VOLUME XXXV
CHAPEL HILL, N. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1927
NUMBER 38
0.' WARREN IS
CHIEF OPPONENT
OF SPORTS BILL
One Major Sport for Collegiates
Is Outstanding Measure Be
fore the Phi Assembly.
The first meeting of the Phi
Assembly for the quarter was
marked by spirited discussion on
the resolution that the society
favor the participation of stu
dents in only one major sport.
No definite conclusion, was
reached and the bill was tabled
until the next meeting;.
Mr. Warren opened the dis
cussion as a hearty opponent of
the resolution. He said that sta
tistics made in larger universi
ties proved conclusively that stu
dents participating in two major
sports were not negligent , of
their studies. Athletes indulg
ing in three major sports are ex
ceptions and there are at pres
ent rigid rules of passing cours
es before their eligibility. Mr.
Clemons contributed the idea
that this state of affairs would
curtail personal privileges.
Messrs. Noe and Johnson fav
ored the bill as a means of sub
ordinating all outside activities
to the studies of the university.
Athletics have been so glorified
!in our colleges ' that the true
ideals of a university have been
disregarded. It was cited that
professionalism, in college ath
letics is a direct result of their
improper emphasis. . The speak
ers also concluded that the nec
essities of later life require the
use of the mind more than the
body.
The "Assembly went on record
as favoring the plan of the De
bate Council. It was generally
agreed that the present chaotic
condition of debating at the Uni
versity requires some definite
changes in its procedure. ' .
WtU Elect Speaker r ,
It was decided by the vote of
the society to elect the Speaker
for the third term1 at; its next
meeting. This was found nec
essary in order to take the Yaclc
ety Yack picture in time. Each
member is asked to be . present
at the next meeting to see that
his name is correctly spelt on
the roll,' as it is customary to
print this roll in the Yackety
Yack.

BRADSHAW URGES STUDENTS TO
SEE HIM ABOUT NECESSARY LOANS
WITH WHICH TO STAY IN SCHOOL
The office of the Dean of Stu
dents announces that a number
of loan funds are available for
the use of students this quarter.
Last quarter $14,000 was in
use by the University students
as loan funds. So far this quar
ter all the money available has
not been applied for; abundant
resources are on hand to take
care of any students who might
otherwise find it necessary to
Dean Bradshaw urges that
any student who is considering
withdrawing from school with
out completing : his education
come to .his office for a confer
ence ; concerning these " loan
funds.
The University of North Car
olina has as ample resources in
' loan funds as any university in
the country in proportion to the
size of . its student body. The
total amount of loan funds, in
cluding outstanding notes, avail
able cash, and . invested princi
ple, is nearly $150,000. A large
part of this money was given
upon the stipulation that only
the income be loaned. A fund
of $10,000. has just become avail
able this year. ' Y 1
To those who are considering
borrowing, the following infor
mation . about these funds will
be of interest. The only secur
ity required is the signature of
two persons besides the borrow
er who have property in their
own name. The interest is at
the rate of six per cent. The
loan is to be repaid in two years
with the privilege of a renewal
if the borrower is still in school.
The' interest collected from the
borrower is added to the orig
inal fund, which is thus insured
of a gradual growth.1 Last year
$34,000 in interest was collected
and added to the fund. v
Mr. William Doub Kerr has
resigned his place as teacher of
French at the Chapel Hill high
school,',' and Miss Lucy Gilmore
who -comes from Peabody Col
lege, Nashville, will succeed him.
Miss Gilmore has recently com
pleted her . requirements for
Masters degree in French.

'Do Not Wish for
Dfs Former Glory
Speaks Lee Kennett
v. ' '
New President's Inaugural Address
Well Received by Senators
' Fleece Bill Tabled.
BULLETIN
"I do not wish for the former
glory of the Di, but I wish very
much for its future service in
the training and development of
real men who will become real
citizens," declared the incoming
president of the Di Senate, Lee
Kennett, , '27, Pleasant Garden,
in his inaugural address before
the Senate Tuesday night.
In the speech the president
made it evident that the Di of
former years,' presumably i then
"in glory," had " dissipated its
energies along too many direc
tionsand had lost sight of its
original purpose, the training of
speakers. It was a "big frog in
a little pond," and managed to
successfully have ' a finger in
every pie on the campus because
of the smallness of the school
Since that time, however, the
tremendous growth of the Uni
versity has brought with it many
new organizations and thus
stripped the Di of much of its
uncalled for responsibility. At
the present time, the Di is not
reduced in status, but merely
permitted to pursue more
thoroughly its original aims, the
successful training of speakers
and orators. y
The inaugural address was
met with one of the best recep
tions of any made before the
Senate in several years. The
other officers' of President Ken-
nett's administration are: Nor
man Block, President pro-tem ;
John Norwood, clerk: Charlie
Waddell, sergeant-at-arms ; H.
W. McGarrity, assistant treasur
er; Fred Gilreath, treasurer.
The bill before the Senate con
demning the Golden Fleece was
tabled until next meeting. One
new bill was introduced, reading:
Resolved: that the Di Senate go
on record as approving the tra
ditional Freshman-Sophomore
snow fight.
KIKE KYSER DIRECTS RESCUE
WORK IN MACRAE CONFLAGRATION
Cheerio Leader, Leads in Saving a Piano University Students!
Successfully Act as Firemen in Recent Fierce Blaze.

(By Glenn Holder)
"We Chapel Hill firemen re
ceive more real aid from out
siders than do those of any oth
er town in the state," one of the
Hill's finest said as he manipu
lated a hose at the McRae fire
last Saturday night. , "The Uni
versity boys jump in, give us a
hand when we need it, and stick
with us until it is all over- at
every fire that breaks out here."
This statement should be
taken cum grano salis, since sev
eral Carolina students were in
hearing1 distance when the re
mark was made and the fireman
is one of the Hill's leading mer
chants, during intervals between
blazes, deriving most of his
trade from the collegians. How
ever, witnesses report that U.
N. C. students were much in
evidence at the scene of the
blaze and that they expended a
prodigous amount of energy.
They demonstrated anew the
truth of the report that the Uni
versity has the most intelligent
student body in the South.
1 . Kyser a Hero
Kike Kyser proved himself the
man of the hour, as he has a
habit of doing. Gathering a
round him several trusted hench
men, he dashed to the cellar at
their head. A suppressed laugh
ran through the crowd of onlook
ers as the famed organizer of the
Cheerios disappeared within the
Stygian darkness. Allusions to
a supposed store of alcoholic
beverages were made, but the
suspicions of most were allayed
when Kike, director as usual, and
his cohorts appeared several
minutes later with a piano in
tow. As soon as it was deposit
ed at a safe distance from the
fire; Kike led his , band back to
the house with the purpose of
saving everything remaining in
the structure. However, he met
with a cruel rebuff. .
"All right, all you boys clear
out and stay out," the chief of
the fire department gruffly or
dered as Kike stepped inside the
door. For a moment he appear
ed slightly crestfallen, but his

Brownlow Jackson, Hender
sonville, freshman football play
er, was nearly suffocated during
the frosh-soph snowball fight by
forcing yesterday afternoon a
torn portion of the sophomore
flag into his mouth.
(By Mutt Evans)
"Whiz!" and ' twenty more
snowballs dropped heavily a
round the physique of another
valiant representative of the
sophomore class. Freshmen, as
numerous as snowfiakes were
five days ago, swarmed or rath
er poured around the flagstaff
and the "well, yesterday after
noon, shouting lustily their class
numerals. Now . and then
mostly then a soft "29" would
pierce the, atmosphere and a de
luge of snowballs would descend
upon the undiplomatic sopho
more offender. Sucb was the
state of affairs that occupied the
center of the campus when the
freshman class delightfully en
tertained members of the other
classes at the old well from 3 to
6 o'clock, on Wednesday after
noon, January 12, 1927. ' t
About ten minutes to three,
over one hundred and fifty
freshmen had answered the call
of class of thirty. They raced
up and down, across and back,
around the well and the flag pole,
chattering like, a bunch of old
maids at a funeral, stooping
every few steps, to gather up a
handful of snow and mold a
shape resembling something
round. Unoffending onlookers,
passing in the vicinity of the
well, were the targets .for the
first snowballs of the freshmen.
Even co-eds were not ; entirely
exempt from a stray heave or
two. Before long a few, belated
sophomores made their appear
ance and almost as quickly made
their disappearance! Meanwhile
the freshmen raised the symbol
of their class a wan blue flag
to the middle of the flagpole.
No explanation was forthcoming
as to why the, flag was at half
mast, but conclusions were that
the freshmen were in mourning
for the poor sophs. Another
opinion was that the fresh were
afraid to let any unnecessary
distance come between them and
the sacred banner. .
Frosh Retire
The sophs retired after their
first unsuccessful onslaught, and
left the fresh vociferously ex
claiming their superiority to any
and every organization in the
world! The sophs, by a clever
ruse, attracted a mass of the
freshmen away from the flag
pole, and led by a Napoleonic
field general, . called Motsinger,
sneaked up behind Old East Dor
mitory. With a burst of noise,
the fifty odd students dashed
out into the open, and caught
the few frosh around the flag
pole completely by surprise. In
two jerks of a sheep's tail, the
sophs had the precious flag down
from the greased pole, and joy
ously turned their faces toward
safety. But they reckoned with
out the returning mob of fresh
ies, and like a snow avalanche,
over a hundred boys rolled upon
the possessors of the cloth. If
the snow had been a little deep
er the sophs might have passed
completely out of the picture by
being buried , as a result of the
first drive of their opponents.
At this phase of the situation,
members of both classes discard-
