THE TAR h
Y. IL C A. MANAGES
LYCEUM ATTRACTION
World
Attractions Hare Been of the Highest Order.
Famous Quartettes to Be Here in
a Few Weeks
The Y. M. C. A. was indeed fortu
nate this year in having the Star
Course turned over to it by a commit
tee of the faculty, which has hereto
fore conducted the same. It has for
merly been the custom for a special
committee of the faculty to secure six
numbers for the Star Course, and the
two societies provided every member
desiring to attend, tickets to same
This had become rather burdensome
to the committee, and in view of the
fact that they only attempted to make
this course self-supporting-, it was de
cided to turn the management over to
the Y. M. C. A.
In arranging this course it was de
cided to secure attractions which were
primarily enjoyable. Since the Uni
versity was to have lectures delivered
free of charge during the year, no lec
tures were secured in the course.
The Ed win R. Weeks Company
started our course off, in a most accept
able manner being pronounced by
many as the most popular attraction
that has been here in recent years.
Nor did the Alkahest Ladies Quartette
which was the second number of ; the
course, detract from the very favorable
impression made by the first attraction.
On January 6th something a little dif
ferent frome the ordinary Lyceum At
traction constituted the third num
ber. Mr. Raveis, a cultured and well
educated New Zealander, with his
wife and daughter, in a sort of
Polynesian play, interestingly present

of the South Sea Islands as contrasted

Rev. Mr. Hogues Tribute
The Christian Religion occupies no
apologetic or subservient position at
the University of North Carolina. On
the other hand, it is free from those
compulsory features and that enforced
control which repel the average college
student. This is a quiet, unceasing
and pervading influence, yet with all
an accredited, a positive and a power
ful factor. That this is true is due in
lare-e measure to the Young- Men's
Christian Association.
The location of the association
building is unintentionally significant.
Standing at one end of the campus and
facing south one sees three buildings,
the Old South, which is a dormitory,
Gerrard Hall, which is the Chapel,
and in the center, a little back from
each, the Y M. C. A. Hall. It is
there as the symbol of a great fact,
that there is no chasm between college
life and the religious life. It stands
there as the links between the students
daily living and li is deeper spiritual
needs, as the pathway from his normal
activities to the source of his higher
manhood and nobler ideals, that he
. - .. . . . ...-
may take that mannood ana those
ideals back again through activities
into his own life and that of his fellow
students. Just as its briildinsr is' a
ittle removed, so its mission is not an
intrusion. Tts influence does not ob
trude, it emanates.
The Christian minister is under
especial obligations to the Young
Men's Christian Association. He is
ed to appreciate its services as soon as
his work begins, for it is through the
Association effort that the church
affiliation of the students is secured
and each minister presented with a list
of those of his church. It is by the
secertary of the Y. M. C. A that theJ
j clergy are myited to teach Bible and
Mission Study classes and to act as
Work for New Students
The Work for New Students Com
mittee' represents the Y. M. C. A. in
its first attempt to make friends with
all new comers to the University. Its
object is to be helpful to the men who
find themselves at "Carolina" tor tne,
first time. Its aim is to assist every
new man, in whatever way he can, to
adjust himself to his new environment
with the right perspective from the
start. v .
The first work of the committee is
to mail out in July to every prospective
student so far as the names can be
had from the Registrar's office a copy
of the Handbook published annually
by the Association. This little pub
lication contains just the information
most helpful to a new man. So help
ful has it proved that it is popularly
known as the "Freshman's Bible".

"Smokerine"
It was a unique and very enjoyable
progrom which was rendered at the
"Smokerine" in Gerrard Hall Thurs
day night. During an informal and
delightful meeting which the privilege
to smoke was generously extended.
P-of. George McKie entertained for a
half nour an audience of students with'
readings from the negro dialect poems'
of John Charles McNeill and from
John Tox's "Hell-for-Sartin." Many
expressions of pleasure were heard
from stueents who attended. . They
regretted that the readings did not last
longer, '-- ' ' '
counsellors and leaders in the varied
'fields of good work which the assocu
ation is authorized to undertake among
the students.
With classes six days out of seven,
with a majority of the students taking
more than the required number of
hours, with several courses compelling
an abnormal amount of reference
work, with the demands of literary
societies, athletics and other activities
of college life it is difficult for the
Christian Church to get even a foot
hold and well nigh impossible for it to
do its full duty. That it has gained a
stronghold and is doing an ever great
er work is largely due to its great ally
in the University, the Young Men's
Christian Association, with its con
secrated secretary, its capable and
representative student cabinet, its
strong, quiet, constant influence among
a student body whose honor system is
really honored, whose moral code is
unnsally high, whose spirit of self
help and democratic fairness is splen
did to witness and whose faculty are,
for the most part, men whose lives and
whose views of life stand for right
eousness and truth.

Rector, Chapel of the Cross.
Following the Handbook a personal
letter of welcome is written to each
prospective new comer, inviting him
to take an active interest in the work
of the Y. M. C. A., urging his attend
ance on College night and theopeniug
Reception, ami offering liim the ser
vices of the Association. This con
cludes the work of the committee until
the opening of the fall session.
In September since it is no longer
possible for the President tome. t each
freshman at the train several mem
bers of the committee meet each train
at University station during registra
tion days. These representatives of
the Association are present to cheer
disconsolate new comers and to direct
them to the Information Bureau. J
One branch of this bureau which
is composed of several students and not
made of mahogany is conducted in
the lobby of the Association building
and assists the new men, who have
not found a room, to get favorably lo
cated. The other division is conduct
ed in the alumni building and assists
the men in the bewildering operation
of registering. ,
In carrying on this work for new
students this session, more than two
dozen men including several sopho
mores had a part. Not every ne
student was reached, but we feel that
those most in need of advice or inform
ation were in some measure assisted.
