AUSTRALIAN BALLOT USED Monday October "eleventh has been set as the date for the ' final vote in the freshman class elections. This date was given by the student body at the chapel service yesterday morning by S. G. Chappell, president of the -student body. . With the election only two days ahead, the politicians .of . -the class of 30 are making strong pleas for their candidates. The campus is buzzing with flowery oratory by the freshmen "Boss N es." Every freshman who ven tures across the campus is met by several men. . All the men are talking and trying to use their influence for their respective candidate. The strife is centered around from the western part of the state. One, of the men comes ' from the extreme western poy tion of the state. Browlow Jackson, a member of the fresh man football squad, comes to Carolina direct from Henderson- ville high school. Jackson is one of the most promising members of the f rosh grid team. The posi tion he has been playing is cen ter and reports say that he is proving to be a valuable player. J( N. Callahan, who polled the largest number of votes in the primary Monday, is offering the , opposition to Jackson. Callahan entered the University after (Continued on page three) Students From Church Societies Will Discuss Religious ; Questions of Interests." EXPECT BIG ATTENDANCE The Young People's Interde nominational Union will hold its fall meeting in the Baptist church Sunday night at 8 :00. An unusual program has been planned by the Union executive committee. The subject to be dicussed is Spiritual Cowardice. Every phase of the. question as it es pecially concerns college stu dents will be taken up by several students chosen by the Execu- tive committee from the Young People's church organizations on the; campus. J. W. Crew will speak on the "Cause of Spiritual Cowardice,' The results of Spiritual Coward ness will be discussed by Billy Farrell. M. A. James will give "A warning to the Drifter". It is an' interesting fact that Carolina students are gradually drifting toward interdenomina- tionalism. ' "Church distinction" according to President Galen El Hot of the Union is becoming Obvious continually. , At the end of the business part of the meeting there will be music by a soloist " and a stringed trio. ' Heavy Social Season Gets Under way With Three Grail . . Dances on Schedule. KYSER'S ORCHESTRA PLAYS Tonight in Bynum Gymnasi um, the order of the Grail will give its first dance of the year, thereby inaugurating the fall season of University dances. The affair, is expected to be a record breaking success and the cam pus is looking forward eagerly to the proof of the pudding. Kike Kyser's orchestra has been engaged to make the music. The fact that it is the opener for the season's social , event makes it an occasion of impor tance, and the large number of out-of-town visitors which the football fray this afternoon will attractto the Hill' will" add vari ety, color and above all femin inity. What could be finer? The girls who have been invited have returned a gratifying number of acceptances " and everything points to an able representation of the weaker sex on the ball room floor tonight ; - The coming season looms promising for the socially inclin ed. There seems to be a col lection of brilliant occasion just before us that should dellight the most blase element of the campus. The Grail announces a dance for the week-end of the N. C. State game- October' SO, with another on the thirteenth of November. There are to be some Weidemeyer dances at Durham at the time of the V. M. I. game. The Juniors plan a hop which is to be the first of its kind ever held here. Then, tocap the climax, come the Thanksgiving dances on the week-end of the Virginia game.

This will be the first time she was ever licked. Brunswick (Ga.) Pilot. By D. T.Seiwell The largest and most enthus astic demonstration of the tra ditional Carolina pep was wit nessed last night in Memorial Hall when Kike and his now famous "Cheerios" staged their first . pep meeting of the year. Approximately one thousand students attended the gigantic performance, with numerous co eds in evidence, f Kike was undoubtedly the out standing star of the evening, his contagious enthusiasm being caught by the entire crowd be fore the meeting had more than started. He and his "Cheerios" were given a big hand when they opened the program with a song, written by Kyser especially for the cheering squad. S. G. Chappel, President of the Student Body; stressed the need of every mans giving his best in backing the team this afternoon. He decried the fact that men of this University were backing op posing teams, and declared them unworthy to bear the name of Carolina students. He was followed by Collins, Head Coach of football, who, on behalf of the coaching staff and the football squad, praised Kike and his loyal body of "Cheerios" for the splendid work they are doing in their efforts to raise the spirit from its recent slump. He offered no excuses or alibis for the last two defeats, and de clared that in both games the (Continued on page four) THE NEW CAROLINA MAGAZINE RECEIVES ENTHUSIASTIC PRAISE Reviewer Is Doubtful that the Plan Will Encourage Creative Work from Campus Writers Congratulates , Editor for Fine First Issue.

GAMECOCKS STRONG Tar Heels Have Been Consider ably Strengthened by the Re turn of Faulkner " Mid Ellison to Squad. LINE IS MUCH STRONGER DIRECTED BY 3 COACHES By "Mutt" Evans . By Dr. A The first issue of the Carolina Magazine, only seven days late, is pleasing to look at. I congrat ulate the editor on having secur ed 1 one of the most attractive covers I have seen recently, the new format also deserves a word of praise. The head-and-tail pieces, the initials, the orna ments and the marginal label ling of pages all make it a pleas ure to look at the printed pagei ine size or the new magazine is convenient and .'quite in keep ing with modern trends in maga zine design. For the mechanical side of the work, I have nothing but praise. In fact, when I think of the magazine as a whole, I have little but praise for it. It is one of the best first issues of the magazine I've seen in several years, and it should be with the talent it has secured. But let me hasten to add that if is not the local con tributors who give to it this air of excellence; they are on a par with' the usual student perfor mances. Any magazine which contains work by Eric Waldron, by Alfred Kreymyorg, by Sara Haardt, is bound to be worth C. Howell reading. If we check through the table of contents, we find ten contributors who are not resi dents of the University, nor of the community; of Chapel Hill. If we add the names' of the three book reviewers, we have a total of six students who contributed to this issue, and two of them are no longer with us. EssentiaHy, then, the maga zine is a foreign product ; and its excellence is due largely to for-l eign contributors and to the energy of its editor. His new policy, following the lead of the Duke University Archive has possibilities; it has produced a better magazine; it may encour age home talent or it may kill the magazine as a University enterprise. Time will tell, but I am frankly doubtful of the pro ceeding. The alarming '; thing about the business is this: in a University of twenty-five hun dred students,' only four can be found whose contributions are considered '. worth publishing, and even more deploring" is the fact that the majority of the wenty-five hundred boast a state of mental apathy toward things (Continued on page four) As the freshman footbai sguad slips into its fourth wee! of football practice, a semblance of a team is rapidly forming it self and aided by ' ferocious scrimmages with Coach Collin'; rejuvenated varsity eleven the yearlings have reached a stage of perfection that in itself is pre diction of another splendid year for the proteges of Coaches Beld tng, Pritchett and Quinlan Never in the history of the school have the first year men i 9 n been so remorselessly and con sistently used as combatants for the Varsity men. . Coach Collins is a firm believer of the old adage that a team thatx scrimmages against its own self is merely biting off its head to spite its face or maybe he knows that dis sension in the ranks of any or ganization breeds discontent therefore he has made it a daily part of the menu of the Varsity gridders that a free and umiti gated period of the day ! be de voted to dissension with the freshmen. And the results of the daily set-tos with the heavier, more experienced Varsity men is already beginning to clearly evi dence itself. The freshmen backs have picked up worlds of drive, and the line men are charging with a zeal and zest that bodes nothing but ill for the first team that crosses the path of the Tar Babies. . The squad of men that first answered the call to practice, about three weeks ago is not the 3quad that today is hurrying hith er and yon at the call of the coaches. Five teams are all that remain from the ten or more that first flowed like a brown wave over the Frosh field. From the fifty or more men that are (Continued on page three) .The South Carolina Game cocks come to Chapel Hill today with the avowed purpose of re venging themselves for a long string of defeats administered by North Carolina over a period of 23 years. Only once in fifteen starts has South Carolina emerged victor. That was in '24. Coach Metzer brought a smooth functioning organization to Chapel Hill and succeeded in defeating the Fet zerr team 10 to 7 in a thrilling contest. The first fray recorded be tween the two Carolina Univer sities brings back the names of such renowned stars as Foy Rob ertson, Albert Cox, Perry Seag le, Roach Stewart, Nat Town send, and , W. P. Jacocks all well, known North Carolina a lumni. This team defeated South Carolina 17 to 0, and re peated the following year with a 27 to 0 win. In , 1908 the Tar , Heels won 22 to 0, and in 1910 were victors again by the margin of 27 to 6. The following year North Carolina turned in a 21 to 0 suc-cesSt,.,-,,,, ..... The Tar Heels continued their series of wins, excepting one tie game in 1912, up to the time of the war in 1914. No further games are recorded until 1920 when North Carollina won G Lo 0. The following year's contest resulted in a tie score. In '22 the Fetzer brothers' South At lantic champions won 10 to 7. North Carolina enjoyed a mar gin of 14 to 0 in 1923, but were finally defeated 10 to 7 in '24. Last year the Tar Heels receiv ed the breaks of the game and won 7 to 0. The Gamecocks boast the best team in their .football history, and went a long ways towards proving, the fact by winning decisively over the , formidable Maryland eleven last Saturday.
