BOXING TONIGHT 8:30 O'CLOCK -VARSITY '.vs. V. P. L em. : 4 p, BOXING TONIGHT 7:00 O'CLOCK FROSH vs. V. P. L VOLUME XXXVIII FORENSIC SQUAD HEARS BRADSIM ON NEXT DEBATE president Williams Of Debate Council Announces Debate With Emory February. 6 The session of the debate squad Thursday night in 201 Murphey hall took the form of an open discussion of "Resolved: That modern science tends to de stroy theistic faith." Dean F. F. Bradshaw directedthe discus sion and lecture for a short while, pointing out the main is sues in the question. This was the second of a series of lec tures which were designed as preliminary preparation for, the coming intercollegiate debate with Emory University. Dean Bradshaw contended that science is inherently, and of its own nature, hostile to faith in God (Carolina has the affirmative side of the ques tion). He advised that the af firmative should build an argu ment around the fundamental contention that modern science is contrary to the underlying principles of theistic faith. He stated that science rests on mathematics and light, the ele ment of faith being minimized to the extreme. Science deals with the material side of life ; theistic faith, with the spiritual. They move in very remote and antagonistic realms. These con tentions he cited as the premises of the affirmative side of the controversy. J. C. Williams, president of the organization, announced that the tryout for the Emory-Carolina debate would take place in 201 Murphey on the night of February 6. The date for the Carolina-George Washington de bate tryout was set for Febru ary 13. In addition to the an nouncement that Dr. Swartz, of the department of geology, would deliver the final lecture on the subject of modern sci ence and theistic faith 'at the next regular weekly meeting, Williams stated that the regu lar eligibility rules would apply to both the debates. Aside, from good scholastic standing, no member of the squad is eligible to try for a place on the team unless he has attended two thirds of the lectures on the par ticular question under consider ation. A Thumbnail Clarence Addison Hihhard By F.J. M. Editor's note: This is the fourth of a series of thumb nail sketches of prominent University men. Clarence Addison Hibbaed. He never liked the name Clar ence and was given nicknames early in life. While at Wiscon sin, he was called "Hungry Hib, the Hard Hiker" . . . Hard Hiker because he was in the habit of taking long, long walks alone, through the woods. Once he was gone for such a long time that his fraternity brothers started to drag the lake for him. He never did know how to swim. When he took a class of sixty students out on a boat in Japanese waters, the boat cap sized and the entire student body swam to shore with the excep tion of Addison, who straddled the capsized boat, waiting for kelp to come. He snore3. Which serves as a y to his habits.

This was the part the two men played in a wreck which occurred yesterday on the Southern4 railroad between Vacant Houses Since the recent building of several new fraternity houses at Carolina, a few old ones have been standing un occupied and open, full of newspapers, old books and furniture. Last week police discovered that gangs of high school boys and parties of negroes were using them as club houses, building fires in the fireplaces with chairs, picture frames and various articles of temporarily abandoned furni ture. Games of chance pro vided amusement for the un invited guests. A survey by the police and fire departments revealed that many "houses, private resi dences as well, were aban doned and unlocked, and in two cases, because of combus tible material lying about, constituted fire menaces. Owners have been warned to either lock or nail shut all the doors and windows. Professors Attend Engineer Meeting G. M. Braune, dean of the school of engineering, and Thorndike Saville, professor of hydraulic and sanitary engineer ing, attended the annual meet ing of the North Carolina en gineers held in Raleigh yester day.

And he doesn't care to have a jacket on. Clothes have never taken much of his time; and until a year ago, grey and black were the predominant colors of his life but recently friends and family have taken him in hand and bedecked him with gayer raiment. When he's home he writes, which is his chief avocation. At present he is busy with a book that will comment upon the southern short story. For this work, it was necessary for the venerable dean to read more than 80 vol umes of short stories and be tween 100 and 200 single stories. His idea of a swell holiday would be one in which he would be given every convenience to write. He does not like idle conversations nor gatherings that consist of nothing but prat tle.

Investigation revealed that, despite the fact that three cars turned turtle, no one was in jured. Outside a little shading up and a rude awakening from early morning dreams, none of the passengers was the worse for the mishap. Thompson and Hill are em ployed by the University Con solidated Service Plants and were returning from Norfolk when the wreck occurred.
