The fac j ulty committee on athletics .has been widely criticized and certain news paper men on state dailies have been questioned as to their motives in de nouncing University athletes and re fraining from mention of athletes at other colleges who were known to have done the things with which the Carolina men were charged. After a very careful deliberation the faculty committee on athletics ' has decided, having made a thorough examination of the facts and circum stances in each case, that O. M. Aber nathy, W. I.

The new Carolina Magazine, the Tar Baby, and the Tar Heel, re leased their first issues for the year on the first date of registration. All show much work on the part of the editors in preparation before the col lege opening. The new Carolina Magazine, which is edited by Willie Horner and an able board of associate editors, has very creditable opening issue. The plans for the magazine this year are very elaborate, the publication to bis issued semi-weekly and in a more In teresting form than ever, if the as pirations of the editors materialize. A broad and impressive editorial policy will be carried out by the magazine. In the first issue some strong editorials are run, and 'this will be the aim of the editor in the future. The magazine, as last year, will be composed of both feature ar ticles and fiction, modelled after the modem style used by the American Magazine. "Which way you're going to go?" Will be the rather personal querry between the hundred or more sopho mores who expect to be bidden by the social fraternities here, during the next few days. Initiations will be held by the fraternities on Mon day night, the invitations to be in the mails on noon of that day.

Get Together Meeting For Old and New Men Takes Place Tonight. The annual celebration of College Night will be held tonight in Gerrara Hall beginning at 7:30. There is an unusual program prepared for this get-together meeting and all the stu dent, regardless of css, are-, re quested to be present. F. A. Gris sebte ; will preside and to him has fallen the task of preparing the de tails and order of procedure. After the meeting in Gerrard Hall is over there will be a reception in the gym nasium to which all are Invited. The idea of this reception is two-fold, to give the freshmen a chance to meet their own classmates and the upper classmen, and to give the upper class men the opportunity to get together with their old friends. All the seniors are asked to be on hand with the freshmen "buddies" that have been assigned to them. The speakers in Gerrard will in clude student speakers representing some of the important phases of col lege activities, and among others, Mr. Frank Graham will be on hand to give us all a taste of the Carolina spirit. Llewellyn, captain elect of the base ball team, will represent" the ath letic side of college life. Garland Porter ,the first president of the stu dent body, will talk on ithe student government at the University, and on the honor system. L. J. Phipps, president of the senior class will talk on scholarship and the Phi Beta Kappa. " George Denny will rep-j resent the Carolina Playmakers. ' . The whole idea of this program is to give the new students a good idea of those important sides of the life at the University that ate not featur ed in the catalogue, but Jiave a most important place on the campus. After the program in Gerrard Halt there will be the reception ,in the gymnasium. This will be a general get' together meeting and it is ru mored that there will be some form of food on hand. Last Saturday State went to An napolis and sustained a 40 to 0 de feat at the hands of the Navy Acad emy, previously she had defeated Randolph-Macon by the same mar gin that Carolina defeated Wake Forest one week later" in her first game of the sason, consequently the game with Yale will give a basis of comparison as to the relative show ing of the two elevens against North ern elevens of the first water. . . Yale experienced .no difficulty in winning last Saturday by a large score, but the game was considered more in the light of a practice affair than an expected hotly contested game, and Carolina, is, .expected to furnish the first real opposition of the season, The first game with Eli was played three years ago during Tommy Camp bell's regime as coach. This year the Tar Heels threw a real scare into the Yale camp and managed to score one of the few touchdowns reg istered against her during the en tire season. In fact, it was then that '.'Chuck" Pharr showed up a new wrinkle in the year's rules when he picked up a ball that the Yale team looked upon as dead and registered a touchdown with it. The team that started against Wake Forest last Saturday will in all probability take the field against Yale.

The rooms are a litjtle) small for proper comfort to three roomers, but the general congested condition makes the placing of an extra man in each almost an absolute necessity. This means that the new building will care for 108 students this year. Steel .is a beautiful building in side, with pure white walls and only a narrow strip of molding around the top. The floors are of a pretty brown composition material put In by the Marbleloid company of New Durham, New Jersey. Each floor is to have shower baths, and other sanitary arrangements. The rooms have two closets for clothes, and the whole building is " excellently ar ranged. '.' ' .
