DEBATE WITH OLD RIVALS
Negative Team Gets Decision
Over Johns Hopkins Affirm
ative Loses to W. and L.
TWO TO ONE VOTE HERE
Carolina won unanimously in debate
from Johns Hopkins at Baltimore last
Saturday night, and lost to Washington
and Lee at Chapel Hill by a two to one
decision. It was the fourth annual
series of debates between the three in
stitutions. The query was: "Resolved,
That the United States should favor a
policy of inter-allied war debt cancel
lation on condition that the German
indemnity be materially reduced." The
University of North Carolina affirma
tive team, composed of C. A. Peeler
and J. W. Deyton, debated in Gerrard
hall against Herbert M. Gould and
Ealph Masiuter of Washington and Lee
University. The Tar Heel negative
team, composed of George C. Hampton
and Victor V. Young, argued against
B. J. Bamberger and F. L. Moehle of
Johns Hopkins at Baltimore. The re
sults of the contests gave Carolina four
out of six judges. Of the eight debates
in the trinagular league contests in the
last four years, Carolina has won five.
The debate in Gerrard hall between
the Carolina affirmative and the Wash
ington and Lee negative was a spir
ited battle from start to finish, but was
marked by an exceptionally strong clos
ing rebuttal by Mr. Deyton of Carolina.
One of the judges who voted for Wash
ington and Lee said that Carolina's
powerful finish almost overcame the
early lead of the Generals and that
he regretted to be compelled to cast
his vote against Carolina after the last
rebuttal.
Pitted against two old and experi
enced debaters who presented a smooth
and forceful case, with ammunition fur
nished copiously by the Saturday Eve
ning Post, Peeler and Deyton in their
first inter-collegiato debate surpassed
nil their previous efforts in both log
ical analysis and in power of presenta
tion, and pressed their opponents close
in a fighting bid for victory that left
the audionce in doubt as to the out
come at the finish.
Carolina presented four main argu
ments: first, that the allies were un
able to pay the debts; second, that the
cancellation of the debts would stabil
ize European conditions and lead to a
recovery of world trade; third, that
he United States was morally obligated
to cancel, and fourth, that the United
States would be economically injured
by receiving payment. Washington and
Lee contended that Europe was able to
pay, that the United States was not
morally obligated to cancel, that Eur
ope was wasting her sustenance in n.ili
tary expenditures and strong drinks,
and that payment of the debt would
furnish America funds for building
schools and roads. Carolina excelled
in the clear-cut logical analysis of the
question in their main speeches anl In
the power and c ffectivoness of the last,
rebuttal, while Washington and Lee
was somewhat superior in the power
and effectiveness with which the main
speeches wero delivered, although the
Virginians weakened at the close with
scattered and disorganized rebuttals.
Mr. Deyton was considered by many
to have been the best debater of the
evening.
The debate in Gerrard hall was pre
sided over by Dr. W. S. Bernard, who
presented the keys of the city and ' ' tho
pathways of the campus" to the vis
iting debaters. Prof. G. M. McKie in
troduced the speakers. The judges were
Dr. Holland Holton, head of the de
partment of education of Trinity Col
lege; H. G. Hedrick, a lawyer of Dur

Henry Higgs, Formerly Private
Secretary to Prime Minister,
Is to Address Students.
Work to Be Started Immediately on
$200,000 Structure for Use of
Alumni and Friends.
Contract was let last Friday to H. L.
Smith, a contractor of Durham, for
the construction of the new Carolina
Inn, which is to be built by the Caro
lian Club at a cost of approximately
$200,000. Work on the structure will
be started immediately, and, it is
thought, will be complete and ready for
service early in the spring of 1924.
The Inn, which is to front on the
corner of Cameron and Columbia ave
nues, was designed by architects of the
T. C. Atwood organization, which is in
charge of the expansion work of the
University. The building will be of
the Georgia colonial style and will pre
sent a very attractive exterior. It will
be three stories in height and will con
tain 52 sleeping rooms, each with bath.
Fire-proof construction and every mod
ern equipment will be carried out.
The interior of the building will be
no less attractive than the exterior. The
fifth floor will be given over to a large
lobby with a huge open fireplace and
other appointments. There will be a re
ception hall for the use of Carolina
club members and a similar apartment
for women. An attractive ball room
will also be on the first floor, which will
lie available to the use of fraternities
and other organizations, and a well
equipped dining-room and kitchen.
The Carolina Inn will fill a long
needed service here. The alumni who
come here to see their old school and
'the relatives of students here have not
bad a building of this sort to stop at,
and with the addition of the inn to
Chapel Hill's housing capacity it is
expected that more visitors will come
here to see the University or to see
some frieuds here. The ball room will
also be a welcome addition to the so
cial side of the town and school.
WILL GIVE TWO LECTURES
Henry Higgs, former inspeetor-gen-eral

Financial Situation in Europe." He
will also speak in 112 Saunders Hall
at 4 :30 Thursday afternoon on "Eco

Perhaps his most distinctive title is his
"F. R. E. S." which means Fellow of
the Itoyal Economics Society, he was
once secretary of this organization. He
also carries a L. L. B. and C. B.
Since his youth, Mr. Higgs has taken
an active part in the financial affairs of
both the United Kingdom and the Colo
nies. He was a candidate for Parlia
ment in recent elections in England, and
has for some time played an influential
part in the management of the acute
financial crises of England.
He is the author of "The Financial
System in the United Kingdom" and
other important books in this field. Mr.
Higgs was elected by the Royal Eco
nomics Society to represent it at the
25th nnnual meeting of the American

'Y" DIRECTORS TO
CHOOSE SECRETARY
The Y. M. C. A. board of directors
will hold an official meeting next Tues
day night at 6:30. The purpose of this
meeting will bo to decide upon the
selection of an additional "Y" secre
tary for next year. This additional
secretary has been provided for by the
increased appropriations from the University.
Tho MeNair lectures ended Sunday
night, with the final lecture on the
"Philosophical View of Law and Mor
als." Dean Roscoe Pound, of the Har
vard Law School, who gave the lectures,
drew large audiences each night, in
spite of the rather technical subject
that he handled. He iB a master in two
subjects, Law and Botany, and one
of the foremost figures in his profes
sion. In his three loctures on "Law
and Morals," dealing with "The His
torical View, " " The Analytical View ' '
and "The Philosophical View," he
seemed to make an earnest endeavor
to avoid technical terms, and to make
his language simple enough to be uni
versally understood.
In his first lecture, "Tho Historical
View," Dean Pound remarked the great
change in attitude toward the relation
of law and morals which took place
during the 10th century. He then went
back and traced the development of
this attitude from the Greek philoso
phers to the present day.
The second lecture, "The Analytical
View," was devoted to a discussion of
the relation between law and morals.
The old rules laid down by the Romans,
although they were law, did not always
administer justice. Often there were
moral obligations which were not laid
down in these rules, and rules that did
not involve moral obligations. "The
young lawyer of today," said the
speaker, "has a great opportunity to
foster the idea of creative thinking in
his profession. In the past the lawyer
has been prone to adhere too strictly
to the codes. Interesting situations in
volving moral obligations sometimes
come before the lawyer. These should
afford him a means of furthering his
profession toward a recognition of the
moral or ethical side."
In the final lecture, on "Tho Philo
sophical View," Dean Pound attempted
a definition of law and morals. "Look
ing at law functionally," h esaid, "it
may be described as social control
through politically organized bodies.
From tho viewpoint of its content, it
is elements of social control idealized
and universally applied. Morals can
not be described. A synonym would be
ethical custom.
"Ethical theories do not help juris
prudence very much," he continued.
"Law deals with situations which have
no moral significance. It must also deal
with situations where no one is to
blame, but where someone must suffer
loss. Philosophical jurisprudence was
first used to bring moral elements into
the law. The old natural law was based
on philosophical theories. It worked at
that time because society was homo
geneous. "Philosophers of the 19th century
described law as the minimum of ethi
cal principles without which society
cannot function. Jurisprudence must
bo subordinated to ethics. Ethics is

Saturday night of the different alumni
class secretaries.
The induction of this year's senior

ing to the program. The purpose of this

tho campus. Tho committee expects
that it will bo necessary for some of
the students who occupy these dormi
tories to loud their room for use of
the visitors, in order that members of
the same class may be given rooms in
the same building.
DI MAN IS AWARDED
MEDAL IN ORATORY
The Julian S. Ctirr medal in oratory
was won by E. II. Hartsell of the Di
society in the Junior Oratorical Contest
held in Memorial Hall Thursday night.
The title of the winning speech was
"Common-Sense Patriotism."
There were two representatives each
from tin; Ii and Phi literary societies it)
the contest. The other Di speaker was
M. A. James, whose subject was "The
('iinccr of American Democracy." G. Y.
Ilngsdale and J. It. Allsbrook represent
ed the Phi society. Itagsdnle spoke on
the problem of the self-help student at
the University, his speech being entitled,
"Through Poverty to Power." Alls
brook's subject was "North Carolina
Her Opportunity for Leadership."
Victor V. Young, winner of the Carr
medal last year presided at the contest.
A. II. Patterson, J). 1). Carroll and It.
1. W. Connor acted as the committee of
judges.
With Joe McLean out of the line-up,
second base appears to be the weakest
spot on Coach Fetzer's team which is
fast rounding into shape for the Navy
game Friday. Homer Starling is good
at times, but is somewhat erratic in
fielding, due mainly to his inexperience
at the position. Fuquay is showing up
better at third base every day, but like
Carmichael, he hasn't shown very much
strength with the willow.
Predicting who will pitch the opening
game is like forecasting the weather for
March 30 four days in advance. If
Frank Coxe feels just right when the
time comes, he is likely to start against
the Annapolis crew, especially if the
opposing nine possesses an abundance of
left hand batters. Should Coxe twirl
the first game, Bryson will doubtless
have an opportunity to avenge his 10
to 5 defeat at the hands of Maryland
last year. His ability to come back with
unbeatable pitching against his con
querors was shown in the Washington
and Lee series last spring.
The outfield promises to be second to
none in the state in the point of fielding.
Sweetman, Bonner, Griffin, and Gibson
constitute a quartet of fly chasers that
is hard to beat. It is possible that
"Hoot" Gibson and Griffin will alternate
in right, as the former swings his bat
from the right side, and the latter from
the left. Left hand hitters are scarce
this year, Sweetman, Griffin, and Mc
Gee being about the only ones.
The Maryland game has been changed
from Raleigh to Rocky Mount, while the
Davidson contest will be the biggest
athletic event of the season at Gastonia.
The baseball grounds of the Jencks Spin
ning Company, Loray park, will be put
into first class shape for the game, as
a record breaking crowd is expected.
There will probably be a big dance in
the evening following the game, and
the "City of Spindles" will open wide
her doors to alumni and supporters of
both Davidson and Carolina.

UNIVERSITY'S POLICY IS
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR
BOTH SEXES SAYS CHASE
The President Gives Clear Expo
sition of Co-educational Prob
lems Before Student Body.
BUILDING NOT MAIN ISSUE
"What I have tried to say, as clearly
as I know how, is that the University
believes in equality of educational op
portunity for both sexes, and in its duty
to see to it that it does its part to help
make that principle a reality," said
President Chase in an address to the
student body in chapel Friday morning
on the policy of tho University in re
gard to the admission of women students.
Memorial hall was crowded, the ad
dress coming as a climax to the contro
versy over the erection of a woman's
building here, with all University folk
anxious to hear the President's message
concerning the question which has caus
ed such a stir on tho campus during the
past two weeks. President Chase said
little concerning the immediate building
of a woman's dormitory, but outlined in
general rather the policy of the insti
tution in regard to the admission of the
women to register here. He made it
clear that only juniors, seniors, profes
sional nud graduate students are admit
ted, and he expressed his opia'on that
unlimited co-education is unwise and un
called for.
'I he text of the President's addres
follows :
The question of co-educatiou at the
University has aroused so much dis
cussion that it seems to me the position
of the University administration should'
be made clear. The position is, In a
word, that the policy under which the
University is now operating, and which
hns been decided upon after careful
thought, is altogether in keeping with'
the logic of the sit tuition, and with the
mature thought of the great majority
of both men and women in the State.
There appears no evidence that it should
be changed. What doto appear, how
ever, is a considerable misunderstand
ing of just what that policy is, and a
hogging of the miestion brought about
y the division of opinion as to whether
building for women should bo erected
tt this time.
The (iitestion as to the immediate
ei-i'clioit of a woman's building is one
to be dotorniined in terms of what is
practicable now. The University's at
titude toward women students, on the
oilier Imnd, can be considered only, as it
bus . been considered, in the large and
pfMiiiiineitt terms of State policy. Let us
see, then, on what the University's
policy is founded.
In lite litst pluee, no great democracy
is possible today without full and free
recognition on the part of its citizens
of l.hi fact that there must he for both
sexes i'itiitlity of edtient ionul opportunity
ty. The Stale of North Carolina, in
her rapid progress needs trained wo
men, women of wide horizons and clear
vision, every whit as badly as she needs
trained men. In so far us higher edu
cation opens a way to life, to larger life,
Hint way must be open to young women
iiii(l young men alike. In so far as
hilier education is a means, as the
fm liters of our Constitution said it was,
to promote "tlii; happiness of the ris
ing gen,. m i ions," tlnj rising generation
without distinction of sex is entitled to
its beni'Iils.
Second. The University of North
Cnrolinii is the State University, the
lientl of the Slate's educational system,
iiiHiiilniiii.il from the public funds, to
servo the State whose creation and in
strument it is. It is, as it is described
in the Constitution, for the benefit of
the "youth" of the State. No constitu
tional provision, no legislative ennct
meiits, bur women from its halls. It is,
therefore, iln fluty and privilege to fuue

McClelland adjudged
kleptomaniac by court
Hugh McClolland was adjudged to
bo afflictod with kleptomania by the
recent term of Orange County Superior
court. As a result of this judgment,
tho former Carolina student will bo
come a patient at the State Hospital
for the Insane. The charges brought
against him for stealing articles of
clothing from the rooms of H. P. and
8. A. Ellis and G. C. Palo was compro
mised by the payment of $100 to the
defendants, $f!5 going to the Ellis
brothers and $35 to Hale.
This seems to settle for a while the
unfortunate career of a youth of good
parentago who just couldn't go straight.
McClelland has a long string of of
fenses of this nature chalked against
him.
