Dr. Hamilton then delivered the main speech of the evening. He spoke on the need of i he State for a new constitution and told how this club could forward that movement. He said in part: "The statute law, contrary to general belief, is not the important thing it is constitutional law Our constitution was made by selfish and often ignorant carpet baggers; therefore there are many tauits in it. i tie cruet of these are special legislation, the lack of a definite responsibility of State power, inequalities of taxation, the inflexibility of judiciary laws, and the absurdities in our educational provisions.

The way to change all this is to educate public senHment." Y.M. A. ENTERTAINS IN HONOR OF BIBLE STUDY GROUPS The Y. M. C.

Carolina is Too Fast and Piles Up Big Scores in Each Game NEITHER OPPONENT STRONG ON DEFENCE Carrington and Long Shoot Many-Goals and Tillett's Floor Work and Dodging Are Always Sensational The basketball team defeated Davidson on the home floor Monday night by the lop-sided score of 42 to 8. During- the first half Carolina made 16 points, while the Davidson team failed to score a single point, and in fact did not score at all until the last few minutes of play. Carolina scored almost at will during the last half, running up26 points to their opponent's 8. From the first tip off to the timekeeper's final call the ball stayed continually in Carolina territory. Carrington and Long made the majority of points, shooting eight and six goals respectively.

OF VENUS" 7, 1913, At the last meeting of the Greater Council several matters of importance were discussed. It was decided that the present Presidents of the Sophomore and Junior classes continue in- office as members of the Student Council until the students Jat large and the representative elected by the Council are chosen and in- stalled, this is to insure a strong, working Council at the first of each year. Also it was decided to submit the following resolution to the.

student body for its consideration. "Resolved; that the representative chosen by the Council itself be not limited to the Senior class as heretofore, but that any old member of the council who is then a Junior, Senior or a Professional student be eligible." This is intended to insure the presence ot an experienced man on the Council. The committee appointed to seek some way of building up Athle ics reported, and recomend-ed that an organized effort be made to promote coached athletics in the State Public High Schools, as sixty-three percent of our men come, almost untrained, from them. It was thought most practicable to forward this plan through the County Clubs. SATELLITES jj KSa235l GERRARD HALL, FRIDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY.
