Dramatic Reviewer Finds Co-Eds Have Little Interest In Vague Matrimonial Plans Girls Come Here to Keep from Getting Married Purposeful Women are Here for Education Reporter Offered Tea. WOMEN ARE NOT TO BE ALLOWED IN PHI ASSEMBLY 'Chappell Issues Warning Against Danger of Mixed Society Precedent Should not Be Broken. ' By Beachcomber Summer is gone but spring! still lingers on the campus, as the movies have it. For the Co ed House has blpssomed forth in all the colors of corticelli silks and the fragrance of Houbigant and Hoyt's. There is something about the arrival of a new bunch of Co-eds that strikes terror to the masculine heart-co-eds as a rule are flippant and frighten ing. All we can do however is to grit our teeth and look them over, for we accept them now as more or less of a necessary evil. After an exhaustive grilling that lasted some three hours last night, a special representative of this paper gathered from the co eds their statistics, peculiarities, and reasons for : coming here. These were noted carefully, to gether with their ambitions, in terests, and -ah- ankles. The outstanding piece of in formation gathered is that Caro lina men are not looked on at all favorably by the Co-eds as pros pective husbands. Last year 99 percent of the co-eds . avowed their intentions of matrimony. This year only one professes any desire at all to enter into marital entanglements. The major part (Continued on page four) POSTPONE INITIATIONS Important resolutions held the attention of a large and actively interested group at the meeting of the Phi Assembly, Tuesday night. The initation ceremonies, which were to be the feature of this meeting, were definitely posponed until the next meeting. Fourteen new men Teceived the obligations of the Assembly. The first resolution concerned the admittance of Co-eds into the society. As was to be ex pected, this idea had its vigorous champion. Mr. Parker spoke of the inspiration that could be sup plied by the presence of nature's fairest in that Hall. With the equality of woman in every field, he was in favor of her admit tance into th'e Assembly. Female law students also could find in the society a means of increasing their speaking ability, he said Mr. Whitley agreed with the pre vious speaker, with the added opinion that the Co-eds were too few in number to warrent the establishment of their own liter ary society. It remained for Mr. Chappell to oppose this resolution. He spoke of the necessity of fol lowing precedence in this matter, since there was no mixed liter ary societies in the large uni versities, he was not in favor of their presence here. Girls in the society, according to the speak er, will also tend to take the minds- of members away from serious thinking. The vote of the Assembly showed it opposed to this resolution. A provision that the co-eds be invited to the society to find their opinions of this question was passed. The next resolution was the working out of some plan for keeping students off the grass, of the campus grounds. In spite of a great deal of discussion,,no real decision could be reached. It was decided by vote to table this resolution indefinitely. V W. T. Couch, assistant direc tor of the University Press, is making a tour of the eastern United States. While away Mr. Couch will attend the meeting of the American Library Associa tion which is meeting at Atlan tic City, N. J., this week. German Club to Meet . j In Memorial Hall Today j !

GRAIL WILL GIVE DANCE SATURDAY " The Order of the Grail is mak ing all possible efforts that its initial dance of the season, to be held in Bynum Gymnasium Sat urday night, be fitting opener for the autumn season. . A record crowd of visitors here for the gridiron fray in the afternoon will remain over for the occasion, and it will be a goodly-array of grace, beauty, and gallantry that assembles on the ballroom floor to trip the foolish toe at the year's first hop. Many girls have been in vited by those of special social aspirations and the acceptances are pouring in fast. Many last minute decisions will be made as usual, and some fortunate boys will miss the game in order to meet a train in Durham. Kyser and his Orchestra have been engaged to make the music, and the dancers of the campus are looking forward to the d& but of the new orchestra. COACHES TALK AT BIG PEP MEETING Students Exhibit Splendid Spirit Last Night Mangum and Fetzer Deliver Speeches. . Weaver to Talk to Durham Kiwanis Club Mr. Weaver and Mr. McCor- kle of the University Music De partment will meet with the Durham Kiwanis Club today to discuss Community Music in Durham and other cities of the state. Mr. Weaver will make a talk more orN less in the form of a discussion in regard to the above mentioned topic. His experience in a thing of this type has brought the Durham Kiwanis Club to the place where they wish his advice on the subject concerning community music in the jcity. There will be a musical pro gram also, with Mr. T. Smith McCorkle taking the leading part. This is part of a movement on foot to get the state lined up with the University Music De partment. Other programs similar to this are to be put on in other cities of this state. The greatest outburst of en thusiasm at Carolina in many months was shown last night by the student body at the "pep" meeting called by the Cheerios in Memorial Hall. With the com pact organization of Cheerios, and the pep of the entire stu dent body behind them, Car lina has every indication for a real fighting machine and stu dent body to oppose the game cocks Saturday. Talks by Dr. Charles Mangum and Coach Bob Fetzer stirred the students to enthusiastic ath letic loyalty and ye old time Carolina support and spirit. In his talk CoachBob brought forth the idea of trying to establish a better understanding between the Carolina football team and the student body, and to acquaint the student body with the condi tions existing on account of the change in material and the new system of coaching. "While we have made a poor start, the student body should be as lenient and liberal as possible, and patient, and refrain from too hasty opinion as to the final outcome of the season. We can't expect to have real success un less we have the cooperation and understanding of the student body. Your cooperation and support and loyalty- are more necessary at this time tfian ever, and the time for the campus to work together to bring about a successful season is when pros pects are poor and things look gloomy," said Coach Bob. . He stated that the team needs an expression of confidence by the student body, and that there ought to be a fighting spirit aris ing in the student body which should be contagious to the team. Instead of ridicule and knocking, the students ought to be square ly behind their team, concluded Coach Bob. The talk of Dr. Mangum was an inspiration to the student body and the team to pull together toward a success ful football season this fall, as he related in vivid terms the Caro lian spirit and tradition by which Carolina men have been inspired in the past years. Language Association Met Tuesday Night ' In a meeting held last Tuesday night the mem bers of the Philological Club were asked by their president the advisability of inviting The Modern Language Association of America, which meets this year at Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., during the Christmas holidays, to hold their next session, 1927, at the University of North Carolina. After a discussion the president was empowered to appoint a committee to con sider the steps necessary in order to get the Associ-r ation to meet for the first time in North Carolina at the University. COACHES SHIFT MEN FOR SOUTH CAROLINA GAME Warren Changed to Right Tack le Shuler and Beard are Now Guards Many on Sick List. SOUTH CAROLINA IS CONFIDENT OF VICTORY Strong University of Maryland Team Defeated by Visitors Neighbors have Downed Tar Heels only Once. The ; Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity initiated Buster Gregory of Salisbury on Monday night. Coaches "Chuck" Collins and his assistants have been labor ing tirelessly this week on Em erson Field to fill the gaps caus ed by injuries to regular play ers, and to remove certain flaws which developed in the Tennes see game the past Saturday. "K. 0." Warren, former stal wart end, has been shifted to right tackle where he should prove a strengthening factor through his ability to use his hands. McMurray, Dill, Presson, and McDaniels are being used on the end positions at the present time of -writing. Shuler, star mem ber of last year's freshman ag gregation, together with Beard has been transferred to guard position. Captain Whisnant is recovering rapidly from injuries received in Saturday's game. On the injured list are Foard with dislocated musoies in his shoulder, Josephs with water on the knee, Supple with an ear abscess, and Shuford with an in jured wrist. The morale and spirit of the players has brightened visibly during the past two days and the prospects of the coming bat tle with, the University of South Carolina "Gamecocks" are not as dark as was the general feel ing Sunday night. South Carolina comes to Chap el Hill with the scalps of two decisive victories hanging from their belts. The first game end ed with a five touchdown margin over Erskine college. Mary land's crack team was the next aggregation to succumb to the crashing offense of the Game cocks. The score was 12 to 0, despite the fact that South Car olina was minus the services of two vaulable players who were on the injured squad. The invaders from the South will appear on Emerson Field Saturday with victory on their lips and confidence in their hearts.

It was decided that fraternity bids to freshmen would be con ferred through the office of the Dean of Students, according to the custom established last year. Dean Francis F. Bradshaw and Dean A H. Patterson were therefore selected as faculty member of Executive Committee, while H. Buck was made chair man, and W. A. Vanstory, and John Finley compose the aduiti- j onal members from the Inter- ! "-fraternity Council. This group of five is for the purpose of hearing and trying all alleged violations of rushing regula tions, and also in a ministerial capacity on bid day. In the line of separate busi ness, the council elected Lambda Chi Alpha, formed last year from the petitioning local Gam ma Delta, to membership in the council ,by majority vote. BILL FAVORING EXCUSES DOWNED BY DI SENATE Kyser's Cheering Plan Approved Eleven New Men v Initiated. NAME FALL COMMITTEES The Dialectic Senate held its third meeting for the year last Tuesday night, with more than forty regular members present. Eleven new men were initiated. They are: S. G. Lindsay, J. N. Callahan, T. M. Church, F. A. Pollard, W. J. Adams, Jr., M. Watt, J. H. Mebane, H. J. Fox, J. H. Parsons, Louis Holland, and G. A. Long. Resolved : that the Di Senate go on record as approving the new plan of cheering introduced by Kyser, was the first resolu tion1 discussed! , The resolution was unanimously passed, after a short talk by Senator H. N. Brown. The next resolution to be discussed was, Resolved : that the Di Senate go on record as favoring the recent article ap pearing in the Tar Heel entitled "Excuses". This resolution was discussed by Senators Kennett, Gilreath, Carroll, and Fordham. The motion was defeated by a vote of 45 to 5. - The bill to be discussed at the next meeting reads as follows: A bill to be entitled an act, pro viding for the establishment of compulsory military training in (Continued on page four) SQUAD IS REDUCED Several Players Are Forced to Abandon Practice Temporarily. 39 MEN STILL ON SQUAD New Men Fill Gaps Made by the Players' - Inactivity. Fraternities Shower Attention on Frosh "Bootlicking", free "Picks" Drinks are Precursors of Coming Greek Battle and By Brown Shepherd, Jr. On Monday the University's football squad was narrowed down to thirty-nine men. . Faulkner has found that he is unable to remain in school. Williams and Beam, . re serve ends, Sides, and several other scrubs have quit the squad. ' , " The coaches feel no concern over those men who quit the squad merely from lack of spirit and stamina to continue the grind, but are anxious to remove obstacles that have forced some of the players to discontinue their training. Saturday's game removed all the fight from several gridiron warriors of the University, and failure to make the trip sapped the fortitude of others. The sys tem of football being introduc ed at Carolina requires a squad composed of men who are game under any conditions, and men who will fight and keep their heads up till the last. The squad has not been materially weaken ed by the loss of men who did not qualify under these condi tions. - It is expected that several of the men who quit were suffering merely from a temporary at tack of radicalism, and they will be back on the field before the close of the week. The Tennessee system appar ently calls for particularly rough treatment to opposing guards. The game resulted in the loss of the services of three Tar Heel guards, and Captain Whisnants ribs were more or less stove in. Shuler, former freshman, guard who was rapidly develop ing into a first class varsity end, has been transferred back to the guard position to fill the gap created by the Volunteers Satur day. Too much class work has been the main factor in causing mem bers of the squuad to cease their activities on Emerson field. Sev eral of the men are more effect ive in other sports, and wish to pass their work this quarter in order to be eligible for varsity teams during the spring and winter quarters. The announcement of the of ficial pledge day by the Inter- Fraternity Council as October 27 served as a pistol shot to start the Greeks on their annual Mar athon with renewed vigor. It is becoming more concentrated, more open, and in most cases more desperate with only three more weeks before the Period of Silence brings an end to the 1926 race for Freshmen. Nightly the crowd waiting for dates in front of the drug stores increases. The season of free "Picks", free drinks, and obvi ous "bootlicking" has come to (Continued on page four) The University of North Caro lina Branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers will meet tonight at seven-fifteen in Room 206 of Phillips Hall. Frosh Who Want to Wrestle Meet Tonight All members of the fresh man class who are interest ed in wrestling, whether they have had previous ex perience or not, are request ed to report at a meeting to be held in Gerrard Hall tonight at 8:30.
