THREE MORE GAMES, THEN- ybttl ON TO ATLANTA! Volume XXXI. Chapel Hill, N. C, Tuesday, February 13, 1923 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. E MORE ALUMNI MEET TO RENEW LOYALTY TO UNIVERSITY Carolina Alumni Association For maly Organized Dr. Bernard and Albert Coates Speak. 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. Other nlumui speakers included A. W.

NOW PLAYING IN VIRGINIA QUERY SUBiTTEDf FOR THE KENTUCKY DERATE Will Attempt to Form Triangle With Some Other Institution Other Notes of Forensic Interest. Zeta Psi Gives A Very Good Dance 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 Friday night : from Durham, Annie Leo Graham, Julia Carver, Charlotte dem ons and Louise Bullington ; Raleigh, Mar garet O'Donnel, Jane Grimes, Bessie Folk, Virginia Storr; Scotland Neck, Annie McDowell ; Atlanta, Margaret Middleton J Danville, Florence Penick. Others attending were Dorothy Green law, Chapel Hill; Bessie Davenport, Maybelle Penn and Carrie Edmonds at present of Chapel Dill. 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. SOUTH ATLANTIC TENUIS TOURNAMENT PLANNED TO BE HELD IN CHAPEL KILL Manager Jernigan Sends Out In vitations to Six Leading Institutions. 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.)
