VOLUME XXXI V CHAPEL HILL, N. C, THURSDAY,.DECEMBER 10, 1925 NUMBER 8V LAW CLASS HAS ELABORATE FEED AT CAROLINA INN Hal Kemp's Orchestra and Car olina String Orchestra Fur nish Music. WINSTON IS TOASTMASTER President Chase, Archibald Henderson, and Dean Ferson Also Make Speeches. Tuesday night the second4year class of the law school held its annual banquet at the Carolina Inn. The program for the everting was unusually delightful, con sisting of a number of addresses by the State's foremost men, interspersed with varied musical selections. Dinner, served to the accompaniment of Hal Kemp's Orchestra, was very clev erly arranged. The menu consisted of dishes having names derived form law terms. Equity pickles, carriers dc celery, fried civil procedure potatoes, and evi dence de lettuce salad with thousand brief dressing were prominent features of the menu. ' , Tom White, president of the second year law class, extended a welcome to the members of the class, then intro duced M. L. Ferson, Dean of. the Law School. Dean Ferson welcomed the speakers of the evening in behalf of the Law School, and expressed his gratitude for the interest in the Law School shown by these men. Dean Ferson then pre sented the class to the speakers as one composed of earnest, industrious men, for whom a bright future is prophecicd. 'These men have been worked hard nd well trained. I am perfectly willing that you men get your impressions of the Law School from tiiis class," said Dean Ferson. Judge Winston, toastmaster of the evening, cited four stakes of law prac tice which he had observed during his experience in that profession. The first stage, existing during the time of his father, was an age of severe, persistent study of law principles. Court decisions were few, but they were strong and vig orous in regard tq rights of man. Fol lowing this stage came the time of the code system. Codes of law were made by men who were unsympathetic with the principles which Americans hold most dear. These codes were very exacting in the minor details of the law, and were professed to promote the ease of deciding law suits. However, the old generation received this system very unkindly. A system of cited authority followed the code system. Finally the practise of law has come down to the age of organiza tion. The Influences of the former ages have been outgrown and the principles of political organization are, paramount to day. ", ' v , Judge Winston gave to the students at the banquet several principles by which the highest type of men of the profession are guided. Having had his license to practise law for forty-two years, he real les from experience that no state needs dear thinking, high principled, and state loving attorneys more than North Caro lina. "A future of great service is open to the members of this class if you are men such as Dean Ferson has said you (Continutd on page four) PHILLIPS ADDRESSES RELIGIOUS WORKERS The University Student At Work In the Local Chruch," Is Subject of Interesting Discussion. The Religious Workers' Council held December meeting at 6:00 supper Tuesday evening in the Parish' House of Episcopal church. A paper was Presented by J. G. Phillips, assistant to "e Methodist pastor, on "The Univer "JT. Student at Work in the Local Church." Mr. Phillips' paper was of special in terest to the group and showed extensive tnught and work on the subject. He Pursued the following outline in taking nP the subject: the present situation) bsis for evolving & plan for student 'rk in the local church; method of gilding the plan; j present deficiencies n 8tudcnt religious work; meeting pres et deficiencies; visible results of mcct g the needs; organization and admin cation; students at work; and what we critic might say about the plan. .A summary of the plan suggested by ' Phillips to remedy the present situ Won follows. First, some one person " be Director of Student Religious Ctivity and will give complete devotion 'ne Buccess of the plan. Second, as elated with the Director, would be a . ent Cou"cil composed of four officers 'M'ed from the larger group by thera WT and of lenders of the different 'laments of activity.

FOARD NAMED CAPTAIN Lowe And Pritchard Are Selected to ; Coach All-State Pick. By W. P. Ragan During the intervening period be tween the end of the football season and the start of the basketball cam paign, the favorite pastime of sports scribes is to pick mythical teams. All State College and High School elevens have been chosen but as yet no AU Frcshmen team has been selected. Judging by observation and by close ly following the various yearling teams of the state, the Tar Heel has endeav ored to pick an All-Freshman team. Carolina without a doubt had the best first year team in the state as is evidenced by the fact that they defeat ed the State Wolf Cubs by an over whelming score while State made a very creditable showing against the other freshman teams of the. state. Wake Forest probably had the next best team and for this reason the Tar Babies and the Little Deacons get the most men on the mythical All-Freshman team. It is to be doubted whether there was another yearling line in the South that was as strong as that of the Tar Babies. From end to end it averaged around 190 pounds, which, is more than a great many varsity elevens can boast of. When on the defense this line was practically inpenetrable, while on the offensive it charged like seven rushing bulls. There was very little ground gained through the line from actual scrimmage and almost every touchdown that was registered against the Tar Babies came as the result of some freak play or by means of the aerial route. In view of the fact that the Carolina yearlings had such - a strong defense, four of her players are placed on the All-Freshman team. v The remainder of the line is com posed of Wake Forest players. Although their front line defense was lighter than that of the Tar Babies, it was one that charged furiously and tackled vicious ly. Without a doubt, it ranked as the second best freshman line in the State. No other first year line in the state could come neur those of Carolina and Wake Forest. ' . Could these Wake Forest and Caro lina men be placed together in the line (Continued on page four) PLAYWRIGHT TO SPEAK SATURDAY Carolina Alumnus Lectures Sat urday in Playmaker Theatre.

PATTEN WILL REMAIN HERE ANOTHER YEAR Methodist Conference Permits Him to Remain Another Year to Further " His Work Among Students. The announcement that Rev. Walter Patten will" remain another year to further his work among the Carolina students and to complete the present building program of the Methodists will find much favor with the students. In granting this extension of another year for the Methodist pastor to remain here the North Carolina Methodist Confer ence gracefully acquiesced to a warm local sentiment. Coming here for his second tenure of office having formerly been pastor here from 1913-19X7 in 1921, Rev. Patten has unceasingly striven to impress the State Methodist with the distressing need for a new modern church to house the local congregation and to properly care for the spiritual needs of the 780 Methodist students in the University, It was not until last year that the East ern and Western Methodist confer ences decided to appropriate the neces sary funds with which to construct the handsome colonial edifice now nearing completion. And at the recent confer ence it was -decided that no one would be as able to carry the work to a suc cessful finish as the man who - has striven so strenuously for the new church as Rev. Patten. Rev. Patten is now trying to show the Methodist Conferences the need for the establishment of an incorporated Wes ley Foundation here. He said "the glaring need here in the University is some kind tit religious training. The discussion groups In the dormitories the movement begun by the Y is ex cellent; but it is my sincere hope and belief that by next September there will be a professor here, not maintained by the University, but supported by the Wesleyan Foundation and the North Carolina conferences will give several religious courses of college calibre for interested students." Such in sWt is the purpose of the Wesleyan Foundation The first Wesleyan Foundation Pro fessorship was established in 1823 at the University of Illinois for the pur pose of giving adequute religious in struction at a non-denominational school. Since that time there have been about twenty-five of the Professor ships established, most of them being located at State Universities. For the past twelve months Mr. Patten has been working without cessation, plan ning, and trying to influence the two State conferences, and it seems as though his goal will be reached by the beginning of the 1927 college year. When Rev. Patten came to Chapel Hill in 1921, the local church could boast of a membership of only 185, there are now 280 members Dr. Bernards class of 100 University men has also grown tremendously during the) four year period. With the completion of tW hew church Mr. Patten hopes to hive everyone of the 780, the largest ? -)hiinational figures of any of the ,( (Continued on page four.) i J 'X. !5sJ- RANDOLPH CLUB WILL HOLD BIG CONVENTION Gathering of All Randolph County Students Will Take Place in Asheboro on December 23. A committee of Carolina students representing practically every town in Randolph county met Friday night to complete arrangements for what will be the first convention of Randolph Stu dents ever held. The main idea of this gathering, which will be held in the Court House at Asheboro on the last Wednesday before Christmas, is to get all the college stu dents of the county together in a body and, if possible, to affect a conference of Randolph students that will meet to gether at least once a year for general entertainment and to discuss matters of interest to the students and the coun ty. All the secretaries of the different Randolph county clubs in colleges that could be reached have been asked for an opinion on the matter, and all are heartily in favor of the plan. It has been impossible to reach some of the Randolph students, but every college student from Randolph is invited and expected to be present. Invitations will be mailed to all whose addresses can be learned, but as it will be impossible to mail out individual invitations to' every one, notices of the meeting are being sent to ' the county papers, and it is hoped that those who fail to re ceive written invitutions will read these notices and make it a point to attend the Convention. Each County Club Secretary is ex pected to be responsible for a short program for that college. Some one from each college will be expected to make a brief tajk about his or her col lege. In addition there will be refreshments furnished by the Randolph county club in the University." A program com mittee has been appointed from the members of this club, and it is hoped that there will not be a dull moment during the convention. The main purpose of the convention is to affect a closer suirit of friendship and co-operation among the students of the county. Just before the close of the gathering, R. P. Routh, Carolina student from Franklinville, will offer a proposal for the organization of all col lege students from Randolph' county. If this proposal meets with success, a com mittee will be appointed to arrange for a similar meeting next year. Eight o'clock , Wednesday evening, Dec. 23, has been selected as the time most suitable for the majority of the students. The Randolph county Court House is the largest in that section, so there Is no doubt of there being plenty of room. Several Asheboro ladies will be invited to act as chaperones. The members of the Randolph County club of the University, who are spon- soring the Convention do not expect anything elaborate this year, but if the gathering is enough of a success to warrant its continuance, it is hoped to have a meeting next year on a much larger scale. CHERNIAVSKY TRIO TO GIVE CONCERT In Memorial Hall Tomorrow Evening at 8:30. ALL FAMOUS MUSICIANS Three Brothers Have Achieved Great Reputation As Soloists. Music lovers i of the community and state will be treated to a concert of ex traordinary quality when the Cherniav sky trio appear here Friday evening at 8:30 in Memorial Hall, i The three brothers, Leo, Jan, and Mischel are internationally famous In their roles of violinist, pianist, andvio lincello respectively. Having been highly lauded by the greatest critics of all parts of the world, the three brothers are now making their fourth tour of this country. Everwhere the concerts of the trio have met with much praise. These musicians are considered masters in their individual fields. Nesbitt, that celebrated Epicurus of music, said of Mischel, when the artist was a mere boy: "In little Mischel Cherniavsky the world may one day recognize its greatest 'cellist." And many critics declare that prediction now fulfilled; nor does either of the highly praised musician's brothers rank lower in his particular class than does the 'cellist in his. Considered as a trio, the brothers have had a most eventful and brilliant ca reer. : , Members of a family of nine unusual ly gifted children, Jan, Leo, and Mischel received their initial lessons in music from " their father, Abraham Cherniav sky, a musical scholar and pre-eminent conductor of the Ukraine. When they made their first tour of Russia at a remarkably early age, the premature development of their fine faculties and the really extraordinary brilliance of their work made their name a household word. 1 They achieved success without parallel in the musical history of their country and then, encouraged by the highest praise of critics, decided .that there were more spheres to conquer. Since 1901 they have ranged every quarter of the globe and have been .ac knowledged in five continents as belong ing to the first rank of executive ar tists. In Germany, Austria, England, the United States, Canada (where they were naturalized as British subjects on the 1st of May, 1922), Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, China, Japan and South America, they huve enlisted a large following of cntlius (Oontinuid on page four) SOPER TO DELIVER SERMON SUNDAY Dean of School of Religion of Duke University. SUNDAY EVENING. AT 8:30 Dr. Soper Was Formerly Professor In Northwestern University. The second sermon of the year will be preached Sunday night at 7:30 "o' clock in Gerrard Hall by Dr. Edmund L. Soper, Dean of the School of Re ligion at Duke University. Dr. Soper is little known In North Carolina, having conic among other professors that Duke is obtaining from various parts of the United States in the expansion program that has been made possible by J. B. Duke's endow ment. He comes from Northwestern University where he was a member of the faculty. There he proved himself to be a preacher of exceptional ability, and the Duke University students have been greatly pleased with his sermons this fall. The University, through the University Sermon Committee, of which Dr. Toy is head, has Invited him to de liver the sermon here Sunday. The last University sermon was preached during the first week of school by Rev. Harry M. North, pas tor of the First Methodist church of Rocky Mount.

There ia no definite time for holding the Uni versity sermons but there are usually two each quarter. LAW SCHOOL FACULTY GETS GIFT FROM WEST COMPANY A gift donated to the law school by the West Publishing Company has just been received. The gift consists of a set of books for each member of the luw fsehool faculty. . An announcement of the gift was made some time ago but the books have just arrived. These books are valued at several thousand dollars and the law school considers itself very fortunate to be the recipient of this gift. STUDENT BALLOT ON NEW PLAN OF CLASS FINANCING Will Be Held Tomorrow Lead ing Campus Organizations Endorse Proposed Plan. STUDENTS URGED TO VOTE Present Method of Collecting and Handling Class Funds Inefficient Blanket Fee Proposed. The present system of class finance is not satisfactory, and is unfair to the best element of the student body. The opportunity to change! this condition will be given to, every student on Frk day, and it is the duty of every man to register his approval or disapproval of the plan. ' At the present time about thirty per cent or more of the student body does not pay any class dues, leaving the two thirds the duty of entire class support, the treasurers have always made hon est efforts to collect class dues, but huve met with small success. The si.e of the student body makes it practically impossible to see more than half of the students when a drive is put on, and it is often inconvenient to pay at that particular time. " As a result of these conditions, class presidents and treasurers are always more or less handicapped in working out the year's program, und class activities have suffered. - Contrary to recognized principles of good business many class treasurers have not kept satisfactory records of the funds intrusted and there is no audit ing of books and publication of same. , The change in treasurers or the failure to return of the preceding treasurer, often results in the loss of records and sometimes in a loss of funds. Under the proposed plan class dues t are to be paid to the University treas ; urer at the beginning of each quarter in the amounts of one, one, two, and four dollars respectively for the freshman sophomore, junior, and senior classes. The dues this year are tic be paid one half for each of the two remaining quar ters. The funds so obtained are to be placed in the hands of the University treasurer, and will be kept in a sepa rate account similar to that of the Pub--lications , Union. Expenditures will be made upon the written order of the proper class officials, and the books audited by the University auditor. A public statement will be issued in the Tar Heei, as to the financial condition of each class. Any funds remaining at the end of the year along with-the year's records will be kept over the sum mer for the incoming treasurer.. Under this plan the class officers will know definitely how much .they can spend for the various cluss activities, will huve records of preceding years, and will be in a position to map out a consistant program or the whole year. It . is expected that this will also re- suit in better attendance at cluss smok ers, in view of the fuct that it will not be necessary to make charges for them. The proposed plan will provide for a reduction of fees, a sensible method (Continued on page four) UPPER CLASSMEN WILL REGISTER NEXT WEEK Freshmen and Sophomores Will Regis-' ter After Holidays as Usual Pen alty for Delayed Registration.
