CAROLINA vs TRINITY Volume XXXI. CAROLINA TRINITY Chapel Hill, N. C, Friday, February 16, 1923 CAROLINA FIVE WILL MEET -i TRINITY TOSSERS AT BYNUM GYM TOMORROW NIGHT Bitter Struggle of Last Contest Gives Promise of Great Fight Between Teams. TRINITY CHANGES QUINT Tom Neal May Not Appear in Opponents Line-up Brooks or Carter Substituting. After an eight-day rest the Carolina basketball tossers will hook up with Trinity for the second time this season nt the Bynuni Gynasium tomorrow night, the nrst contest, which was staged at Durham, went to Captain McDonald'; men by the score of 20 to 19. Thi; was a nerve-racking game, and the Blue and White was forced to go the limit to win, but with the team playing on tne nome court the margin of victory should not be so small.' Since meeting Carolina two weeks ago the Trinity team played a number of games and most of them have been tri umphs. On her trip through the pied mont section of North Carolina and Virginia, Trinity defeated Davidson on the auditorium court in Charlotte, and on the following night they took the fast Statesville Legion team into camp, The Lynchburg quint was beaten, but Virginia proved a stumbling block and Coach Burbnge's men went down in de feat by the score of 28 to 15. Trinity's line up Saturday night will be slightly different from the one that faced Carolina in the first game. Tom Neal will not likely be in the game, and either Brooks or Carter will he Crute's running-mate at guard. Simpson and Spikes will take care of the forward positions and Bullock will be stationed at center. Carolina has played only two games since the first Trinity contest. The first one, with Wake Forest, was a close call for the Blue and White, but finally emerged victorious 25 to 23. Then the Florida quint was completely overwhelm ed by the score of oO to 14. And if the players are going such a fast clip Saturday night, the margin of victory will be more than one point. iUonday night the State College five will be played in Raleigh. Judging from the previous showing made by the West Haleigli boys Captain McDonald's men should have little opposition. State has lost to every college in the State. Guil ford, Klon. Davidson, Wake Forest and Trinity have in turn handed them do-feats. FRESH FRESHMEN PLAY Start Early on Soph Methods of Enter tainment Leave Bad Impression on High School Students. In order thnt they may extend to the class of '27 a warm reception, many freshmen are already getting practice in the art of welcoming new men. Lust week two members of the class of "2(i were visited by a couple of their high school "buddies." These boys from the "old home town" bad heard much about the terrible sophomore visits, and the possibility of n call seemed to worry them very much. They asked many questions about past raids, and the ans wers contained much of the old "made in-Carolina" product known as "bull.' All this increased their restlessness and added materially to the causes for stay ing up to a very late hour. The hosts wished to entertain their triends, as well as to get practice "for future reference"; so they made certain arrangements and returned to their room 1 he door was securely fastened, the lights turned out, and after some min- utes snoring was the only audible sound. About "three o'clock in the morning' an alarm clock in a neighboring room went off; it was promptly smothered; nd all was quiet once more. About five minutes later a little noise was made 'n the gutter out side of that ill-fated room, but the sleepers were too exhaust ed to lie awakened easily. More forcible methods had to be nsed ; so a good dump ing followed. The dazed high school lads came from under the wreckage, and found themselves face to face with four unusually large men. Their worst fears bad been realized. The "sophs" had fome! When told to dance they were s inspired by the paddles that Pavlowa would have left the stage had she seen such superior competition.' Dancing changed to singing, and this in turn gave (Continued on page three) FRESHMEN PUT THROUGH A PSYCHO MlTIOfl Intelligence, Emotions, Personality, and Character Traits of First Year Men Tested. Number 34 PAPERS READ BY 'JUNES AID SOIERS AT NORTH E Fundamental Relations Between Capital and Labor Pointed Out Strikes Discussed. P1IST DELIGHTS SHALL CROWD WITHjPLEASli PROGRAM LAST MONDAY Shattuck Disregards Printed Pro gram and Susbtitutes Many Popular Numbers. The Psychology department gave the freshman class a psychological test Tuesday afternoon. This test was made compulsory for the freshmen, and con sisted of an intelligence test, an emot ional test, and a personality or character traits test. This test, with the execution of the lust part, although it is new to the Uni versity, is no new thing. It is used in practically all the larger schools of the country, and at Columbia it is one of the entrance requirements, and is given more consideration than previous schol astic work. The last part, the test of character traits, is a new idea, and oeing uone more as an experiment to enable a person to estimate his ability fairly and accurately. ltie intelligence test consists of ten individual tests, such as: the ability to follow instructions, the ability to pay close attention to detailed instructions, the ability to tell the difference between things apparently alike, mathematical ability, memory, etc. This test has been studied and perfected until it is thought to be the most accurate intelligence test in use. It gives a very hiirh correlation to success in studies that is, the ma jority of those who make high grades on the test make high grades in studies, and those who make low grades on the tests usually make low grades in their (Continued on page four.) PAPERS ARE INTERESTING At the regular meeting of the North Carolina Club Monday night, papers were read by M. A. James, and W. F. Somers on "Labor, Capital, and the Public in North Carolina," and "Tax ing Corporations and Corporation Stocks in North Carolina." DR. ABERNATHY EXPLAINS Tl University Bearing Down on Students Feigning Imaginary Ills Students Warned to Be Careful. That the popular excuse for cutting asses, of being sick, must henceforth mean more than a headache, sleepiness. or an imaginary pain, was made evident y Dr. Abernethy, in Chapel, Moudav morning. JSeginning February 12, he stated tliat lie ceased to be a co-cou- pirator with lazy students who wished violate the regulations of the Uni- ersity. The verdict of the administrative of ficers of the University was : First: That students must report at the infirmary before an excuse on account f illness would be granted. Second : That in case a student is ill his room, he must send word to Dr. beruetliy, who will visit him at his oom and if the illness is such that it justifiable, he will be excused for ab sences from classes. The intent of this regulation is that no student whom the or has not seen personally at the time of his ill ness shall be excused from classes. In his talk. Dr. Abernethy admonish ed the students to lake care of their bodies by "taking no chances" of con tracting disease. "If you can't be good," he said, "at: least try to be careful." ALUMNI ASSOCIATION HAS REORGANIZATION MEET In discussing his subject James point ed out that the employer and the em ployee were very much alike, the only difference beine in education. cloHiino- and money. Cnpital and labor are con tinually at strife, and this industrial strife not only affects the two parties immediately concerned, but also the pub lic. Strikes can be attributed to the hatred that exists between the employer and the employee. Due to misunder standing, and each party attempting to take advantage of the other, the results' of strikes are well known ; the public suffers as much if not more than the two contesting factions. lue best plans to diminish strikes are: (1) to guarantee for the employer against the dread of sickness, unemploy ment, and death in a poorhouse; (2) art in the factories; (3) the supplying of attractive homes for the employees ; (4) broader social functions for the employees, and (5) education. These steps will tend toward getting a larger amount of production from the employ ees. Another plan that will eliminate the clan hatred is the Economy Divi dend plan, which will give the em ployees a personal interest in their works. But when strikes occur, they should be settled by due process of law therefore a compulsory law should be passed to deal with these labor disputes in order to protect the public and give capital and labor a practical method of settling their differences. The other paper, read by W. F. Soin- ers, dealt with taxing the corporations and corporative stocks iu the slate. The paper may be summarized as follows : North Carolina has been and still is to large extent, principally agricultural. but within the last half century the development of industry and business in the state has been remarkable. . North Carolina leads the southern states in al most every detail as a factory state, and with the steady yearly advance in the further development of her potential re sources will become a great industrial state. The corporation has superceded the other forms of business organization, and now the question of taxation of cor porations and corporative stocks held by individuals has arisen. There is much debating whether or not corporation stock held by individuals should be taxed. It seems that the North Carolina su preme court was right in defeating the plan advocated by Chief Justice Walter Clark to tax the individual's corporation stock. This would cause double tax ation on this stock, since the corpora tion is required to pay taxes on all its capital stocks and machinery. MASTER OF TECHNIQUE For the first time in its history, Chapel Hill on Monday night offered its music lovers the opportunity of hearing one of the world's gree.t.st pianists, when Arthur Shattuck played in Gerrard Hall before a discoiiragingly small audience. The musician held the major part of his handful of attentive listeners almost spell bound for nearly two hours. Mr. Shattuck has not only a mastery of the technique and interpretation of music, but also the good judgment of moulding his program to suit his hearers. He largely disregarded the printed pro gram, and substituted many numbers of a more popular appeal. ' The first group consisted of "Prelude" and "Fugue D Minor" (Bach), "Ron deau des Songes" (Rameau), and "Air Ballet" (Gluck). The "Rondeau des Songes" was especially well received, as also was the short "Air Ballet," played with the light touch which is so charac teristic of Mr. Shattuck's playing. The second group was comprised en tirely of Chopin. It was here that the artist was at his greatest. In fact, the audience was so stirred by the "Third Etude," that the spirit of "more Chopin' was very evident. Mr. KUattuck re sponded with "Impromptu in A Flat," which, he explained, he had found in manuscript form while touring in Fin land. The other selections from Chopin were "Ballet F Minor" and "Valse. Mr. Shattuck next gave two short numbers from Palmgren, "Isle of Shad ows and "Bird Song." Both were un usual, and the first was especially im pressive with its weird chords. After the playing of "Impromptu" (Schubert), the program was given a more lively character by the playing of "The Lame Witch" and "The Strolling Musicians." The latter created in one's mind the image of a street musician as he fiddled to the delight of the admiring children. Mr. Shattuck completed his intended program in the same spirit with "The March of the Wooden Soldier," by a modern English composer, and "The Music Box." lie finished his program and left the platform, but his unsatiated audience re fused to leave their seats until he had played four more encores. Beginning with a whimsical "Valse" of Brahms, he continued with a narra tive picture, "St Francis Walking on the Waves." This was one of the most popular members of the concert. WThile St. Francis is on the sea. a storm ap proaches. Fearing for his life, he sets up a prayer for deliverance, which is answered by the abating storm. This Mr. Shattuck brought out absolutely. One could feel the approach of the storm, surging billows, the prayer, and the sudden calm. Another encore was the "Libestrum" of Listz. Its announcement was met by a flurry of applause iu recognition and delight, and its playing was followed by greater applause for the superb playing of an old favorite.

Dr. D. L. Sehlnuch will make two addresses before the association. Dr. Schlauch is head of the mathe matics department of commerce of New York City, and also in the commerce school of New York University. His lec ture will be on "High School Mathe matics Its Function iu Life." Sat urday morning he will lecture on "Ge ometry and Analytical Methods of Thought." Many mathematics teachers from high schools in the state, nnd some from col leges nre expected tc be here. a Lynchburg hotel. Someone, who evi dently thought thnt the hat was like old razor blades, went into his suit case, took it out and hid it in one of the dresser drawers. Bob did not become cognizant of his loss until he reached the station. On discovering that his good luck piece was gone, he forgot about the approaching departure of the train, and ran back to the hotel to get it. As the tale goes, be never loses a game when he wears the old brown felt. Bill's superstition runs along different lines. First of nil, he doesn't want nuybody but members of the team on the field ; they hawk him, and unless you hapiien to be a celebrity of some kind you don't stay there.

The purpose of the schools forming the Confederation is "to discuss student problems and student government, to be of mutual aid to each other in the ex change of ideas, and to promote better educational standards." The federation is expected to promote better understand ing and feeling between colleges, and to holp settle any differences which may arise. The official text of the tentative con stitution will be printed iu a following issue of the Tar Heel, nnd will be sub mitted to the student body for approval.
