Englishmen Debate University
Team Here Tonight On Pacifism
Britishers Have Enviable Foren
sic Record -Carolina Debat
ers to Speak on Negative.
The debate between the British Stu
dents Union debaters and the Univer
sity team will begin tonight at eight
o'clock in Memorial Hall. The query
is, "Resolved: That the Only Effec
tive Attitude towards War is an Un
compromising Pacifism."
The Englishmen, Frank O. Dar
vall, Andrew Haddon and John Ra
mago, will defend the . affirmative
side, opposing Mercer Blankenship,
John Wilson and James Stanley, of
Carolina. While the British team
usually splits, the. Debate Council an
nounces that it will probably not do
so here. In event of a change in the
plans, John Wilkinson will likely as-
sist two of the visitors on the affir
mative, and the third will join the
other two local men.
Three different universities are
represented by the Englishmen, Mr,
Haddon, the leader, is a graduate of
Edinburgh University, and is finish
ing his study for the degree of Bache
lor of Laws, preparatory to entering
the Scottish bar. Mr. Darvall is from
the University of Reading, and Mr.
Ramago comes from the London
School of Economics and Political
Science. All three men are of pro
nounced political views concerning the
situation in their country, and have
been very prominent in their schools,
and somewhat so in the affairs of
their parties.
Interesting Subject
The subject for 'discussion is of
great interest to most of the civilized
world at present. On the campus, it
was treated' considerably during the
Human Relations Institute held last
spring by several prominent speakers,
such as Kirby Page, Herbert Adams,
Gibbons and J. J. Cornelius.
Just before and after the debate
commences the University band will
play a few selections, and after the
exercises are concluded, the visitors
will be entertained at a smoker at
the Carolina Inn, at which the debat
ers, the Debate Council, and other
Carolina debaters will be present.

Life of Eastern North
Carolina ; Two Plays.
Three books by Paul Green, author,
playwright, and professor, will short

the Fall Quarter, and has been work
ing steadily on a volume of short
stories, and two volumes of plays.
"Little Bethel Tales" will be ready
for the publisher, Robert McBride,
the latter part of this week. The
book will contain about twenty-five
stories based on life in a section of

the piece is continued during the
periods between acts on the stage by
means of moving pictures.
University Co-Eds
Contrast to Those of Years Ago
. - o ; .
Carefully Concealed Behind Curtains While at Commencement
Number Has Increased to 123 Opposition to Their
Presence Gradually Subsides.
o
(By Mary Louise Medley)
The University of North Carolina
is still chiefly a man's stronghold, but
the feminine army in increased num
bers is steadily advancing year by
year, and making inroads upon its
historic battlements.
There is a story to the effect that
the first three co-eds who received
degrees in 1897 sat carefully conceal
ed behind curtains to listen to the lec
tures of the professors. These three
would open their eyes and shout, "We
have conquered," if they could visit
the University this year, and see that
women are now matriculated even in
the schools of law,-pharmacy and med
icine. What would they think of the
bright-eyed miss in the Med school this
year who wears white overalls like
the men, and dissects stiffs with the
nerve of a Spartan? It is even rumor
ed by the male Meds themselves that
she's got plenty of nerve, and that
she may show the boys up.
Sallie Stockard iof the class of 1898,
Katherine Ahern vand Mary Pearson
Kendricks of 1899 were the women
pioneers who blazed the trail for co
education at the University of North
Carolina.
The year 1900 and 1901 found ten
and thirteen co-eds, respectively, at
the University. The young ladies en
rolled .were not permitted to have
their pictures in the year book, but
were merely listed on a page with the
title, "Co-eds." "Young Women pur
suing Studies at the University."
- First Club in 1906
In 1906 the first attempt at organ
ization resulted in the Woman's club
of the University, with Miss Mary
Graham, Morrison as president, and
Mrs. Archibald Henderson as secrer
tary and treasurer. The club had only
active members', and 41 associate mem-
RIGID REGULATION
CAUSES DISCORD
IN LAW SCHOOL
Football Players Forced to Take
Exani Two Hours 5 Before
the Duke Game.
A growing feeling of dissatisfac
tion among , the students of the law
school with the methods and rigidity
that the regulations of the school have
been and are being administered has
culminated in the circulation of a pe
tition to reinstate a student, it was
learned from reliable sources yester
day. The informant of the Tar Heel
reporter stated that the petition had
more significance than the mere re
instatement of the student. He points
ed out that the petition was represen
tative of the feeling of discontent
among the students.
There is a rule in the law school
that a man shall be dropped from
class if his absences exceed 15 per
cent of the total number of classes,
regardless of what may be the cause
or reason for the absences. Bill
Dodderer, member of the third year
class, had an attack of scarlet fever
and was quarantined long enough for
his absences to run over 15 per cent.
Dean McCormick . refused Dodderer
admission to his classes Monday morn
ing, under the 15 per cent regulation.
As a result of the action of Dean Mc
Cormick, a petition is being circulat
ed on the behalf of Dodderer. Yester
day afternoon the holder of the peti
tion reported that in five hours 38
names had been signed to the petition.
Leading members ,of the law school
student body hav signed, the holder
declared.
Football Players Delayed
Another display of the dogged per
sistence in carrying out the rules of
the school at all cost was displayed
Saturday morning when three mem
bers'bf the football team were made
to take their regular quiz in football
uniform, the informant stated. Odell
Sapp, George McDaniels, and Earle
Donahue, members of the first year
law class and varsity football players,
were forced, in order to be on the field
at Duke in time to begin the game, to
take their mid-term quiz in full foot
ball equipment. The quiz was sche
duled for 12 o'clock. The three men
sought relief by arranging the quiz
at another hour or taking a make-up

bers. Co-education progressed anoth
er step that'year in that the members
of the Woman's University club were
allowed to have a group picture in the
Annual. It is hard to determine
whether the modesty of the times or
the prejudice of the men students was
the cause for allowing the ladies only
space' enough for their heads ' and
shoulders in the picture.
It was vith some reluctance that
the : Yackety Yack of 1907 published
the pictures of Daisy Burroughs Al
len of Louisburg, N. C, and Willie
V. Lamberton of Rich Square, with
the senior class.
Extracts from articles, "As a Co-ed
Sees It," in the Yackety Yack of this
same year reveals that the co-ed of
1927 has not progressed much over
her sister of twenty years ago, in the
matter of feeling lonely as a single
representative of the female species
in a government , class of a hundred
inquisitive, critical males.
Miss Mary Graves of the class of
1909 wrote, "Lonely coedism among
six or .seven hundred of the opposite
sex makes you feel like a sword swal-
lower, or ossified man in a dime mu
seum." Her advice to maidens then
desiring to be co-eds, was to buy a
parasol. She seemed to think that
umbrellas . were lots of company at
first. ' '
V Given Close Inspection
, The mother co-eds" of the present
generation experienced the same feel
ing that there was something wrong
about me and my clothes which arises
from walking through halls and up
walks lined with commenting male
loungers, according to Miss Mary's
story..1 '
One young lady in writing about her
experiences, said that after walking

Carolina Takes First Four Places
To Win the Fourth South
ern Conference Meet.
The Carolina cross country team
won its second consecutive Southern
Conference title in the fourth annual
Conference meet held here Saturday
morning at 11:30 o'clock. Individual
honors went to Captain Galen Elliott
who led his team to victory by taking
first place. He covered the five-mile
course in 26 minues, 26 seconds,
breaking his. own record by nineteen
seconds and setting a new Confer
ence record.
Captain Elliott was Closely fbllow
ed over the line in the next three
places by his teammates Henderson,
Fisher and Pritchett. Brewer of
Georgia Tech took . fifth place and
Young of Georgia, sixth. Barkley
and Gallegher of Carolina finished
next in order. Gallegher, finishing
eighth could not score for the Tar
Heels due to the fact that only the
first five men count in the team
score.
Carolina was first in team scor
ing with 17 points; Georgia Tech-second
with 91; Georgia third with 191;
Virginia 107; Maryland 120; Wash
ington and Lee 122, and N. C. State
136. Low score won) . The Tar
Heels led by a margin of 74 points.
This was a considerably larger , mar
gin than that of last year's run at
Athens, when the Tar Heels massed
34 points to win while the nearest
opponent, Auburn, totaled 64 points.
The 46 harriers, representing the
seven Southern Conference institu
tions entering the. race, lined up on
the Freshman field at 11:30. The
race got under way at the crack of
Dr. Lawrence's pistol.' At the fore
front of the runners was Hutcheson,
Virginia's ace, who seemed determin
ed to set the pace over the gruelling
five-mile course. He was closely fol
lowed by the entire group of har
riers. Hutcheson held the lead for
the first mile, being closely followed
by Galen Elliott, Carolina's great dis
tance star., John Henderson of Caro
lina pushed the leaders from, the start
and at the three and one-half mile
mark he and Elliott were leading the
other contenders by a short distance.
Pritchett and Fisher of Carolina were
well in the running throughout the
race. Elliott held his lead until the
finish. The other strong contenders
throughout the race were Brewer of
Georgia Tech and Young of Georgia.

HEEL LINE STARS
Dopesters Astounded as Tar
Heels Make of Fiendish Jan
koski Only a Playful Imp.
The Tar Heels took a scriptural
motto, "Get thee behind me, Satan,"
last Saturday when they invaded the
Bull City to meet Duke's vaunted Blue
Devils. And the Heels did more than
issue that command, for they got
right out on the field and enforced, it
to the extent of three touchdowns.
The score was 18 to 0.
The Blue Devils' most devilish an
tics failed to pierce the brilliant
Tar Heel line. Even "Jan" Jankoski,
arch-fiend of all the Blue Devils,
became only a playful imp before the
terrific tackling and charging of the
greatest line that ever graced a
Dixie gridiron.
This Jankoski boy with the heath
enish name tried manfully to perform
some of the feats that had made his
name a terror to Boston, to Furman,
to Richmond, and even to N. C. State's
championship eleven; but his best ef
forts netted ojily a few scant yards.
Late in the first half Coach Dehart
yanked him from the line-up in the
hope that some other Devil might use
his pitchfork and brimstone more ef
fectively. In desperation the Blue Devil men-,
tor tried every known threat under
the sun. All to no avail ! The fam
ous Buie-to-Adams aerial combination
was not functioning. Of ten-times
Buie,.who was forced to drop back as
much as twenty yards to get away
from the fierce rushes of the Tar
Heel linesmen, threw his passes as
much as ten to fifteen yards to one
side and ahead of the fleet-footed
Adams. .
It was not only a Carolina day! It
was also a Carolina crowd ! That is

TAR BABIES TIE

State Freshman Title Is Won by
Belding's Proteges, Winning
Two and Tieing Two.
The University of North Carolina
Tar Babies battled the Virginia fresh
men to a scoreless tie Saturday after
noon in Charlottesville. This closed
the Tar Heels' "season, giving them a
record of two wins and two drawn
counts.
Both teams played 'rather ragged
ball, marred by many fumbles, which
possibly may be accounted for by the
fact that the weather was a bit too
cold for a good f ootball game. The
ball remained in the middle of the
field during most of the game, neither
team being able to advance any furth
er than the twenty yard mark.
Weaver, left half-back for the Cav
aliers, clearly "out-punted the best the
Carolinians had to offer. The Mich-ael-to-Nash
passing combination prov
ed to be -the best ground-gainer for
the Tar Babies.
The game brings the Tar Heel sche
dule to a close with victories over
State and Maryland frosh and ties
with Virginia and Duke. The Blue
Imps' defeat at the hands of the State
yearlings during the past week gives
the Carolina . freshmen a clear claim
to the state championship for fresh
men teams. JJuke nas won two games,
defeating Davidson and Wake Forest,
lost one to State and tied the contest
with Carolina, while the Tar Heels
have not lost a game.
