V J , VOLUME XXXVI MANY MEETINGS HELD BY ALUMNI DURINUDAYS Banquets Held in North Carolina and Other States Featured by Keen Interest among Alumni. A number of county and other di visions of the University Alumni as sociation held meetings in this and other states during the Christmas holidays under the direction - of the Central Alumni office here. These meetings are held annually during the holidays, and they are generally fea tured by excellent speeches and keen interest among grads, , recent and otherwise. . Maryon Saunders, Executive Secre tary of the General Alumni associa tion, had charge of the arrangements for the annual gathering this year. Together with Field Secretary Tyre Taylor, who is relinquishing his posi tion to engage in the practice, of law in Charlotte, Mr.' Saunders made a tour of the state shortly before the beginning of the holidays, arranging the meetings with the local alumni groups. i Guilford County alumni blazed the way for the other groups this year when they convened around the ban quet table December 19 in Greens boro. Dr. W. S. Bernard, of the Uni versity faculty, delivered the princi pal address. He was aided and abet ted by Harry Schwartz, recently-elected captain of the Tar Heel football squad for next year. More than a hundred alumni attended. They had as guests the members of the senior classes of the Greensboro High schools. Tyre Taylor, retiring Field Secre tary of the Alumni association, deliv ered the address at the assembly of old grads at Lincolnton December 26. Professor Frank - Graham was the speaker at the Union county meeting at Monroe December. 27. Other meet ings held during the holidays were at New Bern with Harry F. Comer, secretary of the University "Y" doing the bulk of the ,speechmaking, in Rockingham county with W. R. Dal ton speaking, and at Winston-Salem, Burlington, High Point, and Mount Airy. Reviewer Finds Latest Issue Of Magazine Marshall's Article Is Outstand ing; Issue Shows Much Better Editing and Better Material. W. W. Anderson- The last issue of the Carolina Mag azine, the December number, was de cidedly the best -effort solfar this year. In general, the issue might have been named "a study in disgust" for that is the trend of the leading articles. The feature article, "College, Col legians, and the Scholar," by John Marshall is decidedly the life of the Magazine and perhaps the death of those who are caught by the author's pen. It is well-written and, though purporting to tell little, tells that well. "Intermezzo," by'. Joseph Mitchell parallels the article by Marshall, though it wavers in spots. In. the beginning, the author leads one to be lieve, that he is sneering at those who are "disgusted" but he abandons this frame of mind after the first page or two and becomes whole-heartedly sym pathetic with the dissatisfied few on the campus. "Pineville Episode" by Judah Sho han is the best of the Magazine's fic tion. Carefully depicting the life of the small town, this story, though a bit long, might well be applied , to any. of the "hick joints" we hear so much about. It contains those life-like' ele ments of, the "Old Home Town" and smacks realistically of the party-line household. "A Study in Pairs," by Henry Brandis and "The Legend of San TCathPTine Johnson are mediocre, though "A Study in Pairs' is decidedly better than the latter, The story of Miss Johnson might well be culled of its "ands." A sentence may begin with "and" occasionally but ten sentences of this kind out of fif ty-eierht aoDear to be a little too many, if the reviewer has counted correctly, especially with four in one short paragraph. The poetry, generally, is good though none of it is outstanding. We notice a pen-name. Perhaps women believe the only way to fame and for tune is to assume- a masculine cog (Continued on page four) COURT TEAM HAD SUCCESSFUL TRIP Defeated Monograms and Took Two Out of Three from Tu lane; Third Game 38-8. The Carolina Tar Heels in their holiday trip, which was the furthest south they have ever been, won three out of four: games, defeating the Charlotte Monogram club on the way down, and winning two v out of three games with Tulane. ' The. squad assembled here the day after Christmas, and played the Char lotte boys the following night, over coming them 33-30. In this game Red Price suffered a leg injury which put him out of the other three con tests, and will probably prevent his being in the return engagement with the Monogram club here Friday. , The first game with Tulane; play ed December 29, was the first meet ing of the two teams since the Tar Heels in their victorious march to wards the championship ttwo years ago in Atlanta, eliminated the Greenies in the finals. The White Phantoms apparently .had considera ble trouble in keeping ahead of their opponents, and ended the game with a score of 23-21. The next game was lost to Tulane by another close score, 19-20. The poor showing made in these two games by the Tar Heels, recognized as the most formidable contenders for the Southern Confer ence championship, caused much con cern to Carolina supporters and more delight to Tulane's adherents. For the third game, Coach Ash more changed the order of things and started the game with a team having Hackney and Satterf ield at forward, Vanstory center, and Morris and Dodderer at guard. This lineup seemed the most effective one used this season and the final game clos ed with Carolina on top of a 38-8 score. . , Sports writers at New Orleans classed.. Dodderer.. and, Morris as the best pair of guards ever seen there. In the last two games, Dodderer's opponent failed to score a point. Van story came across wonderfully in the third game of the series, his first of the season as center. Is Improvement U. N. C. MITTMEN ' LL MEET DUKE rV N FIRST MEET Coach Crayton Rowe Is Building Team Around Three Letter men of Last Year's Outfit. The University of North Carolina boxing team, which has made a line record since the adoption of the sport here, is to meet eight other teams this season, according to the schedule an nounced today by the Graduate Man ager of Athletics. The team will be without, the ser vices of Ad Warren, former national amateur light-heavyweight champion, recently turned professional, who was captain of the squad for three success ive, seasons, and he will be greatly missed. : I While Warren has been getting unH der way with his professional career, however, Coach Creighton Rowe has been busily engaged at the job of try ing to build another hard-hitting team around the three lettermen returned from last year's squad. These three veterans are Captain Ed Butler, Char lie - Brown and jOx Shuford, who fought in the welter, middle, and light-heavy weights, respectively. The schedule includes the strongest college outfits in the South, and top ping it off will come the annual Southern Conference Tournament at the University of Virginia, in which the Tar Heels made next to the best showing last year.

He had, he has re called, a kindly superior in those days, who treated him more as a young stu dent than an employe, a printer's dev il. This superior gave him good books to read and taught him to improve his writing style by following the leader ship of the old New York Sun of Da na's day. : Mr. Pew might have been an art ist had he not started in this way in newspaper work in the days when newspaper illustration was rare. He still loves td dabble in paints and pen and ink and in his early reporting days sketched cartoons and etched them himself upon chalk plates for reproduction in the Niles Times.

After a few dayVrest from their trip south, the Carolina Tar Heels started practice yesterday in the Tin Can preparatory to their next game which is' the return 'meeting with the Charlotte Monogram club, to be play ed here Friday night at 8 :30.

Monk McDonald may play- part of the game as guard. These are all former Carolina stars, with the exception of Brown, who was quite prominent on State's teams of recent seasons. " On Friday week, Guilford comes down for a game in the big freezer in which the winter sport events here are staged. The new uniforms will be used by the White Phantoms tomorrow unless the visitors use white suits, necessi tating the wearing again of the bril liant orange jerseys which have been the favorite so far. The new season tickets, which may be obtained when the bills are payed at the business office, must fye pre sented at the door for admission to all games henceforth, including the one tomorrow. All not having these cards will be charged fifty cents, ac cording to the manager of the bask etball squad. Copy for Buccaneer Must Be In Soon Copy for the January issue of the Buccaneer must be in by-. this Saturday night editor Andy Anderson stated yesterday. Everything except the copy for this issue has been finished and in order to have the comic out on time, the above dead line must be adhered to. All copy should be 'left in the copy box in the office of the Buccaneer in .the basement of Alumni. The cuts and cover have been ' finished and if the editorial staff get their copy in by Saturday night, the editor said, the Buc caneer will appear on time. This prolongation "of the dead line is to facilitate the work of the staff, giving those who did not have time to write over the holidays a chance to catch up with their work. to become reporter for the Cleveland Press. That was the beginning of what was to be a varied association with what are now called the Scripps Howard Newspapers. After these years in Cleveland Mr. Pew was made the New York representative of the Scripps-McRae Association. In 1900, a few years after William Randolph Hearst had established the New York Evening Journal and was' hiring away from other "papers the "bright young men'' to help him put it over, Mr. . Pew went to work for this paper. After two years in vari ous editorial pcaacities on the Jour nal, he tried free-lancing, with . con siderable success for five years and then rejoined the Scripps organiza tion as an eastern manager "of the Newspaper Enterprise Association, a position which he held until 1910. In 1910 he was married to Margaret Susan Barr and then went to Boston to be managing editor of the Boston Traveler. He held this position two years, leaving it to help organize the United Press Associations, of which he was news editor in 1912. Mr. Pew was always anxious for a fight, and in that same year went to Philadel phia to become editor of the Phila delphia News-Post, a Scripps paper, carrying no advertising, telling the news and exploiting it editorially-in the compass of four pages.

CHASE FINDS tfS;SCH00LSARE M0REDEM0CRATIC Carolina President Has Been In vestigating' Education Con-' ditions in Europe. One striking difference between ed ucation in: Europe and America is that in this country the poor boy has a far greater chance to obtain an edu cation, says Dr. Harry W. Chase, president of the University of North Carolina, who is back in Chapel Hill after a seven-month tour of Europe oh leave of absence. While he went abroad primarily to secure a long-needed rest, which has greatly benefitted him, Dr. Chase found time to confer with a number of leading educators in England, France and Italy. He made a' first hand study of European methods of education, and the impression he brings home is that America's sys tem is best suited to Americans and that the same rule applies to Europe. Neither has much to learn from the other, he says "America's. system; of education, all down the line, from the elementary schools through the colleges, is far more democratic than that found in Europe," he declared. "This is but natural since in Europe the social strata are more clearly ' defined. A person born in one class is more than likely to remain in that class through out life, while in this country a per son of humble birth may rise to any heights. "In this country the poor boy has a far greater chance. Europe's system-might be called the selective pro cess, for the idea of universal edu cation has not taken hold as it has in this country.- Over there the op portunity to secure, an education is denied many a boy because of his station m life or lack of funds." There are many commendable fea tures about European education, and Americans who get the opportunity to study a year or more -abroad should consider themselves fortunate, Dr. Chase said. He added that a steadily increasing number of Americans are going, abroad for study. PRICE OF MILK Karl JO CONSU OWL Dairymen , Say Rise In Produc tion Costs As Reason of 5 c Increase Per Quart. Chapel Hill's milk supply has been increased since the students depar ture for the Christmas holidays. Dairymen serving the village have announced that the price would be raised from 15 to 20 cents a quart. This increase went into effect on January 1. . The reason given by the dairymen for this sudden soar of price in milk is that the cost of cow feed has risen from $60 to $100 in the last year. This, in connection with the delivery production - and in general, the entire work connected with dairying has be come so arranged that they feel just ified in demanding the additional nickle per quart. . This change in the price of milk has brought much complaint' from the housewives of Chapel Hill and will probably receive the same con demnation from the students.- Moth ers of the village will feel the increase sharply for milk has come to take a large part in the food of children. The. Chapel Hill Weekly says: "The output of the Chapel Hill dairymen early this month (December) was 652 gallons a day. Perhaps half of this quantity is sold wholesale to Swain hall, restaurants, markets, and grocery stores. If 315 be taken as the number of gallons a day sold at re tail, men tne increase oi o cents a quart amounts ".to $63 a day for the village; which means that buyers of bottled milk in Chapel Hill will pay $22,995 more in 1928. than in 1927." Milk is sold in Durham for 20 cents a quart but in the surrounding country, (rf one or two places along the highway from Durham to Greens boro, the price of milk is cheaper. Dr. S. A.
