Artists.
TAR HEELS ARE FAVORED
The Southern Conference '' cross
country run to be held here on Emer
son Field Saturday morning at 11:30
will bring together the cream of the
South's distance talent.
The teams that have entered the
meet are Georgia, Georgia Tech, Ken
tucky, Washington and , Lee, N. C.
State, Virginia, and Carolina. The
most formidable contenders for the
Southern title will be Carolina, Geor
gia and Virginia. This does not
necessarily mean that the other, teams
will not give, the favorites keen com
petition. Carolina has defeated both
Duke university and N. C. State by
overwhelming scores. Georgia has
been defeated by Georgia Tech and
Auburn, the scores being Georgia 22,
Georgia Tech 32," and Georgia 23,
Auburn 33. Virginia has won all of
its meets this season.
The most, outstanding- candidates
for individual honors are: Pritchett,
Henderson, atid Fisher of Carolina;
Captain Branyan and Young of
Georgia; and Hutcheson and Robin
son of Virginia. Other cross country
stars that will be seen in the meet
are Captain Wright, , Brewer, and
Crisfield of Georgia Tech; Crisfield
of Georgia ; Owens, Dehrmand and
Geiss of Kentucky; Captain Nance
and Pilley of Washington and Lee;
Captain Brimley and Hoyle of NI C.
State and .Knight of Virginia.
Carolina Team Strong
Auburn and Maryland, winners of
first and second places in the Confer
ence meet held at Athens, Ga., last
year, have riot yet entered the run
according to information received
from Cross Country Coach Dale Ran
son. Carolina, the winner of last
year's run will place its hopes on
such stars as Pritchett, Henderson;
Fisher and Captain Elliott. So far
this season Pritchett, Henderson, and
Fisher have shown up best for the
Tar Heels. Captain Galen Elliott,
who has been out of condition this
season, is expected to hit his stride
.Saturday. He has always performed
best when most needed and he surely
will be needed Saturday', if the Tar
Heels expect to retain the title they
won last fall. Last year, jn the. Confer
ence meet Captain Elliott and Hutche
son of Virginia ran a great race
fighting desperately for first place:
the Carolina star winning by a scant
six inches.
Course of the Race ,
All of the contestants will be shown
over the course either Friday after-
- - S
noon or Saturday morning. This will
be done tNenable them to lay plans
for the' actual jrace. The race will
sart on the Freshman field and the
runners will follow a course leading
straight across to Rosemary street,
they will then follow the length of
Rosemary street out to Carrboro, mak
ing a loop by ' Sparrow's swimming
pool, coming '-. back in on Cameron
avenue at the laundry, continuing
along Cameron avenue until they
reach the Carolina jinn, swinging
"around by the Tin. Can and finishing
. in front of the Emerson Field Sta
dium "after running one lap around
the cinder track. '

at Fortnightly Meeting.
Indications are that every seat in
the Kenan Memorial Stadium, the
University's newjpridiron and outdoor
forum, will be occupied when the uni
versities of North Carolina and Vir
ginia, rivals of 35 years standing,
clash here on the gridiron TIanks-
giving in what has long been one of
the outstanding football, classics of
the South.
The public sale of tickets was open

and there was a big rush for them.
Approximately 9,000 are available,
however, and this means that all who
make advance reservations should get
In' the past s4ven, years there has
been ho reassessment of a nature-that
attempts an, intelligent, equitable dis
tribution of the tax burden in the
great majority of the counties of the
state, Hon. A. J. Maxwell, chairman
of the State Corporation Commission
and of the newly created Tax Com
mission, asserted -,. Monday night at
the regular fortnightly meeting of the
North Carolina club. .
Dr. Maxwell's talk marked the third
of the 'series of studies of the tax
problem of "the, state the club is un
dertaking this - year. - The program
for the remainder of the year, as out
lined by Jud Ashby of Rocky Mount,
president of -the club, includes discus
sions of the tax burden of agriculture
the. tax burden of industry, classifi
cation of property for taxation, meth
ods and problems of assessment, the
income tax ? in this and other states,
business and occupational taxes, the
use and possibilities of the inheri
tance tax, the use and possibilities of
the sales' tax, the importance of de
veloping federal and interstate comity
in taxation, and tax administration
and tax records.
"No state in this country . has got
ten very far. from the property tax
as the chief dependence for revenue,
Mr. Maxwell said. "It is much the
most important form of taxation in
North Carolina, and one that, has not
been given . the importance and the
attention that it deserves." t
Mr. Maxwell stated that he, togeth
er with the other members of the
new State Tax;. Commission, hope to
make as thorough investigation pf the

erect temporary stands.
Tickets reserved "through alumni

this week, and . all of those reserved

A great many firms and corpora
tions are. buying tickets in blocks for
their employees. For the first time in
the history . of Carolina-Virginia
games here it appears that there will
be nlentv of seats for others than
alumni. Alumni are always given the
first opportunity to buy seats, and
heretofore there" have been few left
after their needs were cared for. The
new stadium, with its 24,000 seats,
appears to be remedying 'that situa
tion, but those intent on seeing the
game are cautioned to make reserva
tions early. . v . '
If the present heavy sale continues,
it may be necessary to erect tem

Thirtyrsixpercent of the total in

of, however, as going to pay the ex

' The Board of Aldermen of the town
of Chapel Hill adopted an ordinance
with regard to pedestrian use of the
streets of the village which will- be
of interest to the student, body, be
cause on Franklin street in particu
larly so many students congregate for
the purpose of watching visitors leave
town after the game or for bumming
rides. Those engaged in either of
these two activities will from now
on maintain their front rank on the
curb. In view ..of recent discussions
concerning the etiquette of bumming,
the Board of Aldermen, Mayor Coun
cil, and City Manager Knox, empha
size the fact that .this ordinance is
not ahti-bumming and will have ab
solutely no effect on bumming, except
to make it safer for all parties con
cerned and to facilitate the flow of
traffic. The ordinance might appear
to a casual reader ; to be aimed at
the practice of bumming, but this is
not the case.
The ordinance follows:
AN ORDINANCE ADOPTED AT A
REGULAR MEETING OF THE
BOARD OF ALDERMEN, NOVEM
BER 14th REGULATING PEDES
TRIAN TRAFFIC ON THE
STREETS OF THE TOWN OF
CHAPEL HILL.
- Whereas, a large number of persons
have been engaging in the practice of
standing in the portion of the streets
of the Town which has been desig
nates for motor vehicular traffic, and
thereby have become a menace to pubr
lie safety, endangering not only their
oWn lives, but also, " the lives of the
persons operating .motor vehicles on
the streets ; now therefore, .
I:E IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD
OF ALDERMEN OF THE TOWN
OF CHAPEL HILL:
SECTION 1. That no pedestrian
shall be permittee to take a stand on
he motor vehicular portion of any
street in the town or in any manner
obstruct motor vehicular traffic and
that in crossing the street all pedes
trians shall keep in motion whjle in
this portion of the street. V
SECTION 2. That any person guil
ty of wilfully violating this ordinance
shall be subject to a fine of$50.00 in
the discretion of the court.
Several people standing in the
streets' at "times when traffjc was
heavy have been hit by cars, and
sometimes cars have been forced into
collision because the traffic area was
narrowed by the lines of -pedestrians
standing on each side. If those who
stand by the roadside and those who
stop to take on passengers will co
operate with the town council, the in
terests of all will be furthered. This
is the belief of the Board of Alder
men in taking this action. '

The matter of holding a con
stitutional convention to con-.
sider the adoption or revision of
the' present constitution of the
University student government
will be considered by a joint
meeting of the faculty, commit
tee on student, activities and: the
students' activities committee, it
was decided at a meeting of the
central administration council
held Monday evening. The joint
meeting of the facultyand stu
dent committees will probably
be held the second week of the
winter quarter. '
Last spring a resolution calling for
a student constitutional convention
was adopted at a general assembly o
the 'student body held to consider the
cases of thirteen students charged
with gambling. The resolution, offer
ed by Norman Block, read that, the
President of the student body should
convoke a meeting to consider the
present constitution, to revise it, ors
adopt a new group of fundamental
regulations and rules.
Because of the gravity of the mat
ter, action on the part of the Presi
dent of the student body has been de
layed, it was brought out at the meet
ing of the council. The student body
was in such an emotional condition
last spring that an immediate con
vocation might , have worked to the
detriment of student ' government
here. It was feared that hasty action
and unsound judgment, due to the up-
heaval over the cases of those charged
with gambling, would result in the
adoption of measures that would af
fect in a harmful way student gov
ernment, for years to come. u :"

(By W. W. Anderson) .
The second issue of the Carolina
Magazine has made a favorable im
pression on the campus, perhaps, but
hardly with the reviewer. Perhaps
this erring soul is unjustly prejudiced;
it might be the result of a prod from
a two-edged fork: who knows but
what it is the result of that delightful
dinner I ate tonight. In general, this
issue is bad but not nearly so bad. as
the first. That is, it is not as bad
in some respects". . .'
5 "Lucky! Cover f
Perhaps the reviewer shouldn't
know it,' but the cover has been bor
rowed from the Lucky Strike com
pany. That part of it is all right but
better judgment., might have been
shown in choosing a coyer for such a
worthy, magazine as our local "liter
ary"' effort. If the Lucky Strike peo
ple don't care what happens to their
advertising plates, then the Magazine
may enjoy the full privilege of. using
one of them. '
And the make-up is terrible. In
the first place, nb consistency is used
in the titles. In one place" we see
italic letters in every word of the
title, and in another a roman letter
sneaks in where only "itals" should
tread. Then the . beginning of each
article starts entirely 'too near the
top of the page,' reminding us of the
old dime novels that used all the
space possible. Surely the appearance
of a literary magazine should be
pleasing to the eye -if there is nothing
in it to read. The inconsistency of
the titles may be laid at the door of
the proof-reader but the editor does,
or-should, read his page proofs with
a more, meticulous eye. But. we can
over-rule this criticism for "no man
can serve two masters" and certainly
law does not mix . with a . literary
maerazine. We wonder sometimes
where Mr. Gardner spends his time
The entire make-up might be passed
with only a" thought that' of an in
experienced editor were it not known
that he had been advised correctly on
a few essential points concerning the
gentle' art of "making a magazine.
But the editor seems to have his own
ideas about such things and has paid
absolutely rio attention,
