ADAMS EXHIBITS THOREAU'S WORKS Phi Opposes Trend To Industrialism The Phi assembly in its regu lar session last Tuesday night after a heated discussion defeat ed the resolution that the pres ent day tendency toward indus trialism in North Carolina be approved by the Phi assembly. The majority of the representa tives oDoosed the bill on the grounds that the government in I Torth Carolina is subsidized by big business, that Nojth Caro lina's industrialism is of the nineteenth century type, and that it is havinga radical effect on labor conditions in this state. The minority held that the pres ent industrial trend in North Carolina is only a fair example of such a trend throughout the world. They further held that financially the mill conditions offer a more desirable means of livelihood than the long estab lished agricultural situation. At the close of the discussion Acting Speaker Albright ap pointed Representative Wilkin son to confer with the Di rep- res'entative as to the date and query of the annual Mary D. Wright debate. SALE IS MAKING READING TOUR; MAY VISIT HERE The Tar Heels won't have to worry about Mr. Frank Peake when they meet the V. P. I. Gobblers here ...Saturday, but they will have to bother con siderably about another young gentleman who .may prove as big a sensation as - did Mr. Peake last season. Reference is to Macauley Mc Ever, brother of the famous Gene McEver of the University of Tennessee, who has been laid off with an injury since the first of the season. Macauley; McEver was' just launching- into sensational ground gaining antics when struck down in the opening game of the season He is re ported to be fully recovered, however, and will be used against the Tar Heels Saturday. Tomko, Spear, Owens, and Hooper are other Gobbler backs who are expected to give Caro lina plenty of trouble. The'Gob--blers present a well-balanced backfield. TOM LAWRENCE JOINS - CHAPEL HILL HIGH TEAM ' (Continued from page one) tic impression of Negro life than many a more pretentious work." With these facts and the in crease in sales of this book in mind, the probable visit of the author to the University as sumes a great deal of interest. Another announcement of im portance has also come from the University Press to the effect that "The Virginia Plutarch" by Alexander Bruce, will prob ably be off the press within ten days. It is the most recent of the association's releases. UNIVERSITY AUTHORITIES NOT DISTURBED BY REPORT Chapel Hill high school foot ball stock took a decided rise thig week when Tom Lawrence re ported to the team for practice. Lawrence is from Episcopal high in Virginia and was considered one of the best prep school ends in the Old Dominion. Chapel Hill so far this season has two victories and one defeat chalked up against them. Ash boro and Bragtown went down in defeat before Coach Jonta protegees; and Oxford, rating one of the best teams of its class in the state,, defeated the Chapel Hillians after a -hard struggle. (Continued from' page one) books and pamphlets on dis play, is a sonata, written as Mrs. Adams helpfully explained, " to be played in the mind, as it is not av particularly melodious composition. Another absorb ing volume, is a cheap edition of "The Excursion," which, sometime prior to coming into the possession of Dr. Adams, was in the hands of a sailor, who, when reading a passage in which Thoreau described the "diving-birds," annotated the book by saying: "Saw these off the coast of North Carolina." Dr. Adams obtained this book in Chicago and it is now once more in the country that the sailor passed so many years ago. At various times, persons be come imbued with Thoreau's ex periment as he described it in "Walden" and try to emulate his two-year more or less primitive life. On the top of Mt. LeConte, in North Carolina, there is now a young man who is said to have nothing but a copy of "Walden" with him, in his lone ly, isolated habitation. Last year, it may be remembered, a student of Dartmouth simply left his room one day and pro ceeded to enter the . deepest wood. He left an explanation, ascribing his act to the effect that Thoreau's writings had up on him, in showing the bad fea tures of present day civiliza tion. Unfortunately, Dr. Adams, who was ably assisted by his wife, exhibited his collection for only 'one day but that it was popular was clearly evinced by the number of interested peo ple who came to look at it. (Continued from page one) those of other associations. For example, some of the small col leges in this state allow fresh men on their varsity teams. We play those schools, because we feel that with their small stu- dent bodies we can afford to give them that advantage. "The Carnegie Foundation has set up a standard by which they judge the schools they have in vestigated. Whether North Caro lina and the rest of the South ern Conference come above or below that standard won't be known until the . Carnegie peo ple make public their complete report." "This report won't affect Carolina as far as I can .see," said Professor Hobbs, chairman of the faculty committee on ath letics, when interviewed yester day. "I should be the last to claim that we are purer in athletics than most other institutions of our class," he continued. "If the more reprehensible types of subsidizing athletes spoken of in the Carnegie foundation an nouncement exist here I am not aware of it. "Of course, some of our alum ni may get together a sum of money to help a good , football player through college. It is hard to detect that and harder to stop it ; we may have some of it. I know that that exists at Virginia, and the Carnegie announcement gives Virginia a clean slate. "If a man gives some penniless fellow five hundred dollars to help him through college every body praises him. But if the fellow turns out to be a good football player, he is called dis honest, and a subsidizer and pro fessionalizer of athletics. J "Virginia, ihough, is pretty careful about giving out athletic scholarships. In fact, at the Southern Conference meetings, the Virginia representatives constantly bring up the fact that J other schools give out scholar ships only on the basis oi atn letic ability. Georgia especially has been accused of giving schol arships and easy jobs to athletes, j both in the Carnegie announce ment and elsewhere. , "It has been difficult to prove these charges against Georgia or any. other school. When the com plete report comes out, of course, it will give all the facts and per haps some of these charges can be proved. I won't be afraid of anything proved against Caro lina. I haven't noticed much wrong here, but if there is, it will do the University good to have it dug out." This investigation was con ducted by the Carnegie Foun dation for the advancement of teaching, an organization en dowed by Andrew Carnegie. The foundation has been sending agents to investigate athletics in American, British, and Cana dian colleges, for several years. One report, comparing Ameri can and British sports has al ready been issued. The current announcement is ja preliminary notice of a report on amateurism m American college athletics, which will be issued in several months. Sev eral more reports and investi gations about college athletics are due in the next few years. Recruiting of promising school boy athletes by a subtle, intensely organized system, . one of the evils attacked by the report. Michigan, Ogelthorpe, Southern California, Wisconsin, and Northwestern are among the worst offenders in this re spect. "The. school boy notion' says the announcement, "that athletic ability can" be turned to advantage is so widespread that the mercenary athlete seldom waits for solicitation. He 'shops around For purposes of shop ping around one enterprising school boy had an especially fav orable press notice from a lo cal paper mimeographed, and sent it around to various col leges. "Soliciting and bidding for athletes are keen in the middle West, the South and on the. Pa cific Coast. The practice is not strenuous in tne boutnwesr so and New England At Dartmouth, N. T. XL, Penn sylvania and elsewhere, a spec ial member, of the coaching staff is necessary to care for the cor respondence with " school v boys about athletic scholarships. New York U. and Oklahoma, which pay regular weekly or monthly wages require special office forces to handle the payroll. Many novel methods are used for giving out athletic scholar ships. Blue Ridge College, for example, scales the amount given a man according to the number of teams he plays on. Carolina, according to graduate manager Woollen, gives uniform scholar ships, athletic and non-athletic, of 75 ; much less than other colleges give. Generally the coach or a grad uate official selects the recip ient of an athletic scholarship. At Ogelthorpe, however, the president of the college picks the lucky winner. Slush funds for subsidizing athletes exist at many colleges. They vary from 13,000 at Car negie Tech to $600 at little Cen ter. Usually the alumni or friends of the college contribute to the slush fund, Washington and Jefferson College in West Virginia had what was probably the grand mogul of slush funds. Alumni and business men made contri butions of from ten dollars to $1,000 annually to a fund ag gregating from $25,000 to $50, 000 a year. From this the col lege expenses of all football players were paid and additional! 'pay checks' were distributed to star players. In the East various prep schools have established rela tions with Princeton, Pitts burgh, Dartmouth and other col leges by which the college 'farms out' good school boy football players to the school, paying all his-, expenses, until the boy ? ready for college. That pn tice does not exist in the Sok Fraternities often do yy bit by providing room.? board for the players for most nothing. - Of 112 colleges and univer gation, only 28, seven of the Canadian, were found free of t above practices. Virginia Tulane were tne only Souths l ----- . - i colleges among tne zs. 0the-t were Chicago, Cornell, Iilinc ' West Point, and Yale. The remaining 84 institution j including North Carolina 1 many other leading university j were guilty oi at least one these practices. No specif charges, however, were maj. against each, college on the list these charges will be made p-& lie in the full report. The investigators were helped f at all the colleges visited except ! at Georgia, a Southern Confer, ence school, and Ogelthorpe, a member of the S. I. A. A. and one of the worst offenders.
