(By THE HAY-SHAKER)
With Carolina '8 band playing for the
first time at a track meet, and before
the largest crowd 1500 that ever wit
nessed a dual meet in the state, Bob
Fetzer's track team whipped the much
touted State College squad by a score
of 78 to 48 Friday afternoon.
It was a great contest. The hardest
crew that the Carolina squad has met
so far. But the Tar Heel team and its
band which also had improved over
past performances was equal to the oc
casion, and experienced little difficulty
in disposing of a team that one of the
state papers proclaimed as a 15 point
winner in the meet.
Undoubtedly it was the best track
meet, from every viewpoint, that has
been held in North Carolina. And as a
result, one more state record was brok
en. No, it wasn 't the javelin record ;
it was the pole vault. And Lacy Ban
son, a member of North Carolina's Ro
yal track family, is the holder of the
new record of 11 feet 5Y2 inches.
The track was fast and despite the
fact that a stiff wind was blowing the
time with the exception of the 100 yard
dash was the best seen on this track
in some time.
Was the Hay-Shaker's Dope Spilled?
The Hay-Shaker, the Tar Heel track
reporter had just as good a day as the
track team. Last Tuesday he predicted
that Carolina would win firsts in the
440, 880, one mile, 220 low hurdles,
broad jump, javelin, pole vault and one
or the dashes. He prc-inctnl that oiat -College
would win fust places in tin
two mile, the high jump, discus, shot
put, high hurdles, and one of the dash
es most likely the 100.
As the meet ran off, the Hay-Shaker
lost out in only one event, the high
jump. He would not have lost here if
State College officials had measured Sat
tcrfield's jump in the Davidson meet
correctly. They measured it from the
stands instead of the middle of the
bar and that made a difference of some
five inches.

WEIL LECTURES RECEIVE
PRAISE FROM AUDIENCE
Fabian Franklin Stimulates Thought in
the Field of American
Citizenship,
The Weil lectures for 1!)23 are now
a mutter of history. Mr. Fabian Frank
lin has received high commendation from
his hearers for the messages that he
brought, and although his audiences were
small he has stimulated much thought
in the field of the particular phases of
American citizenship which he presented.
The second lecture was entitled "The
Function of Leadership," and was re
stricted to the representative type of
government. To he a leader in a de
mocracy .Mr. Franklin holds that one
must be a spokesman of the people and
at the same time trust to his ovvu opinion,
lie pointed out three men as embodying
the essentials of leadership in the field
of action : Theodore IJoosevelt, Wilhelui
II, and Kind Edward.
"Will a true representative." he said,
"take a stand without consulting his
constituents? He surely should not
completely disregard them ; neither is he
under any kind of pledge to them. His
clear cut convictions and unbiased opinion
should not be sacrificed to the will of

MAY i8th IS THE DATE SET
(By J. M. SAUNDEES)
The "tapping" of men for the Gold
en Fleece the greatest honor that is
uestoweu upon Carolina men as stu
dentswill be bold on Friday night,
May 18th, in Memorial Hall. As yet
there has been uo definite announcement
as to who will deliver the address for
the occasion. Hon. John J. Parker, how
ever, has been extended an invitation
to speak at the annual affair. Mr. Par
ker is Rn old Fleece man himself, hav
ing been a student here some years
back. He is the acknowledged leadpv
of the Republican party in the state
and is one of the most brilliant men in
North Carolina.
Hie Senior Order of the Golden
Fleece is the one thing that all Caro
Una men covet and aceept as the great
est achievement for any son of Caro
Una. Every year there is much inter
est in the student body as to who will
be picked for this honor, and specula
tion runs wild long before the time for
the "tapping."
Each year it lias been the custom of
the Tar Heel to pick as near as possible
the final selection, or at least to men
tion the most likely candidates for the
honor. This is a very difficult job. In
picking winners of first places in a
track meet or something of that nature
the task is altogether different. In
view of these conditions it is with much
hesitancy that we try to make the selec
tion. In the first place the Golden Fleece
usually picks men who stand out in
some campus activity very prominently.
The usual number is ten, and so with
this in mind we start out our uncertain

LAUNDRY SEEKS HIGHER
EFFICIENCY IN ITS WORK
417,425 Pieces Laundered Last Quartet
Paulsen Looks to Raleigh Con
ference for New Ideas.
That the laundry is an efficient and
a very systematically operated institu
tion on the campus is generally recog
nized, but the extent of this eflicioncy
is not so generally known. Just to get
an idea, the superintendent, Mr. Paul
sen, tells us that during last quarter
he laundreed 417,425 pieces of work, or
32,901 pieces per week, and on several
thousand pieces of this work he found
it necessary to sew buttons. The fact
that the University Laundry turns out
more work according to the size of its
working force than any other laundry
in the state is almost undisputable.
The office force keeps a set of records
of the most minute transactions and
their Bystem of bookkeeping is just as
efficient and modern as most any bank.
Superintendent Paulsen says that he
is at all times seeking some way to
increase efficiency and cut his rates at
the same time. For this purpose he ex
pects to go to Washington, D. C, on
May 10 to attend the first regional con
vention of the National Laundry Asso
ciation. Here he will have an oppor
tunity to investigate and study several
new systems which are undergoing thor
ough tests now. He will go to Baloigh
next Tuesday where he will meet dole

discuss several new systems which aro

Carolina.
should he succumb to the apparent desires
of his constituents."
.Mr. Franklin called attention to the
initiative and referendum, and the rea
sons for its failure. "There has long
been a discontent for representative gov
ernment, and not without foundation.
The initiative and referendum would
have made everything subservient to the
will of the masses, mid would have been
the most perfect form of democracy. Its
cardinal fault was the hick of any per
sonal responsibility, which is of supreme
moment at times. It would be folly to
leave to the moods of the people such
questions as foreign relations, and mone
tary values and standards. Men in our
government must be allowed to use their
own judgment. Even the net of obstruc
tion, so annoying at times in parliamen
tary bodies, has its virtues."
In the last lecture, entitled "The Spirit
of Liberty," Mr. Franklin showed that
the rule of the people, founded on reason
and liberty as it is. is callable of de
generating into tyranny. He used the
18th Amendment as an exnmple of this,
showing how it destroys the liberty of
both the individual and the states. "You
may say that any government entails
the sacrifice of personal liberty. True
enough, to an extent; but the 18th amend
ment attempts to destroy moral freedom
too.
"The real danger to the spirit of lib
erty," he concluded, "arises from a desire
for greater perfection. This desire is
perfectly legitimate in itself, but it goes
too far. The attention is centered on
minor imperfections, and the great un
derlying principles are forgotten."
Prof. B. B. Kendrix, of Columbia Uni
versity, made an address to students
interested in history last Thursday
morning in Saunders Hall. He spoke
on the South 's political stand during
the Civil War. The Professor defended
the South in its belief in State's Rights,
but pointed out the weakness of its
stand in regard to slavery.
W. A. White, of the. Beading Iron
company, Beading, Pa., read an inter
estinir .paper to the Civil Engineering
Socioty recently on the manufacture of
steel and wrought iron.
After thinking of all the meu who
would be possibilities for the Fleece, it
seems the best way to make the selec
tion would be to get men who would
correspond as nearly as possible with
last year's choice. The men "tapped"
last year were as follows: A. M. Mc
Donald, C. U. Smith, C. L. Moore, J. J.
Wade, C. C. Poindexter, C. M. Llewel
lyn, V. V. Young, E. E. Rives, M. W.
Xash and A. M. Mi-Gee.
"Monk" McDonald was picked last
year as an all-round athlete. In look
ing for a mau who can most satisfac
torily fill such a general requirement,
our attention is at once brought upon
"Casey" Morris. Here is a man who
has been honored by captaincies in two
major sports an honor that occurs very
rarely. As star end on the varsity foot
bp 11 team for the past two seasons he
won a place on the mythical All-South
Atlantic team both years. At the end
of this season be was chosen to suc
ceed Grady Pritchard as captain of the
Carolina eleven. This year it is the
"mighty Casey" who captains our
baseball nine. In scholarship "Casey"
ranks well for a man who has as much
time taken up as he has. Certainly he
".annot be overlooked in the Fleecs
"tapping."
Taking them up in order, C. U. Smith
was chosen on account of his scholar
ship, being president of Phi Beta Kap
pa last year. This year's president of
the honorary scholarship fraternity is
G. E. Xewby. It is generally thought

A rather unusual pleasure was visited
on the chapel attendants Thursday
morning when Rev. B. F. McLendon ap
peared with a very vigorous speech.
Mr. McLendon is an evangelist of the
Billy Sunday type, who has won the
sobriquet of "Cyclone Mack" because
of his breezy and volcanic manner of
speaking. He hails originally from
somewhere in South Carolina, near Bon-
nettwille. He compares himself now.

higher type, and who, deprived of this
dog by death, contents himself by stat-
ng that "the bow-legged fice on which
I feed is home sweet home to me."
The speaker gave an interesting ac-
ount of his first sermon, and the con-
sequences theroof. "I had spent some
time in a preacher factory," ho said,
"and 1 was notified one night that I
was to preach. In preparing my sermon
I did not confine myself to the Bible,
but gleaned happy thoughts from all
he major and minor poets, historians
and writers of all times. I had the
sermon all fixed up with wet and dry
climaxes.".
"1 went to the little church arrayed
in a long coat, high beaver 'and white
vest, and entered upon my maiden Ber
111011 grandly. I progressed well enough
until I found that I had omitted one of
my wet climaxes. Then T went back
and tried to work up to it again, and
spoiled the whole thing."
He then pointed out that the cause
for his failure was a lack of enthusi
asm, and that he determined to be sin
cere at least. Ho drew many illustra
tions of the value of enthusiasm from
the Bible, and one or two from else
where. "In my boyhood I was fond
of playing with turtles," he said. "Of
ten they would draw in their head, legs
and tail and refuse to move. Then I
was accustomed to place a hot fire coal
upon his back just about where the
stispendors would have crossed, and ac
tion resulted."
"There are those who disfavor sen
sationalism," he continued, "I was
never accustomed to standing in the
pulpit and preaching to benches and
varnish. A sensationalist is one who
is doing something that other people
cannot do, and of whom they are jeal
ous. That is why they are universally
disliked."
E. W. Zimmerman, of the Department
of Commerce, left last Sunday for New
Orleans where he will attend the Na
tional Conference of Collegiate Instruc
tors of Foreign Steel. This conference
will begin tomorrow and will last
through Saturday. Professor Zimmer
man will be the official delegate of the
University of North Carolina at the
Foreign Trade Commission which will
hold its meeting at the same time. On
Saturday all those present at the con
ference will attend the formal opening
of the new harbor of the port of Or
leans. On the way back from New
Orleans the Professor will stop at At
lanta and Birmingham to study the gen-
ral conditions at these two cities.
Doubles by Shirley and Morris
Give Tar Heels Needed Run
For Brilliant Victory.
Virginia was unable to solve the of
ferings of Bill Ferebee in the annual
Greensboro classic at Cone Park Sat
urday afternoon, and emerged from 11
thrilling 2 to 1 contest defeated for the
seventh time in succession. The game
was delayed an hour by the antics of
Jupiter Pluvis, and plnying was suspend
ed a few minutes in the first inning on
account of an untimely April shower.
The remaining eight rounds were played
without interruption and 6,500 damp
but enthusiastic spectators, the largest
number ever witnessing a tussle in the
Gate City, were treated to an exhibition
of air-tight baseball, featured by the
brilliant fielding of both teams and op
portune hitting on the part of the Tar
Heels.
Pitching his first complete game for
Carolina, Ferebee was master of the
situation at all times nnd allowed the
Virginians hut four scattered hits. In
the sixth inning, after an error, fielder's
choice, an infield single had filled the
bases, the youngster shattered Old Do
minion hoties of forging ahead when he
calmly struck out the veteran Holland
on four pitched bnlls. Ferebee sent the
Orange and Blue batters back to the
bench in one, two, three order no lesn
than six times and fanned four men.
Carolina's first tally came in the third
frame when McDonnld led off with a
long drive to left center thnt was good
for three hnses had it not been for the
ground rules. The speedy little short-
ami came home when "Babbit Bonner

Site of Old Eben Alexander Home Will
Be the Future Retreat of
the Pair Co-eds.
Professor Hoyt, of the economics de
partment, spent the week-end in Wash
ington, D. C.
The University building committee
t a recent meeting selected the site of
he old Eben Alexander homo, next to
the Episcopal church on the east side,
as the location of the woman's build-
ng for which the executive committee
of the trustees lately voted $100,000.
The woman's building is not to be con
structed as a regular dormitory, how-
ver. It is to look more like a home,
and to be modelled as such both outside
nd inside as far as possible.
With the tearing down of the Alex-
nder house, an old landmark passes.
The house was formerly called the Revo
lutionary Land Warrant house, because
it was built from funds derived from
ho sale of public lands which had been
rantod the University by the state in
tend of cash.
When the University was reopened
fter the Civil War in 1875, the place
was occupied by John dcB. Hooper.
ater it became the home of Eben Alex-
uder, professor of Greek in the Uni
versity and American Ambassador to
Greece under Cleveland. C. W. Bain
then took the place. More recently it
as been occupied by Dr. J. B. Bullitt
t the Medical School and its present
occupant is W. E. Caldwell, professor
of history.
The woman's building will be near
the new Episcopal church which is to
be just east of the old one, the latter
not being disturbed.
