Fraternity House Catches Fire
Sunday Afternoon; Accidents
Delay Fighters.
Chapel Hill's municipal fire depart
ment, with its full-time fireman, gave
the appearance of having attempted
to model its methods of firefighting
along the style of the famous child
savers, although there was probably
no child, so young as to: need being
saved, to be rescued from the fire Sun
day of the Phi Delta Theta house,
which was extinguished after' strin
gent efforts by the conglomerate force
which protects the city of Chapel Hill
from fire.
The fire broke out sometime about
twelve-thirty, and a crowd gathered
to see the snow. Alter ..so long a
time, came the new fire truck, with
the full time driver and the pick of
the crew. After manoeuvering their
vehicle into position, the men jumped
off and, pulling out a sufficient num
ber of sections of hose, joined them
all together, straightened them out,
and attached one end to the fire plug,
which "was located conveniently near.
The water was turned on, and the
stream directed, towards the roof of
the building. Trouble began soon af
ter, when a portion of the hose, vet
eran of many years of service, if not
so many fires, found itself unable to
constrain so much water, and burst,
giving the spectators a drenching
Operations ceased, and another whole
link of hose replaced the holed one.
The water was again turned on, until
another part of the hose blew out
Desperation reigned, and a complete

Kay Kyser To Play

1 Orchestra Will Present Pro
grams Near Lake Erie.
Kay Kyser and his orchestra left
Friday afternoon for Ohio where they
will bf lnrated for the summer. The
orchestra made its last appearance on
t.hp Hill Thursdav at the Pickwick
Theatre. The program given was en
thusiastically received by hundreds
both at the matinee and evening per
formances, being generally proclaimed
as one of the best entertainments in
recent months. The orchestra played
last in Raleigh Friday night before
leaving for the north.
In the two years that his band has
been formed, Kay has gained consid
pmihlA rernemition in the south. He
has played in several southern states
and last summer became popular in
Ohio for mVunique and original style
of performance. His repertoire not
only consists of playing and singing,
but his comedy skits and original pre
sentations have made a great hit along
with his radio broadcasting which al
ways draws favorable comment.
The orchestra makes its debut at
the summer resort on Lake Erie where
it will play May 19. Until that time
the boys will visit their .respective
families. They will record at an early
date and after their engagement in
Ohio expires they will probably ac
cept one of the numerous offers made
them. All of the boys expressed their
regret at leaving, but promised to re
turn some time next fall.

Unadjusted Valve on Oil Burner
Causes Disturbance at
Stetson "D."
Sleepy students were rudely awak
ened early Monday morning (12:30
A. M. to be exact) at shouts of "Fire
fire!" Whereupon several of the most
alert, and those to whom a conflagra
tion always appeals, quickly, gathered
in front of Stetson D where the fire
was supposed to be raging. Volumes
of smoke appeared in the rear of the
store, but no flames were visible. Some
energetic person, however, summoned
the efficient fire department which
came on the scene en masse. One of
the firemen rapped on the door as if
expecting someone'to open it for him,
and finding his efforts f util desisted
after a short while.
A half hour afterwards one of the
clerks of Stetson D arrived with the
key, and the whole force assembld
in the part where the smoke was is
suing. It was found that the valve
on the oil burner had not been adjust
ed properly thus causing the disturb
ance. One" by One the students, some
ostentatiously bedecked in pajamas
with a bathrobe thrown over, filed
out and returned to their intrrupted
slumber.
Old Man Weather Tricks th

Sudden Evolution from Flannels to Raincoats by Knowledge

A sudden evolution from flannels
to raincoats marked another of the
changes of humor of Old Man weath
er during the last few days. The old
boy's tricks are well-known in these
parts, but the" Oldest Inhabitant
claims that this was one of the fast

"During the blizzard of '88," began
the old timer, before this reporter had
time to stop him, "there was some
mighty funny weather. This here last
week we had some funny weather too,
but it ain't compared to what " at
this point the Oldest Inhabitant left

KILPATRICK PAYS
HIGH TRIBUTE TO
NORTHCAROLM
Weil Lecturer Lauds State's Ed
ucational Development; Com
ments on Pioneer Work.
If education is to meet the new de
mands of the changing South, intel
lectual honesty and critical minded
ness must be given , first place and
bigotry, intolerance and prejudice
must be discarded, Dr. William H. Kil-
patrick, noted educator, declared here
Saturday night in the last of the an
nual series of Weil lectures. The sub
ject of his closing address, was, "The
Education Needed to Meet the De
mands of the Changing South," These
lectures attracted large audiences
composed - of out-of-towh as well as
local hearers, and have created no lit
tle comment.
The university is the "agency par
excellence"' for placing the South
abreast of the best in the educational
scheme, stated the speaker, for "the
university is the critic of what is and
the suggestion of what ought to be."
"The universities are democratic in
that they do not issue edicts -and can
only persuade. They must -see their
duty as service, but always of the
critic. Universities must be free, freed
from economic care and free to fol
low the version, without dictation from
any . selfish source."
Dr. Kilpatrick paid tribute to North
Carolina's scheme of educational de
velopment, mentioning the pioneer
work of Aycock, Alderman, and Mc
Iver. On account of the different
methods used in the schools, it is
doubtful whether such progress could
have been made in his native state of
Georgia or not, he said.
If the South is to occupy its proper
place in the r educational scheme, its
educators must emphasize creative in
dividuality and independent thinking
rather than examinations and grades,
he asserted. '
Quoting the words of the Savior, "I
came that ye might have life and that
ye might have it more abundantly,"
Dr. Kilpatrick urged upon his hearers
Jhe importance of continuing the edu
cational process after leaving the col
lege walls.

Mid-term grades may be se
cured now in the Registrar's of
fice. filled with half -clothed figures. Spar
row's pool did a rushing business. So
da fountains were forced to send out
for substitutes for their over-worked
clerks, taxed by the fevred demands
of heated students for "dopes," and
yet more "dopes." The famous eara
pus mutts draped themselves over the
pathways and refused to bother with
any of the worries of this world, in
cluding fleas. Summer had arrived.
Then, with bewildering suddenness,
March weather was again an unwel
come guest. Cloudy skies and high
winds called for slickers. Co-eds held
their skirts down. The tennis courts
were devoid of players. Raincoats
took the place of flannels and white
ducks, and Chapel, Hill returned to
its normal state of an ever-imminent
deluge.
Just what Old Man Weather will
do next is uncertain. The Oldest In
habitant, ; recovering consciousness,
claims that we are in for a blizzard.
The Tar Heel, ever interested in the
welfare of Carolina students, calls
attention to the situation, and advises
those who would be properly-prepared
for local weather conditions to supply
themselves with one sun helmet and
three suits of rubber underwear. You

DR. F. P. GAINES
PLEASES CROWD
IN lflSADDRESS
President of Wake Forest Speaks
on Academic Heresies at
Golden Fleece Tapping.
There are academic heresies on
the college campus of today," asserted
Dr. Francis P. Gaines, president of
Wake Forest college, in his address
at the Golden Fleece tapping which
was held in Memorial Hall last night.
The heresies as he saw them are (1)
The idea that conspicuous achieve
ment in scholarship is incompatible
with the largest development of per
sonality: (2) The idea that the chief
end of collesre is to achieve and to
maintain moral recitude and earnest
ness; (3) The idea that the college
years are a period for enjoyment of
a fast fleeing youth; (4) The ab
sence of intellectual ambition from
the list of compelling motives and em
phasis of student life." t-
It was around these points that Dr.
Gaines centered his lecture. He did
not blame the college student entire
ly for these errors and misconcep
tions. , He blamed the idea of moral
maintenance on the parents largely.
Many parents seem to be satisfied to
' have their children get through the
period of changing youth. The speak
re agreed that this is very necessary
but it certainly should not be the
used to hold on to the "fast fleeing
principal aim of the student.
The idea that college should be
youth," said Dr. Gaines, is caused by
the alumni. The alumnus loves to
tell of all the bad things that he has
done in college days gone by and
many things that he has probably not
done. This kind of influence is very
encouraging to the ' young man who
wants to spend all his time in things
other than academic and collegiate.
The absence of intellectual ambi
tion is more responsible to the stu
dent than the others. Many men go
to college just because "papa sent
me," or because the other boys and
girls of his set went and he thought
that he should go too.
Dr. Gaines is a very interesting
speaker and those who went to hear
him were well pleased with the new
president of Wake Forest college. He
gives a very lively address and at all
times keeps his audience interested in
the subject.
Dr. Gaines in beginning his lecture
congratulated the future members of
the Golden Fleece, and encouraged
those who had hopes of attaining this
honor and had failed to receive it. In
encouraging them he quoted Kipling:
"If you can meet triumph or disaster
and treat both impostors the same."
