Oet It At r u A NORTH CAROLINA CLUB REORGANIZES FOR WORK This year will be for the North Carolina Club the most successful in its history, according to its se cretary, Mr. Hobbs. At the open ing meeting last Mondya night sixty students were enrolled as members. Albert Coates is presi dent. Under the able guidance of Dr. Branson, Mr. Hobbs, and Mr. Coates; with the assistance of ex perts from every part of the Unit ed States ; and with University students carrying on investigations of conditions existing in their home counties, the North Carolina Club promises to be one of the livest and most interesting organ izations on the hill. Not only will its work be of interest to North Carolinians, but also to students of civil government all over the country. For this ' work is in a new, unexplored field: County Government. Never has any uni versity or any private individual undertaken the enormous task of carefully examining and studying the various branches of county government. Consequently, county government means nothing at all to the average man, who knows nothing-at all about it. A schedule has been completed that contains twenty-one separate heads, each dealing with some phase of county government. All but three of these heads will be treated at length by 'expert .au thorities, from all over the coun try, and students will study the rest from present conditions in their own counties. It is strange NOTICE TO COUNTY CLUBS A special rate will be made for all County Clubs that will send The Tar Heel to their county high schools. Nothing better can be done to let the high schools keep in close touch with the Universi ty, See me at once that no issue may be missed by them, WATT W.

City, state, and national govern ments have received much atten tion, both from authors and from lawmakers, but county govern ment, important as' it .is, has not been standardized or well organ ized. Few people realize how mueh work is done, and how much money is spent by the counties. Now, however, the North Carolina Club, composed of some of our students, will study this broad sub ject, collect a mass of information concerning it, and give this infor mation to the public, thus estab lishing a basis for intelligent legis lation. The following is a schedule of the studies that the club will make during 1917-18: 1. The County Its Origin, Place, and Functions ; Connections and Confusions in North Carolina. 2. County Officers Legal Du ties and Court-House Customs. 3. County Finances. The An nual Balance Sheet. 4. The County Tax List. Equalization of Taxes. 5. Uniform, County Account ing. The County Budget. 6. Fees, Perquisites and Al lowances. . 7. County-Wide School Sys tems. County School Supervisors. 8. County Library Work in the United States. 9. Co unity Health Work, Whole-time Health Officers, Pub lic Health Nurses, County Hospi tals. 10. County Care of Depen dents The County Home, Out side Belief, Orphans and Widows. 11.'

The Y. M. C. A. announces that it will charge no membership fee this year, but that membership will be based upon moral support or work. In October, however, all Southern students will contribute to the Y. M. C. A. war work fund. The local budget will be combined with the fund here so that instead of the repetition of the hundred and one canvassers of last year there will be only the one. The Y. M. C. A. has been for tunate in securing this year again the Hawaiian Quintet the Lyceum number that was so favorably re ceived last winter. The date of this attraction is not yet definitely known, but the association hopes to announce the date very soon. RURAL SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK In no department of the Y. M. C. A. work do the fellows find a more happy union of service and pleasure than in the Bural Sun day School work. Every Sunday as many as fifty and often times more students go out from the Y. M. C. A. in six different direc tions to meet with the people in the rural districts of Orange coun ty, for an' hour of Bible ' Study. The results of this regular meet ing of these University boys and the people of the county communi ties are beyond the bounds of es timation. The boys carry to the community the vigor, the progress and the eagerness of the campus atmosphere, and they bring back the stability, the earnestness, and the responsibility that is learned by direct contact with the essen tially hard foundations of 7ifc. They link the community with the campus and carry the campus beyond its walls. The Y. M. C. A. extends a most cordial invitation to all the new men to take part in this interest ing work. Anyone desiring to go to one of the communities next Sunday afternoon will please be at the Y. M. C. A. on that after noon at 2:15. The dignity of an N. C. O.'s' position suddenly suffered deroga tion when the news got around that a corporal would have to dig along with the rest of the common herd in fact, act as an example to them, and trench warfare has taken on a new meaning for some of the men in battalion assembled. PROFESSORS ARE HUMAN BEINGS Such was the startling theme of a short talk in Chapel Wednes day morning by Dean Stacy, when he pointed out to the new men the chief phase of Democracy here on the Hill. "The University is not made up of two parties, one con sisting of the students and the other of the members of the fa culty, but all work together for the mutual welfare. The day of strained relations between faculty and students is a thing of the past. It is the duty and privilege of the student to call on members of the faculty, and a pleasure for those gentlemen to receive the visits of the men under them. Do not think that the practice of calling on- your professor can be construed into an effort to "boot" the instructor. The bootable man holds no place on the Faculty of the University. Cultivate the gentlemen who in struct you, and you will be sur prised to see how it clears up the clouds of misunderstanding, and adds to the pleasure of attending and living at the University." Francis Bradshaw spoke a few words to the Freshmen on the sub ject of Literary Societies. "If you will question the man who tells you that the Literary Society mean little or nothing to him, ypu will find that he is generally the man who has not taken a whole hearted part in the work of the Society, and who has shirked even the tasks assigned him. Men train ed to talk will go further in their professions than men who miay have more ability, but who are (Continued on Page 4)
