SCHEDULE NOW
ARRANGED FOR
RACQUET TEAM

Wilson, Coleman, Fair, Gaston,

Line-Up
Members of the tennis squad are now
fighting among themselves for &aces
on the team. From the present looks of
the players and recent upsets no ones
place is cinched. The team will be pick
ed soon and some hard battles will be
fought by those aspiring to represent
Carolina on the courts.
The tournament to select the men for
the squad to be composed of ten ended
last Friday. A new plan has been inau
gurated by the manager whereby the
men will play regularly among them
selves every day. Each still has a rating
which he can change by winning or los
ing. A man's standing in the list repre
sents his chances of making the team.
Anyone outside the squad and wishing
to make it has a chance to do so by
piaying number ten and defeating him
two out of three matches.
During the past week Bill Boyd rose
into the ranks by defeating W. J. Thom
as. Bill Varn drop1Aed out of the con
test thus Boyd holds number nine and
Thomas retains ten. Gaston improved
his standing by defeating "Little Bill"
Cain and now rates number four. Other
members have changed their standing
little but are still fighting. The squad
alpresent is composed of the following
men-Wilson, Fair, Gaston, Cain, Beat
tie, Ready, C. Thomas, Boyd, W. J.
Thomas.
Calhoun Thomas. manager of the
tennis team, has completed the sche
dule for the approaching net season.
The schedule calls for eight matches
and two tournaments. Three of the
matches are to be played at home and
five on the road. The tournaments are
the state meets at Greenville, with
Furman as host, and the Southern
Conference meet at Atlanta with
Georgia Tech as host.
D)iscussing the prospects, the mana
ger said that the singles players will
come from the following players, un
less some upset presents itself; Wil
son. Coleman, Fair, Gaston, Cain and
Beattie. For doubles there are two
outstanding combinations; Wilson
Beattie and Fair-Coleman.

Are There Ghosts In
Clariosophic Hall?
So it Seems.
Evidence Points Strongly To
That Fact, Says Would-be
Orator
Are there spooks in the Clariosophic
hall? From several recent occurances
it appears that there are.
After the crowd at the reception
had disapeared Tuesday night and the
lights were out one of the members
decided that something might have
been left in the hall. With the idea of
seeing what could be found he return
ed and on his way up the.once creaky
stairs found that others had already
preceded him. He declares that he
heard them talking.
He found no one when he reached
the anteroom, but he did find evidence
that someone had been in the hall in
the last minute. He was accompained
and didnot leave so rapidly as he might
otherwise have done.
The same member went to the hall
the next night on another mission. He
saw an overcoat and began to inveti
gate. The lights snapped out. Needless
to say he left with the speed of the
wind.
Probably the ghosts of these persons
portrayed on the wall had become an
gered at the attempted oratory Tues
(lay night and had set out to rid the
society of those whom they considered
would never hold a place of prominence
in forensic lines because of their too
ready disposition to be funny rather
than serious.
If this was their purpose they could
not have chosen a more effective way
of putting it into effect.
Who is to be the next victim?

Karesh and Thomas
Debate Pittsburgh
Argue Against Separate Depart
ment for U. S. Military and
Naval Air Forces
Joseph Karesh of Columbia and Cal
houn Thomas of Beaufort, were chosen
last Friday to represent Carolina in the
University of Pittsburgh debate to be
held on Tuesday night, April 6.
The query for the debate is "Re
solved, That the Military and Naval
Air Forces of the United States should
be United in a Separate and Indepen
dent Department with a Minister in
the Cabinet." Carolina is to uphold
the negative.
At the end of the debate, the audi
ence will be asked to vote and see if
they agree with the judges' decision.
The ballot will probably be the first
time that this has been tried at the
University, and probably in the state.
Thomas is a senior law student, and
a menmber of the Clariosophic, while
Karesh is a freshman of the Euphra
dian society.
