Number 33
TRUSTEES ASK FOR AN
APPROPRIATION FOR THE
STATE MEDICAL SCHOOL
Building Funds of $350,000 and
$150,000 for Annual Expense
Are Requested.
DENTAL SCHOOL PLANNED
After a five-hour heariiig last Friday,
iu which time the proposals of Char
lotte, Durham, Hnleigh, and Greensboro
for the state medical school were heard.
the Hoard of Trustees of the University
drew up a resolution asking the Legis
lature to appropriate a $3oO,(XX) build
ing fund and a $150,000 annual expense
fund for a medical college to be con
nected with the University of North
Carolina. They also suggested that an
up-to-date dental school be established
in connection with the medical school as
soon as practicable.
The trustees made no recommendation
as to the location leaving this for the
legislature. The legislature can either
make the appropriation as recommended,
and leave it to the trustees to select a
site, or make the appropriation and
designate the site, or refuse the whole
thing. It is very improbable that they
will abandon the school proposition,
however.
The keynote of the proposal made by
the Kalcigh delegation was that the state
should use the property which it already
owned in Iialeigh and utilize the public
health institutions already in Iialeigh.
They pointed out that the buildings of
the old Blind School, which is soon to
be abandoned, could be used for the
school, and that the advantage to a
medical school of having ready access
to the various institutions of the state
located at Raleigh, from which an abund
ance of clinical material could be secured,
could not be overlooked. They argued
that the school should be located in Ra
leigh iu order to utilize the State Lab
oratory of Hygiene, and that Raleigh's
accessibility to all sections of the state
- and its hospital facilities should be taken
advantage of.
Greensboro offered 100 acres of land
and $."iiK,0tRl. The $.'1,000,000 Cone Me
morial Hospital for charity patients, the
money for which is now being held in
trust by Mrs. Moses II. Cone, will be
built at the death of Mrs. Cone. This
hospital would give an immense supply
of clinical material for the medical stu
dents.
Very little was said about locating the
school at Chapel Hill. Dr. J. 11. Wright,
of Raleigh, spoke briefly on the sentimen
tal reasons in favor of Chapel Hill. At
the same time, he pointed out the prac
tical reasons for the Raleigh location.
Dr. Delia Dixon Carroll spoke on the
dental side of the school. She reminded
the trustees of the need for a dental col
lege for this state, and that such a col
lege eould be most suitably run in con
nection with the medical school.

OTHER SPEAKERS OF NOTE
One hundred University alumni attend
ed a dinner held at Aldine Club in New
York City Friday night, on the occasion
of the formal organization of a Carolina
Alumni Association there. Alumni from
all parts of New York State and many
from New Jersey were present.
Professor V. S. Bernard of the Greek
department was the principal speaker,
lie told of the University's growth, par
ticularly in recent years, and briefly out
lined its plans for the future. His ad
dress revealed pleasant facts to those
present who have been unable to keep
in close touch with the University's re
cent progress, and it was received with
enthusiastic applause.
Albert M. Coates, representing the
General Alumni Association, revealed
the fact that there are more than 12,000
former University students living, scat
tered throughout the world. He told of
the rapid growth of the General Alumni
Association since the preseut president,
Walter Murphy, was elected full-time
secretary, and he urged the need of strong
alumni groups throughout the country.

Folger, whose 52 yard broken field run
ning in the Carolina-Virginia football
game at Richmond in 191G gave Caro
lina victory for the first time iu eleven
years ; Doggie Trenchard, former foot

Fxcellent punch, good music, a good
floor, mid some of the most charming
gills of the state made the Zoca Psi
'dunce Friday night one of the best: ever
given in Chapel Hill.
The Bull Weevils, the newest of the
many new orchestras, scored, well on their
first appearance. Playing iu Zeta Psi
hnll they delighted the dancers and
pleiised the listeners.
Members of the faculty with their
wives and lady friends were seen smiling
among the crowd. The punch howl was
so popular (hut it had to be filled time
and again. The floor in the spacious
dance hall was at its best.
The following young ladies attending
the dance were visitors in Chapel Hill

STEINER TO SPEAK IN
GASTONIA TOMORROW
"Attainable Standards for Social
Agencies" is the' subject of an address
which J. F. Steiner, head of the Ex
tension Bureau of Community Develop
ment, will deliver in Gastonia tomorrow
t a mass meeting of the citizens of that
town.
The query for the debate with the
University of Kentucky has not yet
been decided upon, but the debating
council is to submit one to the Ken
tucky institution for approval immedi
ately. It reads: "Resolved, That Con
gress should enact an excess profits tax
as a part of our federal fiscal system:
provided, that the highest rate shall
not exceed 30 per cent of the net in
come of any one corporation." The
Carolina debating council has requested
that this debate be changed to a tri
angular one. This may be done.
The dato of the preliminary for the
Junior Oratorical Contest has been
cliaiiged by action of the contestants
from Monday, February 12, to Thurs
day, February 15. This action was tak
en on account of the inability of the
majority of the contestants to get their !
speeches up in the short time which
las elapsed since the announcement of
the contest.
The preliminaries for the freshman
debates with Wake Forest and Trinity
will be held some time in April. The
finals will bo in May. Our freshmen
will go to Wake Forest to take on the
Baptist fresh. The Trinity first year
men will come here. Although its ex
act form has not yet been announced,
the query for those debates will be on
some phase of the tax exempt securities
question.
The preliminaries for the Southern
Oratorical Contest will be held on the
night of April 10. The finals will be
held at Johns Hopkins University on
April 14. In this contest any subject
may bo chosen, the speech not to ex
ceed 1800 words, and the maximum for
quoted matter is 200 words.
At the meeting of the debating coun
cil last Wednesday D. G. Downing was
elocted assistant secretary of the council.
The freshman team has already tnkea
three much-coveted scalps 011 its expe
dition into enemy territory. Asheville
School, Bingham School, and Asheville
High all fell victims to the prowess of
Conch Alexander's freshman five. Three
victories iu two days makes tpiite au
enviable record for future freshmai
teams to strive for, especially as none
of the games were played on the home
court.
Asheville School offered the freshmen
the stiffest opposition of the three teams.
Scoring was almost even until the last
ten minutes of play, when Buchanan's
guarding, together with the good shoot
ing of the rest of the team, enabled
Carolina to pile up a margin of eleven
points. Cobb made his usual large
share of the score, while Devin came
second with three field goals and one
free throw. ' '.
Bingham was defeated Saturday after
noon 43-27. Carolina's ive-mnn defense
worked perfectly, so that Bingham was
able to score only 011 long shots nitd
by quick work after fee throws. For
Bmghnm Dalton and Kirkpatrick were
tne most active men, while Cobb clut
tered up Carolina's score book as usual.
Frequent substitutions were made on the
freshman team so that the members
might be iu good condition for the night
game with Asheville High.
The game with Asheville High brought
forth by far the most interesting and
exciting play. Before a record crowd
the freshman team played a really bril
liant game of basketball. Asheville
High's quintet, which has already de
feated the Tennesee freshmen, did its
best to pierce Carolina's defence and to
stem the flood of good shots, but was
finally swamped by a twenty-point lead.
Every man on the opening freshman
line-up scored at least three field goals
except Buchanan, whose alert, constant
guarding kept down the High School
score. Cobb broke his own previous
record by making nine field goals and
sixteen out of eighteen trys for free
throws. , Tucker, James and Branch
were the outstanding Asheville players.
The freshmen went from Asheville to
Charlottesville for a game with the Vir
ginia first-year men. Two more games
this week, with Woodberry Forest and
Augusta Military Academy, complete the
schedule of games away from home.

SERIOUS LACK OF COURTS
Grail Dance Draws
Large Attendance
ACID BURNS HAND OF
CHEMISTRY STUDENT
There was an unfortunate accident in
Chemistry Hnll last Saturday morning
when K. Brown burnt his hand with
boiling sulphuric acid. lie went at once
to the Infirmary to get it treated and it
is hoped that the burn will not be serious.
The dance given iu the Gym by the
Order of the Grail Saturday night was
the best lliey have given this year. Girls
attending from far distant towns like
Iialeigh and Durham put life into the
dance. Quite a few co-eds weiv there.
The extreme ratio of a large number
of men to a mere handful of girls was
not lieavly so evident. As the evening
progressed the dance got, better and bet
ter iu every way. Twelve o'clock came j
entirely too soon. Just at the pitch of j
excitement the dance ended and it was j
all over. A large number of the y : rl .-. j
attending the .eta I si dance 1 rainy
night stayed over for the Grail dance.
Others thai did not attend the former
came over from Raleigh.
The Melody Makers were not at first
very enthusiastically received but later
in the evening they loosened up and made
some excellent music. At times their
music was as good as the best heard in
some time on the hill. .
"Beginning rather weak the Grail dance
ended one of the best ever given iu
Chapel Hill. In addition to those pres
ent at the Zeta Psi dance were a number
of charming ladies of both Raleigh and
Durham. It was a colorful affair with
greatly varied gowns and unusual danc
ing. Those girls attending were: Virginia
Storr, Jane Grimes, Margaret O'Don
nel, Bessie Folk and Julia Rush, of Ra
leigh ; Dorothy Russell, now attending
Meredith ; Florence Penick, of Danville ;
Annie McDowell, of Scotland Neck;
Misses Cobb, Williams and Riggsby of
Durham. The Chapel Hill girls were
Maybelle Penn, Carrie Edmond, Grace
Koonce, Branson Price, Bessie Daven
port and Elizabeth Branson.
Letters inviting six Institutions to en
ter a South-Atlantic tennis tourney to
lie held in Chapel Hill, were sent out a
few days ago by K. L. Jernigan, manager
of Varsity Tennis. The schools invited to
participate are: Virginia Military Insti
tute, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Vir
ginia, Maryland, Washington and Lee,
and N. C. State. The University will
be represented, of course. All of the
schools invited were members of the
Southern Intercollegiate Conference. It
is a matter of doubt as to whether an in
vitation will be extended to South Caro
lina. Last year's southern championship
team put tennis on the map at Carolina.
Although handicapped by lack of courts
a large number of men have been play
ing daily when the weather would permit.
Tench Cone is by far the best player
in school this year. Jernigan and Bru
ton are fighting it out for second place,
while Bob Johnston will play the fourth
man. Bretney Smith will probably act
as alternate. All are letter men.
Matches with Georgia Tech., Wake
Forest and Oglethorpe, all to be played in
Chapel Hill, have been arranged, though
no definite dates for the tournies have
been settled upon. Manager Jernigan
is trying to schedule three matches in
Washington with George Washington,
Georgetown and Catholic University.
From there on their northern trip, if his
plans materialize, they will go to Annap
olis to play the Navy.
PLAYMAKERS HERE
FRIDAY
After an eminently successful tour
through Eastern North Carolina in
which they played to capacity houses
in eight cities of that section and in
Raleigh and Durham, the Carolina
Playmakers will give a home per
formance of the three plays which
they carried on the trip at the Play
house on Friday evening, February
16. Those who hold subscribers'
memberships will be admitted free
to this performance.
The three plays to be presented
are "Off Nag's Head," a tragedy
of the Carolina coast by Dougald
MacMillan, "Wilbur's Cousin," and
"Agatha." The casts of the latter
two plays are considerably changed
from the original casts which pre
sented them at the Playhouse on
January 26 and 27.
T
L
ESSOON
01 SOCIETY IN FAVOR OE
RECENT ANTI-MASK BILL
State Legislature Censured for Not
Passing Bill Opposed to Eu Klux
by Large Majority.
Many counties iu our western states
are larger than entire states along the
Atlantic seaboard.
Censuring the State Legislature for
not passing the recent anti-mask bill,
Di Society emerged from a hard-fought
discussion of the Ku Klux Klau issue
with a great majority of both the
speakers and the hall at large opposed
to the Klan. The query, although stat
ed negatively, puts the affirmative in
favor of the Klan and the negative op
posed. It reads: "Eesolved, That the
Di Society go on record as favoring
the action of the State Legislature in
refusing to pass the anti-mask bill."
A. I). Milstead probably brought out
most clearly the main contention of the
affirmative; namely, that to unmask
the Klan would be to destroy it, and
what is really needed is a more efficient
police system to bring to justice all
who commit crimes under a mask,
whether Ku Kluxers or not. G. E. Jus
tus followed up this argument in an
swering a direct question of J. M.
Brown as to how unmasking the Klan
would destroy it. He pointed to the
fact that the effectiveness of most or
ganizations are dependent upon secrecy,
such as the Masons. Irwin Monk stat
ed that such action would be an in
fringement upon the liberty of an
American citizen.
For the negative, Lindsey Gudger ad
vanced the strongest argument, per
haps, in showing that when any organ
ization gained such strength that a
state legislative body was afraid of it,
it was time for it to be destroyed. J.
M. Brown contended that no man would
hide his name and deeds behind a sheet
unless he were ashamed of them, while
R. L. Ransom showed that masks gave
others a chance to hide crimes under
a Ku Klux hood. C. B. Yailoy eon
tended that the Ku Klux had already
committed crimes iu its own name,
pointing to tho Morehouse Parish affair
as an example. Other speakers for the
negative were S. M. Cathcy and P. II.
Edwards.
The society decided to reconsider its
action of tho last meeting in favoring
tho ringing of the bell for society meet
ings, and voted to the contrary. J. L.
Kallam and C. B. Shipp engaged in a
humorous extemporaneous debate on
the question of the necessity for a co-ed
dormitory.
Announcement was made that the
anual fresh-soph debate would be held
in lieu of the regular program next
Saturday.
Guilford and Davidson Will Be Taken
on Tuesday and Thursday of
Next Week.
Manager Shackell announces that the
Carolina wrestling team will be seen in
action here Tuesday night, February
20, when they take on the Guilford mat
artists, and two nights later the Devid
son team will be the opponents.
The Guilford wrestlers promise to
make it interesting for Coach Shapiro's
charges. Nicholson, their light heavy
weight man, carried off honors at the
Olympic meet in Durham last year. Sev
eral of the Guilford men have been on
the team before this season, but the
three light men will make their first
appearance in this match.
The Guilford line-up will probably be
Conner (119), Kimmory (129), Mar
tin (139), Ferrell (149), Warrick (159),
Nicholson (162). Nicholson will take
on the light heavyweight and the heavy
weight, if McBane, the heavywoight,
docs not recover from an injured shoul
der in time for the match.
The Carolina team will bo composed
of the same men that faced Trinity ear
lier in the season: Schwartz (119), Ila-
gan (129), Viek (139), Matheson (149),
Waters (139), Fowler (162), and Poin
dexter (unlimited).
JERNIGAN IS THE NEXT
SPEAKER OF THE PHI
Wins Over Nearest Opponent by Major
ity of 21 Debts and Movie
Censorship Debated.
E. C. Jernigan upset the fond hopes
and expectations of a well planned po
liticnl campaign last Saturday night
when ho walked away with tho spring
quarter speakership of the Phi Assem
bly over George C. Hampton and J. J.
Beale. The society expressed its will
by the following vote: Jernigan, 59;
Hampton, 38; Beale, 5.
Xext after the election the Assembly
unanimously passed a resolution of con
ilolence to be sent to the mother of
John P. Washburn, a former speaker
of the Assembly whose recent death
came as a distressing shock to his many
friends and admirers.
A resolution which read, "Resolved,
That the intcr-allied war debts should
bo cancelled on condition that, tho Ger
man reparations bo reduced by one
half" brought forth much discussion,
both good and bad, from a dozen mem
bers intent on improving their forensic
powers. Tho speakers were unable to
agree on the question of whether the
United States owes the Allies a moral
debt for saving humanity, or tho Allies
owe the United States a moral debt
for "keeping the Germans from cut
ting their heads off." When a vote
was taken the advocates of the resolu
tion could command only four votes, so
it went down to everlasting defeat.
A bill to form a board of moving pic
ture censorship received quite a bit of
the society's attention. The arguments
pro and con were led by Messrs. Keel
and Patterson, both members of the
freshman class. F. P. Parker told the
Assembly that the bill should bo passed
to save tho future generation from deg
radation. As proof of his assertion he
pointed out the "bare facts" of the
moving pictures now presented to the
American youth. E. C. Jernigan gave
a Miltonie opposition to restraints and
censorship. This bill suffered an even
more overwhelming defeat, for only
Mr. Keel voted for it.
EASY WIN OVER FLOBiM
ADOS TO GROWING LIST
OF TARHEEL TRIUMPHS
Gators Completely Out-played
and Score Mounts to Sur
prising Figure of 59-14.
TEAM WORK IS SPLENDID
Displaying splendid team work, Caro
lina completely swnmped the Florida
quint under nn iivnlnnche of goals nt the
Bynnm gymnasium Friday night, and
emerged victorious by the count of .r!)
to 11. The 'Gators were bewildered by
the fast and accurate passing of Cap
tain McDonald's team and after the first
few minutes of play, it was only a ques
tion of how large the score would be.
The visitors could not solve the Tar
Heel defense and were forced to attempt
long shots, but even when an easy goal
was possible, the Floridians could not
locale the basket.
Car Mahler secured the first goal
from under the basket and Green follow
ed with another. After Carmichael had
chalked up a free throw, Newton caged
a long goal for Florida's first points.
Fast passing by Carolina enabled Sam
McDonald and Green to ring one each.
"Monk" McDonald made a beautiful
shot from the corner and Miller man
aged to score a field goal.
Pretty passing by Carmichael and
Sam McDonald gnve Mahler two easy
goals from under the basket. Car
michael and Moss tallied one each while
the Carolina forwards followed with
three and "Cart" rang one from the
corner. The half ended with Carolina
leading 31 to 0.
The second team entered the fray at
tho opening of the next period, but the
scrubs were over-enger and could not
swell the score while on the other hand
Florida added four field goals. The vars
ity returned to the floor and Green im
mediately obtained a couple, after which
Carmichael dropped iu a difficult shot
from near the side. Carolina was pass
ing like a well oiled piece of machinery
and five baskets were made in rapid suc
cession. Carmichael landed a spectacu
lar goal from the side line and repeated
the performance before the half was
over.
The Blue and White quintet showed
marked improvement over the playing
exhibited in the Trinity and Wake For
est games. Evtry member of the team
figured conspicuously in the scoring mid
the defensive work of Captain McDon
ald anil Mahler was exceptionally good.
John Purser and Jimmy Poole, who
entered the contest just before the first
half ended, showed tip well also.
Newton mid Captain Moss were the
best players for tho Orange and Dine.
The latter was unusually fast but like
the rest of his team, showed little ability
iu caging the ball. Out of nine tries
from the fifteen foot line, Moss and Xew
(Continued on pnge four.)
