In an advertisement of Jack Lipman's
which appears in this issue of the Tab
Heei. it is annarent that Easter and
spring are near at hand and that Chapel
Hill's latest clothing firm is preparing
to meet a heavy demand for the latest
styles. The show windows, which are
conveniently close to the Pick, are always
full of the latest styles, and give the

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 baseball game that afternoon
there will be constructed for this First
Lady of the Hill and the gubernatorial
party, a gorgeously decorated box in the
center of the grandstand.
The queen, will be rtyally dined at the
Carolina Inn at 6 that afternoon. The
Lavender and Gold Room will be in spe
cial readiness for Her Highness and
party.
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. In pre
senting her name' he must turn in her
picture, her address, the school or col
lege she attended, and her age. She
must be a resident of North Carolina.
When nominations close, a committee of
six Chapel Hill ladles will select from
this bunch of beauty 20 girls whom they
consider the prettiest and best represen
tative of the "Ideal Carolina Girl."
These 20 pictures will be arranged in
a "Queens' Gallery" and prominently
displayed on the campus for a week, as
well as being syndicated In the state
newspapers. 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

JUNIOR CLASSTO
CLEAN UP CAMPUS
Will Have Charge of Annual
-'Clean Up Week.
FORDHAM WILL SPEAK
Dances and Convention Makes Clean
Campus Desirable.
In an effort to improve the appearance
if the campus, the junior class will launch
its annual clean-up campaign beginning
next week. Jeff B. '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. S. Bernard in chapel Tuesday morn
ing when he urged all freshmen to at
tend the Borglum lectures last night and
to bring a contribution with them.
Dr. Bernard deplored the treatment
accorded the Confederate veterans In the
South and added that a contribution
would be taken up at the lecture for the
old soldiers of X)range county. The mag
nificence of the memorial undertaken by
the famous sculptor was also, interesting
ly told, and the recent controversy in
Atlanta briefly touched upon by the pro
fessor. ' '..'''
An inter-fraternity bridge tournament

ercise its right to vote in the general
student body and class elections tomor

DEBATER'S DEFEAT
WEST VIRGINIANS
Tar Heels Get 2-1 Decision Over
Mountaineers.
HAD. STRONG OPPONENT
Jonas, .Chappell and Justus Composed
Carolina Team.
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.
