TM all Jiy J. L-o Vol.16. UNIVERSITY OF KORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N, C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1907. No. 4. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. ANTI-HAZING CONFERENCE SUBMITS PLEDGE TO CLASSES AND FRATERNITIES. Juniors and Seniors Adopt It, but Sophomores and Frater nities Refuse. Acting- under instructions from the Senior class, President O. R. Rand called together a conference composed of five Seniors, three Jun iors, two Sophomores, one repre sentative from the Y. M. C. A., and one from each of the eleven fra ternities to consider ways and means whereby hazing might be entirely abolished. The conference met Saturday af ternoon, and after discussing- the matter frankly, it was decided to have Mr; Rand appoint a committee to draw up a pledge or resolution to be submitted to the classes and fraternities. This committee, which was composed of Messrs. M. Rob ins, J. H. Manning, Stanley Win borne, and W. P. Stacy, reported as follows: "We hereby recommend to the various organizations and classes in college that they prom ise individually and collectively not to engage in any hazingi" ,Then followed a definition which induced the objectionable forms of hazing, : At a second conference held' in the Y. M. C. A. building Monday night it was reported that the Sen ior and Junior classes had adopted the pledge by a practically unani mous vote, and that the Sopho mores and all of the fraternities had refused to adopt it. The fraterni ties' representatives urged in sup port of their refusal that, although a majority of the fraternity men were willing to sign the pledge in dividually, they were not willing to place their lraternities on record, as bodies, as promising not to in dulge in any hazing. They feared that if one man were to break the pledge, the whole fraternity of which he was a member would re ceive a black eye. In other words, the fraternities, as bodies, refused to lend their support to the anti-hazing movement. At this point the conference prac tically broke up, though it was de cided after some discussion that the fraternities be polled and that the men' who refused to sign be report ed at a third meeting of the confer ence to be held Friday night. The personnel of the conference was: Seniors, M. Robins, P. M. Williams, E, C. Ruffin, W. P. Stacy, H. B. Gunter; Juniors, F. P. Graham, Duncan McRae, O. J. Coffin; Sophomores, H. J. Johnson, J. A. Highsmith; Y. M. C. A., J. A. Fore, Jr.; Sigma Nu Frater nity, T. F. Wood; Beta Theta Phi. N. V. Stockton; Kappa Sigma, R. H, Chatham; Pi Kappa Alpha, Stanley Winborne; Alpha Tau Omega, Don Ray; SSeta Psi, J. H. Manning; Sigma Alpha Epsilon, C. W. Tillett, Jr.; Phi Delta The ta, C W. Howard; Delta Kappa Epsilon, T. M. Hines; Kappa Al pha, W. P. Jacocks; Phi Chi, J. A. Strickland, OFFICIAL SCORE WAS 0 TOO BUT THE OFFICIALS KNEW NOT THEIR BUSINESS. Carolina Clearly Had the Best of the Washington and Lee Game. Carolina has had another set back, but of a different kind. About two thousand spectators saw our foot-ball eleven out-play .Wash ington and Lee's aggregation in Newport News last Saturday. The The official score was 0 to 0, and so the newspapers recorded it. But the real score was far different, and the big end came to us, Caro lina made one touchdown and wotjld easily have made another if the of ficials had known their business. In the first half, Washington and Lee kicked off to Carolina. After a few minutes Carolina carried the ball into Washington and Lee's territory and there it stayed for the rest of the half. Several times Washington and Lee's goal was in danger but Carolina was unable STAR COURSE LECTURES SIX TO BE PRESENTED THIS YEAR An Excellent Program Champ Clark to Appear Saturday, October 19.

Champ Clarke has the reputation of being one of the most eloquent speakers and logical de baxers in Congress, and he, being to take it over. One drop-kick warom Missouri; will certainly have tried but it failed and Washing! no objection to "sho and Lee punted the ball to the m die of the field. Half ended with no scoring. , In the second half,' Thomas kick ed off to Washington and Lee on their twenty yard line and Caro lina settled down to business. Within five minutes Carolina had the ball on Washington and Lee's thirty-yard line, After a few pre liminary rushes, Mann made a beau tiful forward pass to Davis, who carried the ball over and planted it betweer the goal posts for a touchdown. But now the officials took a hand and cancelled the touch down: They claimed that the quarterback had not gone five yards to the side, and although Mann had (Con tinned on page 4.) )wing us" that the reputation does not belie (he man. His coming will be awaited with a deal of pleasurable anticipa tion. , The Schubert String Quartette needs no introduction to a Chapel Hill audience. The company has appeared here each season for sev eral years, and never has it failed J 1 1 ff 4 1 1 1 J t to aengnt tne nearts or our music lovers.

The Arrangement Is Well-Nigh Per fectGreat Credit Is Due Dr. Wilson. The new library has at last been opened, and the throngs of students that have crowded around the li brarian's desk and filled the reading rooms give eloquent testimony to the fact that a long-felt need has been supplied. "Comparisons are odious," saith the poet, but the contrast between the old and the new is so great that we can but pause for a moment and think, with a deal of self-pity, of the time when 'we were cooped up in our former two-by-four building. The new one, is a handsome structure, the room is plentiful and the arrangement is excellent. The lobby downstairs is spacious and well lighted,, the i light ? coming from the sky-light through a great round opening in the second floor,; At the back of the lobby, and ; straight in front of the . main en trance is the delivery : desk. On the left of the delivery desk is the case for debate references, on the right is the library catalogue,.; and at the back is the entrance to the stack room. This room, which extends through the second floor, has accommodating capacity for 110,000 books. To the left of the main entrance arethegentlemen's hat room ;the per iodical room, with two paper files, six tables, and a periodical file with seven sections; and a room in which are filed Congressional records and documents, newspapers, and magazines. To the right of the main entrance are the ladies' cloak room; the ref erence room, with a large case for reference books, and eight tables. Back of the reference room are the offices of Dr. L. R. Wilson, librar ian, and Miss Strudwick, assistant librarian. On the second floor are two rooms which correspond to the hat and cloak rooms below. To the left area faculty reading room, two seminar rooms, and a room in which is placed the library of the ISlisha Mitchell Scientific Society. To the right are two reading rooms, a room for statuary and pictures, and a room in which is placed the col- ection of North Caroliniana. The building is furnished throughout with Library Bureau urniture, made of beautiful stained oak, and the furnishings are entire-. y in keeping with the interior finish. On the whole, the arrangement' is well-nigh perfect for a college ibrary, and those who planned it are to be congratulated. Credit is also due Dr. Wilson, through whose efforts the building" was opened this early in the year.
