President of. North Carolina
Press Association is Directing
Program of Fourth Annual
Mid-Winter Gathering of
Newspaper Folk.
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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
