DEBATE SOCIETY
VOTES AGAINST
BILLS DISCUSSED
Bills Favoring Credit for Athletic
Attainment and Discard of Mon
roe Doctrine Defeated.
Little response was given the
introduction of bills on the cal
endar of the Phi assembly at the
meeting in New East building
Tuesday night, and the meeting
presided over by Spe'aker Dan
Kelly adjourned prior to the
regular, time for adjournment.
The only speaker to discuss
he proposal that students of the !
University of North Carolina be
given credit toward graduation
for athletic attainment, Repre
sentative Rubin, opposed the
measure. An overwhelming ma
jority voted against the bill. The
following bill was defeated. Re
solved: That the constitution of
the United States be so amend
ed as to provide that the citizens
of the District -of Columbia and
all territories of the
Aside from personal memorial
gifts such as Kenan stadium,
Can building, and the Morehead
Patterson campanile, the grounds
of the University are conspic
uously lacking in monuments.
There is little question that an
absence of sufficient funds has
thwarted more than one plan to
erect shafts or tablets in honor
of the great dead of the Uni
versity. ... ' . . :
Caldwell Monument
.The history of the Caldwell
shaft is indicative of the strug
gle necessary to securing the
means for presenting memorials
to the University. Eleven years
were required to raise the mon
ey to erect this monument to
Joseph Caldwell, D.D., the first
president of the University.
Ironically enough it was Polk
who instigated the movement
among the alumni of the Univer
sity to raise a memorial to Cald
well. While he was still chief
executive of the country, in
1847, he sponsored the resolu
tion that the graduates make the
monument possible by contrib
uting three dollars each. It was
decided to place the new shaft at
some central spot on the campus
to supplant the old sandstone
column which had been placed in
a bad location by the erection of
New West building.
Dedicated in 1858
According to'.Battle's history
of the University, $210 was the
sum amassed after the first can
vass. Since this sum was insuf
ficient, the individual contribu
tions were increased and in 1858
the cmomittee appointed for this
purpose announced the dedica
tion of the monument.
When the Caldwell monument
was dedicated it was a shining
white marble obelisk, more than
twenty feet in height, situated
near Davie Poplar. At that
time it was virtually in the cen
ter of the campus and attract
ed considerable attention.
Today, however, it is weather
beaten, cracked, overgrown, with

A bill favoring the discard of
the Monroe Doctrine by the
United States provoked a great
deal of discussion. The major
argument for the discard pro

fected by the policy.

Entertainment Postponed
' The regular Thursday evening

this week has been postponed un

announced yesterday.
a few acres of land seems all
that prevented the state legisla
ture's committee of six state
senators from placing the Uni
versity in the now non-existent
village of Haywood in Chatham
county.
Public opinion on the question
of the location of the University
was heartily in favor of Hay
wood. In fact, the situation in
dicated that almost any place
but Chapel Hill would be select
ed, for the legislature serious
ly considered Raleigh, Williams
boro, and Goshen in Granville
county, Smithfield in the east,
Pittsboro, and Hillsboro.
Committee Undecided
The controversy over whether
Carolina should be at Haywood
of Chapel Hill grew out of the
fact that the, legislature select
ed Cyprett's Bridge which cross
es New Hope creek in Chatham
county, adjoining this one. How
ever, the Bridge was not chosen
as the location until after a mea
sure had been passed providing
that the site might be fifteen
miles from the place designated.
A committee of six was appoint
ed to select the land.
In November, 140 years ago,
the senators set into the woods
of Chatham and Orange county
to search about in the prescribed
radius of fifteen miles. A rec
ord of a journal kept by Senator
Fred Hargett, chairman of the
selection committee, and dating
from November 1 to November
9, reveals that the men viewed
several possible places and re
ceived numerous unimpressive
financial proposals from the pro
prietors. Although pleased with
the site at Haywood, the sen
ators were hesitant because of
the price of the land.
Speculators Boomed Haywood ,
A determined effort was un
der way to bring the University
to Haywood. Confident that it
would be the location selected,
speculators bought land with in
tentions of selling at high prices
to' instructors and business peo
ple who must follow the stu
dents, Had it not been for dona
tions of land on and surround
ing Chapel Hill, from people in
this vicinity, Carolina boys
might today add boat' racing to
their athletics, since Haywood
was located at the confluence of
Haw and Deep rivers. Haywood
has today taken its place with
other vanished "boom-towns" of
past years.
