II. C. Klingenschmitt Chooses Carolina

Rather Than Technical Institutions.
With the preliminary process completed of enrolling approximately 1,900
students, the University is well launched for a year that promises to be the
most fruitful of its history. The new system of registration that did away
with the long, endless lines of weary students before the Treasurer's office
was effective and relieved the conges-O
tion that marked the college opening
of former years. Considering the short
space of time and the large numbers to
be handled, the registration was very
smoothly and quickly run off.
From Sunday afternoon to late Thurs
day night the main drag of Chapel Hill
was a scene of bustling activity, when
the busy jitneys deposited large num
bers of returning students, and the new
ly equipped restaurants worked over
time to feed the incoming hordes. The
usual handshaking, the stock expres
sions in greeting old friend, the fran
tic chasing after trunks and the in
quiries for rooms were features of the
adjustment days. The Y. M. C A.,
with welcoming officials stationed at
various points of arrival, and with a
delegation of patient men at the infor
mation booth did valiant work in di
recting and herding groups of bewil
dered freshmen to their proper rooms.
Students returning late who had not
applied for rooms early had difficulty
in finding accommodations. However,
it is now thought that practically all
are lodged and that few, if any, have
to leave on account of the rooming
problem.
On Thursday morning the familiar
old bell in South Building chimed out
the first 8:30 call for the current year.
Chapel was well attended and was giv
en over to important announcements,
and on Friday, with Memorial Hall well
filled, President Chase delivered his wel
coming address to the student body.
The president elaborated on the new
era of the University, and briefly out
Unnrl thn future buildine plans. He
discussed the problems of a rapidly
growing University, and emphasized the
important part the new men must play
to cope with these problems.
LAWSON SAYS CLASS OF '26
IN FINE PHYSICAL SHAPE
Thorough Examination Given Incoming
Freshmen Special Gym Work As
signed for Remedying Defects.
Beginning Tuesday morning at eight
o'clock and continuing until eleven
Wednesday seven men were kept busy
giving a long line of freshmen physical
examinations. These examinations were
mv-en in the reeular army style and
509 were thoroughly examined in that
short space of time.
As a result of these examinations
Dr. Lawson finds the class of '26 to b
in excellent physical condition, and ho
says that there are many promising
football men and also men of other
athletic ability. From the 509 exam
ined, 60 men weighing around 17j
pounds have been assigned to football
and there arc others to be assigned
later.
Those men who have been found to
be under-developed will be given spe
cial gym work under the supervision
of Dr. Lawson and his assistants, T. P.
Gholson and Charles Spencer. This
remedial gym work has not been given
to meet the individual requirements of
flm nmii heretofore at Carolina, and
Dr. Lawson hopes to correct many cases
of under-development and stooped shoul
ders which have not been reached be
fore. In order to meet these requirements
the equipment of the gymnasium will
bo increased to include striking bags,
wrestling mats, chest weights and other
equipment which will make the gjm a
place of real amusement as well as of
valuable physical development.
The department of electrical engin
eering has just received outstanding
recognition in the appointment of H.
C. Klingenschmitt of Lockport, N. Y.,
to a Westiughouse War Memorial schol
arship in the University. Four of these
scholarships are awarded annually as
a memorial to employes of the company
who gave their lives in the World war.
Each scholarship carries with it an
annual payment of $500 for a period of
not over five years, such payment to be
applied toward an engineering educa
tion in any technical school or college
approved by the commitee which con
sists of three vice-presidents of the
company.
These scholarships are awarded by
means of competitive examinations to
sons of employes of five years' stand
ing or to employes' who have been in
the service of the company for two
years or more. Mr. Klingenschmitt
comes undes the latter class, having
been employed in the East Pittsburgh
works since 1920.
Since 1919 twelve scholarships have
been awarded, the successful candidates
choosing their schools as follows: Car
negie Institute of Technology, 4; Uni
versity of Pittsburgh, 2, and one each
to University of Cincinati, Leland Stan
ford, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
University of Pennsylvania, Penn State
and Cornell.
Mr. Klingenschmitt, in searching
about for an approved school in which
to make the most of his scholarship
award, sought the advice of E. B. Rob
erts, supervisor of service to engineer
ing schools in the educational depart
ment of the company. In a letter to
Professor Daggett, Mr. Roberts says:
"I talked the mater over with him
and found that the financial matter was
the only thing influencing away from
here and I suggested the University of
North Carolina as a school which we
would be very willing to have him en
ter. He accepted our suggestion and I
made a special report to our manage
ment naming North Carolina men who
had come here and made good, together
with recommendation for approval.
Our vice-president immediately approv
ed our recommendation.

MISSTAYLOR FIELD AGENT
While Bill Fetzer is putting his lads
through final practice for the gridiron
battles scheduled for the year, and at
the same time that all college teams,
not only of the state but of the entire
country are busily engaged, there is
yet another bunch of pigskin chasers
who are being kept busy.
And while not much has been heard
concerning them, present indications
are that something will be heard within
the next few weeks. For this bunch is
comprised of the football players on
the high school teams of North Caro
lina.
To many college men the playing of
high school teams this year is going to
be a revelation. And from these teams
are coming the future college stars. It
is useless to attempt to enumerate the
teams that seem to have excellent chan
ces of breaking up some town' s hope of
winning the state championship. In
the west, however, present indications
are that Asheville, Charlotte, Greens
boro, Winston-Salem, Shelby and Salis
bury will have teams that will be hard
to beat. And there are others whose
teams, coaches declare, will bear watch
ing. In the East Raleigh, Durham, Wil
mington and Chapel Hill, as usual, are
expected to place well balanced elevens
on "the field. But other and smaller
towns and cities are also getting im
mensely interested in the sport, and a
sports writer on a North Carolina daily
a man who takes keen interest in,
and who watches high school athletics
carefully, declared the other day that
he is expecting some small town team
to romp away with honors this year
unless mighty efforts are made by the
larger ones.
The coaching in the preparatory
schools has been improved immensely
within the past year or two. More
schools have coaches than has been the
case in years past and the game to be
played in Chapel Hill to decide the
championship will likely be well worth
seeing. At least that's what the folks
who are watching high school football
sav.

j. The Carolina Playniakers' program
fi' this year includes two new series of
original folk plays, one modern play,
a pageant, a commencement perform
pnee and two tours out into the state
with the folk-plays. Up to the present
time only one outside attraction has
been arranged for under the auspices
of the Playmakors, the Ongawa Japan
ese Players in dramatic interpretations
of Japanese folk-lore.
Professor Koch, director of the Play
makers, will be absent from the Uni
versity for the fall quarter for the pur
pose of writing a book on Folk Play
making. During his absence Mr. Dou
gald MacMillan, who has been actively
connected with the organization for the
past four years as playwright and as
sistant in the production, will bo in
charge. Mr. MacMillan will direct the
production of Booth Tarkingtou's Sev
enteen, which will be presented by tho
Playmnkers November 10 and 11. In
tho winter quarter, upon Prof. Koch 's
return, the new folk-plays will be giv
en January 26 and 27. The eastern
tour is scheduled for this quartor from
February 5 to 14. The Ongawa Japan
ese Players come to Chapel Hill Janu
ary 17. A second series of folk-plays
will be presented in the spring quar
ter, April 13 and 14, with tho western
tour immediately following April 16 to
25 in order to give time for the prep
aration of a pageant or Shakespearean
production May 25. Either the folk
plays or the pageant will be given by
the Playmakers at commencement.
In response to the Increasing growth
of the Playmakers' work, the Univer
sity has added Miss Elizabeth Taylor
'a a. field agent in the bureau of conimun
ity drama of the University Extension
Division. She is available to communi
ties in the state to assist in the pro
duction of plays and pageants. Profes
sor Koch will be assisted by Mr. Mac
Millan in his course in playwriting,
English 31, which has been made a full
course to include play production. This
additional work will be in charge of
Mr. MacMillan, and will cover every
branch of play production, scene paint-

FIRST MEETING PHI TO BE
HELD TOMORROW NIGHT
The Phi Assembly has its first meet
ing of tho year tomorrow night. The
meeting will be mostly in the form of a
regular business meeting. Committees
will bo appointed and preparations mado
for a campaign to bring in new mem
bers. A membership committees appointed
last year has been sending letters to
new men throughout the summer, ex
plaining the good of literary society
work, and inviting them to join the
Phi Assembly. A big membership cam
paign is being mapped out for the year
and every one is expectant of great
results.
The scope of the School of Commerce
has again been extended, and now stu
dents interested in commerce are able
to take courses in shorthand and type
writing. This is the first time that
a business school has attempted nny
such thing here. The work is being
done under the tutorage of the Dur
ham Business School, accredited, of
which Mrs. Walter Lee Ljdiium is pres
ident.
The new school is called the Univer
sity Business school, and classes are
held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days in Peabody building, from 4:30
p. m. until 6 p. m. Students have been
registering for the courses in Alumni
building. Quite a few have signed up
for it, and it is expected that more will
sigu up as soon as they get definitely
settled and find that their schedules
will permit the taking on of this new
course.
Now that shorthand and typewriting
are offered here under experienced
heads, and since accounting, business
law, economics and other business
courses are to be had in the regular
nnninmrce courses, the University is
fully equipped to produce well rounded
and well equipped men, fully prepared
for tho business world, in everything
but actual experience. Such a course
has been needed here for some time,
and it is being welcomed by a good
number of students interested in this
field of work.
In the past the condition of tho as
sembly halls at tho University has been
sadly neglected. Until the fall of 3921
Memorial Hall stood merely as a me
morial to tho Confederacy, valueless
and unused. Twice a year, on Univer
sity Day and at Commencement, the
dust was swept from its benches, and
the faculty, students and alumni en
tered to hear a confused jumble of
anises where they should have heard
speeches.
Gerrard, constructed in 1822, once
offered adequate quarters for chapel
exercises and speeches. But the Uni
versity outgrew Gerrard Hall long be
fore it was abandoned. It became im
possible to crowd the entire student
body into the small building, and com
pulsory chapel attendance for the three
upper classes was discontinued. Tho
state of repair into which this build
ing has fallen is rather shameful.
A successful attempt to relieve the
confusion of sound in Memorial Hall
was the first move toward better con
ditions. It made possible a chapol at
tendance of the entire student body.
The outward appearance of the build
ing has been greatly improved, and it
is now a credit to the University, of
sorvice to the living as well as a me
morial to the dead. During the past
summer a few touches of the painter's
brush has wrought a wonderful change
in the outward appearance of this spa
cious building.
Gerrard Hall is now being ropainted,
and it will give very good sorvice this
year as a small lecture hall. It is being
partially refioored, equipped with new
window panes, and the woodwork re
paintod. With Gerrard and Memorial
Halls both in use, there will bo suffi
cient room for mass meetings as well
as large lecture and chapel attendances.

Carolina opens the 1922 football soa-
sou tomorrow when Coach letzer 9
charges face Wake Forest at Goldsboro.
The Blue and White squad has been
working hard this week in preparation
for the first contest, nnd although it is
a matter of speculation as to who will
start tho game at the tackles, the rost
of tho line-up is almost certain.
Both tackle positions are open, and
several experienced men are trying for
a regular berth there. Matthews,
George, and Abemathy aro showing up
well. Tho latter has been shifted from
the backfiold and seems to be at homo
in the line.
"Suey" Cochran and "Casey" Mor
ris, ends, will be at their old positions,
while Poiudexter and Captain Pritchard
will be at guard again. ' ' Bill ' ' Blount
is playing his fourth year at center,
and Mclver, of last year's freshman
team, will get second choice.
Two backlields of almost equal
strength are on the field "Monk" Mc
Donald at quartor, "Johnnie" John
ston and Fred Morris, halfs, and George
Sparrow at full will probably start
against Wake Forest. McGhee, Mer
ritt, Tenney and Randolph make up
another fast backfield.
Wake Forest doesn't appear to have
much stronger material than last year,
but better coaching has greatly im
proved the Baptists' toam work. The
injury to the brilliant Heckman will be
keenly felt. He will probably play
either in the line or at one of the end
positions this year, but he will not be
the old Heckman that has won so much
praise for his remarkable playing.
Tho Wake Forest backfield without
Heckman will be much stronger than
last year. Lowery will play quarter
and in spite of his light woight will bo
one of their best ground gainers. Boy
lin, Hansen and Holmes are also main
stays of the Baptist attack this year.
Holmes was on the Black and Gold team
a few years ago and is expected to hold
down a regular half this year.
Although not predicting anything
concerning the Goldsboro game, Cap
tain Pritchard expects a hard fought
contest. The officials will be Williams
and Logan.

"No more boxes to rent" was the

The early arrivals on the Hill reserv

they found boarding places. The lucky

interminable line stretching all the way
around the lobby does not appeal to
the average student.
Just what will be done to solve the
problem of mail delivery in Chapel Hill
does not seem to be apparent as yet.
Various methods of meeting a situa
tion which every year grows more con
gested have been considered. Last year
Postmaster Strowd and Secretary Co
mer of the Y. M. C. A. discussed the
feasibility of opening up a branch post-
office in the "Y" building, i or Borne

ity and no steps were ever taken to
that end.

READ YOUR COLLEGE PAPER
The initial meeting of the Di Society
for the college year will be held in the
society hall in New West Building to
morrow night at 7:30 o'clock. First
year men, however, are not to be re
ceived for initiation at this meeting,
though nny upperclassmen who desire
to join the society are advised to do so
at this, the first meeting, it was an
nounced by the president, K. C. Hunt.
All freshmen ami fitst year men who
desire membership iu tho society are
to be received the following Saturday
night, September 7.
The first meeting is to be taken up
primarily with the installation of new
officers who were elected last spring.
They are: K. C. Hunt, president; E. II.
Hartsell, vice-president; M. A. James,
secretary; W. K. White, treasurer; H.
D. Duls. first corrector; R. W. Linker,
second corrector.
At this time President Hunt will
make Vis inaugural address in which,
according to custom, he will outline the
policy of the society for tho first quar
ter, which is the duration of his term
of office. It is also expected that Mr.
Hunt will make some constructive sug
gestions as to how the society can im
prove its work over last year. All
active members arc required to attend
this meeting.
The membership in the Dialectic soci
ety according to tradition is composed
nt nil mnn from tho western part of
the state, while the Philanthropic As
numbly is for easterners. This division
is purely arbitrary, and any man from
the: east will bo welcomed into Di soci
ety! while Phi will be glad to receive
anv western man who desires to join
her assembly. Men from other states,
of course, may choose either society
Over-crowded conditions already con
front the University. This at first
seems impossible with four splendid
new dormitories, but with approximate
ly 700 new men already accounted for
and a large percentage of old students
returning the situation takes on a seri
ous aspect. As tho Tar Heel goes to
press registration continues into its
third day with n steady increase of
men who have no places to stay." Al
ready unofficially third men are fill
ing the rooms of Steele Building and
the fourth is in evidence in Buttle,
Vance ami Pettigrew. This brings con
ditions exactly where they wore last
vear.
School officials state that no men
shall be turned away so long as they
can bo cared for with a reasonable de
gree of comfort. Steel had three in a
room last year. Mr. Warren says it
must accommodate the same this year.
The rooms are large and airy, however,
and three in a room did not seem a
hardship last year. Those who have al
ready secured rooms have been advised
to pick a congenial third man at once.

N. C. CLUB PLANS
INSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM
Dr. E. C. Branson states that a very
interesting program is being worked out
for the North Carolina Club this year.
The work of this organization has been
entered into with enthusiasm by many
students since it was started here.
The club schedule consists of 16 dis
cussions on the general theme, "What
Next for North Carolina." College
credit wil be given to those whoso pa
pers show earnest study and applica
tion to the subject. As an additional
incentive for diligence in the work $."0
in gold will be .given for the best dis
cussion, j
The meeting will be held every two
weeks at 7:30 p. m. in Phillips Hall.
The complete schedule will be announc
ed ri soon as possible, Dr. Branson says.
The October issue of the Carolina
Magazine, the fi-st of the current year, .
made its appearance on the Hill during
the first days of registration. The most
striking feature of this issue is its
front cover, which might bo described
as a charming symphony in red, white,
and two shades of blue, with a cut of
President C'hnxe in the center looking
out from beneath a bower of long leaf
pine.
The rest of the magazine is not very
miK'h different from the Willie Horner
product of last year, except in the edi
torial policy. You are made aware of
a big difference there ns soon as you
cast your eye over the leading editorial
by the assistant editor, Artus M. Moser.
"Your Responsibility, Young Man," is
a rather " prcacherly " bit of advice
which could never by nny chance have
crept into a publication edited by the
volcanic. Mr. Horner.
Tho editor-in-chief, George W. Mc
Coy, follows the Horneresquc prece
dent only in the mechanical make-up of
his editorials they are scattered about
through the magazine and set up in
the F.ame kind of type ns last year. But
there is a vast difference. Nobody will
ever get peeved at anything in this
year's magazine. It will bo safe to
"say that tho editorials will in largo
measure go unread, but at any rate
they are constructive and harmless.
Everybody in the University
knows the difference between a pen and
a pickaxe seems to have found a place
on the editorial staff of the magazine.
