No. 14 INTERESTING REPORTS CO-ED EXPRESSES THANKS Committee Report on Various Phases of College Activities Many . Changes Planned. At its third regular meeting of the year, last Monday night, the Campus Cabinet discussed a number of matters pertaining to student life and activities. All members were present except Thomas Turner and Sam Cantey, junior class president and representative, respectively. Miss Adeline Denham, the co-ed member of the cabinet, expressed the appreciation of the Woman's Associa tion for the seat given them in that body. In reply, Jacobi assured her that the cabinet was glad to wel come her as the representative of a group of students hitherto unrepre sented in campus affairs. The appeal for European student relief was explained by Mr. Comer, and it was agreed that the cabinet would engineer the drive if it should be undertaken on the campus. It seems that there is suffering of a very acute nature among students at all the European universities, and American students are requested to contribute to their relief. Phipps made a report of football games played and those scheduled in the class athletic series. Robert Fra zier, who had been appointed as a committee of one to investigate the bulletin board situation, reported that they were not quite finished. He was given authority to act for the cabinet in cooperation with the chapel committee in making any ar rangements necessary. A complaint concerning the inef ficiency of organization in campus activities generally was voiced by G. B. Porter, president of the student body. He asked the cooperation of the cabinet in such matters as hold ing elections, and presiding over vari ous meetings. The practice of walking across the grass was condemned by the cabinet, and Porter promised to have some one, preferably Dr. Coker, speak in chapel on the subject. Mr. Comer mentioned the . need of labeling the streets and numbering the houses of Chapel Hill. Phipps was appointed to investigate and report on the sit uation. It was decided to invite each of the professional schools to elect a representative to the cabinet in place of the one representative at large from the three schools combined. Por ter brought up the matter of re- THE SELF-HELP MAN CHAL LENGES US TO MATCH THEIR BUTTONS Bang! We're off! The Red Cross Roll Call is in full swing. The college, the town, the county, Carrboro, the schools, the churches, and the colored people have all lined up in organization and spirit. The students and townspeople have in large numbers volun teered to make the roll call in every room and at every table in the college community. One main thing stands in the way of the roll call-general hard times and the particular fact of little available money in the middle of the month. This fact brings me to my point. The harder the money is to get, the ;more it hurts us to give, the greater the sacrifice our en listment in the Red Cross rep resents, that much more will the roll call be a roll call of manhood rather than money, a roll call of the spirit of men who will work overtime to earn a dollar to send into the gaunt places of the world where chil dren hold out their emaciated hands in hope. Let us take up the example of the many self-help men who know what a dollar means and be the first to rush to the side of the children of Europe. The Red Cross means sacrifice. Edu cation without sacrifice is train ed selfishness. Men of the University, it is up to us to match the buttons we already see on the lapels of many selfrhelp men buttons of sacrifice on men of sacrifice! We cannot stand aside. Bring us another button. F. P. G. TO A CAFETERIA PLAN IN INTERESTING TALK HI-Y CLUB IS FORMALLY AT Dr. Greenlaw, Head of English De partment, Advises "Not to Load With Sweets." DEFINES ALL EDUCATION I Comparison of the present eys ! tern of University education to a I cafeteria, in which one selects his ifood from a great variety on the 'counter, was made by Dr. Greenlaw in chapel Tuesday morning. "The ! people who run the cafeteria expect !us to make a balanced selection," he 'said, "and not to load our trays with I pie and sweets in other words, with I 'pud' courses." j Dr. Greenlaw humorously defined i the "goose" conception of education 'as that which is delicately conscious ' of what is proper and what is not, but which is, at the same time, skill ful in the art of side-stepping the question. Another theory the "goat" theory, consisted in sitting in the class-room and looking wise. Both ' these conceptions are bad, he said, and even the cafeteria system which we have now is not entirely above criticism. "Suppose," said he, "having gone down the aisle, selected the various dishes for your meal, put them on your tray, and paid for them at the cashier's desk, you should sit down Roy L. Vail, Boys' Work Secretary! of State, Congratulates Mr. Comer on His Plan. The formal organization of all former Hi-Y men of the Freshmen class took place at a delightful ban quet which taxed, the capacity of the social rooms of the Presbyterian church last Tuesday night. The out standing feature of the program was a talk by Roy L. Vail, boys' work secretary of the state. Mr. Vail emphasized the fact that the meeting was making history in creating a tie between "Y" work in high school and in college. He con gratulated the secretary of the Car-i olina "Y," Mr. Comer, upon originat ing the idea and predicted that in the course of a few years there would be such an organization in every college in the state, and promised that ; he would, in his work among high school boys in the state, see Chapel Hill Fire Company Again that Carolina sot her full share of Displays Vast Speed and Effici- GEORGE SPARROW ELECTED PRESIDENT FRESHMAN CLASS Following the nominations made in chapel a week ago for officers of the Freshman class, the vote was taken by ballot Monday afternoon and the fol lowing men elected: George Sparrow, of Chapel Hill, presi dent; R.

The man who was elected president is no stranger to Carolina, as he has been seen on Emerson field for several years in the role of star back on the Chapel Hill high school eleven.

The increasing tenancy problem in North Carolina was interestingly discussed Monday night in a report by A .M. Moser on the subject, "The Landless Farmer in North Carolina," at a meeting of the North Carolina club, which is this year making a study of farm and home tenancy in the state and nation. Farm tenancy, it was shown by Mr. Moser, has been steadily on the increase, and this fact together with the social and economic conditions accompanying tenancy make this a problem of much concern. Every census taken in North Car olina has shown farm tenancy to be increasing in this state. The per centage of tenancy has steadily climbed until in 1920, the time of the last census, 43.5 per cent., or nearly half of our farmers were tenants. In this year we had 16,038 more farms in the state than in 1910, but had 10,170 more farms operated by tenants and only 6,056 more farms operated by farm owners. Farm tenancy in North Carolina is found mainly in the cotton and to bacco producing sections. It has been found that in proportion as a county produces cotton or tobacco, just in that proportion will it be a tenant area. Scotland county, the leading cotton county of the state for its size, has four-fifths of its farmers tenants, or four out of every five of its farms cultivated by ten ants. Edgecombe county, with 79.4 per cent., and Greene, with 78.2 per cent., are close competitors. The economic and social results The Y. M. C. A. has secured Dr. H. B. Wright of Yale University, historian and author, to conduct a series of personal talks in behalf of student volunteer work. Dr. Wright will work with small groups only because of doctor's orders prohibit ing the use of the lung powers, which will mean that he will be kept very busy while on the Hill, for he will be here for only two days, Sunday and Monday, November 20 and 21. For years Dr. Wright was one of the most popular professors at Yale, and was several times offered the chair of history at that institution. He is a close personal friend of a larger number of students than any other man in his work. He is a spe cialist in personal work, has studied the influence in friendship and his work here will be in this connection. (Continued on Page Four.) G000 FRESH ELEVEN Team Has Developed and Made Fine Showing Has Excellent Chance to Win From Virginia. (Continued on Page Four.) Freshmen's victory over the State College Yearlings in Weldon Friday raises high Coich Morrison's hopes for a victory over the Virginia first year team in Charlottesville next Saturday. Tha ire3hman coach was greatly pleased with the showing made by his team Friday, and be lieves they will re?-;-t in Saturday'? contest. ! The record for the first year re serve team so far this season is two victories and two defeats. Bingham and Davidson Scrubs were the con quering elevens, while Woodberry Forest and State College Freshmen have succumbed to defeats at the hands of Morrison's men. Working under the handicap of a several weeks late start, and with inexperienced but promising calibre, Coach Morrison has developed a team of some prominence. A slashing at tack with Captain Sparrow the ace, and a sturdy defense with a strong line is the constituents of the freeh men: aggregation. The annual game with the Vir ginia Freshmen will be played in Charlottesville next Saturday. If Morrison's youngsters can registei victory over the old Dominion eleven, the team will indeed have made a notable showing. BATTLETO A 0-0 TIE Meisenheimer for Juniors and Ran som and Murchison for Seniors Show Up Best. Playing open football and on the defensive the greater part of the game the Juniors held the Seniors to a 0-0 tie list Monday on Emer son field. Meisenheimer, star full back for the Juniors, made the major gains, while Ranson and Murchison were the outstanding men for the Seniors. f ; The Juniors received the ball on the kickoff and carried it straight down the field to the Seniors' 20 yard line. They lacked the. final punch and the ball went over on a fumble. From then on the game was a see saw from one side to the other, fumbles occurring frequently. The only punt of the game was made by Meisenheimer. Large gains were made by both sides. Straight football was. used, and forward passes were oftsn used by the Seniors. The majority of the passes for the Seniors were from Ranson to Murchi son and large gains' were made by them via this route. The Juniors, however, were alert and succeeded in intercepting several passes and mak ing good gains. The Seniors com pleted two out of six, while the Juniors completed only one. Due to darkness, the last two quarters were forced to be two min ute ones. The only real work of the game was during the last part of the game when the Seniors took the ball from their 20-yard line to the 40-yard line of their opponents. Honeycutt played a good end, and Sparger and Wall showed excellence at their positions. The line-up: Position Norwood Honeycutt Left End Moore Little Left Tackle Bullock Caple Left Guard Johnson Stroud Center Sparger McMurray Right Guard Epstein Wall - Right Tackle Phipps Havener Right End Ranson Mattheson Quarter Back Murchison Ditmore Right Half Back Odum Froneburger ganization to the freshmen class by J, M.

State football eleven can claim a clear title to the state championship. N. C. State defeated Carolina. Many thought that Carolina had the better team, but the score was 7 to 0, and there is no changing it. Davidson tied Carolina, 0 to 0, and N. C. State, 3 to 3, thereby chalk ing up an enviable record, but their defeat at the hands of Wake For est earlier in the season eliminates them from the running for state honors. Representative teams of North Carolina have played queer football all season. A glance at comparative scores show some really . funny things. N. C. State defeated Caro lina, 7 to 0, and V. M. I., 7 to 7. Carolina turns around and beats V. M. I. by the decisive score of, 20 to 7. Maryland defeated V. P. I., 10 to 7. Carolina defeated Maryland, 16 to 7. State defeated Carolina, 7 to 0, and V. P. I. defeated State, 7 to 3. Another badly mixed up bunch of scores. Carolina can claim almost any thing except the state honors. If they defeat Virginia, it will be only a matter of newspaper opinion as to who will be the South Atlantic champions. V. M. I. may defeat V. P. I. They play in Roanoke Thanks giving. Neither team can claim the championship, and yet V. P. I. de feated N. C. State, which ought to eliminate State. State defeated Car olina, which would eliminate her. That leaves only Virginia with a shadow of a chance to claim the honors, and if Carolina defeats Vir ginia, that eliminates everybody. There will be no South Atlantic champions if Carolina defeats Vir ginia. Among the secondury schools Trinity takes the honors by virtue of holding the best record of the reason. Elon may have some claim, but they have been badly handled by teams defeated by Trinity. Tr'n ity trimmed Wake Forest by simply cutplaying them, and Wake Forest defeated Davidson by the same method. Trinity has lost only one game and that to William and Mary. (Continued on Page Four.) ity, he has been assigned Dean of truri.

( George, zoology. With the purchase of practically $5,000 worth of new machinery for the cleaning, pressing, and tumbling of clothes, the University laundry is opening another field of activity. It is the purpose of the University offi cials to offer the student first class work in all these branches, and to clean their clothes in a scientific way, in order that the fabric may not be injured, and in order that he may have a real first class job done when he sends his clothes out to be cleaned or pressed. The financing of the matter will be on much the same plan as that now employed by the laundry for the washing. A deposit will probably be made by the student, allowing him to have a certain number of suits pressed a week, and a certain num ber of suits cleaned per month, and at a much cheaper rate than Uni versity students are now forced to pay. The system to be employed in the cleaning of the clothes will be the adoption cf a chemical formula used by all the leading American dry cleaners. The formula is the prop erty of the National Dry Cleaners' Association of America, and is used by members of that organization only. Only these men who are able to pass a rigid chemical examina tion are allowed to use the formula. Mr. Paulsen has this formula, and he will use it in the cleaning of the clothes. Mr. Pnulsen stated that the new department would be as modem as any in the country. The students will not be forced to have their cleaning and pressing done t the laundry.
