FOREWORD
With this issue we begin our mis
sion as the news medium of the
University community. We shall
strive zealously to serve you ade
quately in this capacity. The Tar
Heel will be issued every Wednesday
and Saturday of the college year
with the exception of the examina
tion periods. 'It will continue a five
column paper, and will begin with
four pages.
Furthermore, we hope to reflect
and create campus sentiment as well
as furnish news. To do this the
editorial columns of the paper are
open for your use. And we invite
expressions from students nnd fac
ulty on anything current of common
interest. The Tar Heel is not apart
from and over against University
life, but right in our life striving
for a bigger and better Carolna. We
consider everyone here 'a member of
the editorial board.
THE 1920-1921 TAR HEEL
This year The Tar Heel will be a
semi-weekly, four page, five column
paper. This will give two more
pages per week than heretofore; and
by coming out more frequently will
enable us to improve its quality as
a news medium.
The men on the editorial and
managerial board of The Tar Heel
have accepted from the Athletic
Association the responsibility of
producing1 ' a newspaper, comparable
to "the other qualities of Carolina.
A good charge.- But we are going
to do it. If we fail te us and
we will' make amends, or else make
room for others who will do so. For
the student body is entitled to a
news medium of the first quality.
This is a very definite undertak
ing. It entails not only extra effort
by the board, but additional expense.
According to alli indications more
college publications "went under"
during the past year than in any
other one year.- This year the
financial situation is even more diffi
cult. And even in the face of "this
we have attempted more because of
our determination to produce an
A-l paper; and then (when we have
done this, or demonstrated that we
are going to do it) because of our
faith in the student body's support.
Our faith in the future we rest on
our own determination to merit
support.
We want every man in college as
a subscriber! That's an oft re
peated slogan. But we must have
it, or its very near approach. One
paper in a room, when a whole squad
live in the same room, is not enough.
The number of rooms has scarcely
increased over last year, and cult
number of subscribers must be dou
bled, or we sink.
Follow us sympathetically as we
begin. And support us enthusiasti
cally when we have proven ourselves!
THAT 12:40 PERIOD
Why Is it that so many of the
most choice senior courses; in the
College of Liberal Arts -are placed
at the 12:40 hour? Not only is
this true for the current quarter,
but has been generally true for this
college generation.
The requirements placed on Lib
eral Arts men, we think, is very
liberal. But the senior frequently
finds that he has little opportunity
of getting the courses he really
wishes because they are largely
stacked in the same hour. The
number of men offering courses that
are calculated to appeal to the
senior is, after all, not so very large.
The average senior decides that he
wants work under about four men
that especially appeal to him; and
frequently is unable to get work
under from two or three of them
on account of conflicts. Ordinarily
a man knows what he wants, and
the man under whom he wishes to
be. This is the natural fruition of
the elective scheme. Of course, he
may be able to get such courses as
will fill the requirements, and enable
him to graduate. But this is not
sufficient. A compromise is hardly
a satisfactory agreement. Why then,
if it is possible to avoid it, curtail
a man's senior year?
It may be that there is some
reason for this which is unknown
to us; or it may be we have placed
the wrong estimate upon faculty
members. We believe not.
LEADS IN THE NATION
Carolina's most outstanding record
of success in inter-collegiate contests
is perhaps in oratory and debate,
having won about seventy per cent
of all contests engaged in. This is
a good record. The most favorable
we believe . that the University has
made in contests of any sort. Last
year was one of success. In addi
tion to taking second place in both
the Peace and Southern Oratorical
Contests, and winning both the
Johns Hopkins and Washington and
Lee Debates, news has just reached
us that Carolina has won first place
in the National Peace Orators' Con
test in which there were approxi
mately one hundred entrants repre
senting every state in the Union.
This is the record of D. Reid Hodgin
who won second place in the North
Carolina Peace Oratorical Contest in
High Point last May. The winners
in the several state contests were
permitted to submit their orations
to a single board in competition for
a national prize. This is the place
that Hodgin has won.
This is a great personal achieve
ment and a land mark in Carolina's
forensic history. We congratulate
the winner. All Carolina is happy
with you. May this be only an
indicator of your future for self and
the University!

REIGN COLLEGE NIGHT
FOR THE NEW MEN
(Continued from page one)
worm. He did not discount the value
of work on the various studer.i,
activities of the campus, but he
warned them not to become so much
enmeshed in this kind of work that
they would have to sacrifice their
academic work.
Bailey Liipfert captured the au
dience with his "athletic oration" on
"Athletics." He told the new men
to "go to their rooms and decide
upon some form of sport and then
to go out tomorrow and stay out."
He explained that every man in the
house could win an N. C. if not
on the athletic field so that he could
wear one on his sweater, he could
win one in his heart through, the
satisfaction of knowing that he had
done his level best to get one on
the field. He is a letter man for
three yeras in basketball, and rep
resents the best in Carolina athletics,
and he easily transmitted his "pep"
to the new men.
"College Honor" was the subject
of the talk by W. R. Berryhill,
President of the Student Council.
He welcomed the class of 1924 to
the HilL and in 'well chosen words
told them of the honor spirit here,
explaining that Carolina had no rules
whatsoever for th econduct of its
student body, but that the standard
of the gentleman was the sole rule
of conduct. He told them of the
function of the Student Council, how
it was elected and of whom com
posed, and said that each year the
need for it was becoming less and
less, since the campus was becom
ing more and more a self-governing
body m every particular. He ex
pressed the confidence that this year
would be a most successful one.
Chairman Grant ten introduced
Mr. Frank Graham as "a man in
whom it was very difficult to draw
the dividing line between faculty and
student, since he was a student only
a few years ago, and although now
a faculty member, he is thoroughly
sympathetic, with the student and
understands the latter's viewpoint on
campus matters. Mr. Graham spoke
on "Student Relations" and told of
the different student activities and
the value of the different student
activities and the value of each to
the individual. He told the freshmen
of the great and illustrious line of
Carolina men ahead of them, and
enjoined them to keep up the record
and carry it even farther than it
has been carried thus far.
After the exercises in Gerrard
Hall, an informal reception to the
new men was held in the Y. M. C. A.
building. Cream and wafers were
served, and the John Morris orches
tra was on hand with several num
bers, so that the atmosphere was
quite "jazzinous." Dr. and Mrs.
Chase, Coach Fuller and Assistant
Coach Hite, Van Noppen, Berryhill,
and quite a number of the old men
were in the receiving line to wel
come the new men.
Now's the accepted time. See
Hettleman, Nash or Warren and tell
them that you want The Tar Heel.
There's no need of waiting. "Pro
crastination is the thief of time."
CAPT. BOYE EXPECTS
LARGE ENROLLMENT
IN MILITARY CORPS
SOPHOMORES WILL HAVE LESS
DRILLS AND MORE THEORY
THAN IN THE PAST
The R. O. T. C. will commence
its functions this year with all signs
pointing to an even more successful
session than that of the past year.'
Sixty students ' are continuing the
work from last year and a very large
freshman enrollment is confidently
expected. Of the sixty old men,
twelve are taking the advanced
course, while forty-eight are in the
primary work;
The program for the sophomore
group will be somewhat different
from the program followed last year,
more time being given over to theo
retical work than practical drills. A
new room has been acquired in New
West by the R. O. T. C. and will
be used for map problems and war
games. A new gallery range will
soon be completed for rifle prac
tice. Sophomore work will be propor
tioned as follows: Military sketching
and map reading, 40 per cent;
infantry drill, 15 per cent; infantry
weapons, including rifles, automatic
rifles and machine guns, 20 per cent;
minor tactics, 20 per cent, physical
exercise, 5 per cent. One hour a
week will be devoted to practical
work while two will be given to
theoretical study in small groups.
Many inducements are offered to
the new man. on the "Hill" by the
R. O. T. C. A complete uniform,
including shirts and shoes, is issued
to each cadet and becomes his per
sonal property after a year of ser
vice in the corps. Free summer
outings are offered each year to the
men. After two year's membership
in the R. O. T.t C. becomes optional
and those who are recommended for
the advanced work receive what
amounts to $382.00 for their last
two years. Much depends this year
on the freshmen who join the R. O.
T. C., according , to Captain Boye,
the commandant at Carolina.
Professor S. E. Leavitt, of the
Romance Languages Department,
who has been on leave during the
past year and studying in South
America, has just returned to the
Hill. On his return trip from South
America he came by England, pass
ing through London only a few days
since.
