1912 AT ITS FARE- FAREWELL TO JUNIOR PROM $500 MUST BE THE OLD CENTRAL Mighty Principles of Democracy Triumph; 1913 Maintains Its Unenvied Reputation Junior Prom is a thing of -the past like the Central Hotel and other unmitigated evils. The class of l')13 as risen in its might and declared thatthisyear at least what has been regarded as the most important event of Junior Week shall not take place. Last Saturday, February 3, by a vote of 40 to 27 junior class abolished the Prom. The fight over the question was started by R. W.

Scott with a motion that the Prom be done away with, giving chief; reason the fact that a majority, of thejunior and senior classes do not dance. T. J. Hoover followed this up with more oratory; the opposite view was upheld with stirring eloquence by Walter Stokes and M. T.

Spears. When the motion Was put to the class the vote stood as shown above. The leaders of the opposition based their contention on principle alone- the principle that a dance fs not representative. They earnestly desired to e-ive the seniors something, though their ideas were a little hazy. A sug gestion that each senior be given two Pitkwick tickets was voted down.

Likewise "Beck" Taylor's motion to present each senior with fifty cents. Finally a committee was appointed to see if some appropriate gift could not be decided upon. Meanwhile among the seniors there is weep ing and wailing and gnashing of teeth together with some The election of marshals was uext taken up. F. H.

Kennedy won over I. R.jWilliams for chief marshal by the close vote of 32 to 31. His assistants will be I. R. L.

Hamilton, J. S. Hunter, J. Y-tCaldwell, J. W.

Carter and D. J. Walker. The question of the class banquet was postponed until the committee appointed to settle upon a gift for the seniors should report. I).

L. Rights was elected his torian in place of M. L. Ritch who did not return to college. BASEBALL HOTEL IS NO MORE Workmen, Have Demolished the One-Time Favorite Show Room of Clothing Agents DORMITORY TO RISE IN ITS PLACE Handsome, Three-Story, Living Room House Another Step in the Administration's Plans for the Future of the University The old, un pain ted, ugly, and obstructive Central Hotel is ih in of the past.

No longer from its dilapidated porch and uncomfortable show rooms will the alluriny displays of merchant tailors beckon and entice the unwary. No longer in front of its cellar will the Bogerspread their tempting: "peanuts, apples, bananas, chewing gum, Hersey In place of the old wooden bulk a new dormitory, brick, three stories hisrh, modern and comfortable in every detail. will arise ami mc hjhm step will have been taken in building1 the greater University. The first step was taken last June when the Medical building, named Caldwell Hall in honor of the first president of the University, was begun. This was the first building to be erected out of the new appropriation for building purposes made by the last legislature.

The building Will be finished by the end of February. It will be dedicated on the 8th of next May with exercises that will bring prominent medical educators from all over the country to the University, The building will afford laboratories for histology, pathology, bacteriology, pharmacology, physiology, atanomy, besides lecture rooms and a library. For a time the School of Pharmacy will also be housed in the building. The opening of the new building will release six rooms for lecture purposes in the old Medical Building, and ten dormitory rooms in the New West Building. Nothing could have been done which would have relieved the cramped condition of the University in more ways.

The benefit to the School of Medicine and the impetus which will come to the department is incalculable. The next great step was taken when the Board of Trustees purchased from their respective owners the two portions of the Central Hotel property at the west ot the north front of thc campus and opposite the University Inn, and the plot of four acres south of the west entrance to the campus. The new dormitories will be erected on the first of these lots; the School of Edu- The RAISEDBYSTUDENTS To Keep Bloody Nat and Charles A.

The entertainment is composed of mystery, wit. music, comedy, art, and science. Brush brings with him but one assistant, but be carries with him a large quantity of baggage and stage set tings that will transform the Ger rard Hall The inter tainment will be well worth the price of admission.

WELL BANQUET Seniors Gather to Associate, to Celebrate, and to Communicate THE AFFAIR AT THE INN A SUCCESS Friendship and Good Fellowship, Tinged Just Enough With the Sad ness of Farewell, Draw the Seniors Into Closer Union Last Friday night in the dining hall of the University Inn the senior class assembled together for the last banquet of its urdergaaduate days.

Under the spell of a tempting menu, the influenceof good speeches, and the aroma ot fragrant tobacco the members of the class loosened tip, the feeling of friendship grew closer, and the sense of brother hood and comradeship keener. The joy of living spread itself abroad. The i i of 1912 mounted high. Yet over all was a tinge of sadness, a feeling of farewell. In almost every speech was the theme, whether expressed or not, day of our depar ture is drawing nigh." The spirit and the purpose of a senior banquet were admirably expressed by Toastmaster Bob Freeman.

They are to associate, to celebrate, and to communicate. They are to strengthen the ties of friendship and to set loose the currents of fellowship; to cele brate our superiorities and our victories, our achievements and successes of four years life at Carolina; finally, to communicate our best ideas and thoughts, to discuss our best ideas and purposes for the future that lies before us. The banquet in every wny and for eveaW' Cuesent fulfilled its purpose. 1 begin with, the toastmaster was a peach. He presided with g-race and with wit and jolity.

His every phase watt furptiniis TTumor. notired l'romhiin even as doth water from a duckling. His happy intro ductions did much to turn the-crowd alousc. And then the menu was a sweet satisfaction to the souls and othcr parts of the hungry. Added to all this the speeches were good, short and to the point.

Professor Williams was the first of the facufty members to speak. He talked about football, and for the reason, lie said, that its con dition, almost alone of the many activities carried out Here, is' not satisfactory. He spoke not in the spirit of criticism but for the good of the sport. He urged, in the first place, that the seniors and the other students of the University be on the lookout for good material from the preparatory schools of the State. In this connection he mentioned the case of a good football player in one of the State prep schools who when asked by an alumnus during a passing conversation to come here, had replied that that was the first time Caralina had been mentioned to him as a de- Continued on Fourth Page.
