UNIVERSITY INVITED TO SEND DELEGATES 'T CONFERENCE AT DES MONIES Declaring that the responsibility for the solution of the problems arisen in the world rests upon the shoulders of students in the colleges of America, J. - R. Wilson, traveling secretary of the North America Students Volunteer Con ference movement, presented plans adopted for the eighth international con vention of students at Dea Moines, Iowa, the latter part of December, 1919, to the ministers of the town and the Y. M. C. A. cabinet, meeting together Wed nesday afternoon in the cabinet room, at 3 :00 f 'clock, and following a dis cussion 0$ the proposition,-'a motion was made anjl carried to adopt the propo sition pgsented and register with the student movement headquarters a quota of 15delegates to be selected from the student body as representatives of the University of North Carolina to the Des Moines conference. In presenting the prospects of the con vention of students, Mr. Wilson stated that with an attendance of approxi mately 10,000 delegates selected from colleges in all parts of the country and with the best the world can afford, the conference is expected to be the great est gathering of studnts intent on the advancement of Christian principles on record. Indicative of the " care with which the programs of the past con ferences have been worked out, Mr. Wil son referred to the address delivered by Donald ; Frazer, a notable figure in South Africa work, to the conference held at Nashville, Tenn., in which the thought and observations of years of personal experience in work in the field were condensed and recounted verbally to the assembled delegates in a space of twenty minutes. In addition to field work ami inter nal work 011 the campus, it was stated by Mr. Wilson, that problems having direct and significant bearing on mat ters of world import politically and so cially, will be given thorough discus sion by men who have made these' prob lems and their solution a constant study. A communication from Lord Robert (Veil, read to the assembled! body, showed the attitude of the gret Brit isher toward the influence of the work v of such institutions as the eonference of students, and other allied organiza- (Continued on page fiyje) DR. HARRY WOODBURN PRESIDENT OF University Formally Opened on Thursday With President Chase presiding and the entire student body in attendance at Memorial Hall, the university was officially open for the ensuing year last Thursday. Dry Moss, without whom no Carolina meeting would be a real Caro lina meeting, opened the exercises with prayer. Major Boyett, following the in vocation, presented the plan of the R. O. T. C, and urged that as many as possible and especially the freshmen and Sophomores take the course. Dr. Chase, following Major Boyett, extended a hearty welcome on the part of the university to all of its students. In the course of his address,' he set the tas!"s which Carolina men must accom plish this year if they would make a successful year bf it and keep contin ually Carolina's light bright. Taking as his theme of discussion the possibilities and fields of service that await Carolina Men, Frank Graham, Dean of Students, closed the program. Mr. Graham brought out clearly the need caused by the recent war for men with trained minds and teachers in regu lation and direction of the future poli cies of the world. As the Tar Heel went to press Thurs day evening, Registrar Thos. J. Wilson, announced that the enrollment had reached a total of 1,280. This is an approximate two hundred larger than any previous enrollment. The final total will probably be well over 1,300.. Howe New Dean of the College of Liberal Arts To fill the vacancy in the Dcauship of the College of Liberal Arts, caused by the election of Dr. Chase to the Presi dency, the trustees elected Dr. Howe, since 1903 head of the Latin Depart ment at Carolina. Dean Howe brings to his position a wide experience filled Avith high attain ments of scholarship. Much of his edu cational training was received at the higher universities of Europe, among them being the University of Holle, Ox ford University, and American School of Classical Studies at Rome. Dr. Howe, through his long connecc tion with the University, has acquired iutimate knowledge of the nedes of stu dents and those who wish enlightenment concerning questions of educational poli cy and practice which concern the Col lege of Liberal Arts, will find him ready to give them the benefit of his long experience. J) CHASE, NEWLY-ELECTED THE UNIVERSITY GERARD HALL PACKED FOR 1919 COLIEGE NIGHT k FACULTY AND STUDENT SPEAK ERS PRESENT PHASES OF CAMPUS LIFE Officially ushering in the year of 1919-20, College Night, held last Thurs day night under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. was declared the most suc cessful ever held. Gerrard Hall was j filled with a capacity students and even before the speakers took the platform, much ' ' pep " was inducted into the crowd then the efforts of that energetic rubber ball, ' ' Lerubby ' Rives. The entrance of the female portion of the student body was the signal for another outburst of enthusiasm from the gallant lads. Albert Coates, acting as presiding of fuer, and thereby enjoying his task, caused more than one modest blush on the face of each speaker and not a little merriment in the audience by his mental gynmasties, at which he proved himself quite an athlete. President Chase led off with the re mark that it took a brave man to speak to the same audience on the same sub ject three times on the same day. The president did not seem lacking in cour age, however. The university was de scribed by the president as a commu nity and each speaker, he said, repre sented some. phase of the university life. A man became a Carolina Man, Dr. Chase said, when lie relates himself to his university thru his community life. Dr. Moss, known eventually and ef-fe:-tionatoly to all Carolina, welcomed the new men in behalf of the commu nity. 1 The biggest thing in any com munr J, Dr. Moss said, is its religion. "Gi2 the people of Chapel Hill a chance to learn who you are. Meet us half way and lets get acquainted." "Shorty" Spruill, described by Al bert Coates, as founded ' ' bed rock, ' ' spoke on ' studies. ' ' " After all, said ' ' Shorty, ' ' that 's the main thing we came to college for. "Billy" Garmiehael, apologizing as a substitute, proved that he needed no apologies. Billy's, topic was athletics, and he urged a greater interest among the students, although not at the ex pense of studies. Thomas Wolfe, editor of the Tar Heel, next unfolded himself in sections and discoursed with much freedom on the topic of college publications, a phase of our community life, he said, ."than which there was none than Wheeler." Daniel L. , Grant, dealing with the college organizations, one hundred and twenty-five strong, emphasized the need (Continued on page six) Athletic Outlook Good; Plenty of Good Material With the largest freshman class in the history of the University already icgiscrtd and Coach Bond present on the hill ready to begin rounding the first year football team into shape, there is every indication that new lustre will be added this year to Carolina's athletic records, and that the class of 1923 will make the best showing ever made by any new class of this institution. Many new men are here who have already made enviable records for themselves on the gridiron elsewhere, and judging by the looks of many of the men in the new class, Coach Bond will probably demonstrate that a record can be made by those who are just taking up the game this year. The freshman schedule includes games with the University of Virginia freshmen at Charlottesville, Va., Bing ham School, University of Georgia fresh men, University of South Carolina freshmen, Davidson scrubs, Oak Ridge, with many other pending. It is hoped that every first year man interested in athletics will go out and try for his team. The schedule includes many attractive trips. Don't stand back just because you happen not to know the game. The coaches are out there to teach you the game, and they want you out there. Their ability to put out a winning team will depend largely on the number of men from which they: have to select. , s Varsity basketball having been made a major sport, much interest is already being manifested in our next season's team. Rumors have it that we will hafe the best combination ever put out $y 'he University. In addition to Capt. Carniichael, Liipert and Morris (all let er men of last year's aggregation), Shepard, the star forward on the famous 1916-17 team which defeated Virginia for the first time in nine years, und Little, a s?rub on the same team, ? are back from France to add their weight t ) the squad this season. Initiations Forty-seven men, the largest number in the history of the University, were initiated into fraternities at the regu lar initiations on Monday night. Most of the chapters have been favored by applications from other chapters, so that the fraternities in general are in good shape for the year. ; y There were many visitors on "the Hill" for the occasion, both ! old men from the Carolina chapters ; and men from chapters in other schools. The men initiated into the various chapters were as follows: Kappa Alpha ..Euclid McWhorter, Chapel Hill. Zeta Psi Erie Norlleet, Roxobel; Jack McDowell, Scotland Neck; Frank P.

Five members of the great '16 eleven were in Caro lina 's line-up. The Tar Heel aggrega tion outweighed twenty pounds to the man, was rushed off its feet the first half by the fierce plunging of the Rut gers team. All of Rutgers scoring was dpne in the first half. ; In the first quarter Carolina fumbled on her twenty yard line, held for downs, but punted out short. Rutgers scored a touch down a few minutes later after two short runs. In the second quarter Rutgers began a steady advance down jfche field which the liar Heels were un able to stop. French, Rutgers' sensa tional halfback, broke away near the end of the half and ran fifty yards for .", touchdown. Carolina returned to the game the second half with renewed confidence and held Rutgers scoreless. The punt' ing of Coleman was far superior to his opponent 's, being described by the news dispatches as "superb." The New York Sun in its write-up of the game refers to the Carolina eleven as the most powerful produced here in several years. Great confidence is entertained by the team regarding the game with Yale this" week. A smaller score is the popular verdict. The team, profiting from the valuable expe-ience of the Rutgers' game, is de veloping rapidly. Following is the line-up of the Rut ''e"fi game: Narth Carolina 0 Rutgers 19 Gant R. T Troup Cochran R.
