NUMBER 72
Record-Breaking Crowds Expect
ed to Attend An
nual Hops.
DUES MUST BE IN SOON
Club Has Only Fifty Vacancies
to Be Filled Before
Holidays.
A record-breaking crowd is
expected to attend Carolina
Easter dances. Reports have
reached German Club officials
that a veritable swarm of boys
and girls will turn Hillward for
the spring revelry. Weidemey
er's famous orchestra will be the
source of irresistible attraction
for North Carolina's social set,
and elaborate decorations will
supplement the charm woven by
the jazz kings.
The executive committee of
the German Club met Tuesday
night and laid plans for one of
the most brilliant and enjoyable
sets of dances ever to be given
on the campus. It was decided
that there would he five dances,
including the Junior Prom, Soph
omore Hop, a junior order dance,
and a sophomore order dance.
The initial "work-out" will be
held Thursday afternoon from
four-thirty to. six-thirty. This
hopwill be followed by a series
of dances which will take place
Thursday evening from nine till
one, Friday morning from eleven
to one, Friday afternoon from
four-thirty to "seven, and Friday
evening from nine until one.
This, concludes the dances
given by the German, Club," but
the Phi Kappa Sigmas have de
cided to add more punch to the
party by giving a tea dance in
their home, Saturday, afternoon
from four-thirty to six-thirty.
The executive committee has
ruled that no additional dances
will be permitted on the hill Sat
urday, but the merriment will
be prolonged that night by a
script dance in Durham, at the
Washington Duke Hotel, with
Weidemeyer furnishing the
music.
There will probably be a meet
ing of the German Club before
Easter. Professor W. S. Bern

repeated that triumph last ;tear

This year, however, Coach Bob
Fetzer has lost many of his Tar
Heel track and field stars, and
the Cavaliers are coming in
search of revenge. Pop Lanni

a fast crew of runners and a

heavyweight crown.
Warren and Shuford are un

suffered only one defeat in four
years. Out of eight fights won

PROMETHEUS DISCOVERS NUMEROUS
CAMPUS ELECTION THAUMATURGISTS
- - o
Bull and Andy Have Unanticipated Opposition from Dula and
Carroll 1554 Politicians Harass Single Voter Speculation
Rife Concerning Moon Mulling Face Reference.
o
(By Prometheus)
The campus has been thrown
into a state of thaumaturgy as
a result of the recent campus
elections. Many cherished fond
hopes until the final counts were
made and then the defeated ones
forced a pathetic smile over hag
gard and drawn faces and slowly
dragged their weary f eetto some
nearby boarding house.
Andy and Bull Run Close Race
A feature of the election was
the brazen attempt on the part
of some men to rail-road two
campus characters into appro
priate offices. When the ballots
were counted, it was found that
Bull Gardner's name had been
penciled out on a number of tick
ets and the name of R. L. Dula
substituted. It was also found
on several ballots that Andy An
derson's name had been smitten
from the list and the name of
Dave Carroll substituted.
There is a faint rumor current
that Mr. Carroll went into ca
hoots with some other famous
politician and, under the cover
of Carroll's Ivory Soap complex
ion and cherub wings, attempted
to wrest the editorships of the
two leading campus publications
from the hands of the worthy
Messrs. Anderson and Gardner.
It is evident that the campus
does not wish clean politics.
Wild Search for Voter
During Wednesday's election
there were 1,554 - politicians
working frantically for worthy
men, and as a result of the elec
tions, the campus regrets the
loss of so many esteemed gentle
men who by their past records
and f utuie accomplishments lost
offices. It is evident that there
was crookedness somewhere, an
Ethiopian in the cordage, we
might say, for if there was hot,
then the election returns would
have been very much different.
That there should be so much
underhandedness going on un
der our very noses is very de
plorable. . But toward closing time Wed
nesday, there came forth a
rumor that there was a voter at
large on the campus. The 1,554
politickers immediately became
frantic and Moulten Avery in
the heighth of excitement, rush
ed off in all directions in an at
tempt to find and enlighten the
lone wanderer.
Search Made for Carroll's Man
Dave Carroll stated in one of
his' recent Driftwood Fire col
umns that one of the racers for
office was afflicted with a face
resembling Moon Mullins. - The

Casting a vote of approxi
mately 1,330 votes, the campus
emerged yesterday afternoon
from one of the most hectic pol
itical battles held on the campus
in recent years. Plunging
through mud and rain, political
supporters rushed man after
man to the polls. Cars were
brought into service and all af
ternoon a steady file of automo
biles halted in front of the Y.
M. C. A. and Memorial Hall
where the polls were moved on
account of the rain.
Nash Johnston, candidate for
the president of the Y. M. C.
A. polled a vote of 779 over
Galen Elliott's 547 ; and Jud Ash
by led Holt McPherson for the
editorship of the. Tar Heel by
191 votes.
The votes cast in the election
last Wednesday for the Publica
tion Union Board had to be
thrown out due to a misunder
standing on the part of the stu
dents in the method of voting
and ninety votes were cast out
in yesterday's election count, due'
probably to the same reason. The
P. U. count-last night gave Bill'
Perry the presidency with a
total of 581 votes. Mutt Evans
came second with 512 and John
Marshall third with 477 votes.
