A big crowd of heelers reported
for the annual competitive Tar Heel
contest in Phillips Hall. There is
plenty of room for more candidates,
however. If you're not interested
yourself, send your room-mate along.
Headline in Tar Heel: "Dormitory
Club Fills Big Place." We take it
for granted they met in Memorial
hall.
A member of the University Lec
ture Committee is quoted as saying
that only three persons could draw a
crowd in Chapel Hill President Cool
idge, Mary Pickford, and Jack Demp
sey. Someone page Billy Sunday.
And if all three came at one time
we believe Mary and Jack would take
the crowd away from the President.
The gubernatorial candidates are
scheduled to come here soon. If only
Messrs. Bailey and McLean can ap
pear here on the same day and dis
play their best brand of pyrotechni
ques and political tricks, it will be a
splendid preliminary for our own lo
cal political scrap soon to get under
way.

MERCENARY SENIORS
Some enlightening statistics ar?
available from the questionaires
sent to the Senior class and tabulated
by the Bureau of Vocational Infor
mation. For instance, according to
the results the majority of the Sen
iors are interested primarily in mak
ing money immediately upon gradua
tion. They did not say so, but their
vocational selections give them away.
Out of the 93 Seniors who filled out
the questionaires, 16 gave teaching as
their first choice and 10 as their sec
ond. Teaching offers the greatest re
muneration to the college man during
the first few years after college, and
hence this profession heads the list.
Second in choice was banking, fol
lowed by finance, general business,
production, engineering, selling, ad
vertising, law, medicine, architect
ure, ministry, journalism, writing,
government service, and fine arts. It
will be noted that the poorest paid
professions are at the bottom of the
list journalism, writing, ministry,
and fine arts, and the fields tagged
with a dollar sign top the list bank
ing, finance, etc. Agriculture isnt
mentioned which is boost for State
College.
Now, if college men really become
the leading figure in the state, and
the above statistics give a fair esti
mate of the college boy ambition, we
might conclude that North Carolina
is going to zip along faster than ever
industrially and commercially, and
lag behind in the fine arts. The Ro
tary clubs will flourish, poetry socie
ties will be unknown, and good writ
ers and journalists will be scarcer
than honest men in the Senate. Teach
ers will teach long enough to earn a
little money and then they will set
themselves up in business.
The questionaires also brought out
that only 9 Seniors out of 70 have
secured employment for next year and
that 13 are negotiating, 10 have no
positions at all, and 38 desire ad
vice. We have but one comment on
this the vocational bureau has a
COURTESY TO HIGH SCHOOL
I VISITORS
Next week Chapel Hill will be in
vaded by an excited, eager crowd of
high school students representing
some seventy different schools scat
tered from Cherokee to Currituck in
the twelfth annual contests of the
High School Debating Union. The
regular routine of the University will
stop temporarily in deference to the
full program of the high school kids
who will monopolize the campus and
everything else they are able to.
The majority of these visitors will
receive their first contact with the
University and University students,
and consequently the impressions they
form of this institution will largely
decide their choice for college educa
tion later on. It is a far cry from a
little country school to a vast educa
tional institution of 2200 students; the
strangeness and novelty of University
life will be confusing and fascinating
to them, and their two days' exper
ience will remain in their minds for
a long time.
E. R. Rankin, Assistant Director of
the Extension Division, has asked the
co-operation of all students in show
ing the proper courtesy to the high
school visitors, as future University
students. Through the various Coun
ty clubs, personal favors in the way
of rooming accommodations, advice,
and helpful information can be given
them. These services, if given in a
generous way, will afford the visit
ors a pleasant week-end and enable
them to carry home a favorable im
pression of University hospitality.
Y CABINET
Finances and Blue Ridge occupied
the attention of the Y. M. C. A. cab
inet in a short meeting Monday
night. President Purser stressed the
need of putting the "Y" in a sound
financial position and paying all
debts before formally approaching the
foundation from which the "Y"
hopes to obtain the money for it's
wing of the Graham Memorial build
ing. There are still 350 pledges made
last fall not yet paid. These pledges
amount to $800, a sum which would
pay all the debts of the Y. M. C. A.
and leave a balance in the treasury.
The cabinet believed that many of
these pledges had remained unpaid
merely because of negligence or pro
crastination, and unanimously decided
to put on a personal campaign among
those who had neglected to pay the'r
pledges.
C. A. Holshouser reported for the
Blue Ridge committee that plans were
being made for taking another record-breaking
delegation to the Con
ference this June. The plans inelud
ad an open-air campfire meeting for
ill old delegates and prospective new
, ones.
TEACHING RANKS
AS FIRST CHOICE
Questionnaires of the Senior
Class Show Teaching Is First
Vocation Choice
Teaching, as a profession, ranks as
first choice among the members of
the present Carolina Senior class, ac
cording to statistics compiled by the
University Vocational Information
Bureau. Sixteen seniors selected
teaching as their favorite profession,
while ten ranked as second choice.
Banking and finance was the third
choice.
O'cher professions preferred, in the
order named were: general business,
production, engineering, selling and
advertising, law, medicine, architec
ture, ministery, journalism, writing,
government service, and fine arts.
Some interesting comparisons are
noted in the statistics. Only one Se
nior named journalism, for instance,
as his first choice, while that profes
sion received one vote each as second
and third choices. Only one student
placed writing as his first choice,
and none gave it second or third place.
The fine arts received only one vote,
and that was the second choice of the
student in question. Two placed the
ministry as their first choice, the only
votes secured by the preaching pro
fession. The statistics were compiled from
questionnaires submitted to 153 Se
niors, 93 replying. , Of those replying,
70 expect to begin work next year,
20 expect to continue in school, and
three were undecided whether they
should work or remain in school. Of
the 70 expecting to begin work, nine
have secured employment, 13 are ne
gotiating for positions, 10 have no po
sition in mind, but feel sure they can
locate one, while 38 desire advice to
openings.
ALUMNI MEETING
A special reunion program for Uni
versity Alumni living outside of the
state of North Carolina will be com
pleted this spring, according to Dan
iel L. Grant, the University's Alumni
Secretary. Plans for the holding of
this program have been underway
since last October 12, when the Spar
tanburg, S. C. alumni initiated the
project in a meeting which Secretary
Grant attended.

Arrangements for the program are
being made from the central offices
at Chapel Hill, in conjunction with the
Spartanburg local association. A
committee of Spartanburg Alumni
has been working for some time plan
ning for the event. This committee
is composed of R. P. Pell, President
of Converse College; J. W. Alex
ander, a cotton broker of Spartan
burg; and E. S. Lindsey, of the Fa
culty of Converse College.
Secretary Grant is planning a trip
north in order to work up interest
among Alumni in Virginia, Wash
ington, Maryland New York, and
Pennsylvania. On April ninth he
will meet with the Norfolk, Va. Alum
ni; on April 12 with the Richmond
Alumni; April 13, with the Wash
ington Alumni; April 14, with the
New York Alumni, at New York
City; April 15, with the Philadelphia
Alumni; and on April 16, with the
Baltimore Alumni.
The meetings in Richmond and
Baltimore will be organization meet
ings of the University Alumni there,
they having, at the present time, no
local organizations.
All of these meetings will be held
largely to formulate plans for the
approaching reunion.
Secretary Grant has secured the
active co-operation of Alumni in all
the 48 states, who are pushing plans
for the reunion.
CLEMSON MEET
Coach Bob's track team will per
form for the first time on Emerson
Field this season when, on Saturday
April 5, the University boys meet
Clemson college in a dual contest. It
is still to early in the season and
the "dope" on the two .teams is too
scarce to hazard any predictions.
However, it is quite certain that
Clemson is producing a very good
team this season, and some folks
are predicting that Carolina must be
at top form iu order to win the
laurels.
Clemson did not enter the Asheville
meet which was held March 1. Car
olina showed up well in this meet
which was participated in by Fur
man, South Carolina, and Wake For
est. Out of the eight events the Uni
versity representatives won six first
places, five seconds and three thirds.
Carolina showed especially well yi
the track events, only one contest,
the 440-yd. dash, being lost in this
department. Not much practice had
been done in the field events prior to
the Asheville meet, and this probably
at home!
Pres. i Muh,
STANDARD BUILDING
accounts for the comparitively poor
showing made, Carolina's nearest
competition in this meet, Furman,
gathered only 16 points; Carolina
won 48.
But Carolina's showing in the Ashe
ville meet should not be provocative
of too much optimism, for although
she ran 32 points ahead of her near
est rival, no records were broken or
were in danger of being broken. Car
olina showed up very well on account
of her opponents' inferiority rather
than because of her own superiority.
Of course, conditions in the hippo
drome where this meet was held
were not as ideal as outdoor track
would have been, together with the
fact that it was very early in the sea
son, helps materially to explain why
no better time was made in the
events.
The team promises to be in very
This cap stays put!
Other caps get lost but the new Williams
Hinge-Cap stays where you want it. Truly,
that's an improvement.
Like the cap, the shaving crearr. in the
Williams tube is a big improvement, too. For
Williams lather is heavier and faster-working.
It holds the water in, so that your beard is
softened sooner. And the lather lubricates. The
razor fairly glides over your skin! Because of a
soothing ingredient in Williams you can shave
daily yet always have a smooth and well-cared-for
face. Williams is pure, natural-white cream.
Absolutely without coloring matter. Buy it, try
it with the new Hinge-Cap!
