Number5 Tar Heed EMILIE ROSE KNOX CHARMS AUDIENCE AGAIN IN GERRARD MISS KNOX PROVES EVEN MORE PLEASING THAN LAST YEAR PLAYS AGAIN FROM DOORWAY Not since Miss Emilie Rosa Knox's appearance in Gerrard Hall last year has that auditorium been the scene of so warm an ovation as was given her there on Monday night. Although the program consisted in compositions usually referred to as "over my head," the rendition by Miss Knox was appreciated beyond any doubt, as was evidenced by applause of the encore variety in each case. The opening number, concerto No. 2 in D minor, afforded unusual proof that Miss Knox, though quite a young artist, has a consummate tech nique. Miss Knox carries her perfect balance of technique and interpreta tion to a point only obtained by genius. It mattered not whether the composition was of the classic type which sometimes taxes the usual hearer to catch the melody or whether a well-known air, the effect obtained by Miss Knox was beyond question. Probably the two most appreciated numbers of the program were "Ave Marie," and the "Minuet" of Paderewski and Kreisler. In the latter, Miss Knox's technique was again at its best. "Thois Meditation" was played by request and applauded warmly. After the last number on the pro gram, the encore was so insistent that there was no denying it; so Miss Knox came back and played quite a successful medley of "That Naughty Waltz" and "Hawaiian Moonlight." After an applause that sounded like a storm, she made a true grand finale by playing "Roses of Picardy." . Theircame the moment that had been talked of ever since the announcement that Miss Knox would make her second appearance. The crowd gathered in front of the door and gave organized yells and cheers for her to come and play from the doorway.. Her playing there last year had not been forgotten, and she could - not get away without standing there again. So she came and stood there, smiling, and then someone called out "Love Nest" and she played it. Then she played "Dear . Old Pal of Mine," Humoresque," and some others, then still smiling she held up her hand in a gesture that said she had enjoyed it all and bid every one a gracious good night. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL SQUAD HAS WEEK OF HARD PRACTICE COACHES PROCTOR, PARKER, AND SHAW PUT FRESHMEN THRO FUNDAMENTALS A squad of between sixty and seventy men has turned out for freshman football, and it has been announced that between fifty and sixty of this number will be eauiDDed wifch uniforms onH will remain permanently on the squad during the season. Coaches "Mel" Parker, Knox Proctor, John Shaw, and other assistants, have been carry ing the men through the fundamen tals, and seem to think the prospects good for a winning freshman team. Passing, .falling on the ball, and practice on getting quick starts, has been taking the time of the coaches this week, and it is expected that by the latter part of next week the squad will be scrimmaging. There appears to be an abundance of good material among the first; year men this year, and a few real heavy men 'are on the squad. It is still too early to size up what kind of team the freshmen will have, but at present prospects are exceedingly encouraging. $1570 RAISED BY "Y" IN FIRST DAY OF CAMPAIGN OVER THE TOP BY FRIDAY CASH RAISED WEDNESDAY NIGHT EXCEEDS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN OF LAST YEAR MEANS MORE EFFICIENT WORK With returns for the first day's canvass announced as $1,570.22, the Y. M. C. A. Financial Campaign, which began Wednesday, October 6 at 8:30 is rapidly mounting toward its quota of $5,140. After ten days preparatory advertising, Jesse Har per Erwin, drive manager, and his corps of canvassers, all members of the student body, have succeeded in rolling up a larger sum after one day's work than the entire amount raised last year for all purposes. At midnight, Wednesday, 387 men had subscribed for an average of $4.07 each, with over half of the student body and faculty to be heard from. The pledges have gone beyond ex pectations. Present indications point toward Smith Building as the dormi tory which will have the highest record. Secretary Wunsch is greatly pleased by the returns. All money spent will be under the supervision of an advisory committee composed of faculty members and the direct care of Dick Falls, Treas urer. The increased budget will enable the old book exchange to be renovated and equipped as a lounge room, pro vide for Carolina's missionary in China, and enable the "Y" to hold frequent socials and dances for dif ferent groups on the campus. A dance given for South Building, it is stated, will be no myth. With the increased budget the Y. M. C. A., whose activities heretofore have been cramped a bit for lack of funds, should be able to extend its work to other fields. With the campaign continuing through tomorrow and into tomor row night, it is believed that the Y. M. C. A. will "go over the top" with a rush. SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL CARRIES ARTICLES BY FACULTY MEMBERS ELISHA MITCHELL SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL CARRIES THREE AR TICLES BY FACULTY The June number of the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Journal carries three articles by members of the University faculty. Dr. F. P. Ven able, Professor of Chemistry, and D. H. Jackson have an article on "Chlorination by Mixed Carbon Mo moxide and Chlorine," Dr. J. M. Bell on "A Rapid Volumetric Method for the Detection of Arsenic in Arsen ates," and W. C. Coker, "Notes on the Lower Basidiomycetes of North Carolina." , . The Elisha Scientific Journal is a quarterly publication put out by the Elisha Scientific Society, the mem bers of which are interested or engaged in scientific research work. The Journal affords ample opportu nity for publication of any researches made and is the official organ of publication of this body. The society itself was founded in memory of Elisha Mitchell, scientist of note, who lost his life while engaged in explorations in the vicinity of Mt. Mitchell.

OLD ANATOMICAL THEATER BECOMES MEDICAL LIBRARY SEVENTY STUDENTS ARE EN ROLLED IN TWO CLASSES OF THE MEDICAL SCHOOL Among the many physical changes which the University has undergone in the course of the last summer there is one unusually significant which has taken place in the (Medical School, through the conver sion of the old anatomical theatre into a medical library. By the removal of the old step-like seats a commodious and spacious room has been provided, furnishing an ideal place for a library, being both well lighted and well heated. Shelves built along the entire four walls of the room are necessary to hold the many thousand volumes and journals which comprise the library. Medical works covering fully all subjects taught iii the Medical School are available, and in addition the library is being equipped with complete sets of all medical journals thereby affording unusual opportunities for research work. The library is a real working and practical one, and sup plies an attractive improvement to the school. Seventy students are enrolled in the two classes of the Medical School, forty , first-year and thirty second year men. Dr. Mangum stated that all the first year students evidence splendid preparation. A few of those who took their first year work last year have not returned to take up second year work, these being H. H. Fritz, R. L. Johnson, M. Moser and S. R. Cole, who is unable to return, being seriously ill with tuber cular pneumonia, little hope being entertained for his recovery". An interesting fact, perhaps, inas much as they are to be found in nearly every other department of the University, is the absence of co-eds from either class, none having regis tered for the medical course this year. There is, however, one co-ed a special student pursuing work in bacteriology. One addition to the medical faculty was made this year in the person of Dr. W. C. George, Associate Profes sor of Histology and Embryology. DR. HOWARD ODUM PREPARES HANDWORK FOR NEW VOTERS HANDBOOK ISSUED BY EXTEN SION BUREAU TO HELP THE WOMAN VOTER In continuance of the policy of preparing programs for women's clubs, the Bureau of Extension now offers a course on Constructive Ven tures in Government, a manual of discussion and study of woman's new part in the newer ideals of citizen ship, by Dr. Howard W. Odum, Kenan Professor of Sociology and Director of the School of Public Welfare of the University of North Carolina. It is planned to supplement the three previous manuals, one by Mrs. Thomas W. Lingle, on Americaniza tion, studies of the people and the movements that are building up the American nation: . another by Dean D. D. Carroll, of the School of Com merce, entitled Studies in Citizenship for Women: and another by Profes sor James Holby Hanford of the Department of English entitled Our Heritage, a study through Literature of the American tradition. This program has been prepared by the Bureau of Extension. (1) To meet the wishes ol those women and women's clubs who have requested co-operation and suggestions in the new . and constructive ventures of government. (2) To emphasize a citizenship and government based on the ideals of service and achievement. (3) To magnify a training for citi zenship based on knowledge and first hand materials for the study of gov ernment. (4) , To contribute to the growing meaning of community and the powers, obligations, and oppor tunity of local government. (5) To emphasize the companionable nature of. both . the. . study of and participa tion in government. PORTRAIT OF DAVIE TO BE PRESENTED OCTOBER TWELFTH J. ALWYN BALL, OF CHARLESTON. OF GENERAL DAVIE PICTURE IS WORK OF CHRETIEN Commemorating, the one hundred and twenty-seventh anniversary of its founding, the University will hold its annual University Day here Octo ber 12th. .t Chief among t the ( features of the day will be the presentation to the University of a portrait of General William , Richardson Davie the illus trious head of the , committee who 127 years ago selected the location upon which , the University stands. The portrait will be presented by J. Alwyn Ball, of Charleston, S. C, who came into possession of , the poj trait through the late Mrs. Ball, who grand-daughter of General Davie. At the request of Mr. Ball, Rever end William Way, of Charleston, will make the presentation speech, and the speech of acceptance on behalf of the University will be made by J. O. Carr, of Wilmington, an alumnus of the University and an authority on the life of General Davie. Aside from its value as a portrait of General Davie, the painting assumes added value by virtue of the fact that it was executed by Chretien, a French portrait of world note and teacher of the famous Saint Saens. There are but two portraits by Chretien known to be in America, one being that of General Davie and the other being one in the Corcoran Art Gallery at Washington. This latter portrait is also, of - a North Carolinian, a Mr. Clark, of Edenton. These facts were brought out in the course of investigations on the part of authorities of the Corcoran gallery when it was supposed that the Davie portrait was executed by Saint Saens. President Chase will deliver the commemoration address and the cus tomary reading of the list of Alumni who. have died during the year will be read. Classes will be suspended for the day. THE LATIN AMERICAN CLUB HOLDS ITS FIRST MEETING DR. PIERSON SPEAKS OF AIMS AND PAST WORK OF CLUB The Latin Club held its first meet ing of the year 1920-21 on last Wednes day night, with about 12 members present. John Kerr, last year's presi dent and chairman of the meeting introduced Dr. W. W. Pierson, Jr., who told in detail the aim and past work of the organization. An or ganization committee of Dr. Pierson, John Kerr and P. H. Reavis, Jr., was appointed to detail the work for the year, perfect plane and submit them to the club at its next meeting on next Wednesday, October 13th at which time organization will be per fected and work for the year will begin. A discussion as to whether or not membership should be limited followed but final action was post poned until the next meeting. Dr. Pierson spoke as follows: "This club was the first of its kind formed in the South. Before the war and confusion of war it was a very live organization, and had a reputation for being one of the most interest ing clubs of the University." It has had its influence on the students, many of whom have located in the southern continent, engaging in bank ing and other business enterprises. The purpose of the club is to study each year a certain South American economic subject and its relation to the United States, especially to North Carolina. "Whether one goes into , history, sociology, business, or politics, the subject of , Latin Amer ica is of. very important, significance. If we come to know, the people of other lands we are bound to respect them," and their customs. "We have (Continued on page four) TWENTY-THREE MEN OFF TO NEW HAVEN FOR GAME WITH EI THIRTEEN LINE , MEN . AND TEN BACKS MAKE NORTHERN TRIP SEVERAL NEW MEN MAKE TRIP Twenty-three members of the Uni versity football squad' left Chapel Hill Thursday afternoon for New Haven where they are to play the LYale eleven . . tomorrow. , Since the surprising ;. game of last Saturday when the Blue arid White eleven after a hard fought game won from Wake Forest by the bare margin of 6 to 0, oach , Fuller has been working hard on . the team behind closed doors. Several changes have been made in the first ( and second squads and, the men who will play Yale tomorrow are in ; some cases new men , who were hardly thought of .before the Wake Forest , game. The men who have been chosen to represent the University on the northern trip are: Harrell, Jacobi, , Tinney, Morris, Pritchard, Poindexter, Owens, Hanby, Kernodle, Hutchins, Crayton, Coch rane, and Liipfert in the line; . and Pharr, Lowe, Tenney,' Spaugh, Aber nathy, Shepard, T. C. Smith, Hard ing, Griffith and McGee in the back field. " . The probable line-up for Carolina when the team goes on the gridiron Saturday is: Hutchins, left end; Harrell, left tackle; Poindexter, left guard; Jacobi, center; Pritchard, right guard"; Han by, right tackle; Cochrane, right end; Lowe, quarter back; Tenney, left half back; Pharr, right half back; and Spaugh, full back. SATURDAY RESULTS SHOW VARSITY HAS HARD SCHEDULE STATE COLLEGE'S VICTORY FROM NAVY A SURPRISE; VIRGINIA WINS EASILY That Carolina has a particularly heavy schedule this year for the warriors of the gridiron was proven by the results of games played last Saturday by the teams that the Blue and White are to appear against. It was a significant fact that all of these teams were victors in Satur day's contests, with the single excep tion of Davidson, whom though defeated by Washington and Lee, gave the Generals a big scare and made a game fight. State beat the Navy, Yale defeated Carnegie, Vir ginia walked over Randolph-Macon, South Carolina beat Woff ord, V. M. I. run away with Hampden-Sydney, and Maryland State won her curtain raiser with Rutgers. While these games were being won by the teams that are to meet Caro lina on the 1920 schedule, the Tar Heels themselves were busy and defeated Wake Forest here by the score of 6 to 0. But just as some of the victories for these other teams was surprising so was this 6 to 0 score of the Carolina team surpris ing, though in a different way. It was expected that the Blue and White would trample the Baptists by a margin of several touchdowns and the fact that the game was no walk over was no walk over has perhaps put, a scare in the minds of many students and was a severe disappoint ment. But this fact should only make the eleven fight the harder, and the students work the harder in co operation to line up against these other games. , The big surprise of Saturday was the victory over the Navy by . State, and especially since many Carolina students and the Carolina squad had seen . the Techs in action in the Davidson contest and had formed an opinion, to an extent, that State didn't have any too much to boast of this season. , But the Navy game has thrown a new light on affairs. State .has, got a team, and perhaps the best team that she has had. in years, and this, faqt only, means that Carolina has got to . worklike blazes to put the team and the spirit out (Continued on page four)
