. TRINITY '' " vs. CAROLINA pie Wm mtti TRINITY' vs. CAROLINA Volume XXXI. Chapel Hill, N. C, Friday, February 2, 1923 ; . . ' "'. - . : - . ., , Number 30 NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CAL FALLS T Western Institution Declines To Bear Half of Team's Expenses on Trans-Continental Trip. WOULD PAY ONLY $75.00 The debate with the University of Southern California, which was an nounced by the secretary of the dobat ing council last week as almost a sure thing, hag been turned down. The West ern institution was unwilling to pay more than $7o for purposes of trans portation, which would have left Caro lina with by far the largest part of the expenses of the trip to pay. The debating council, not seeing its way clear to do this, found it necessary to cancel the debate. When negotiations were being carried on between the two schools the Univer sity ot Southern California was under the impression that Carolina was going to make a regular chain-debate trip into the western part of the country, and were willing to pay half of the extra expenses which Carolina would incur by debating them. As soon as it was made clear that if Carolina came out there it would be only for the purpose of debating them, and that this institu tion would expect them to pay half of the expenses, they immediately wired that it would be impossible for them to do so.

"Every young man should take up tins light against the prevailing system of unjust taxation, which is leading to the development of liars among the property owners of the country," said James A. Holloman, political editor of the Atlanta Constitution, and authority on the subject of taxation, striking th keynote of his third talk of the day. dealing with ' ' The Tax Systems of th States in tho Southeast, and the Rela tion of Taxation to the Economic Prob lems of tho People," given in Gerrard Hall at 7 o'clock Mondav evening. O' laxation is a serious problem which you cannot escape, and it should be an equal demand on all for the good of all, not to bo regarded as a burden on the country but as an asset," said the speaker. "The voluntary system of returning taxes leads to prevarication the ad valorem system has fallen down and the equalization boards are fail ures." He further showed the weak in-sses oi me systems now in use in the South by using several states as examples, pointing out, first, the in efficiency of the system in Georgia. Land is the basis of all value," as serted Mr. Holloman, entering the sec ond phase of his lecture. "You show me a man who owns his home, and I '11 show you a better citizen. There are one and a half millions of people who ovvifHO Ituid in the country today due largely to tlieaperations of the modern land 'shark.' The distressing tax exempt issues by the government have taken 50 billions of dollars out of circulation, and the greater volume of the money of the country is tied up." The solution of the problem, he point ed out, lies in the hands of the legis lative bodies of the states and the United States. The man who wishes to buy land for improvement should be given assistance, and a system of taxa tion should be introduced which, by a graduated scale of assessments, would make the speculator pay a greater rate of taxes. In conclusion, the speaker admonished the young men of the coun try to take up the fight against the unjust systems prevailing at present. Mr. Holloman spoke in chapel at the regular period on the subject of "Con gress from the Press Gallery," in which ho humorously flayed the Congress of today, accusing it of devoting much of its time to investigating the Democratic party. , j Then carrying the minds of his hear ers to the nation's capital, he told of the great men of North Carolina who have iu the past contributed much to ward the shaping of the nation's des tiny. He recalled the deeds of Macon, Gaston, Polk, King and Benton. Then, honoring tho living heroes, he spoke of Maior Stedman, the last Confederate veteran to hold a seat in Congress; Joe Cannon, for 50 years a servant of his country in the legislative body; and LaFollette, Kitchen, Clark, and Sim monds, all of whom have served their country well. "Practical Newspaper Making" was the subject discussed by the speaker before Professor Graves' class in jour nalism at 9:25 in the morning, in which he gave the future journalists many pointers on the art of newspaper mak (Continued on page two.)

The annual public lectures of the North Carolina chapter of the Sigma Xi wil be given Friday and Saturday evenings in Phillips Hall by Dr. Boss Granville Harrison, of Yale. The sub jects of the lectures are "Animal Trans plantation" and "The Life of Tissues Outside the Organism." No more noteworthy man of science could have been obtained by the Sig ma Xi, a national honorary society for the promotion of scientific research, to deliver these lectures. He has made himself famous in the field of scientific research and is recognized as one of our leading American men of science. Dr. Harrison is professor of compara tive anatomy of the Osburn Zoological Laboratory of Yale, managing editor of the Journal of Experimental Zoology, and co-editor of the Journal of Mor phology. In 1914 he received the Arch duke Eanier medal from the Austrian Zoological and Bontanieal Society. He is also a member of the American Na tional Academy, a fellow of the Amer ican Association for the Advancement of Science, and of the Society of .Zool ogists, -&Qd Society of Experimental Biology. These ITfuld be sufficient to class him with America's .'eading sci entists, but besides this and" greater still, he has been president of the Social ety of National History, and also of the Association of Anatomists.

When Tom Neal, of foot ball fame, returned to the line-up the team was strengthened a great deal. Ho, together with Carter, give the Meth odists a capable pair of guards. Trinity has a team that has showed some class at times, while a very medi ocre brand of basketball has been dis played at others. At any rate they will bo at their best against Carolina. Judc is xium puni scores tne uaronna team has the advantage. Carolina defeated Wake Forest 3 to 26 while Trinity went down before the Baptist attack 30 to 18. And Carolina beat the Dur ham "Y" team 50 to 21 and they in turn licked Trinity by a wide margin. Monday night the team journeys to Wake Forest to do battle with the Bap tists. The hardest kind of a game is looked for. The Wake Forest crew, it will be remembered, went down before the Blue and White team only after a gallant fight in Bynum gymnasium a few days ago. And the Baptists will do their best to even the count. The same line-up that faced Carolina in the first game will likely start the contest.

C. Branson, professor of rural economics in the University, is a member. Mr. Branson returned during the first of the week from Raleigh, where he has been working upon the bill for some time. The bill provides that a revolving fund of $2,500,000 be set aside by the State to be loaned to capable and aspir ing tenants who wish to own their farms or homes. The loan fund is to be administered after the "colony plan" which has been so successful in California. The loans will be repaid by easy annual payments extending over a poriod of thirty or forty years. Two lectures will be given in Gerrard Hall next Monday and Tuesday nigh's by William W. Ellsworth, of New York City. Mr. Ellsworth, as president of the Century Company, is in a position to keep abreast of all the literary move ments of the present day, and in addi tion to being a recognized authority on literature, is a lecturer of much re nown. In the tercentenary year of Moliere 's birth, Ellsworth has been lecturing in all parts of the United States on the life and times of the great French dra matist. His lecture will be illustrated with lantern slides, showing many of the picturesque details of French life during the reign of Louis XIV.

Tho annual junior-freshman mostly freshman love-feast, better known as ",o jumui xitj-ruiiipHigu appenzer, came off iu Swain Hall last Tuesday night as neatly and as smoothly as even the junior executive committee had plan ned. With approximately 600 follow ers ot '24 and '20 present, President, Charlie Holshouser experienced no dif ficulty in bringing to reality what the campus had come to believe a myth ana between the cynical witticisms of Orator Robert Sylvestor Pickens and tho apt remarks of Dean Billy Noble a delightful myth it proved to bo, Not to be outdone by their generous hosts, who welcomed them to the smok er for two-bits, tho freshmen took an active part in the program. II. D. Wei ho, '26, accompanied on tho piano by Professor Hamilton of the music de partment, entertained the hall with violin solo, Mhile Robert Dye and Charles Prince instructed them in the latest dancing steps. C. B. Colton, '24, opened tho meet ing by presenting to tho hall the wcl comer of the evening, Bob Pickens who declared that it did not give him the slightest pleasure to welcome the freshmen. "I much prefer that some one else would do it," said Mr. Pick ens. He further proceeded to give his younger "buddies" some remarkable advice, which experience alone had taught him. "Beware of two thing, freshmen," le said, "wine and co-eds. Tho for- mor a freshman can't resist, and t.lin atter can't resist a freshman." Dean Billy Noble wittily reminded the classes of the great men whom A;irr)i i fw-t ATTRACTIVE OFFER WILL BE IDE TO COMMITTEE ON THE MEDICAL SCHOOL Committee of Durham Citizens Will Offer Facilities of Two Hospitals and Endowment. APART FROM UNIVERSITY - ijiiin many handsoVW- Dykema., Estate in liis own jesting, yt-?'n thirds sincere manner. Tho Reverend W E. White, '24, de livered the hardest shelled Baptist ser mon heard this side f Cleveland county in many a year, ending with a special request for all hard shelled Baptists to shell out. Following Rev. White, Secretary H. F. Comer, after relating several jokes, especially one about well known (by this time) ostrich egg, came across and informed the classes that their joint strength could move the whole Univer sity if they would stand together, and that it would continue so for another year if something could be done to cut down the high "mortality rate" of tho freshman class; that is, the number dropping out of college from that class. This," said Mr. Comer, "should bo one of the chief aims of tho junior class in its relation with its brother class. ' ' President Pelleticr, of tho freshmen, expressed on behalf of his class their appreciation of tho interest the juniors nave snown in tnem, anu called upon his classmates to demonstrate this ap preciation with a loud "Split Carolina for '24," which, when given, tho jun iors promptly returned. What has been characterized as ono of tho best offors for a medical school by any city was recently announced by a committee of Durhnmites. This offer will be made officially before a meeting of the special committee on the medical school at Raleigh next Mon day. Thero will also be a meeting of the trustees of the University on next Tuesday, at which time the plan will be laid before tho trustees of tho Uni versity. Offered iu tho plan is tho Watts Hos pital, with a present capacity of 103 bods, together with increased facilities amounting to $300,000; also tho facili ties of tho Lincoln Hospital (colored), 28 acres of land near Watts Hospital, $500,000 for collego buildings, and a maximum endowment of $3,500,000. Tho offer is conditioned upon tho creation of a public body to be known as tho North Carolina Medical college, tho trustees of which to be appointed by the governor with the consent of tho senate of tho state, and an appropria tion of an amount equal to an income from $3,500,000; also that the state log islature be requested to pass a law fol lowing after tho Michigan plan which provides tho payment by counties of tho expenses of charity patients. An amendment to the resolutions made by the city providod "that the letter from President Chase of the Uni versity, be ncknowledgod and that the University be assured our welcome and support if it brings tho University school to Durham, but that in our opin ion the Durham plan would bettor serve tho interests of the state." Tho plan oIIbm--1 - T.,-iinm n.niii create a school entirely independent of the University and also of Trinity Col lege. Tho plan calls for a board of trustees to be appointed just the same as tho trustees of the University and other state institutions are appointed. In reality this would mean the estab lishment of another state educational institution. It is not certain just what disposition will be made of the plan at the meeting of the trustocs but it is considered lo cally by many that it is the moRt at tractive offer that will be made the state. Anyway tho events of the past few weeks assure tho slate of a four year medical school. SORORITY WILL GIVE ITS FIRST DANCE OF SEASON Beta Alpha Phi Issues Invitations for Tomorrow Night at Gorgon's Head Lodge. CALIFORNIA PROFESSOR SPEAKS TO GRADUATES The graduate class in advanced ro manticism and part of the English fac ulty heard a splendid paper on some of the aspects of romanticism in poetry last Tuesday. Professor Allen, of the University of California, read the pa per, and explained that although the ethical influence of romantic poetry was not emphasized, It was present to a much larger extent than is ordinarily understood. In his explanation, Pro fessor Alden used Wordsworth, Cole ridge, and Shelley as examples. Blue Ridge Club Is Making Early Plans The " Y " cabinet met Monday rik'ht. The main object of the meeting was to discuss plans for tho Blue Ridge Con ference in June. Last year Carolina was represented by 40 delegates. This year Mr. Comer thinks there will be no less than 75, and perhaps more. The Blue Ridge Club, made up of those who attended the conference last year, will present the plans for mak ing the trip and expenses, Monday morning in chapel. Each member of the club has a savings card with 45 spaces. Every time a dollar is depos ited a space is punched. By this plan tne stuuent can secure ins expenses much easier than if he waited and had to raise the whole amount when it is needed. NEW CASES OF FLU ' Even though the "flu" epidemic has never reached the proportions here that it has in some towns, there is no de crease in the "flu" patients in the in firmary. The following are now con fined to the care of Dr. Abernathy: P. 8. Smith, J. H. Burke, C. B. Milli- can, H. Holshouser, H. U. Briggs, J. N. Ganett, J. W. MeGwigan. Invitations have been extended for a danco at the Gorgon's Head tomorrow night. Beta Alpha Phi sorority will entertain and everyone in attendance is to expect something really good, for it has been observed and reported to the Tar Heel that Chapel Hill is not lacking in feminine talent at all. The dance will begin at 0 and as is the custom with such Saturday night affairs will conclude at 12. It has boon assured that refreshments par excel lence will be served. As an added course the Carolina Club will render their latest and best selections. Last year such a dance was given by this sorority and this one has only to approach its predecessor to be called tho real thing in social events. It- is rumored that visitors from Henderson and other foreign parts are to attend. With two dances this week-end, also rumors that the Grail plans another whole week-end of dances, aud some talk of the S. A. E.'s and other fra ternities planning dances after the law exams are safely by, it would seem that Carolina has become of late the very social "material" itself. "T" OFFICIALS TO REIDSVILLJB Mr. Comer and C. C. Poiudexter go to Reidsvilel this week to attend the Boys' Conference of Rockingham coun ty. Poindexter is due there on Friday and Saturday and Mr. Comer on Sunday. 18 HI-Y MEMBERS NOW The Boys' Work Department of the Y M. C. A. organized a Hi-Y Club last week with 18 boys as members. More boys are expected to join.
