Nov. 6, 1923 No. 14 JUSTICE STACY IS OFFERED LAW SCHOOL DEANSHIP Executive Committee Votes Unanimously to Urge Mr. Stacy to Accept Position DECISION IN A FEW DAYS By a unanimous vote the execu tive committee of the University Board of Trustees offered the dean ship of the University Law School, recently made vacant by the death of Dean McGehee, to Associate Justice "W. P. Stacy Saturday. The commit tee was enthusiastic in its tender of the appointment but the justice asked for a few days in which to take the appointment under consideration. President Chase presented the mat ter to the committee Saturday with the recommendation . that Justice Stacy be urged to accept the dean ship. The committee acted upon the suggestion of the University presi dent and offreed the position to Mr. Stacy. He was called into confer ence with the committee while the details of the offer were discussed. Governor Morrison in presenting the decisions of the committee urged "him "in spite of your high position now to decide that you will accept this position and serve the state as dean of the law school." On the campus, both with the stu dents and the faculty, Justice Stacy is extremely popular and it is hoped that he will accept the offer. Of course the jurist has a great prob lem to decide, that of whether to serve his state by remaining on the bench where he has a wonderful op portunity to rise or to accept the of fer and serve his state by instruct ing its youth in legal matters.

FOERSTER'S BOOK OFF PRESS Second Edition of "Nature in American Literature" By University Man KLUTTZ BUILDING IS TO HAVE NEW FRONT That Chapel Hill is a progressive little : town is evidenced by the pro tection scaffold that has been raised in front of the old Kluttz building in the, last day or two. The scaffold, which is" a rare thing in villages, was erected by S. B. Lawrence and Bro. while they remodled the front fo the store. A new plate glass front will 'decor ate this part of the building in the next two weeks. A new sidewalk will be put down and the old ,,iree which stands just in front, will be taken up. . The Kluttz building was the first brick building to be erected in Chapel Hill. Thirty years ago it was consid ered a very fine building. Our own Professor of English. Pro fessor Norman Forester,- has just had printed the second edition of a book, "Nature in American Literature." The first edition came off the press in Feb. 1923, and has baen exhaust ed. As Professor Foerster says in his introduction, "with only two or three exceptions all of our major (American) writers have displayed both a striking curiosity as to the facts of the external world and an ardent emotional devotion to nature because of her beauty or divinity." It is this aspect of American liter ature, as seen in the work of nine of America's chiefest writer's that Professor Forester discusses. ' "It is the purpose," he says, "of the studies that follow to trace the development of this naturalistic move ment in American literature from Bryant to Whitman and the typical essayists of the present century, de termining more fully and precisely than has yet been done how much of nature out authors were acquainted with and what place she has held in their hearts and thoughts." Professor Forester begins his book with a short discussion of nature's place i American literature up to Bryant, and, beginning with Bryant, he takes up the individual writer and discusses with keen insight the man, his background of life with nature, and the expression of nature in his works. He follows the same method for Whittier, Emerson, Thoreau, Low ell, Whitman, Lanier, Muir, and Bur roughs. Professor Foerster's style is clear, pithy, and attractive; he quotes fre quently pertinent selections from his authors, and discusses with ' broad sympathy the little incidents of "hu man interest" that make literary es says worth enjoying. SENIOR SMOKER The Senior class will have its first smoker of the year at the Carolina Cafeteria, Thursday night November 8. An attractive program has been arranged and the Executive Committee urges all Seniors to attend.

One resolution and one bill were discussed. A resolution resolving that " " -"I"--"- --.piaying oi nasseiman s take gym was passed by a vote of 40 to 20. The first bill of the year to be discussed, entitled "A Bill to Abolish Capital Punishment in North Carolina," was overwhelmingly de feated, only 1 1 votes being cast in the affirmative. Everything from Biblical quotations to the old joke about the hangman's noose being the greatest lesson the murderer ' would ever learn, were brought forth eith er in defense or in opposition to the bill. Two freshmen waged a verbal Biblical battle, quoting wholesale from the Good Book, one seeking to show that capital punishment should be discarded and the other that it should not. One could have closed his eyes and imagined that he was present at a serious conclave of Meth odist preachers. Ham-Ramsey and Cyclone Mack would have' been put to puritanical shame. Mr. Lionel Weil, an alumnus of the University and sponsor of the Weil lectures, in his college days a staunch Phi man, was among those present and made a' very' short -talk- in which he expressed-the opinioiL 'that the standard ;of debate, .today . . . is ..above . what, jtwas"iri days of' 30 . years 'ago.' r-l.-."'""" -A harp 'concert probably the best o'clock Sunday afternoon in'Memor musical treat that Chapel Hill has had this season, was given at three ial hall by 'Miss Katherine Riggs, of Washington, D.

For this purpose the University has invited the distinguished scholar, author, and editor, Dr. William R. Shepherd, professor of history at Columbia University, to deliver a public lec ture on the Monroe Doctrine to the student body and to conduct a week's seminar on the relations of the United States and the' Latin American Nations. Announcement of the above was made by the De partment of History and Government, under whose auspices the lecture and the course are to be offered. A native of South Carolina, Profes sor Shepherd received his academic education at Columbia, Berlin, and Madrid. For many years he has been a professor in the graduate school ; of Columbia University sand has offered courses in the fields of Latin-American History, Historical Geography, and the. Expansion of Eu rope, in which subjects he is recog nized as one of the greatest author ities. , He . is known and honored ahiong scholars as a successful teacher and lecturer,., as. a keen " in vestigator and archivist, as a travel er and ks the author of many books :'&nd monographs. He has served as a member of two of the Pan-American Scientific Congresses, and as secre tary of the American delegation' to the Fourth ' Fan-American Confer ence at Buenos 'Aires in 1U0. He is a member of many historical, liter ary, . and scientific societies in the United States, Spain, Cuba, Chili, Argentina; and Venezuela. The class in Latin-American, under Dr. Piersori, will form the nucleus around1 which the seminar courses will be built. Dr. Fierson, who stu died '.under Dr. Shepherd at Columr bia, will discontinue his lectures to the class during that week. Barring unforeseen accidents, Caro lina will send her team to Richmond in the best condition that it has been since the opening Wake Forest game. Morris has recovered from his acute attack of appendicitis and will be in shape to play. None of the men who were in any way injured were used in the game with South Carolina last week, and by Nov 10 the team should be in ideal condition. V. M. I. has been seriously handi capped by the loss of "Windy" White, regarded as one of the best fullbacks in. the South, who was injured in the game with N C. State. Unless he is able to return to the game by Saturday the "Flying Squardron" will be shorn of much of its power. The Virginians hold forth as favor ites in Richmond and the Cadet Corp is planning, to attend the game in a body. Many Alumni and Students from Carolina are making their plans to attend the game and Casey Morris is certain to have plenty of moral support for his team.

Captain Douglas Kims' Tar Heel Froshies strutted their stuff Satur day in a manner very impressionable; in fact they played as good a game of football as a Freshmen team in many a year has put up on Emer son Field. They defeated the Mary land Freshmen by score of 19 to 0; made 1C first downs to the visitors' one, and had a general field day all to themselves. . ' The Yearlings played easily the best game of the season. Right af ter the kick-off, in the first two min utes of play, they carried the ball down the field on four consecutive first downs and Dill carried the oval across for a touchdown. Hackney went across for the second touch down in the second quarter, while Captain Nims registered the final six points of the afternoon's melee in the third setto. Clontz, 260 pounds in beef and 19 years in age, was very much in. the limelight. His heftiness failed to keep him from being active, and he was down the field under punts often ahead of his ends, on one occasion spilling a Maryland back in his shoes after snapping the oval back to Nims, who did the. punting. .The punting of' Nims and an ex cellent tackle by Hackney were also features. The latter made a flying ! .'(Continued on Page 4) Push Ball Will Get Underway Shortly Dormitory managers of push-ball teams met Monday night in Alumni No. 14 with Jonny Purser, who is promoting the contests, and drew up rules for the contests. During . the meeting Purser announced that the Laundry had promised to give a sil ver loving cup to the dormitory win ning the push-ball championship. The championship is to be decided' by means of a series of elimination con tests, so that no one team will have a game after being once defeated. It was further decided that the cham pionship game should be played be tween the halves of the Carolina-Vir ginia Thanksgiving football game. A copy of the rules will be sent out to each manager with the request that he explain these rules to the men who-shall form his team.

The runners set out from the sta-. dium promptly at 2:45 and followed a devious course which led to Cam eron Avenue, down Cameron Avenue to the Raleigh Road, up Raleigh Road to Rosemary Lane, along Rose mary Lane to Church Street, down Church Street to Franklin Avenue; lip Franklin Avenue to Graded School Yard, through Graded School alley to Cameron Avenue, back to the stadium and around the track.

Al though the Gamecocks failed to make a single first down during the game they put up one of the strongest de fensive games ever seen in Columbia and kept the score down by putting up a stonewall defense whenever their goal line was in danger. Fetzer clearly played the ..game with V. M. I. on his mind. McDon-' nld, Fordham, Shepherd and Robin son, all of whom were, able to have ' played, were conserved for future use. Morris was left in the Infirmary at Chapel Hill In spite of the great number of substitutes, the Game cocks were unable to gain ground. The Tar Heels repeatedly drove the South Carolinians to within their twenty yard zone but lacked the necessary punch to put the ball over the line. While in midfield Carolina ran wild but the line busting ability of 1922 was missing and Jeffords, South Carolina half-back repeatedly took the ball on downs and kicked the ball far down the field to safety. Carolina would then laboriously work it down the field again. " 'i.. All the scoring was done in the second quarter.

The lot have arrived and as soon as being catalogued, Will be placed in the' Law Library. All the volumes are old, bound in sheepskin and "bear the name of Pearsons. They cover the early laws, codes, reports and Legislative docu ments of North Carolina. The old English laws are also given, togeth er with treatises and Commentaries on various subjects. While glancing through one of the volumes this law, put into effect in 1483, was found, "whoever maliciously shall strike any person w th a weapon in the church yard or d'aw a weapon there with the intent'on to strike shall have one of his ears cut off; and if he have no ears shall be marked on the cheek with a not iron with the letter "F" that he may be known as a, fighter." A :. large ' number of personal let ters are 'among the collection, many bearing 'on interesting, topics. His Law' License ' and Commission as court Judge are also .included; SECOND MEETING A. Ph. A. The local chapter of tWe American Pharmaceutical Association held its second meeting of the, year in Phar macy Hall Wednesday night at 7:30. An average number of members were present, the most of whom were old members. The Association was addressed by Dr. Billy McNider, who told them what a pharmacist should and should not do. A comparison and contrast j was made between the pharmacist and the doctor; the duties of each were outlined. The drug store of to day said Dr. McNider is not strictly sticking to prescription alone as did the old ones. One of the second year men then read an article on the relation of pharmacy to chemistry. And the business meeting, which followed, three teams were elected to solicit membership among the new men. Arrangements were also made for a bunquet and a lecture by Dr. A.' Q. DuMez of Washington, both of which will be held sometime - this month. ' When President Raper adjourned the Di Society last Saturday night, the "curtain rang down" on the best and most interesting discussion which that body has had this year. It is the first time this year that a sub ject has been discussed which has proved to be of interest to the so ciety in general. Many, of the old members made fine speeches and even several of the frehhmcn were suffi ciently aroused to step forth and voice their opinions. The society debated on whether or not the roll call should be eliminated from the regular proceedings at meetings, and attendance ' placed on a strictly honorary basis. Mr. Leo nard Huggins led the debate with an excellent speech for the negative. Speech upon speech followed, elo quence flowed freely and many em bryo Ciceros made their first appear ance in the realm of forensic speak-, ing. E. H. Hartsell and J. W. Dey ton stood up for their opinions with forceful arguments; each in his turn swaying the house to the one side and then the other. A motion to take a vote on the discussion was made, but the orators were not to be denied, so it continued until every possible angle of the question had been thrashed out. When a vote was finally taken, the affirmative car (Continued on Page 4) I ' ' I ' ;: lit!, '!r.-i,' (i "' -.l, J.. Mr t.il .M'l'.Uri;, ! j J: I.1 lVi ( . . . 'V"': .M l-C, ! 1 im I t ;: 1 i V". !
