Woollen, who looks into the future accurately, admits that the next game with Virginia here will present a tremendous problem in tak ine care of the crowd, and that if Carolina is to continue with her pre sent athletic program, the stadium is inevitable. The process of obtaining money and building the structure will be len;; and tedious, and action can not get under way any too soon if the situation is to be met four years from now. Mr. Graves, by way of evolving something definite as a curtain raiser, has suggested a plan that should appeal to the alumni. It calls for the issue of stock at 100 dollars a share, and each share hold er be given two tickets yearly for 25 years. With the centralization and renewed activity of the alumni asso ciation, this plan or a similar one. could materialize rapidly providing the proper stimulus and publicity is given it. It is of direct concern tc present students who will swell the ranks of the alumni in the coming years and they can serve as mes sengers of the project by spreading the word to the state alumni asso dations during the holidays.

What wild and hazy conceptions the world at large has of the college boy! Giants of finance and industry, educated by hard experience alone hold him as a scatter brain egotist who thinks backward and believes he can toss the universe about at will. Righteous people believe him given to vices and atheistic tendencies. Factory workers see him, as a fashion plate, spotted with mystic pins, and point to the arrow collar boy as a finished college product. The younger generation worships him as a hero, the final authority on drop-kicks, girls, and the art of spend ing money freely. To professors he h an amusing creature, dumb, erra tic, and often annoyinig, withal a necessary factor in their daily lives. After all, he is made of mortal stuff. He doesn't grow horns nor sprout win0s. He is overly suscep tible to the ups and down ot' lite, now poking his head through ihz clouds, now groVh'ng on the ground. When you come to know him he is perfectly harmless and congenial and is marked by at least one consistent trait ambition. Vol. XXXII Dec. 11, 1923 No. 23 CHRISTMAS SEALS Reports from the local committee of the Tuberculosis Christmas Seals state that students are not responding even though the investment requires only a small sum. The returns from the sales are used to fight disease and assist the poverty stricken, and for fifteen years has saved thousands of lives. Ten cents from each student will amount to over two hundred dol lars, enough to enable many unfortu nate people to weather the coming winter months. Every student "an and should give a dime to this worthy cause. YACKETY YACK BILLS This year the Yackety-Yack is en forcing the cafeteria system, pay before you eat. Previous years have shown that the highest and most res pected organizations on the campus gracefully dodge the Yackety Yack bills and are deaf to threats and piercings. Even law suits do not feaze them. The business managers would like to operate on the honor system, but since the honor system often misses fire in its finer parts, they have resorted to a more strin gent method. If fraternity men, juniors, seniors and miscellaneous organizations would be represented in the Annual, they must make arrangements for pictures and be ready to pay cold cash befoie February 15. Otherwise they will be left out, and will raise the cry of in justice. And whatever happens the Yackety Yack will go to press just the same. THE NEW STADIUM Mr. Louis Graves, Editor of the Chapel Hill Weekly, is the first off the mark in the cry for a stadium to accommodate the future crowds at Carolina football games. A glance at the past attendance figures reveals the startling fact that in four years the crowd at the Virginia-Carolina classic has doubled 'in number, 7,177 in 1919 and over 14,000 this fall. As suming that the figures increase in the game proportion, around 30,000 people will flood Chapel Hill for the annual tastle in 1927. It doesn't take a genius to note that a new sta- If it be true that a whistling girl or a crowing hen never comes to any good end, Dr. F. A. E. Crew has sent a pure bred buff orpington chicken to the bad. Dr. Crew, chief of the research department of Edinburgh University, has been experimenting on some 50 hens modest, industrious birds which seemed perfectly satisfied to remain hens and has come to the conclusion that he can change the sex of the domestic fowl. Indeed, Dr. Crew how significant the name here has changed the buff orpington mentioned into a lbjster. Without crowing over the accomp lishment, so he told the British asso ciation at is recent meeting in Liver pool. He said this bird in its life time has been both the mother and father of a family. After certain changes , which Dr. Crew produced ar tifically, this retiring hen ceased to lay and began to crow as boldly as ever did Chanticleer challenging an other cock. Presto! His comb and wattles in creased in size, his spurs grew longer and sharper; he was a good deal of a bully and tried to be cock of the walk. He was attracted by hens who kept to their place and attended to their matronly duties, but even these truly domestic fowl were flattered by hi-s attentions and strutted at his ap proach. He was mated with a vir ginal hen of his own breed; two chick ens, of which he was the proud father, were hatched. . Dr. Crew continues his study of the 50 hens now in the process of sex reversal hens who, one day, will wear the trousers, so to say. He hopes to learn the intricate mechan ism by which the reversal is brought about. He is encouraged by the fact that it is not the first timo that changes of sex have been accomplish ed artifically. In the course of his experiments, Steinach of Vienna did the reverse of Crew, changed papa rats into mamma rats, which took devoted care of their progeny until the rats were able to forage for them selves. Dr. Crew was careful not to sug gest to the scientists of the British association that his experiirert can be made on humans. But he seems confident that his experimertal work finally will put in the hands of med ical men such complete knowlgo of the mechanism of sex that its artifi cial determination will be possible. Then will end the anticipatory dis cussion ihat has been going on for several thousand years: "Shall we name the baby Paul or Pauline?" a gentleman-like way, characteristic of the knights of olden times . Bate man was to represent Carr and Ram sey would be a delegate from South Building. The fight was arranged and promoted by the fighters them selves. The Old Law Building was selected as the most desirable place because it was in a quiet location and had a larger seating capacity than any other vacant structure on the campus. They engaged seconds and a referee was secured. The tussle was scheduled to begin at eight-thirty Friday night and there wold be no charge for admission. Each man stak ed twenty-five dollars on Bateman's declaration that he would score two! knock-downs to every one of Ram-1 sey's. All arrangements completed, 1 tne young pugilists went in for two or three days training. Instead of the usual squared circle in vogue with professional pugilists, the Carolina Commission resorted to the round ring, a white chalk line, ir regular in size or shape, and devoid of the much needed ropes. The boxers were not weighed in but a passing glance would leave the im pression that Bateman would tip the scales at approximately one hundred and seventy-five pounds while Ram sey appeared to be about twenty pounds lighter. - Bateman and his second appeared at the ringside at eight-fifteen and anxiously awaited the arrival of the opponent. At eight-thirty, in com- ptM-ar --wwitlv 4U o And two "poo tators, the Battler was still waiting for the K. O. Kid and it looked as if the prize would be forfeited to Bateman. In the meantime, Ram sey was atop a table in his room in South demonstrating by shadow box ing the tactics he would employ in walloping his foe, the Wild Bull of the Campus. When the time for the scrap arrived, Ramsey was still go ing. He was reminded that the hour had come, and with an air of little or no concern he proceeded to don a .;air of while duck trousers, tennis shoes, and a gym shirt, an outfit not luite in keeping with that of Bate nan, who was prancing around at the .ingside with taped hands and all ioiied up in a uniform that would r.a-.e done justice to a world's cham pion. Surrounded by a throng of en thusiastic , admirers, the Wildcat stalked over to the proposed scene and stated that he was ready to be gin. He was cheered lustily as he took his corner. On the instant the crowd began pouring in, and it was only a few minutes before the whole grandstand and every bleacher seat was occupied. This monstrous con gregation, excited to white heat over the prospect of seeing a real live ex hibition, could hardly wait for the first gong to sound, and amused them selves by exchanging playful punches among themselves preliminaries to the main show. r ' Presently, Battlin' Flop Bateman, who had delayed his appearance for psychological reasons, ambled down from the attic of the Old Law Buil ding and took his corner with a self confident smile. The spectators rais- signaled for a renewal of the con flict, when he would jump in for more punishment that was undoubtedly his from start to finish. In the fourth stanza, Ramsey land ed a right swing on Bateman's mouth that brought forth blood. From then on Ramsey's target was the Wild Bull's mouth, and the latter bled pro fusely throughout the remainder of the contest. Ramsey's attack was well planned and beautifully executed, lie alternated between stomach punches and jabs to the chin, and the American Jhoe Shine Parlor Suit Pressed W. you W. 35c Hat Cleaning swung on Bateman as they were breaking from a clinch.
