SUMMER SCHOOL SESSION STARTS HERE JUNE 12TH First Term Begins Shortly Af t- , er Commencement and Ends July 21st. EXPECT LARGE NUMBER Pass New Regulations to Prevent Co eds Turning Summer School Into Summer Resort. Final arrangements for the 1925 se.S' sion of the University summer school have been practically completed and all indications seem to point to the largest attendance on record. Applications have been coming in to Dean Walker's office for several weeks from people over the state .who expect to attend the summer term.' The first term begins on Friday, June 12, and ends on July 21. Regis tration ior uie secono. term starts on July 22 and ends with the final exami nations on 'August 29. 1 Vance, Battle, Fettigrew and Smith dormitories are being reserved for the men students, Carr for married couples, and' the rest of the dormitories for the women. South will be closed for repairs and will not be used. By this arrange ment the men will all be placed on the west side of the campus and the women on the east; the three new buildings in the triangle being used to take care of the increased number of co.-eds that each summer brings. The courses offered will be about the same as usual with a few exceptions. The alternation of courses in the depart ments always causes a few new courses to be given each year, one being offered one summer and another the next. Sev eral instructors) from other institutions have been secured to supplement the regular summer faculty. One of the new regulations for next summer provides that no girl under 24 years of age will be permitted to room out in town unless she either lives in Chapel Hill or has relatives here. The Adviser of Women and the Dean of Students think that this may prevent some co-eds from using Chapel Hill as a summer resort, past experience having shown that residence off the campus usu ally has a marked influence on class work. Expenses for the six weeks will be the same as in the past, with the excep tion of room rent, which has been raised from $6.00 a term to $7.50, The regis tration fee is $15.00 for all students and $10.00 extra for students who are not teachers. BILL COUCH FOR AN N. C. SYSTEM OF WATERWAYS Advocates Formation of a State Transportation Commission for Waterways-Highways. AN N. C. CLUB PAPER Great Amount of Dredging At High Cost .Would Be Necessary to Open Channel Into Wilmington. The formation of a state transporta tion commission which would include and control waterways as well as highways, was advocated by William T. Couch .be fore the regular bi-weekly meeting of the North Carolina club Monday evening. He declared that such a commission is the first and most important step to be luken toward a solution of the state's transportation problems. "This body should have direction of all transporta tion facilities in the state, waterways as . well as roads, to develop each accord ing to the demands for it, and to con sider and develop projects for the fu ture," he, declared. The topic before the club for discussion was Ports and Terminals for North Carolina. The paper presented dealt with three clearly defined and inter-related phases of the subject, as follows: (1) What are the possibilities on the North Carolina coast for the development of inland wa terways, and for the development of a modern port for sea-going vessels? (2) Would it pay to give further develop ment to the port at Wilmington and our inland Waterways? (3) If so, how should this development be promoted? North Carolina's coast line has ample possibilities insofar as it has to do with "physical conformation" for the develop ment of inland waterways; but this does not mean that such a development would be a profitable one. Dr Collier Cobb was quoted by the speaker as being of the opinion that Wilmington is not the logical place for a modern port develop ment, for it would.be "practically im possible and entirely too costly." The Privately owned shipping . facilities at Wilmington are adequate for the present, ( Continued on page four) MUCH INTEREST BEING DISPLAYED IN MARIONETTES Applications for Reserved Seats Are Pouring Into Play makers' Office. SHOW HERE ON MARCH 7 Stage in Memorial Hall Being Raised Three Feet Higher for Benefit of Marionettes. Keen interest is being shown on the campus in the coming of Tony Sarg's Marionettes on March 7, Reservations for seats are piling into the Playmaker office and it . is expected that Memorial hall, which is being used to accommo date the large crowd expected, will be filled for both the matinee and evening performances. The big stage used in the recent Wigue and Masque production is being left up, and the Marionette show will be raised three feet above this plat form so that everybody may see it per fectly. Prices for the Marionettes are as low as possible, 25 cents for children and 75 cents for adults at the afternoon performance, and 50 cents and $1 for the evening show, the dollar seats being- reserved. :- . ' "Yol Ho! Ho! and a bottle of rum," which is taken, from the Pirate Song in ' Treasure Island," has become a byword as the pirates' , favorite refrain. It is remarkable that in all the stirring scenes of the world's greatest pirate story, not one word of profanity is used, which Would seem to argue that fighting pirates and walking the plank is less strenuous than catching classes. The Marionettes can do just about anything that real actors can do. For instance? one scene shows a card game; in another there is a spirited hornpipe danced by the Marionettes, v In "The Pied Piper," rats of all sizes scamper across the stage after the Piper. Alexander. Woolcott, of the New York Sun, writes: "It must be fun to be a puppeteer brooding over human comedy and, in Olympian' fashion, pulling the strings and playing Fate behind the scenes." There are more than 500 dif ferent strings which must be manipu lated during a performance, and these strings must be examined before every presentation. Not only do they wear out, but a knot may slip or the string may stretch. A broken string is quite fatal to the action planned, though audi- ( Continued on page four) CUBLETS TROUNCE TAR BABIES AGAIN Return Game With State Frosh Lost 25-1.

Concerts were given here by the famous quartet in the spring of 1921 and 1922 and will be well re membered by upper classmen- According to Paul John Weaver, head of the department oS music, the con cert given in 1922 was so splendid that a number of students who had no special knowledge of music came to him and tol dhim that they had enjoyed that par ticular concert more than any concept they had everieard. Mr. Weaver him self added that for perfection of work manship, and purely, beautiful music and weaving of parts, there is nothing to be compared with a string quartet. ; Mr. Letz was for several seasons con cert master of the Chicago Symphony BILL DEVIN" BILL IS DIRECTED AT CAKE-EATERS Would Banish Bell Bottom Breeches From In Front of Colleges for Women. news for so-called cake-eaters and good pews for peace loving citizens who live in the vicinity of female colleges in North Carolina, is embodied in a bill in troduced recently into the Senate of the General Assembly by Senator W. L. Sea well, of Lee, which will make the ancient custoin of "checking" female colleges a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than $50 or imprisonment of not more than SO days. The bill was introduced by Senator Seawell at the specific request of Presi dents C E. Brewer, of Meredith college, Raleigh; S. B.. Turrentine, of Greensboro College for Women, Greensboro; and J. I. Faust,. of North Carolina College for Women, Greensboro. It is understood that practically every president of a female college ! in North Carolina ap proves of the bill. t , : President Brewer statect last night that the purpose of the bill was to put an end to the spectacle that can be seen any fair Sunday afternoon in front of Mere dith college and the other female colleges in Raleigh. The condition, however, Is worse at Meredith than at any of the other local colleges on account of the crowded quarters at that college which make it necessary for the girls to obtain their daily exercise by strolls along ad jacent streets.

THREE PITCHERS BACK Ferebee, Coltrane and Poyner Are In Harness. With the help of the bright warm days of the past week, the Carolina pitchers and; catchers are fast getting into shape for the season which opens on Emerson field with Hampden-Sidney April 6th. The warm days are giving the hurlers chance to get their arms hardened up with little danger of soreness or in jury that cold weather often brings. Several strong contenders are out for both the pitching and receiving jobs and indications are that the Tar Heel nine will have a strong battery. 1 Three letter men are back from last year's pitching staff and doubtless will be called upon, to do the major portion of the hurling unless some of- the new contenders come through strong. These letter men are Bill. Ferrcbce, Homer Col trane, and Bill Poyner. : Ferrebee did not go so well last spring but the year before he was one of the mainstays and beat Virginia -and -Trinity wli.-Wtli were doped to lick the Tar Heels. Col trane and Poyner both won their letters last year and had a fair season. All three are right handers. ' Whisnant, Holshouser, and Ambrose are three men from last season's frosh team that, did good work and who should make a good bid for part time service. Whisnant and Holshouser are right handers but Ambrose twirls from the south side. Everett and Grady are two others who are competing. Four strong contenders- are out for catcher none of whom are letter men. These are Green, Farrell, Prescott, and Sharpe. Farrell is from last year's squud while Sharpe alternated with Cardin on Coach Sides' Tar Babies last ' spring. Prescott caught for the Tar Babies in 1923 but was out of -school last year. Captain "Rabbit" Bonner is a nifty catcher and held down this position last year while Morris' finger was broken. If Coach Bill can find some hard hitting outfielders Bonner may go behind the bat Instead of into the field. U.N.C. GRADUATE WINS HIGH HONOR H. S.

GOBBLERS OUTCLASSED' Hackney and Poole Are Substi tuted in Last Half and Do Good Work. TOURNAMENT'S OPENING GAME Alabama Loses to Maryland While Vir ginia Whips South Carolina Tu-; lane and Terrapins Strong. The Tar Heels won their first game of the tournamant with ease against V. P. I. Thursday night, trippling the score on the-Virginians,-, the final count being 42 to 13. - The outcome of the contest was never in doubt. Carolina leaped into the lead from the opening whittle and with Cobb leading the attack rolled up the score. Captain Cobb 1 was high scorer of the game, his individual score of 16 points being higher than that of-the opposing team... Rutherford Vas the leading scorer and the outstanding player for the Gobblers. He made good all the shots that came his way but the close guarding of the Tar Heels gave him little opportunity ' to score. Virginia defeated South Carolina in another of the opening games while Ala bama, favored by many to win the tour-, name nt, went down before the Maryland Old Liners by a 27. to 21 score. The Tar Heels made a, fine impression on the first night crowd and are being, picked by many dopesters to repeat their victory of last season. The Atlan ta Journal for Thursday carried a pic ture of Sam McDonald and of Watklns. State College forward, Morgan Blake, Atlanta's premier sport writer, says that , the tournament winner is a toss up be tween some ten teams but he seems to lean strongly towards Carolina, Mary land, and Tulanc as the three foremost contenders.

CAROLINA WAS OFF FORM And Virginians Were Evidently in Top-Hole Shape Found Basket From All Angles. The Generuls of Washington and Lee outpluyed and outscored the Tur Heels In the final game of the regular sched ule Wednesday afternoon in the Tin Can and tacked a 29-22 defeat upon them. The winners played a snappy brand of ball from the opening whistle to the last moment, and their pep and enthu siasm carried them a long way in their victory. It was, however, the ability to cage the ball from the center of the court that both Lake and Funk pos sessed that won for them. These two men took a shot from whatever part of the court they happened to receive the ball, and in the majority of cases scored a goal. , The Tar Heels were way off the form that has characterized their play durin; most of the season just passed. They played a listless, pepless sort : of game compared with the basketball that they demonstrated against Virginia and State recently. They couldn't locate the bas ket and failed to make good several shots of the so-called "crip" variety. Their guarding, while not so good as it has been at times, was still enough to keep the Generals from scoring from beneath the goal and most of the invaders' tal lies came from without the foul line. , Washington and Lee got the ball on the tip-off and after a few minutes Funk tossed it through. Carolina got the bull on the second tip-off and carried it down the field with snappy passing, but missed the try at the goal and the Generals brought and caged it for a four- -ge four) '
