HILL, v N. ,C, -TUESDAY;' FEBRUARY 22, 1927 NUMBER 55 Game With Duke Tonight Is the Final State Basketball Contest Affair In Tin Can ,Will Determine , Carolina's Basketball State Championship. Claim To Chappell Announces the Dates of Annual v Campus Elections . 'Nominations for the general campus elections will be held in Chapel March 23, and elections will take place two weeks after ward, "April 6, it has been an nounced by Sydney Chappell. The elections committee, in its meeting Friday night, decided definitely upon the above dates. It is expected that the remind ' er of the fast approaching date ' ..for nominations will stir up the ' .various political elements on the ; campus to unprecedented aetiv , ; ity. The! political pot has been t boiling merrily for some time, but from now on it should f air ; ly sizzle. The line-up of the dif tferent groups on the campus will . probably take on more clearly ; defined lines very speedily. Dave Carroll's proposed two party plan may yet be used to their advantage by one side or another at this late hour. It was also announced that no absentee voting will be permit ted. That is, a. voter must present ( himself at the booth before a bal lot will be issued to him. No 1 proxies will be accepted. The . Australian Ballot" system will be used.' .That is, ballots will be issued to' the voters at the polls, .and they must be marked in booths to be supplied. ; No "pol iticking " will be allowed within the booths. , TARHEELSLOSE TO MARYLAND IN A SLOW CONTEST Old Liners Take Rubber Contest 23-19 Last Pre-Tournament, Game for Both Teams. . The Tar Heel basketeers will make their final appearance-,'of the year m the Tin Can tonight at 8:30 when Coach Ashemore will marshall his forces against the Duke Blue Devils. A defeat at the hands of the invading Methodists will cost the Tar Heels 1 their present tie for the state V championship with Wake Forest, . and , the game will be watched greedily by the Wake Forest fans who will be praying for the Blue Devils to upset the dope tonight. Duke has one of the most im proved quints in the state. At the beginning of the year they suffered defeat after defeat, but they , finally bolstered up their quint and of late have been caus ing their opponents quite a bit of ; trouble. Wake Forest herself had a hard time in conquering the rejuvenated Blue Devils last week. The Tar Heels journeyed over to Durham earlier in the season and barely nosed out the fight ing Methodists in a game that was unusually tight throughout. The final score was 40 to 33. Duke has a sophomore for ward named Candler, who grad uated from the bench a scant month ago and has been setting the sport followers all aglow by his scoring feats. The ; same Carolina line-up that started the Maryland dis aster Saturday night will in all probability answer the referee's whistle tonight. Two Carolina players will be playing their last game before.' University stu dents. Captain Bunn Hackney and Bob Sides are the two lads referred to. Both are seniors and have been athletic mainstays since their matriculation at the University. 1 vFrank Graham in Charlotte Professor Frank P, Graham of the history department is in a ' Charlotte hospital where ; he underwent an operation Thurs day to have his tonsils removed. He is expected back in Chapel Hill the latter part of this week. The .Tar Heels suffered their second conference defeat of the year Saturday night in the Tin Can. when Maryland came from behind in the second half, of a slow game and finally nosed out the flying phantoms 23 ito 19 The damp, cold atmosphere of the Tin Can was largely respon sible for the slow game. The first half of the contest was merely a defensive exhibi- tion ana Doth teams were ex periencing difficulty in scoring consistently. Largely due to the splendid work of Captain ! Bunn Hackney, the Tar Heels manag ed to hold on to a slender 9 .to 5 lead when the gun announced! the end of the half. The Old Liners started .the second half off with a bang and in less than six minutesrwere leading by a single point. 1, Wit Ji two minutes to play, leading by three points, Maryland resorted to the traditional freeze, and managed to eke in another two pointer. Captain Boyd, appear ed all over the scene of action in the last half drive of his quint and was high scorer of the-game with 8 points. ' The Tar Heels handed several field goals to the invaders that were shot in a perfectly unmol ested manner as no guard was back to ward off . any sudden breaks for the basket. Eoyd, in particular, collected a couple of field goals after dribbling half the length of the floor with a Flying Phantom tagging worth lessly at his heels. The Maryland victory was the determining game of a (three game series, -Carolina having previously won and lost in a two" game series at College Park. The two Maryland defeats are the only conference reverses ex perienced by the Tar, Heels. Line-up and summary: ..." Maryland (23) ' Carolina (19) ; Position ; Boyd (8) IL - R. Hackney.

CvCLUB PAPER Meddling of Legislatures: County Government Is De ; nounced Suggests ' Re ' . " forms In County LawsJ Speaking before the . 'regular meeting of the North; Carolina Club last evening, Ralph W.v Noe of Carteret County declared that the "most imperative need 'con fronting the state today ; is to stop this dangerous! meddling of the Legislature5 in the! govern mental structures of the various counties:" He believes that ; the only way to do this is to pass some sort of a uniform . county government law and then let all or most of the counties be gov erned by it. ; ! !!! "M" The speaker did not believe that any change in' the Constitu tion was necessary to bring a oout the desired reforms; 'The county," he said, "will still con tinue to be the creature of the Legislature for some time to come, but it need not be the vic tim of the whims and fancies of its'' individual members. The Legislature can govern the coun ties just as easily and much more scientifically by one gener al law than by the .thousands ground out at every- session.' Laws Too Easy To Enact Mr. Noe believes that the in sidious thing about these laws is not the number, as great as that may seeni Their greatest evil lies; in the fact that ''a law regarding the purely local affairs of any county can be . passed merely on the instigation of the representative from that coun ty without the ' .people of the county knowing anything about it" There , is . seldom any de bate on the measures, for the bills are passed as a . matter of courtesy, by the other represen tatives and nothing further is said about them. . : ; The present "cash-book" sys tem of handing the county fin ances: is .Vdelapidated and out of date.

College f l Plan Optional Class Attendance and .Examinations At End of ' . Years for Few Exceptional Upperclassmen Embodies New Plan Now Being Considered. Two A startling innovation ' has been proposed in the College of Liberal AArts, offering special consideration to a few exception al men in the two upper classes of that school. At present this plan is in the nature of a pro posal, for it has not been passed by the Liberal Arts faculty, However, ' it will toe brought up at the next meeting with a rec ommendation from the Admin istrative Board of the College. The proposal plan,; if passed by, the faculty, would result in the selecting of ten rising juniors and seniors,- - outstanding ;' in scholarship and strength of character; for a special mode of study. Each student following this new plan would select a chosen field for intensive study and would pursue his study un der ihe guidance of a special committee. He would not be. re quired to, register for specific courses, to attend classed, or to take examinations until the end of his senior year, at which time he would be given a comprehen sive examination covering his field of study. Oxford Plan. Such a plan, while new to this University, follows the proce dure of certain other institu tions; it is the regular study procedure of Oxford University It is designed to offer the.excep tional student opportunity for wider individual culture, more comprehensive reading, and much greater, sense of; freedom to study in a field in which he is especially interested. The plan in full as it will be presented to the faculty of the Liberal Arts College at the next meeting is as follows:, Tentative , Programme for Ex ceptional Students 1. Number: . It is suggested that ten stu dents be accorded special privi leges hereinafter explained. Five exceptional men who enter upon their senior year next fall (1927 '28) and five who enter their junior year next fall. 2. . Basis of Selection: These five exceptional stu dents will be chosen on the basis of (a) Scholastic record i (at least a B record in first two years will be required), (b) Strength of character as manifested es pecially through such qualities as . initiative, intellectual ' hon esty, and faithfulness to duties.

' The campaign for open politics received its first impetus from Dave Carroll's Driftwood Fire, and', has since penetrated to every corner of the campus. Or ganizations and individuals are focussing their attention upon the adoption of whatever plan may seem most practical. Yesterday in chapel Taylor Bledsoe made a strong presenta tion of the Di-Phi plan, which was attacked in certain points by.Alvin Kartus in' a. written statement presented for him. Last, mgnt - interested juniors and seniors held a meeting for discussion of the subject, in the assembly hall of Murphey Build ing. However, all previous meet ings and discussions have mere ly been preparing the way for the Open Forum to be held to night. The entire student body is invited to be present and to take active part in. the meeting which is of such vital interest to the campus at large. This is a movement of no particular fac tion, organization, or individual r hut rather a meeting for all those who are interested. The meeting is for the, purpose of discussion entirely and for the ascertaining of student , senti ment concerning the matter of open politics; no vote will be taken on .any plan. S.i G. .

An unusually large crowd of girls from far and near came to the Hill for the several dances that were held and it was the presence of such an admirable collection of femininity that made the success, of the socials. Leading off the social program of the week-end, , the dance was given by the Kappa Sigma Al umni Association in honor of the Carolina chapter of the frater nity, at the Washington Duke hotel Friday night set an en-, viable pace for the succeeding functions. The dancers, which thronged the beautiful ballroom until two' o'clock, -declared the dance to have been a brilliant success. The Kappa Sigma chapters from Duke and State together with representatives from all the fraternities on the campus here were the guests of Durham alumni. Kike Kyser and His" Orchestra produced the music for the dancing. The fig ure was led by Bob Mason and Miss Theodora May bank. The twilight dance given at the Carolina Inn Saturday eve ning from seven until nine by the pledges of the Kappa Alpha, Zeta Psi and A. T. 0. frater nities proved again the appro priateness of, this particular type of dance which has become the rage of the winter season. Shortly after supper the . ball room became . crowded with couples swaying to the strains of the Buccaneers' music. . The dance for the short while that it lasted was a thoroughly en joyable introduction to the Grail affair which it preceded. Heralded as offering an in novation . in the . usual Grail dance procedure and inaugurat ing a new policy for that and the succeeding dances of the order, the affair in Bynum Gym Satur day night was a distinct success. rofuse decorations ! of low hanging streamers and monster anterns were the first notice able features of the new order.

Activity. North Carolina has far more iterary talent than the people realize, is the opinion of Edwin Bjorkman, of Asheville, who spent the week-end here. Mr. Bjorkman gave the Uni versity 5 chief credit for this achievement, and eplained that throughout the north and west the University of North Caro- ina -is. regarded as "the out standing institution of the South." While in. Chapel, Hill, Mr. Bjorkman was honor guest at an informal reception given by Dr. Archibald Henderson: at his home. .
