GET CUB- AND TROPHIES
The University of North Car
olina won'snQther Southern Con
ference Championship 'Saturday
when they journeyed to Athens,
G,, and brought back the' huge
silver cup that goes to the team
winning' the "Southern Confer
ence cross-country race. The
victory of the Tar Heels was one
of the most decisive registered
in the -history of the Southern
five mile classic. Their score of
35 points was , almost twice as
good as that of their nearest op
ponent. Auburn, with 64 points.
Galen Elliott,-, in his first' ap
pearance at the cross-country
meet came thru brilliantly for
the .Tar '-Heels' ,. by . winning first
place and establishing a new rec
ord for the five mile course.
Covering the distance in 26 min
utes 45.6. -.seconds,;.- he .barely
managed to nose out Hutcheson
of Virginia-in a thrilling finish
that waa so close, the -watches
of the timers failed to record the
difference. -
somewhere within the little
crowd that separated itself from
the- mob of runners two miles
from the beginning. As the end
of the race approached,. the se
lect crowd thinned out tilP SCO
. yards from the finish, Hutche
son of Virginia 'and - Elliott of
. Carolina were the only two left
far out iri front.' The: Virginia
man was leading, by about twen

gap between "Hutchison and El

close up and as the finish -line
was reached Elliott flashed past
Lis rival to win'by twelve inches.
Forty-one .seconds; later,. Frit-

Field Saturday.
NUMEROUS. T E N A L T I E S
In a battle that resembled a
tag-football game beeause of the
numerous forward passes at
tempted by both sides, the Tar
Babies were defeated in the final
game of the year by the Univer
sity of Virginia Freshmen on
Emerson field Saturday, by the.
score of 16 to 13. The margin
of the victory was a beautiful
forty-three yard dropkiek square
between the" uprights by Ryrd,
Virginia center, , early ;in the
third quarter. .. - -
One fourth of the plays at
tempted by each side were for
ward passes. Virginia complet
ed most of their attempts, and
in this feature of the game they
clearly outclassed the Tar
Babies. Both of Virginia's
touchdowns, madein the first
quarter, were contributed by
Faulkner, former Episcopal
High star, .
- The Tar Babies pushed across
their first marker just after the
beginning of the second half.
Coach. Belding must have whis
pered something in. their ears in
the interval between halves, and
this coupled with the Cheerios
upon-the scene and several beau
tiful runs by Jimmy Maus, net
ted the first score. . Maus . cir
cled left end for the six yards
that finally gave the Tar Babies
six points.
In the last Quarter Maus re
ceived a short fifteen yard pass
from.Whisnant and steered his
way back and forth across the
field to. cover the fifty-five yards
between him and the Virginia
goal line. This run was the long
est of the game and was one of
the neatest exhibitions" of open
field running that the Carolina
students have seen this year.
The Tar Babies clearly out
played their ancient rivals dur
ing the last half. Faulkner, the
backfield ace of the Cavaliers,

The second annual conference
of the General Alumni Associa
tion drewtb a close-last Satur
day afternoon after a two-day
period of intensive work on the
part of the delegates. Interest
ran high throughout all ses
sions and before disbanding the
alumni voted to make the confer

Following the dramatic appeal
by President Chase, characteriz
ed by its favor and earnestness,
in which he gave emphatic warn
ing that the State's. University,
now recognized, as a leader a
mong other universities throug
out the country, will be forced
to take a second rate position
unless its legimate needs for
itemized in its budget requests,
are met properly, the alumni
pledged themselves to support
every request for appropriations
the University has made of" the
next legislature and expressed
complete confidence in the stew
ardship of its President.
"The time has come when the
people of North Carolina have to
make-up their mind as to what
kind of University they- want,
and I don't believe for one mom
ent that they will be content
with a seeohd-ratc. university,"
President Chase declared. - -'
Must Carry On
'The University today--cannot
measure its needs, in terms
of student enrollment alone. The
institution -will be caught up
with the- current needs' of its
building program if its present
request is granted, but the main
tenance program is a thing that
must go on. The University is

The. work has been delayed for
a short time, due to the rainy
weather, and is still handicap

od to keep the fresh concrete

of cedar-sawdust over the ce

Speaking before' the North
Carolina Club meeting last eve
ning in Saunders Hall "on "the
case for the Short Ballot. Mr".
Alvin S. Kartus said : "If we are
to have good government, if we
arje to have representative gov
ernment, we must have a gov
ernment that fits in with the
needs and the moods of the peo
ple. The people have refused to
give cognizance to the minor of
fices, which has led to a gen
eral Inertia and misrepresenta
tiye government. The Jong bal
lot does not work; its rule is
machine rule, and machine rule
is not democracy. The only way
that we will have government by
the 'people in reality Ts to sim
plify government sufficiently for
the average voter to maneuver
it intelligently. . The long bal
lot prohibits this; it -is the poli
tician's ballot ;Tht short ballot
is the people's ballot.".
Mr. Kartus reviewed the prog
ress of the ballot from .the
founding of the Federal Union,
pointing out that at the close of
the 18th century when there
were" few offices the voters were
able to come into personal cop
tact with each candidate. Un
der such a system and set of
conditions we had a real democ
racy. '. ...
As the nation grew, many ap
pointive offices were filled by the
major officials, and this system
continued in vogue until the time
of Jackson, who, was placed in
office largely, by his slogan
"elect everybody."- From -, the
theory of "Jackaonian democ
racy" the long ballot is evolved.
The realization of this fact
brought about the direct pri
mary reform, and it will soon
