In order that the campus

meeting until he was forced to
leave for another meeting' and
then he was relieved by Walter
Kelly..Only a handful of students

Dave Carroll, the leading ad
vocate for open 'politics on the

the points that had been discuss

Junior-Senior committee that

formulated a definite plan for
reorganiation of politics, in spite
of what the Tar Heel has in
correctly said." . Continuing, he
saia, "i made an anacK. uu oc

for the situation." He announc

EPWORTH LEAGUE
HEARS BIG-MEN
Glenn, Watt and Fordham Dis
cuss Three of Campus
Problems,
The problem of drinking, tire
honor system and campus poli
tics were discussed at the Ep
worth League, by campus lead
ers Sunday night. '
Frazier Glenn first spoke on
drinking, and said that it was
a moral harm if intoxication was
the end sought. In reply to his
talk, Lionel Stander, a fresh
man, gained the floor and asked,
"Do you consider that drinking
is unchristian?" .And with an
affirmative answer the question
er asked, "how do you account
for the first miracle of Christ
which concerned the change of
water into wine?" At this point
the chairman announced that
the program was not to be
changed into an open forum,
and Stander sat down.
Lawrence Watt discussed the
honor system methods here. . v He
urged cooperation of the campus
with the Student Council in or
der to efficiently amend many
evils now existing.
Jeff Fordham, president of the
student body last year, made
some recommendations which
would do nothing more than
carry out the policy of many for
mer exponents of "clean poli
tics." His proposal was to es
tablish a code of ethics to which
a candidate might ascribe him
self when, running for office. His
suggestion to attain this end
would.be "to educate students to
a keen responsibility of their
civic duties."

pointed by Sidney Chappell,

and debating fee. Each of the
organizations has been request

of what man can do as a co-laborer
with God. . ,- ;

PHANTOMS SMASH
AUBURN MACHINE
BY 28-15 SCORE
Ashemore"fs Men Take Second
Game of Tournament Dis
play Wonderful Defense.
The Tar Heels uncovered a
burst of speed in the latter half
of their contest with Auburn at
Atlanta Saturday and defeated
the Plainsmen 28 to 15. The
score at the end of the first
half was 13 to 12, but the Tar
Heels came back in the second
half and displayed one of the
finest defensive games seen dur
ing the 1927 tournament when
they held the powerful Auburn
machine to" three points.
In the second half the play
ing through champions backed
their guards up under the Au
burn basket and effectively
stopped every play, allowing on
ly one field basket from far be
yond the foul line. The guard
ing of Morris, Carolina guard,
was very impressive, and was
largely responsible for the low
score of the losers. ' Captain
Bunn Hackney led the scoring
against Auburn, and counted 12
of his teams points. Vanstory
scored ten points, and was run
ner up for offensive honors, as
no Auburn man was able to col
lect over 6 points.
Pile Up Lead, in Last Half .
In the first half, both teams
missed numerous foul shots and
the score see-sawed back and
forth with neither team able to
gain .-a distinct advantage. Al
the half the Tar Heels were
leading by a lone point, 13 to 12.
B. Hackriey, Vanstory and Pur
ser ranged their sights on their
basket in the next period and
the Tar Heels soon drew away
from their opponents.
" Carolina students and alumni
organized a cheering section
during the last half and gave
cheer after cheer as the Phan
toms forged into the lead. Jack
Cobb, last i years all-Southern
forward, and Johnny Purser,
another court star and brother
to the Carolina center, were a
mong the crowd that urged the
Phantoms on to victory.
The Tar Heels met Georgia in
the semi-finals yesterday.

Now Has One Hundred
The Chapel Hill post of the
American Legion now has 100
members. Until this year the
membership had never gone be
yond 52. ' .
The increase is due to a cam
paign that was carried on under
the direction of Commander J.
O. Harmon. He divided the per
sonnel of the " post into two
teams which competed in the
signing-up of the county's World
War veterans. One team was
headed by Charles Martindale,
the other by Paul Roberson. The
announcement of the result of
the canvass was received with
cheers at the Legion supper.
TERPSICHORE HAS
fEEMING WEEK-END
Engineer . Students, Pi Beta
Phis, and Zeta Beta Taus
Scintillate.
; (By Bill Kindley)
Week-ends and Weak-ends
Despite the three scintillating
social events of the previous
week, Carolina's socially active
were again in their glory in the
trio of dances given last Friday
and Saturday.. (The weak-end
began when the promme-trotters
awoke "the morning after" and
tried feverishly to recall wheth
er they had seen the girl friend
home after the dance!)
The Uivil and electrical en
gineering students started t the
balls rolling Friday night at the
Inn, with the able assistance of
Ken Scott's Buccaneers. The
dance was informal, but this de
tracted not one whit from the
exclusiveness of the affair. Only
members of the engineering
school were allowed on the floor,
and the humble Tar Heel re
porter was chased out at inter
mission, after having been
granted a provocative glimpse of
the colorful effects. Taking their
cue from the Casa Lopez (and
some thousand other . night
clubs) the engineers had
installed a kaleidscopic mir
ror reflector. A. "spot" with
multi-hued slides ..varied the
shades cast upon the dancers.
It was a money-saving device,
for one could get dizzy without
recourse to alcoholic stimulants.
F. S. Wright and B. H. Goodwin
were the dance managers.
Came Saturday afternoon, and
campus Rudolphs went around
borrowing cars from fraternity
brothers to take the girl friends
out to the Gorgon's Head Lodge
the scene of the Pi Beta Phi
sorority's dance. This was a
"twilight" ' affair, and was
thoroughly enjoyed by the for
tunate invitees. A four-piece
orchestra suppled the music.
Closing and climaxing the
series, the Zeta Beta Taus gave
their installation ball at the Inn
Saturday evening. The Buc
caneers again held sway, and the
ballroom was enhanced by the
addition of gay streamers. The
conventional illuminated badge
of the fraternity and the more
unconventional mirror reflector
increased the brilliancy of the
occasion. As was remarked, in
stallations come but once, and

LAST MINUTES OF
GAME DISASTROUS
TO EARLIER LEAD
Phantoms Fail on Scoring
Chances Bulldogs Sink Long
Ones As Game Ends.
(By L.N. Byrd)
The King is dead !
But 'tis too early to send aloft
shouts of acclaim for the new
monarch, because that new ruler
has yet to achieve his title. The
mighty Tar Heels, three times
monarch of the Southern Con
ference basketball kingdom, at -last
succumbed to the advances
of rebellious subjects, and fell
before the tremendous on
sloughts of the Georgia Bull-"
dogs last night by the score of
25 to 20.
Advancing to the semi-finals
of the Tournament in truly im
pressive fashion, smothering the
best efforts of two of the favor
ites, the Flying Phantoms were
rated the leading contender for
the title they have held so long.
But such was not writ in the
Book of Fate!
Captain Bunn Hackney's co-
horts battled bravely till the
closing minutes, and with only
a few minutes of play left they
held a four point margin.- The
Carolina supporters, from Atlan
ta to the Pickwick, settled back
in their seats with hopeful sighs.
Then came the fateful last five
minutes. The first hundred
years may be the hardest in cer
tain forms of domestic strife,
but the last five minutes proved
the unsurmountable obstacle last
night.

ACTORS ENJOY
SUCCESS ON TRIP
Capacity Houses and Favorable
Reviews Greet Play-makers.
The Playmakers are beginning
their second week of the south
ern tour and as yet have had
no mishap to mar their trip.
Everywhere they have played to
capacity houses and in two cases
have sold standing room. In
Lynchburg the Playmakers play
ed to an audience of over a
thousand people.
One of the most gratifying re
sults of the tour is that in near
ly all of the towns which have
been played, the Playmakers
have been booked for next year.
In all the towns the Playmak
ers have received favorable re
views with Old Wash Lucas by
Paul Green taking first place.
Of the other two plays Trista
by Mrs. Paul Green seems to be
the favorite.
Hubert Heffner in his per
formance of Gaffney in Trista
and as Wash Lucas in Old Wash
Lucas has1 received favorable
comment in all the towns where
the Playmakers have presented
their plays. Others who have
received" special comment for
their acting are Katherine Batts,
Charlie Lipscomb, Jim Hanner,
Josephine Sharkey, George
Koch, Eral Thompson, Dwight
Currie, and Clyde Smith.
The Playmakers are playing
in towns in South Carolina and
Georgia this week and will re
turn here on Sunday, March" 6.
