Student Body Called Together This
Morning Vote Practically Decides
Fate of Proposal.
A call has been issued to the Student
Body to attend Chapel this morning. As.
result of a motion made following yes
terday "s debate on the proposal to change
the method of electing the student coun
cil, a motion was made that the students.
decide in Cliapel to drop the matter with
out carrying It to a general vote next
Friday. It is claimed that the proposed
change is supported by so few men that
a general vote is uncalled for. The mo
tion, whiclt was made by J. M, Saun-t
ders, was opposed by Lee Kennett, one
of the men favoring the change. Inas
much as a vote this morning to carry the
- proposition to a general vote' Friday
would indicate, student support of the
measure, the vote this morning on wheth-t
er or not to drop the matter will prob
ably be Indicative of the final outcome.
The proposed change is being opposed
by such men as Jeff Fordham, Lawrence
Watt, "Icky" Calhoun, William J. Cocke,
and J. M. Saunders. It is being sup
ported by Taylor Bledsoe, Jimmie Wilr
iiams, Lee Kennett and Sidney Chappell,
The chapel period yesterday was pre
sided over by J. B. Fordham, president
of .-the student body, who opened the
' procedure by briefly stating the nature
of the question In an impartial way and
calling attention to the fact that the Tar
Heel made an error in recording the vote
of the Student Activities Group. This
body met informally to discuss the mat
ter several days ago and the result of
their vote was unfavorable to the motion,
not ' favorable as was incorrectly given
out. ' He then Introduced S. G. Chappell,
Speaker of the Phi Assembly, who had
chosen to publicly sponsor the plan.
Chappell gave a careful resume of the
subject for the benefit of those who were
not familiar with the details. He insist
ed that the exponents of the plan were
not. charging the class presidents with
inefficiency nor were they casting asper
sions on the present functioning of the
student council; their sole idea in pro
posing such a change was "to give the
presidents more opportunities to handle
their executive offices and .to find men
in the class who possibly had more ju
dicial ability. According to Mr.. Chap
pell, the opposition claims that only the
best men and most capable leaders are
elected as class presidents and that their
presence on the student council is all
that keeps the. respect of the students
for that governing body.; He refuted
this by saying that only three members
of the student council are class presi-

The greatest and most successful gath
ering -of alumni in the history of the
Gencrul Alumni asociation came to
close Saturday at noon when the final
session of the Alumni Conference and
Alumni School adjourned.
The' alumni gathered here, on the in
vitation of of the University, under the
direction of Secretary Dan Grant, to
study the Uiversity life, its needs, and
its scope under closer observation for
three-day- period. Much credit is due
Secretary Grant for the tireless time he
spent in making the gathering the success
that it was. , ...
'Sessions of . the conference on Friday
were mostly consumed in committee re
ports. Alumni Secretary Dan Grant re
ported to-the board , of directors that
was a f WOO deficit now hanging over the
association for the current university
year. It was agreed that the fifty-nfty
basis of the university support for the
association, as voted last week by the
board of trustees, would place the asso
ciation on a much sounder financial basis.
Great Alumni at Commencement
The largest ' gathering of alumni ever
ot ajttcnd a university " commencement
will come back for the reunions next June
according to the plans adopted Friday,
which voted to put into effect immedi
ately the Dix reunion schedule provid
ing for annual reunions for the same
generation instead of those scattered far
apart as at present. It was found by
the conference, that in order to get the
new system completely underway that
it would be necessary to bring back
members of three-fifths of the classes
for reunions at that time, these three
fifths comprise seven thousand living
alumni. Since the change of the com
mencebent dates, voted by the gathering,
to make the alumni exercises fall on a
period on the week-end it is expected
that this number will attend the re
unions this year. This means the finals
next June will fall on Friday, Saturday,
Sunday, and Monday, beginning June 4.
The alumni loyalty council reported
that 6,800 of the million dollars endow
ment insurance had been subscribed by
alumni to date and that $150,000 was
expected by June. Dr. Francis P. Vcc
able, ex-president of the University, ad
dressed the conference and was given a
great ovation. '.
The alumni were guests of the faculty
at Luncheon Friday, with President
Chase presiding, aifd that afternoon, the
alumni visited the faculty in their class
rooms' and laboratories, making a first
hand study of the University.
Friday evening the alumni were the
guests of the Order of the Grail, with a
larger number of faculty present, after
which the alumni in an informal session,

TECHMEN'S QUINT
TO MEET CAGERS
TIN CAN TONIGHT
Teams from Two State Institu
tions Clash First Time
This Season.
MAY SETTLE STATE TITLE
State Outfit Has Piled Up Impressive
Record This YearExpect
Hard Fight.
When the Tar Heels and Techmen
meet on the athlete field or courts the
fur is sure to fly, and tonight will be
ho exception. The collegiate basketball
championship of - North Carolina will
probably be the stake when the quin
tets representing the two state institu
tions of learning take the floor to fight
out the first of their two annual basket
ball engagements. The game will bring
together the fastest court stars in the
Old North State," and the game will
draw people from all parts of the mid
dle and eastern parts of the state.
The Tar Heels have won the state
crown for the indoor sport for so many
successive years that it has become
habit with them, and the trophy itself
has begun to assume Light Blue and
White tints, but Coach Gus Tebell, the'
Tech mentor, has developed a team of
five stars with capable subs who will
start tonight's game' intent on -alternat
ing the Light blue stripes on the(crown
with a few of brightest Bed.
Building the 1926 State quint around
the diminutive but flashy Captain Dick
ens, Tebell has developed a combination
that plays the floor with speed and shoots
for the baskets with a deadly eye that
accounts for .points when points are
needed. Gresham, Dickens' running mate
at forward, is playing his second year
on the State squad, though he was not
a regular last season. He was formerly
student at the "Hill," but he elected
to transfer to the West Raleigh institu
tion at Christmas of his freshman year
and became the star of that year's fresh
man quint for the Techmen. Brown is
handling the pivot assignment for Te
bell's outfit, but he is alternating with
Tom Spence,- another former Carolina
student. Spence starred in track for
the first yearleam that sent up such
varsty stars as , Gus McPherson and
Andy Bell. Spence has been a valuable
man to the State crew this year as an
offensive player. ,
In the guard positions the State men
tor has Jack McDowell, who furnished
the fireworks in the : Wolfpack back-
field during .the last football season,
McDowell plays a defensive game but
it was his long shot in the last minute
of play that accounted for the one-point
victory over Duke in the first game be
tween the two rival colleges. Watkins
holds the other defensive position 'and
plays a game that is up to the standard
set by the other men mentioned. Alto
gether State will present a well bal
anced quint when the first whistle sounds
and Captain Dodderer and the "Flying
Phantoms" will have their hands full for
the 40 minutes piny,

FEBRUARY MAGAZINE SURPASSES
EXPECTATIONS OF THE REVIEWER
Contains Four Items Which Are Eminently Worth Reading: This
Great Bunco Game, The Bright Street, Smithy, and
Swords Remaining Contents Are Con
sidered Rather Sorry Fillers.
Bp J. E. Hawkins
The February Issue of the Carolina
Magazine has appeared. - Which is no
reason for declaring a half-holiday but
reason enough, for the present reviewer
to tender congratulations to the present
worthy editor and wish him a hale and
hearty old age. For once upon a time
our editor swore a mightly oath that he
would publish an Issue of his magazine
every month, be there nothing more be
tween its covers than variegated recipes
for apple sauce and raspberry jam. And
our editor is an honorable man. ' So in
the fifth month of his regime the fifth of
his brain-children the Volstead-Com-stock-lnhlbltion
Number Is born unto
mankind, absolutely on time, absolutely
up to standard of content. , n
If one expects little one has no right
to feci cheated if one receives little. Is
not that right ! At any rate that was
our attitude In dipping Into this month's
ragout and that was our prayer for a
review which would not materially add
to the stewpot of collegiate vitriol and
spleen so popular at present witli our
campus' critical tasters. (We had In
mind the foregoing Issues of the 'Maga
zine and the present worthy editor's
repeated warnings to expect little.)
And as a result of this attitude you
have a review which congratulates the
editor' in its second sentence. Shocking,
isn't it? But we have no apologies to
offer Our congratulations derive not
from the punctual appearance of the
sheet but from the fact that we found
in it more than we expected.
To be quite specific, there are in the
current issue four items which we con
sider to have been eminently worth our
reading,' and several other bits which
afforded us a good deal of amusement
and vicarious satisfaction.' For the rest
there is the usual paucity of Ideas, gro
tesque grammar, Inadequacy of vocabu
lary, sentimentality, purple patches, un
certaintly of punctuation, and absence of
style. .
The first Hera in our list of the Four
Best Articles of the Month is This Great
Bunco Game by A. B. S. Vik. The sig
nature Is obviously a nom de guerre and
few readers will be mystified as to the
author. We think that he confidently
hopes to be booted out of school as a
result of it, but nothing will happen to
him poor lad because few of those for

It was a different team of wrestlers
that took the mat here Saturday night
against Concord Y. M. C.'A. from the
team that defeated State in the opening
encounter of the season a week previous,
The Tdr Heels outclassed the Concord
men in every weight and won the meet
by the overwhelming score of 33 to Oi
In every class except the 139 pound di
vision the Carolina men won their de
cision on falls, and In that class Clem
mons got the decision for Carolina on
time.
Henfner, Carolina's tiniest grappler,
took an easy fall out of his opponent
within a few minutes after the referee's
signal. Hcafner was never in any dan
ger and won without trouble. Motsing-
er, the 129" pound man, "wrestling in his
first meet of the new season, also took
the decision on a fall oyer Morgan, the
Y. M. C. A. man. Motsinger was the
outstanding man on the 192S team, but
lost in the. firelimiiuijies of the first
meet. This fall against Morgan was
won with all of his old speed and aggres
siveness.
Clemmons, in - the 139 pound division
for Carolina, drew the hardest man on
the Invading team and got a time de
cision over him by a,big margin. Clem

DI REJECTS B I L L PROMPTLY
Alumni Are Chief Interest Would Be
Ashamed for Them to Know m
Merger Proposed.
By decisive votes the Dialectic Senate
and the Philanthropic Assembly Satur
day night refused even to consider the
proposition of merging into, a single
body. The bill in the Di Senate was
tabled indefinitely shortly-after discus
sion was opened, with only three mem
bers objecting. The Phi indulged in a
lively two hour discussion before over
whelmingly turning the motion , down.
Largest Attendance
Both bodies were blessed with the larg
est attendance of the year. Approxi
mately fifty persons crowded into each
of the spacious halls. Senator Lee Ken
nett, chief of the Dialectic standpatters,
opened the discussion in that . historic
body with' "I do not believe there Is a
man here who really wants to see the
Dialectic Senate discontinued. Some
people on the campus and out in the
state have received the impression that
the Di can no lunger support itself. Let's
let them know that we have no idea of
disbanding. This bill should not be even
discussed but should be tabled indefinite
ly." After a few brief remarks ;by 'Sev
eral of the members, it was -moved ud
carried that the bill be rejected without
further dscussion. This was done over
the opposition of only three members.
The discussion in the Phi, home of
the bill, was lively.
For Sake of the Alumni
J. R. Owens opened the case in the
Phi with a plea against consolidation.
Much of his argument, like that of many
of the Di members, was based on the
claim that it would be treating the alum
ni of the University unfairly to. destroy
two, ancient organizaton so well beloved
by them. The present college genera
tion should revere the past and -respect
the traditional socletes that were once
so all-powerful.
Dantzler and Cooper were . the two
main supporters of the project. Cooper,
the originator of the plan, spoke in favor
of ids plan and later, at the request of
several members, Indulged, in an,expla-
nation of the scheme. """Dantiler, the first
to discuss the motion directly, stated
that since he became a member' two
years ago, there has been much done
through various committees to try to
stir up interest in the society. He
thought that the present motion prom
ised some remedy and that an oppor
