H. Haywood in this manner, as
sured him that all his friends
.were sustaining the attacker as
having acted properly.
Conflicts between students
over girls constituted much of
the, misconduct of the period. In
i818 William Anthony, a stu
dent; from Virginia, accused
Simon Jordon, a young member
of the faculty of having insulted
Kim when they had together es
corted Miss Betsy Puckett one
Sunday afternoon to Mounty
Carmel, about four miles from
the village toward Pitssboro.
Claiming to be of age, Anthony
tried to resign from the Univer
isity in order to fight a duel. Al
though he was not allowed to
twithdraw, he armed himself with
three, pistols, a dirk and a club,
and attacked Jordon when he
met. him on the street. The in
structor defended himself until
assistance arrived.
At a patriotic banquet Feb
ruary 22, 1818, George Wash
k ington's birthday celebration,
student carrousing broke into
an open fight. According to ac
counts on faculty records, wea
pons were drawn. Amidst fur
ious' fistcuff s and knife play one
student, whom the record terms
"a peace-maker," was stabbed in
the arm.
The recklessness of this ex
tra vagent period according to
Dr. Kemp Battle in his History
of the University, may be laid
to the influence of the War of
1812. The war seems to have
had a peculiar effect upon the
young men of the era, imbuing
them with a disregard of laws
and a desire for free expres
sion. . Innumerable petty rules
.'jet down by the faculty were
'deliberately violated, often to
the regret of the students, for
the records of the times show
an unusually large percentage of
suspensions and expulsions.
SPANISH FILM SHOWS
AT CAROLINA TONIGHT
The Romance language de
partment is presenting a Span
ish cinema, La Fiesta del Diablo,
at the Carolina theatre tonight
at 9 :00 o'clock. In the cast is
Carmen Lairabeer, celebrated
Spanish actress. The .Spanish
picture is adapted from an
American-made production, The
Devil's Holiday, in which Fred
eric March and Nancy Carroll
starred. In the United States
the Hollywood production of the
novel, which ran serially in one
of the leading American periodi
cals before its publication in
book form, was a tremendous
box office success. The compet
ence of the leading lady, Carmen
Lairabeer, has been largely re
sponsible for its sucess in Spain.

For Associate Editor
At the meeting of the Ameri
can Society of Civil Engineers
Thursday night, John Cain was
elected as the associate editor of
the Carolina Engineer from the
civil department.
This magazine, a revival of a
1927 publication, was revived by
the vote of the four engineering
departments some time ago at a
joint meeting. The staff is com
posed of an editor in chief, four
associate editors from the four
departments, and a business
manager; at the joint meeting
George Gorham was elected as
editor in chief, and Noah Zelley
was selected , by the group as
the business manager.
The election of Cain leaves
three associate editors to be
elected at the next individual
meetings of the Electrical, Me
chanical, and Chemical departments.
