There is, according to the Good Book, a time for all things. Hence . with a program of practicalities for active newspaper workers featuring the fourth annual Newspaper Insti tute which started here last night and will continue thru Thursday and "Fri day of this week,, it seemed especial ly fitting that the president of the North Carolina Press Association, who is to preside over such of the meetings as require that sort of thing, should be a dyed-in-the-wool, biown- . m-tne-Dottie zu-mmute newspaper egg. . A. L. Stockton, managing editor of the Greensboro News, came with that paper when it was just emergin from the chrysalis of the Industrial News. Indeed, some of the plagues of its Egyptian bondage., probably still existed in the form of payments overdue on Mergenthalers, press and news-print. For Messrs. Hildebrand and Jeffress, the original owners, there was nothing much in prospect except a wide-open field and plenty of work. But no paper ever lined up a more competent staff . composed of those who, if they did not like to work, so hated having labor about them un performed that they gave an effective imitation of love and affection. As the News has gone forward and Mr. Stockton has become one of its owners, he has found a trifle more time for ten years he had none for visiting, has learned the golf clubs by name and is said to make a rip ping Kiwanis speech; but he is just as easy to find at the News office as hitherto. He's easier to get along with, too; but has not as yet joined the Millenial Dawnists of the Fourth Estate who expect remission of sins without .shed ding of blood or . goad news-stcries written otherwise than in the sweat of one's brow, hiffh or low as the case may be.

University Student Government Has Reached Acme of Perfection Elimination of Rules, and Regu lations Was Aim of Conven tion, Declares Jonas. Heel Basketeers To Open Season With Guilford Friday Night Tar Babies Will Play Oxford High Previous to Var sity Tilt. Hibbard Warns Students Should Take Required Work First, Says Dean of Arts School. The University of North Carolina cage squad will officially open its in tercollegiate season here Friday night at 8:30 o'clock, when 'Pat Crawford brings his Guilford College Quakers over for the curtain raiser. The Tar Heels will enter the fray with six victories and one defeat to their cred it. The Quakers also have an impres sive pre-season record. While little is known of the real strength of Crawford's men, it is a safe bet that the Guilford team pre sented here will carry out the repu tation for skill and fighting qualities established by them here in former years. The visitors dropped a spec tacular tilt to Elon 'at Elon, Tuesday night, bu the score of 24-23. However, press reports rate druilf ord as "one of the best defensive teams ever seen i on the Christian floor." So with this ! report, and. the rate at which the Phantoms have been traveling for the last few games, a stiff contest should be the menu for Friday night. Previous to the varsity title, Coach Belding will pit his Tar Babies a gainst the Oxford High five. The Heelets have been hard at work since the holidays, and if they continue the form shown in overwhelming the Four Oaks aggregation, previous to the holidays, the Oxford High quint, headed by Tony Remson ofAll-State football fame should be in for a hot time of it. This game is carded for 7 o'clock. The probable starting varsity line ups: Carolina Pos. Guilford Hackney Hayworth Forward Satterfield Coble Forward Vanstory ..'. Moore Center Morris (C) . Yelverton Guard, Dodderer Coletrane Guard The D. K. E. fraternity was; enter tained Saturday night at the Carolina Theatre. Addison Hibbard, chairman of the University Committee of Deans, issued a notice yesterday afternoon calling the attention of students in undergraduate courses to the regulation of the Univer sity which states that "In case freshman courses are taken after . the student's sixth quarter or sophomore courses are taken after his ninth quarter only half cre dit is allowed on those courses." This rule went into effect with the class entering in 1925 and governs all registration since that time. Dean Hibbard stated there has been an increasing tendency on the part of students to over- j look the rule, with the result that they lose part of the credit that they would otherwise receive for freshman and sophomore courses ; : and are obliged to take extra courses to make up for this loss. Dr. J. V. Danes Will Lecture Friday Night 'Some Problems of Human Geography' Is Subject of Address by Visitor. Dr. Jiri V. Danes, professor of Geology at Charles University, Pra- gue, and UzecnosiovaKia s most dis tinguished scientist, will lecture to morrow night at 8:30 in Gerrard Hall on 'Some Problems of Human Geography." . Dr.' Collier Cobb, head of the Uni versity Geology Department, made the following statement in' speaking of Dr. Danes: "I consider the Univer sity very fortunate in securing him as University Lecturer for January. 'He i3 an attractive lecturer, speaks excellent English, and illustrates his lectures with lantern slides of superb pictures that he has taken in his travels in connection with his sub jects." -. The lecturer has travelled widely, having visited the Internation Geo graphical Congresses held in this (Continued on page three) The student government at the Uni versity has reached the very acme of I perfection, in the opinion of a large number of representatives of major colleges and universities all over the country, according to C. R. Jonas, president of the student body, who at tended the convention of the National Student Federation of America at Lincoln, Nebraska, just before the holidays. , President Jonas spoke before the delegates to the convention, who rep resented 160 of the more outstanding institutions of higher education in the country. These representatives were all very much amazed to learn that no constitution or by-laws are in ef fect here. "The opinion prevalent at the con vention was that all student govern ment is working toward the elimina tion of rules and constitutions," Jonas stated in an interview with a Tar Heel reporter recenely. "The dele gate from Princeton University an nounced that his school had abolished the constitution and by-laws this fall by which student government had previously been conducted. All the delegates were unanimous in declar ing that the University has a wide reputation for excellence in student government and in adherence to the precepts of the honor system here. ' The convention of the Student Fed eration is held annually to discuss problems of student government and to broaden the outlook of the dele gates who attend it on problems of self-government. The delegates are usually the student government heads in the schools they represent. Most of the work of the convention this year was done in the sessions of groups divided according to the sec tion of the country they represented. Committees made reports on various phases of the honor system and of student government. Delegates at tended the convention, which is a di vision of the International Students' Federation, from the University of London, from Paris, and from Hono lulu. It lasted two days and three nights. An invitation to meet at the University of Missouri next year was accepted. The Federation will be ex tended an invitation to meet here the following year. President Jonas left Chapel Hill December 13 and returned December 20. COUNCIL REPORTS CASES HANDLED 'DURING FALL TERA Publication of Report Marks Innovation in Annals of Student Government. The student directory for the sea son 1927-28 made its appearance on "the local campus last night. The book which was scheduled to appear " the latter part of October, was delayed on account of difficulty in the adver tising departments. The directory which is published by the Young Men's Christian Associa tion, must pay for itself in advertise ments. Mr. H. F. Comer, General Secretary of the local ' Y, announced that copy for the publication had been in the hands of the printer since Oc tober 10. This should have caused an earlier distribution of the book than in the preceeding years. . The advertising contract, however, was let to a regular advertising firm, which on account of sicknesses and other maladies failed to secure the proper amount of ads in the time limited for s publication. In order to avoid a similar difficulty next year, the busi ness contract has been let already and a provision has been made for all ads to be in by September 25 of next (Continued on page three) The Cax-olina leather-pushers, won their first victory of the season Tues day night at the Tin Can when they defeated the Duke University team 6-1. In the bantamweight scrap Coley of Carolina outpointed Saint Amand of Duke. Coley had the advantage all the way through. He displayed more stamina, and handled his mitts with more cleverness. White, Carolina featherweight, ham mered Max of Duke all over the ring; however, Max stayed with him throughout the three rounds and showed much pluck. White was by far the superior boxer. In the lightweight division, Smith and Mauney staged a . fast and furi ous . battle. The men were so evenly matched that an extra round had to be fought to determine the winner. Despite the fact that Mauney of Car olina was bleeding at the mouth at the final bell, he copped the fight. The welterweight performance was the cream of the evening's perform ance. Ed Butler, Captain of the Car olina team, and Warren of Duke were the fighters in this bout. Warren dis played furious fighting from the start, and gave Butler an interesting eve ning. However, Butler won the fight after the fourth round. Charlie Brown won over Carper of Duke after the fourth round. The' match was called a draw at the end of the third. Brown displayed his old style and finally emerged the winner. . The light-heavyweight bout was the only one lpst by the Carolina team. Rankin of Duke gained the decision at the end. of the third. This bout was the slowest of the evening. Ox Shuford displayed his old-time form when he knocked Kulp of Duke down in the second round for the count of nine.' Kulp 'managed to weather the storm and was still go ing at the final bell. This bout was 1 the most interesting of the evening. NOTICE! , It was announced yesterday by the business office that all students, who have not paid their bill 'for the win ter quarter or made some arrange ment about the matter, must do so before the end of this week. During the fall quarter the Student Council and the Faculty Executive Committee suspended three students, lengthened one suspension for only the fall quarter to suspension for the entire school year, and placed five men on strict probation, according to reports issued yesterday by J. C. Kes ler, Secretary of the Student Coun cil , and Dean Addison Hibbard, chair man of the Faculty Executive Commit tee. . ' The publication of the reports of the University's ' two disciplinary bodies marks an innovation in the an nals of student government and fac ulty disciplinary measures here. A strict veil of secrecy has been drawn over the penalties imposed by these two organizations heretofore. , In commenting upon the publication of the reports, Dean Hibbard declared that many students have the impres sion that very little is done toward punishing those convicted of cheating and of dishonesty on the campus, while the truth of the matter is that a number of students are suspended each year for violations of the honor system here. He stated his belief that publication of the reports of the Council and of the Executive Com mittee omitting tne names oi men suspended, would do much toward misapprehension. C. R. Jonas, presi dent of the Student Body, seconded Dean Hibbard in approving publica tion of the reports. y "I want to make clear," Dean Hib bard said, "the difference between the Student Council and the Faculty Ex ecutive Committee. The faculty com mittee and the council are entirely independent of one another. The fac ulty committee has no power what ever to hear appeals from the deci sions of the counsel. Cases of viola tions of the . University regulations or of the honor system may be brought before either body. ' . "The committee always notifies the parents of the student concerned of any action taken by it against him, by letter, phone, telegram or personal interview. Students returning to the University after a period of suspen sion always return on strict proba tion. "As for publication of the commit tee's actions, we feel that there is some dishonesty on the campus, and we think that the cases should be made public, omitting the names of (Continued on page three) Former Carolina Boxer To Battle F. Lewis in Raleigh Friday Night Senior Oass to Hold Meeting Tonight Pennsylvania Fighter Expected To Be Tough Opponent for Former Student. Tonight at 9 o'clock in Swain Hall the Senior Class will hold its most important meeting of the year, ac cording to Ed Hudgins, president of the class. The meeting will be strict ly a business session, featured by se lection of Class Day officers, dance leaders, and Senior Superlatives. Members of the committee in charge of the program for the meeting state that it will be snappy, with no long speeches and good eats. Syncopation will be furnished by the Buccaneers while the eats are being served. Sev eral matters, including consideration of the advisability of leaving a class memorial, will be taken up in addition to selection of the superlatives and officials to function in connection with the graduation exercises. Selection of the senior superlatives is always a matter of keen interest to the entire campus as well as to the members of the class themselves. There is always a number of them, ranging from the most popular man and the best-looking co-ed to the best athlete and the ugliest man. . President Hudgins urged that ev ery member of the Senior class be present especially the co-eds. Fout superlatives will be selected from the ranks of the senior co-eds. Weaver Features Good Audience Hears Symphonic Music Discussed at Person Hall. Yesterday afternoon the third of Paul John Weaver's lectures on "Sym phonic Music" was given in Pearson Hall at four o'clock. The lecture is bne of the series begun before Christ mas and to be continued each Wed nesday afternoon for several weeks. Because of its nature, an appreciat ive audience of musicians and music lovers, have been attending the series. Mr. Weaver is especially gratified over the number of students in attend ance, and has expressed the hope that more will take the opportunity to study this type of music which is now coming to the front in American music circles. , Ad Warren, American light heavyweight champion and for mer student of the University of North Carolina, will fight Frankie Lewis of Scranton, Pa., Friday night at the City Auditorium in Raleigh. The bout will be staged under the aus pices of the Pleasure Fund for the benefit of the penitentiary inmates. The match has aroused, much in terest throughout the State. Reser vations have been made for ringside seats from 'many remote towns, east and west. The little town of Ed wards, where Warren was reared, has its standbys who already made seat reservations and will be there to pull for Warren. In collegiate circles, much interest has been shown over the fight, and it is understood that a great number of reservations have been made by students. Arrangements to care for the large crowd of fans expected to attend have been made by the promoters of the bout. Besides the huge aggregation oi Kaleigh tans and outsiders, hun dreds of college boys from Wake Forest, Duke, Carolina, and State are expected. No doubt the auditorium will be packed; however, it is large enough to hold the crowd, having a seating capacity of approximately 5000 people. Frankie Lewis will, no doubt, pTove a tough opponent for Warren. Lewis has fought in over 150 battles, of which 41 were clear knockouts for him. In addition to having fought Young Stribling in Atlanta, he has proved his ring generalship against Flannigan - and Marty Galliger. Lewis has done most of his boxing in and around Baltimore, Washing ton, D. C, and WTieeling, West Va. Warren has four more southern bouts to fight before leaving for New York in February. His first will be with Joe Sigmond, the South Atlantic Navy Champion. Big Ben Pound, champion of Florida, is the next on Warren's list. His third bout will be with Gunboat Williams, Navy Champion. Tentative arrangements only have been made for the fourth bout in question.
