We are now needing men for the football teams. If you are physically able, go out and heln Bier Thompson put out a team that will be victorious. i ens tor . mgr I nompson were made but the chairman called J. A. Austin to the stand to speak on College Publications. In his impressive manner Mr. Aus tin brought forth a "freshman's bible" and declared it to be the best friend a new man had in college, . "The Tar Heel" was commended as that organ of the Athletic association which gives expression to the every day life of the college. All students, old as well u as new, were urged to support this pulse of the campus. The "Bulletin," "Y. M. C. A. Calender," "Directory," v "University Record,'' j and Yackety Yack" received a share of the atten tion of the speaker, and the nature and purpose of the various publications were explained. The speaker plead for a greater support of these deserv ing publications. ; T At the close of Mr. Austin's talk, the song- leader, Walter, Barbeo, called for "I'm a Tar Heel Born," and it was sung by the large choir with ringing emphasis. C.X.' Williams was introduced as a man of high literary society attain ments, and a promising candidate for inter-collegiate debating honors. Mr. Williams' speech was excellent to say the least. His well rounded sentences and occasional outbursts of eloquence were splendid examples of the great benefit of the literary societies. His speech on the subject, "Literary So cieties" appears on another page in this issue. The chairman announced that the concluding address of the meeting would be made by Mr. B. W. Turling ton who was introduced as a "scholar, debater, and President of the Y. M. C. A." Mr. Turlington's speech was filled with welcome to the new men and his appeal for support of the in stitution of which he is president brought a happy response in the minds of his hearers. His subject was The Y. M. C. A. ' .. A synopsis follows: The Young Men's Christian Association believes in the Honor System, in college publi cations, in athletics, in the literary so cieties, and supports all things that make for manhood and true fellowship. It believes in that fellowship which allows all classes and kinds of men to meet without distinction. The asso ciation here is doing a great work. It It furnishes B'ble Study courses,' Mis sion classes, and sends 8 young men throughout the country districts to teach Sunday schools, which, mission ary work,, according to Frank Gra ham's speech last - year, "diminishes the truth of the sayiny that the Uni- versity.is a ..mighty. light J' house that castsits 'clear light far across the bor ders of state and nation, while its base in darkness and ignorance, The yM; "C.A: last year took upon, itself 1 , ,fcUa''!'"X , 'vV , it 1 the responsibility of paying $500 an nually for the support of a missionary in China, and the Association sent as their missionary, Mr.' E. E. Barnett, who was at that time the Secretary here. Besides these large tasks, it aids the student by issuing the Hand book and Directory," and securing work for needy students. It also provides the star course entertainments. To men who have formerly been inclosed with in the influence of a home in which loe vwas the restraining power against all temptations, ana who are now where that influence is possibly J weak ened by the temptations of associates, the Y. M. C. A. offers ' an anchor o right. This is your formative period, and you should not neglect the religi ous side of life. The Y. C. A. has helped many and will help you. i . Mr. E. P. Hall, secretary of the or ganization here, was called to the plat form and asked to say; a few words. Mr. Hall came here at the beginning of the year to take the place of Mr. Barnett. He was formerly at the Uni versity of Georgia where he graduated this year, and at which place he was president of the college Y. M. C. A. His few words, which follow, won him many friends among the old as: well as new men. .;i 'r : 'r.'ul Mr. Hall speaks: "I am exceeding ly glad to be here.: We have debated Carolina and lmow something! tbc men she sends out. In coming to Chap el Hill as secretary, it is my purpose to be a friend, and to be of service to every man in the University. , To new men I wonld sav. eive us a chance of your friendship; and to all the old men I ask a renewal of friendship. I ask you all to join and support the Young Men's Christian Association." ? ' A hearty yell under the leadership of "Ichabod" was given Mr. Hall at the conclusion of his talk. Calls of Tommie" were then made but the big captain's modesty kept him silent. Amid yells and songs, the meeting ad journed and all repaired to the Y. M. C. A, building where a reception to the new men was in progress. The Reception. ' The large hall was crowded to its capacity to accomodate the large num ber who had responded to the invita tion of the Y. M. C. A. The building was tastefully decorated in college style, ferns, banners, and pennants be ing used. Many of the faculty as well as townspeople were present, and the new men were introduced. A refresh ment course of ices was served. The occasion was highly enjoyed by many and pronounced by some to be the most excellent reception yet given by the Y. M. C. A. 5-'Vv'':V:-:;--vH ' Big Enrollment (Continued from first page) A Good Position Can be had by ambitious young men and ladies in ; the : field of i" Wireless" or Railway Telegraphy.

They can aid you in the self mastery which you are here to acquire. "Mental training is not all that you should eret out of vour stay here. You are to build characters for yourselves In order to do this you must place your .selves on the side of right, higher liv ing, and truer manhood. Become member of the Young Mens' Christian Association, which stands for these things. v, ; Not only your minds and characters are to be developed, but your bodies, also, if you are to attain the greatest possible success. Do not think of the athletic work as a means of making team. Making the team is secondary. The main object is to train as many men as possible. "The government of the University is in the hands of the faculty. The laws of the state prevail here as else where, and every student is expected to behave. as a gentleman. The ideal of self-government is also found here. It should be remembered that underlying such government there must be a sense of personal responsibility. The Honor System, whtcli"was long ago adopted by the University, puts every man on his honor and does away with the sys tem of spying, both in class room and out. Y. M. C. A. Gives Welcome (Continued from first page) get into bad company,? were some of the warnings given to college men by Prof. Winston. These "don'ts," he said, sound trite because we have heard them so' often. But the simple earnestness and feeling with which the speaker presented his argument gave new meaning and power to those oft-heard words of advice. Dr. Mims on the Y. M. C. A. In the opening of his address Dr. Mims spoke of the great benefit which he had derived from the Association work while a high school and college student. The Y. M, C. A. is one of the great uplifting world movements. It stands fot righteousness and Chris tian service. You need the Associa tion, with its opportunities for work and service, in building for yourselves fine characters, You need to learn to work with men.
