolina student. The plen tiful humor of the play is strictly mod ern aud will be readily assimilated by the student so happy as to be present, to the detriment perhaps of his sides because of too much laughing. All of these plays are now in inten sive rehearsal, with capable casts under the best of direction. Two entirely new stage sets have been designed for the plays by MaeMillau and are in process of execution by his class in dramatic production. A new lighting equipment. costing $200, has been acquired and will be iu use Friday evening. The casts for the three plays are as follows: Wrack P'int Bugs, the cabin boy James E. Far rior; "Spuds" English, the cook Jas. E. Hawkins; Joe Beemer, wireless ope rator Erskine ',Duff; Daii O'Connor, mate Spencer Murphy; Chris Olsen, a (Continued on page three) to Be Held February 19 Pitts burgh to Be Debated in March. The debating council has announced the following inter-collegiate triangular debates: Carolina at Johns Hopkins (negative), Carolina vs. Washington and Lee at Chapel Hill (affirmative). The query will be, "Resolved That tho United States should favor a policy a cancellation of inter-allied war debts on the condition that the German in demnity bo materially reduced." The first preliminary will be held on February 19, the negative in the Phi hall and affirmative in the Di hall, at 7:30 p. in. Four men from each side will be chosen to contest in the second prelim iuary to be held February 20. Out of the four men selected iu the first pre liminary two men and an alternate will be selected from each team. It is likely that the invitation of the National Literary Society to take part iu the contest on tho query, "Resolved That capital punishment should be abolished in all the civilized nations of the world," to be held in Washington, D. C, on March 28, will be accepted. The University of Virginia, West Vir ginia and other largo schools are to take part in this debate. The debate with Pittsburgh will be held here on the 17th. of March. The query is to be the cancellation of war debts question which was discussed on the South Carolina-Georgia trip. Dr. H. W. Odum, of the Sociology department, is confined at his home on Rosemary Street with influenza. CALENDAR Tuesday: Carolina vs. Mercer in the Gym at 8:15 p. m. Graduate Club meets in Episcopal Parish House at 7:30 p. m. Wednesday: Carolina Frosh vs. Oak Ridge In stitute in Gym at 8:15 p. m. Friday: Playmnkers at Playhouse at S:.'!0 p. m. SHAPIRO WANTS MEN FOR WRESTLING TEAMS About Thirty Men in Training for Davidson Match Which is Sche duled for February 22. A. A. Shapiro, coach for the Carolina wrestling teams, desires 25 or 30 more men for the wrestling team. There are approximately 30 men training them selves in preparation for the contest against Davidson which is scheduled for the 22nd of next month. Mr. Sha piro says that he ought to have at least 40 men from which to pick a team which will represent the University in this contest. There is also a contest pending with the University of Kentucky, but it has not been definitely scheduled as yet. If sufficient interest is shown in this new sport there is some possibility of letters being given to men represent ing Carolina. The official data of the College of Liberal Arts shows that 656 students were registered in that section of the University during the fall quarter. Twenty-eight of this number either dropped out or transferred, so that with 15 new students, the winter quarter quota is brought to 634. During the past quarter, 35 A. H. students flunked every course, while 52 passed only one .subject. No Women Profs Says Di Society Suspending the regular ordor of exer eises for the evening, on account of much time taken up in the adoption of two constitutional amendments, Di So ciety enjoyed a humorous extemporane ous debate on the subject, "Resolved That women professors should replace men professors on the Hill." .1. W. Deaton defended the affirmative, claim ing that since N. C. C. W., a woman's college, had men professors, it followed that Carolina, a man's college, should have women professors. Irwin Monk wrestled with the negative side of the query but was unable to meet such in vincible logic. The hall, however, came to his rescue and defeated the proposal. The two amendments brought up pre vious to this debate concerned the sec retary's duties and the debate council, respectively. The first amendment passed unanimously without discussion, but when the second was brought up, there appeared to be two conflicting amendments on the same subject; name ly, one presented by E. C. Hunt speci fying the time and manner of appoint ment of debate council members from Di Society and in general defining the powers of the council; second, one pre sented by G. W. McCoy which differed with Mr. Hunt's only in that it pro vided also for a salary for the secretary of the debate council to be borne joint ly by the two societies. Mr. McCoy defended his position alone, claiming that the amount of time spent by the secretary of the coun cil deserved some remuneration. Thomas Turner, 8. M. Cathey, J. M. Brown, C. C. Poindexter and Mr. Hunt defend ed the Hunt amendment which was fin ally passed by the hall. Mercer University Quintet Will Play Tar Heels on Bynum Gymnasium Floor. VARSITY FIVE TO START Carmichael Has an Injured Knee Carolina's Last Game Be fore Virginia Trip. At the Bynum gymnasium tonight, Carolina will do battle with Mercer University, the institution that almost won the Southern Championship iu At lanta last winter. While very little is known of tho Mercer team in local sport circles, the visitors may be counted on to furnish a fight of the first magnitude. The whole South will watch tonight's conflict with much interest, in an ef fort to size up possible winners of the coming tournament. Carolina defeated the Maconits for Southern honors last year, 40 to 26. Harmon, of the Mercer team, was the highest scorer in the tournament, mak ing 75 points to 72 for "Cart" Car michael. Smith, star Mercor forward, who shot the most field goals in the meet, was held scoreless in the final game with the Tar Heels. The same line-up that faced Wake Forest and Durham Y. M. C. A. will take the floor tonight. Carmichael 's knee has been giving him some trouble, 'but that will not likely keep him out of the Mercer fray. Tonight's contest is tho last to be played by the varsity before taking the Virginia trip, which begins January 30 . with the Washington and Lee game at Lexington. The next game on tho Hill will be with Floridn, Fobruary 10, but basketball fans will be furnished some entertainment tomorrow night when the freshmen play Oak Ridge, and Fobru ary 2, when tho Trinity freshmen visit the gymnasium. SUMMER SCHOOL TO BE HELD IN TWO SESSIONS Demands of Teachers and Growth Summer School Necessitate Two Terms of Six Weeks. of CHAPEL HILL SCHOOL CHILDREN HAVE TREAT The pupils of the Chapel Hill school were given a treat Friday morning in chapel. Hassie Privctt, baritone, as sisted by Herman Wcihc, violinist, both members of the University Glee Club, rendered three delightful songs which, judging from the applnuse, were well received by the audience. Privctt first sang "The Kashmire Song," by Hope, with violin obligato. Weihe then play ed Kreisler's "Schi'm Rosmnrin," a light whimsical piece of spiceato qual ity. The program was completed by Privctt 'h singing of "My Laddie Boy" by Thayer and "The Big Brown Bear" by Wanna Zuccn. The latter brought many smiles and vigorous applause. Definite anounceiiieut was made Sat urday that instead of running for only six weeks, tho University Summer School will this year be operated for two terms of six weeks each. The first term will open Monday, Juno 18, and close Saturday, July 28, and the second will open Monday, July 30, and close Friday, September 7. This doubling-up is a direct result of urgent requests from the teachers of the state. It is impossible iu one term to meet the demands of those desiring to attend. Tho attendance has been stead ily growing from year to year. Last sinner it was approximately 1400. A number of the dormitories will be open for women and each of these build ings will be in charge of a chaperon. Swain Hall will remain open during both sessions. The cost of room rent and board for six weeks is expected to be $39. Registration fee will be $15, and there is a tuition of $10 for those who come from outside the state. Courses are arranged so that gradu ates of standard colleges may complete in three summers the work leading to the degree of Master of Arts. Through tho whole 12 weeks period the library, gymnasium, laboratory and infirmary will be at the service of the teachers and students. Sigma Upsiloii literary fraternity ini tiated R. VV. Ada nit, Mack Gorham and Ernest Thompson last Sunday night. Freshmen Want To Use The Eddy Book The discussion groups on Mr. Eddy's book organized in the dormitories will meet Wednesday night at 10 o'clock for their first regular meeting. Each group has its leader and its secretary, and much interest in the forums has been manifested throughout the cam pus. Freshmen are asking to be allow ed to take the Eddy course instead of another text as originally planned. "Parson" Moss's Sunday night Bi ble class, which the old men will recog nize by the name, will have in addition to its regular Bible study group all the leaders of the Eddy group. Each Sun day night they will discuss the chap ter which they will have in their groups the following Wednesday night.
