the 11 o'clock classes being moved up
to 10:30 in order not to break into that
period. . t
Although the Legislature has not offi
cially announced its intention of attend
ing the ceremonies in a body, it is con
sidered quite likely that it will do. so.
Even if the whole body does not attend
. there will be quite' a number of legis
lators present for the dedication exer-
cises.
Besides the main speaker there will
be speeches from other well known men.
G. W. Cowper, president of the state
bar association, will deliver a speech.
Dean M. L. , Person of the law school
"will make an address. Josephus Dan-
uu wwiuur uitucau ui a repre
sentative appointed by him will also
make talks. The weather permitting,
the actual presentation and acceptance
of the new building will take place upon
tala mwA r WT .
the steps of Manning hall.
Immediately after the exercises the
board of trustees and the legislature
will be luncheon guests of the University
at the new Carolina Inn. An inspection
tour of the University buildings and
grounds is being planned for the group
after the luncheon.
Those in charge of arrangements are
especially anxious that the student body
M turn out . for the exercises in Memorial
hall and the presentation. In view of the
fact that the entire legislature will prob
ably be here in a body it is considered
important that student interest be ex
pressed in attendance upon the program.
A NEW SCIENTIFIC
SOCIETY ORGANIZED
Patterned Along Lines of the Elisha
Mitchell Scientific Society
Sei well Is President
"Another organization has been added
to the already large list of campus
groups. This organization is a junior
society of science patterned along the
lines of the Elisha Mitchell Scientific
society. The organizers, while realiz
ing that the Elisha Mitchell society fills
a great need in campus activities, were
aware that active participation in the
presentation of programs Is largely lim
ited to the faculty and advanced work
ers in the various branches of science,
while most . graduate students and ad
vanced undergraduates are eligible for
Associate membership only.
The -new society has been duly organ
ized alid its work has already begun. The
active membership' consists of gradu
ates and advanced undergraduates from
eight departments of science, these be
ing botany, . chemistry, geology, mathe
matics, medicine, physics psychology and
zoology. In order to insure a better
organization the members must have
completed eight courses of science, four
of which must be in the department of
their major science. All professors and
Instructors in the departments named, are
eligible for honorary membership, but
are' not permitted to take an active part
In the programs.
The society meets twice a month, at
which meetings two papers are presented
from two of the member departments.
These meetings are held the second and
fourth Fridays of each month in Davie
hall at 7 p. m. H. R. Seiwell is presi
dent of the society.
The first paper was presented by H. T.
'Thompson of the botany department on
"Myxomycetes." At their regular semi
monthly meeting "last night H. R. Seiwell
f the geology department presented a
paper on "Glaciation in the Antarctic"
Dr. H. V. Wilson talked to the club on
''The Attitude of the General Public To
ward Research." A number of faculty
members and members of the Elisha
'Mitchell society were present at the
meeting last night.

FROSH WILL MAKE
BIG VIRGINIA TRIP
To Take Six Game Northern
Tour. .
DONT PLAY CAVALIERS
Have Good Prospects for a Winning
Team.
The revised schedule for the freshman
basketball team has been given out by
Coach Shepherd for publication and
shows several changes from that pub
lished last week, notably that , Virginia
has been dropped altogether.
The Cavalier frosh were on the sche
dule for two games, at Charlottesville on
February 16 and in the Tin Can on the
27th of that same month. The Virgin
ians refused to play the game here and
for this reason were dropped from the
itinerary of the northern trip that the
Tar Babies will take. This cancels the
first engagement of the northern tour
but Coach Shepherd and Manager Smith
are expecting to arrange a game with
either Staunton or Fishburne Military
academies to replace it.
The opening bill with Durham high
school which was to be played on the
15th has also been canceled and this
team will not be met by the Tar Babies
this season. The February 3 date which
was open has been filled by the Spray
Y. M. C. A. team which comes to Chapel
Hill. An attempt is also being made to
schedule a game with Augusta Military
Academy for February 18. If this is
completed it will make a six-game tour
for the frosh on their trip to Virginia.
Beginning with Staunton or Fishburne
on the 16th of February they would play
one game a night for six days, meeting
Woodberry Forest, Augusta' Military
Academy, V. P. I., Washington and Lee,
and V. M. I. in the order named.
If these doubtful games are scheduled
it will give the frash a 17-ganie schedule
including the best freshman and prep
school teams in North Carolina and Vir
ginia. Of these games eight will be
played in the Tin Can and the others on
the road.
The first game will be played Tuesday
with the Wake Forest frosh at Wake
Forest. As yet no first team has been
picked and probably will not be selected
before 'Monday. Coach Shepherd has
several exceptionally tall men on the
squad and there is a possibility that a
bunch of six-footers will compose the
team.' One observer of practice said that
Newcombe, Vanstory and Crinkley could
keep the ball 12 feet off the floor and
out of reach of most of their oppon
ents. Besides these men others who are
prominent are Morris of Charlotte, Fer
sell of Woodberry, Delancy and Neal of
Reldsville, Skinner of Smithfleld, and
Makepeace of Sanford.
The schedule follows:
Jan. 20-Wake Forest there.
Jan. 21 Mars Hill here.
Jan. 28 Duke University tliere.
Jan. 31 Oak Ridge here.

DEBATORS PICKED
FOR TRIANGULAR
i
Two .New Men Are Selected At
Try-Out. Sy.' V;,:
LIVINGSTON ' AND JONAS
Debates With South Carolina and Wil
liam and Mary.
Debaters to represent Carolina in the
triangle debate with South Carolina and
William and Mary, which will probably
take place February 9, were selected ip
an open preliminary held Wednesday
night in the Philanthropic Assembly hall.
The query was,. Resolved That Congress
by a two-thirds vote should be empow
ered to override the judicial veto."
North Carolina's affiffirmative team,
which will debate William and Mary's
negative in Chapel Hill, Is composed of
Theodore B. Livingston, of Asheville,
and Ernest L. Justus, of Flat Rock.
Carolina's negative, which will debate
South Carolina's affirmative in Columbia,
is represented by Charles R. Jonas, of
Lincolnton, and Malcolm M, Young, of
Durham,
Justus and Young are letter men in
debating, while this will be the first in
tercollegiate experience for Livingston
and Jonas. Justus was a member of
the Carolina team which,With S. F.
Jones, unanimously defeated Johns Hop
kins last year, while Young has repre
sented Carolina against West Virginia,
Washington and Lee, and in the Oxford
Union debate with State , college.. Jonas
is a varsity track man, campus "leader"
of the Republican party, and a contribu
tor to the University publications. He
made a great impression on the student
body as a speaker last fall when he
introduced Governor Ralph Brewster,
of Maine, who -spoke here in behalf of
President Coolidge. Livingston has won
fame in the Carolina Playmakers, and
in his freshman year, with Young, was
a member of the Carolina freshman team
which unanimously won both ends of the
statewide freshman triangle debate.
Phi Smoker Will
Be Held Tonight
The first smoker of the year for the
Philanthropic society will be held tonight
in the Carolina Cafeteria at 9 o'clock.
This smoker was postponed just before
the holidays on account of exams and a
conflict in schedules.
The banquet committee in charge of
arrangements for the smoker-banquet is
preparing an excellent program for the
membership. There will be several speak
ers on the program who will add a good
bit to the occasion.
Try-Outs for Studio

Sixty Men Will Appear In Concert In Memorial Hall Monday
Night Jerome Swinford, New York Baritone, Is Added
Attraction Glee Club Has Received Much
' Praise This Year.
With a grand concert tonight at the
Carolina theater In Pinehurst, which
will wind up )he brilliant winter trip
of the -University glee club into eastern
North Carolina, the club will return to
the Hill and get itself in readiness for
the big concert in Memorial hall Monday

York City, a baritone of national repu
tation, who has sung many times in the
South and is well known in North Caro
lina, will appear on the program as the
guest artist.
The concert will be the first the club
has given on the Hill this year, and be
cause of the extreme success which the
club has met with this year in foreign
territory," it is creating a great deal of
interest among the students. The local
appearance of Mr. Swinford will mark
the first event of this nature ' in the
South. Up to this time no Southern
glee club has engaged a New York solo
ist as its leading feature. Mr. Swin
ford has been singing with the club this
week, and from each city where the club
has appeared has come enthusiastic trib
utes to Mr. Swinford and to the organi
zation as a whole.
Only 24 men made the eastern trip
this week, due to the great expense of
traveling, but the entire club of 60 men
will appear in the concert Monday night.
The men who made the eastern trip
are as follows: W. N. Avery, Jr., C. !L.
Beard, M. C Berry, J. S. Berwanger,

FIGHT EXPECTED
OVER UNIVERSITY
MONEY REQUEST
Over , Four Millions Asked by
This Institution for Build
ing and Maintenance.
BASED ON BOND BILL
Figures Show Cost of Woman's Build
ing and Tin Can As Being
Over $100,00 Each. . ,
With a legislature and a governor defi
nitely committed to a policy of retrench
ment insofar as the finances of the state
are concerned, every indication points to
a longhand hard-fought battle by the
University budget committee in its effort
to secure the appropriations requested
by the University for the next two years,
A tidy little sum of $4,472,495 is asked
by the University for the years 1925-26
and 1926-27. Of this amount $2,445,000
is to be devoted to buildings and per
manent improvements, while $2,027,495 is
to be used for maintenance. Already the
Chalpel Hill institution has thrown down
the gauge of- battle and sent out fair
warning that it ej nects to fight for every
penny of that ;um which it considers
due to it by the bond bill of 1921.
, In a bill passed during that year, the
legislature definitely committed Itself to
a program looking toward the betterment
and expansion of the educational and
charitable institii dons of this state. The
bill called for t e expenditure of $20,-
000,000 towards his end, based upon the
requests of the institution made during
that year. The legislature, however, de
cided not to issue such a huge amount
of bonds at one time, but to vote the
appropriations biennially. .
The University then drew up a six
year building program? based upon its
original request for $5,580,000 which had
been incorporated in the $20,000,000 bond
bill of 1921. In 1921 a grant of $1,490,-

Mr. Jerome Swinford is an American
baritone whose rise has been amazingly
brilliant and rapid. This reason his fes
tival, orchestra, oratorio, and concert
appearances are taking him into nearly
every section of the United States, and
from every city in wly'ch he appears
come newspaper reports of his unequivo
cal success, and popular demands for
his reappearance in those communities.
Mr. Swinford graduated from Prince
ton in 1915, where he was connected
with the famous Triangle club and the
Princeton Dramatic association. During
the war he enlisted in the navy, where
he organized mass ringing for sailors,
and formed and conducted the only offi
cial navy glee. club.
This spring Swinford has been en
gaged for two important NewYork ap
pearances. He made his first concert
appearance in New York four years ago
at the reception to the king and queen
of Belgium, where 11,000 people applaud
ed him. He was a beginner in the field,
then, but his warm, resonant voice which
he used with rare intelligence, coupled
with an intensely sensitive musical feel
ing and perfect diction, haswon audi
ences for him everywhere.
Following are a few of the tributes
he has received from big critics all over
the country! ,

minutes of play journeyed back over
the 12 miles of concrete between Chapel

defeat with them. '
The Tar Heels jumped into the lead
from the very start and swept the Elks
off their feet by a brilliant offensive
which the visitors were unable to stop.
Purser and McDonald led the scoring
attack, making eight field goals each.
Dodderer consistently outjumped New
ton at center and also played a good
floor game, as well as shooting five goals.
Captain Cobb, who was high scorer in
every game last year, was Closely guard
ed, the Elks evidently fearing him most
Once within range of the goal there
would be an Elk sticking to him. His
work on the floor was largely respon
sible for many of his teammates' scores.
Devin also played a good game. j
The outstanding feature of the game
was the scintillating speed of the Uni
versity players. They would take the
ball down the floor at a rate of speed
that completely dazzled the visitors.
Cocah McDonald's team appears to be
about as fast, if not faster, than the

WILDCATS MEET
COBB'S QUINTET ,
ON LOCAL FLOOR
Davidson Team Has Trained
With High Hopes of Win- . .
ning Tonight's Game.
HAVE DEFEATED DUKE
Have No Return Game With Carolina
And Will Fight Hard to Take
Away a Victory.
Carolina meets what at this early date
appears to be one of the strongest teams
in the state when Davidson comeshere
tonight for the second intercollegiate
contest of the year for Coach 'Monk's"
team.
Davidson is always calculated to give
the best of teaini no small amount of
trouble and this season she is said 'to
have a better quint than that of any of
the past few years. She has played two
games with Duke University, winning
both handily. The score of the final
game, played on the Wildcat court, was
39 to 22, a margin of 17 points, and it
takes a good team to run up that high ,
a score against the Durham outfit.
The Presbyteriuns are hoping to catch
the Tar Heels in a rather weakened con
dition tonight, as they well know that
the loss of two All-Southern men such
as "Cart" Cariniehael and "Monk', Mc
Donald is bound to be felt. Coming in
early season as tonight's contest does,
they hope to catch the local team in
early season form, as well as to take
them in camp before the new players
develop into new. "Monks" and "Carts."
But according to the Davidmnian, the
Wildcats' favorite college paper, the
Presbyterians willingly admit that Cap
tain Cobb and his team are potential
All-Southern champions again this year,
and praises the University for its for
mer teams. The paper added that we
had gotten into the habit of having our
own way on the court in this state dur
ing the past several years.
Carolina appears to have perhaps an
other wonder team, but the games with
the Durham Elks were hardly a test
compared with what may be expected
from Younger's Wildcats, who always
fight their hardest aguiust Carolina. The
prestige that the Tar Heels have estab
lished for themselves in the Soutli makes
a victory all tiie more desirable to the
Wildcats. If they win tonight, they will
be the first state crew to lick the local
team in many a game, and tonight rep
resents their only whack at tiie Blue and ,
White during the present season. With
out doubt tonight's affair will be one
of the hardest fought of any on tliis
year's schedule.
SCIENTISTS HOLD .
277TH GATHERING
Three Papers Read , by Uni
versity Men. ' . ,
MEET IN PHILIPS HALL
Cobb, George and Henderson Treat
Different Subjects.
Dr. Collier Cobb gave a brief note on
"A coinbustable clay found in Ontario
Canada," In which he discussed some re
cent experiments he had made with a t
peculiar clay with burning properties.
Tlje clay which was found by Dr. Cobb
himself, is a light yellow substance about
the density of pumice stone. It burns
readily although it does not possess the
vegetable qualities of any known form
of coal. Dr. Cobb stated that the sub
stance was found in very large beds in
some districts, and could easily be used
for commercial use if its value could be '
proven. Whether the clay will ever be
used for cheap fuel however is still prob
lematical. "Following Professor Cobb, a short
paper was presented by Dr. W. O.
George, of the Medical school, on "So
matic Chromosomes of the Npossum." In
this Dr. George presented some charts
and lantern .slides of the opossum"
chromosome showing that some authori
ties on the subject had been mistaken
regarding the cellular growth of the
opossum.
Dr. Archibald Henderson, in a paper
entitled "Relativity and Atomic Struc
ture," reviewed some of . the work of
Bohn and the modification of the Bohn
theory by Sicgbahn. As was brought out
in the subsequent discussion, the prob
able structure and complexity of certain
spectral lines necessitated the introduc
tion of an additionalftssuinption describ
ing the planes of the orbits of electrons.
Not only if rotating in spherical or allip
tical orbits, but that these orbits rotated
around one of their foci.
