TAR HEELS TO MEET STATE CINDERPATH TEAM HERE (Continued, from page one) in the longer sprint, he came up strong in the four-forty and finished second to Goodykoontz, of Davidson. Sides " has done ten flat in the century, and he will probably force Gus Mcl'herson to go under the traditional time of ten to get the top honors this afternoon. Another test wil prove interesting to the Carolina students in the State Meet, and that is "Red" Pritchett's first trial at the two mile grind this year. Pritchett ran the long race last year for the Tar Baby team and ran it well all the sea son, but Coach Fetzer has been using . him on the mile as Elliott's partner- this spring in the earliest meets. However, the Carolina mentor plans to use the lanky Greensboro youth in the longest race in the Southern Meet, and the race this afternoon will show what he can do. The field events too will bring forth some good dope. Jack McDowell, State's sophomore star, who set a new State Record of 6 feet 5-8 inches in the high jump last week and . who holds the World's" Interscholastic Record of C feet 1" inch, will again take a crack at the North Carolina mark. He also does around 22 feet in the broad jump. Other field men who will furnish feature per- j formance are Fordliam, Williams, and Newctfmb, Tar Heel weight star. An added attraction for the afternoon will be a dual meet between the Duke Freshies and the Tar Baby track aggre gation. The' events of the Varsity and Freshman couiDctition will be inter mixed, that is the two meets will come off in unison, so the loyal track follower who is lucky enough to be present will receive that rarest of all bargains a double header. In addition the appear ance of the local lads will be their first exhibition ag'ainst creditable competition on Emerson field. The Freshies have been in three meets so far this. year. In their first contest they conQuered the Charlotte High tracksters. In their next trial they bowed to the Duke Freshman at Durham, and in the Meet for Freshmen Cindermen of all the State Colleges they finished in third place. ' , ' Coach Dale Ransom has been working hard with his men in the desire to avenge the last defeat at the hands of the little Blue Devils. Carolina was conquered to the tune of 76-49 in this past meeting. GLEE CLUB MARES SUCCESSFUL TRIP (Continued from page one) Y OFFICERS .ARE IN MEETING HERE (Continued from page one).

GIRLS SUCCESSFULLY INVADE BUCCANEER Girl's Number of Campus Comic Maga zine Reveals a Wealth of Femi nine Wit and Talent. SOCIAL CALENDAR BUSY NEXT WEEK (Continued from page one) for the suces of the dance. The Order of the Grail has arranged their second dance of the Spring quarter for Saturday night , The time ! could not be more suitable, for with the South- (Bg the Rexnewer) The Girls' Number of the Carolina Buccaneer now floods the campus with its "Flaming Mamie" cover and its choice samples of feminine wit The co-eds have proved themselves at least equal to Jhe masculine "pirates" both. in origin ality of work and in the wise selection of excltanges from other college comics, Thp male element on the campus no longer has a. monopoly on the bandying of words or subtlety of expression; andj as for puns, why we think the girls have the advantage upon the boys ! Never have we seen such a deluge of puns. As the campus-comic might say "Yea, verily, there is a pun upon pun." The recent , campus . elections came in for their share of humor, but this humor was never personal or rancorous. For tunately the Buccaneer realizes that it can best retain its prestige and popu larity, by refraining from dealing in personalities. The personal hits in "The Boy Scouts In Memoriam" should not be objected to and indeed were skillfully handled. . . Most of the illustrations in this num ber seem to be the work of the regular staff, but perhaps, it would be too much to ask of the co-eds that they furnish the drawings as well as the wit At first we were prone to marvel at the abundance of catty" jokes in this particular issue and wondered whether that was because this was the girls' num ber. But after due consideration we de cided that such a conclusion would be most uncalled for. Perhaps those par ticular jokes were only fillers put in at the last moment by the boys. The Buccaneer should be commended for the admirable stand it , has token concerning the quality of its contribu tions. A college comic fills an important niche in campus life and receives the at tention of the entire student body. . As a privileged campus organ it should up hold the high standards of the college reflect nothing but credit upqn its alma mater. The Buccaneer is assuming its responsibility seriously and its editors are to be congratulated upon their production of a clean campus comic. The popularity of the Buccaneer proves that such popularity is not de pendent upon the publication of risque stories and questionable jokes. Long may the Buccaneer live and may it ol- AMERICAN MERCURY LAUDS UNIVERSITY "North Carolina" by Nell Battle Lewis, Is One of the Features of the Recent May Issue. An article in the May issue of, Ameri can Mercury?' rivaling "Hatrack" for lo cal Interest, appeared under the title of "North Carolina," by Nell Battle Lewis, of the Raleigh Newt and Observer. In thisarticle the author touched upon the many phases of development in the State and also pointed out the rapid progress made by educational institutions within its borders. In "reference to the University, Miss Iewis writes: "The center of intellectual activity in North Carolina at present is as no doubt it should be the State University. The University has profited largely by the recent increase in State expenditures for education, and its expansion, physi cally and intellectually, has been marked. It shows a. vigorous spirit of criticism in local affairs one of the surest and most encouraging signs that the old Southern defense-mechanism is breaking down. The leading exponent of this new spirit is Gerald W. Johnson, director of the School of Journalism and author of nu merous critical papers. It-is expressed too, in the magazine, Social force edited by Howard W. Odum, director of the School of Public Welfare. In the anti-evolution fight in the General As sembly of 1925, President H. W. Chase of the University, alone of the presi dents of the State's four higher educa tional institutions, appeared at the com mittee hearing in suave and civilized pro test against the bill. Naturally enough President Chase having been bom in Massachusetts the Fundament alists cried out upon him as 'a damned Yankee who's ruining our boys'." She also approved the stand of Presi dent William Lewis Poteat, of Wake Forest College, in his fight against the ultra-conservative faction in the Baptist church which seeks to have him removed from o&ct. In her description of the annual State Baptist Convention, she compared it with the Kentucky Derby as being "the liveliest sporting event in the commonwealth'. - (Continued from page one) stitutions concerned into closer relation ship through exchange of ideas in re gard to all vital problems affecting a modern university. In the Seminar Dr. Henderson spoke about the Theory of "Relativity and its Applications. These meetings were at tended by members of the faculties and advanced students in mathematics, phy sics, and astronomy. Dr. Henderson delivered a popular ad dress, "Science and the Modern World", to the general university assembled in Cabell Mall. He first explains the utili ty of science and how it has developed. He points out that when most of the theories of mathematics were put for ward, they were thought to be useless, but afterwards found important applica tions. In general the first part of bis lecture deals with the explanation of the remarkable modern theories that' have been advanced in science. In the second part of the lecture Dr. Henderson tells of his own dealings with science and bis opinions about the theo ries. . "Today," he said, "we are con fronted by three great problems, prob lems bequeathed to us by the scientific efflorescense and mechanistic quality of this new century. First, there is the great discrepancy to be bridged over be tween the super-intellects of the scien tists and the mental stagnation of the average mind. In the second place, the human being of today, through the in fluence of mechanistic technic hi an age of science, is becoming Robotized to an alarming extent. Last of all, science to day raises ghosts of disquiet which haunt our visions of the future".
