SPRING FOOTBALL Although a successor to Coacli Bill Tl SI Q Tint iir unnn onvmii football practice is underway. The coaching staff is looking forward to the fall of 1926 and endeavoring to find and develop material that will make the production of a cred itable team possible. From the coaches comes the cry for men. Practice is being held every afternoon and all men who have the potentiality of devel oping into players are wanted. At the beginning of the fall,' the team is faced with its season's schedule and. all attention must be devoted toward whipping it into a machine. There is little chance then for the new man without 'experience. But not so in the spring. Now the opportunity of gettnig a showing belongs to everybody. One of the great complaints against football is that it is limited to a few men, and that a man who comes to col lege without a prep school reputa tion hasn't a chance. Spring prac tice is an answer to that criticism. Freshmen ' Sophomores and Juniors who have any 4 football in them have an equal chance with the next man to make the varsity during the fall. A great showing is always ex pected of the University team be cause of the large number of stu dents here. But students wasting their time in their rooms are of no help to the coaching staff or team. The Davidson Wildcats every year play Carolina, practically to a stand still and people wonder why. From a student body of 600 there recent ly reported to Coach Younger 74 men or over ten percent. Ten per cent of the local student body here isn't: good fdr an inch gain unless . the, men report. Carolina always wonders why Davidson puts up such a hard game against her. .Evidently Davidson, in turn, wonders why Carolina does not defeat the Wildcats by the mar gin that one would expect from a school so much larger, as may be seen from the following ' extract taken from the Dav'ulsonlan of last week: "It has always been a surprise to us that Carolina has not had a bigger team than she has put in the field, with the large number of stu dents on their campus. Washington and Lee, with only 800 students, puts out a team that warrants more than attentiono. Carolina, with over 2000, should have team that rivet the at tention of the entire South at least." To the Editori ' While the recent agitation for a stu-, dent forum was going forward in the two literary societies no one seemed to think of the possibilities of any other kind of' forum than one connected with and fostered by present members of the societies. No one thought of a forum organized by the common student for the common student. Why can we not have a student forum that is foreign to and .absolutely removed from these two senile organizations? The talk about the recently defeated plan for a student forum started in the two societies.' It was intended to affect a sort of amalgamation of these bodies It would only have resulted in the death of two very weak organizations and would have offered no adequate substi tute. The forum would have resulted in a body made up of members of the present societies. Its purpose' would have been just- as literary as the Di or Phi. . Only, a few men join the Dialectic Senate 'or the Philanthrophic Assembly, because only a few men take interest in debate and literary procedure. They do not have the time to attend regular weekly meetings nor the money to pay weekly fines for absences. They would not have the time or inclination to at tend regular meetings of a literary forum, devoted to the art of acquiring a fine style ;of address. A short time ago a student proposed through the Open Forum of the Tar Heel that those dissatisfied members of the literary socities get out and form a student forum. .Evidently, he was trying, to wax Sarcastic.' What merit is there in his plan? It would only mean that we would have another literary so ciety., What we need is1 a forum for the common students. Membership could be compulsory or otherwise. The chief pur pose of the thing would not be to ac- qiire a fine style in speaking but to in quire, into and attempt to correct cer tain conditions that exist in this student body of ours. All matters of student in terest would be referred to this forum. Ejrery student would have a voice in managing campus affairs, instead of this authority being held exclusively by - a small political group of student officers. Until we have such a forum as this, there will be no true democracy on this campus; Jat Ew A hi. Editor of the Tar Heel, v. Sir: ' Whoever it was that proof-read my Play maker story in Saturday's Tar Heel must have been a little sleepy or a bit grotto at the time or else is afficted with jumping astigmatism, for the story as it appeared was a v, very different something than the story which left my typewriter. In the printed article "in ference" appeared as influence," muff ed" had become "muffled," "simulate" had become "stimulate," "High appear ed as "Higher," "as we all remember" was transformed into "as well as we remember," and in several other places the grammar was mangled entirely be yond parental recognition. This is simply to keep the records straight. r . J. E. Hawkins. Editors While we do not wish to usurp the Menckenesue and devastating privilege of the ,Oreen Room, our minds would encounter some difficulty in refraining from offering the following for your con sideration: '. ; . . In the last issue of the Carolina Maga zine we were faintly amused upon perus ing a story which presumably treated of a set of stock negro antics. Written and printed in, a southern environment and in a southern periodical, it was hoped at the outset that we would at least be able to comment favorably on the negro dialect 'But, to our chagrin, we were soon obliged to dismiss this last vain hope along with other charitable im pulses that we might have had concern ing this attempt. ;'..-: Assuming that the Carolina Magazine might come into the hands of the literati at the University of South Dakota, we are inclined to think that it might be favorably received there, provided that the dialect were not confused with mis guided effort at South Chicago slang. Upon taking a lenient view, we assume that the author of "A Dry Cleaner's Dirty Deeds" has not yet become accli mated to the regions where southern dic tion prevails, particularly that of the darker species, and in view of this we feel that this forced variety- of negro dialect should not be' imposed upon read ers of southern extraction. - It is hardly necessary to refer the gentleman to the current flies of The Saturday Evening Pott which are graced with the estimable work of Messrs. Co hen and Wiley, but we do suggest with all due respect that our local light pe ruse these columns more carefully next time. We rely upon the Green Room to make the necessary technical literary criticisms of this and other articles' in the late Issue of the Magazine, none of which criticisms should differ, greatly from those of last month. W, E. R. and R. S. A. THOMAS SPEAKS TO ENGINEERING SOCIETY The Willjam Cain Civil Engineering Society of the student chapter, A.- S. C. E., held its regular meeting on dast Thursday morning at chapel period in room number 319, Phillips hall. . The program, which consisted of talk' by O. G. "Squatty" Thomas on. "Installation of an Elevator," was one of the most inter esting that has been rendered this year. Using a miniature shaft, which he him self made, Mr. Thomas showed the ne cessity) of having the elevator shaft straight, explaining in this connection the many possibilities of it leaning most any way if care should not be taken, The elevator would , render much better service, and could be installed with more ease and less money if the shaft in which all elevators are installed ' should be framed and fitted correctly. He continued that an elevator is put together in the ordinary way in which the parts of a Ford are combined, and not built at the same time that it is installed. Also he explained how the motors, if . the building is over three stories high, are at the fop of the shaft instead of at the bottom, how the pro cess of wiring, cabling, and operating is worked. , ' . ; - .'-,.:: The different safety devices and a few of the underwriter's specification were touched upon by the senior from the engineering school All-in-all the . half hour programs given by the student members of the William Cain Society on each Thursday morning are very Inter esting as well as instructive. ' CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT IN U. N. C. At a recent meeting of the faculty of the engineering school, it was decided to add a department of chemical engi neering to the school.' There are now four 'departments: namely, oivil engi neering, electrical engineering, mechani cal engineering, and chemical engineer ing. ': .:-.(.; - '" The hew curriculum in chemical engi neering is designed to appeal to those students in chemistry who are intending to enter the industrial field, such as the manufactures of wood pulp and ferti lizer, the reduction of aluminum, and other industrial activities utilizing chem ical processes to a great extent. The courses in chemistry will be given in the new laboratories of industrial chemistry, and the allied engineering courses will be given in Phillips hall, which at pres ent houses the . engineering school. ' The students in Jhe Chemical Engineering Department will spend the summer months between the junior and senior years in co-operative work with some of the larger chemical industries. The new course goes into effect at the opening of the University in September, 1927, and it is expected to attract many stu dents on account of the growing devel opment of large chemical industries in this state. .

Schedules Will Be Arranged This Week By Committee Of Managers One hundred and eleven higli schools the greatest number of entrants in the history of the annual contest, have en tered the lists in the twelvth annual State High School basketball championship con test, it was stated yesterday by 'E. R. Rankin, Secretary of the State High Sehool Athletic Association. The list of the eastern high schools which are entering the contest are as follows: . , : , " Ahoskie, Atkinson, Aurora, Bethel Hill Bladenboro, Cary, Chapel Hill, Cole- rain, Dunn, Durham, ;, Ellerbe, Erwin, Farmville, Fayetteville, Four , Oaks, Franklinton, Fremont, Goldsboro, Green ville, Hope Mills, Jackson 'Springs, Ken ly, Kinston,. Lowe's Grove, Lumber Bridge, Lumberton, Magnolia, Maysville, Middleburg, Mount Olive, New Bern, Oriental, Oxford, Raleigh, Red Oak, Red Springs, Rich Square, Roanoke Rapids, Rockingham, Rose Hill, Smithfield, South River, Sten Stonewall, Tabor, Vanve- boro, Washington, Weldon, Wendell, Wil mington, Wilson, and Woodland. The total number of entrants from the east aggregate fifty-three which is five less than those entering from the west. In the west, the list of high school centenders for the champ ' honors runs thus: " ' ' Albemarle, Altamahaw-Ossipee, Ashe- boro, Asheville, Badin, Belmont, Besse mer, Bethany, Burlington, Candler, Char lotte, Chefryville, China Grove, Clare mont, Concord, Cooleemee, Concord, Crossmore, Dallas, Denton, Elkin, For- est City, Glen Alpjne, Greensboro, Gas tonia, Guilford College, Harmony, High Point Huntersville, Jamestown, Kings Mountain, Lattimore, Leaksville, Lexing ton, Liberty, Lincolton, Lowell, Madison, Marshville,' Mebane, Mocksville, North Wilkesboro, Pomona, Ramseur, Union- vilie, Wadesboro, Welcome.and . Went worth. ". The west leads the east by five entrants. However, the leadership in the total number of entrants has little to do with final outcome. Last year Durham put aside Guilford College from the west in a nip and tuck game, but snatched the championship of the state by a very close score. The Durham quint later went to Chicago to compete for national honors. After taking three games they dropped from the, race by a close defeat. But they received complimentary comments from the sports scribes of the big midwestern town. . . The schedule of the eastern champion ship elimination series was arranged last night at a conference of faculty man agers of each eastern high school com peting, which was held at Raleigh. To night, February 9, the committee of fac ulty managers of the various westernj high schools that are, in the race will meet in Greensboro to determine for that section. It expected that the opening game of the championship series will be played at once after the conferences of faculty managers have been held, and that the final game will be played in Chapel Hill early in March. As the basketball con test is a contest of the State High School Athletic Association, a trophy cup will be awarded, in accordance with custom, by the association to the high school whose team wins the state championship. Sec. Rankin declared that the coming championship series will be the most successful in the history of the State High School Athletic Assiciation. Last year there were one hundred and four contenders enterec) in the race "for the championship rag when the first game opened. This year one hundred and eleven, a gain of seven high schools, have entered the championship series, and it is probable that .several more will get in on the race before the arrange ments for the schedules of the two sec tions are completed. The usual strict rules of eligibility will be adherred to, and only those athletes that measure up in every respect to the regulations used by the state high school association will be eligible for the pHying in the cham pionship series. ' Since the annual high school basketball contest was inaugurated in 1915, the state title has been won by high schools as follows: 1915 Winston-Salem High "School. 1916 Durham High' JSchoOl. . 1917 Winston-Salem High School. 1918 Durham High School 1919 Winston-Sulem High School. 1920 Wilmington High School 1921 Chapel Hill High School 1922 Greensboro High School. 1923 Asheville High School. 1924 Reldsville High School. 1925 Durham High School. Miss Elliott, secretary of the school of commerce, is reported to be recover ing satisfactorily in Saint Luke's hos pital in Richmond, Va., where she was operated on last Monday for appendi citis; ' Miss Miriam Baggtt spent the week end at her home in Lillington. . CHEMISTRY DEPT. IS SIGNALLY HONORED American Chemical Society of Yale Be ' quests Data of Research Work ' Here For Important Treatise The Chemistry Department of the University of North , Carolina has re cently been accorded a signal honor in recognition, of the extensive research work being carried on in its laborator ies. The American Chemical Society, Yale University, - recently wrote the Chemistry Department here and asked for assistance in publishing a brochure entitled "Fifty Years' Progress in Or ganic Chemistry in America". This treatise is to be issued at the Sesqui Centennlal Anniversary of the American Chemical Society at Philadelphia in Sep tember, 1926. The "brochure is to be Commermorative of the existence of the society. In the preparation of this work, th American Chemical Society wishes to be well informed about the most notable and significant achievements of chemists in this'country in the field of science.; Many American chemists have perform ed conspicuous work in many branches of organic chemistry during the last few years.. The Society has asked the Chem istry Department here. for a report of all the outstanding achievements in or ganic chemistry accomplished by work ers in its laboratories during the last fifty years. : Upon speciul request of this Society, the research work emanat ing from the University of North Caro lina Chemistry Department is to be in corporated in this commemorative treat ise which the American Chemical So ciety is planning to publish at its Ses-qui-Ceniennial Anniversary, ; It may be here noted that the Chemis try Department of this University is the largest department of its kind In the South. It possesses, larger laboratories and more adequate facilities than any other college in the South. It is inter esting to know that for several years past some very outstanding work has been carried on in these large labora ties. In the department of organic chemistry Dr. Wheeler, head of this de partment, has been successfully conduct ing, research work since 1900. Outstand ing in research work in the preparation of many new kinds of dyes from paracy mene. This substance from which the dyes are made is obtained from spruce turpentine. The research work in : the field of dyes has been extensive and fruitful. In addition to this, there is being carried on other intricate research work. During the last few years, the Chem istry Department here has been doing very efficient research work and this work has been deemed worthy of being incorporated in the brochure published by the American Chemical Society. GEOLOGY CLUB HEARS . SMELL AND KESSLER Give Papers on "Deep Sea Deposits" . and "Geology of Southern Mexico Oil Fields." , Two well . prepared papers of much scientific interest were read at the meet ing of the Geology club last Thursday afternoon. These papers dealt with Im portant geological problems, and were well received by the members, much fa vorable discussion being heard, around the hall. H. R, Seiwell gave a paper on "Deep Sea Deposits," and T. L. Kess ler gave a review of Prof. W. A. -Ver Wiebe's "Geology of Southern Mexico Oil Fields." Mr. Seiwell gatfe a clear and concise explanation of the deposits that take place in deep ocean water, He explained how the changes of the red and blue muds of the ocean floor vary with the depth of the deposits. Mr, Seiwell point ed out that there is mixed with these muds a good deal of small particles which apparently : -are ' meteorites that have fallen into the sea This shows deposition in deep sea water to be very slow- as compared with deposits near land. Mr. Seiwell gave a rather long technical, .description of-these deep sea deposits, showing a great familiarity with the subject and giving much, evi dence of preparation in the description of -these deposits due to microscopic ocean life. ; ; ; , :v ' The paper which Mr. Kessler reviewed deals with the extreme . southern portion of Mexico and was prepared by Profes sor VerWiebe, of Michigan, who Is an eminent authority on the subject. The paper shows the different outcrops of struta, tiieir relation to oil domes!" and probability of oil fields as shown by the oil seeps. The structure shows evidence of having undergone faulting, and there is loss and repetition of strata along the western coast. Mr. Kessler's paper was a very comprehensive review of the orig inal paper and brought out many inter esting points. ' - i - .

Miss Elizabeth Calvert and Miss Au gusta Andrews spent the week-end at their homes in, Raleigh. The Tar Baby wrestlers made their debut to the sporting world Saturday night when they met the Reynolds High School team of Winston-Salem in the curtain raiser even to the varsity mat meet with V. P. I. The first year grnp plers made their start successful when they won the meet from' the high school lads by a score of 20 and 15 afler tak ing a handicap of ten points due to for feiting two of the matches. The Tar Babies did not have a 119 pound man, and the tiniest decision went to the visiting team on a forfeit, but Reece came back in the next weight and took a fall to knot the score. Whitworth and Wood, of Carolina, took the next two matches also on falls, but Plaster and Choplln won the next two matches for the Reynolds' High School. Plaster got a fall from Poyner, but Choplin won from Heavner, of the freshmen, by a for reit after the Carolina man had been stunned in a fall. The final score de pended on the final match and the Caro lina man came through with a fall. ' Summary by matches: 119 pounds': Chamberlain Winstoni Salem, won on a forfeit. 129 pound:' Reecei Carolina, won from Cope, Winston-Salem, on a fall. ' 139 pound: Whitworth, Carolina, won from Embler, Winston-Salem, on a fall. 149 pounds Wood, Carolina, won from Sprinkle, WInstori-Salem, on a fall. 162 pound: Plaster, Winston-Salem, won from Poyner, Carolina, on a fall. 175 pound: Chaplin, Winston-Salem, won from Heaver, Carolina, on a for feit. Unlimited: Burton, Carolina, won from Jlay, Winston-Sulem, on a fall. D. T. CARR DENTIST TANKERSLEY BLDG.
