HUNDREDS OF FOLKS HERE
Awards Presented to Winners in
j High School Contests by
Secretary House. .
The annual North Carolina
High School Week came to a
successful conclusion on Friday
night before Easter. An un
usually large number of schools
took part in both the literary
and athletic activities this year
and keen rivalry and clean
sportsmanship was in evidence
here throughout the . contests.
The campus assumed . a lively
and colorful air as the high
school folks began arriving on
Thursday for the big time. Two
hundred and sixty-eight de
baters from 67 schools entered
the finals of the debate, and ap
proximately 15 schools took
part in the athletic events.
Greens"boro High, represented
by Harry Gump and .Henry
Biggs, won a five to nothing de
cision over the , Wilson High
School for' the ' Aycock Memorial
debate cup, in Memorial Hall
Friday night, April 15. This
was the sixteenth annual high
school state-wide debate, and
marks the first championship
for Greensboro.
Greensboro debated the affir
mative side of the query, Re
solved, that congress should en
act the Curtis-Reed bill provid
ing for a federal department of
education.
The followers of the high
school debate missed Miss Ware
from Wilson for Ihe first time in
four years. For three years
Miss Ware came to Chapel Hill,
always placing in the finals, and
helped to carry the cup home
two out of three years. Wilson

Lend Festive Air to
Easter Season.
Ihe Carolina Easter . dances
were the most enjoyable and suc
cessful ever given on the Univer
sity campus. Just a right num
ber of attractive girls, Weid
meyer's orchestra, and elaborate
decorations were features of the
holiday revelry held in Bynum
gymnasium. .
The curtain was raised Thurs
day afternoon at four o'clock
when the Minotaurs gave -a
dance in honor of the Sheiks.
This hop was followed by the
Junior Prom Thursday night,
the Sophomore Hop Friday
morning, and the Junior order
dance Friday afternoon, which
was given by the Gimghouls in

Group Selected for European
Trip to Present Concert
Saturday Night.
University students and other
patrons of the Glee Club will
have the opoprtunity of hearing
the group selected to make the
trip to Europe give a concert
Saturday night, April 30, at the
Playmakers' , Theatre. Paul J
Weaver and other officials of the
Glee Club stated last week h&t
a great deal of practise had
been put into the program, and
that it would undoubtedly be one
of the most artistic and enter
taining of any of the produc
tions heretofore presented.
Those fortunate aspirants who
have been deemed talented e-
nough to make the coveted tour
of England and France next
summer are already busying
themselves with preparations
for the trip, while talk of Paris
and "Ole Lunnon" is fairly rife
when they gather to anticipate
the charms of the Old World
Contracts have been issued and
quite a bit of the advance fees
are now in the hands of Glee
Club officials.
COURT TOURNEY
BEGINS THURSDAY
North Carolina Netmen to Have Three
Day Battle Here.
The tennis tournament for
North Carolina colleges will
start on the varsity courts
Thursday at 2 o'clock, and play
will continue through Saturday
Rogers of Duke is favored to
win the singles title, while the
doubles will probably go to the
team of McCutcheon and Carr
of Davidson, as these players
won the tournament last year
and it is not to be expected that
any strong opposition not al
ready encountered by them will
appear. Carolina, while having
a powerful group of players in
team play, lacks the individual
brilliance to make a good show
ing in the tournament.
All instructors are asked to
have mid-term reports in the
Registrar's-office by Monday,
May 2.
"By the end of this year you
will have learned whether there
is a harmonious relation be
tween you and the Carolina cam
pusclass rooms and labora
tories as well as other things-
or npt," President Chase said to
the freshmen in chapel yesterday
morning. "You will know
whether you like it and it likes
you."
. The first year in college is a
period of adjustment, according
to the President, and many stu
dents in the present Freshman
class will drop out. There are
three reasons why most of the
men will drop out: failure to
pass enough work to remain
here, financial reasons, and be
cause they think that they have
not gotten as much out of the
year as they should have. Pres
ident Chase stated that the Uni
versity regulations in regard to
passing of work were very
strictly adhered to, and that if
a student has not passed the re
quired number of subjects at the
end of the year that only in the

on the staff.
HAMPDEN-SIDNEY
HERE TOMORROW
Young and Finlator Back in Uni
v form; Ellison May Pitch
for Carolina.
Hampden-Sidney's baseball
nine will invade Carolina terri-
tqry Wednesday afternoon for
an engagement with Coach Ash
more's proteges. The game will
be called at four o'clock with
"Red" Ellison likely to" start on
the mound for Carolina.
Little is known of the strength
of the Virginia team, but Coach
Ashmore was taking no chances
yesterday and continued to keep
the squad hard at practice for
tomorrow's tilt.
The Carolina mentor has been
shifting his lineup slightly dur
ing the Easter trip, and students
may see a slightly different team
take the field. Tom Young and
Buck Finlator are back at their
old posts on first base and in
left field respectively and have
been supplying quite a batting
punch to the team:
Havener has been alternating
on third base with "Bear" Webb
and Satterfield on short with
Jonas, and either or both may
start tomorrow. ,
The remainder of the lineup
will probably remain intact.

Last Ten Days.
The date of the annual South.
em Conference at Blue Ridge
this year has been set for June

on the 26. The Conference cor
responds ona smaller scale to
the Humans Relations Institute
recently held at the University
Several noted lecturers will be

subject of Religion.
Last year brought forth the
smallest representation that the
University has had in seven
seasons. H. F. Comer, General
Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.,
urges that all members of the
" Y" - Cabinets attend the con
vention in June. North Carolina
for the last five years has led all
other delegations both in attend
ance and in the number of points
scored in the various contests.
The attendance for these years
has averaged from 12 to 51. The
total cast of , the conference in
cluding railroad fare and hotel
expenses, will amount to approx
imately forty-five dollars.
The Conference is planning to
accommodate" from 500 to 700
delegates, and the current re
port is that this year will see
the most successful convention
in the history of Blue Ridge.
"Make your facts vivid, shake
the court into seeing the facts in
I your favor. Be specific and ob
jective," said Charles W. Tillett,
in speaking to the students of
the North Carolina law school,
yesterday morning at 10:30.
Mr. Tillett is a member of the
Charlotte bar, and is widely
known as a result of his success
ful cases of appeal before the
North Carolina Supreme court
and before the Supreme Court of
the United States.
"Preparation and Argument
of Case on Appeal," was the
subject of the informal talk by
the Charlotte barrister. He
stressed the importance of using
persuasion in pursuing a case,
and said that there were four
elements of persuasion, justice
in your favor, legal argument,
facts in your favor, and being
concrete. "Be persuasive rather
than argumentative. Debate is
combative; a boxing match. Use
persuasion, no begging, this is
the best policy," he concluded.

Wind Lectures Tonight
Philosophy Professor to Give Illus
trated Lecture at 8:30.
Coach Ashmore's Tar Heels
returned to the Hill Sunday from
their Easter tour with a string
of victories behind them which
was unbroken save for one loss
to Duke, which put Carolina in
second place in the race for the
state baseball championship.
The Tar Heels and Duke's
Blue Devils have each lost one
encounter, but the Methodists
have won five games to the Tar
Heels' four, and so hold the lead.
Hard Hitters
Davidson, Wake Forest, Duke,
and Virginia all bowed before
the mighty bludgeons of the Tar
Heels, which extracted in all 56
hits for the five game trip, an
average of a little over eleven
base raps to the game. Eleven
hits to the game is a nice pres
ent for. a team to hand its pitch
er and more than a comfortable
margin on which to win. Coach
Ashmore's proteges have learned
to "sock the apple to the tall
timbers" and behind the steady
hurling of Westmoreland and El
lison, with Whisnant held in re
serveseem destined to give
members of the "Big Five"
something to worry about. 1
Westmoreland was credited
with three of the victories for
a perfect record, while Ellison
got an even break with one win
and one loss. "Red" Whisnant
saw service 'in a couple of the,
games as relief hurler and came
through in fine style.

start Monday when Westmore-
