SCHOOL OF CIVIL
ENGINEERING AT
SUMMER CAMP
Practical Application of Theore
tical Work Was the Sum
mer's Work.
CAMP AT BREVARD
Practical application of the theo
retical work given in the classroom
was carried on by the school of engi
neering amid ideal conditions and un
equalled scenery near . Brevard this
past summer. Here for eight weeks
members of the sophomore class of
the civil engineering school grappled
with the physical side of problems
that heretofore they encountered only
in a tentative or speculative way. The
workings of this idea resulted in the
most valuable practical knowledge
combined with the physical recupera
tion that work in the open almost in
variably brings.
The co-operative system consisting
of part time employment in the engi
neering industry and part time in
struction at the University was car
ried on, and in order that the theo
retical instruction given the junior
class should be fully equal to the reg
ular four year non-co-operative sched
ule the summer term at the close of
the Sophomore year has been pro
vided. In this summer camp practi
cal instruction was given in plain and
topographical surveying, highway en
gineering and hydrographic work. To
the end that the problems to be con
sidered should be of a really practical
nature, a location for a camp was
chosen in a section where natural con
ditions afforded the basis for such
problems, numerous and varied.
Meeting all these requirements, and
having every feature of an ideal lo
cation, is Camp Sapphire, two and
one-half miles east of Brevard.
Camp Sapphire is one of the most
noted of the many splendid summer
camps for boys that are scattered
through the mountains of Western
North Carolina. Besides the natural
adaptability of the country surround
ing the work in hand the engineer
ing class was fortunate in having the
privilege of its fine equipment, its
recreational advantages, and splendid
accomodations. This privilege was
granted by Coach Bill Fetzer, director
of Camp Sapphire. The members of
the engineering camp enjoyed all the
privileges of the camp, the same as
the regular patrons of the camp.
Some of the forms of recreation are
bathing and boating in the beautiful
eight-acre lake, baseball, tennis, gym
nasium work, and reading in the well
provided reading room. From Satur
day noon until Monday morning the
students are free to spend their time
any way or anywhere it suits them.
The personnel ot the camps was as
follows: H. F. Janda, associate pro
fessor of highway engineering, in
structor and director; C. G. Barton,
Jr., Earle, Ark.; F. M. Bell, Salisbury;
C. M. Brandt, Asheville; P. D. Carter,
Chapel Hill; W. C. Chears, Sanford;
W. A. Cramer, Willoughby Beach, Va.
R. P. Farrel, Chapel Hill; M. M. Grier,
Gastonia; M. F. Hetherington, Jr.,
Lakeland, Fla.; H. A. Lawrence, New
York City;; M. B. Logie, Manatee,
Fla.; F. H. Moss, Lillington; E. D.
Owen, Raleigh.
DR. W. C. COKER IS
AUTHOR OF BOOK
Dr. W. C. Coker, Professor of Bot
any, has almost completed a book
which will be published by the Uni
versity Press within a few weeks.
This book, "Clavarias of the United
States and Canada," has descrip
tions of all known species of Cla
varias, or coral mushrooms. Another
book by Dr. Coker, "The Saprolegnia
ceae," was issued during the summer.
Mr. Totten, also of the Botany De
partment, has been made Assistant
Professor. In the August edition of
the Journal of the Elisha Mitchell
Scientific Society Mr. Totten has an
article, "The Development of Fruit
body of a N w Parasitic Rhizopogon,"
which has caused much favorable comment.
DEBATE PROSPECTS
LOOK PROMISING
Six debating and oratorical con
tests have been scheduled for this
year, according to one of the mem
bers of the debate council.
Thus far Carolina's debating
schedule lacks only a debate for
the fall quarter, and efforts are be
ing made to get Emory University,
Georgia, or Virginia to fill this date.
The usual annual debates with
South Carolina, Kentucky, West Vir
ginia, the Washington and Lee
Johns Hopkins Carolina triangle,
the Southern Oratorical contest
and the National Literary Society de
bate at Washington have been de
finitely scheduled. Dates and the
queries for debate will not be an
nounced until later in the year .
Rumors are being heard around
the campus to the effect that Caro
lina may not enter the Peace Con
test this year, though the scheduling
of that event Is so far in the future
as to make a definite prediction im
possible. Among last year's intercollegiate
debaters who have relumed to school
are George Hampton, J. M. Saun
ders, C. A. Peeler, J. W. Deyton,
and J. W. Foister. Debaters lost
from last year are V. V. Young,
who won the National Debate at
Washington, and J. McKinley
Brown.
CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT
TRANSFERS ITS CLASSES
With over 550 undergraduates tak
ing Chemistry it has been necessary
to transfer some of the classes to
Davie Hall. It is not known as yet
whether all those registered for
courses can be accomodated.
Dr. Bell has announced that Chem
istry 1 and 2 will be given in the
Spring and Winter quarters. 'This
schedule is not given in the cata
logue. The class, however, will be
limited to sixty students, on account
of limited laboratory space.
A few Chemistry students who left
Carolina last year have gone into the
teaching profession. Among there
are: J. L. McEwen, acting Professor
of Chemistry at Atlantic Christian
College, E. 0. Moehlmann, Cooper
Union, New York City, J. A. Bender,
Assistant Professor of Chemistry at
Clem son, and H. G. Pickett, instruc
tor of Chemistry at V. P. I.
THE COUNTRY CLUB IS
TO GIVE FORMAL DANCE
The Chapel Hill Country Club will
have its formal opening for
the season Wednesday night with a
picnic supper and dance.
Grass was planted some time ago,
and nice turf is growing on a few
of the fairways. A few of the nine
holes that have been planned will be
ready for use by spring. Part of
the woods have been cleared away,
and rocks are being hauled off and
sold. A few tennis courts will be
layed off for next year. :
A plan is being considered by
which a limited number of students
will receive invitations entitling them
to golf privileges. The club has over
one hundred and twenty members at
present.
Many visitors are expected on tha
Hill Saturday for the game.

ERNEST THOMPSON GETS
PLAYMAKER FELLOWSHIP
Two University alumni, whose
names have not been made public,
recently established the Edward Kid
der Graham fellowship for the
Carolina Playmakers. The fellow-,
shi-i, valued at $500, is to be award
ed c:.ch' year to some promising
playwright in order that he may do
advanced work in playwriting at the
University. Ernest Thompson, 6?
Goldsboro, has been connected with
the Carolina Playmakers for some
time. He wrote "Mamma" and
"Wilbur's Cousin'", which the play
makers produced last season.
Wrestling Team
Starts Training
Wrestling, Carolina's newest ma
jor sport, started off with a vim
Wednesday, when every man on last
year's squad reported to Coach A. A.
Shapiro for the first workout. Thirty
new men were out. Competition for
places on the team promises to be the
liveliest seen on any team in the
University.
Former Captain Poindexter, heavy
weight, who is now playing football,
will report after the Thanksgiving
game with Virginia.
Captain Waters, Burke, Vick, Ha
gan, Matheson, Schwartz, Bostic,
Eaves, King, Waters, Perdue are
among some of last year's squad
back for a try at the team.
A. E. Shackell, of Edenton, as
manager, will be assisted by F. D.
Burroughs and W. D. Madry.
The schedule is as yet incomplete,
the only part of it ready for publi
cation is the invasion of Virginia:

Dean Paulsen Makes
Comparison of Service
In order to keep the service of the
Laundry right up to top notch, Super
intendent Paulsen made a cross-country
trip from Aug. 16 until Sept. 11,
going as far west as Kansas, visiting
laundry plants of three large institu
tions of the country. At the first of
these institutions which he visited
ane of the most interesting things
loted was the increase of not less than
;we;.ty -eight per cent over the prices
chr.rged by the laundry at Carolina.
At the other two institutions the
laundry plants were leased to private
owners, they charging practically the
regular commercial rat3. He reports
that Carolina not only has the best
equipment, but is turning ov.t equally
as good work as any seen and on an
average charge cf thirty-four and two
tenths per cent less than the others
visited.
Fred Morris, Carolina backfield star
of last season, and brilliant third sack
er was on the Hill Wednesday after a
successful season in professional ball.

COLLEGE NIGHT IS BIG SUCCESS
(Continued from page 1)
of the honor or wearing the key than
of the worthwhile things which are to
be gained from close application to
their studies.
Coach "Bob" Fetzer set forth one
of the sides of athletic achievement
which is probably not stressed enough
in our present athletic system, the
acquisition of character and good
sportsmanship as aids in the devel
opment of good citizens opposed to
the idea of merely winning gamt-s
which so many have at present.
C. B. Colton, with his description of
the worthwhileness of work on the
publications and his explanation of
the Publications Union, made an in
teresting and informing talk. He
told of work on the Tar Heel, the
Carolina Magazine and the Yackety
Yack and showed what a great help
such work was in the full realization
of the best things which are to ba
gained in college life.
In setting forth the work of the
Carolina Playmakers quite a pleas
ing digression was made from the
regular flow of speeches of the even
ing by the presentation of an ex
tract from one of Ernest Thompson's
plays, "Wilbur's Cousin." This was
given after a short and very pleas
ing introductory talk by George V.
Denny.
George Ragsdale was accorded the
honor of presenting the work of all
the other organizations of the campus
as a whole, including the honor of
making the "Booloo Club."
Jack Allsbrook, President of the
Student Council, gave its aims and
purposes, and challenged new men,
telling them that they were soon to
be the leaders of the campus, to do
all in t'.:air power to strengthen the
power of student government so that
it would be a credit to the University
and therefore to each one of them.
The concluding talk of this most
most enjoyable evening was made by
Albert Coates, an old Carolina man
who is now teaching in the Law
School. He tried to make the fresh
men see that this was to be the time
of their lives upon which they would
look later with the tenderest of feel
ings and that they should at all times
conduct themselves in such a manner
as to cast credit upon the institution
which they will later love with all the
love due to their Alma Maer.
The program was concludd by the
singing of "Hark the Sound" to the
aceompanyment of the fine new band.
