UNIVERSITY GLEE
CLUB GIVES LAST
CONCERTO YEAR
li2 Give Programs in North
Carolina and Virginia; Tour
Will Last Eight Days.
The University's famous Glee Club,
WSKQ BO SUCCeSBXUliy mvaucu uuivyc
last Bummer, is now on its last tour
of this" collegiate ear giving concerts
ia various cities in North Carolina
artd Virginia. .
The tour includes Henderson, Wil
mington, New Berriand Greenville
in North Carolina, and Norfolk and
Richmond in Virginia. The club will
be away from Chanel Hill eight days.
.The story of the development of
this group from a mixed aggregation
of voices, banjos, mandolins, and dra
matic skits that made up a rag-time
program, to a 'delicately attuned chor
al organization that brought down ap
plause from all America and then in
vaded Europe with equal success reads
almost like fiction.
The period of evolution covered
eight years. It began with the com
ing to the University of Prof. Paul
Join Weaver and reached, a climax
last .summer when the club made a
tour of England, and France; and
judging from what the European crit
ics said the -Tar .Heel singers liter
ally "brought home the bacon." Since
the European tour the club has made
highly successful tours of North Caro
lina, South Carolina, and Georgia.

STARTTRAINING
Several Lettermen Back; Pros
pects Fair for Winning
- Team.
Wrestling Coach Chuck Quinlan and
his assistant, Kenneth M otsinger , an
nounced the start of spring practice
yesterday afternoon. Coach Quinlan
stated that the squad will practice
every afternoon in the Tin Can from
four to five. He urged that all can
didates for the squad be out every
day, especially the new men, since new I
holds and mat tactics will be taught
every afternoon.
Prospects are fair for a winning
team next year. Letter men will be
back in several weights, while the
new material is expected to show up
well, according to the coaches. The
spring practice sessions will give the
mentors an opportunity to get a line
on the new prospects, and thus im
prove chances of making a comeback
from the rather disastrous'seasori that
the University matmen experienced
this year.
Meets are now being arranged with
Davidson, Washington and Lee, State
aitd Dake The Southern Conference
meet is also being arranged.

HUDGINS IS NEW ;
PRESIDENT OF
STUDENT BODY
Wins By a Majority of 619
Votes over Charlie Lipscomb;
Has Had Wide Experience in
Collegiate Activities.
Ed "Hudgins won in the race for
the presidency of the Student Body
Tuesday on the v "crest of a tide
that had been turning in his jfavor
all through the gloomy morning, and
equally soggy afternoon. He ran up
a plurality of 619 votes over Charlie
Lipscomb, his 6nly opponent.
Ed's victory was a popular one.
Ever since he was elected to the pres
idency of the Senior class last spring
he has been prominently mentioned as
the logical man for the leadership of
the student body for the coming year,
and politicians have turned fond eyes
upon him as their favorite son for
these many months.
The election of Hudgins comes as
no surprise to the campus, for he had
been considered as one of the most
logical men for the position ever since
his election to the presidency of the
senior class last year.
Hudgins brings to his new office a
thorough understanding of many prob
lems confronting the president of the
student body; and his wide experience
gained through participation in so
many phases of collegiate' activities
should enable him to make an able
and judicious head of student govern
ment. -
Voted the best-all-round man in the
senior class, Hudgins is recognized
throughout the campus as a versatile
and competent man. Among his many
activities are the following: Secretary
of Phi Beta Kappa, Manager Varsity
Football, Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, Secre
tary-Treasurer Inter-fraternity- Coun
cil, Debate Council, Virginia-Carolina
Debate, Kappa Sigma Fraternity,
Sheiks, Gorgon's Head, Leader Senior
Ball, Vice-President German Club,
President Pro-tem Di Senate, Presi
dent Senior Class, Golden Fleece. At
the Golden Fleece tapping last spring
Hudgins was the first man to be se
lected for this high honor.
In the campus elections Hudgins de
feated Charley Lipscomb of Greens
boro who was his only opponent for
the presidency of student body.

Large Majority Votes Cast For
Twenty Cent Fee For Stu
dent Government.
The proposed motion for a student
government fee of twenty cents per
year was passed h the elections today
by a vote of 817 against 320 opposing

This fee which is for the purpose of
paying for the 'expenses of the elec
tions, including the costs of printing
the ballots and, the like, and to provide
for transportation expenses for ' the
President to fctuaent isoay conven
tions and meetings, is to be paid out
of the class treasuries from the fees
now collected. In case a student is
not a member, of either class the fee
will be added to his bill by the busi
ness office. Slightly over eleven hun
dred votes were cast in this election,

North Carolina Club Speaker Points Out Lack of Proper Budget

banization of State is Now Impending
o
"North Carolina is now at the turn
ing of the ways, and it is for her to
choose in which direction she will pro
gress in the quantative or the qual
itative development of her municipal
ities," according to Miss Ina V. Young
of Durham who spoke, here last, night
at the regular fortnightly meeting of
the North Carolina Club. Miss Young
talked on "Some Aspects of Munici
pal Finance in North Carolina." She
is a graduate of Duke University and
is at the present time with the Insti
tute for Research in Social Science
and a graduate student in the Univer
sity.
"The process of urbanization has
gone on steadily during the last cen
tury,"" the speaker said. "This con
centration of population in small areas
affords opportunities and advantages
because of mass cooperation. But with
this concentration of population the
life of the urban group becomes more
complex and intricate, and more ex
pensive to operate.
"Consequently, to counteract these
handicaps, there has been a slight ten
dency in recent years toward -decentralization,
rather than centralization,

Politicians had i plentiful supply of

and drizzled all during the gloomy
day, seemingly in an attempt to damp

At every poll, it seemed that there
were three amateur Tammany Hall
adherents for each voter. Although
the election partook ofa far more se
rene nature than most of its predeces
sors, there were a few heated sessions
that nearly devolved into fist fights

- According to Miss Young, North
Carolina had 413 incorporated places
of less than 2500 population at the
time of the 1920 census. Of the 413,
24 had less, than 100 population, 249

The usual last minute rush began
shortly after the five o'clock bejl rang,
and lasted up to the time that the
quitting whistle at the Carrboro Mills
blew and the polls were closed. The
politicians and the anxious candidates
departed toward their f rat houses and
dormitories, to spend a restless eve
ning until the Tar Heel extra appear

and fraternity groups was con

be no issue, and the non-fraternity
men seemed to be equally divided be

Negative Defeated Tulane in
CathoUc Stronghold; Lively
Subject Draws Good Crowd-
Colleges and universities reporting
waning interest in debating these
days may remedy the situation to a
great extent by choosing live subjects
of current interest, according to the
results of forensic contests recently
engaged in by University debaters.
Arguing both sides of the query,
Resolved, That Alfred Smith, Gov
ernor of New York, should be elected
President of the United " States," the
University debaters met teams from
Tulane and the University of Ala
bama in a triangular contest.
The University's affirmative team,
composed of Taylor Bledsoe of Ashe
ville and J. C. Williams of Linden,
met Alabama here and won a 2 to 1
decision; while the Carolina negative
team, composed of C. R. Jonas of Lin
colnton and John Mebane, of Greens- ,
boro, went to Tulane and also won
a 2 to 1 decision. Tulane, it must be
recalled, is located in a strong Cath
olic community, and the Carolina team
that won was debating the negative
side of the Smith question.
The debate here and at Tulane both
drew good crowds, showing, it is be
lieved, that there will always be a
good attendance when lively subjects
are being discussed.
The Carolina victories broke a tie
in the series and gave the Tar Heels
an edge.
PHI ASSEMBLY
HOLDSMEETING
Disposition of Proceeds from
Grail Dances Discussed by
Senators, -
It was brought out at the regular
meeting on last Tuesday night that
the Phi Assembly was of the opinion
that the desk copy size of the Fresh
man handbook is preferable to the
pocket size. There was no discussion
of the motion after it was fully ex
plained by Kiilian Barwick, but the
vote was taken at the request of the
chairman of the Committee on Fresh
man Handbooks.
It was definitely reported that State
Senator Burguwyn would appear as
a speaker on the campus in the near
future. Mr. Burguwyn, who is a can
didate for Lieutenant-Governor in the
next election is a very able speaker.
He will speak on some phase of the
xt it. rf ii i 't -j i
inoilii iaruima political snuanuii.
At this point the Ways and Means
Committee chairman very subtlely in
troducted the resolution that all fu
ture grail dances and the proceeds
therefrom should be placed under the
direct control of the student council.
No one spoke very enthusiastically in
favor of the resolution, althoueh sev-
eral, including Noe, Harrell, and
Crumpler questioned the right of the
Grail to take in money from the stu
dents and allow the same students no
right in saying how that money was
to be expended. It was also brought
out that most all of the Grail dona
tions were for athletics. Barwick and
Crew opposed the resolution, showing
that the Grail expended all of its
funds for campus needs, that the pur
pose is, to create a better spirit a
mong the fraternity and non-fraternity
men, and that no. one was com
pelled to go to the dances. The reso
lution was defeated by a large ma
jority. Fred Parker stood alone 'in favor
of the resolution that the Supreme
Court should give advisory opinions
to the executive and legislative de
partments without a test . case. He
thought that the judges could give
such valuable advice to the legisla
tors that many of our bad laws would
be eliminated. Hall, Crew, and Lang
opposed the measure on the grounds
that it would be unconstitutional, that
it would put too much work on the
judges of the Supreme Court, and
that the rights of the people to make
their own laws through representa
tives would - be taken away. This
measure was also defeated. ,
