VOLUME XXXVII CHAPEL HILL, N. C SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1928 NUMBER 10 Tar Heels Seek Inttersectional Glory in Battle With Harvard Great kackfields Will, Vie for Honors; Game at Soldier's Field. Soldiers Field, Cambridge, Mass., will witness a renewal of a rivalry that ended twelve years agol For this afternoon a team, wearing the traditional blue of the University of North Carolina, will battle a team, boasting the- time-worn crimson of Harvard. : :.:-fhigXW -Until recent years it was seldom that a Southern team invaded the East or North with anything resemb ling hopes of a victory. But. a few years ago Center College sent eleven men to Cambridge to play Harvard. The Crimson won that year, but the score was close. The following year "Bo" McMillan showed his heels to -the Harvard eleven; from that date on the big teams of the Atlantic Sea board took more notice of the South ern elevens. No. longer did Southern managers card games with the teams of the East and North in vain hope that some enthusiastic publicity man might say of such and such a team that it had a great eleven as it held the Eastern Champions to a three touchdown victory. Since then there has been hopes of victory in the breasts of every southerner as his team ventured into foreign territory to battle for national recognition. - Such is the hope that the Carolina team carries with it into the lair of Coach Arnold Horween's Crimson eleven. The hopes of the Tar Heels are 'based on their great t reserve strength. Not in many years has Carolina boasted such a galaxy of players that can deliver when called upon. Not in many years has a Tar Heel team boasted of 91 points scored in its first two games. Thus the Heels are optimistic. But no less optimistic are the fol lowers of the Crimson eleven, for . Coach Arnold Horween, former cap tain and star of one of the pre-war Harvard elevens, has the best pros pects for a winning team since he be came head coach three years ago. In formation emanating from the Har vard camp indicates that the Crim son will once again occupy the heights it boasted before the war. An array of backs that would do credit to any team is at the disposal of the Harvard coach, and though its line may not be as strong as in past years, ye it is good. 4 Both teams have rolled up scores in its early games. ,The' Heels slaugh tered Wake Forest and then defeated Maryland by one touchdown. The " Cambridge eleven, in defeating Springfield College 30-0, played its (Continued on page three) SOCIAL ORDERS IMTIATE SOPHS minds of sexes WfMdeciires MRS. JOHN COUCH Woman Attacks Co-education at Meeting of University "By no logical means can one reach the conclusion that men's and women's minds are alike,"- said Mrs. John Couch at a meeting of the University debate class Thursday night in 201 Murphy. "Women are not inferior to men, but they are certainly dif ferent from men" she declared. Mrs. Couch attacked co-education on the grounds of inefficiency, and stated that this was due to the fact that men and women are interested in different phases of activity. By means of citations from her own ex perience she pointed out that men and women need different types of 1 edu cation. In discussing the problem of mating with respect to its co-educatipnal as pect she said that, the four year period of college ife was not a mating sea son and that the mating problem should be solved after the period of college, life. "Social life in a college need not be lop-sided because of the absence of either sex," she declared. She continued her argument by pointing out that in a co-educational institution the fact that women com pete with men causes them to take advantage of men because of the time-honored idea that mankind must respect womankind. ' Mrs. Couch declared that the as sociation, of men and women comes natural and does not need , to be cul tivated. The spirit of comradeship need not become entirely dormant be cause of the absence : of one of the sexes on a college campus. -' Quoting from authoritative sources she stated, in conclusion, that gradu ates of strictly feminine collegeshave attained greater efficiency in pro fessional life than graduates of co educational institutions.

TO ENTERTAIN TEAM The Southern Society at Cambridge, Mass., has invited the Carolina foot ball squad and all University of North Carolina alumni to a complimentary dance. following the Harvard game at Cambridge. The invitation was ex tended through Lawrence Watt, for mer Carolina star hurdler. North Carolina has jumped ahead of her neighboring states since the Civil War because she came out of that conflict in better shape for the future than they did, Robert H. Lath- an, editor jpf the Asheville Citizen, declared in Memorial Hall &)itd$ delivering the principal Sddfess at exercises commemorating the iSSth anniversary of the University. Asserting that "there has ' been in America no finer illustration of de mocracy in action" than in the de velopment of North Carolina, Mr. Lathan explained that "it is the vig or, the faith and the intelligence with which' North Carolina has asserted the democratic principle during the past thirty years that has so distin- , guished her from her neighbors." "Outsiders are , astonished at the progress of our schools and even more astonished at the success of our road program," he declared. "North Car olinians themselves are astonished at these things. But there is no mys tery about any of it. "The school movement which was initiated by Alderman and Aycock and Mclver was but a revival "of the movement which first fruited on this very spot a full century before. Where else could such a revival have been looked for with more assurance? It had back of it the same realiza tion that ignorance is the deadliest foe of liberty and that the first duty of a free people is to consult the happiness of the rising generation ; and fit them for the intelligent dis charge of their obligations in so. ciety. v X ': ' "So also as to the highways. It is not simply mileage in improved thoroughfares which North Carolina has acquired . that is so significant. The more significant thing is that North Carolina led the way in com prehending that the obligations rest on the state to secure for its entire citizenship the opportunities of which they are robbed where highways re main unimproved; the opportunity to market their products; the opportun ity to send their children to adequate schools; the opportunity to mingle with their f ellow citizens throughout the Commonwealth and keep abreast of the movement of the times; the opportunity to become in truth citi zens of the state and fitted for such citizenship in mind, body and estate. This principle accepted, the rest fol lowed."; (Continued en page four) Clashing Greeks Prepare for Close of Rushing; Rushees Reports of Harvard Game Will Be Given While cleaning windows 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon at the home of Dr. A.

Verbal Warfare Becomes Hotter As Fateful Day Draws . Near. It is always darkest just before dawn. As the Greek war hears an end, and as the warriors realize that, soon they must fling . down their verbal swords, the strife rages hotter. The crowd in front of Patterson's grows thicker and tenser' each night, frosh are pursued more ardently than ever before, the rushers, mouths fair- ; ly drool altruisms, rushing ethics be gin to get a little loose here and there, and Venters, the big dog ef the whole outfit, sees fit to restate some of the rules as a gentle reminder. And under the surface, as usual, some sinister throatcutting goes on; though participants declare that there is less than in former years. By midnight of next Tuesday the last word will be spoken, the last cup drained, the last throat cut; for at twelve o'clock Tuesday night the period of silence begins. Then for two days the erstwhile rushers must keep their own counsel, and 'the erst while rushees must search their own hearts alone. The fateful hour is at 2:00 P. M. Thursday. ' At this time the pros pective frosh go to Memorial Hall to hear the bids read out. The prose lytes then wend their ways to the re spective fraternity houses and there receive the handshakes and all hails of the brotherhood.
