' yv ...f;;v;. if 'Previous records during the present ' season place the two elevens on an even footing in the world of football dopesters. Each team has displayed strength at, times, but the re sults of most games played have been far from encouraging for both the. Keydeta and Carolina. V. M. I. was not picked to win against Monk Younger's felines last Saturday, The victory, de cisive as it was, indicates ' marked improvement in the. playing of the Lexington out fit. Davidson made only half the number of first downs ac credited to the Virginians, and were forced to employ defensive tactics during a large part of the contest. Carolina's offense worked to better effect against N. C. State the past Saturday than has hitherto been the case this year. The Blue and White squad came through the fray in excellent physical shape and is expected to be at the summit of its strength against the invaders from Lexington. In past contests the Tar Heels have had a decided edge on the Flying Squadron. Out of seven teen games played the Chapel Hill team has won ten, dropped five, and tied two. - To pick a favorite next Satur day would require use of imag ination rather than facts. Foot ball fans ; throughout Virginia and North Carolina look forward to the meeting on Emerson Field next Saturday with con siderable interest and specula tion. A large crowd is expected to witness the approaching en counter between the Tar Heels and their ancient rivals from the Old Dominion state. . .. .Trackmen to Run The University students will get their first sight of Coach Dale Ransom's varsity and freshman cross country teams Saturday when they engage in a meet with the teams from State college. The meet is to take place between the halves of the Carolina-V. M. I. football game. ' ',, ; State college varsity defeated Davidson last week by finishing its seven entries before a single Davidson man had crossed the finish line. Carolina easily con quered Duke at Durham last Friday , in its first meet of the season. These two meets are the only basis upon which the two teams' can be compared. The Tar .Heels, however, will face their strongest opposition in North Carolina when they race against the technicians from Ra leigh. ; ' ' .

Goodwin, another two mile (Continued on page four) ' ' 1 We CAre Sorry Through an error the Tar Heel announced in its Calendar a' series of lec tures by Major E. L. Swann this week. Major Swann will not be at Carolina this week, but will probably be brought here under the aus pices of the Y. M: C. A. some time during - the month. A tentative date for his lectures was held open in the date book' on the Executive ; office, and was therefore placed on the University Calendar, where the JTar Heel received the information. ' " ' ' ; UNIVERSITY TO -; HELP ESTABLISH MILITARY COURSES RESOLUTION MEETS DEATH IN DI SENATE ' VX1f?7I Bledsoe Makes 'Fiery Speeches I for Preparedness -Training Kennett is Leader of the ; V" Opposition - - In one of 'the most interest ing meetings 6f the quarter, the Di Senate voted, 30 to 4, against compulsory military training in colleges.-';:- '' ' The resolution: Resolved that the Di Senate go on record as favoring compulsory military training in all colleges and uni versities in the United States, was sponsored by Senator Hud gins, who made an excellent presentation' in its. behalf. He was assisted by Senator Bledsoe, who made several fiery speeches. The opposition was lead by Sen ator Kennett. Senators Nor wood, Eaton, Alexander, Byron Glenn, Crissman, and Neal also spoke opposing i the resolution. Although the proponents claimed that great physical benefits, and no tnilitaristic re gime would result from this measure, the contention of the negative that a morally corrupt militaristic spirit would ensue, and that this military training was out of place in a college pro gram, carried the day.

' ;? t '- :-:.ir-w-r : HIBBARD INVESTIGATES WESTERN UNIVERSITIES' ORIENTATION METHODS C. A. Hibbard, Dean of the School of Liberal Arts, has re turned from a tour of several of the more prominent of the mid-western ; universities. He was interested primarily in the methods of orientation employ ed, the work being done in the field of the Fine Arts, and the means used in securing a more perfect adaptation of the ex ceptional student. While away Dean Hibbard visited the Uni-. versity of Illinois, the Univer sity of Chicago, the University of Wisconsin, the University of Iowa, the University of Minne sota, observing the work done in these fields for the exception al student, the Fine Arts, and orientation. Orientation is not essentially for freshmen ; this work in some Gimghoul Castle Is A Replica of Mediaeval Saxon Stronghold Piney Prospect, Site of Edifice, Was Once a Setting for a Fatal Lovers Duel Over a Colonial Lass - By Thad M. Reece One of the most unique pieces of architecture to be found any where in the United States is that of the Gimghoul castle on Piney - Prospect a half a mile East of here. The structure, which is in keeping with the age of knighthood upon the ideals of which the Gimghoul order was founded, represents in every way possible a , stronghold of pre-Norman England. ' Like the castle sites ' of old Saxon Eng- and Piney Prospect is a hill that tops the "neighboring ridges by several hundred . feet. From this commanding position a mag nificent view of the lowlands ast can be had. The enemy -were this the glorious age of knighthood could be seen ap proaching long before he could get within striking distance of Gimghoul castle, ; " , Description The stone-work of this build ing was done by Waldensians from Valdese, a small village near Morganton. The type of masonry is imitation dry-build which was common in England as late as the eleventh century. Plans were furnished by N. C. Curtis, who graduated from the University with the. class "of 1900, member of the Gimghouls, and at present professor of ar chitecture at Tulane University. The castle consists of a large hall, 55 feet long, 35 feet wide, and 20 feet high, a stair tower 50 feet high with a diameter of seven feet, and a larger tower which is made up of a reception, chapter, and tower rooms and deck. In front of the castle fac ing Southward is a long terrace, 78 feet in length by 14 feet wide, with doors from the assembly hall opening onto it. On entering the building through a door at the left the visitor goes into the reception room, the first floor of the larger tower, and, upon opening two large portals at his right, finds himself in the "Great Hall." Similar to the great halls of An glo, Saxon, and Dane as so often referred to in Beowulf, the walls are of rough stone. Wheel-like chandeliers of hand-forged iron hang from , the- ceiling, but an electric bulb replaces the tallow candle of the Saxon. At the end of the hall on the right of a mezzanine or "Min-, scnoois is given in tne senior year. It is not concerned with the teaching of facts so much as the instilling of principles into the minds, of the students. As an example, there is a course given at the University of Chi cago called "Man and Society", which is taught by sixteen pro fessors. These different special ists in the different fields of sci ence unite to teach one great principle, that there is order, in all the different realms of ie universe. In this course the student is introduced superficial ly to sixteen different sciences, but is primarily taught a few of the great principles that operate in the lives of men through ge ology, astronomy, anthropology, chemistry, etc. The morning that Hibbard visited the class the subject discussed was "geo graphical boundaries and their influence -' upon politics" ; as shown, through history. At some of the universities the work of orientation is approach ed through other subjects as, for instance, social science, psy chology, and the fine arts. ' In' regard to the field of Fine Arts a number of questions im mediately present themselves, what subjects to use, now to or ganize the courses, whether the Courses should be cultural, es thetic, or practical, and where instructors may be obtained. A great deal of thought and some little experimentation has been given this work here. The so ciological course on the family and Dr. Bernard's courses on architecture are examples of the beginnings already made in this field. Dr. Chase himself ' has considered this work for the last three years, and Dean Hib bard's report last spring con tained recommendations with regard to this work. We have a number of courses in music, drama,, and comparative liter ature, as' well as courses in ar chitecture in the School of En gineering, which could be cor related in the formation of such a fine arts study. As to the subject of the ex ceptional student the methods used are as various as the seats of learning. At the University (Continued on page four) Deutscher Vereinians To Gather in Parish House The regular meeting of the Deutscher Verein will be held this (Thursday) evening at 7 o'clock at the Episcopal Parish House. A number of interest ing talks are to be made, enter taining German games will be played, and several German songs will be sung. . All are re quested to attend this meeting which promises to be both in tersting and educational. RED CROSS DRIVE HERE ON CAMPUS IS DISCUSSED BY THE Y CABINETS The meeting of the Y. M. C. A.- Cabinet Mondajs night was occupied mainly with discussion of the annual Red Cross cam paign on the campus for the campus for the year, the annual meeting of the National Coun cil, and the National Student Conference at Milwaukee, on December 28th, The Red Cross campaign will be held during November, but the plan of the campaign has not yet been worked out. . Nor man' Block, Donald ; Jonas, and S. G. Chappell were appointed to draw up plans for the cam paign. ' Mr. Comer talked to the Cabinet concerning the annual meeting of the National Y. M. C. A. Council at Chicago, which he attended as a delegate last week. He reported that the Student Department made . its first successful step in its at tempt to secure more freedom in its program by defeating the proposal brought before the Council to restrict the Student Branch and give more power to the State Department. He stat ed that the major part of the meeting was consumed by the controversy,' and that the appeal of the College bodies for an or ganization to bring them clos er together was greatly advanced. The National Student Confer ence, to be held in Milwaukee, December 28, to January 1, was brought before the cabinet as one of the most significant Inter-Collegiate " events of the present - student generation. This conference will be concern ed with facing the issues of to day's life, through addresses, data, sessions, and free discus sions. The attendance is restrict- (Continued on page three) , THREE HOURS IS GIVEN TO DAILY STUDY BY FROSH Tar Heel Time Survey is Success Startling Information is Disclosed on Cards INFORMATION USED BY TO BE UNIVERSITY One Scholar Spent 48 Hours in Travelling During the Week . According to statistics com piled from the recently-completed survey of the students' time made by the Tar Heel, the aver age - i freshman spends ' three hours and thirty-five minutes every day in studying. On class and laboratory he spends three hours and eight minutes a day and self-help work takes up an hour and two minutes of his time. He devotes forty-one min utes each day to athletics, twenty-eight minutes to bull-sessions, twpntv.fmir mi-nnoa n roli'mnn and religious work, eighteen minutes each to music and so cial activities, and fifteen min utes to attending the Pick. A large number -of the sur vey cards were turned in, and those sponsoring the study re ceived vaulable information from the results. Authorities will probably apply the facts learned about the students' use of their time to adjustments in curriculum and schedules. Beginning with the distribu tion of the cards in Chapel Fri- daily record of the distribution of their time until the next Fri day (Oct. 29); when the cards were turned in. Accuracy was stressed as one of the prime es sentials of the survey. , (Continued on page four) WORKMAN TO TALK ON "MAKERS OF FREEDOM" The rev. M. T. Workman, Dean of the Chapel Hill School of Re ligion, will give the first of a se- fries of addresses at the evening service in the Methodist Church on the "Makers of Freedom." The rev.. Workman in dealing with the first phase of the sub ject will talk on Martin Luther one of the early founders of protestanism. ' Special addresses on the main subject of the series will deal with schismatic his torical events. Radio-Active Sterilization of ' the Insane Is Explained to Phi Resolution Favoring Impotency of Irrational People is Passed by Vote of 22 to 14 Smoking Motion is Downed At the meeting of the Phi As sembly, Tuesday night, the reso lution was favored, that all in curable insane should be steri lized, in a manner to be pres cribed by the State Board of Health. The interest evinced in the question necessitated an ex tra time period. , The majority of the speakers seemed to heartily support this! resolution. Mr. Spivey concrete ly explained the question and cleared up many false concep tions concerning . sterilization. Castration, according to him, is not the means to be employed for sterilization. It is rather a scientific radio-active process that painlessly renders the pa tient sterile without depriving him of his normal sexual capa bilities. In its last analysis sterilization is but an harmless operation which is a necessary social,, factor in decreasing the ever-growing number of insane that mounts at the rate of twelve thousand yearly. Mr. Johnson favored the added idea of segre gation of incurable insane. The opposition to this resolu tion was led by Mr. Whitley. He llustrated the difficulty in draw ing a line between the partly de mented and totally insane. The most learned, it was pointed out, are subject to severe fits of depression that border on insan ity. It is a fearful idea to pos sibly make a man suffering from a temporary mania attack impo tent to reproduce. Mr. Mew born contributed the opinion that all persons suffering from venereal diseases should be ster ilized. The final vote of the As-. sembly was 22 to 14 for the reso lution. : A motion to permit the mem bers to smoke during the session " of the society was discussed and defeated. William Hill was administered the obligations of the Assembly.
