ONE VOTE DID IT ALL Complete Election of Officers for the Spring Term. Itv C. W. Bazemore "Sessions of the Phi Assembly shall not be opened to co-eds in the Universi ty." Such was the decision of that body Saturday night, at the close of a hotly contested verbal battle lasting for virt ually an hour, in which co-education was in turn eulogized, defamed, de fended, attacked, upheld and flayed from everv ancle by Phi members, whose discussion centered on University co eds in particular. ' , The nnrnW nun was fired by Chap- pell, who presented the bill for discus sion by the Assembly, reading as iollows: , "Resolved, that th- Phi Assembly go on record as favoring the sending of a formal invitation to the co-eds to attend sessions of the Society." Coats, who favored changing the word "formal" to read "informal" in the bill, was lol lowed by Speaker Parker, whose de fense of the measure was based on logi cal reasoning that the co-eds as stu dents have eaual rights with male stu dents and should be recognized as such by the Society. "Co-eds in the Phi hall would give spice and flavor, zip and Interest to the sessions," declared Chappell, in urging the adontion of the bill. "Traditions oi over a century must be held inviolate ... co-eds must not be allowed to ent.r th vuM-Hno nf the Phi Society hall," maintained Godwin, In a brief scathing attack on the measure. We need clrls In the Phi hall to make us better speakers; to train us to speak with self-assurance to mixed audiences, asserted Matthews, in pleading for the bill. "The University is already fast ne comintt too effeminate ... . We must above all. hold Intact the 'stag pen' ideals of the Phi Society, as a bulwark against the rapidly increasing effeminacy wnicn weakens college education," declared "age, in a fervent appeal for the de feat of the measure. v Under the fire of vigorous opposition by Hardee, Harrell, and Light, and ELECTION OF THE BETA KAPPA MEN With the great increase in. the size of the Student Body it has become increasingly difficult to get the names of those eligible at the end of the winter quarter for election to membership in Phi Beta Kappa. In order that none be overlooked Dr. T. J. Wilson, Jr., asks that those who think themselves probable or likely candidates to turn in their names to his office by March 17. WM. J. COCKE, Jb., President Phi Beta Kappa. LAST BUCCANEER IS. VERY CLEVER i Physical Culture Number , a Clever Satire. MISS B O B'S EDITORIALS Reviewer Attacks Paulsen's Laundry Advertisement. We didn't get to give the last Bucca neer its usual boost and roast. We were away visiting one of our country estates and while we were gone, somebody stole our thunder. It wasn't so hot anyway, we understand. The Physical Culture Number has just come to us, with the admonition from a very erudite Freshman that it is "as rotten as h 1." As soon as we devolved this information we knew it was good; but we find it even better; it's clever. The whole number is a parody or satire if you will on our typically American publication, The Physical Cul ture Magazine, said magazine being ed ited by a self-made and robust father of six or fourteen children and husband of one wife. This number of the Buc caneer has a wide field from which to draw material, and the Physical Culture Number is as good as anything the Buccaneer has yet turned out. The parody advertisements and testi monials are good; almost as funny as the originals. The doggeral verse, of which there is a good proportion, is all more or less clever, the "Ballad" and "P. C. Hits Heaven" are especially witty. The illustrations are all good comic stuff, some of them unusually well captioned. . t In the advertising section we notice that Dean Paulsen informs the world that the Laundry sews up rips and sews on buttons. Editor Felton overlooked a good bet when he failed to make this advertisement a center spread. Those two statements contain more genuine humor and irony than Mark Twain achieved in 1 his twenty volumes. We miss Felton's usual editorials. We have long suspected that he writes them only to be sure that there will be some thing funny in his magazine. If that is the case, then he didn't need them this time; his -contributors have been unusually generous with good material. The next number, we are told, is to be the Singular Number. We are afraid that the Buccaneer has hit a stride and will be consistently worthy from now-on; we have a sneaking hope, though, that the Singular Number won't be as good as the present one. It has been so long since we have had an opportunity to "razz" anything that we are getting peeved. The Crossroads suffers from an inferiority complex and he hates to have to praise anything. There is no way out of it this time, because the Buccaneer really does itself proud; but we are waiting vindictively in our attic lair to pounce on the next one. PLAYMAKER TRY-OUTS TOMORROW AFTERNOON New Plays Are Selected Frances Gray's Play to Be Used to Dedicate New Theatre. The authors' reading of new plays for production by the Carolina Piaymakers was held last Thursday night in the new Theatre Building, and open competitive rv-nnts for these ulays will be held in the same building at 4:30 on Thursday, March 12th.

Mr. Hsiung, after taking SHIRLEY GRAVES CALLED TO REST Professor of English Dies from Attack Pneumonia. A SCHOLAR. OF NOTE Graves Authority In Field of Eliza bethan Drama. News of the death of Professor Thorn ton Shirley Graves came as a distinct shock to the campus. Mr. Graves, pro fessor of English, died at his home about midnight Friday. He had suffered an attack of influenza which had later de veloped into pneumonia, but he had ral lied from the attack and was considered out of danger. He was seized with a heart attack and death resulted quickly. Dr. Graves was recognized as a scholar of note, especially in his particular field of Elizabethan drama. Although he was only 38, he was Tegarded as one of the most distinguished scholars in that field. After graduating from Texas Christian college tn 1906, he went to the Univer sity of Chicago, where he received the degree of Ph.B. In 1912. He was at the University of Washington for a year, before he joined the faculty at Trinity college. He interrupted his work there to serve as captain in the American Ex peditionary Forces in France. Shortly after his return he came to the University of North Carolina, In 1922 he married Miss Mary Margaret White, a graduate of Trinity. The funeral was held at the home at 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, by Dr. H- E. Spence, of Duke University, and Dr. W. D. Moss, pastor of the Chapel Hill Presbyterian church. The inter ment was in the Chapel Hill cemetery. The honorary pall-bearers were: Presi dent H. W. Chase, Dr. Edwin A. Green law, Dr. E. W. Knight, Dr. James F. Royster, Dr. E. V. Howell, Dr. William DeB. MacNider, Dr. Oliver Towles,,Dr. J. M. Booker, Mr. Norman Foerster, Dr. E. A. Abernethy, Mr. W. S. Lockhart, Mr. Harry F. Comer, and Mr. F. O. Bowman, C. A. Hibbard, A.' C Howell, W. F. Thrall, G. MacF. McKie, F. H. Koch and Vernon Kyser. The active pall-bearers, chosen from among the graduate students of Dr. Graves, were Frederick Hard, A. T.I Johnson, Lewis B. Wright, W. Dougald MacMillan, R. R. Potter, and R. P. Mc- Clamroch. Dr. Graves was considered one of the most outstanding members of the Eng lish department of the University. His unflagging zeal of spirit and his unusu ally fine mind were apparent in his work as a scholar, a research man and as a writer. He contributed articles to Amer ican and foreign periodicals. His death is a severe blow to the strength of the department. His loss is one that the state, being greatly in need of "sound scholars, could ill afford. UNIVERSITY QUINTET EXPERIENCES REMARKABLY Despite Loss of Monk McDonald and Carmichael Team Won Southern ChampionshipLost Only Five Games During Season Cobb High Scorer At Atlanta Great Play ing by Tar Heels Won "Crown From Tulane. By W. T. Peacock I By winning the S. I. C. tournament for the third time out of four entries, Carolina brought to a close another one of those remarkably successful seasons which she has enjoyed for the past few years. Five losses mar slightly an otherwise perfect season, but stacked up against the 20 victories of the Tar Heels over the strongest teams in the South these defeats appear negligible. Three of the losses were to strong northern teams which were not met by last season's un defeated quint, games being dropped to Harvard university, the Naval academy, and the Crescent Athletic club. To South Carolina and Washington and Lee fell the honor of being the only Southern teams to defeat the Cobbmen. Both the Harvard and South Carolina games were lost by only one point, and Washington and ,Lee was defeated once during the season. The" loss of two all-southern men in Cart Carmichael and "Monk" McDonald from last year's five made the outlook for this season, while not bad, some what dubious for another championship team. "Monk" McDonald, as coach, had three men around which to develop his team: Dodderer, center; Cobb, forward, and Dcvin, guard. In addition there were three letter men back in Sara McDonald, Johnny Poole, and Johnny Purser, as well as a number of promising men from last season's freshmen and varsity squads. PurfiT and McDonald filled in the posi tions'left open by graduation, and this five steadily developed in power as the season progressed. ' ' ..

SUCCESSFUL SEASON ham Elks and in these contests the 1925 Carolina quint . showed great strength both on defense and offense. The season officially opened with Guilford College and the Quakers were defeated easily by a 37 to 10 score. The Tar Heels guard' ed closely and it was not until the sec ond half that their opponents scored a field goal. Davidson's Wildcats could not stand before the fast work of the Cobbmen, and went down in defeat 44 to 13. Lynchburg threw a scare into the Carolinians and was leading at the half, but could not stand the pace in the sec ond period and lost 26 to 13. t Cobb did not play in this game because of illness, Wake Forest was a victim by the score of 22 to 18, and again there were mo ments when the Carolina supporters long ed for the presence of Cobb. Poole held down the forward position in these games and played good ball, but could not come up to Cobb's form. The second invasion of the Tar Heels was made against the newly christened Duke university in its new ' gymnasium, and was successful 25 to 21, although the absence of Captain Cobb was felt greatly. ': " The Tar Heels made a long northern tour next and after defeating the Terra pins of Maryland 21 to 16 dropped three games in a row, losing to Harvard 22-23, to the Crescent Athletic club 24-32, and to the Navy 20-39. They closed the trip with victories over V. M. I. and Wash' ington and Lee, however, and broke even on the trip. The Cadet score was 31-19, while the Generals lost 31 to 15. Cobb returned to the game in time for the Maryland contest and the play of the Tar Heels improved greatly. Coach McDonald could not make the trip be' (Continued on page two) OUTDOOR MEET ON MARCH 28TH Due to the great success of the in- ; tra-mural Indoor track meet held in , the Tin Can Monday night it has been requested by track enthusiasts that a campus-wide outdoor meet be ' held on March 28th. . With the coming of spring weath er increased interest has been dis played in track work and the pro . posed meet on the 28th will fall A week after the examination period and a week before inter-collegiate track and baseball gets under way ; and will effectively break the early quarter inactivity, ; DI MINSTREL TO HAVE HARP TEAM Six Mouth Harps Will Be Prominent Feature. RUNT AND GRADY STARS Jokes on Faculty Will Add to Fun for Students. The Di-Minstrel-Revue to be given April 1st and 2nd will be crammed full of the most original stunts seen here in some time. The directors say that the show will be consistent with the plan of all the better professional shows, but even though the skeleton will be the same, the idea of the director is to have the show be one surprise after another. The show will be replete with novelties and will have an entirely different line of specialties from the usual show. The keynote of the show will be "something different" and "something better." The first novelty in the first-part will be a six-man mouth harp team playing classical music. This will be a very unique and difficult specialty and some thing that has not been seen at Carolina. The harp team will play "The Overture from William Tell", "Grand March from Aida", i"What'll I Do", as well as "It Ain't Gonna Rain No More", "Turkey in the Straw", "Wreck of the 97', etc. Immediately after the "Harp Con cert", two end-men will enter dressed in "cross-word puzzle" costumes, sing ing a "cross-word puzzle" song, and then cracking "cross-word puzzle' 'jokes on the faculty. This will be a pleasing stunt The appearance of "Runt" Lowe, 'Grady" Pritchard, and "Ben" Hix as 'high-brown" ladies of color, accompan ied by their escorts, "Fizzle" Horton, "Abe" Harris, and "Piggy" Jarrell will be one of the most hilarious entrances ever witnessed here. They will make up the second set of end-men and will make a set that will be hard to beat. A well trained quartette, together with an eight man string band in the circle circle men, together with George Denny the best of professional style. The bal lads with the lighting effects that are be ing worked out for them will make them the most beautiful features of the first-part. The opening chorus and finale of this act will be of the snappiest music and the peppiest steps. There will be 20 end-men and sixteen circle men, togetherwith George Denny "himself" as interlocutor used in the first-part. There will be approximately 16 musical instruments used by the cir cle men and end men. Besides these in struments, "tambourines and bones' will "run wild." CLOSE SEASON WITH WIN OVER ASHEVILLE Tar Babies Defeat Asheville School for Boys 12-9 Game Featured by Close Guarding. In the final' game of the season the Tar Babies defeated the Asheville school for boys by score of 12 to 9 here last Saturday night.
