Faculty Votes Down Proposal
of Return to Semester System
55 TO 26 IS THE VOTE
Agitations . for Change Came
Almost Entirely from
Members of Faculty.
The members of the Univer
sity faculty met in the Phar
macy building yesterday after
noon and by a vote of 55,-to 26
decided to continue the present
quarter Bystem instead of intro
ducing the semester system.
The decision of the faculty to
vote down the semester plan set
tled a question that has been
hanging fire for the past month
or more. The quarter plan now
in vogue in the University, had
been assailed by several of the
professors .who were eager to
have the semester plan intro
duced. They argued that only
one or two of the prominent col
leges oyer the country were us
ing the antique quarter plan,
and were of the opinion that
North Carolina ought to break
away, from' it.
Prior to the war, the Univer
sity was run on the semester
plan. Whe.n the war broke out,
the quarter plan was adapted
as one that .would be of . more
benefit to the University under
the existing conditions. Hun
' dreds of other schools "adapted
the quarter plan on account of
the war, and afterwards revert
ed to the semester plan. A few
months ago, several of , the Uni
versity faculty began to consid
er the advisability of returning
to the semester plan.
One of the main arguments
used by the proponents of the
quarter plan was that the semes
ter plan would place too great
a financial strain upon the Uni
versity. The action of the faculty in
maintaining the quarter plan is

NEW BUCCANEER
SEEMS ALL WET
Buck, Jr., Draws Hearty Praise
from Reviewer.
(By Daivleys)
The Buccaneer has drifted to
the campus in the form of an
All Wet number. ..As we glance
through the pages, we notice a
deplorable lack of talent on the
campus or else a negligent edi
tor's blue pencil. The former
is probably the reason for much
of the Buccaneer's flatness, al
though it would take no Buggs
Baer to find a few pertinent and
subtle gags. '
V . Brown Derby takes a flyer and
floats into a spread sheet; : Since
the page was- instituted, the
Swcccmeer-reading campus has
at least had something v to look
forward to between the covers
of the state's only college com
ic, considering the fact that it
was evidently suggested by
Judge Jr.'s page. The editor
and Buck, Jr. must have formed
a compliment pact.
The cuts line up with the usual
run of the Buccaneer; the art ed
itor doing' the ' majority' of the
work, and r John Held would
probably rave in : wrath if; he
cbuld see the perfect imitation
of his characters on the cover.

into consideration, we might say
that in some places it is a little

With the release of Carolina's
1927 track schedule, the actual
business of training a winning
team will get underway shortly
for the first meet, which is only
a month off.
Facing one of the stiff est sche
dules a Carolina track team has
had since track became a major
sport at the University,' Coach
'etzer and assistant coaches
Dale Ranson and Lester Belding
have wide gaps to fill in the
ranks of last year's Southern

Coach Bob Fetzer and his as

romped away with every meet
on the schedule, topping off the
season's record , by winning the
Southern Conference Champion

teams in the South. The Tar

DUKE THEOLOGIAN
TO SPEAK SUNDAY
Fifth of Religious Series Concerns
. Science and New Theology.'
Dr. H. E. Spence of Duke Uni
versity will preach in the Meth

night, on "the Interpretation of
Theology in the Light of Sci
ence." 0 This is the fifth of the
series of religious talks on the
new ideas of God. ;"
, Dr. Spence is In the depart
ment of theology at Duke, and
is an exporlenfc ; of advanced
modern religious -theories. , In
his talk he will compare the sci
entific1 viewpoint as opposed to
the old school of theology, and
show the relation of the preceed
ing discussion by eminent sci
entists to the fieid of new theol
ogy.
The Carolina leather-pushers
will meet the University of Vir
ginia boxing team tonight at
7:00 in the Tin Can. The meet
promises to be the closest of the
season, for the Cavaliers possess
one of the strongest teams in the
South. They have not been de
feated by a Southern team since
boxing was recognized there as a
sport.
The Virginians come to Chap
el Hill with a well-balanced ag
gregation, one that has fought
Northern institutions with credi
table results and that will give
the Tar Heels plenty of competi
tion. 1 They have suffered no de
feats this year and have gather
ed in the scalps of Florida," V.
M. I., and other institutions. Oiff
the other hand Carolina has an
nexed wins over Florida, V. P. I.,
and Georgia, and still has a
clean slate. Boxing has been es
tablished longer at the Cavalier
stronghold than at Chapel Hill,
and therefore has a better repu
tation, but the Tar Heels are
planning to kick the "ole dope
bucket" all over the Tin Can
floor tonight.
A new face will be seen in the
Tar Heel line-up tonight. Meiggs,
a sophomore, will take Mathe
son's place in the featherweight
class. Matheson was injured in
the Georgia meet and will be un
able to scrap. His place was
won by Meiggs in an elimination
series Thursday afternoon. The
rest of the squad came out . of
the Georgia meet with no ill ef
fects and are now in the pink of
condition.

Basketeers,
The Frosh basketeers left yes
terday for a five day trip through
Virginia, on which they will
play four games against the
leading prep schools and college
freshman teams in the state.
The first ten men will be
taken on the trip. They will be
accompanied by Coach Belding
and "Shine" Howard, who is act
ing as Freshman Manager, due
to the inability of Manager
Hatch Covington to. "make the
trip. The men making the trip
are: Cleland, Adkins, Whisnant,
Fanner, Maus, Farleigh, Kerr,
Smith, Race, and Brown. n
The team will play Virginia

ington Tuesday night. -y
Immediately after the, Virgi
nia basketball game last night,
ten uaroiina players, accom
panied by Coach Ashemore and
Manager Bob Hardee, left for
Lexington, Virginia where the
Tar Heels will meet the V. M. I,
Cadets tonight in their first
game of the Northern trip. Fol
lowing the V. M. I. game, the
Phantoms will journey to Wash'
ington, D. C. -They will meet
the University of Maryland Mon
day night and the powerful Navy
team Wednesday night.
The cadets of V. M. I. have a
smooth working team that has
met and defeated quite a few
prominent southern conference
quints. In spite of the fact that
V. M. I. has a strong five, the
Tar Heels will find . them ' the
easiest foemen on the Northern
trip. For this reason, if the op
portunity presents itself to
night, Coach Ashemore will
make quite a few substitutions
in order to save the rest of his
men for the extremely hard
games witn Maryland ana tne
Navy.
Last year, Maryland defeated
the Southern champions at Col
lege Park by the margin of a
single point. This year, the Old
Liners have a team that has been
going better than last season's
quint, and several of the players
that faced the Phantoms a year
ago, will meet again Monday
night.
The Navy has one of the most
powerful teams in the North and
to date have lost but one game
out of the ten or twelve played
They have defeated Pennsylva
nia, Maryland by a two point
margin, Catholic U., and several
other top notch teams.
If the Tar Heels can return
to he Hill next Thursday with
a majority of the games won on
the trip, the students will be
more than satisfied.
The ten Carolina men that
made the trip are as follows :
Bunn Hackney, Billy Vanstory,
Rufus Hackney, "Pinky' Mor
ris, "Red" Price, George Cathey
Carr Purser, Bob Sides, "Big"
Baggett, arid Henry Satterfield
or "Pa" Perkins. "Mutt" Evans
will not make the trip on ac
count of a severely sprained
ankle. -.,'

FINAL SCORE IS 42 TO 13
The Tar Heels won their
fourth conference game of the
year when they defeated their
old rivals, the University of Vir
ginia at the Tin Can last night,
42 to 13. The White Phantoms
were the first to get their scor
ing machinery under way. Sev
eral baskets by Vanstory and a
couple by Bunn Hackney shot
the winners into s! safe lead at
the beginning and Virginia never
was within hailing distance af
ter that.
Both teams experienced a
great deal of trouble in stand
ing up during the first half due
to the slippery floor, but there
was not the shadow of a doubt
as to which had the stronger ag
gregation. The score at the end
of the half was 17 to 6, with the
Phantoms on the long end. Ten
of those 17 points came from the
sharpshooting Vanstory, Tar
Heel forward.
The White Phantoms got off to
a splendid start in the second
periody piled up a huge lead, and
were replaced by substitutes.
The entire second team played
the last ten minutes and held
down the invading Cavaliers as
well as the varsity had.
Vanstory and B. Hackney,
playing only part of the game,
were high scorers for the night.
The former caged twelve points -'
and the latter counted ten. The
floor work of Rufus Hackney
was one of the neatest exhibi
tions seen thi3 year. Cabell was ,
the bright light for the Cava
liers and the guarding of Mack
all, all-Southern football star,
was very good. ,

36 to 22.
With substitutes playing a
greater part of the game and ac
quitting themselves after the
manner of real varsity players,
the Tar Heels defeated the V. P.
I. basketball team, at the Tin
Can Thursday night, 36 to 22.
The Gobblers got off to a fast
start and scored six points be
fore the Phantoms could count
at all. Billy Vanstory became
alarmed at the lead of the vis
itors arid ' forthwith proceeded
to drop in two beautiful long
shots and a crip in less than two
minutes. A foul shot by Pinky
Morris added on to Vanstory 's
six points put the Phantoms out
in xront and they were never
headed after that. The score
