T. Carolina baseball sauad will
journey to Wake Forest to play the
Demon Deacons this afternoon on
Gore field. This is the second game
of the season between these clubs and
it will have a very destinct bearing
on their standings in the race for the
Big Five, championship.
The Tar Heels won the first con
test from the Deacons by a 4-1 mar
gin earlier in the season at Chapel
Hill. This encounter was a pitching
duel between Laning of Wake Forest
and Ball of Carolina, until the Heels
rallied in the seventh to send the for
mer to the showers and score enough:
rune to win the game. Ball held the
Deacons to five scattered bingles, but
gave way in the seventh to a pinch
hitter.,; Captain Westmoreland finish
ed the contest on the mound for Caro
line. .
At present Wake Forest is leading
Carolina by half a game for third
standing in the state championship
battle. The former has four victories
and three defeats while the latter has
two wins and as many reverses. If
the Tar Heels triumph this afternoon
they will move into third place behind
the leaders, State and Duke. The
Wolf pack is at the head of the list
with four victories to one defeat. . The
Blue Devils are second with the same
number of wins but one more loss.
Just whom Coach Ashmore will send
to the mound against the Deacons is
not known. However, it is likely that
"Lefty" Ball or Fulcher will get the
call. AH of the pitchers are avail
able, for none of them have seen ac
tion since the Virginia game in
Greensboro Saturday, but the Heels
meet Duke Saturday and State Mon
day. The remainder of the Carolina
line-up will likely be Mackie at first,
Jackson at second, Satterfield at short,
Lufty at third, and Coxe, Barnhardt,
and Jessup in the outfield. 'Alexander
caught a nice game against Virginia
and will start behind the bat for the
Heels this afternoon.
The Deacons have Joyner, James,
or Lanning to start 'against the Heels.
Joyner and. James were the two pitch
ers that tamed State College Wolf
pack last Monday. The Wake Forest
line-up will probably be as follows:
Reynolds, first; Dowtiri, second; Clay
ton, short; Joyner, third; Lassiter,
Scarboro, and Foust, outfield; and
Kuykendall, catcher.

ROYSTER GIVES
CHAPEL TALK
Says Tremendous Growth
Graduate Work Due to
Economic Security
m
"The. economic security of America,
and particularly the growing security
of the South, is in a large measure re
sponsible for the tremendous growth
in graduate instruction in, our leading
universities," Dr. James F. Royster,
dean of the Graduate - School - of the
University, told the students in an ad
dress at chapel period Monday.
"The most significant thing about
graduate work in the United States is
its enormous growth," Dean Royster
said. "During the last 20 years this
growth has been of a percent equally
as high as the growth in high school
graduations and college registration.
The whole system of fellowships,
grants, and other subsidies for re
search work has grown up during the
last 25 years.
"The doctrine that a ' man must
make up his. mind what profession he
is going to follow when he enters col
lege seems to be growing," the speak
er added. "The general tendency is
to force a student to make up his mind
too early. So many things have been
introduced into the, regular A. B. col
lege course, that even the students
themselves have a feeling that not
enough is learned about any one thii?.
Students wTho continue their studies
on into post-graduate work do so in
order to be able to concentrate on some
one thing that they are primarily in
terested in."
Dean Royster said that it has come
to be generally accepted that no in
stitution has made greater progress
in graduate work during the last dec
ade that the University of North Car
olina. Miss Cobb To Tell Of
East Carolina Ballads
Miss Lucy Cobb, a free lance news
paper writer and an assistant in the
University Institute for Research in
Social Science, will address the Wom
an's Club of Dunn Thursday on "Bal
lads of Eastern North Carolina." She
gave the same lecture before the Sor
osis Club of Henderson earlier this
week. .
Miss Cobb is well versed in the Bal
lads of the Carolina coast region, hav
ing spent years collecting and arrang
ing these pieces of folk lore. She wrote
a thesis on her collection of ballads for
an M. AI degree from the University
last year, and since that time has been
adding to the collection with the idea
of publishing the whole in book form.
Fears Youth May Lean Too
Heavily on Past Generation
Freshman Hall Is
Debated at N. C.C.W.
Greensboro, May 16. C P.) A
question which has caused much dis
cussion on the campus at N. C. C. W.
for the last two weeks is whether there
shall be Freshman hall next year, or
not.
" Those. who favor the idea say that
Freshman hall has its advantages in
that it gives the freshman a chance
to meet the girls with whom she is
to associate for the next four years.
Another argument in its favor is that
it would bind the class together and
develop class spirit. It is also held
that a girl would become more easily
adjusted to college life in such a hall,
because there is a" satisfaction in
knowing that your neighbor is just as
"green" as you are.
On the other han.d, those who -oppose
Freshman hall say that the fresh
men are jut a bunch of high school
youngsters who have no idea of the
customs or ideals of the college. There
fore it is advisable that the fresh
men come into contact with the up
perclassmen as soon as possible in or
der, to get the college spirit more
readily. This group maintains that
the sooner the freshmen get the col
lege spirit, through contact with up
perclassmen, the sooner their enthusi
asm for college will develop.
Miss Anne Lawrence has resumed
her work after being ill. at her home
in Raleigh all of last week.
GRAIL DANCE ON J
SATURDAY MGHT
ISLASTOESEASON
Is to be Given Under Auspices
Of New, Officers of
the Order
Beginning sharply" at nine o'clock
in Bynum gymnasium, the last dance
of the season to be given by "the or
der of the Grail will take place Sat
urday night, ending at midnight. .; f
This is the first dance to be given
under supervision of the new officers
of the Grail, and indications are that
the coming hop will be one of the
best given by that organization in
some time. Special features are .be
ing arranged for the entertainment
of the guests. Micky Block's Bucca
neers will play, coming directly to the
gymn from a "fraternity dance which
will be given just preceding.
For the last several dances, the hour
of the; real commencement of activi
ties has become later each time, but
care is being taken to have the music
and moving begin very nearly on time
Saturday. As usual, the building will
be decorated. -
- Numerous girls have been asked up
for this occasion. Quite a number of
boys, particularly seniors, ; who have
planned all along to have girls" here
for a dance sometime, have realized
that this is their last chance, except
the finals and private dances, and so
are making plans to be collegiate in
regard to having their girls up to
ia dance.
These dances are always crowded,
and to relieve congestion in getting
tickets, stag tickets are put on sale
from eight-thirty on at the booth at
the rear door of the gymnasium. No
stags may purchase entrance cards at
the front door, as this practice would
make it inconvenient for couples.. On
ly a limited number of single tickets
will be sold, depending on the attend
ance of others. No. spectators, either,
will be allowed.
Dunn Is Elected
Next President Of
Freshman Council
At a meeting of the Freshman
Friendship Council' Monday night,
Clyde Dunn, of Kinston, was elected
president of the group which auto
matically becomes, next year, the
Sophomore Y.M.C.A. Cabinet. Oth
ers also elected to serve next year
are: Ellis Crew, vice-president; H. N.
Patterson, secretary; and Sam Gor
ham, treasurer.
After the election of new officers,
plans for the annual Freshman Coun
cil banquet were discussed. Although
plans are only tentative, all members
including those wiio attended only the
first few meetings as well as new
members, are expected to be present.
Dean Bradshaw Points out That
13,000 Boys and Girls Will
Graduate From High Schools
of North Carolina Next
Month
"The leaders now in control of af
fairs in this state and section won
that control by their ability to meet
tragic necessities, both economic and
political, from 1868 to the end of that
century," Francis F. Bradshaw, -dean
of students In the University, said
in an address before the Greensboro
Lions Club yesterday. .
"Our leaders since the Civil War
have been leaders because they have
had tasks that seemed to them worth
while," he declared, "and because of
an added energy given them by the
fresh and - vivid specter of a recent
and tragic past. It has not been the
competition of the 'South that has
troubled the textile industry of .the
North in recent years, nor has it been
any certain economic law; the trouble
is that the textile mills of the New
England states have fallen into the
hands of rich men's sons."
The speaker pointed out that 13,000
boys and girls will graduate from
North Carolina" high schools next
month. "A majority of these will go
directly into the business and industry
of the state, and of those who go on
through college at least two-thirds
will turn to business and industry
rather than to a profession. What

Literary Clubs Sleet in Joint
Session Tuesday, Night
to Discuss Subject
HEATED ARGUMENT
Senator Lewis is Hooted as He
Speaks in Favor of the Fleece;
Motion is Carried by a 3 to 1
Vote
Meeting Tuesday night in a
joint session, the Dialectic and
Philanthropic literary societies
sent the following letter, after
carrvinar a motion to abolish the
Golden Fleece, to the president
of Carolina's alleged highest
honor society :
1 r
We. have been officially re
quested to inform you .that the
Philanthropic Assembly and the
Dialectic Senate assembled in
joint session have gone on record
by an overwhelming majority as
. favoring the immediate abolition
and disbanding of the Golden
Fleece.
The letter was signed by Taylor
Bledsoe, Ralph Noe, Carter Studdert,
J. A. Lang, Wyeth Ray and A. G.
Whitener, the committee oppointed to
The session met jointly at 7:15 in
the Dialectic hall in New West, Ben
Eaton, speaker of the Di, presiding
Both societies were well represented
and the discussion was one of the
most heated and lively of the year.
There was never a pause between '
speeches for as soon as one speaker
or senator finished, another was up
craving permission lor the floor.
ArcmYripnf t -flow arsr frrTv..,fv
over an hour and a half when a vote
was taken on the bill, Resolved: That
it is the opinion of the Di and Phi in
joint session tat the organization of
Golden Fleece has become useless
and should be abolished.
The result of the voting showed
that the two societies favored the bill
by a three to one majority.
There were more speakers who were
not in favor of the senior order than
there were men protecting it The
discussions and arguments became
heated and fiery and senators rose to
eloquent heights in their controversy
over the bill. V '
A. G. Whitner stated that the
Fleece had become enveloped in veiled
hypocrisy and that the Fleece drew its
men, for the most part, from the Y.
M. C. A. which had become a fertile
breeding ground for that ' organiza
tion. He argued in an effective man
ner that the Fleece elected its men
with biased opinions.
"The Golden Fleece has fallen short
of its purpose," said Taylor Bledsoe.
"They have failed to pick representa
tive men." He maintained further
that if the honor group did not, in the
future, correct this error, it should
cease to function. He said that if
the. Fleece did not revamp itself into
the type of ' organization that it ?as
originally intended to be, it would be
a disgrace to the catpus and to every
member of the Fleece. .
Ralph Noe had a word of praise for
the order. He said it was a good
organization in that it brought ob
scure men into the campus limelight
and thus made them known to stu
dents who had ; never heard of them
before. He reiterated, in a way, what
Bledsoe had said. .
Senator Bdst remarked that the
Fleece . was useless and superfluous.
He argued, as many of the other
speakers had done, that the organi
zation had no place on the . University
campus.
. One man said "evidently the wool
is being pulled over somebody's eyes!'
and another infuriated senator called
the Fleece "gutless wonders." Time
and again the senators rose to their
feet fired with blazing words of con
demnation only to be motioned to
their seats until the man speaking
had finished with the floor.
Wyeth , Ray and Garland McPher
son t spoke against the"" Fleece and
Charlie Price said "the only thing the
Golden Fleece has done in the last six
years is to keep a national honorary
organization, O.D.K.", away from "the
campus. He was backed up in his
statement by various senators who
added fuel ,to the additional fire kin
