icy of the United States in the
recent Nicaraguan affair is jus
tifiable. On the same night, R.
H. Nooe and 'J. W. Crew, up

gaging in hjs sixth intercollegi
ate debate. He has made every
debate held , this year, and has
been outstanding in all try-outs.

law student, will be engaging in
his first intercollegiate debate,
He has always been active in
forensic activities, however, and
is a member of the Debate Coun
cil.
The triangle last year result
ed in a triumph for Tulane. Car
olina lost both debates, to Ala
bama at Chapel Hill, and to Tu
lane at New Orleans. Tulane de
feated Alabama at Alabama,
thus winning the triangle.
Reporter Gets Story of Local
Bootlegging from Rum Runner
0 .
The Liquor Costs Sixty Cents a Gallon to Make and Sells for Ten
Dollars Made in Eastern Carolina and Stored in
Durham Until Called for.
o
(By Glenn Holder)
Chapel Hill bootleggers are a
highly prosperous group of bus
iness men, according to a person
familiar with these gentry of the
clandestine corn and the siirrep
tious sale. Costing about sixty
cents a gallon to distill, the 'ul
timate consumer oh the campus
must hand over to-his favorite
bootlegger from eight to ten dol
lars before a gallon of the Or
ange County home-brewed or the
Eastern Carolina white . light
ning variety becomes his. '
A Tar Heel reporter obtained
an exclusive interview- with a
member of the Durham Local
of United Bootleggersof Ameri
ca under somewhat unusual cir
cumstances. Last Sunday after
noon the reporter was engaged
jn attempting to persuade pass
ing motorists just - outside of
Greensboro that he would be
vry good company on a ride to
Durham when the aforesaid
member U. B. A. graciously con
sented to give him a lift in a
two-passenger roadster that al
ready had 3 occupants. While
zig-zagging all over the road at
sixty-five miles an hour the boot
legger conversed freely about
the local liquor trade with the
scared scribe, who was more in
terested in getting to Durham
all in one piece than in listen
ing to the drunken driver.
Rum Running Cars
Most of the bootleg for local
consumption is brought into
Durham by. high-powered auto
mobiles, running on regular
schedules from New Bern over
Route Ten. The drivers of these
liquor cars sell their cargoes to
wholesalers in the Bull City, re
ceiving an average of $2.50 a
gallon for the whiskey. It is stor
ed in warehouses until an order
is received from the Chapel Hill
bootleggers, when it is brought
here in trucks or cars at night
The local retailer pays from
four to six dollars for it. Some
of the booze for local consump
tion is brought from Orange
County distilleries, of course,

monogram men and non-.

pletely destroyed by the ad
vent of the twenty-odd
inches of snow that de"
scended upon Chapel Hill
yesterday. Emerson field

of melting in three days

in this section are mighty
slim.
VANDERBILT WINS
Vanderbilt is the new South
ern conference basketball cham
. pions as : a result : of their 46
to 45 win over the University
of Georgia Tuesday night at
Atlanta. Georgia, the conquer
ers of the Tar Heels, in the
semi-finals Monday night, en
joyed a safe lead at the end of
the first half 23 to 17, but the
Commodores came up from be
hind, tied the score with a few
minutes to play and finally
nosed out . the Georgians' for
the first championship that has .
ever come to the Commodorei.
No . newspapers had reached
Chapel Hill by last night and
the exact particulars of the
game are not known.
CHAPPELLISSUES WARNING FOR '
GAMBLING, DRINKING, NOISY MEN
'';,,..-, ; o
After Speaking About Expelling Several Offenders the Student
Body President Says, "This Is Not a Case of 'Chappell Issues
Warning"' As the .Tar Heel Headlines Say.
. o '.
There is a growing tendency
among the students here toward
poker playing, giving of bad
checks, unnecessary noise in the
dormitories, and violations . of
the regulations of the Univer
sity and the laws of the country
in regard to liquor drinking, Sid
Chappell, president of the stu
dent body,1 declared in Chapel
Tuesday morning. "This is not
a case of 'Chappell Issues Warn
ing as the Tar Heel would have
you believe, but a statement of
facts," he said. 4V
Several men have been caught
gambling and a large amount of
drinking has been observed here
in the past few days, according
to President Chappell. "Several
men will probably leave the Uni
versity this week by invitation
of the Student Council," he
stated.
Unless drinking, gambling,
continued giving of bad checks,
and disorderly conduct in the
dormitories ceases, a good many
more men will receive an invi
tation from the Council to take
up their abode elsewhere. The
University is a training camp
for good citizenship, and should
be regarded as such by the stu
dents. ,
Don't Squeal
"I don't want the students to
tell me or another member of
the Council everytime they see
a case of violation of the honor
system," Mr. Chappell declared,
"Tne man who speaks to.a stu
dent and warns him whenever he
sees him committing a violation
is a brave man while the one
who informs the Student Coun
cil and requests that his name be
with-held is a coward."
PHI TALKS ABOUT
A CONTRACEPTIVE
LEGISLATIVE BELL
Hiatus Between Marriage Appli
cation and Issuing of License
Bill is Defeated.
The discussion of the Phi As
sembly Tuesday night took a so
cial turn and was featured by
a resolution approving the re
cent bill introduced in the Legis
lature providing that any person
selling and possessing a contra
ceptive be found guilty of a
crime punishable by fine and
imprisonment. .The. . interest
shown in this question warrant
ed its tabling until the. next
meeting.
No proponents of this bill
have thus far presented them
selves. Messrs' Kelley and Whit
ley figured principally in the op
position and denounced the big
oted reference in the State Leg
islature to contraceptives as
"deadly weapons." They could
see much harm with little ser
vice to humanity in the prohibi
tion of their sale. Illegitimacy
and venereal diseases would
mount at an alarming rate. It
was pointed out that any crim
inal tendencies that may present
themselves in the promiscuous
sale of contraceptives would be
overbalanced by their real util
ity. The discussion closed at
this point due to lack of time and
will be resumed at the next ses
sion of the Assembly.
The vote of the members de
feated the other resolution fav
oring the bill introduced in the
Legislature which required an

DI PIGEON-HOLES
AN AMENDMENT TO
ADMIT THE COEDS
Eatherine Johnson and Ellen
Melick Who Wanted to Join .
Are Now Indifferent.''
In its regular weekly meeting
Tuesday night, .the Di Senate
pigeon-holed the amendment to
admit co-eds, and then went on
to approve the foreign policy of
the United States in Nicaragua.
It was announced that the next
meeting will be an executive ses
sion for the purpose of electing
the officers for the spring quar
ter. The president for the spring
quarter, Byron Glenn, has al
ready been elected, but all other
officers will be elected at this
time.
Taylor Wants Co-eds
The entire first part of the dis
cussion of the amendment f ram
cission of the amendment fram
ed by the Constitution Commit
tee which was designed to per
mit the admission of co-eds to
membership. Due to the phras
ing of the constitution, which
only allows the changing of that
section which applies to mem
bership by a unanimous vote of
two-third3 of the total member
ship of the senate, a special
amendment had been prepared
by the Constitution Committee.
This was to the effect that "ev
ery bona-fide member of the
University is eligible for mem
bership." The amendment was
ably supported by Taylor Bled
soe, well-known defender of
women's rights, and by Senator
Gilreath. Both these men point-

Motor Traffic; Weather Delays

MANY HOPS HERE
DURING WEEK-END
DESPITE THESNOW
But Are the Snowbound Girls
Able to Reach the University?
Worries the Dancers.
In spite of Lent and prevailing
snow-storms and impending ex
ams, the social program for the
coming week-end does not indi
cate considerable denial of danc
ing opportunities, for, with two
fraternity dances . tomorrow
night and a Grail shag scheduled
for Saturday evening the local
votaries of Terpsichore will be
amply entertained. ... ;
; Friday evening, the- Carolina
Inn ballroom will be the scene
of a dance to be given by the lo
cal chapter of Alpha, Lambda
Tau. At the same time the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity
is to be dance host at the Wash
ington Duke Hotel, in Durham.
These two hops for campus pa
tronage tomorrow night should
allow gratification for all who
crave tripping the light fantas
tic. Many girls have been in
vited to the festivities and, in
most cases, more than a snow of
unprecedented magnitude will
be necessary to limit the attendance.
The Order of the Grail will
conclude its , winter dance pro
gram with the .third dance of the
quarter Saturday night in"By-
num Gymnasium. The policy
inaugurated with such popular
ity at the. last dance will again
prevail and it is expected that
the solo dances, entertainment
features, and decorations will a
gain score a hit with the
dancers. 1
But, with motor traffic and
the mails at a standstill, the
momentous question is : will the
flappers be able to get here?

Western Title Clash Delayed by
Failure of Leaksville Team
To Get Here.
The scheduled game between
Leaksville and Asheville for the
High School Western basketball
championship was postponed at
the Tin Can last night when
Leaksville failed to show up. A
message was received yesterday
evening from "Moose" Tenney,
Leaksville High Coach, stating
that on account of the snow
storm he and his boys were
halted and would be unable to
reach Chapel Hill in time for the
clash.
Part of the Leaksville squad
managed to get as far as Dur
ham, but they could get no far
ther. Another carload was
marooned "somewhere" in the
two-foot blanket between Dur
ham and Leaksville.
The Asheville squad, fifteen
strong, including Coach Pierce
Matthews, 1924 Carolina foot
ball captain, arrived at Chapel
Hill early Tuesday afternoon in
order to witness the game be
tween Durham and Jamestown
for the eastern championship.
Coach Matthews and his squad

Empty class rooms, snowy
blankets, and warm white sheets
were the order of the morning
yesterday when the weather
suddenly changed and the cold
descended unmercifully upon
youthful spring. The leisurely
joy of students, as well as multi
colored blooms were nipped in
the bud.
The snow according to several
Tar Heel judges is 16 inches
deep with three foot drifts in
many places. .According to oth
er judges (mostly students)
the snow was piled so high a
gainst dormitory doors that it
was impossible to open them be
fore 12 o'clock.
Only a few scurrying figures
made their way to the halls of
learning. Among those few
several tales of bravery have
been told. One professor who
lived two miles away said that
he plowed-a trail for a mile,
and dragged his weary soul the
rest of the way only to face two
or three students at class. An
other story pictures the sad
plight of a boarding house wait
er who jumped out of bed early
to help serve hungry students
with steaming food, but who
was so exhausted that he fainted
under the strain.
No Mails
Due to snow drifts no horse
less vehicles have been able to
move about. This resulted in
milkless breakfasts, no mail de
livery, and delay in general. Sev
eral cars parked on the curbs
and one car in the middle of
Franklin street were snow bound
and deserted.
Besides the usual number of
students who stay in, or man
euver excuses through the in
firmary on the least .provoca
tion, a large number of that dis
tinct species of dynamic anama
lia, self-enunciated as Tar Heel
reporters were far astray and
hopelessly immune from their
regular duties, when the time
came for grinding out the "cam
pus organ."
Late yesterday afternoon the
city management had started
work on removing snow from
the streets. Shovels and scrap
ers were busy. Besides these
workers "many citizens shoveled
