NUMBER 14
SI REFUSES TO
CENSURE ACTION
OF THE COUNCIL
Uill Denouncing Recent Methods
of Student Council, Defeat
V ed by Vote of 23-17.
TIOLENT ARGUMENTS USED
In a session that was marked
ynih much stormy argumenta
tion, the Di Senate refused to
:pass, by a vote of 23 to 17, a
special bill denouncing the action
of the student council in sus
pending R. K. Fowler and Julian
Starr." .4.::"'''.:,
After the first formalities of
-the meeting were over, Senator
Julian Busby, of Salisbury, pres
ented a special resolution read
ing: Resolved: that the Dialec
tic Senate go on record as de
nouncing the action of the Stu
dent Council in suspending R. K.
IFowler and Julian Starr. It was
then moved and seconded thatthe
customary order of business be
'dropped and that the special res
olution take precedence before
-the bills on the calendar. The
Tnotion was passed, and the Sen
ate passed on to the considera
tion of the resolution.
The proponents of the resolu
tion on the floor of the Senate
were Senators Kartus, Busby,
"Mogulescu, and Fordham. The
.action of the council was attack
ed from several angles its as
suming power over a matter be
yond its jurisdiction, the ridicul
ous attempt to assume the "role
of literary critic, and the abuse
of the" rights of the freedom of
the press. Those speaking a
3rainst the resolution included
Senators Motsinger and Kennett.
Besides" attacking the points
JUCUUVUCU JLTJT VUG yiVWIIVUWJ,
they suggested that the prestige
of the council would be hurt if
their action was reversed. In
'turn, the pettiness of this point
"was shown in that much more
lhan the prestige of a group of
political figureheads was, involv
ed, since the personal reputa
tion of two young men was being
"branded throughout the state as
Tjeing "obscene and indecent."
The resolution, however, was de
feated by a vote of 23 to 17?
HIGH SCHOOLS ENROLL FOR
FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
The high schools throughout
the state are now enrolling for
the thirteenth annual football
championship, which will be held
this fall under the auspices of
the University Extension Divi
sion. . The entry blanks must be
sent in to Chapel Hill by October
23. . ' .' ;
Schedules for ; the games of
the Eastern and the Western
series will . be arranged at con
ferences of the faculty manag
ers early next week. The rules
concerning the eligibility of play
ers representing the high schools
are very strict and will be ad
hered to carefully.- The length
of quarters in all high school
cames is to be limited to 12 min
utes. A change in the rules of the
series has been made concerning
the case of a tie. If two teams
play to a tie they shall draw to
see which shall continue in the
series. If the team winning the
xlraw shall proceed through the
series and shall win the State
championship, the team losing
the draw shall be entitled to
challenge the winning team and
play to decide the championship.
However, if there is' a space of
two weeks before the two tieing
teams must meet their next op
ponents, they shall play off the
tie.
REPORTER WRITES HISTORICAL
REVIEW ABOUT PLAYMAKERS ON
THEIR EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY
"Drama Year Book" Places Local Thespian Group Among the
First Four in the United States.
By W.H. Windley
In a survey of the dramatic
organizations of different col
leges and Universities sent out
in 1914, we find that there were
only twelve organized groups
listed which presented regular
programs. In a recent list pub
lished in "The Drama .Year
Book" we find a record of 122
organized dramatic groups.; The
foremost four are the Carnegie
Institute of Technology, Penn
sylvania; Leland Stanford, Cal
ifornia ; Professor Bakers work,
Yale; and the Carolina Haymak
ers, University of North Carolina...
This clearly shows ;the signal
success which the Carolina Play-
makers have attained nationally
as well at locally, and reflects due
credit on the efficient work that
was inaugurated at the Univer
sity in 1918 by Professor Koch.
At this time, the eighth anni
versary of the Playmakers, a
brief outline of its purpose, sub
stance, and accomplishments
would not be amiss.
The stated aim of the Play
makers is to advance dramatic
art both in the University and in
outside communities. To provide
a means for experimental plays
portraying the life, customs, and
traditions of the people in ques
tion. So far they have met with
success in both fields; the stu
dents, the University, and the
State rendering invaluable as
sistance and encouragement. .
This group of players and
playwrights are very fortunate
in having an unusually rich field
from which to draw their stories.
There is hardly any other ter
ritory in the United States that
can afford the " folk-dramatist
".' (Continued on page four)
A MEMBER OF THE GRAIL REVIEWS
HISTORY OF LOCAL HONORARY CLUB
Organization Buys Megaphones for Cheerios "Speak, Greet,
Meet Week" Is Another One of Its Achievements -
Upholds - Carolina Ideals.
By Satellite
The Order of the Grail at its
regular semi-monthly meeting
held last week voted unanimous
ly to bear the financial strain
placed upon Carolina's new
Cheerio's by the purchase of
small megaphones. The amount
necessary to fully pay for the
two hundred-fifty megaphones
used last Saturday was given as
positive of the respect that this
order has for the "Cheerios". In
addition, the " Grail members
voted to give fifty dollars as
their annual contribution to the
Y. M. C. A.
The above business transacted
at the Grail meeting is merely an
example of the splendid accom
plishments that 'the . order has
performed since it came into ex
istence seven years ago. The
Grail is an organization devoted
to the perpetuation of Carolina's
ideals, and its cheif purpose is
to establish more harmony and a
better - spirit of cooperation to
wards the one aim the Carolina
Ideal.' " TV :" "
Gives Basketballs
In 1920, the Grail first sprang
into prominence, when it pur
chased gold basketballs for the
basketball team. The order put
on several dances at different
intervals of the year and they
were greeted with enthusiasm on
the part of the. students. Since
then it has been the custom of
the Grail to give these dances
every year and definite plan was
worked out that provided for
three Grail dances a quarter
making a total of nine a year.
At one time the Grail handled
the entertainments for visiting
seams. V .
The Order of the Grail has
many awards and varied activi
ties, most of which rarely reach
the ears of the people at large.

ELGIN DEFEATS
DALRYMPLE IN
EXCITING MATCH
Position of Players Varies Little on
Account of Little Playing.
;" In the most interesting match
that has been thus far played on
the Varsity tennis courts this
year, Captain "Dune" Elgin re
tained his position at the head of
the ladder by repelling Dalrym
ple's threat Tuesday afternoon
by the close margin of 6-4, 4-6,
7-5. The matches are being
played very slowly, and as yet
there have been few changes in
position. . .
The team this fall has been
greatly weakened by the failure
of Harvell to return to school.
The ineligibility of Waddell, who
was not in school last quarter,
has also been greatly felt.
The standing of the ladder at
present is as follows:
1. Elgin. 2. Dalrymple. 3.
Blaylock. ' 4. Cone. 5. Coving
ton. . 6. Matthews. 7. Bunch. 8.
Norwood.. 9. Scott. 10. Sho
han. 11. Causey. 12. Crowson.
13. Eaton.
The inaugural address of
Speaker Warren was presented
before the Phi Assembly, Tues
day night. The oaths of the so
ciety to the new men were ad
ministered to George Thompson
and W. M. Thomas, bringing the
total of the initiates for the
year to fifty-two.
"The Phi Assembly is a vital
part of the University life," Mr.
Warren began in his speech.
If we are to be leaders of men,
according to the speaker, we
must have the power of force
fully conveying our thoughts.
For this reason the society
should act" as a training place
in which with a serious and ac
tive attitude we may increase
our speaking abilities. The As
sembly can also be an important
factor in molding the opinions of
the campus and making every
thing connected with the Uni
versity better and finer.
A committee was selected to
confer with the Di Senate con:
cerning the Mary D. Wright De
bate and to formulate plans for
the Intra - Freshman Debate
This is to consist of Ralph Noe,
chairman, Walter Kelley, R. M.
Hardee, and J. H, Harrell.
. The motion was introduced to
the effect that the hour of meet
ing be changed to 7 :00 o'clock
from the previous 7:30. This
seemed to require little discus
sion and found favor in the vot
ing of the members.
The next resolution concerned
the levying of a Franchise Tax
for the support of an eight
months school term. Messrs.
Hardee, Parker and Mewborn
heartily supported this idea as
most necessary for the general
progress of the state. They fur
ther stressed the unfair advan
tage in education that fell to the
lot of the city child. Messrs.
Johnston and Whitley opposed
this plan and spoke of exper
ience as being an important
teacher for children in rural dis
tricts. No immediate' decision
could be reached because of the
expressed desire of many to at
tend the Noel lecture. The reso
lution was tabled and the meet
ing adjourned bfore its custom
ary time.
CAPT. NOEL LECTURES
. ON EVEREST SCALERS
Yesterday evening in " Mem
orial Hall, Captain Paul Noel, of
ficial photographer of the Mount
Everest Expedition, gave an il
lustrated lecture on the attemp
ted conquest of Nature's last
stronghold. Previous to 1921
only one expedition had attemp
ted to reach the summit of Ever
est, the world's highest moun
tain, which reaches a height of
29,000 feet or five and one-half
miles above sea level. This par
ty, composed of skilled alpine
climbers, was forced to turn
back after reaching the height
of 24,600 feet on account of at
mospheric conditions.
In 1921 an expedition was sent
to Tibet under the auspices of
the National Geographic Society
and the Alpine Club to map the
mountain and the outlying terri
tory. Then, in 1922, an at
tempt was made to reach the
top, but the climbers, after

GAME AT COLLEGE PARK
North Carolina's football team
leaves Chapel Hill en route to
College Park today, where they
will meet the heavy University
of Maryland eleven.
Strong odds' favor the Mary
land team to win. Despite the
fact that three out of four
games have resulted in defeat,
the College Park students have
an exceptionally powerful foot
ball machine.
Chicago, with its pile-drive
tactics, hammered through
Coach Curley Byrd's defense for
a victory early in the season.
South Carolina administered a
second defeat when touchdowns
resulted from a pass and a block
ed kick. Last Saurday Mary
land opened the contest with the
mighty V. P. I. in flourishing
style, and gave the spectators
cause to believe that, the Vir
ginians would be crushed. Fum
bles and penalties however, ex
tracted fight from the Maryland
ers' offense, and, at the same
time, aided V. P. I. in obtaining
a decisive victory. ...
Saturday Maryland will tackle
Carolina with a vim made doubly
forceful by anxiety to wipe out
the stain left by defeats at the
hands of Chicago, South Caro
lina and V. P. I.

As a part of the Tar Heel's
program of surveys on condi
tions about the campus an in
vestigation upon the distribu
tion of the students' time is to
be made. This type of survey
has been held at many of the
larger universities, including
Dartmouth, Northwestern, and
Syracuse and as a result many
interesting discoveries have been
made which have led . to impor
tant "reforms and advances -in
student life and organization.
the University of North Car
olina survey, carried on by the
Tar Heel and the Office of the
Dean of Students, will be begun
in chapel tomorrow morning.
Each freshman and sophomore
will be given a card upon which
he is requested to keep an ac
curate account of just how he
spends'' his time throughout the
following ; week. These cards
are to be turned in Friday, the
29th of October; statistics will
be compiled from them which
will show-exactly how the stu

Men About Moral Standards
Dr. E. A. Abernethy, Univer
sity physician, reminded stu
dents in Chapel yesterday that
all men are required to come to
the infirmary when they are sick
enough to go to bed.' "We shall
be glad to see you at the infirm
ary," he said. "We have 42 beds
there, and we demand that you
occupy one when you have a bad
cold or anything else that neces
sitates your going to bed."
The doctor warned the men a-
gainst any immoral act that
would possibly lead to physical
impairment or contraction of
disease. At first sign of any such
disease he urged the students to
see him at once. "Always re
member that man is a decent
animal and not a beast," he ad
vised.
