1VAGSTAFF TALKS
ON WORLD PEACE
Delivers Interesting Lecture On
World Peace Problems
Sunday Nifcht
Sunday night in the Methodist
church. Dr. Wagstaff of the History
, Department delivered a very inter
esting talk on the subject of world
peace. Dr. Wagstaff stated that the
question of world peace was one of
the most vital issue that has arisen
in the world in all generations. The
world has at last been shown the
need of establishing some means of
avoiding war. Dr. Wagstaff empha
sized the fact that world peace, as all
other desirable conditions, would be
obtained after much time. It will
not be wrought out in years or may
be centuries. Several conditions are
necessary before world peace can be
obtained. In the first place, each in
dividual must have a peaceful mind.
In the second place, the idea of peace
must dwell within the community.
Then it must spread into the state
and nation, until it finally becomes a
worldly idea:
Dr. Wagstaff stated that world
peace would be a slow evolution or
even impossible before certain condi
tions were remedied. Among these is
that the different interests of each
individual country will have to be
welded into common interests that
effect every nation as a whole. Na
tions have not yet reached the same
stage of development, therefore their
intrests cannot be common and the
same. All nations have rights which
they think are better than any rights
of any othre nations and unless these
rights become the rights of the world,
world organziations cannot be reali
zed. The World War only halfway
shows that world peace would be an
asset to civilization. Complete na
tional understanding must be had the
world over before the great ideal of
thinking statesmen such as our late
president, Woodrow Wilson, can be
xealized. ......
FRESHMEN ELECT
CLASS OFFICERS
Freshman Debating Society A&ain
Elects A Non-Football Man
For President
When J. A. Williams rode into the
presidency of the freshman class by
a sizable plurality, the Freshman De
bating Society continued a precedent
established last year and for the sec
ond consecutive time the freshman
class awarded its highest office to a
man not a hero of the gridiron. Al
though the names of three freshman
backfield stars appeared on the pri
mary ballot none ot tnese came
through to the final vote.
As last year, however, the old in
stinct displayed itself in the run foj
vice-president. B. W. Hackney, foot
ball luminary, defeated T. J. Pear
sail, a team-mate, for this office bj
a good majority. Possibly the for
mer's 50-yard run in the N. C.-S. C
Freshman game Saturday influencec
numerous wavering voters, although
it is likely that the Durham politica
clique had a fist in the stew pot.
The ballot for Secretary-treasure)
was much closed and contested foi
only by ordinary mortals. G. E. Joy-
ner bested J. C. Goodson for this of
fice by a plurality of five votes.
The primary election narrowed
fields of eleven, nine and seven for
president, vice-president and secretary-treasurer,
respectively, to three
candidates for each office. The tabu
lated results of the final were as fol
lows: President J. A. Williams,
165; W. E. Harvell, 129; J. K. Riser,
46. Vice-President B. W. Hackney,
181; T. J. Pearsall, 97; J. E. Cal
houn, 62. Secretary-Treasurer G. E
Joyner, 130; J. C. Goodson, 125; Jay
Fuller Brawn, 82.
Carolina Student
Hurt In Accident
A telegram was received yesterday to
the effect that James II. Van Ness, III,
was not seriously hurt in the accident
which occurred Saturday en route to
Richmond.
What might have ended in one of the
worst accidents of the year happened
just about thirty miles this side of
Petersburg, and by some trick of fate
it was not fatal to the lives of the four
Carolina students and Mr. W. F. Up
shaw, of Raleigh. Mr. Upshaw and his
son, J. A. Upshaw, were on the front
seat of a seven-passenger Marmon
owned by Mr. Upshaw when a fast run
ning car rounding a curve directly in
front of them, and unable to keep its
balance, struck them and ended by turn
ing over in a ditch.
No one was injured in either car ex
cept James Van Ness. The rumor that
his arm was broken is false. Although
badly shakened and bruised he is rapid
ly recovering. He was asleep when the
crash occurred. A passing car rushed
him to a Richmond hospital where he is
reported resting easily and will return
to Chapel Hill soon. Both cars were ,
pretty badly smashed.
DEAN COMMENDS MASS.
In chapel Monday morning, Dean
Bradshaw presented two issues to the
student body, one pleasant and the oth
er unpleasant.
He urged that every man take some
part in the mass athletics that are now
being conducted by the University.
Since 95 per cent of college men become
engaged in secretarial pursuits it is nec
essary that they be trained to take exer
cise after working hours, in order that
they may keep physically fit.
- The unpleasant issue was that more
care be taken of the dormitory corri
dors' and window panes and that the
throwing of paper on the campus be
avoided.
GRANT GETS BETTER
Alumni Secretary D. L. Grant has
received a letter from T. G. Doggy"
Trent-hard, who coached the Carolina
Varsity eleven during the years 1914-15.
Trent-hard predicts that Carolina will de
feat Virginia, and in his letter says:
"Tell the coaches, captain, and play
ers for me that I believe they can beat
Virginia if they put up their hardest
fight and do not become discouraged or
confused."
"Doggy" is now connected with the
Standard Oil Company, of New York,
and is working in Brooklyn. He states
that all of the Brooklyn Alumni are pull
ing hard for a Thanksgiving victory.
Trenchard coached at Carolina in the
days before Tommy Campbell's regime,
and was very popular with the student
body.""'

PHI DISCUSSES i
MANY SUBJECTS
Number of Bills and Resolutions
Feature Saturday Ni&ht Ses
sion of Phi.
Congress should not be given power to
pass national divorce laws through the
medium of a , Federal constitutional
amendment; the Philippine Islands
should not be declared free; and the
state's famous "non-stop" automobile
law should not be repealed, was the defi
nite decision reached by the Pbi Assem
bly Saturday night, i,
Discussion on the divorce question was
very tame, it livened up somewhat on
the Philippines, with J. M. Saunders
contributing some timely humor, and
discussion on the stop law was both
snappy and humorous. On the whole, it
was an excellent meeting. ',....
Leading the discussion on the divorce
evil were Z. T. Fortescue and C. E.
Spencer. Freedom for the Philippines
was upheld by W. T. Couch; it was as
strongly condemned by J. M. Saunders.
The railway non-stop law suffered severe
censure amid some would-be humor on
the part of J. M. Saunders and M. M.
Young. Abram Wiel brought up statis
tics to show the non-stop law caused a
ioss of $1,000,000 every ten weeks in drip
ping gasoline. Underpasses and over
passes entered the discussion. It all
availed nothing; the noise of the oppo
sition was in vain, for they mustered but
five supporters when it came time to
vote.
W. M. Saunders, in behalf of the
Freshmen Intra-society debate commit
tee, reported that the debate will be
held Saturday 'night, December first.
The query is: Resolved: That the United
States should join the Wo.-Id Court..
Several freshmen announced their inten-,
tions of trying out. for the debate.

RAGSDALE DONS
THE RED SHIRT
Editorial Policy of November Ca
rolina Magazine Takes On
A Radical Touch
(By J. Osier Bailey)
One month ago we suggested
"amazing" editorials, and something
in the way of illustrations for the
Magazine. This month the editors
have provided us with a cut of Alumni
Building, and while not startling us,
at least have written an editorial
page worth remarking.
Perhaps the most pertinent thing
that has been said on the campus in
a very long time is contained in two
little paragraphs about leadership in
the article entitled The Dawn of a
New Day. Trinity's new coach makes
an otherwise timely editorial out of
place. Food for Thought is an ideal
in indefiniteness; Evolution is a
worthy model, but the meaning of
the two is not hard to guess. The
editorials are hardly a resume of
Willie Horner's red-shirt regime,
but at least they are tinted a most
exquisite pink.
It first struck us an an extreme
faux pas to have printed Lucy Cobb's
Gaius and Gaius, Jr., just before it
is to be produced by the Playmakers.
Perhaps we are wrong: Professor
Graves, in lecturing on English 3,
used to say that the way to get the
best appreciation of a play is to read
it before seeing it, and again after
ward. The success of the play on the
stage this week-end will be its just
criterion.
The November Magazine is filled
with a profusion of verse, and a
mighty paucity of poetry. It would
be only fair to the versifiers to say
that some of them seem to have an
idea to express, but the music to
produce feeling and words chosen
to provoke thought are each in only
scanty evidence. In short, "H. C."
on page 24, has the idea about it; he
frankly admits that his Muse attends
him not! Forced verse is far worse
than no verse at all. Perhaps Infin
ity, The Passing Crowd, and Dere
lict are the nearest approaches to
poetry in the book. Justification is
cleverly worded, but after six read
ings we fail to get the point, if there
is one! We suggest that its author
has Divinity and the Devil confused
if that is what he means.
The Magazine's Co-ed makes her
debut this issue, and we, as thorough
ly disinterested members of the male,
persuasion, greet her efforts with ap
plause. But to applaud too vigorous
ly would hurt our conscience: The
picture she attempts is drawn with
perhaps too many ideal results and
too few inevitable circumstances. We
presume it was the Editor who ran
the little descriptive line over the
title, that one thoughtless line was
sufficient to knock the few props the
story had awry. Miss Davenport
had worked out a perfectly good "O"
Henry" ending for her story, and
the story comes out in print with a
synopsis, so to speak, of its climax
run as a sub-title!
The Campus Reservoir, flood-gates
operated by W. J. Cocke, seemed to
overflow just a bit, Knight Style
eloped with Lady Fact and carried
her away to his Castle Rhetoric! We
do not doubt that the two Literary
Societies are powerful factors, yea,

Triangle Debate
Is A 1 Certainty
According to word reaching Chapel
Hill through "The Tulane Hullaba
loo," the proposed debate triangle be
tween Carolina, Sewanee, andd Tu
lane, . has gone through, and the
tnangle will be formed as per ex
pectations. This new. triangle came about as
a result of correspondence going on
between the debating councils of
Carolina and Tulane for over year.
Last year Carolina asked to debate
Tulane, but due to luianes icavy
schedule, it was found impossible to I
arrange any meeting. At the end of j
last season Tulane extended an in
vitation to Carolina to debate for this
year, suggesting a triangle with
Sewanee as a possible third meniVr,
Carolina readily assented, and
Sewanee was very glad to be included
in the triangle, it is said, as there
is already a contract signed between
Sewanee and Carolina for the priscnt
year, " ' ' I
RURAL NUMBER
SOCIAL JOURNAL
November Number of The Journal
of Social Forces Deals With
Rural Problems
The November number of The Jour
nal of Social Forces if off the press.
This number is devoted to country life
and contains several interesting articles
pertaining to rural problems.
The staff of editors and associate edi
tors is composed of some of the most
progressive men at the University! and
the corps of contributing editors, about
twenty in number, are drawn from many
states and professions.
Every North Carolinian should read
Gerald W. Johnson's article, "Issachar
is a Strong Ass," the theme of which is
the failure of the state to appreciate its
intellectual power to the extent of ade
quately encouraging it. He remarked
that we are inordinately proud of our
cotton mills, tobacco industries and wa
ter power, but that we give no atten
tion to our man power. Although Mr.
Johnson speaks highly of our material
wealth, he doesn't hesitate to lay bare
some of our institutions and to brutally
assert that North Carolina loses an
abundance of intellectual wealth every
year because she is unappreciative of
mental values.
Practically all the other stories deal
with rural life and standards.
Mr. Harry Elmer Banes and Mr.
Frank II. Hankins will conduct the book
reviews for the magazine. These men
are well qualified by experience to act in
this capacity.
The Journal says: "A satisfactory be
ginning has been made and it begins its
second volume with the satisfying feeling
that it has a very distinctive field with
cery indication of a long period of suc
cessful service."
Woodrow Wilson
Speaks By Radio
The announcement that ex-President,
Wilson would speak over the radio at
the Carolina Cafeteria on Saturday night
drew a large crowd. The speech was
.scheduled to start at eight-thirty but by
eight o'clock the crowd had begun to
assemble. During the speech there were
iihout seven hundred present and during
the evening there were about a thousand
in and out. Before the speech the foot
ball scores of the day were called out
and a few selections of music heard.
Unfortunately the main speech was
very indistinct due to interference and
bad conditions. Someone working on n
key was beard during the whole speech.
A special loud speaker was used, but
that did not succeed in making the
speech clear. Nick says that he is going
to get a new set soon; possibly next
week and that it will be much more pow
erful. Phi Prelims for Wright
Debate on November 20
The preliminary for the Mary D.
Wright Memorial debate, in order to

he held in the Phi hall on the night of
Tuesday, November 20, it has been an
nounced. Several Pbi men plan to try
out.
The Dl Society preliminary upholding
the affirmative, will probably be held
about a week later.
Prelims for S. C. Debate
WiU Be Tuesday Night
Tuesday night preliminaries will be
held in the Di Society Hall to select
Carolina's debating team for the forensic
contest scheduled to be held on the

CADETS OUTPLAY
TAR HEELS ON
THEJFFENSIVE
V. M. I. Wins Exciting Game From
The Fetzer Charges By
Superior Passing
CAROLINA DEFENSE STRONG
Hichmond, Va., Nov. 10. -V. M. I.
defeated Carolina on Mayo Island Park
this afternoon, 9-0. With the exception
of a few brilliant plays at th.' opening
of the game, the Tar Heels played a
purely defensive game, acknowledging
an inevitable defeat and seeking only to
prevent the piling up of an overwhelm
ing score.
The Flying Squadron had its hands
full to overcome the tenacious defense
put up by the Carolina eleven. Although
occasionally getting through the line or
sweeping around the ends, the Cadets'
were consistently held for downs and
force:! to punt. McDonald took no
chances and used bis toe to a good ad
vaiitagc in keeping the ball from get
ting close to bis own goal.
Carolina staged a bewildering open
ing attack and struck fear into the cadet
corps when she started what appeared
to be a march down the field. McDon
ald received the ball from kick-off and
returned it ten yards. Bonner clipped
off another ten yards around end. Mc
Donald bucked the line for four yard
gain. Then "ltabhit" Bonner rattled
around right end for twenty-two yards
and the Carolina side went wild in ex
pectation of a continuous march to the
goal line. The V. M. I. Cadets were
clearly amazed and alarmed.
But there died Carolina's hope for vic
tory. On an attempted end run the ball
was fumbled and the Cadets went wild
when the terrible Bydcr snatched up
the hall and started dow n the field. He
but little more than started, being down
ed after a four yard run, but on receiv
ing the ball he abruptly changed the
complexion of the game and Carolina
Hssumed thet-defensive for the ret of
the game.
"Windy" White kicked a field goal
from placement in the first quarter and
in the third quarter passed the ball over
the line to Capt. Carlton for a touch
down. The Plying Squadron was prac
tically unable to pierce the Carolina
line and found it necessary to score by
the overhead method.
Epstein, substituting for Morris dur
ing the greater part of the game, was
the outstanding and most aggressive
player on the Carolina side and deserves
all the praise thut is being heaped upon
him. Hampered on the offensive by
weak eyes, he found himself in a para
dise of defensive football and continual
ly stopped the V. M. I. backs In their
tracks by his terrific tackling. Pierce
Matthews, playing next to Epstein, re
peatedly broke through the Cadet line
and nailed bis man. Known only to the
stands as numbers seven and eleven the
two players became great favorites and
the neutral bleachers sounded like an

Senior Class
Holds Smoker
Senior Class Holds Its First Smo
ker of The Year In Caro
lina Cafeteria
On Thursday night, November 8thf
the Senior Class held their first
smoker of the year in the Carolina
Cafeteria. The meeting was opened
by President Gwynn who introduced
the first speaker on tha subject ot
cheering at the game and the seem
ing lack of spirit in the upper classes
and urged them to help in the cheer
ing to a greater extent.
A report on the new class rings
was given. Heretofore all the classes
have had a uniform class ting ex
cept for the class year. This year
the c!ass will have an individual
rir.n. It is thought that the ring will
be set with a ruby and will hr.ve a
new design also.
When the matter of he class g:ft
to the University was brought up, it
was decided that this year's class
would follow the precedent of giving
money which was to be appliuJ on the
fund to build an arts building. Un
til a sufficient amount can bo raised,
the money will be lent to telf-help
students at six per cent intreest.
Sandwiches and cocoa were eerved
during the evening and luso the usual
smokes.
