Advice to the Freshmen The bells atop South Building will sound with a familiar ring this morning as Carolina students drowsily wipe the sleep from their eyes and head for their first class of the new school year. The horrible prospect of rising for an 8 o'clock class each morning, how the new coeds will look, or what the' football team's chances are Saturday probably will be the chief conversational topics of the upperclassmen. But for the newcomers to Chapel Hill, some 1,000 freshmen, to day marks the beginning of a new era. Entrance into college actually amounts to turning over a new page of one's life. Most of you freshmen already have friends in the University, but by an large your companions for the next few years will be people who have never known you before you came to Carolina. They aren't aware of your strong points and weaknesses in high school. Even though you were a star fullback or the leading scholar in your class, the students you meet at Carolina don't know about it. And should they be told of your high school achievements, they probably won't be overly impressed. It's what you do at Caro lina that counts. Right now you have a clean slate before you. See that all the marks which you will put on it are to your credit. Aa a freshman at Carolina your first goal, of course, will be to increase your material knowledge through your studies. Don't fall into the habit many have of just doing enough to get by. Set your sights on an A in every course, although your grades have been only mediocre in high school. As . long as you are striving, for this top mark you will not have to worry about barely passing. And don't go into class with a feeling that college courses are so much harder than high school. A little study and determination will enable you to make just as good or better grades than you had at Reynolds, Central, Broughton, or Senior High. Moke Life Varied at University some extent in several of these fields will you take fullest advantage of the opportunities of college life. If you do take it upon yourself to do something at Caro lina besides play bridge or study, you slowly will come to realize that you have developed a better personality, and with it such qualities as wide range of interests, tact, and courtesy. , Probably the best way to improve yourself and get the most fun out of college is by meeting people. And the best way to meet people is by getting into some kind of activity. Your orientation counselors have told you of many active organizations on campus, among these being the Y, the Dia lectic and Philanthropic debating societies, the three campus political parties, the Glee Club, various dramatic societies, and the 28 campus, fraternities and sororities just to mention a few. ' And if you aren't able to make any of the varsity athletic teams, you can still have just as much fun participating in Carolina's very broad intramural athletic program. A team will be organized in your dormitory for most of the sports, and the competition is keen. Large, crowds turn out for the most important contests in each sport. On top of this you have at your access one of the finest athletic plants in the South, with Woollen Gymnasium, the Tin Can, Bowman Gray Pool, and other facilities available for individual work outs as well as organized competition. Everybody Must Give To Receive tests, and sorority open houses. You may not be able to take in all of them, but attend as many as possible. You'll find your four years at. Carolina aren't so long, and you may as well make them as full as possible. All told your extra-curricular activities will amount to something akin to a course in human relations. You should leave Carolina with a few thousand new acquaintances plus a number of life-long friends. Carolina has a lot to offer to the incoming freshman. It's not all visibly apparent but nevertheless the opportuni ty is here. You've simply got to contribute something to get something in return. Phillips Russell, one of the University's most distinguished professors, likens college life to the old fashioned Christmas party in which neighbors came in from miles around to hang gifts on the huge tree. Everybody brought something; and everybody got something. So it is at Carolina. Carolina students do have consciences. One Tar Heel gentleman pawned off a $200 jalopy this summer on an un suspecting customer. Feeling a little guilty about the high price, the Carolina boy gave into his conscience a few months later and returned $100 to the surprised purchaser. Sat Mtd DICK JENRETTE ..C. B. MEN DEN HALL CHUCK HAUSER BILLY CARMICHAEL III Studies come first, but outside of class you should find time to develop into a well rounded college man. Above all don't center your interest and activities in one field, such as scholarship, athletics, politics, or social life alone.

Nomination for shaggiest shaggy dog story of 1949 and I don't care whether you've heard it before or not: , A solemn-looking gentleman walks into a psychiatrist's of fice with a bacon and egg sand wich tied on the top of his head. He s a mess. Egg is runnmg down the sides of his face and curleycues of bacon are danc ing down to his ears. The psychiatrist, who has schooled himself to be im perturable in the presence of eccentrics, pretends not lo notice anything amiss. But he can't keep his eyes from the repulsive spectacle. At lart he can stand it no longer. But he still strives to maintain professional de tachment. "Ah, my dear fellow," he be gins, "and what seems to be the matter with you?" The sandwich-wearer looks at him blankly and cries: "There's nothing the matter with me, doctor. I came to see you about my brother." Crippstic remark: After the monetary talks had ended, Sir Stafford Cripps dropped in at the British Embassy here to say goodbye. He was asked whether, in his opinion, the American government was inclined to lump all the sterling countries together, or whether it was in clined to regard Britain as 'a separate cause. "Well," replied tHe Chancellor of the Exchequer, thoughtfully, "When we were here before we got the impression that the rest of the sterling area was more or less our disreputable mistress. Now we find we are not only married to her, but that she can cook." It seems it's going to be quite a while before we get over the visit of Cripps and Foreign Minister Beven. The other day Senator Tom Con nally. of Texas, was waiting for an elevator when Senator , Waller F. George, of Georgia, chairman of the finance com mittee, and Senator Eugene D. Millikin, of Colorado, rank ing Republican member of the same committee, came up. As the elevator door opened, Senator Connally drew back and, with a bow from the waist, waved his colleagues to pre cede him.. , "After you, Sir Stafford," he said to Senator George. "After you, Mr. Bevin," to Senator Mil likin. Late rr.cing news: pound sterling paid $2.80 for show. Mr. Ludwig (Curly) Camini-N ta, who used to be an adviser to Harold Ickes when old Mc Burp was Secretary of the In terior, but who now is a big public relations man in his own right, may be excused for think ing that Air. Force promotions come in startling suddenness. Mr. Caminita went to Grif fith Stadium with Charles I. Carpenter, chief of the' Air Force, chaplains. When they entered the ballpark Carpenter was only a Colonel. When they emerged he was a Major General. The Messrs. Caminita . and Carpenter had just about taken their seats and were watching the Nats at infield practice which they still do fairly well when the loudspeaker re quested Col. Carpenter to re port at the box office. There was aN message for him to call his wife. Mrs. Carpenter informed him that Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg had been trying to contact him. Col. Carpenter phoned Gen. Vanden berg. "It's nothing of any import ance, really," kidded the latter. "I just wanted to tell you that you are now a major general." Carpenter, it was explained, jumped the intervening grade of Brigadier General to give him equal rank with chiefs of chap lains in the Army and Navy. ; - QUITE POPULAR; FOR A VARJVUNT COMMUNIST - ..

I'm just another minnow in the big University pond here at Chapel Hill. I've always had a hanker ing to pound a typewriter, which, coupled with all that's been happening to me these past few days, makes me come up with the following. And, after all, I can't lose by showing it to the Editor. He might throw it back at me, but this paper is not heavy enough to hurt so here goes. I guess I should start by tak ing a deep breath and exhaling, "Ah, Carolina", which isn't a bad idea because that's the way I feel. Like I say, I'm just a minnow now, which only lasts a year and doesn't seem to be held against me. There're a bunch of us in the same boat, which is already making for a fine flock of new friends from a dozen different states. This business of learning to swim in a big pond full of so many currents and cross-currents is being made a lot easier by ihe folks on the orientation committee. Even I, Joe Schmoe from . Lillledale. feel like I know generally what it's all about with classes, the student Chollie's Follies- 'i Orientation To Dogs By Charlie Gibson question currently is whe ther all this pamphlet says will be ironically disproved by the administration's ex pecting the Student Legi slature to pay for publish ing this expensive booklet that South Building alone authorized in the first place. The summer brought many things to many people new , paint to . the Old Well, fifteen : pounds to Banks . Talley, knot- ted pine walls to Harry's, two more filling stations to Franklin Street, and (best of all) Barbara Best to Coy Carson. . .Ever seen so many old coins turn up from a past year's graduating coed crop? Seen around are Feme Hughes Wilborne, Pris Moore, Sue Stokes, "Butch" Daniels, and Bonnie Thrash Purcell. And it speaks well for Hillife when such a Pennsylvanian as Sally Woodhull and an old Floridian like Peppy Lucas cannot be happy working any further away than the Raleigh Times and Durham's Watts Hospital, respectively. While the campus fills up with new faces in most places, there is one spot where window shades are strangely lowered at half mast, where all is quiet and In The Swim By Harry Snook control, fraternities, sports, and all the rest. As a mai ler of fact that I don't mind admitting. I've had no trou ble finding my own dorm since the second day here. Seems to me that the way things are done is mighty im portant. Tlje upperclassmen and the . faculty seem to say, "Well, Joe Schmoe, you're a man now. Let's see what you can do." Me, I like that kind of puts me on my own. Everyone offers help, though; the upperclassmen and even the professors act like they remember they were freshmen once. Yep, I like, the way things are done. Scares me some," too; this is a big place with plenty of big ideas and it'll take a little time before I can begin swim ming by myself. I like the way the buildings are, put together and how the grounds are laid out and all the hundred and one extras that are here for the use of anyone interested enough tf make an effort. Some of the buildings are old and some ?.ie new, but they're all beautiful. And the green campus makes you think of growing things. Progress, that's the word. And I'm part of it. It's' like another world altogether at The Hill. I find still waiting. Take a look at the home provided for the President of the Great er University, and where has there ever before been such a symbol of a real vacancy now that Frank P. Graham has gone lo Washington? .One .man's prediction as to who might soon be called from the Capitol to try Ihe difficult job of moving in to occupy that prestiege-h a unied house is Gordon Gray, the Tar Heel statesman who is at present Secretary of the Army. The Army itself may have to be called out November 12 from the sound of all the gala plans being Sperheaded for beseig ing New York City for the Notre Dame game. Why not just have the Carolina invasion forces assemble around Grant's Tomb and ignite a first-rate pep rally there by singing "Dixie"? Campus voters, though, may expect a brighter future if the promise Charlie Long makes to everyone to whom he shows off a new Scottie puppy is act ually fulfilled. Good old rested up Charlie swears, "This year I shall do my bitching in puppies and not politics." myself really believing Joe Schmoe has a job io do. which, not so incidentally here, amounts io more than just listening in class and studying assignments. Why, I've even got ihe right to help decide the rules and regulations. I'm a citizen, that's it; all I have to do is just shoulder my share of ihe load, and I'm willingl This honor system is some thing again. I had never heard of a school where the students actually control themselves, until I got here and the orienta tion committee began zeroing me in on the facts of Univer sity life. Of course, there're a lot of things I have to decide, such as whether 1 want to join a frater nity and which one, whether I want to do some debating or write for the papor or go out ' for a team, or whether I'll find some co-ed who'll put up with me. But Tm looking forward to finding the answers. Know something? I guess I've hit on the big thing right there looking forward to finding the answers. I'm kind of curious to find out what kind of guy I can make out of Joe Schmoe. Not guy gentleman. Summer While You Were Away. . . By Wink So much of importance and general interest took place - in Chapel Hill during June, July, and August that it seems worth while to review some of the more notable events for the in coming freshmen as well as the students and faculty members who may have spent the sum mer outside North Carolina. The second annual Carolina Folk Festival was held June 9, 10, and 11, the first weekend of classes for the summer session (registration: 4,313 - 949 coeds.) Winner of the square dancing contest was The Greenwood' Dance Team composed of Uni versity students from Western North Carolina. Under the di rection of Arnold Wilson,, they displayed an almost unlimited amount of vigor, style and agil ity, and they could further claim the title of the most uninhibited group of people in Chapel Hill this summer. Attendance at the More head Planetarium passed the 50,000 (paid admissions) mark, and a show called "Invasion from Mars" (feat uring some of the famous Orson Welles broadcast) drew turn-away crowds for several weeks. On August 21, Dr. Marshall celebrated . his 42nd birthday and thai . dale also marked ihe 17th anniversary of his first planelarum demonstration. The first issue of the ad less, Lll Abnerless summer Tar Heel appeared June 16. The Tar Heel, most issues, was a one page job without columnists, letters or the usual editorial 'features. Chuck Hauser was editor. Our athletics were on the move in June, also. Victor Seixas and Clark Taylor went out to Austin, Texas, to enter the NCAA championships, but Tay lor was forced to retire from play due to illness, and Seixas was"clefeated in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3. The golf team took part in two tournaments during that month, and two members of the University's undefeated Southern Conference track team, Sam Magill and. Bob Kirk,, rep resented Carolina in the NCAA championships in Los Angeles. Later on Bill Albans flew " to Europe with a picked team of athletes from this country to tour several Scandivanian' coun tries and to compete in a series of international track meets. And one of the best bits of sports news was Norm Sper's wholly unexpected victory in the National AAU 10 meter (high board) diving competition at Los Angeles. Dr. William F. Prouty, head of the Geology Department, died June 27, and the funeral services were attended by a number of his former students-and faculty. The first Watermelon Fes tival ever held here was quiet a success July 9th . under ihe Davie . Poplar. Peggie Leigh Sapp, Raleigh, . was crowned Queen and , Dean Mackie was crowned King of ihe Festival .by Chancellor House. ACROSS L. Parsonage 6. Snow runner 9. Grown boy 12. Puff up 13. Fox 14.

Hans did not get that fellowship from ihe Atomic Energy Commission. He was with us all summer and you could see him every afternoon riding his bicycle down io the Post Office for the 4 o'clock mail. Hans had a lenglhy. meaningless gei io with ihe Durham Sun for a week or so. but other than thai he was quite quiet. Barry Lynn, a male dancer and former student, gave an esthetic tour-de-force in Memo rial Hall July 1st, the program consisting of eight . numbers which he said were "a combina tion of sculptured lines and small subtle movements." At the conclusion of one of the dances, Mr. Lynn asked a dog to leave the hall, an incident which had grave repercussions - in Chapel Hill Dogdom. Mr. Lynn is now . teaching and performing in Salt Lake City. Betty Smith had a piece , in Life magazine about the trials, tribulations . and : rewards of. being a best-seller . author,. . and ; Time featured an article on Dr.: Archibald Henderson. The Chan cellor's daughter, Caroline, was married at high noon, June 18, in the Methodist Church. And the ,1949 May Queen, Feme Hughes, was married to Pretlow Winbourne III in June. , During the0early hours of k a hot August morning, a .. thief moved carefully and cautiously through Manley and Grrimes Dormitories and when . the boys got up that morning 21 of them were missing a total of $375. -The intruder was not caught. The Playmakers were forced io cancel one performance : of iheir "Androcles and ihe Lion" on account of rain and it rained for a few min utes during the final per- formance in the outdoor Koch Memorial Theatre. Bui it was still a colorful, ' entertaining interpretation of the Shaw comedy. The group also offered a group of experimentals ' (one delt rather weakly with ihe Epps Case) and they closed iheir season with an exciting pro duction of Emlyn Williams' "Night Must Fall." Representatives from almost any field of entertainment you could mention were in Chapel Hill during July for the 47th annual convention of the Inter national Platform Association. There were three shows a day, including performances by a group . of Metropolitan Opera Stars, the famous co'mic-pianist, Henry Scott, and many others. A new rule requiring pro spective faculty members to state whether they are or ever have been members of the Com munist Party or any organiza tion controlled by the Com munist Party was made known August 8 by ; Acting .
