State Intercollegiate Meet NEW RECORD MADE Johnny Henderson, Asheville Boy, Clips Ten Seconds Off the Southern Record for the Two-Mile, Making the Run in 9 Minutes, 38 1-5 Seconds. The Carolina cindermen opened the state intercollegiate track season by overwhelmingly defeating Duke here Tuesday afternoon 80 to 46. The Tar Heels were prepared for stiff oppo sition and received it in the first two events, but after those events 'the Car olina tracksters 'cut loose everything they had and gradually forged ahead. Johnny Henderson, Asheville boy, was the ; startling sensation of the meet. Henderson, whose best previous time for the two mile was 10 minutes and 18. seconds, ran the distance' in 9 minutes 38 1-5 seconds, slipping ten seconds off the Southern record and lowering his own record almost 30 sec onds. He took the lead after the first mile and gathering speed with each succeeding lap, crossed the finish line 25 yards in front of Tuttle, Duke's bright satelite. 1 Duke started off like a house On fire scoring 17 1-3 points out of a pos sible 18 in the first two event, the shot put and high jump, but this pace was soon slowed ups and the Tar Heels began steadily to gain on the lads from the Bull City university. Yesterday's meet showed the weak spots of the Carolina outfit to be in the field events. Coach Fetzer says he greatly need3 field event men and 'that there are plenty of openings and chances for new men. After losing the shot put and high jump, the Tar Heels staged a surprise by winning first and second places in the pole vault. Carolina showed up well in the other field events and ran away with the track events.

Classic Shades Shudder As ames A. Reed Bitterly Corruption in enator enounces ational Government ; D Greensboro Rsal Estate Board To Hear Dean Carroll What is lexpected to be one of the most interesting and instructive meet ings of . the Greensboro real estate board is that set for Monday after noon, April 9, at the Hylmore, when Dr. D. D. Carroll, dean of the school of commerce of the University, is to be the principal speaker.'' The program for the meeting is rap idly being perfected, and there will be a number of events in addition to the speech by Dr. Carroll. Just what his topic is to be is not known, a3- the speaker has been allowed any and all leeway he may desire. Jim Reed will be the next president of the United States if the hopes of a number of University students are realized. Sentiment ran high on the 'campus in favor of the fiery Missour ian following the highly favorable im pression that he made by his speech and visit here Tuesday afternoon. In the colorful personality and checkered career the senator from Missouri is second only to the highly tooted Al Smith, in the opinions of & majority of those who saw and heard him during his brief stay in Chapel Hill. With his sturdy frame, ruddy face and iron-gray hair, Senator Reed appealed strongly to the sense of physical fitness that always plays a big part in the estimate that a college student forms of a man, whether: he be a politician, painter, baker, or blacksmith. His keen sallies of wit and his vitrolent flow of invective found a ready reception and keen ap preciation in the big audience in Memorial Hall. x . - That athletics cannot compete with a national political figure, of Senator Reed's calibre as an attraction in a University town was demonstrated Tuesday. The crowd that witnessed the. track meet between Duke and Carolina, bitter cinder path rivals for lo! these many years, compared very nnnrlw with that which heard , Mr. pw-'j Reed's address in Memorial Hall. , Tales connected with the hectic poli tical career of the Missouri senator were the chief topic of conversation in every eating place, f rat house and - dormitory bull session Tuesday and yesterday. -The 'story of his wonder f ul comeback from the position sof a political pariah and an outcast from his own party to that of ' one of the two most ardently supported candi dates for the Democratic-nomination Beautification of Campus Is Rapidly Nearing Completion V i i . New walks at several places where needed, and continued attempts to save the grass from a few students Twho seem determined to destroy it by unceasingly using it for. thorough fares marks the beginning of the spring work of the University officials to keep the beauty of. the campus pre served. A. walk has been made from the corner of Memorial Hall to the front of Phillips Hall, which shows official recognition of the route followed by most of the students and faculty who go to ; that building as well as Pea body building, a little further on. Work is progressing now- on a walk from the northwest corner of Old West dormitory tp the northwest cor ner of the campus, serving that end of the old fraternity row and the sev eral boarding houses in that neigh borhood, also giving a shorter way of reaching the morej distant part of the business section of the town. No Walk is being put through the grass from Old East ' to the New Dorms, in spite of the efforts of nu merous' students who are too lazy to use, any of several other paths lead ing to the same destination and in sistently disregarding the long valued charm of the campus, apparently not minding the abuse they are putting on the freedom allowed the students here in the matter of conduct and cus toms. The bare spots worn in the turf have been covered with f ertilizer, and signs placed on the campus in an effort to keep those plots of grass in tact. ' Two Interesting Lectures Given By Dr, C. At Shore Speaks Under Auspices of Sigma Xi, Local Research Fraternity. Dr. C. A. Shore, director of the state laboratory of hygiene in Ra leigh, speaking under the auspices of the local chapter of Sigma Xi, re search fraternity, in Phillips Hall Monday and Tuesday nights, discussed' "The Evolution of Preventive Medi cine." ' In his first lecture, Dr, Shore re viewed the history of preventive medi cine in general, showing that mod ern health has come about through the recognition of the fact that wide spread diseases always have natural causes. He 'further, stated that be fore the discovery of the connection between diseases and germs it was recognized by more intelligent people that attention to cleanliness tended to check disease. Dr. Shore, in the second of his lec tures, brought out the status of par ticular diseases and special means by which they are met. He also review ed the history of public health agencies, which have . quite recently come into existence. Dr. Shore de clared that public health work has advanced so far, within the last gen eration, that the disease feature of a great flood, such as that which oc curred in the Mississippi Valley, has been slight. Thirty years ago such a calamity would have resulted ' in a tremendous loss of life. Wigue and Masque Plans for Spring Quarter Program . Tuesday morning the Wigue and Masque organization held its first meeting of the quarter to make plans for the spring presentation which the club will give this quarter. A greater part of the meeting was devoted to plans and discussions for the work to be carried ,on by the Wigue and Masque next year. A number of unique and amusing plays, using campus talent entirely, are be ing planned. The spring presentation was . announced as a' musical review, but the officers of the organization are not yet ready to make definite statements as to the exact nature of the production. ; The last play given by the Wigue and Masque was the "Kalif of Ka yak,", which met with favor on the campus and was especially praised for its music, clever action, and female impersonation by campus talent. The coming production promises just as much entertainment as the last, and will doubtless be an improvement, since all care is to be exercised in the selection of the casts. Announcements as to try outs for parts, and the results of the cast se lections are to be made later. Fur ther announcements concerning the play itself will appear also when the plans of the organization assume a more definite form. Campus Nominations To Be' Held on April 3 Nomination of candidates for the thirty-four general campus and class offices will be held in Memorial Hall next Tuesday, April 3, and the elections will come one week later on April 10, it was announced by mem bers of the Central Executive Committee last night. The nom inations., had originally been scheduled to take place today, but the absence of C. R. Jonas, president of the student body, who is representing Carolina in the Tulane-Carolina debate at Tulane University next week, necessitated the postponement of the annual campus election activities.

PHI ASSEMBLY HOLDS MEETING Plans - Made to Bring Political Speakers to Campus in Near Future. LAWS HELD IN CONTEMPT Army School To Hold Meetings This Week Two meetings of the army, school will be held this week in the lower laborators of the Davie Hall annex. At seven-thirty on Wednesday night, March 28, Colonel James M. Little, Executive Officer of the 321 Infantry, begins a course on "Organization of the Army." Thursday night, at the same hour, the course on "The Prep aration for Fire" will be continued by Captain Richard G. Hunter, Execu tive Officer of the 316th Field Artil lery, Duke Frosh to Hold Annual Cap Removal Durham, N. C, March 24 (CP) In a speech before the Freshman class this morning, President Weaver of the Student Council announced that a general cap removal will be held on Wednesday night. At this time each member of the class must come be fore the Council with a cap. Those who are not able to present a cap will be required to purchase one and wear it until the new student officers are elected and inaugurated. Those who continue to be negligent" about wearing the caps will be required to keep them on for the remainder of the term. In the opinion of the Coun cil this is the best plan for the en forcement of the wearing of the caps. The tentative date set by President Weaver for the election of the new officers is April 16. At this time the Student Council for next year and several other campus officers will be chosen. . . The Phi Assembly held it first meeting of the quarter on last Tues day night in New East building with only a small but enthusiastic group out for the discussion which proved one of the -most interesting of the year. The question as discussed was "Re solved: That-the armed forces of the United States should not be used to protect American capital invested in LatiaAmerica except after declara tion of war." The resolution was introduced; by J. A. Lang who thought that the United States was overstep ping its authority and was all the while being carefully watched by the European nations. Mr. Noe followed with a pointed speech against the pol icies of the-present administration in regard to activities in Latin America saying they were a violation of inter national law: Ogden Parker, the oth er proponent of the measure, said that the United States was right in en forcing the Monroe Doctrine as to other nations but was wrong in tak ing from the Latin American coun- Says Senator Borah and His In surgents Are All That Are Left of the Soul of the Repub lican Party in Washington. Bitterly flaying the Coolidge and Harding administrations and present- day corruption and abuses in the na tional government, Senator James A. Reed, Missourian figuring prominent ly among the favorites for the Dem ocratic nomination for president, le livered a fiery two hour speech in Memorial Hall Tuesday afternoon. Senator Reed's brilliant sallies pf wit and his flow of stinging vitupera tions against the party in power served to keep interest at a high pitch. He spoke here under the aus pices of the TAR HEEL, and Dave Carroll, associated editor of the carai pus tri-weekly, who was instrumen tal in bringing him to Chapel Hill, occupied a seat on the platform. President Chase presided over the mass meeting and Introduced Honor able Walter Murphy, of Salisbury, who presented Senator Reed. Senator Reed started on in rather tame fashion and it was more than an hour before he had warmed up to his customary pitch, but once he hit upon the Teapot Dome scandal there was no heading him and he had spoken two hours before anybody realized it. Emphasizing the point that the American government was established that the doctrine of the right of the individual to control himself might prevail, he asserted "that it has be come almost heresy to mention this doctrine today. History swings a round the circle. It is an invariable rule in the life of nations that they swing back into the old system fre quently by insensible degrees. "State's rights have been gradu ally absorbed by the Federal Govern ment," he said, and he cited, among others, the interstate commerce acts, the pure food laws, and the child labor law. "So many powers belonging to the states have been taken, over by the Federal government that Congress is I now faced with problems that no mind 11 11 t m .

There will, be a meeting of the Pal metto club Friday 7: 00 p. m. in the club room of the Y. Dr. Collier Cobb will be present to make a short talk. The primary purpose of the East ern Conference, according to' Profes sor Koch,' "is to stimulate interest in pressive list of notables. - All indica tions are that it will be the biggest dramatic conference ever held in the South. Some of the authorities who have already accepted invitations to attend the Eastern, Conference here' are George Pierce Baker of Yale, Walter Pritchard Eaton, New York dramatic critic; Eva Le Gallienne, actress; Bar rett Clark, dramatic critic; Paul Green; Marion S. Tucker of Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute; and John Em- err.on, president, and Frank, Gilmore, Crumpler, Harrell,sand Crew object ed to the resolution on the grounds that the capital invested in Latin America was for the benefit of the natives and that due to their inabil ity, to establish a stable government it became necessary fpr the United States to intervene; and If such inter vention was postponed until war was declared, then it would be of no use to intervene. The resolution was de feated by a large majority. J. IL Harrell was appointed by the Speaker to serve as the' Assembly's representative for this quarter on the Debate Council, the present vacancy being caused by Tom Capel's not re turning to school. v Plans were begun for the bringing of a political speaker to the campus in the near future. The most favor- able speaker proposed is State Sen ator Burguwyn,- at present a candi date for Lieutenant-Governor, who is a very good speaker and a former Carolina student. It was thought by the Assembly that Mr. Burguwyn can bebrought to the campus and J. .W. Crew was authorized to write to him immediately. The Speaker announced that the various committees would be appoint ed at the next meeting and a brief inaugural ' address delivered. ' - the Little Theatre throughout the executive secretary of the .
