PhiSociety.Last Wednesday evening, to the

tune of the doom of democracy andtherise of laborunions, 10 aspirantsfor inter-collegiatedebatinghonorsgathered to contest the matter toa bloody finish in the PhilanthropicSociety. Had Demosthenes andCicero been present at this exercisethey would have bowed their headswith shame, such were ortoricalheights reached by these eloquentand enthusiastic speakers. The hall jresounded with the vibrating tones

'of the denouncer of labor and theupliftcr of capital;of the pleaderforindustrial representation, and theadvocateof labor'srights.

The subject for debate was: "Re-solved,That labor through represen- jtatives of its own choosing shouldhave a voice in the managementofindustry. The debates were wellipreparedand the contest was spirit-ed throughout.

After a stormy session of about jtwo hours the victors emerged fromthe fray, carrying their hard-wonlaurels triumphantly off the field ofbattle. After a very earnest delib-oration, the judges awarded the"reps" to the followingorators:D. jM. Chalmers, R. E.McClure, C. K.;Brown and L. B. Schenck, with J.M. Dunlap as alternate.

Thursday Night Ushers inJunior Speaking

Glee Club is PracticingNightly for Speaking

Effort BeingExerted to GiveSplendidRecital at Junior Speaking

Around 7 :30 every night, stu-dents passing under thestately oaksaround ShearerHall,hearingmelod-ious strains wafted on the eveningbreeze, pause as did Joan of Arc,hearing voices. It is the Glee Clubrehearsing up in the chapel, and itsounds mighty good. Down therein the shadows you can hear themartial strains of Gounod's "Sol-diers' Chorus" from the opera"Faust"

—Grand Opera, fellows!

—and that bewitching hit "Sahara.";Soul stuff, bothof them;and that iswhat the Glee club is putting out

—soul stuff— and in the most approv-ed fashion.

In a few weeks Leader B. E.Shields is going to tour the statewithhis incomparableband of song-birds. Among those cities of NorthCarolina that will have the privilegeof hearing Davidson's Glee club arclienncttsvillc, Red Springs, Fay-etteville, Greensboro, Winston-Sa-lem, and Statesville. The local pa-pers of the above named places willgiveus a better idea of the excellentabilityof ourGlee clubafter hearingit than we cangivehereat this time.

Before this tour, however,David-son will be entertained with a con-cert by theGlee club. The Saturdaynight during Junior Speaking hasbeen set as the date for their per-formance on the hill, and The Da-vidsonian heartily recommends tojeverystudent on theHill to be pres-ent at this performance.Everysongof the Glee club is a hit, and everymember of that bandputs the num-bers over straight from the—

we al-most said shoulder

—heart. For

purity of harmony,appeal of tone,beauty of interpretation, and skill inrendering mustcal numbers, David-son's Glee club is unexcelled.

Dr.H.B. Arbuckle and his family-have played the host to the flu dur- Iing the past week. Dr. Arhuckle is |up and out now, and Mrs. Arbuckle ■

andHoward,theother twomembersaffected, have practicallyrecovered.

Many Fair Visitors forForensic Exercises

ExpectedThe Attractiveness of Speaking Will

be Greatly Increased byThis Fact

The secret is out. Whispered ru-mors have been Hitting to and froore the campus for the past severaldays to the effect that somethingwas to happen, and unlike many ofthe tales which were current in theS. A. T. C. days, these rumors aretrue. All efforts to keep the matterquiet are at an end, for tomorroweveryone on the hill willhave heardall about it. Briefly: A casual vis-itor to the college during the nextthree days might quite excusablymistake this institution of learningfor a young ladies'seminary,for onehundred and seven of the loveliestmaidens who ever smiled upon thisland which we call Dixie, will bepresent for Speaking.

The passing and shooting of thefirst team in the second period wastoo fast and accurate for the Scrubs!to continue the pace which they hadset.

RED ANDBLACK TROUNCEWOFFORD BY 38-17 SCORE

Roberts and Brice Star for Win-ner.;HecklinPlays Good Game

for Losers; Fast and HardFought From Start.

Gainingan early lead in the first|few minutes of the game and in-creasing it gradually until the finalwhistle,Davidson wona hard foughtand interestinggame from Woffordby a 38 to 17 count. The game wasfast,despite the fact that numerous \fouls were called, both sides com-1mitting many. Spectacular shotsbrought the gallery to its feet timeand again.

The first half opened up with Da-vidson scoring a foul and a fieldgoal in the first minute of play.!From this timeon the Wildcats werenever headed. Wofford scored thenext point and the remainderof thefirst half was nip and tuck, withDa-vidson drawing away from theBlack and Gold in the final min-utes. The half was replete withpersonal fouls, Chalmers being putout of the game in the first 10 min-utes on what was seemingly a heldball, but unusually close refereeingput him out. Roberts was shootingwild, scoring five field goals in thefirst stanza. For the Methodists,>

Hecklin lead with two field goalsand six fouls. The half ended 19 to12 in Favor of Davidson.

The second half opened slowly,but after the first few minutes theWildcats located the basket andfrom then on it was a walkaway.Heavyguardingon the part of HriceIand Striebeck held the Wofford Iquint to a lone goal. Three foul jgoals were shot, making a total offive points inall for the South Caro- jlina lads. Roberts and Romcfcltshot regularly and after the middleof the half there was no doubt asto the final result. Roberts caged a jneat shot from the center of thefloor, which drew heavy applause'from the spectators, especially thedelegation from Converse College,;who were out in full force with Red;and l'.lack colors on. The features;of the game were the scoring of;Hecklin for the losers, whomadeallbut two of his team's 17 points, and jthat of Roberta for the winners,whoscored 22 of the .W points.

ADDRESS BY DR.RAYNALi^BaaBMataMaaaB

" ISpeaker Show* Glory of Scriptural

KingdomDependson Mind,Not Matter.

Sunday evening Dr. E. C. Raynaladdressed the "Y" on the Glory ofthe Spiritual Kingdom as shownthrough the minds that God hasgiven to men. His text presentedthe glory of the Lord in the NewJerusalem: "Speak t<> this youngman. .. for 1. saith the Lord, willbethe glory in the midst of her."

The unselfish mind was presentedas the genius of all ages inventingand iTeating the wonders that havemade all peoples blessed. Americahas failed to realize this essentialfact in that she lias bent her su-premeendeavor to the production ofa great business and enormouswealthinsteadof realmen. She hasgone farther in this extreme thanGermany ever has in the develop-ment of her extreme militarism.America holds her positiontoday in-stead of that of darkest Africa notbecause of superior resources butbecause of superior mentality.

America today has a greater op-portunity than any other country.Will she still fail to realize the truevalue of the man!t'hrist was valuedat M) pieces of silver and yet theworld today is Christian instead ofGreek or Roman because Christ andHis disciples made use of "the gloryof the Lord in the midst," of the ;power of that given to man insteadof blind learning and force as did( ireece and Koine.

STUDENTS ARE URGEDTO PAY "YM ASSESSMENT

A renewed effort has been madein the past few weeks to collect theremainderof the students' three dol-lar Y.M. C". A. fees. < )ften it is difti-cult to find a man inhis roomor stillof tener he has not themoney, and iti- impossible to strike him at theright time. Par this reason there is 1

at present owing to the Y. M. ('. A.Imore than si(Ki from the student!subscription*.

More money this year has beencontributedby outside friendsol thecollege than by the students. Dr.1

Arbuckle. Professor Reed and Mr.lackson have raised on the outsidealmost a thousand dollars for thesupport of the Y. It is necessary1that the balance from the studentsbe paid at once if the movies are toIcontinue and the secretary's salarybe promptlv paid. It is not fair tothe others for part of the men to payanil the rest avoid the issue. Espe-cially is it hard to see personally themen who room in town and if thosewho have not yet paid will do sowithoutcanvassing it will be greatlyappreciated by those in charge. Themen to pay are Schenck, Sullivan,Boulware, Chalmers and Askew.Make your cheek payable to the Y.M. C. A.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS ANDBIBLECLASSES

The Mission Sundav Schools anilthe various I'.ible classes beganagain last Sunday, since the "tin"has been so kind in leavingthe cam-pus, ami every one should he readynow to make the religious workcount during the next three months.The attendance was good inmanyof;the classes hut there is plenty ofroom for improvement.

Those who have been goingout tothe different schools every Sundayhave done their work well andshould be commended for it. Butwhy cannot other fellows help themout by going too. It is not onlynecessary for enough to teach theclasses to go but those who havegone a few timesknow how thepeo-ple out there like for a crowd fromDavidson to be present.

"SPIC ANDSPAN."

More than half the members oli our student body remember the liftin the S. A. T. C. They remembeiI the gruelling drill and the strict|discipline; they remember the of-|ficcrs and some little pet phrases oieach; they remember pay day and

j the perfect nonchalance with whichI they parted with their hard earnedcoin for luxurieshithertoundreamedof; they remember the disastrous|"flu" epidemicand the rigidquaran-

i tine enforced at that time; they re-Imember that lastnight as in a feverofexcitementthey waitedfor morn-

j ingto come, andfor that hour toar-i rive when they would receive thatmuch coveted discharge, and last[ and best they remember their joy-[ ful departure on the 11:50 train.

These andmanyother things theyremember about their army life.Nevertheless, theyseem to have for-Igotten that other severerand closerquarantine which was imposed onthem for failure to keep camp freefrom litter and waste. And surelythey have forgotten how pretty andattractive the grounds became be-fore that quarantine was lifted.

Junior Speaking is upon us andIVolunteer Conference is only two

weeksoff. We should try to makeas good an appearance as possibleat such an occasion as this, when

j there are so many visitors on thehill. The college has just finishedthe long postponed job of clearingthe campus from leaves. Surelywithsuch a start as this we can keepit clean for a few days. Wheneveryou start to throw peanut hulls,banana peels, cigarette stumps, etc.,

Ion the campus just think of the fol-I lowing rhyme and act accordingly:Sixty anxious Juniors looking for

their girls and friends,The opinion formed byguests of the

speaking, dependsOn whether we rememberthe trash

Triple X.

Dor Mr. Common Sonae:At least a few of us have pref-

erence to the way in which we ridourselves of K. O. T. C. Our onethought is that it must go.You have indeedquite a nice plea

on patriotic grounds, but is it notpossible that this is mistaken ardoron your part? The Faculty gives usonly one terms credit for a wholeIyears work in this subject. If theyconsidered R. O. T. C. service our;patriotic duty would they not sanc-tion it with at least a full credit?Should we not in every way try tofollow the lead of the"Faculty? Ifthey accept military training onlyhalf hoartedly should we not con-form?

Your next argument seems to bethat we should drill because we areso well equipped. It is true that weare well equipped,but are wechild-ren to spendour timeplayingsoldierbecause of the "cut littlecompass,"or "Oh, see my nice new whistle,"or"Do come look at my really trulyarmy rifle."

Just because you are ignorant doyou refuse to attend school orstudy? If your appendix shouldhurst would you refuse an opera-tion? Is it any better reasoning tosay: "Why not take an interest init and make the most of the situa-tion," andnot make the most stren-uous effort to remove the "situa-tion."

Drill would not be so unbearableif it occupied only the prescribed!amount of time, but this is not thecase, we have begun to have ourdrillperiod transferred to the after-noon where it is terminated onlybythe supper bell.

The Davidson students broughtR. O. T. C. here by their own vote.Can wenot send itaway in the samemanner? It is at least worth atrial.Yours very truly,

Bloomin' Idiot.

CONCERNINGTHER.O.T.G

For the third yearDavidsonhasimilitary course in her curriculumThe first year evenunder the exist-

I ing conditions of a world war iiamounted to practically nothingconsisting of three hours of drill aweek. The second year our countr

jprepared to use her utmost re;sources for the sake of victory, induced all the students in the firs

1class colleges of America into thS. A. T. C. Here the training wamuch more intensive

—militaryper

feetion being the goal instead oIachievements of scholarship. Thesigning of the armistice ended thewar before the S.A.T.C. wasof anymaterial service and its members

;were soon all discharged.After the Christmas holidays the

students of this college voted tocontinue a mild form of militarytrainingand so the R.O. T.C. wasestablished at Davidson. Drill wasscheduled for an hour a day, threedays a week, and the students re-ceiveda full terms credit that mightbe substituted for any regular col-lege ticket. As a matter of factdrill was conducted five days of theweek due to the fact that it was notbegun till late in the term.

The man detailed by the govern-ment as head of the department ofmilitary science and tactics wasCol. A. H. Meuller, whohas provento the satisfaction of practicallyevery man at Davidson that he is inevery way qualified to hold thisposition. The Davidson CollegeBand is in itself a positive proof ofthis fact.

In this the thirdyear of our mili-tary career we have drilled ourthree full hours a week having acomplete schedule, including suchparticulars as, all ceremonies andclose order drill, extended order, in-spections from rifle to full pack,rifle drill, bayonet training,grenades, setting up exercises, etc.In addition two hours each week ofclass work has been required, thisincludes work in map reading, in-fantry drill regulations, minor tac-tics, interior guardduty, orders andmessages, engineeringand militarycourtesy. In addition

—extra workis arraigned in the afternoons for

target practice, physical examina-tions and field meets. A student be-ing absent from these duties re-ceives a class absence and in ad-dition, whatever his excuse— he isrequired to make up all time he 1misses by punishment tours.

For a years work in this coursethe faculty offers one half of ayears credit. This they say is thebest inducement they can affordwithout lowering the standards ofthe college. Therefore, it wouldseem that there is but one solutionfor this condition. Is there any oneat Davidson willing to suggest thissolution? Iyv

CONSIDERATION.Should a Davidsonman venture tocriticize the Faculty, he is im- ;mediately overwhelmed by multi-tudinous disquisitions anent thel>enevolent generosity of said Fac-ulty. However, hearken to a little

Weather Bureau: The periodical downpour willdescendupon Da-vidson on Saturday night.

Health Department: Flu has flew.

Judicial Department: Everything from the fate of the Kaiser to thenext President of the United States will be definitely decidedinShear-er Hall.

War Department: Presentation nf regimental colors brings up themorale of the army.

WHILE the people of this country are worryingover who shall beour nextPresident wehave some elections of our own which;should command our most careful consideration. March in this

college is not the month for inaugurationbut it is the month for someof the numerous student elections. The first officer to be chosen thisyear is the president of our Y.M.C. A., recognizedby all the studentsas apositionmost difficult to fill and most important to be filled cor-rectly.

Fortunatehave webeen in the selection which has been made forthe past few years. Experience thereforeshould teach us that the rightman can be found if the proper judgment be exercised. What, then, arethe qualifications which should guide us? The ideal is a man who pos-sesses the rare combinationof beinga deeply consecrated Christian, acapable leader, a convincingspeaker, and a congenial companion.Piety,power, popularity, and push should be his attributes.

The question has often beenraised as to whether he should be aministerialstudent. Although the fact that a man has givenhimself tothe ministry is a fair indicationof his consecration,it is not compulsorythat theY president shouldhavedefinitely made this decision. To be asuccessful religious leader, however,a man must have a deepreligiousfervor himself, and unless this is conspicuous he should not be consid-ered.

Begin to think on this question and let your choice be made care-fullyand prayerfully,havingin mind the importance of the positionandthe necessity for securing the most capable leader. Elect a man whocan carry on the Y.M.C. A. work as it has been done in the past, whocan live as an example for his fellow-students, and who can safely leadthem in their Christian work.

SDME colleges center their attention on a weekly publication,otherson amore literarypaper published monthlyor quarterly. There isa thirdclass whichdividesits attentionbetween a literary magazine

and a weeklynewspaper, towhich class Davidson belongs. This yearhas seen the revivaland growth of the Magazine to a place which ithas seldom occupied before. The type of literary work and the regu-larityof publicationhas been far superior to that of any recent year.The old students recognize this fact and appreciate the work of thosewho can claim responsibility for this charge.

As outlined by our professor of English there is n sharp discrimi-nation between the fieldof the Magazine and that of The Davidsonian.The former exists for the purpose of developingliterary talent, of cul-tivating any latent power for writing whichmight existamongthe stu-dents. It would be a mistake in his opinion to put into it too much ofcurrent college topics or by inserting too many jokes for the purposeof attracting the attentionof the reader. The student body should beraised to the level where it could appreciate the literary efforts, insteadof lowering thequality of the Magazine to make it more attractive.

The opportunities for practice in writingasoffered by theMagazinecould prove of invaluable aid to any one whohas entertainedambitionsalong those lines. The work can be helpfully criticised cither by theprofessorof Englishor by the members of the staff. The opinionandjudgment of the students could provide helpful suggestions for futurework. The power of writing interestingly and entertainingly is ines-timably useful even if it is not takenup as a regularvocation.'

For the purposeofstimulatinginterest in literary work there areseveral handsome prizes annually given by various organizationson thehill. The medal given by the Sigma Upsilon is for the man who hasdone the best work for the Magazine during the current year. It isgivenafter the last issuehas beenpublished and it is not too late forany one tocompete. The two literary societies also have fiction con-tests for whichMagazine activitiescan be used. All these exist for thepurpose of encouragingliterary work and shouldbe takenadvantageofby the students both froma standpoint of personal gain and from thedesire to render effective service for theDavidsonCollegeMagazine

OPEN FORUM.

(Continued from page 4)evidence of this quasi consideration— and let the proverbial Davidsonsense of justice determine whetheror not we students have reasonablegrounds for righteous indignation.

The Faculty knew quite well thatJunior Speaking was to be stagedthis week. All of us know that the"Scolastic Kfliciency" of a Juniorduring the week of Junior Speakingis about ninty-ninc per ceut lessthan zero. Yet have some membersof the Faculty shown those torturedJuniors any of the considerationdue them? Indeed not! To thecontrary— Monday, review on Kng-lish 111, IV; Tuesday, reviews onPhilosophy I and on Economics;Wednesday, review on Physics III.There maybe others; in fact, thereareothers among those Juniors whohappen to bo taking Sophomore orFresh tickets.

Again, the orations begin Thurs-day night;but the Juniors arc com-pelled to go on classes both Thurs-day and Friday. Will any fair-mind-edman say that such conditionsarejust?

Of course it is too late now "tokick"— the reviews are passed orflunked. Hut should we not askour Faculty to show us, in the fu-ture, Me of the benign considera-tion that strangers are led to be-lieve we get from them? It maydosome good— however faint andvague such hopes maybe.

LITERARY NEWSPHI. SOCIETY HOLDS BEST

MEETINGOF THEYEAR

Mediocre Debate inEu.— Liston Se-verely Criticises Speaker..

PhiSociety.

Several great things happened onthe hill last Saturdaynight. The I).

C. team showed they were still wildWildcats, Mary I'iJ-kford appearedas picturesque in Rags as she couldhave in silks, tin Hand brought for-ward a new air, and the negativewon in the PhiSociety.

The meeting as a whole might becharacterized as the best of theyear. The speeches were wellout-iined,and full of life and pep. Sev-eral successfully engineeredbusheswere pulled in grand style.

The speakers for the affirmativewere: C. K. Brown, R. R. Deaver,and T. II.Spence,Jr. Opposing thesegentlemen were: L. L. Wilson. E.Hooker and A. L Curric. Thequestion for discussion was: "Re-solved, that the classics should bemade elective in literary courses."The decision was three in favor ofthe negative.

|. M. (iaston and C. N. Morrisondelivered orations. Mr. Morrisongave a very deepand ratherphiloso-phical oration, as may be gleanedfrom his subject : "Where the henscratches, there the worm abides."

The extemporaneous debate on:"Resolved, that the facility shouldallow the students more class andchapel cuts," was argued by M. Mc-Lcod and R. R. Deaver. Mcl.cod,while on the affirmative, evidentlythinks he has enough cuts allowedalready,and Deaver heartily agreedwith him.

The president announced thatthere will be no meeting next Sat-urday night, the class that is due tocome off then will perform the fol-lowing week.

Eu Society.The debate in the Saturday night

Eumeiiean Society was very muchof the ordinarytype. All the speak-ers (except Mitchell, who was ap-pointed extemporaneously) showeda certainamount ofpreparation,butthere was little organization andless effective delivery. Considering,however, that the first four speakerswereFreshmen, the debate did verywell.

Davidson opened the debate forthe affirmative, arguing that manymen wouldbe drivenaway from col-lege if the study of the classical lan-guages were forced upon them. Sor-rels followed with a good speech inwhich he showed that the menwould not be able to learn the oldlanguages as easily as the modernones, because they would not haveas much interest in them. Mitchellthen argued that the classical lan-guages were "not for the masses"as they had no way to make themuseful.

The negative side was a bit weak,especially as the first two speakersdidnot know their speeches and hadto use their notes. Toney assertedthat technicians ought not to cometo literary colleges in the first place,ami that therefore the classical lan-guages ought not to be thrownoverboardon their account. Fewellclaimed that the classical languageswere essential parts of the prepara-tion of professional men. Harrelthen closed witheasily the best de-bate of the evening, in which heshowed that our wholecivilization isfounded on the works of the an-cients and that to root out the studyof their languages wouldbe to ringthe death knell of all the culture,and all the art, and all the refine-ment of our present-daycivilization

All the gentlemen showedup wellin rebuttal,especiallyToney,Sorrelsand Mitchell. The house'voted infavor of the affirmative, but th«judges gave the decision to the neg-ative.

The critic (who, by the way, isR. T.L.Liston) then rose and vio-lently denounced all the speaker:for their signal failure to concoct j

set of issues tomeet his fancy. Fur-thermore,all the gentlemen,it seem-ed, had argued so vaguely that iiwas doubted if any in the house

could state positivelyjust what theydid favor (and, indeed, it is doubt-ful if all of them knew). All weregivencredits,however.

Houlware then gave an excellentoration on "Salesmanship." whichsmacked very strongly of JuniorSpeaking efforts. The critic, forsome unknown reason, was movedto commend the speaker very high-ly. The house was so startled that

'all thought of further business wasabandoned,and the meeting was ad- :journed.

MILLION DOLLARCAMPAIGNAPPROACHINGFINALSTAGE

NinetyThousand Must beRaised in10 Days toReach Goal Set <

Only 10 more working days and$90,000 still to be raised! This was

'the task which confronted the Mil-

',lion Dollar CampaignCommittee on (

the 20thday of this month.Whether <the $QI0,006 alreadypledged is to be <paid and Davidson's endowment

'fund increasedby some $5^0,000 de-

'sends mi the success of their efforts

'in these last few days.

The campaign for the advance- jment of Christian Education inNorthCarolina was begun last July. !At that time the Presbyterians of

'the State were asked to contribute .the sum of $1,000,000 for this cause.Of that amount Davidson was to re-reive 40 per cent, the Presbyterian .Colleges for Women, 45 per cent, .M isston High Schools8per cent, and jUnion Theological Seminary 7 percent. In addition to the $400,000Davidson was to receive from thissource, $100,000 was offered by the iRockefeller Foundation,and $frf),000;.more by Mr. C. E. (iraham, of 1(ireenville, S. C, on the condition ithat the million dollar fund should (

be raised first. All the pledges Cmade were conditiouad on the se- <curing of subscriptions- for the en- 1tire amount by midnight of the firstday of March. J

Since the beginning of the cam-'

paign, Mr. Melvin, the director of *the work, and his corps of assistants Jhave been engagedin the systematic

'canvassingof the entire state. This

'task was completed only a short

'timeago. During the short time re-maining they are asking that all.who for any reason have not been Iapproached or have not made their "

pledges, send in voluntary subscrip- Ilions to aid in tilling out the needed (

amount. (

On Sunday, February 2°, the pas- ■

tors of churches all through the'

state will be requested to make aspecialplea for this cause. The con- ,tributions made on that day willprobably decide whether the cam-paign is to be a success or a failure.The committee believes that the !:Presbyterians of the "Old North |State" will go over the top on that

'occasion as they have so often done !before.

MANY MEDALS TOBEAWARDED THIS SPRING ,

i.Quite a number of medals are to

be awarded this spring to the win- j:ners in the various society and class'contests as wellas for work for the 'Magazine.

A medal is offered by each societyj for the best essay. Another medalis offered for the bestpiece of fictionfrom either society, the medal to be

■ awarded some time in April.The winners in the Fresh-Soph dc-

;bate will be given a medal. A lov-ing cup is also presented annually tothe societywinning this debate. The,| finals in this contest will takeplaceion the 20th of April. Another cov-i!etedmedal is the one offered by theiSigma Upsilon Fraternity for thebest work in the Magazine. The;

Iwork is to be judged as to quantityas well as quality.

Believing that orators are made,not born, the Juniors are rapidly

!getting their speeches in shape for.;the 27th of this month. On that ';,'date the six best speakers will be,. jchosen to compete for the Junior;it Orator's Medal, awarded after the j

finals in June.Considering the large number of.;medals given in the various con-' tests there is a chance for every-!body.
