Big Track Carnival
Booked for March 11
A big track carnival will be held
at the indoor field, Saturday, March
11. All the dormitories and fraterni
ties will be represented in the con
tests, each dormitory and fraternity
having the privilege of entering
twenty-five men. This is the second
meet of its kind to be staged this
year; the first one was held Febru
ary 1 and was successful from ev
ery point of view. In this preliminary
meet all the dormitories were repre
sented; ninety men registered for the
events. Steele and Grimes tied for
the first place by gathering in twen-.
ty-six points each.
The Dormitory Association is re
sponsible for these track meets;
they are a regular part of the Intra,
mural program that the Association
has been fostering all the year. Much
intreest has been shown by the stu
dents, and it is believed that some
good track material will be discov
ered by this means. In the contests
each dormitory is represented by a
certain color and the men wear the
colors of their respective dormitor
ies. Ribbons are given to the men
who place in the races and field
events.
The events of the meet Saturday
night will be:

ANNUAL STUDENT
CONVENTION HERE
FRESHMEN COUNSELORS
HOLD MEETING TOGETHER
A meeting of the Freshmen Coun
selors was held Wednesday in Phillips
Building. About forty men were
present. The success and opportunity
for growth of the Counselor system
was discussed. All but two of the
men decided that they would continue
the work next year if they were call
ed upon. Two thirds of those present
had had boys come back to them for
advice on various subjects after their
first meeting. It was decided that
perhaps the greatest good the Coun
selors could do the freshmen assigned
to them would be to help them in the
arrangement of their first quarter's
registration. Following the system
of choosing as counselors for boys
some instructor who had them on one
of his classes, this help would not be
possible. The only solution offered
was the plan of offering a larger
number of professors to assist in
registration of freshmen so that
they could give them individual attention.

Bessemer High Wins
Non-Accredited Title
Bessemer High School defeated the
Unionville High School team for the
championship in the non-accredited
high schools league by a score of 13
to 11, Tuesday night. This is the
first year such a league has been in
existance and so Bessemer has the
lionor of being the first state champ
ions of this group.
The game was a nip and tuck affair
from the beginning with Bessemer
always in the lead or tied. The first
half ended 3-3. The second half open
ed with a better range on the basket
for both teams. Shields lead the
scoring for Bessemer with three
field goals while Hartsell lead the
Unionville team with three goals from
the floor and one foul. Bryant for
Bessemer and Benton for Unionville
played good games at guard.

Practically every college of import
ance in the South will be represent
ed in the second annual meeting of
the Southern Association of Colleges
which will be held here in April. The
association was organized in Atlan
ta in February 1923, and held its
first annual meeting at the Univer
sity of Tennessee in April of last
year. The presidents of the govern
ment of each college will represent
his institution. In some cases, other
members of the student governing
bodies will form a part of each del
egation. The purposes of the organization
are many. In a general sense it per
forms two functions: In the first
place it is to attempt to solve cam
pus problems and difficulties of stu
dent government, and secondly, to
act as an arbitrary body to smooth
over differences between colleges. At
its meetings the college publications,
fraternities, athletics, religious - life,
and student activities in addition to
friendly relations, athletic and other
wise, among colleges. It is truly a
Southern association, only Southern
colleges being represented.
The meeting will begin on Thurs
day, April 10, and will continue
through the 12th. Friday morning
will be given over entirely to a con
ference of all delegates On Frid;S$
afternoon, there will be some sort
of athletic contest for the represen
tatives. The delegates will meet to
gether again Friday night and Sat
urday morning. Saturday morning,
some form of amusement, probably
an athletic contest, will be given the

In picking the above teams they
were picked on what the men have
done. Hardaway, of Trinity, although
moved up to the 129 pound class, in
which he did not show up as in the
liehter weight, is by all odds the
logical man for the 119 pound selec
tion. He is fast, slippery and very
aggressive, not losing a match in two
years.
Cromartie, of Davidson, is like
wise aggressive and a hard man to
keep down on the mat. Ha is ex
perienced and uses his head in tight
places. He has never been thrown
in college wrestling. The 129 pound
class goes to him.

record in college has been eight falls

Zack Waters, of Carolina and Mays
of Trinity are pretty nearly evenly
matched, and it is only because Mays
broke his arm and was forced out of
the running that these two men are

CONTEST FOR COMIC
BUSINESS STAFF
Business Manager Chas.
W. Gold Jr. of the Carolina
Buccaneer announces a
meeting of all candidates for
(he comic's business staff,
both advertising and circu
lation departments, Monday
night at J:39 in Room No. 5
Steele Building.
In all the history of the present
generation of college students enthu
siam has not reached the heights of
hilarity as that caused by the victory
over Alabama Saturday night. As
one senior expressed it, the old men
were freshmen again in their burst'
ing gladness. Long before time for
the wire a crowd of students began
gathering around Gooch's, each sure
of the victory but tense with excite
ment while awaiting the final score.
When the news finally came several
hundred students started a stampede
for the Old Well straining their lungs
with old fashioned "War-Hoops."
At the well they were joined by
the few students who were not al
ready out, the band and Frondy and
Huggins took their natural places at
the head of the celebration. Yells
were given for each member of the
team, one for the whole team, one
for Alabama, and one for the Scrubs.
After singing "Hark the Sound" they
snake danced through the Quadrangle,
where more yells were given. Then
they headed for the President's Man
sion. Dr. Chase made a five minute talk
between yells and cheers, telling the
boys that no one was more proud
over the results of the game than
himself. It was one of the greatest
days in the history of athletics for
Carolina, he said, and hoped for many
another like it. After more yells the
crowd marched around the block and
again came out in front of President
Chase's home. " On to Durham"
someone shouted, "On to Durham,"
others took up the refrain. Huggins
then called for a vote as to whether
they should or should not go and for
all who would stay with the crowd.
Practically every hand was stretched
into the air.
Two hours and a half later with the
band leading, nearly three hundred
students went singing down the
streets of Durham keeping four
abreast and almost perfect step.
Some lucky ones had caught rides
to Durham but were awaiting at the
Cemetery. Of the whole number who
started hardly a man had dropped
out. With the meeting another huge
yell was sent up. It brought many
wooly heads, filled with apprehen
sion, out of the windows of the col
ored houses. But the newspaper re
porters and the cops had already been
warned. The reporters were on hand
but the cops were conspicious by their
absence. They had determined that
the students were to have a free
hand.
Cobb's home was visited first and
Mr. Cobb, the senior, was rudely
awakened by three hundred shrill
voices yelling in chorus. He put hip
head out a window to see what it
was all about and after getting ovei
his surprise at such a singular event,
told the boys how very glad he was
to s eethem. He had already heard
the good news and was as well pleas
ed as they. More yells were given;
then with a hearty good night the
boys in double file took the middle
of the street and marched towards
Senior Carmichael's home.
The elder Carmichael was very
easily awakened and soon made his
appearance on the porch dressed in
pajamas and a bath robe. A yell that
awaked the next door neighbors
greeted him. He was amused that
the fellows had walked twelve

WEST VIRGINIA
ACCEPTS QUERY
Debate With West Virginia Uni.

April 10
Mr. Fitch to Give
Musical Program
A vocal recital sung, with one ex
ception entirely in English will be
given by Mr. Theodore Fitch in Me
morial Hall, Sunday at 4:30.
In explaining the unusual feature
of a recital in English, Mr. Fitch ex
plained that he thought our language
very servicable for musical purposes
and that the American public has long
been hoodwinked in accepting the com-
partively lifeless substitute of song
and opera in some foreign language
"The trouble has been the trans
lation," he said as he pointed out
why the songs written into English
have not been well received. In the
past much poor verse has been writ
ten in translations of the words of
standard operas. "A good transla
tion," Mr. Fitch continued must have
three requisites; it must be accu
rate, poetic, and it must have rytbm
that is appropriate to the music,
The field of translation of lyrics and
libretoes is being much more serious
ly considered at present than it was
few years ago.
Some of the numbers in Mr. Fitch's
program are:
"Pleading" by Elgar.
"Her Rose" by Coombs.
"Nocturne" by Handol.
"Evening" by Curran.
.Besides these, Mr. f itch will sing
the famous "Lament" from Leonca
vallo's "Pagliacci." It is interesting
to note in reference to this number
that Mr. Fitch has sung in this
opera.
THE SUNDAY MUSICALS
ARE TO BE CONTINUED
Musical programs for the Sunday
concerts which it has been the cus
tom of the Music Department to pre
sent will be continued throughout
the spring quarter. Because of the
illness of one of the members of the
vocal quartet which was to sing last
Sunday, this program has been indef
initely postponed. The quartet con
sists of Mrs. J. Lawrence, Mrs. J.
A. Harrer, Mr. T. Fitch and Profes
sor P. J. Weaver. Mrs. A. S. Wheeler
will be at the piano,
The program of this ensemble is to
consist of "The Persian Garden," a
song cycle by Liza-Sehmann. The
words are taken from the "Rubaiyat"
of Omar Khayyam.
The orchestra, under the direction
of Mr. F. Hard, will give a concert
on March 30, while on May 4, there
will be a program given by five of
the most advanced students of the
music department.
The University of West Virginia
has accepted the terms of a debato
here as set down by the Carolina De
bating Council and plans for the de
bate have been made. The question
agreed upon is Resolved, That the
United States Should Adhere to this
Permanent Court of International
Justice on the Basis of the Conditions
Proposed by Secretary Hughes. Car
olina will have the negative side.
The West Virginia debate was ex
pected to be posponed until next
year due to some misunderstanding
as to the query and also to the date
of the debate. Since West Virginia
has accepted the query and sides it
will mean that there will be intercol
legiate debates in the spring quarter
with six 'different institutions. There
will be four contests, two being tri
angles and two dual debates.
The finals in the West Virginia de
bate are set for April 10, and the pre
liminary try-outs for March 27. The
mountain state institution could de
bate only two dates, either the 10th
or 11th of April, because her teams
are making a trip South about this
time on the same question.
Try-outs will be held shortly after
exams and men going out for debate
should begin to work right away.
There are to be three men on the
team and an alternate. Preliminary
speeches will be limited to five min
utes, so that the judges will not have
to take up so much time on the pre
liminary, as there will be a number
of men out for debate.
Last year West Virginia defeated" the
Tar Heel team sent to Morganton to
oppose them. This team was com
posed of C. A. Peeler, G. C. Hampton
and H. M. Saunders. The debato
this year will give Carolina a chance
to break even wilh the West Virginia
institution.
The Debating Council urges that a
large number of men go out for the
debate, not only that Carolina should
win this debate but that the Spring
Quarter's forensic program may be
carried through successfully. There
will be a fine chance for men to make
places on intercollegiate teams this
coming quarter because of the num
ber of contests booked.
The gold N. C. monogram is given
to all varsity intercollegiate speakers.
Membership is also entended to all
those making such contests by Tau
Kappa Alpha, national honorary for
ensic fraternity.
