MULTITUDES IN CITIES
Gullick Make Report Before North
Carolina Club on Interesting and.
Distressing Economic Problem.
"The Homeless Multitudes in
Urban Areas," was the subject of a
report made by J. G. Gullick before
the North Carolina club at its regu
lar bi-weekly meeting Monday night
in Phillips Hall.
Some figures were cited by the
speaker to show that home tenancy
in the United States cities has reach
ed such proportions that it has come
to be recognized as an important
economic and social problem. At the
present time 54.4 per cent, of all the
people in the United States live in
rented homes and only 28.2 per cent,
of the homes are owned free from
encumbrance. This means that 71.8
per cent, of all the homes in this
country are either rented or mort
gaged or otherwise encumbered. The
ratio of home tenancy for cities alone
is considerably larger. In North Car
olina 62.6 per cent, of all the homes
are rented, and when the last census
report was made for North Carolina
cities the percentage of tenancy in
urban communities was 66.2.
The effect of homelessness upon
citizenship, local law and order, so
cial and anti-social attitudes, upon
the sense of civic responsibility and
upon schools and illiteracy was dis
cussed to show why tenancy is an
important problem from the social
and civic standpoint. '
One of the main facts brought out
in the discussion was the fatal law of
home ownership, which seems to be:
the penalty of city civilization. This
law ig that apparently the more pros-1
perous and populous a community be-;
comes the fewer are the people who1
live in homes of their own, and the;
larger the multitude of tenants and
Tenters. This is a strange anomaly;
for a prosperous, democratic civili-i
nation, but statistics indicate that it
U a fact. ,
The noted journalist and lecturer,
Isaac F. Marcosson, will be heard in
Gerrard Hall next Thursday night.
This is one week later than first an
nounced, the date having been post
poned from December 1 to Decem
ber 8.
The University Lecture . Commit
tee, of which Dr. Archibald Hen
derson is chairman, considers itself
unusually fortunate in being able to
secure Mr. Marcosson, a writer of
world-wide reputation, .whose inter
views with kings, captains of indus-
trv. statesmen, and dominant liter
ary men of thei hour have (been
eagerly read, not only in America but
in many foreign countries. In the
course of his lecture here he will
tell of his interviews with King Al
bert of Belgium, Clemenceau, Lloyd
George, Marshal Foch, H. G. Wells,
Bernard Shaw, and other men of like
prominence.
In order to partially defray the
great expense of bringing such a val
uable man to the University, the Lec
ture Committee announces that a
general admission fee of thirty-five
cents will be charged, reserved seats
selling for fifty cents. "And if every
seat in the hall could be sold at that
price," said Dr. Henderson, "the Uni
versity would still stand to lose more
than the entire cost of getting an
ordinary lecturer to come here."

Swine Hall, departing from the
usual routine, set forth a spread on
Sunday at noon that dazzled the eyes
of even the most ardent tea hound.
Whether the head of the beannery
was trying ,to give a celebration in
honor of the winning of the great
turkey day game, or whether he is
planning Jo raise the "rent" for
board, it is not known, but he sure
did spread the turkey on the Sunday
following the turkey day game.
Many of the hardened bean-eaters

An interesting account of mission
ary work among the Indians in
Alaska was presented in chapel Mon
day morning by Dr. Frederick B.
Drane, a Carolina alumnus of the
class of 1912.
Dr. Drane has been engaged in mis
sionary work in the interior of Alaska
for the past six years and now bears
the title of archdeacon of the Yukon.
During his two days stay in Chapel
Hill he was the guest of Rev. A. S.
Lawrence, rector of the local Episco
pal church, preaching in this church
Sunday morning, and also making a
number of talks to missionary or
ganizations of the town.
Dr. Drane spoke of the general
misconceptions concerning the cli
mate 'of Alaska. Instead of being a
country of perpetual ice and snow,
as many people believe it to be, in
the summer time it . brings forth
grass, flowers, agricultural products
of all kinds, and a great many mos
quitoes. The extremes of temperature
are rather interesting, he said, going
as high in the summer as 120 de
gress above zero and in the winter
as low as 68 degrees below.
The speaker told of the long
periods of daylight and darkness and
gave vivid description of the mid
night sun and the northern lights.
"In the town of Fairbanks where I
live," he said, "they have to blow
the fire whistle to let the children
know when it's time to go to bed."
The natives among whom he has
been working he has found to be
an interesting proposition. With no
religion and no conception of God,
they are utterly at the mercy of the
medicine man and his evil spirits.
The missionaries make headway by
teaching the fundamentals of the
Christian religion, which the natives
characterize as a light shining in
darkness, and for which they express
their deepest thanks to the missionaries.
Fetzer' Eleven Left Yesterday for
' Jacksonville to Play Last Game
of Season.
FLORIDA HAS GOOD TEAM
Carolina meets Florida in Jackson
ville Saturday in the last football
game of the season. The team left
yesterday for the southern resort and
will be there a day before the game.
There is very little to indicate the
comparative strength of the two
teams with the exception of Florida's
game with South Carolina in which
they tied them by the same score
that Carolina did.
Indications are that 'Carolina will
win by a comfortable margin unless
Florida springs something they have
failed to show so far.
If the game proves a success it
will probably develop into a regular
post-season struggle between the two
institutions.
Sport writers in the south have
stated that Florida has shown more
improvement in the past season than
any other team in the south. Foot
ball in the extreme southern states
cannot be played with the same vigor
and dispatch in the earlier part of
the year and the Florida eleven is
probably just reaching its zenith.
The Carolina team went to the
southern city with the same line-up
as presented to the Virginia eleven
Thanksgiving. The entire squad is
in fine shape and while Coach Fetzer
is non-committal about the game the
general feeling on the campus is that
Carolina will turn in another win as
an anti-climax of the season.

The campus cabinet met in regular
session Monday night with only three
members kept away by the rough
weather. L. J. Holloman and T. B.
Aycock, the newly elected represen
tatives from the pharmacy and medi
cal schools, were present, and, after
having been introduced to the other
members of the cabinet, took their
seats as the representatives of their
respective schools.
In the absence of Secretary Comer
of the Y. M. C. A., the plans for
the drive in the interest of European
Student Relief were explained by
C. J. Williams. The cabinet endorsed
the movement by unanimous vote,
and decided that the "Y" was the
proper agency through which it
should be worked on the campus.
Phipps reported that he had con
ferred wtih Mayor Roberson in re
gard to getting the Chapel Hill streets
properly labeled and the houses num
bered. He has been assured by the
mayor, he said, that this matter would
be attended to in the near future,
the heavy expense incident to the new
road building having prevented its
being done sooner.
The questoin of reports from the
various campus organizations have
been taken up wtih Dean Bradshaw
and two chapel periods per week are
available for such reports. L. J.
Phipps and Mis3 Denham were ap
pointed as a committee of two for
the purpose of assisting Dean Brad
shaw in getting a schedule for these
reports properly arranged.
The cabinet considered the pre
valence of get-rich-quick advertising
schemes on the campus. It was recom
mended that the business managers
of the three student publication?, the
Tar Heel, Magazine and Yackety
Yack, who are the chief sufferers
from these amateur ventures, take
the matter up with Manager Woollen,
the plan favored by the cabinet being
that all such advertising agents be
required to secure credentials from
the business manager's office before
being allowed to solicit advertise
ments. ' Two other matters discussed by the
cabinet and which Porter promised
to bring to the attention of the stu
dent body in chapel were "hoboing"
and the playing of musical instru
ments in the dormitories at all hours
of the day and night
Dr. C, S. Mangum, chairman of
the faculty committee on athletics,
accompanied by Dr. A. H. Patterson,
a member of the committee, left last
night for Atlanta to represent the
University in the fall meeting of the
Southern Inter-collegiate Athletic as
sociation. Dr. Mangum would not talk before
leaving the campus, but it is generally
understood that if the association at
tempts to handle any phase of the
Virginia dispute over the Thanksgiv
ing game, both men will be amply
able to present the University of I
North Carolina's side of the matter, j
Several other vital and important
changes in the rules regulating col
lege athletics in the south will be
brought up by the representatives of
the University for action by the
body.
The meeting is fraught with un
usual interest this year, as it is un-
The "Inn" Goes Up In Flames
While Annex Is Saved By
Students.
SAVE EVERYTHING INSIDE
Burning of One of Cbapel Hill's Old
est Building Leaves Forty-Two
Students Without a Room.
Fire of unknown origin, breaking
out in the attic of the Old Chapel
Hill Inn at 1:45 o'clock Wednesday,
completely destroyed the building,
leaving forty-two students without
sleeping quarters.
The fire was discovered by stu
dents passing the building, and the
alarm quickly spread. The fire de
partment responded to the alarm and
devoted most of its time to throwing
water against the walls of the side
of the building that wasn't burning.
Several students took a small pres
sure hose to the top of the annex and
were the chief instruments in saving
that building.

The old inn was pressed into ser
vice as a dormitory last year when
the rooming facilities of the Uni

that time students have been occupy

Another important change about
to take place is the ruling that a
man can play first year football and
baseball and then play only three
more years on varsity teams. This
rule will be placed into effect this
year, but it is not supposed that it
will be retro-active, and no man play

The workings of the association
this year will be watched with in

of its kind have died a natural death
after one or two years of activity.
It is thought by many that the pres

its kind ever organized, and that it
will be a decided power in strength

stronger and cleaner brand of foot

south.

tractors for work they have been

preparation for the huge craft to be

The world problem discussion
group, conducted under the auspices
of the Student Volunteer Band, held
an interesting meeting in the County
Club Boom of the "Y" last Tuesday
night, the subject being a discussion
of Japan, conducted by Prof. C. A.
Hibbard.
Professor Hibbard has spent seven
years in Japan and was, therefore,
well informed on his subject, al
though according to his own state
ment, it is easier for a foreigner to
understand Japan after staying two
weeks than after seven years resi
dence. Mr. Hibbard's talk was composed
of answers to questions of members
of the group, the first and probably
most important being the attitude of
the Japanese toward Americans.
Their attitude toward Americana is
more cordial than Americans' attitude
toward the Japanese. Mr. Hibbard
was in Japan during the Japanese
troubie in California, and was treated
with more consideration than could
be expected of an American toward
when the blaze was discovered. The
origin of the fire is unknown but

, BAYS PORTER
President of Student Body Discour
ages New Institution of "Rush
ing" and "Hoboing."
(Continued on Page Three.)
A spokesman for the student coun
cil and the campus cabinet, G. B. Por
ter, president of the student body,
made a statement in chapel Tuesday
morning. The council, according to
Porter, is working toward the elim
ination of two evils prevalent on the
campus: "Rushing" and stealing. The
campus cabinet discourages "hobo
ing" and indiscriminate playing of
musical instruments in dormitory
buildings.
"There has grown up lately on .the
campus," said Porter, "a thing known
as rushipg. It is carried into many
situations: the Chapel Hill-Goldsboro
game is one; the rushing of the Pick
wick is another. This thing of rush
ing is dead on pur campus, for tbe
student council cannot see its justifi
cation at alj, and takes a determined
stand against it, feeling that every
man on the campus will back them
up, once attention is focused on it.
"We regret very much to say that
there is a noticeable amount of steal
ing going on here. The student coun
cil has seen fit to appoint a commit
tee from itself to study this situa
tion and investigate the cases as they
occur. We are counting on the con
centrated attention of the student
body to eradicate it completely. Since
the council is not composed of de
tectives it wishes to urge the student
body to be constantly mindful of this
situation.
Hobo trips are coming into great
favor lately. It seems that every
time the team leaves there is a gen
eral migration of more or less de
gree, an exodus prompted by loyalty
