UNUSUAL FEATURE AT SOCIETY MEET Negative Team In Debate Refuses To Argue And Agrees With Affirmative Did you ever hear of the negative side of a debate turning over and agreeing with the affirmative? That is what happened at the meeting of the Clariosophic literary society last Tuesday night. The team appointed to uphold the negative of the query: "Resolved, That The General Assembly Should Pass The Workmen's Compensation Bill Pending Before That Body," failed to appear so N. A. League and Smith Long were chosen to serve in their stead. The affirmative team, John Ballenger and W. I. Latham, presented arguments which were almost irrefutable. When the negative's time came to speak, instead of arguing the query, they agreed with the affirmative and made talks defending the affirmative. The affirmative was awarded the decision without a dissenting vote. C. F. Price and Karl Taylor delivered declamations to complete the literary program. C. L. Godshall, J. M. Windham, J. H. Galloway, and R. M. Newton were new members initiated into the society Tuesday. During the business session W. R. Lewis made a motion that all members be required to pay their dues before the end of the present administration. Earl Taylor moved that this motion be tabled. The society refused to table the motion but when its constitutionality was questioned Mr. Lewis withdrew his motion. At the next meeting of the society Air. Lewis, who is secretary of the society, says he will propose an amendment to the constitution which will compel dues to be paid at the beginning of each term and the initiation igc to be paid before the member .?? initiated. <-> E.

MADDEN IS MATRON Wallace Thompson Infirmary Was Constructed In 1908 At Cost Of $15,500 It was during the administration of Major Benjamin Sloan that Mrs. Annie Madden cast her lot with the University as matron of its infirmary. There have been five presidents since then. At that time there was no nice hrick building known as the Wallace Thompson Infirmary. The house on College street which is now the residence of Dr. Patterson Wardlaw was the infirmary until 1008 when Miss Ann Jeter gave the present building as a memorial to her nephew, Wallace 1 hompson. The building was erected at the cost of $15,500. "I've been here 25 years, 26 in September," Mrs. Madden says. "It's just like home to me now, I can't imagine anything different." There were only about 200 students at Carolina then but with the present large student body the infirmary now averages 50 calls a day. There are normally 28 beds but during the "flu" epidemic last year there were 37 patients at one time. "We specialize on diet. The food is good and when a student is here lie can count on three good meals every day." Mrs. Madden makes out the menus and sees that the meals are appetizing. ^ She has two assistants, Mrs. C. B. Copeland, and A. B. Preacher, a student. Dr. Barney Heyward is the physician in charge. so often wrought into stale, outworn, and exhausting lucubrations?are here alive with right reason, lofty feeling and genuine religion."
