HOGTJE President Addresses Students on the Aims of College t Education Although the requirements for en-: trance into the academic branches r at the University have been raised twetv ty per cent., the freshman class is ful- ly as large as it was last year. The class would indeed have been a record breaker but for the failures to meet; the new requirements. With a rej,h: tration of 740 to date, there is every indication that the University equip-1 Rev.

The,, exercises were o'oned with prayer by Mr. E. P. Hall, th$ popular new secretary of the Asso ciation. After, a few words of wel cucae by the president, Mr. E. W. Tur lington, addresses were delivered by Win- as was the case last year. A Senior class of 105 members outnumbers any Senior class in the history of the, in stitution. It is believed that at leabt 100 men will receive their diplomas here next commencement. President Venable formally opened the doors of the University in an, ad dress to the students in, Memorial Hall Thursday of last week. ' i He said in part: "You come to the University seek- insr an education. It is important thatJ Training For Success. Mr. Hogue impressed the fact that whjle in college one should get the training which will be of most value in life. The strife and temptations of later life are largely shut out from the peaceful college community. Is there not) danger that in this calm period of man's life, the intellectual doubt of theiclass room may supplant that faith which enables a man to meet success fully the struggles and temptations of life? Many college students make the -take of striving for the superficial you should have definite aims a s- den ts.''.' Many come blindly, not knov", ,:i;t rtt. . , , , , r 1 i things.

Mr. Luke Lamb was unani mously elected president, and Mr. Mar shall Wyatt was made secretary and treasurer, also without opposition. Students who wish to join the Asso ciation are requested to see one of the following: Messrs. J. W. Lasley, Fields Eulace, or "Bill" Ellis. Fee, $1.50. The grounds are to be cleaned off im mediately to make room for the grow ing number of men who are becoming interested in tennis. Regulations governing the Associa tion are as follows : 1. No player or set of players will be allowed the use of a court during an entire afternoon. 2. At 4 o'clock each evening the col lege bell will tap twice as a signal for all play to cease upon all the courts. All waiting players will then replace those in possession of the courts. 3. If no one claims a court for ten minutes after the ringing of the bell, those in possession may resume play. 4. No one is allowed to get the court in the first part of the evening and pledge it for the second part. 5. In the case of tournaments the foregoing regulatipas do not apply, i they will strive. These things are good, but theyxannot be bought at the expense of the better qualities. The little things are often the more important ones and the things we place firsthould often come last. Con secration to the daily tasks and duties is the best preparation for success and for life. Important "Dont's."

This movement, which has the best nen in college behind it, seems to be the result of a growing feeling of resentment against hazing. It is believed that in the jface of this opposition freshmen will not again be molested. Every man of the sophmore class has pledged him self not only not to haze, but to report any such offence known to him. The following is the pledge which the stu dents are signing: r Whereas, hazing is chactenstic of small colleges and Preparatory Schools and is regarded as puerile and out of place in a University Community, Therefore, we, the undesigned, pledge ourselves to exert every effort to suppress all forms of hazing in which force or intimidation is used. And to that end further pledge our selves to use all reasonadle means to detect and prosecute openly, all of fenders, i I The first issue of the Tar Heei. should have , appeared Wednesday morning, but was prevented from do ipff so by a lack of typesetters NEW MEN INTRODUCED COLLEGE LIFE AND CUSTOMS TO Speeches On the "Phases" Heard By Large Crowd. Recep tion Afterwards College night, from a student stand-" point has come to be one of the most importa-it students gatherings of the year. To say that the meeting Thurs day night was a success is putting it mildly. The night was fine, the crowd good, and the speeches were excellent. College "atmosphere" pervaded the meeting and the yells and songs were given with ringing enthusiasm. The meeting was in charge of D. B. Bryan, vice-president of the Y. M. C. A. His opening words were words of welcome to the new men. "You are now being- initiated into our col lege life," said the speaker, "and are now University men. The Y. M. C. A. presents to you the phases of Uni versity life, and asks you to encourage and support these phases as true Uni vesity men should. The Honor Sys tem stands foremost in our student life, and will be discussed tonight by one of its staunchest supporters, Mr. W. A. Dees." The Honor System. able's talk on the Honor System, spoke of its introduction at the University " and of the success with which it has worked here. It is not a system of spies, proctors, and police, but a sys tem which presumes that every student is a gentleman. The only standard is a man's honor. It is a democracy re duced to the individual. It recogonizes that certain things are dishonorable, such as gambling, cheating, and dis respectable conduct, and places a ban on these things. Students can sup port it, first, by acting honorably, and second, by reporting all dishonorable conduct'. Its success depends upon the support of the individual, and let every man in the University stand firmly be hind it. Mr, C. E. Mcintosh was next intro duced by the chairman, and his subject as announced was College Athletics. In part Mr. Mcintosh said: The University is the natural leader among North Carolina colleges. Though not a member of the S. I. A. A., we have standards in athletics that rival all colleges and surpass many. The large numbers here make it possi ble for the University to inaugurate reformations in college athletics. Some years ago a departure from the usual practices was made by the University, and professional athletes were debar red from the teams. It is the plan here to have sport for sport's sake. Every man in the University is en couraged to take an active part in some of the many phases of college athletics. If you are a big strong man, try foot ball, and if you are not inclined to football, try track work. Tennis, base ball, and the gynasium offer good op portunities for development of the physical man. The elegibility of players and fair playing come under the Honor System, all breaches of con duct in this line should be promptly (Continued on fourth page,) ' 7 V. i'Vr r ; r " t . .
