Vain Attempt to Stop Heavy
Hitting of Morris's Crew.
(By HANK PARKER)
Bill Ferebee, hero of the Virginia
game, held the fierce Wolfpack to four
scattered singles on Emerson field Sat
urday and whipped it into utter sub
mission, 11 to 4. Bryson, who was slat
ed to start the game, was on the sick
list and was unable to be in uniform.
Complete recovery from the grind of
their long southern trip as well as the
old fighting spirit was shown by the
Tar Heels. The three State pitchers
were hard hit, Allen being knocked out
in the third after he had given six hits.
Hill fared no better and made way for
Curtis in the fifth after four ruus and
four hits had been made off his deliv
ery. Curtis finished the game after
walking three men, yielding two hits
and having three runs scored off him.
"Monk" McDonald, midget short
stop, showed conclusively that all the
good old Scotch isn 't bottled in bond.
Out of five trips to the plate he con
nected for two singles, one double, and
was issued two free passes. With a per
fect day at bat and with two out in
the ninth, the "Monk" just couldn't
resist the temptation to make one little
bobble and as a result errored a meanly
hopping apple fresh from Gladstone's
bat.
One run and one hit were gathered
into the fold by State in the first. Ruth
was walked, sacrificed to second by
Gladstone, and scored when Sweetman
errored Correll's fly. Johnson who had
hit safely was tagged at third and Red-
fern went out at first.
McDonald, like Ruth, was given first
gratis. Joe McLean followed with a
neat single, sending Mac number one
to second. "Monk" advanced to third
and Joe to second on Holland's error
Bonner hit an easy roller to first and
was out. Shirley then sacrificed, scor
ing McDonald and sending McLean to
third, who hung up the second counter
on Casey Morris's hit. Sweetman mnd.i
the third out, beicg thrown out at the
initial sack.
Carolina failed to score in the second
but chalked up two markers in each
of the three following innings. In the
third canto, McDonald singled to left

TEN MEN TO BE PICKED
COMPARATIVE LITERATURE
FEATURES IN CATALOGUE
A New Department That of Compara
tive Literature Will Be Estab
lished Next Year.
Bamum's throe ring circus had no
thing on the spectacle presented at Em
ersou field Saturday when along with
the ball game and band concert, five
initiates of the Sigma Upsilon, national
literary fraternity, won the plaudits of
the crowd with a program of events
ranging from a fierce bull fight to a
graceful May pole dance.
Sharply at 2:30, the five Neophytes
frolicked to the field aud led three rous
ing cheers for the team and Casey Mor
ris. Bob Feltou, attired in a dress suit
and with a large card flapping on his
lean shoulders bearing the name of the
only girl, "Caroline," mounted tho
stands and endeavored to impress tho
crowd that his peanuts were really good
peanuts, but in spite of his coaxing he
only sold one bag. In the meanwhile,
Jim Hawkins announced to the crowd
that S. B. Midyette, the track author
ity, would run an exhibition quarter
mile against time in an effort to break
Meredith's long standing record. The
"Hay-Shaker" modestly stepped to the
forefront and warmod up, displaying
his muscular body, then stepped to tho
mark. Pcto Murphy fired the pistol
and the Hay-Shaker was off in a cloud
of dust. He sped around the track in 9
beautiful ground-covering stride, and
from the expression on the face of Jim
Hawkins, who was timing him with a
Big Ben, a new world's record seemed
inevitable. Even so, the Hay-Shaker
probably never would have lowered the
mark had not Ralph Maultsby, his
sweetheart, gaudliy costumed in a be
witching yellow dress and a jaunty
(Continued on Page Four)
In addition to a change in calendar,
faculty, and list of students, thi3 year's
catalogue contains a notice about a new
University department, that of Com
parative Literature. Comparative Lit
erature may be elected as a major or
minor department for the A. B. degree.
Nine professors in the various language
and literature departments make up the
staff of the new department.
The province of courses in the de
partment is defined as follows:
(1) To acquaint students with sig
nificant periods in the development of
human culture through the medium of
literature considered without regard to
national or linguistic bounds. (2) To
studv, through translations, the chief
literary masterpieces other than Eng
lish, ancient and modern. (3) To gain
some acquaintance with the special
traits of various nationalities as re
vealed in their literatures, thus sup
plementing the study of history and of
the various languages, and contribut
ing to a better understanding of inter
national relationships.
Nineteen courses are offered, so ar
ranged as to give juniors and seniors
abundant choice of subject, instructor,
aud presumably, of hours of meeting.
In the Fall quarter, for example, Pro
fessor Bernard's course in Greek Lit
erature may be elected, or a course in
Dante by Professor Huse or one in Lit
erary Criticism by Professod Foerstcr.
The department as a whole covers clas
sical, medieval and modern literature
in such a way as to introduce student?
to great literary masterpieces whether
or not they are able to read foreign
languages.
Students who proposo to register for
an honor's degree in language and lit
erature are expected to major in Com
parative Literature, but the courses are
by no means limited to such persons.
During the present year about 20 stu
dents have been registered in a course
giving a general survey of medieval lit
erature. Those who propose to major in Com
parative Literature should consult with
Professor Greenlaw, who is chairman
of the department.
The greatest collegiate honor that
can come to a student at Carolina, and
a fitting climax to four years of hard
honest work, will fall to the lot of ten
leaders of the campus on the night of
May 18, when the Senior Order of Gold
en Fleece initiates. Just who will re
ceive the coveted honor is uncertaiu.
There have been several predictions,
but we believe that some are destined
to be fooled; while others will go
through the act of feigning surprise.
However, he who is tapped is sure to be
worthy of the honor bestowed upon
him.
Golden Fleece was organized to ac
complish a great task. It has served
its original purpose, and now is used
as a means of recognizing and reward
ing merit. In 1904 Carolina was in the
dutches of an ever increasing conflict
between fraternitymen and nonfrater-
nitymen, athletes and literary society
men, journalists and scholars. It seem
ed that this conflict was destined to de
stroy everything that makes for the
best interest of the campus. Dr. Eben
Alexander and Prof. H. H. Williams
met with two representative students
for the purpose of trying to devise some
plan that would develop a spirit of co
operation among the conflicting groups.
Dr. Alexander had been a member of
Tale's famous senior order of Skull
and Bones, and proposed that Carolina
establish a senior order based on the
Skull and Bones, however modified in
many particulars. The plan finally adop
ted was the present senior order of
Golden Fleece. Ten men, leaders in
each of the conflicting groups, were
picked for membership in the Fleece.
The purpose in choosing them was that
they were to meet as brother members,
lay aside their petty difficulties, and
work earnestly for those things which
would foster a better spirit among the
student body as a whole. The Fleece
accomplished its task with startling
rapidity, and today Carolina is recog
nized as having one of the most demo
cratic and broad-minded student bodies
in the. United States. And now in the
absence of similar tasks to perform, the
Fleece has come to serve as a means
of bringing together and honoring those
seniors who have achieved the most in
the respective student activities. To
be invited to membership in the honor
able organization a man must have a
personality. Mere excellence in any
activity will not overcome this pre
requisite, and it is here that many hope
fuls fail to measure up to requirements.
One writer has named what he thinks
to be this year's pick. We believe
that he is due to many upsets. No one
not even the active Fleece know

Four teams remain in the running for
the high school baseball championship
of the state. Durham and Woodland
have survived in the east, while Shelby
and Pomona will cross bats for the
western gonfalon.
The semi-finals in the high school
championship were played Saturday. In
the east Durham defeated Ellerbe in a
closely contested game by a 2-1 score,
while Woodland downed Elizabeth City
to the tune of 4 0. Dick Gurlcy's Shel
byites trampled the sting out of Char
lotte's Hornets, the score being 9 to 0,
while Pomona, as expected, and due to
the great pitching of Barbee, downed
Winston-Salem.
Durham and Woodland meet in Chap
el Hill tomorrow for the eastern cham
pionship. Interest in the forthcoming
game is intense, inasmuch as neither
Durham nor Woodland has in the past
reached the finals for the eastern title.
Dick Gurley will lead his Shelby bat
tlers to Davidson, where the old State
College receiver's sticksmiths will at
tempt to solve tho offerings of Barbee,
the Pomona wonder-hurler in their con
test tomorrow.
DRUGGISTS' EXAM HERE
On June 15-16 the North Carolina
Board of Pharmacy will hold its annual
examinations for pharmacists' license
in Chapel Hill. This is a departure
from custom, since previously they have
been held in Raleigh. This change has
been made for the convenience of the
University students, who compose the
bulk of the applicants for the license.
The 1923 Carnival of the Satyrs, that
glorious, noisy festival which attends
the "spotting" of "neophytes," and
which will take place on May 25 in
stead of May 11, as originally an
nounced, will outshine any of its pre
decessors. This is assured by the very
reason of its condensation from the
ample bounds of Swain Hall to tho
more confining limits of Bynum Gym
nasium, if we may bolieve the law of
concentration of energy. The usually
drab old building will bo magnificent
ly festooned for the occasion and the
varied costumes of a host of the pret
tiest girls from all corners of this and
neighboring states will form a melange
of brilliant colors which will make the
inside of the erstwhile prosaic gymna
sium a complete stranger to its exterior.
All hail the season's crowning social
event!
The cabaret feature of last year,
which tended to drag a bit, will be
omitted this year. Instead of this,
Mile Oisette Calvi-Gazazza, one of the
most talented pupils of the great Helen
Moeller, will give one or more specially
selected aesthetic dances. Miss Calvi
Gazazza is a personal acquaintance of
Mr. Ernest Thompson, who was instru
mental in securing her services. There
will also be an exhibition dance by a
skilled couple. Otherwise, the Carnival
will be an orthodox masquerate ball,
with a beautiful figure dance included
and a final grand march. Alan McGee
is Leader of the Dance with LeGrand
Everette and Lloyd Williams as assist
ants. Music will be furnished by the
Carolina Club Orchestra.
Of course, the great event of the eve
ring will be the "spotting" of tho
new Satyrs. This will be done with the
usual picturesque ritual of the Satyrs
in their weird costume, with the added
feature of the active participation of
members of the faculty who are Satyrs.
Due to limited space, freshmen will
not be admitted to the Carnival this
year, and no one will be allowed on
the floor without costume. For the
same reason it is advisable to reserve
table space as early as possible. A
limited amount of standing room will
be sold.
A catalog from Miller's Costume
House will bo placed in Pritchard-Pat-terson's
Store, so that those who wish
to do so may order costumes according
to individual taste. A Satyr represen
tative will be on hand to supply order
blanks and information. The plan used
last year was found not to bo feasible.
The Satyr Carnival will be followed
Saturday night by a formal dance in
the gymnasium given by the "13"
Club, thus forming a sort of gala weekend.

BOTH DOUBLES TEAMS IN
MATCH TO DECIDE TITLE
All precedent is broken! For the
first time in the history of the Univer
sity two of her tennis teams are to
fight against each other for the cham
pionship honors of tho South. Both of
Carolina's doubles teams came through
to the finals in tho tournament which
has just been held in Atlanta, which
makes it necessary for them to play
each other here to determine tho strong
est doubles team in Dixie.
Jernigan was able to force his way
through to the finals, but was forced
to yield his hopes of Southern honors
in the singles to Murray, of Tulane, to
the tune of a 6-4, 6-0, 6-4 score.
Bob Thompson, member of the Tar
Heel staff last year, is now connected
with the Durham Sun in capacity of
reporter. He has been working for the
Greensboro Dailv News.
WEST VIRGINIA DEBATE
Carolina is to send a debating
team composed of three men, C. A.
Peeler, Geo. C. Hampton, Jr., and J.
M. Saunders, to debate against a
team representing the University of
West Virginia in Morgantown, W.
Va., on the night of May 19. They
will uphold the affirmative side of
the question, which reads: "Resolv
ed That an excess profits tax should
he made a part of the federal fiscal
system."
The annual Hillside Meeting of the
Y. M. C. A. Cabinet was held on the
west end of Emerson field Sunday after
noon with 20 members of the new and
old cabinets present. This hill-side gath
ering each spring, where both the re
tiring and incoming members assemble,
is perhaps the most important and im
pressive meeting of the whole year. It
is customary to hold this meeting on
the hill side north of Cobb's Terrace,
but due to uncertain weather conditions
it was decided best to have it nearer
the stadium where shelter was avail
able. Reports were heard from all the re
tiring officers and heads of the various
departments, giving suggestions which
might help the new officers and men
who will succeed them next year.
Mr. Comer, in reporting that the Uni
versity was now appropriating $6,000
for the Y. M. C. A. each year, stated
that this amount was $3,000 more than
was paid to its Y. M. C. A. by any
other state institution in the United
states, lie said that this was a sure
proof of the University's confidence in
the work of the Y. M. C. A., and that
it should bo an incentive for more ef
fective work from the cabinet and those
students interested in Y. M. C. A. work.
The secretary's report contained sev
eral valuable suggestions as to how the
Y. M. C. A. might function so as to
reach a larger number of tho student
body. Among these suggestions was
that a radio outfit be installed in the
social room of the Y. M. C. A. and a
radio concert be given certain nights
during each week. The treasurer's re
port suggested several improvements
in the manner of getting finances from
the students and faculty. Ho stated
that several pledges which have been
due for some time are still unpaid.
Parson Moss was present and pledged
anew his services to assist the cabinet
in any way possible. Reports on the
Blue Ridge Conference indicated that
this year tho University's delegation
would far exceed that of any previous
year. About sixty students have al
ready made known to Mr. Comer that
they aro planning to attend tho confer
ence June 15-25.
Refreshments, consisting of sand
wiches, cakes aud lemonade wero served
during the course of the meeting.
Unless the Board of Trustees In
terfere Plan Will Be Put in
Operation Next Year.
A REPRESENTATIVE VOTE
The Publicatons Union Plan Will
Insure Much Better and
Larger Publications.
(By HENRY D. DULS)
By the overwhelming vote of 876 to
141 tho student body passed the pub
lications union plan last Friday. This
moans that beginning noxt year, if the
board of trustees offers no opposition,
three students who will be elected by
tho student body and two faculty mem
bers to be appointed by tho President
of the University will constitute a super
visory board over tho Tar Heel, tho
Carolina Magazine and the Yackety
Yack; that tho editor-in-chief of each
publication shall bo olbcted by the stu
dent body, and that every student shall
pay a fee of $1.83 to the Uuiversity
treasurer each quarter in return for a
year's subscription to the Tar Heel,
tho Magazine, aud one volume of the
Yackety Yack.
The vote, totalling 1,017, is consid
ered quite representative of the studont
body since there are hardly moro than
1,800 students in school now and that
many declined to take a stand on tho
proposition one way or the other. The
slight opposition offered is indicative
of the fact that thero is no strong sen
timent on the campus against the propo
sition. The only thing which can prevent
this organization from going into opera
tion for the next two years aud then
being automatically brought up for
another vote is prompt action by the
University board of trustees. This,
however, is not anticipated by many
because the trustees willingly consented
to the athletic fee and the debating fee,
and the present proposition merely put
the publication on an equal footing.
For years bofore tho passage of the
athletic fee, Carolina's teams were han
dicapped bocaime they had not adequate
facilities. The same was true of de
bating until tho passage of the 50-cent
fee last fall. The publications have
been on an old, worn-out, pre-historie
basis until now. It is considered only
reasonable to expect that the publica
tions union and tho publications fee
will do for the publications what the
same did for tho athletic association
and the debate council.
Heretofore tho Tar Heel has been
published officially by the athletic asso

UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS
ARE IN GREAT DEMAND
High Schools From All Sections of the
State Send in Calls for Com

University professors are in great
demand these Spring days. With high
schools all over the state holding their
commencement exercises, tho University
profs are receiving ealls from all sec
tions to deliver the usual spring com
mencement addresses. Although all pro
fessors do not deliver commencement
addresses, it does seem that practically
all of them, at least once in their life
here, deliver a minimum of one address
before some society or assembly of peo
ple. Our own University Prof. 's are
keeping up tho style, and addresses,

A host of beautiful girls attended
tho dances at the University last week
end. Where they came from ami who
all of thorn wero is a mystery to a
more 'fur Heel reporter. The Owl Club
came across with two dances unrivalled
certainly by any but tho regular Fall,
Easter or final dances.
Friday night the gymnasium was the
scene of a colorful and entirely delight
ful party. There was just enough crowd
to make it really pleasant dancing. An
other thing, too, addeil a great deal. It
is rumored that a full half dozen of
girls from the renowned Sweet Briar
wero here.
It can be truly said that never be
fore has tho student body been treated
with quito so full a color display, nor
with near so many different styles and
types of flowing robes as graced the
damsels that reigned in the gymnasium
Friday night.
Saturday night, however, was the
gala night. Those who thought they
had had a big time at the first night
dance accede the latter to be the pin
nacle of dancing and other enjoyments
that go with a big night. Winning a
game from State College, music by the
Carolina Club, and charming ladies,
were enough to drown out temporarily
the shadows of coming examinations.
The Carolina Club could not have
been better. They delighted the danc
ers and kept the crowd upstairs enter
tained. The fact that the dances were
formal added a great deal to their ap
pearance, according to members of tho
faculty aud townspeople. The Owl
Club announces that they will give a
number of dances in the future.
