It was un safe for anyone to be on the streets, for you never knew when you would be accosted by a bewitching little witch or a fierce, shimmering punp kin head.. On every corner, behind every tree and post, there was one of these hideous creatures ready to chase you to St. Louis. Door alarms that had beeome rusty from idleness were in a state of exhaustion Wed nesday night, and the residents of Chapel Hill were kept busy to the small hours of the night answering knocks and rings. However, there was one consola tion in that there seemed to be a scarcity of fire-works, for such re ports were rarely, if ever, heard. But the celebration was not limited to the children alone. Several young men of Durham, in black face and wearing all kinds of regalia, came over, and it was thought that they were members of the "Black Hand," until they paid a friendly visit to Nick at the Cafeteria. Some thought they were fraternity brothers . of Nick, or the initiates of some kind of Greek letter organization." This band of Hallowe'enites was very quiet and lady-like, for they sat down and quietly listened to the radio concert. Some of htem had a few "sworts" too many, so it became necessary for them to depart. Gus was excused and went with them. By this time the children of the village had been tucked away, so the remaining few minutes of the day were left to saints. "Casey" Morris will not have to undergo operation for appendicitis. After spending a day and night un der observation, at Watts . Hospital in Durham, Morris , was brought back to Chapel Hill and placed in the Col lege Infirmary. Dr, Aber nathy stated Friday after noon that Morris would prob ably be able to resume prac tice next week. While this does not mate rially aid the team at Colum- , bia it helps greatly, to drive, away the gloom that has lately come over the cam pus. With the exception of . Morris, the team was out for practice today with all men in good condition. The re covery of "Casey" and of the other injured players' puts Carolina in good trim for the South Carolina game tomor row and V. M. I. on Nov. 10. In an interview with Dr. Abernethy of the local In firmary, the doctor an nounced that the condition of "Casey." Morris had improv ed greatly, and that unless new complications develop he will be on the athletic field for practice Monday af ternoon. Dr. Abernethy is describing the case said "that Morris drew to an in side straight and won." FALL GERMAN LEADERS CHOSEN Clayton Bellamy. Elected Leader With W. E. White and Henry Sample As Assistants Clayton Giles Bellamy, William E. White, and Harry Sample will lead the fall German. Old , timers .say their election was the tamest ever held on the campus. Thejmembers df the club did not even have to rise! Bellamy was nominated for leader and unanimously elected, White and Sample, assistants, didn't hafce any opposition at all. , 'Wise nten on the campus will elu cidate arid explain' the ease 'of the election. The machine, they will tell you, was just too powerful and well oiled at the meeting Thursday.- Op position was not only inadvisable but would have had no effect. Sages on political theory, if they under stood the frame-up, could not help but admire its .completeness. , Rumor gives-it 'at least ten years of rule. " ' A contract : has been signed with Garber-Davis for the dances. If he should break this contract he must forfeit four hundred dollars. The ex ecutive committee and the leaders will begin immediately to complete arrangements for the dances. Right how the question of most im portance is to secure a floor on the Hill suitable for the crowd expected. Favors and decorations will be or ders within the next few days. It is the purpose of the, committee and the leaders to make the dances this year the best ever held. Beauty and orig inality will be their chief aim vi pur chasing favors and decorations. Dances begin Friday afternoon af ter the game and end with the fall German Saturday night. There will be five in all. Plans are being made however for a morning dance Fri day. Leaders for the Junior order dances will be announced in the next issue of the Tar Heel. Garber-Davis will play in Durham on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thurs day nights. AH students are asked to co-operate with the executive com mittee and the dance leaders in an effort to make these the cleanest, most enjoyable dances ever held at the University. Returning after the sting of a 17 to 0 defeat administered by the Uni versity of Georgia Freshmen last Saturday in a game played at Athens, the Tar Heel Yearlings will be out for vengeance Saturday when they hook up with the University of Mary land Freshmen on Emerson Field. THe first' year men have been prac ticing all week in anticipation for the game with the Old Line aggregation and expect to wake a good showing. The FreshmCn did not invade Geor gia with their full strength last Sat urday, Bass, a valuable tackle, not making .the trip because of a very bad leg." G. C. GIRLS GLEE CLUB TO GIVE A CONCERT HERE Twenty-Five Girls From Greens boro College Will Invade the Campus Tuesday AUSPICES OF GLEE CLUB Under the auspices of the Univer sity Music Clubs the Glee. Club from Greensboro . College, twenty-five strong, will invade Chapel Hill next Tuesday evening for the purpose of giving a concert in Memorial Hall. This will be the second time that the girls from G. C. have been to the Hill in 1923, having given! a concert here last spring. They professed themselves then as being unusually well pleased with the reception ac corded them by the Carolina student body. The fact that they are. back again this term seems pi'oof enough of this. Those who attended the concert, giv en last spring will not have to be urged to come out again this time. The mere fact of having twenty-five pretty girls on the old platform at one time will be enough to draw a great many. But regardless of this, an unusually good program is assur ed. It will consist of about anything that could be asked for in the vocal line, as solos, duets, quartets, etc., not to mention piano selections and other attractions too numerous to mention. Such invasions on the part of so many ladies to the campus is a rare thing. For this reason, if for no other, the student body is expected to come out "en masse" to Memorial Hall next Tuesday night. " MISS RIGGS WILL GIVE i'' RECITAL NEXT SUNDAY The Music Department has secured the services of Miss Catherine, Riggs fdr their program next Sunday after noon.' Miss Riggs, ! who : is from Washington, D. C, is"" a" hai-pist of marked ability and talent, and her coming is looked forward with pleas ure by music lovers. .She is jnakingl a tour in the South . now, and wjllj stop' by! )n her way from Gastoriia to Greenville, 'in 'which cities she' 'is to give concerts. The Department considers itself very fortunate in se curing Miss Riggs-. for, this' dite. i Mrs. G. A. Harrer, wife of Profes sor : Harrer of the University, will also take part. Mrs. Harrer is a tal ented singer and will add greatly to the . program. Annually large at tendance is expected. THE PHOTOGRAPHER FOR YACKETY YACK REMAINS Because of filled up dates, the Yackety Yack photographer will re main in Chapel Hill through Friday, November 9 to finish up the individ ual pictures. All fraternity men, and members of the Junior and Senior classes who wish to have their pic tures taken should report at the Yackety Yack office immediately to make arrangements for a sitting. The office is located in room number 2 Old West building, and the office hours are from nine to one, and from two to six. No group pictures will be taken this trip. The photographer will visit the University again some time in January. HOODED FIGURE STORY IN TAR HEEL CAUSES CLAMOR The 'Hay-shaker" Conducts Investigation of the Affair Gives Out His Findin gs in News Article Stories reeking with an insinuat ing tale of immorality, supposed to have resulted in activities begun by the noble order of Knights of the Ku Klux Klan against four Univer sity students which have shocked many Uncle Joshes and Baptist knit ting circles in the Eastern Wilds of North Carolina. But these shot to the ground by an able hunter narrow the aggravated situation to a case of either plain hazing or of merely "teasing." In a lengthy session held in the "Y" last night Council was unable to arrive at any decision. A, num ber of elements enter into the final decision of the case, the uppermost being that-the! hazing or teasing' was committed by fifteen freshmen. JUNIORS START SMOKER SEASON Had the First Class Smoker the Season Last Tuesday Night of By J. E. HAWKINS Amid the blare of Carolina's big brass band and abundant bull the class of '25 held its first smoker of the year in Swain Hall Tuesday eve ning. Although the junior quartette was absent and the mandolin trio was not present Mr. Sides' non-reticent aggregation of affiliated noises quite made up for any deficiency and pre faced the affair with several delect able selections. The band's efforts were highly appreciated. The culinary offerings of the eve ning, which emanated periodically from the recesses ' of our favorite dining hall, consisted- of variegated sandwiches, hot chocolate and wafers, and Chesterfields with appropriate matches. The post-prandial oratory was most charmingly served up by Dr. J. Man ning Booker and Professor H. .D.. Meyer. Ludlow Rogers, president of the class, acted as toastmaster and acquitted himself nobly. In an elab orate introduction of Johnnie Booker he brought to light a number of that gentleman's characteristics of which the learned Doctor himself was prob ably not entirely aware. In a sparkling talk, utterly devoid of orthodox joke (Hear ye!), our eminent preceptor of things Victorian handed the Juniors some rattling good dope in regard to "Our Life's Play," a fitting companion subject to Professor Meyers "Out Life's Work." He touched on that " unfortunate and to-be-pitied individual who mopes painstakingly . through-' life,; working savagely to hew out an existence and laboring hai;'d in the intervals to amuse hmiself without the faculty of relaxing a boggy brain by means of play, without ever really knowing ihow to play. One of the uses, duties and beauties of a university lies in the development of the playboy in the man He spoke of the fact that nearly all college play seems to revolve around the ball-4f jothall, baseball, basketball, 'ballbearings and remark ed the fleeting character of this con ventional sort of play. What are we to play with ten, twenty years from now when our lives have begun to revolve around another kind of bawl? College teaches, he said, how to play with books and pictures and music, the beauty of buildings and perhaps .above all, nature'. Nature's beauty becomes the more beautiful (Continued on Page 4) HAS STRANGE BEDFELLOW A Carolina student returned late Sunday night from one of his week end carousals in Durham to find that his bed was occupied. Thinking it was only one of his boy friends he proceeded to retire, and being very sleepy he needed only a short while to pass into the land of sweet dreams. When the alarm clock sounded Monday morning he turned over and found himself face to face with a large Airedale pup. The stu dent proceeded to catch his 8:30 and the dog to hunt his breakfast. and The purpose of the "Hay-shaker'" is not to attempt to decide this issue, however, but merely to correct a wrongful impression left in the minds of the good church-folk of the state, which, if allowed to remain, would result in incalculable injury not only to the future interests of the University but also to her good name. After an interview with the perpe trators and perpetrated upon, the wonder of the "Hay-shaker" is, how they succeeded in carrying through their undertaking so successfully. The story is that fifteen freshmen all agreed that a member of their class needed instruction of a higher type than that afforded in the University's (Continued on Page 4) J. R. Parks and W. H. Ho.sea have been chosen to fill two vacancies on the Tar Heel staff. Parks will han dle the Exchange column and Hosea will write feature stones. Both men have had previous journalistic exper ience. Bessie Davenport has al.so been added to the board and will handle co-ed and so cial news. DR. CHASE READS STATEMENT IN CHAPEL FRIDAY Gives Out Statement In Regards To Recent Boll Weevil Case EXPLAINS THE SITUATION In Chapel Friday Dr. Chasa read a statement concerning the Univer sity's action in regards to the recent Boll Weevil affair. The TAR HEEL gives the text of the statement for the benefit of those who may have missed the chapel. It follows: I deem it proper to make to you at this time a statement regarding the Boll Weevil, as I desire to make clear to you certain facts and poli cies which I do not believe have been fully understood. this publication was tounded in the fall of nineteen hundred and twt.ity-two by a group of students as a private enterprise, under the business managership of Mr. L. J. S. Brody. It was welcomed by the Uni versity authorities, who felt, and still feel, that there is a place on the campus for a properly conducted col lege comic. I wish, however; to suy, once for all, that no agreement ever existed between it and the Univer- sity whereby it at any time had the slightest right to ' describe itself ' as. an official University publication, I am indeed at. a loss to, understand, how anyone who. knew that the Boll Weevil wc.3 a private enterprise could even for a moment have assumed that it had any official relationship to the University. It certainly was, not the official comic publication of the student body, which had nver taken any action that would make it such, and I have the best of rea sons for assuming that it never was an official publication of the faculty, the trustees, or the alumni. The facts are that Mr. Brody, on sub mitting his proposed plan of organ ization last fall, was specifically told by me that portions of it those cov ering its relations to the proposed publications union, were matters for student decision, not for mine, and that he was further told, at the same time, that, as a private enterprise, the Boll Weevil was not, arid could not be, an official publication in any sense. I stressed the point because it is altogether unfair to you and to the University as a whole that any man should capitalize for his private gain the name and reputation of the University. The formula which scorn ed to me proper was that the Boll Weevil should be described as pub lished "by students of the University of North Carolina." Later in the year, however, I found that the man ager had totally disregarded our un derstanding, and was describing his publication as "official" not mcroly on its pages, but, as I have since learned, on his contract forms and letter-heads. To secure advertising under such conditions is to secure it under false pretense. Altogether aside from this evidence began to accumulate several months ago which brought Mr. Brody under suspicion of grave misconduct, both in his managership of the Boll Wee vil and in other entreprises with which he was connected as a student. This evidence the Exe cutive Committee of the fac ulty considered of sufficient weight to summon Mr. Brody before it. He was allowed to examine the evidence, and was given every opportunity to clear himself, and, in the unanimous judgment of the Executive Commit tee, was found guilty of conduct dis honorable and unworthy a University student, and debarred from road mis sion to the University. The fact that Chapel Hill is Mr. Brody's legal residence made it pos sible, however, for him to continue his activities in town, though not in the University. Inasmuch as he man- TAR HEELS ARE TO BATTLE THE S. C. GAMECOCKS Captain Casey Morris Will Not Re able to Play in the Game WILL HE A HARD FIGHT With Captain "Casey" Morris out of the game, the University of North Carolina will play the University of South Carolina in Columbia, Satur day. Morris, already crippled with an injured ankle received during the N. C. State game, was taken ill Wed nesday with an acute attack of ap pendicitis and probably incapacitated for the rest of the season. The loss of "Casey," picked last year as all South Atlantic end, i3 one of the greatest that could have been sus tained, and hits the team a hard lick, coming as it does at the crucial point of the season. North Carolina has been picked to win from the Gamecocks with com parative ease but with Morris defi nitely out and "Tommy" Shepherd still suffering from his nose, the game promises to be hard fought, with odds on neither side. The record of the South Carolin ians against the bigger institutions has not been particularly impressive this year. They were outplayed and beaten by N. C, State just a week beforo the University defeated Tech by a score of 14-0.. South Carolina was a bit over-confident and that in itself is considered one of the great est factors leading to her defeat. Against Carolina she fights her ut most and her utmost wa3 sufficient, in 1921, to hold North Carolina to a 7-7 tie and to hold. the "wonder team" of 1922 to a 10-7 victory. It is true that year before last, South Carolina . played the Tar Heels immediately af ter, the Yale game which had left them in a crippled condition. With the game 7 to 0 in the Gamecock's favor, the Lowe-Johnston combina tion 'went in i and succeeded in, tying. the score, t Last ydaif, SouthiCaro- .

Bishop Chesh ire of Raleigh led the service, which began at 10:45 a. m. and lasted till 4:30 p. m. There were more than seventy-five representatives from over the state. The speakers for the occasion were Doctor Pratt, president of the State Conference, who spoke on "How the Church Can Get Behind the Legisla ture, For the Program Which Will be Presented in the Next Session." Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, State Co examiner of Public Welfare, describ ed the works of the State welfare as sociation in its various functions. Rev. Cary Montague, Richmond, Va., gave an account of the work in pris ons and hospitals in Virginia. Doctor Lathrap, secretary of the National Council of the Episcopal Church took the subject that the Church should be a backer of public works and should be a part of the community life. He then gave a sum mary of the work covered in the meeting . Because of the Sociological aspects in the meeting the whole Sociology Department was present, and made a very , interested audience. Flowers were sent Friday to "Casey" Morris by Haronian's French IV class, of which "Casey" is a member.
