! LATIN-AMERICAN CLUB
HOLDS FIRST MEETING
The Latin-American club was
reorganized Thursday night with
a slight change in' their program.
This year they propose, centraliz
ing on one or more aspects of the
Latin-American questions, with a
more economic idea in view. Re
alizing that the trade relations be
tween the two countries have in
creased to a very great extent dur
ing the past year, much time will
be devoted to the opportunities of
college men in these countries. In
formal meetings will be held every
two weeks, and two or three prom
inent speakers are expected dur
ing the year. The club is open to
all students who are interested in
South American subjects.
The students who represented
the University at Blue Ridge' this
summer tell of an interesting
prosecution of Secretary Brad
shaw. Tier was tried on Stunt
Nifht for being suspected of ma
trimony, found guilty, and sen
tenced to be thrown in tho pool.
That night after supper before a
crowd of several hundred dele
gates the judgment was executed a
la stiff collar and pal beach, de
spite the chilling iciness of tho
mountain waters.
PICTURES OF ANT-ARCTIC
EXPLORATIONS TO BE HERE
SIR DOUGLAS MAWSON'S TRIP
WILL BE VIVIDLY DEPICTED
IN CHAPEL
"I've never been there but I saw
it in tho movies." Everybody says
that with the conscious air of hav
ing had if not actual experience at
least a, mighty ; good, imitation.
Traveling by moving, picture film
is quick and convenient, and there
is no, place under the sun that
can not be visited for five, ten or
twenty-five cents. Cook's tourists
traverse the globe in about three
months more or less, probably less
but some well known film com
panies can reel off the same trip
in two or three hours. And the
spectator is saved not only the
time and expense but the hard
ships of the traveling.
The Ant-arctic ,'. regions with
their infinite stretches of snow and
ice, their monstrous animals the
vastness, the terrible silent cold -fasten
upon the imagination. The
most graphic description could not
be adequate. Every man wants to
see it all for himself. If he can
not do that, let him have it actu
ally depicted, brought before his
vision on the moving picture
screen.
This has been admirably done.

U. N. C. GRADUATE SCHOOL
GREATLY INCREASES ROLL
111 STUDENTS REPRESENTING
24 COLLEGES, 10 STATES
AND JAPAN
One hundred and eleven stu
dents, representing 24 colleges and
universities are enrolled in the
University of North Qarolna grad
uate School for the session of
1916-17. This is an increase of
27 over the enrollment on Novem
ber 20, 1915, and nearly double
the' number, enrolled i in 1914.
Forty-two of these men did their
undergraduate work at the Uni
versity of North Carolina. The
others represent 10 states, and one
foreign country, J apan. Several
come from noted colleges and uni
versities, among which are Prince
ton, Wellesley, and Vanderbilt.
The celebrated Waseda University
of Japan is represented by two
graduates who, after a thorough
consideration of American col
leges j decided that North Carolina
was the best place to learn Ameri
can business, government, politics
and ideals.
Wake Forest is second in num
ber of students enrolled in the
graduate school here, having 16.
Other North Carolina colleges rep
resented are: Guilford, 9;. Elon,
9; Trinity, 6; Davidson," 3; A. &
M., 1. The other .states most
largely represented are Tennessee,
Virginia, South Carolina and
Georgia.
The graduate students are tak
ing a growing interest in courses
dealing with present political and
social Avelfare. More of those who
are now at the university are
majoring in- economics than in any
other subject, with chemistry a
close second. Rural economics,
English, and .. philosophy are all
popular courses. Most of the men
are candidates for the degree of
M. A. or , M. S., but three are
working for the advanced degree

HUNDREDS OF ALUMNI WILL
JOIN CELEBRATION OCT. 12
: The exercises ou October 12
will commemorate the 123rd year
of the University's existence.
On this day hundreds of alum
ni all over , the state and country
will meet to commemorate the
birthday of their Alma Mater.
The Alumni Committee is sending
out circular letters to the alumni
reminding them of the significance
of University Day.
Dr. Edwin Mims, head of the
department of English of Vander
bilt University will be the princi
pal speaker. His coining will be
looked forward to by the students
with the greatest interest, not on,ly
because of his reputation as a man
of letters but because of the fact
that he held the chair of English
here at the University before go
ing to Vanderbilt.
At the University of Kansas
(largely co-educational)- the coach
has announced that he hoped no
students will have djates at the
games.
How about the pair of "sugar
plums," coachey ?
FOOTBALL TEAM OFF
N GOOD CONDITION FOR GAME TODAY
Warming-up Practice Held in Philadelphia
Friday Afternoon
CAROLINA 20 WAKE FOREST 0
Carolina's impenetrable . line
played a great part in securing her
20 to 0 victory over Wake Forest
last Saturday. Not once during
the whole game did Wake Forest
make first down. On the other
hand Carolinas backfield possessed
a drive that resulted in ; four
touchdowns not from spectacular
runs, but hard line drives in suc
cession. ' K'
Folger played a nice game at
fallback' and seemed to have an
aggressive spirit throughout the
game. The work of Fitzsimmons,
Bellamy, Williams and Johnson in
the backfield shows great promise
for future games.
Tayloe and Ramsey held their
own in the unyielding line. Most
of the team is made up. of men
who did not play varsity ball last
year. Harrell, Ingram and Proc
tor need not be ashamed of their
work.
In the last quarter, Carolina
ended with an entirely new team

FIRST GLEE CLUB TRYOUTS
FORECAST SEASON SUCCESS
The glee club try-out last week
proved very encouraging, accord
ing to the statement of the direc
tor, The voices were so unusually
good, that, it was only with great
difficulty - that the chorus .was
chosen. ; Several are expected to
prove themselves able to do solo
work, though it is too early to
make any such official announce
ment as yet. The talent for the
mandolin club proved equal to
that of the chorus, and most of
the mandolinists will be able to
do chorus work also,. Director
Harris now has his practices go
ing in full sway, and he feels safe
in saying that the glee club this
year promises to be one of the best
that the University has sent out in
the last few years.
FIRST YEAR RESERVE MEN
HOLD 'VARSITY TO 6-6 TIE
The fifst year reserve, team has
been tearing things up this week.
On Monday they invaded the sa
cred territory of Emerson Field
and allowed the scrubs to win. 18
9, although the scrubs were scared
to death at times. The next day
those same Freshies held the Var
sity to a 6-6 score. The last game
broke the first year team up a little
however, four men being more or
less disabled. Herty, Spruill,
Lewis, "and Ranson were the stars
for the reserves.
The first year team is a good,
fast, fighting one. They have been
hitting the dummy and bucking
machine with the same regularity
as the Varsity and are in good con
dition. Coaches Peacock and Dan
iells are confident of getting them
in finished shape before the first
game.
TO PRINCETON!
27 MEN MAKE FIRST
TRIP OF THE SEASON
COACH KLUTTZ MEETS SQUAD
ON WAY AND GOES TO
'''""'' : SEE CONTEST '
With twenty-seven men in prime
condition the squad left last Thurs
day for Princeton. 'Secret prac
tice : was held Wednesday and
Thursday so that the team might
perfect their plays without obser
vation. While the first team did
not go very well the first two days
of the week, they showed marked
improvement the last two days be
fore thetrip -so much so, that the
scrubs could not : stand against
them. Tayloe and Grimes' are back
in the game ' re-strengthening the
line again. '
For the past week the ends have
been bucking the line machine in
order to develop the tackle-fighting
side of the wing material. The
line has been drilled in breaking
through and blocking , kicks, and
through this both Coleman and
Folger have developed - the' speed
and distance of their punts.' Cap1-...
tain i Tandy's toe also seems to
be in trim condition. 1
A spirit of the highest optim
ism prevails in the squad over to-1,
day's game, and the coaches feel
the men will easily lose the jinx
of a bad week's start. ' ' '
In making the trip the ' team ;

that the fire was in Central Hotel
