Yackety Yack Is One of the Best Ever Issued, Says Prometheus. ART WORK BY STUDENTS Mistakes in Printing Cause De lay in Receiving Shipment of Annuals; Cuts Are Perhaps Most Pleasing Feature. Dick Freeman to Be Varsity Manager and Dave Young Freshman Manager. Hoyt Pritchett, Tar Heel two-miler and a rising senior from Greensboro, was elected captain of next year's track team at a banquet held at the Tar Heel Club Tuesday evening. Pritchett has just concluded his sec ond season on the Carolina cinder squad, and in his two years of com petition has forged his way to the peak of the two-mile rank. He estab lished a new University record for the two-mile, formerly held by Johnny Purser of Charlotte, when he won this event in 9 min. 48 sec. in the dual meet with Virginia. Pritchett also set a new record of 9 min. 67 sec. in the State Conference meet, which was held at Greensboro. To top the sea son he won the two-mile, setting a new record of 9 min. 57 sec., in the South ern Intercollegiate Conference meet held this year at Baton Rouge, La. In addition to this excellent track work, Pritchett was a member of the Crass Country, Team that took the Southern title at Athens, Georgia, last fall. Twice he has run the mile on the University's four mile relay that won this event in the annual Georgia Tech Relay Carnival. Pritchett is the vice-president of the rising Senior class. , , ; , The managers for the Varsity and Freshman track teams were also elect ,ed at the banquet. Dick Freeman of Fremont was elected the manager of next year's Varsity track Bquad. Charlie Burns of Wadesboro, and F red Johnson of Raleigh will be the assis tant track managers. Dave Young, of Raleigh was elected manager of the Freshman track team. , (By Prometheus) Due to unavoidable mistakes in printing, the Yackety Yack did not appear on the campus yesterday and today. Information was given out during the first part of the week that the year books would be given out at the Yackety Yack office Friday and to day and many disappointed men have so beseiged the editor with dire threats of malice that he has taken refuge in a far city. However, he will be on hand when the annuals appear Monday. The printers have expressed their deep regret in regards to the misprints and promise to have the year books in corrected form on the Hill by Monday. The reviewer was fortunate enough to receive a review copy and from this he has gleaned the material for this article. Probably the most striking and pleasing feature of the Yackety Yack is the cuts. The engraving has been done well and the color scheme throughout the book is harmonious. All the art work has been done by men on the campus and they are to be congratulated on the excellence of their work. Last year, if we remem ber correctly, the art work, or most of it, was done by professionals, but this year's art staff has done a much better job. The cuts do not look like so many drawings purchased over a counter. Truly the most commend able part of the annual is the,cuts and color, work. The sepia tone has added much to the senior book. The photographs and cuts show up a great deal plainer. than did those of last year. The cover is (Continued on page four) Westmoreland to Captain Baseball Nine Next Season Joe Westmoreland, of Canton, j N. C, premier southpaw hurler for the Carolina Varsity was . elected Thursday night as cap- tain for the 1928 season. At the same time Rufus Little of Greensboro received the manager-V ship for the next year. "Big Joe's" election came as a fitting climax to a most success ful season, having practically pitched the Tar Heels into the state championship by winning six out of eight of his state games. - Westmoreland's most out standing day was in the Davidson game when he hurled beautiful ball to gain the honor all pitch ers aspire to a no-hit game. Last year was Lefty's first sea son on the Varsity, but his work . was ' not noticeable then as he was troubled by an old injury to his fingers. GRANT TENDERS HIS RESIGNATION Due to the fact that Carollina Finals conflict with the opening of summer school, there has been some difficullty in completing the plans for the spring hops. However, with the cooperation of President Chase, C. T. Woollen, and Dean Walker, the dances may be carried out as originally plan ned. This concession is made on one condition, which must be strictly ob served. . It is that all dormitory rooms must be released by six o'clock, Mon day evening, June the sixth, so that the University may have time to pre pare these rooms for summer school use. It is absolutely necessary that this ruling be ' adhered . to, for any personal belongings found in the dor mitories after the allotted time will have to be moved out into the halls. The Executive Committee of the German Club met Tuesday night, and put the finishing touches on their preparations for what is expected to be one of the best sets of dances ever held on the campus. The most impor tant decision was the the hops will be held in Bynum Gymnasium instead of in Swain Hall, because of the con flict with the opening of summer school. The sponsors for the differ ent dances were determined upon, and the whole course was mapped out. .Expect Crowd .. ...,.. ,, A large crowd of girls, alumni, and students is expected to attend, and elaborate entertainment is in stpre for the merry-makers. There will be an alumni banquet during Commence ment week, and this fact will further augment the number present. (Continued on page five) , Commencement Program Begins Next Friday With Glass Day Exercises Troxell Is Praised for Appearance with Famous Werrenrath Charles Troxell, instructor in the -University Music Depart- ; ment, sang "Elijah" with Reinald Werrenrath, America's foremost baritone, in Charlotte last Tues day night. The oratorio' was sponsored and presented by the Charlotte Choral Society, and the choice of Mr. Troxell as tenor may be regarded as a definite tri bute to his talent: . The Charlotte Observer has the following comment on the perr f ormance : "Charles Troxell, well known and popular tenor of Greensboro, shared solo honors with Reinald Werrenrath. Mr. Troxell is a singer of experience and sound musicianship, and his vocalism possess a smoothness and ' tim bre rare in a section where a dearth of good tenor material is manifest. He was heard to best advantage in that most popular , of all tenor arias, "If with all your hearts," and his interpreta tion measured up to what we have come to desire in one who at tempts " this great piece of writing." Petty Waddill Is New Cheer Leader Governor McLean Tentatively Accepts Invitation to Be Present. LIPPMAN FEATURE TALK Unanimously Chosen.

EDITED BY VIRGINIA LAY President Chase to Speak at Colleges Leaves Today on Trip to Give Com mencement Talks. Prof. Ai H. Patterson requests that all candidates for degrees meet him at Memorial Hall, Thursday after noon, June 2, 2 o'clock to rehearse Commencement Day exercises. The Deans of the various schools are also requested to be present then. President Chase has accpted a large number of invitations to ad dress the graduating classes of vari ous colleges in North and South Car olina.1' . ' ' . ' On Saturday Dr. Chase will leave Chanel Hill to give the commence ment address at Due West Women's College at Due West, S. C. After the University executive leaves Due West, he will go to Coker College and de liver the final address at the insti tution on the 31st. President Chase will then return to North Carolina an4 address the members of the senior class of Catawba College at Salisbury, N. C. Alumni Executive Secretary to - Study in New York Next Year. Daniel L. Grant, Executive Secre tary of the General Alumni Associa tion and Editor of the Alumni Review, has tendered his resignation to Al fred M. Scales, President of the Alumni Association. In the state ment, which Mr. Grant sent to Mr. Scales, he stated that his resignation would take effect in October. - Mr, Grant came to the University administration five years ago, when he became the head of the Alumni di vision. During this time he has per formed his duties remarkably well and has completed the groundwork of or ganizing the association. The two outstanding movements in the' program, which Mr. Grant has supported, have been the monthly is suance of the Alumni Review, a maga zine in which all material about for mer students has been published, and the publication of the Alumni Hand book, The Alumni Handbook .em bodies a very close study of the past, present and the future work of the University. The retiring secretary has been very active in Alumni work throughout the country. Last year the National As sociation of Alumni Secretaries met in Chapel Hill and elected Mr. Grant as the president of the organization. Mr. Grant stated in his letter to Mr. Scales that he wished to study more intensely the problems of the alumni secretaries and that he intended to go to New York where he will do some special work. The Carnegie Founda tion made the study possible to mak ing a grant to the University.. , (By Prometheus) The Negro issue is out ! Coming as a distinct surprise to the campus, the last number of the Carolina Magazine is the product solely of negroes. To those who are familiar with Oppor tunity, a journal of negro life, the Magazine contains many familiar names; to those who are acquainted with the Negro Literati, the Magazine offers a great source of further study, as it has attempted a representative contribution of Negro life and art. Lewis Alexander of Washington, D. C, who was selected as honorary edi tor of this number of the Magazine, recently made a trip south in the in terests of Fire, a new magazine of the Niggerati; as the negro intellectuals term themselves. Mr. Alexander was instrumental in the assembling of ma terial for this Negro issue. Charles S. Johnson, editor of Opportunity, A Journal of Negro Life, also assisted greatly in expanding the field and has contributed an article, representa tive of the Negro intellectual which serves as "a key to the issue and an identification of the writers." Featuring in this issue is "The Negro Enters Literature" by Charles S. Johnson ; "Symphonesque," by Ar thur Huff Fauset; and two drawings from "Emperor Jones," by Aaron Douglas. In the article by Mr. John son, there is set lortn in lucia style a brief review of the negro in litera ture. The author says : "Although the saga of the transplanted African has been scarcely more than marginal notes to the drama of America, no wholly intelligent view of the new world development is possible which docs not embrace the experiences of the new world dvelopment is possible which does not embrace the experi- (Continued on page eight) Final Buccaneer Is Parody of Yackety Yack; the Cover Best. SENIORS HAVE A SECTION (By Prometheus) The last number, the Senior num ber, the Comic number of the Buc caneer is off the press. For the first time this year the comic magazine has taken on a personal touch and inci dentally has touched rather force fully the seniors to whom the Yack ety Yack is devoted. This number is a mild take-off of our dear annual. Refraining from publishing the well-known well on the cover, the artist portrays his idea of the collegiate senior, stepping out with his diploma tucked under his arm. The cover, by the way, is one of, if not the best, that has appeared on the at the Clafj3 Exercises Buccaneer this year. The color com bination is extremely good. Flipping over past the first adver tisements, we are 'greeted with a few "typical" campus scenes. From the most sober-minded, these photographs would draw at least a mild chuckle. In one scene, we see a group of gar bage cans with the caption, "A Typi cal Campus Scene." Under another picture of a flight of dirty, rickety, trash-piled steps, we see. "Main En trance to the Library." And under another of a crumbling shack are the startling' words "President's Man sion.", The prize of the lot is a ver dant field of grass in the middle of which a creature of bovinistic form and appearances reposes contentedly. Under this a phrase shockingly pro claims the picture to be "The Fresh man Athletic Field; the Freshman in the Center is Playing Tennis." Gilda Grey Then the dedication (and here we wonder if it is meant to parallel the Yackety Yack dedication) and next the introduction to seniors. Verily the page fairly wiggles. Did any of (Continued on page five) ' Beginning with the annual Class Day program next Friday and ending Monday, June 6, with the Commence ment Exercises in Memorial Hall, the 132nd Annual Commencement of the Universitywill mark the graduation of a record-breaking class of around 281 students.
