WOMEN TO BE ON
FACULTY THRU
TRUSTEE RULING
Board Unanimously Votes To
. Permit Women Instructors
In School of Education.
After having been barred
from the University during the
133 years of its existence,
women instructors will make
their appearance in classrooms
here next year, by a unanimous
vote pf the executive committee
of the board of trustees Tuesday,
The announcement of the
board's decision, made in a Ra
. leigh paper yesterday, created
a large amount of comment on
the campus. Many declared it
to represent the lowering of the
last effectual barrier to the
feminine sex at the University.
The resolution passed by the
board reads as follows: "That
in order to facilitate the service
of the School of Education of
the University in advanced 4nd
graduate instruction for elemen
tary school teachers and super
visors, the School of Education
may employ on its faculty wom
en for the purpose of giving such
instruction when necessary."
Heretofore women graduates
of the University have not been
eligible for membership in the
National Association of Univer
sity Women and similar organi
zations, since they require that
the faculty of the institution
from which their members grad
uate include women. The reso
lution is in accordance with the
recommendations of Governor
McLean's . Educational Commis
sion, which provides for the en
larging of the School of Educa
tion so that courses will be given
here which it has previously
been necessary for teachers to
go to Columbia and other North
ern colleges to receive.
Adoption of the building pro
gram approved hy the Budget
Commission and the legislature,
which represents a cut of
$1,100,000 from' the total of
$2,300,000 asked by the trus
tees for buildings during the
next two years, was deferred
because of difference of opinion
as to whether a new dormitory
or a class room building for the
School of Education should be
eliminated from the program.
Josephus Daniels presided
over the meeting in the absence
of Governor McLean. It was
held in the office of the Gov-
' ernor.

TAR HEELS MEET
PENN ON SATURDAY
Leave after -Tomorrow's Battle for
Extended Easter Tour.
Coach Ashmore's Tar Heels
play their second inter-sectional
game of the week "tomorrow af-
terno6n, meeting the University
of Pennsylvania nine on Emer
son Feld.
The Pennsylvanians have been
on an extended southern tour
and should be in fine fettle for
their engagement here. Coach
Ashmore's proteges have been
idle Bince the Elon game a week
ago Monday, save for one clash
with the Durham Bulls. The
leaguers won, but the defeat
served to disclose several rough
spots which Coach Ashmore has
been diligently ironing out.
The line-up will probably be
the same as that which started
yesterday's garner
After tomorrow's battle the
(Continued n pagt four)
errors, poor case running,
and failure to hit in the pinches
cost the Tar Heels their first in
ter-sectional game of the season
yesterday afternoon, Penn State
downing Coach Ashmore's pro
teges on Emerson Field, 3-0
The game had to be postoned in
order to dry up the infield, and
was called at the end of xthe
eighth on account of darkness.
Big Joe Westmoreland's pitch
ing was the feature of the game,
the Tar Heel ace yielding but
seven hits and one walk, and
striking out ten batters. His
teammates accorded him erratic
support, though, in the opening
stanzas, and the visitors chalked
up one run in each of the first
three frames for their margin
of victory.
The Tar Heels had at least
three chances of scoring, but
from all indications they knew
not what it was all about.
The first came in the fourth
inning when Finley, coaching on
third, slowed Mackie down and
then sent him home only to be
caught out by a peg of Heavner's
drive from centerfield.
The next came in the sixth
when with the bases loaded and
two outs. Heavner failed to
come through, hitting to the
Ditcher and "forcing Coxe at
home plate for the final out.
In the seventh after two men
were out, Satterfield and West
moreland walked in a row, and
advanced each a base on a wild
pitch. Finley flew out to right
and the Tar Heels' last hope was
blasted. '
Lungren, Penn state quarter
back and shortstop, hit a sizzling
triple in the third inning for the
longest clout of the day. Sing-
ley also hit a triple. Delp, Penn
right fielder, and Mackie each
lit doubles for the only other ex
tra base hits. Van Atta held
the Tar Heels to six hits and
struck out seven men.
Coach Ashmore injected num-
i i j.i
erous suDstitutes into me iray
in an effort to stir up some kind
of rally, but his efforts were in
vain. Finley, Heavner, Green,
and Satterfield all saw service
in addition to Jessup, who start
ed in left in Finlator's place, and
Barnhart, who started on first
in Young's place. ..
CONVENTION WILL
BRING NOTED MEN
TO UNIVERSITY
This afternoon on Emerson
Field, 2:30, the Tar Heel south
ern championship track teamH
will meet the Virginia, cinder
path men. The Cavaliers are
invading Chapel Hill with one
of their strongest teams in many
years.
Last week when Dartmouth's
powerful track team invaded the
Cavalier's cinder realm the Vir
ginians chalked up five first
places to make the final score
8OI2-4512 in favor of Dart
mouth. The Tar Heels have two
wins to their credit, having nos
ed Duke out with a score of
6312-6212 and piled up a 69-57
score against the V. P. I. cadets.
This will be Carolina's second
conference meet.
The Tar Heels are strongest
in the running events, while
Virginia's strength is divided
between running and field
events. The Tar Heels defeat
ed the Cavaliers two years ago

Chapel Hill Mayor Has Held
Office for Over Twenty Years
Roberson Has Ruled North
for Two Decades;
Decide
(By George Coggins)
Mayor Roberson of Chapel Hill
has held the office of mayor for
over twenty years. The city
elections which will take place
May 3rd will decide whether or
not the czar will relinquish his
crown or will rule over the most
highly intellectual town in the
state where there has been no
political friction since the town
was incorporated. The residents
take very little interest in poli
tics and it is often difficult to
secure the necessary men to fill
the offices. So far no candi
dates have announced them
selves either for Mayor or for
the two Aldermen's seats to be
filled. The City Manager, Mr.
Knox, stated that it was three
years after one election before
he knew that a Republican had
been elected Alderman.
At present there are six City
Aldermen. It has long been the
custom to have at least two Al
dermen from the faculty of the

University. The two faculty
members now serving are R. D
W. Connor of the History de
Dartment. and Dean Braune of
the School of Engineering. The
other members of the board are :
B. S. Williams, M. E. Hogan, C.
L. Wills,, and C. L. Eubanks.
Mayor Roberson seems to have
no special salary attraction at
tached to his office. He receives
three hundred dollars per year.
Besides his political office the
Maor has a monopoly on the
theatre business in Chapel Hill
at present: It is said that he
used his political power and his
shrewd business ability to try
to keep out competition. How
ever, he has lost his fight to Mr.
Sorrell, the jeweler, who is erect
ing a modern theatre building on
the vacant lot adjoining S. Ber
mah's new store. Probably the
slight friction in the Mayor's af
fairs will assure the students at
the University of better moving
picture facilities. Surely it can
not harm matters. . j
