QUEEN OF MAY TO JPM CAMPOS Carnival Beauty Will Be Roy ally Feted. CAROLINA CARNIVAL Nominations for Beauty Queen Now Being Made. On May 15 some lucky girl will reign supreme at Chapel Hill, escorted by a happy Carolina student, and royally sup ported by a train Of the nine prettiest girls in the state and their student es corts. . , In a stupendous pageant of color, a riot of glamor and glitter, that lucky girl will be crowned queen of Carolina's Carnival, and the dignity and import ance of the affair will be seen when the governor of the state walks out with his retinue to officiate at the beautiful coronation ceremony. On an enormous platform, smothered with flowers and bedecked with gaily colored banners, that state beauty will be crowned as the May queen, to be come ruler of the students' hearts and the Carolina Carnival.

At the big Carnival Ball at the "Fetzer Coliseum" the festivities will entirely re volve around this newly-crowned regal beauty, and throughout it all, some lucky Carolina ball will be her escort and know that he nominated her for this honor, and that his girl is the center of such attrac tion and the cynosure of such ovation. Any man in the student body may, not later than April 20th, put up the name ofjis sweetheart or girl friend.

After a week's display, a primary election will be held, the whole campus voting, to decide the 10 prettiest girls. A final election, a week later, will de cide the Queen of the Carnival, the nine remaining beauties to be her maids of honor. ' ' Is Novelist, Biographer, Editor, Pub lisher and Politician and Exerts Powerful Nation-Wide Influence. The Weil lectures this year, which are to be delivered by William Allen White on April 3, 4 and 5, will probably be the most significant series since the estab lishment of the foundation in 1914. Mr. White is preeminently fitted for the dis cussion of American citizenship, as he has been engaged in national politics for over 30 years and has a remarkably com prehensive conception of the' American people and their civic and social life. William Allen White is one of the most popular writers in the journalistic field today. He is a novelist, a biogra pher, an editor, a publisher, and a poli tician. His influence has been felt all over the' states in the national elections. He has stirred the nation with his fights for freedom of speech and against the Ku Klux Klan. He has written editorials that have started the people thinking and kept them thinking. Mr. White first attracted national at tention through an editorial, "What's the Matter With Kansas?" written August, 1896, in the midst of the McKinley-Bry-an campaign. It was reprinted in nearly every Republican newspaper In the Unit ed States, and Mark Hanna, chairman of the Republican National committee, said he used the editorial more widely than any other campaign document in the campaign. The editorial represents conservatism in its full and perfect flow er. Since this time he has maintained his position as a national factor and has . ( Continued on page four) " . JUNIOR CLASSTO CLEAN UP CAMPUS Will Have Charge of Annual -'Clean Up Week. FORDHAM WILL SPEAK Dances and Convention Makes Clean Campus Desirable.

'Fordham, president of the junior class and nominee for the presidency of the student body, will speak in chapel this week and fully ex plain the purpose of the movement. Next week is the last before the Easter holidays, and it is desired that the cam pus be in its best condition during the Easter dances which begin on Tuesday, April 14. Following the holidays, the national convention of Deans and Advis ee ers of Men gather here and visitors will come to the Hill from all parts of the country. :, The 'convention is scheduled at a time when the campus is at its height In beauty and the University especially desires that the' students co-operate in making the campus look as beautiful as possible. The chief aims of the clean-up week is to put an end to the throwing of paper and other trash from dormitory windows and to insist upon students following the walks instead of cutting across the grass. It is probable that a janitor's contest similar to the one used last year will be inaugurated again this spring. Lastear several prizes were offered to the jani tors keeping their dormitory in the most sanitary condition. The contest was re garded as a thorough success and it may be resorted to again this year in order to put the campus in the best possible condition. . , Bernard Speaks In Chapel Tuesday "Gutzon Borglum is one of the ten great sculptors in the world," stated Dr. W.

Carolina's negative debating team de feated West Virginia University by a two-to-one decision of the judges in the annual dual debate between the two in stitutions, held Monday night in Mor- gantown, W. Va., according to a telc graia received by M. M. Young, secretary-treasurer of the debate council. The query was, Resolved That Con gress by a two-thirds vote shall be em powered to override decisions of the Supreme court declaring Congressional acts unconstitutional. The Tar Heels were represented by Charles R. Jonas, Sidney G.' Chappell and Ernest L. Jus tus. West Virginia; defending the af firmative, was represented by Hugo F. Blumenburg, Robert T. Donley and Har ry I Snyder, Jr. Carolina debating adherents consider this victory to be a fitting climax to the Tar Heel record of victories so far this year. Carolina has won all four of its contest debates, having defeated South Carolina, William and Mary, Kentucky, and West Virginia. The West Virginia victory is considered especially brilliant, in as much as the Mountaineer debating team had but recently taken a tour to the Pacific coast, covering 20 states, and debating 10 Universities on this same question. They defended both sides of the query. (Continued on page four) First
