Managership Elections
The Southern Conference ten
nis tournament will start here
tomorrow - morning at nine
o'clock. While only about seven
teams entered in the tourna
ment, the players participating
represent some of the best ten
nis talent in the South. Slade
of Florida, who won the tourna-
ment last year is one of the
most potent players entered, al
though he will undoubtedly en
counter some very serious op-
nosition from the players of
Georgia and Georgia Tech.
Berry Grant, the Tech star,
is one of the ranking players in
the South while either Courts or
Boland of Georgia may hit a
super streak and upset the dope.
In fact, Slade will encounter
quite a bit of opposition from his
A-ltrtA Kuiniiaa Ttl rr a Vina
other men entered who has been
pushing Slade to the limit all
year.
Carolina has practically no
chance at all to even enter the
semi-finals, due to their lack of
individual -stars, although they
present a very puissant team in
match play as was evinced on
their recent Northern trip when
they won all of their matches
without serious difficulty. How
ever, any 'of the first three rank
ing men might spring a surprise
and go far, and Charlie Waddell
especially may do well. His ex
perience on the Varsity so far
this spring has stood him in good
stead, and he has improved
greatly in the short time that he
has been representing Carolina.
The tournament which was
held here two years ago saw
some very hectic struggles, when
Berry Grant, a Sophomore then,
came to the finals after some
very hard struggles against the
veterans of other colleges only
to be defeated in the finals by
Murray of Tulane who now is
one of the best players in the
South. Malon Courts, who used
to be one of the leading' juniors
in this part of the country un
til he passed above the group
due to age, is also capable of
good tennis.
The elections for sub-assistant
managers of all varsity sports except
football were held yesterday with the
following result:
Basketball: A. T. Allen, li. Bur-
tis Aycock, "Red" Green, Loy D,
Ihompson; Albert Whisnant. and

IMPEACHMENT OF

TAKEN UP BY DI
Charges Preferred by Taylor
Bledsoe and Lee Kennett as
Result of Recent Article in
Tar Heel.
The Carolina track team is on
its way to enter the annual
southern Conference meet at
Baton Rouge, La., Friday and
Saturday. The Tar Heels will
make a bid for their second con
secutive Southern Championship
although considerably handicap
ped. The team left here yester
day afternoon at 4 o'clock and
will arrive in Baton Rouge
early Friday morning only a few
hours before the preliminaries
begin. '
In dual meets the Carolina
cinder path men would undoubt
edly defeat every team in the
conference, but in this meet they
will have to cope with the stars
of the other teams. Other seri
ous handicaps are the long dis
tance, the change in climate and
the fact that Coach Bob Fetzer
was unable to enter but eight of
his best men in the meet.
The question is whether Caro
lina's main strength, which lies
in the distance events with El
liott, Pritchett, and Rhinehart,
will be seriously affected by the
climatic conditions.
The men entering the meet
i y-1 "irTVI
are : uaptain uus mcrnerson
in the 100 and 220-yard dashes ;
Elliott, 880-yard dash and mile
run; Pritchett, two-mile run;
Rhinehart, 440 and 880-yard
dashes; Pearson, 120 high hurd
les and the 220 low hurdles;
Giersch, broad jump and 220 low
hurdles; Sandlin, 220 low hurd
les, the javelin, and the broad
jump; and Harper, discus and
javelin.
The other schools that will
probably enter teams in the
meet are: Louisiana State Uni
versity, Mississippi University,
Mississippi A. and M., Tulane,
Georgia, Georgia Tech, Auburn,
Sewanee, Clemson, and Ala

After the election of officers,
the remainder of the meeting

the rifle meet to which the club
is sending a team Thursday.
Yesterday afternoon on Emer
son field the Oak Ridge baseball
team hammered the offering of
three Tar Baby hurlers to gather
in the large end of a 9 to 6 score.
While the cadet moundsman
allowed the Tar Heels only six
scattered hits the visitors were
collecting nine blows off the trio
that faced them. However five
of these were gained off Bullard
in the first three innings. Cap
tain Maus of the Carolinians
lead the hitting of the day with
two bingles and a triple out of
as many trips to the plate. His
teammate, Jackson, had three
bingles to his credit out of four
attempts. Pearce led for the
Oak Ridgers with a triple and a
single out of four tries. Bunch
to Wall and Wright to Wall com
pleted a pair of double plays.
White to Durham did the same
for the visitors.
The cadets got off to an early
lead in the first two frames
when they leaned against Bull
ard for four hits and five runs.
This lead was maintained thru-
out the remainder of the game.
The Tar Babies staged some
what of a rally in the eighth and
managed to account for two
runs but the Oak Ridge boys
added one of their own account
in the ninth while White held
the Carolinians scoreless..

COLLEGIANS TOO
LISTLESS, SAYS

Clash Friday In Annual Series
Captain Hatley
"Often the four years of col
lege are looked upon as a happy
period between high school and
work," Dr. E. D. Soper, Dean of
the School of Religion of Duke
University, declared in Chapel
yesterday morning. "Most col
lege men are happy, as they
should be, but what I blame
them for is a kind of listlessness
that characterizes them. In the
midst of all the things that a
person like it is possible to take
life seriously."
Dr. Soper 's subject was "Se
lecting a Life Work." It was
the third of. a series of talks on
that subject that is being de
livered in Chapel this week. The
series win De concluded tomor
row with an address by Robert
House, Executive Secretary of
the University.
There are two questions that
every student has to face when
he comes face to face with grad
uation, according to Dr. Soper,
They are "What shall I do when
I receive my diploma?", and
"What shall I do for a life
work?" These two questions
resolve themselves into one for
the man who is going into a
profession. , ,
"Most of us arrive at im
portant decisions without; realiz
ing it. It is not so much a ques
tion of when a man decides, as
of how he decides," Dr. Soper
said. "In many cases, as of the
man who is going into a pro
fession, the question is already
decided. , But you would be ut-

Carroll Gives Birth To Another
Brain Child -Dinamite Senate
Campus's Four Hundred and Fourth (or Is It Fifth?) Organiza
tion to Combine in One Group the Best Features of the
Other 403 (404?); Nineteen Men Are Wearing
the Pink and Blue of the Dinamite Senate.
o :
(By the Beachcomber)
Today marks an outstanding
date in the life of the South's
Greatest University. A new or
ganization has been formed and
is making its initial bow to the
campus. This' organization is
the Dinamite Senate an as
semblage of earnest future citi
zens who are seeking better
things. It proposes to stand for
free speech, free thought, -free
press, free air and, eloquence.
As Dave Carroll,, founder and
Ruling Janus of the Senate re
marked to this admiring report
er, "we believe in freedom."'
Although the society has been
definitely formed only a few
days, plans for its formation
have been avidly discussed for
months. Dave Carroll, who has
a perfect gift for realizing the
futility of things, long ago dis
covered that most Carolina or
ganizations were superfluous
and damnable. He believed that
the situation could be remedied
by the establishment of a single
organization embodying the best
qualities of those already here
and carrying out functions in
which the others lamentably
failed. He broached the matter
to a group, of friends who re
ceived it favorably and advocat
ed action. After consultations
with Dr. Bagby, Francis Brad
shaw and the Dean of Women
they drew up their ultimate
plans.
Mr. Carroll was mainly famil
iar with the Di Senate and the
Golden Fleece, and found fault
with the workings of both. The
Di wasn't serious enough, while
the Fleece wasn't funny enough.
Moreover, they didn't have suf
ficiently definite aims. So he
and his cohorts determined that
their group should be seriously
funny and have aims even more
definite than those of the Rifle
Club. He mentioned to this re
porter some sections from
their all-embracing platform :
shorter hours for professors,
the sanctity of the home, non
paddling initiations, more in
structive Picks, the Stars and
Stripes forever, fewer speeches
on Nicaragua, cerebral suprem
acy and the protection of the co
eds on the campus.
The Dinamite Senate has se
lected for its colors charming
pastel shades of pink and blue.
They are supposed to typify the
organization's predilection for
sweetness and light. There will
be no fees, dues or assessments
for the unfortunate University
authorities to collect. So far the
Ruling Janus is the only official
selected, but more -will soon be
chosen ; Mr. Carroll thinks it
would be nice if every man in
the crowd had an office of some
sort. The original membership
is small. However, worthy men
will be noted and taken in at

STATE MEET FOR
FROSH SATURDAY
Tar Babies Doped to Win Cham
pionship Track Event for
Freshman Teams
With the Virginia - Carolina
classic in Greensboro and the
Southern Conference track meet
in Baton Rouge, it is to be ex
pected that not many students
will remain on the hill for the
week-end. However, those who
do will be supplied with ample
entertainment as the state track
meet for Freshman teams is to
be held Saturday, May 14, on
Emerson Field.
The Carolina coaches have in
vited all the colleges in the state
to enter teams but as the en
trance sheets are not due until
Thursday it is not yet known
what schools will accept. Invi
tations have been issued to the
members of the big five and lit
tle five. It is expected that Duke,
State, Wake Forest, Davidson,
Elon and Guilford will enter.
Catawba, Atlantic Christian Col
ege and High Point College have
also been asked but it is doubt
ful whether or not they will ac
cept.
The Tar Babies have a good
chance of capturing this meet
but stiff opposition is to be ex
pected from Duke and State. It
is also highly probable that
some "dark horse" may be pro
duced by some of the other
schools and take places that were
practically conceded to some
other team.
Second Game of Historic Series
To Be Played Tomorrow Fol
lowed by Game in Greensboro
Saturday; Carolina Took First
Game of This Year's Series.
DAVIDSON WINS IN
FRESHMAN DEBATE
Blankenship and Cohen Lose on Ques
tion of War Debts.
Davidson won a 3 to 0 over
Carolina in Gerrard Hall Tues
day night in the annual fresh
man inter-collegiate debate. The
queryi "Resolved: That the
United States should cancel all
inter-allied war debts, was up
held by M. J. Blankenship and
J. J. Cohen of Carolina on the
affirmative, and R. M. Christian
and A. T. Edelman from David
son on the negative.
A diamond rivalry of thirty
five years standing will be re
vived Friday afternoon when
Virginia and Carolina clash on
Emerson Field here in the sec
ond of the annual three-game
series between the two teams.
The third game, the annual
Greensboro classic, will follow
on Saturday in the new Mem
orial Stadium.
Coach Ashmore's Tar Heels
jumped into the lead in the se
ries this year when they defeat
ed the Cavaliers, 10-7, in Char
lottesville in a game that went
ten innings. That means that
they will have to take but one
of the two remaining battles to
win the series, and with Ellison
and Westmoreland both in tip
top shape, Carolina hopes are
running high.
"Red" will probably get the
call here Friday with "Lefty"
to work the Greensboro game.
3oach Ashmore has been keeping
his men hard at it all week in
preparation for the two big bat
tles, and it is likely that the Tar
Heel team which takes the field
here Friday will show a decided
improvement over the team that
lost two games to Tech last
week.
Meanwhile, the student body
is laying big plans for the an
nual pilgrimage to Greensboro
Saturday to attend the big game;
Kike Kyser's Cheerios have been
called back into service and will
be in all their glory, flanked on
both sides by delegations of
smiling co-eds from N. C. C. W.
and Greensboro College, all
"hollerin' for ole Car'Iina."
Tar Heel cheerleaders have
been in Greensboro practically
all week teaching the girls the
special Carolina yells and songs,
and the cheerleaders of the three
institutions will all work togeth
er Saturday, all with the same ,
purpose "Down with Virginia."
In addition the University band
will be "there in full force to
liven up the occasion with its
lilting tunes.
The game itself, the oldest
sports classic in southern inter
collegiate athletics, has always
been marked for its color, but
the 1927 clash bids fair to set
new marks.
On to Greensboro ! Down with
Virginia !
