CHAPEL HILL, NC. April 2.-Although
spring is. little slow the debating is
not. Everybody is debating from Fresh
| men up The deba te of the season will
be held in Gerard Hall, Friday, April
18th. between Carolina and Georgia
The query is. Resolved, That the tariff
policy of the United States should be re-
vised on a basis of a tariff for revenue
only" Carolina has the negative. If
she should win this debate, and we feel
sure that she will. it will he the fourth
victory she has won over Georgia in
four years.
The base ball season opened with two
victories for Carolina, and our prospects
for a winning team this year are very
good.
AS for music, we have all a person
could wish for A good Glee Club, an
excellent orchestra, and fine brass
band. The Glee Club and orchestra will
leave April 18th for a ten days trip go
ing to Greensboro. Winston-Salem, Raj
eigh and other places.
Everybody is interested in the coming
Commencement. Plans are on foot to
make it the best in the history of the
institution
The baccalaureatc sermon before the
graduating class will be delivered by the
Rev. II. p. Dewey, d. D., pastor of the
Churchfof the Pilgrims, brooklyn, n. T.,
one OF the most prominent representa-
tives of the great congregational Church
of the United States.
| Dr. c. s. Mitchell professor of history
i'll Richmond College, Richmond, Va,
will preach the annual sermon before the
Y. NJ. {. A. on Sunday night. DR.. Mitch
| ell is an able and practical speaker He
is prominent in the religious and educa-
tiOnal life of Virginia and is also an
! editor.
Shepard Bryan, Esq, A. b., 1891, of
Atlanta, Ga. will deliver the address be-
fore the Alumni Association on Tuesday
June 9TH. Mr.. Bryan is a prominent
lawyer of Atlanta and a devoted son of
the University.
The Governor of our State, Hon. Robt.
b. Glenn, has consented to deliver the
Commencement address this year.
This is not ALL however The two So
cieties by joint action have made the
the Commencement banquet free to all
society members, and the entire expense
of it will be borne by the societies as Or
CARNATIONS and not by individual mem
bers who remained, as heretofore. This
action means much for the throwing
open OF the Commencement, and will cause
many students to stay who would other
wise leave Immediately after examina-
tons,
Speaking OF banquets, a plan is on
foot among the undergraduates to give
the Freshman class a banquet during
Commencement week. 1t will be given
by the Sophomore and Junior classes
and will be absolutely free to the Fresh
men. The purpose is to induce more of
| the Freshmen to return next year and to
secure a better feeling between the
classes.
There will also be plenty OF fun. The
faculty base ball team have challenged
the Seniors to meet them on the dia-
mond during Commencement week. The
Seniors Of course accepted. That contest
will put all Others hopelessly in the
shade
All friends of the University are urged
to be present.
