FIRST MEETING OF Y. M. C. A.
Two Ideas of Freedom One Defying!
Law the Other Acting in Harmony
With It. '
The first meeting of the Y, M.;
C. A. was held in Gerrard Hall
Tuesday night with President
Graham on the platform. The
meeting was conducted by W. P.
Fuller Atter the devotional

very much appreciated. 1 ,
President Graham's subject wai
the ''Challenge of Freedom." In
the beginning of his speech he
gave a very clear discussion of
what true freedom is, and the
proper use of freedom; saying
that in freedom there is an abun1
dance of opportunities and inspi
ration, especially to the college
man. This he says is based on a
paragraph which he read from
Galatians: "You Imve been call
ed unto liberty; only use not lib
erty for an occasion of the flesh."
There are two ideas that men
have had and do have of freedom
and these two ideas are in strong
contrast. The first is that "Law
is an external restricted,'' and
that "freedom consists in defying
it." The second idea is that
"Law is internal" and that "iree
dom consists in acting in har
mony with it." Pres. Graham
then showed, how efficiency and
happiness, the resnlt and the
mood of success, would come from
following this deepest standard
In continuing he said that the
development of this second idea
marks the course of the progress
of civilization and our own per
sonal progress. It illustrated in
every phase of activity, in nature,
business, mechanics, athletics and
government.
Each idea produces its type of
man in doing the work of the
world, and the world gets its work
done under the law either by
slaves, controlled externally by
statutes, fines, punishment, jails,
- repression and it is perfunc
tory or bad work.
Or the world gets its work done
by free men, who have discovered
that law is first of all internal.
The result is freedom, power,
happiness, truly creative work.

of the Student Council met and
organized. This was a rather
late organization, but it was not
necessary for any action on the
part of the council because of the
peaceful and encouraging open
ing of the University.
A. R. Newsome was elected by
the student body to the council.
The representative from the Law
class, is B. C. Trotter; from the
Medical class, G. C. Singletary;

McDuffy. George W. Eutsler,
President of the Senior class is
President of the council; McDan
iel Lewis, President of the Junior

more class is the representative
from the second year men. At
the meeting last night W. P.

the council.
The Greater Council will soon
be organized. This Greater

of the Student Council with other
representatives of the various
classes in the Academic depart
ment and the professional schools.
Other members besides those on
the Student Council are Dewitt

catcher; pitchers Watkins, Wil
liams and Aycock; infielders Pat
terson, Lewis and Hardison; and
outfielder Hubert Bailey. . All of
the boys have spent a good part
of the summer playing ball and I
are now in good shape. Most'
every afternoon some of them are4

The prospects for new men are
very encouraging, there being
QUERY FOR HIGH
SCHOOL DEBATE
Committee Decides on Mer
chant Marine Question.
COMMITTEE AT WORK.
The query that will be discuss
ed this'year by the schools having
membership in the High School
Debating Uuion of North Caro
lina is: Resolved, That the
United States should adopt the
policy of subsidizing its merchant
marines engaged in the foreign
trade". This query was decided
upon after considerable deliber
ation by the committee from the
University, and it is thought
that wide-spread interest through
out the State will attend its dis
cussion by the school boys and
gins. i nis interest will no
doubt be heightened because of
the fact that the European war
has focused the attention of the
United States upon foreign trade
prospects, and the need and possi
bilities for an effective American
merchant marine.
The High School Debating
Union is carried on under the
auspicies of the Di and Phi
Literary societies and the bureau
of extension of the University.
Since its inauguration two years
ago it has met with splendid suc
cess. Two comprehensive State
wide contest were participated in
by one hundred and fifty schools
and sixhundred student debaters,
and it is a safe estimate that ful
ly thirty thousand people heard
the discussions over the State on
the question of the initiative and
referendum ror North Carolina.
It is expected that the enrollment
of the schools will be larger this
year than last and the general
results of the debate greater.
Every secondary and high
school in the State is eligible to
become a member of the Union
and participate in the debate.
The method of procedure will be
the same as that for the past
years, tvery school mat enrolls
will be grouped with two others
for a triangalar debate, each
school putting out two teams,
one on the affirmative and the
other on the negative. Every
school which wins both of its tri
angular debates will send both
teams to Chapel Hill to contest
for the State championship and
the Aycock Memorial Cup. The
triangular debates will be held
throughout the State the latter
part of next March and the final
contest at Chapel Hill early in
April.
The committee which has
charge of this work for the liter
ary societies and bureau of exten
sion of the University is composed
of: N. W. Walker, of Chapel Hill,
Chairman; E. R. Rankin, of Gas
tonia, Secretary; Dr. L. R. Wil
son, director of the bureau of ex
tension, Chapel Hill; B. L. Field, '
of Pleasant Garden; C. B. Woltz, 1
of Dobson; G. A. Mebane, Jr., of
Spray; Phil Woolcott, of Raleigh;
Wade Kornegay, of Chapel Hill;
and R. B. House, of Thelma, N.

I BAND ORGANIZES.
Charlie Coggins the Moving
Spirit in the Movement
for a Band.
Wednesday afternoon a num
ber of students met tc organize a
band for the coming year. Char
ley Coggins is the leadiug spirit
in the movement. He says the
outlook for a good band is very
good, that there islotsofgood
band material uow in college,
and that the main thing to do now
is to gerthe boys interested and
have them come out for practice.
In about a week or more a canvas
of the campus will be made for
the purpose of getting student
subscriptions for the pecuniary
support of the tooting tumult.
The baud is trying to get Mr.
Wilbur Royster to instruct them
and help in the entire organiza
tion and playing. Mr. Royster
has led the Carolina band before.
He is the best college band in
structor in the South. We need
a good band, especially at the
football games which will be
played here during the next few
weeks. During the University
Day celebration the band will
come in very handy.
At the first meeting there were
twenty-five candidates. There
were six or seven cornets, five
clarionets, three basses, four ptc
olos, three trombones,, five drum
mers, and some altos.
Tennis Association Elects Officers.
At a meeting of the Tennis
Association held Monday, W. T.
Ragland was elected President;
and E. Y. Keesler, Treasurer.
A campaign was started for a
larger membership partly, and
indeed largely, on account of
needed improvements. The fee
is $1.50, payable in advance!
The proceeds of fees to go to im

Lost and Found.
The Y. M.' C. A. has establish
a lost and found bureau under the
direction of J. A. Jones, Jr, He
will beat the Y. M. C. A. every
afternoon from 2.10 to 2:25 to
receive found articles, to take
account of reported losses, and to
return lost articles which have
been found. The hearty co-operation
of the entire student body
is requested to make this bureau
fill a great distinct need here. A
pair of gloves, a knife, and a
bunch of keys are now listed.
gaged in notifying the different
schools throughout the State of
the query, and in working up a
comprehensive bulletin of argu
ments, outlines, and references
for the use of the schools in the
preparation of the debates. This
bulletin will be ready for publi

RICHMOND COLLEGE
HERE SATURDAY
Carolina Opens Season With
Game With Richmond
Boys. Expect to
PROBABLE LINE-UP.
Last Tear's Team Will Start off, but
There is a Probability of Many
Changes. Team in Oood Shape.
Carolina opens her football sea
son Saturday with a game with
Richmond College. The team is
in fairly good shape and should
run up a considerable score on
the boys from Richmond. It is
said that the team from Richmond
College this year is a lighter one
than usual, while to offset this
disadvantage in weight they have
a faster bunch ot players. Caro
lina considers this a practir.
game but will make sure that s!t ;
does her best to come out on
again. "
The boys have been scrimmag
ing daily in spite of the hot
weather and some of them have
shown the wear and tear of tlu
hot contests of every afternoon,
Long scrrimmages have not been
undertaken yet on account of th'
heat.
The coaches are strong bel '
ers in the open style of play c
are working steadily trying
find good passers and develop i
men who can handle passes. Lc.
and short forward passes hav.
marked the scrimmages so far
and some spectacular runs around
the ends have been made, due in
part to the good interference of
the backfield.
As yet no regular kicker has
been decided upon. Foust is yet
indisposed because of sciatica
rheumatism in his leg and is not
kicking as accurately nor as far
as he is accustomed to. Big
Jones is still improving in punt
ing. Coleman gets off the best
punts on the field but is really
too light for a regular position in
the backfield where he is trying
out.
The probable lineup for the
opening game will be as follows:
Centre Tandy.
Right guard Foust or Jones.
Left guard Cowell.
Right Tackle John Jones,
Gay, Tennant, or Hatnbley.
Left tackle Ramsay.
Right end Homewood.
Left end Grimsley or Nichol
son. Quarterback Allen.
Right half Fuller.
Left half Capt. Tayloe.
Full back Ervin.
These men will in all proba
bility start the game, the coach
es starting last year's varsity men
in every position possible. But
there willbemany changesduring
thegame because some of the new
men are showing much better
class of football than the cl.
ones.
