Ky., left in her will to the University
of North Carolina a legacy of $75,000
a year for 21 years, at the end of which
time her trustees are to pay the Uni
versity a sum sufficient to produce an
income of $75,000 a year, estimated at
$1,500,000. This money is to be used
to pay salaries of the professors in the
University known as Kenan professors,
in memory of Mrs. Bingham's father,
Capt. William R. Kenan, and her two
uncles, Capt. James Kenan and Col.
Thomas S. Kenan, all three graduates
of the University.

ARE WARNED BY HARMON
President of Student Body in Chapel
Outlines Council's Policy
For the Year.
"Drinking, gambling, cheating, and
all forms of vico must go, " . declared
J. O. Harmon, president of the Student
body, striking the keyncto of his first
speech in chapel Monday morning.
After 'introducing each member of
the eoncil individually; mentioning the
outstanding qualities which won for
each of them the honor of being placed
on the council, Harmon proceeded to
outline tho policy of that body for
the government of the students during
the coming year.
"We want it understood that the stu
dent council is not a band of detectives
creeping around the campus and spy
ing on your conduct," he said. "We
are working toward the end, which we
hope to accomplish, of upholding the
ideals of Carolina, and making it a big
ger and better institution, and we ask
the co-operation of the student body,
without which wo can accomplish very
little." -
He continued by warning the stu
dents against a restless, cynical spirit,
urging them to do something worth
while and uplifting. "Idleness is tho
enemy of every man," he said. "There
is activity for every man who will ap
ply himself. ' ' In his denunciation of
drinking and gambling, he mentioned
the action already taken against them
by such organizations as the German
Club, the Stygians, 'and the literary so
cieties, and showed - that the natural
sentiment of the' students is against
them.
In conclusion, Harmon said: ' "The
TiJnnl nf Pnpnliio ia tft turn nut. men nf
character who are fitted to take a place
of leadership in the communities of
which they are to become citizens."

GRANT RETURNS FROM HIS
ORGANIZATION TRIP NORTH
Secretary of Alumni Association Has
Successful Trip Much Interest
Shown by Northern Alumni.
Daniel L. Grant, secretary of tho
alumni association, has returned from a
trip north, where he visited the exist
ing alumni organizations in the North
and helped to organize several new
ones. Washington, Boston and Chicago
already have chapters of alumni and
these three places held meetings on Uni
versity Day, October 12. Mr. Grant
reports that plans have already been
made for a meeting to be held some
time before Christmas in Norfolk, Rich
mond, Danville, Baltimore," Philadel
phia, New York City, Boston and Pitts
burgh. ' Grant had a very successful trip and
found the Carolina alumni willing to
co-operate with him in his work. It is
of interest to know about how many
Carolina men there are north of this
state. The approximate numbers are
as follows: Norfolk, 200; Richmond,
110; Danville, 60s Washington, 125;
Baltimore, 90; Philadelphia, 120; New
York City, 250; Boston, 75; Pittsburgh,
175, and ChioRgo, 40. , The above men
tioned cities will possibly be all the
associations that will be formed north
of North Carolina.

MEYER WILL ADDRESS
PARENT-TEACHER MEET
H. D. Meyer, of the school of pub
lic welfare, is to address the State Parent-Teachers
Association " on the sub-
ject of "Playgrounds" at their annual
meeting November 8. He will stop by
Rocky Mount on his return and address

trip.
PHI ALPHA DELTA
ENJOYS HALLOWE'EN
Tuesday night at the home of Prof.
M. T. Van Hecke, of the law faculty,
members of Phi Alpha Delta law fra
ternity were very enjoynbly entertain
ed during the evening hours. The de
lightful Hallowe'en supper was inter
spersed with interesting and entertain
ing legal anecdotes by the host of the
evening, Prof. Van Hecke, faculty
member of Phi Alpha Delta, and also
Prof. Howard T. Hill, dean of the
school of public speaking at the Kansas
State Agriculture College, and at pres
ent on tho Hill in the interest of the
Masonic Fraternity, Acacia, contrib
iited not a little to tho pleasant passing
of the hours.
The "Y" financial campaign is still
bringing in the money. The inability
to always find men in their rooms when
making calls has considerably delayed
the canvassers in making final reports
to the office. Additional instructions
have been sent to the captains of all
canvassing teams urgjng that work continue-until
every man has been seen.
The campaign among the faculty is pro
ducing especially good results. Also,
through correspondence from the office,
a campaign is now being opened up on
a picked group of alumni and friends.
However, it is still hoped that local
subscriptions will carry the campaign
over the top. :' " "
A large number of pledges were mado
due November 1. The " Y" secretary
urges that the student body break the
record this year by making 100 per
cent payments when due.
All freshmen who participated in
Hi-Y or other' Y. M. C. "A. work in
high school or their home town are
asked to hold themselves in readiness
for the early organization of the Fresh
men Friendship Council. The roll should
exceed that of last year by about 25.
According to the present plans the
meetings will be held twice every
month. Of these meetings, one each

SMOKER FOR JUNIORS IS
PLANNED MONDAY NIGHT
Fentative Program Features Meyer,
Matherly, Music and Maidens
Treasurer Will Collect Dues.
As a result of the meeting of the
executive committee of the junior classj
the first smoker of the year for "24"
wil be held in Swain Hall, Monday, No
vember 6. The tentative program pro
vided is well balanced and should af
ford a variety of amusement to the
large crowd expected. If the present
plans are fulfilled, W. J. Matherly and
Dr. H. D. Meyer will be the chief
speakers of the evening, the co-ed mem
bers of the class will put on some orig
inal stunts, the nature of which is un
known, and a musical number will be
rendered by junior class talent only.
The executive committee have estab
lished an innovation this year in that
only members of the junior class are
to participate in the program.
Several important business matters
will be thrown open for discussion, chief
among them being the advisability of
the junior class taking the initiative
for the revival of class athletics.
Charles Holshouser, the newly elected
president, will e introduced to the
class and will outline his policies for
the year. A desperate effort will be
made by the treasurer to fill the de
pleted coffers of the class treasury, the
total amount of which is hardly enough
to buy a square meal at Gooch's. The
usual smoker menu will be served.
OUTCOME OF CAROLINA -TULANE
GAME SUBJECT OF SPECULATION
Tulane Has Been Scored on But Once, While Piling Up 104 Points
in Four Games Much Interest in- Contest.
Carolina plays Tulane at New Or
leans tomorrow in what will probably
be one of the hardest fought games on
the schedule of either team. The Tar
Heels journey dowu to Louisiana fresh
from their smashing victory over Mary
land and with 41 determination to con
tinue their fast pace.
Tulane is being coached by Clark D.
Shaughnessey, of Minnesota football
fame. He lias perfected a strong de
fense that has held Camp Benuing and
Mississippi A. and M. scoreless,' while
the offensive tactics of the Tulane war
riors have produced 104 points in four
games. The only team that has suc
ceeded in scoring upon Tulane is Spring
Hill College of Mobile, Ala., coached
by "Moon" Dueote, the great Alabama
"Poly" star. Ducote's team held the
"Green Wave" to a 30 and 10 score
three weeks ago.
Coach Fetzer's charges showed great
improvement in the Maryland gams,
and if the punch and drive that won
the 'fight Saturdav is directed against
Tulane, the New Orleans eleven is doom
ed to meet its first defeat. Carolina
was the first Southern team to defeat
Wake Forest, Trinity, South Carolina
and Maryland this year, and it is in
teresting to note that both Tulane and
V. M. T. are in the undefeated class.
The Tulane "senate" has ordered
that tomorrow be observed as "T"
day. Every man that has won a letter
Lthpre is expected to wear his. ."T"
sweater to the Carolina-Tulane game,
if possible. This is a new movement
at Tulane which the senate hopes will
become an established custom.
The probable line-up for the game:

Coach Bob Gets
Track Spirit Up
At the largest meeting of its kind
held on the campus this session, Coach
Bob Fetzer made a speech to those in
terested in track, in Gerrard Hall Mon
day night. Ho was very optimistic
over the prospect of turning out a real
track team this year.
' He revived last yearM record, point
ing out the excellent results obtained
by the consistent work of last year's
team, and announcod the series of inter-class
meets to be held this fall.
Beginning with the one scheduled
for November 8, there will be anothor
the 20th, followed by the inter-collo-giato
indoor meet, to be held Decem
ber 9. The most important meet, the
annual indoor meet at Durham, will
be held about February 22. Besides
those on the regular schedule, there
will be several freshmen meets, some
of which will bo between Carolina and
other schools in the state.
Fetzer advised prospective track men
to start going out now, so as to gradu
ally prepare themselves for the spring
meets by participating in fall and win
ter track athletics.
"For years track has been consid-,
rred a minor sport at the University,"
said tho conch in conclusion, "but 1
am glad to say that that feeling is gra
dually, disappearing, and it is up to
those interested in it to bring track
to the front."

cancies on Reportorial Staff At
tracts Many Candidates.
A meeting of the contestants for
places on the Tar Heel reportorial staff
was held Monday night at the Tar Heol
office, with more than 40 contestants
going out.
The system, as explained by Editor
Jake Wade, of selecting men for the
Tar Heel board, is one that is in use
in many northern universities. It is
simply a contest stretching out over
the entire school year, instead of the
shorter, more intensive competition that
has been used in the past.
The contestants are to be known as
"Heelers" and are to consider them
selves a real part of the Tar Heel force.
Each man will be assigned work cov
ering not more than one hour a week,
during the rest of the school year. From
time to time, as vacancies occur, lead
ing contestants will be selected as reg
ular reporters on the staff, and at the
end of the year the board for next year
will be chosen from among the lead
ers in the contest. All men who make
the staff will be given regular college
credit in the English department for
their work on the Tar Heel.
The following men have entered tho
contest to date: L. W, Adams, Edward
Anderson, J. O'. Bailey, E. S. Barr, W.
C. Briggs, J. S. Blair, R. L. Briggs,

J. B. Eagles Reads Paper Constituting
First of Reports on "What Next
in North Carolina?"
At tho regular meeting of the North
Carolina Club Monday night tho discus
sion was led by J. B. Eagles, who read
a paper on "The Boll Weevil and an
Organized Agriculture."
This discussion constituted one of the
reports on the general subject, ' ' What
Next in North Carolina?" outlined for
the club's work this year. The club
as a whole is much more active than it
has ever been before. This is doubt
less due to the fact that the program
for the year affords more interest t-1
students by supplying a broader field
for useful investigation than the nar
row and more detailed researches car
ried on by the club in the past.

GERMAN CLUB ELECTION
IS PROTECTED BY RING
THAT FAILS TO WIN OUT
Two Separate "Frame-ups" Are
Apparent as Result of Attempt
to Elect Dance Leaders.
RESULTS IN LIVELY SCRAP
Two separate and distinct political
"frame-ups," apparently destined to
be regular political parties in social
activities, have resulted from the meet
ing of the German Club Tuesday after
noon when Lloyd Williams,. Beta, de
feated Bill Blount, Deke, for lender of
the fall German, and Ed Barr, Sigma
Chi, and Buster Waddoll, Dolta Tau
Delta, defeated Johnnie Johnston, Kap
pa Alpha, and Gone Hardin, Sigma Nu,
respectively, for assistant loaders. This
election was protested on the grounds
of "irregularity in voting," there ap
pearing to be some misunderstanding
as to the method of balloting.
Signs of the first frame-up were dis
played in the Williams, Barr and Wad
dell combination which was victorious
in the "protested" election, this frame
up alleged to have been composed of
the Beta, Sigma Chi, Delta Tau Delta,
Phi Dolta . Theta, Alpha Tau Omega,
and Thota Chi fraternities. This frame
up went off without a hitch, each or
ganization concerned voting solidly for
the candidates of the "ring." It is
said that this machine' has lasted over
from last year, and that it is proposed
to continue throughout this year, al
though this was not confirmed by the
fraternities making up the group.

tion for himself this season. The Gamo
