FACE BETTER CHANGES Pleads for More Able and Better Paid Editors in South. "The newspapers of the South are not competently manned to meet the swift changes that have taken place during the last decade," asserted Robert La than, editor of the News and Courier, of Charleston, S. C, in an address here Thursday 1 morning before the State Newspaper Institute. "Ten years ago most of the questions which we had to handle were of long standing, and -we were all reasonably familiar with them," he declared. . "To day we do not even know the fact of the problems upon whose solution so much depends. "We are still groping our way in meet ing the innumerable new questions-which are arising before us in manners and morals and economics and taxation and development and government. How are we equipped to offer leadership in deal ing with these matters?' Are the news papers of the South competently manned for" therextraordinary work, ahead of them in these extraordinary times? ."All of us here present know that they are not, and here amongst our selves it may be well for our souls, well for our newspapers, well certainly for (Continued on page four) BAGBY SPEAKS TO SCIENTIFIC GROUP Discusses Aviation Accidents ' Relative to Physical "Conditions.

FETZER QUITS COACHING GAME Closes Successful Career on Coaching Staff of University. TURNS TO REAL ESTATE 285th MEETING OF CLUB Professor Janda Talks On "Reinforce ment of Concrete Pavements." Last Tuesday night at 7:30 the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society rendered the program, of its 285th meeting in Phillips Hall auditorium. After the routine busi ness two very interesting papers were delivered to an attentive audience. Dr. Bagby in his paper on "Psycho logical Effects of Low Oxygen Tension ith Relation to Aviators," stated that soon after our entrance into the recent war it was noticed that there were many accidents among our aviators because if the high altitudes at which they flew. Since it was known that there was. not enough oxygen in the air to sustain life at a very high altitude and that only a part of the aviators were equipped phy siologically to remain alive at a mod erate altitude, such as 22,000 feet, a test was devised by which it was possible to determine those individuals best fitted for high flying. Dr. Bagby explained how the perfectly arranged apparatus served to test the efficiency with which the individual manipulated the levers, which Were very like the "controls" of an aeroplane, at different altitudes. He continued that this was the only test by which American aviators could be classed for different altitudes. He concluded by soying that the best record was made by a man 82 years old, apparently frail, and of small lung capacity, who at tained the height of 34,000 feet. Dr. Bagby's younger brother attained the height of 31,000 feet. Many college ath letes mude a poor showing. : This was immediately followed by mill's naner on "Reinforce ment of Concrete Pavements." His pa-1 per in port follows: "C. A. Hogentogler was recently em ployed by the Highway Research Board, National Research. Council, to make a fact-finding survey on the value of rein forcement In concrete pavement. Rein forced concrete is plain concrete con taining steel rods or wires.

The Quakers always put up a good scrap in basketball no matter how had they may he beaten, and tlie Guilford court squad is rarely ever beat en by too large a score. Their football may not be so fast, hut the ghosts of tlie Frazier brothers gallop with the basketball team when it tukes the court and lends their fighting spirit and skill to the Quaker tossers. The Tar Heels licked the Guilford squad last year by a triple score, but they do not face them tonight with any feeling of overconfidence due to last year's victory. Captain" Dodderer's men will be playing their third frame on straight nights and with . their early season training that is a hard assign ment. Two victories over the Durham "Y" and a couple of wins in collegiate ranks is the record which the Tar Heels carry into tonight's battle. ' V Jack Cobb in this week's games has shown his old unerring eye for the bas ket that has made him high scorer of two successive Southern Tournaments. He was high scorer in each game and played the floor with the ease and speed that used to characterize the work of Cart Carmichael and "Monk" McDonald. Zunn Hackney, playing his first season as a regular, has been performing in sensational style and is proving a star. Captain Dodderer, Devin and Sides have been, holding up their end of the argu ment and will probably start in their regular positions tonight. FRIENDSHIP COUNCIL TO PUBLISH BOOKLET At the first meeting of the Freshman Friendship Council this quarter, if was pointed out that a record in attendance and work accomplished had been made in the fall quarter.

Fetzer, "Coach Bill," Assistant Director of Athletics at the University for the past several years. resigned his position Thursday, January 14, to enter the more lucrative . real estate business at Brevard, N. C. Coach Bill's five-year contract lacked two years' of expiration, but the officials of the Univearsity placed no obstacles to his desired resignation. v ,. Conch Bill and his brother, R. A Fetzer, Director of Athletics, have placed teams representing the Univer sity on an unusually high basis of sports manship and winning ability. After graduation from Davidson'College, where he played both football and baseball, Coach Bill played professional ball for a while. Later he returned to his alma mater and was head coach of major sports for several years. In 1921 Coacl Bill became football mentor at North Carolina State College and that year produced a championship team. In 1922 he became chief athletic director at .the University, but later, .having outside in terests, he became an -assistant to his brother. Under the successful tutelage of the Fetzer brothers the University has copped several state and southern cham pionship titles. For the last two years the University's basketball team has annexed the . Southern Championship title; in 1922 the institution's football team fought its way to the Southern championship; last year's track team was rated as the best south of the Ma. son-Dixon line. Coach Bill recently disposed of his boy's summer camp, near Brevard, at a profit of $83,000, and being advised of the coming Florida-like boom in the mountains of North Carolina, decided to embark on a business career in that see tion. So far a successor for Mr. Fetzer has not been, decided .upon. Scores of well recommended, promising candidates have offered their services to the officials of the University. Well known athletic figures from North, South, East and West are anxious to have a chance to prove their ability as coach here. The University has such a reputation for athletic prowess that numerous famous mentors are eager to increase with their methods the strength of the University teams. Every likely candidate for the assistant directorship, however, is being given serious consideration by the ad ministration board, and in a few days Coach Bill's successor will be announced. The committee charged with the se lection of a new coach is made up of General Albert Cox, Dr. diaries S Mangum, Graduate Manager of Ath letics Charles T. Woollen; A. W.. Hobbs and R.D., W. Connor of the faculty athletic committee, Robert A. Fetzer, and President H. W. Chase, ROBT. W. MADRY SPEAKS BEFORE NEWSPAPER INSTITUTE THURSDAY Reasons for Publishing Recent Suppression of University Dances Explained and Policy of Universiiy Toward Publish ing Good and Bad News Upheld Function of a University News Bureau Described. "Any educational institution that adopts a policy of non-censorship of news is certain to get unfavorable pub licity now and then, but, if the institu tion is making real progress, the favor able publicity will, in the long run, more than offset the unfavorable kind; de clared Robert W. Madry, director of the University News Bureau, address ing the State Newspaper Institute at the opening session here Thursday morning. "It is tills policy of frankness with the people of the state that has won public confidence for the University," Mr. Madry assertel. "The tax-paying public, as well as the press, has come to know that it will get all the news about Chapel Hill, whether that news be good or bad. ... "There is one point that I cannot too strongly emphasize. 'That Is that the University administration exercises no censorship over the news that goes out of Chapel Hill. During the three years that I have been In charge of corre spondence here I have not heard of any newspaper man accusing the University of suppressing news. I take no credit for this fact. It is simply a part of a very definite University policy. ', "I want to take this opportunity to say frankly that not since I huve been here has President Chose, or any other Uni versity official, ever attempted to get me to suppress a single item of news, and as you gentlemen of the press will know there have been stories sent out of Cha pel Hill recently that did not help the University. "When the Unsiversity dances were suspended the other day, for instance, the newspapers first learned of the fact through stories sent out by the Univer sity News Bureau. That story pro bably t- did the University " more ' harm than any story sent out during all of the year; it certainly did no good from a publicity standpoint. And yet the News Bureau gave it to all of the State dailies and to regular news associations. Tift result was ' that it went all over the country. "And yet there are correspondents In many educational Institutions through out the country trying to suppress news day in and day out. Of course most of their efforts are futile, for real news usually gets to the paper.-) by one method or other. And if it isn't sent out 'straight' at first it is quite frequently badly garbled in transmission. Usually one paper gets the story first. The others are 'scooped'. You know the re sult. Such a correspondent doesn't last long In the confidence of the State news editor." , -."The correspondent at one educational institution told toe the other day that the president told him not to send out (Continued on page four) PARTS ASSIGNED AT PLAYMAKER TRY-OUTS Players Selected Monday for Parts in Frank Craven's Comedy, 1 . 77m?
