ROOMING SPACE PROBLEM
University Entrance Requirements Are
Greater Than Ever Before, Pre
ve&ing Greater Registration.
With the opening of the college year
the University is preparing to accom
modate the largest number of students
iu its 127 yews of existence. Although
the exact re.stration figures are not
avaihMe at th- present date, Registrar
Thomas J. Wil-on announced that he
expects the tot.il enrollment to reach
approximately li50, including all the
departments. Tin'-: University has re
ceived applications from 700 new men,
C25 of which are freshmen and 75 are
transfers from other colleges.
The percentage o. boys from this
state will remain about the same, which
is approximately 85. Students from
fifteen various states have applied for
admission, including one from Califor
, nia and one from Missouri. The num-
ber of women students, which has been
steadily increasing within the past few
years, takes another slight jump this
year, the registration at pVesent be
ing 75. '
Big Room Problem
The problem of accommodating the
record number of students is q enor
mous one. but it is thought tint there
will be sufficient lodging space for all.
With the completion of the four new
dormitories, a new fraternity house
and a-larger supply of rooms in Um,

The summer is over for last year's
"rushed" freshmen; and that small
band of select men known as fraternity
material will be forced to wait no long
er than Monday night for their bid to
some one of the 16 Greek letter social
fraternities. To those who considei
themselves fraternity prospects it ha'
been one series of "Duking" an.
"Von Counting." For nine month
last vear thev wore put through the s
called "curing process." The rushhg
has been gruesome to some and ple;s
ant to others. Many will bo made h'rp
py on Monday some we are sure wll
bo deeply disappointed. If you are
pectant about an invitation be hope
ful you may get what you want ind
you may not get it.
The "rushed" freshmen have een
put under the microscopic analyst, by
the old lodge men and it is surey an
acid test that thev have experienced
in the realm of brotherhoodism. Some
we are sure will be balled on a count
of having a false tooth, gold tooth, be
ing bow-legged or maybe some one will
receive a black ball for a whatj-not.
And there will be much battling and
scrapping done among the fraternities.
It will bo one clash after clash, each
grabbing for some celebrated four-but
ton lad with a brilliant college future.

The Y. M. C. A. with added equip
ment, a larger and more efficient per

is in readiness to plunge into a sig
nificant vear. Secretary Comer an
nounces that the "Y" is spending a
thousand dollars for building altera
f'ons, new furniture, and larger cquip-
lirient.
The general plan of the building will
be the same, with the reading and re
creation rooms on the first floor and the
second floor rooms used for student ac
tivity centers. A supply of lounging
chairs, divans, rugs, pillows, and other
material essential to the needs of the
building is already on the road.
Until the Graham Memorial building
is completed, the "Y" cannot supply
the proper social and recreational needs
of a rapidly growing University, but
Secretary Comer intends to continue
with the same scope of work such as
information center, self-help aid, relig
ious activities, providing speakers, ed
iting the Freshman Handbook, and such
activities as can be carried 011 with the
limited funds and equipment.
Capable Leaders
On Sunday afternoon a setting up
conference was held, in which all the
"Y" workers discussed plans for the
current year. The "Y" is fortunate in
having able men at the helm C. C.
Poindexter, president; Allen McGee,
vice president; W. A. Lilycrop, record

The University Laundry has been
busy during the summer months iu
preparation for the accommodation of
the enlarged enrollment of students
this year, according to Superintendent
and Manager Taulsen.
There have been three additions to
the personnel of the laundry. ' ' Monk ' '
Jennings, of Wilson, known as one of
the best laundry assorters in the state,
and who was with the University Laun
dry for a few months after it opened
here last fall, has returned and will
arge of this work again. W. I .

Miss Lokor, of Washington, P. C, will
be added to the ofliee staff. Miss Lo
Icer was formerly of Chapel Hill.
A new stvle double cuff press, two
collar ironers for collars attached to
shirts, a double sleeve form ironer, a
press for fancy vests, a ladies' waist
anil light lingeries ironing press, and
a ladies' skirt and dress press for
starchod work, have been added to the
machinery of the laundry. Jt is now
known as the best equipped laundry in
tho slate, and is to be ranked with any
laundry at any college institution iu
the entire country.
The laundry operated during the
summer, not only for the summer school
students and townspeople, but also car
ried out a servico for students not here.
Many bundles were handled for peo
ple in all parts of the state. Many
laundrymeii from different cities visit
ed the plant, during the summer, and
declared it to be one of the finest they
had ever seen.
C. T. Woolen, business manager of
the University, has received a number
of letters from students expressing sat
isfaetion over the service and work of
, the Laundry, and this department is
pleased that it has been able to sat-
the students.

The Library has recently received
three gifts in the nature of historical
documents which are of considerable
value. The family of the lale G. W. F.
Harper,' of Lenoir, donated a bound vol
ume of the Petersburg Daily Express
dating from May 1, 1801, to May 1,
1862, a number of important pamphlets
dealing with the Confederacy, and some
extensive iiles of the Minutes of the
Presbyteria.i Synod and of the Con
cord Presbytery.
F. B. McDowell, of Charlotte, donat
ed three bound volumes of the Char

1875, to June, 1S77, a fi'C of the South

to June, 18.80, and a f .'w odd numbers
of the "Land We Love."

Dr. L. R. Wilton, University librari
an, announces that there will be no
important changes in the general mau
ncreinent of the library. The same rules
and regulations concerning fines and
the use of books will be adhered to as
formerly. There have been a few slight
changes in the employment staff. Mil
dred Cooper and Katherine G. Batts
have been added to the library staff,
and Mary Y"ellotS"who las been prom

Antioch, in the fourth century, is

Harvard University, the University
of Pennsylvania and the University of
North Carolina may clash on the foreu
sic platform this fall, according to an
announcement by George W. McCoy,
secretary of the debating council.
Negotiations are being conducted at
the present, time looking toward the es
tablishment of a northern triangle as
a permanent thing each fall, and defi
nite anouncement as to whether this
triangular arrangement will include
Harvard will be made as soon as word
is received from the University of
Pennsylvania debating officials. Penn
sylvania has signified her intention and
desire to form the trianglo and has in
vited North Carolina to join in and
form a triangle with cither Harvard,
Yale or Princeton. The choice of the
North Carolina debating council was
Harvard. Pennsylvania is at the pres
ent time negotiating with that institu
tion relative to forming such a triangle.
If such an arrangement is made it
will nut a feather in the debating cap
of North Carolina because of the pres
tige that centers around Harvard. Caro
lina need have no fear of not show
ing up well in such an arrangement, for
this institution is famed for the real
debaters that it produces. Carolina has
won 68 per cent of her debates with
first-class institutions during the past
2a years.
Other plans for the year in the de
bating and oratorical lines call for the
scheduled Johns Hopkins- Washington
mid Lee and North Carolina triangle
in the winter quarter. In the spring
the scheduled debate with the Univer
sity of Kentucky will be held and pos
sibly another institution will be added
so that this also may be a triangle.
In late winter there will be the South
ern Oratorical Contest and in the spring
the Peace Oratorical Contest.
The intra- and inter-society contests
will be held as usual this year. In the
fall the Mary D. Wright ihter-societ.v
debate will come off; in ie winter
quarter the Junior orntoriclhcontesT
will be held, while at Commencement

The new Freshman Handbook, edited
by John Purser, under the auspices of
the Y. M. C." A., is especially attractive
and should be of infinite value to the
new men in acquainting them with the
customs and traditions of tho Univer
sity. The handbook is a concise sur
vey of information and practicable ad-
publication, the last issue appearing
this summer.
The first plans for the new comic
magazine were made this summer short
ly before the college session opened,
when a group of students interested 111
this kind of work on the campus and
anxious to have a new humorous pub
lication here conceived the idea of get
ting one started at once. Tho first is
sue was made up iu a very few days,
and the executive board is inclined to
apologize for it, stating that it was
necessary to have it out at the open
ing of school, and that tho futuro is
sues will be of a much higher standard
will be called "The
Gnrolina Boll Weevil Carolina 's Col
leo-e Comic." and will be issued each
month. In its make-up it will be on
the same order as the Tar Baby and
the other college comic magazines, with
colored covers, and featured by many
cartoons and cuts, and other humorous
material. Tho editors plan to have the
follow more the style of tno
Yale Record and some of the comics in
the eastern Universities in its mater
ial, not too many ordinary jokes but
more real clever longer articles.
ti,o mon responsible for the found
jug of the magazine are L. J. Brody,
Jack Joyner, Marshall Cooper, J. J.
Wade. Mr. Brody, who is business man
ager of the Tar Heel, will be business
manager of the Boll Weevil, assisted
by Messrs. Joyner and Cooper. .). .
Wade, who is also editor of the Tar
Heel, wil be editor-in-chief of the new
publication. The remainder of the ex
ecutive board, men for the art staff,
the editorial board, and the business
staff, will bo chosen from the student
l,n,W shortly after the session is open-

made by the Boll Weevil managers.
The Boll Weevil is 111 no way a pri

Working morning nnd afternoon on
Emorson field since the early season
call was sounded by Conches Bill and
Bob Fetzer on September 10, the 53
candidates that have reported for the
1023 football squad are in splendid
shape, and are a likely looking lot for
tho cloven to bo chosen from to start
the opening gamo against Woke For
est next Saturday at Goldsboro.
Tho first week was devoted entirely
to drilling in the fundamentals, run
ning, passing the ball, and a general
loHsening up of tho muscles. The can
didates woro nothing more than track
outfits, and even in this attire they suf
fered much from the hot, dry weather
that tho fates have decreed for tho
initial work-outs.
Too Early to Predict
It is far too early to make any pre
dictions ns to who will make up the
1923 eleven, especially since it would
seem from tho grand outlay of mater
ial that there will be a livoly tilt for
every berth. The only grounds for a
prophecy Ho in the past rocords of the
candidates, but even at that it appears
that those with less experience appar
ently promise, in some cases, to show
the sterling qualities that will give
them a call over those who have al
ready soon service for Carolina.
Exactly an even team of lotter men
aro on the Carolina squad. These men
are as follows: Blount, center; Poin
doxter, guard; Pritchard (captain),
guard; Morris Roy, end; Cochran, end;
Shepard, olid;' McDonald, back! John
ston, back; Morris Fred, back; Mc
Ghee, back; Tenney, back. Besides
this crew of experienced calibre that
has been awarded Carolina monograms,
some of the other promising mnterial
from last year's varsity sqund include
Lineberger, back; Matthews, lino; Mil
ler, line; Hogan, end; Farrell, line;
Sykes, line; Whedbeo, back; Harmon,

tions: the first dealing with general in
formation, the second devoted to "Y"
activities, the third to athletics and the
fourth to organizations. A new feature
of the handbook, several cuts of the
student leaders, the athletic captains
and the Blue Ridge delegation, consid
erably enlivens the pages.
President Chase's message to the new
men urges them to make the most of
the opportunities that Carolina offers
"Tips to Freshmen" contains a valu
able list of "do's" and "don'ts" and
ireneral information concerning Uni
versity life. The article on student gov
ernment makes plain the purpose and
ideals of the honor system nnd advises
the freshmen to acquaint themselves
with tho honor code from the outset.
The second section gives a complete
outline of the "Y's" significance, its
history, personnel, various departments
and activities. The remainder of the
"Bible" contains the usual list of or
ganizations, athletic records, yells and
songs, diary, and other bits of infor
mation of especial interest to the in
coming class.
The handbook is surely worthy of a
place in the freshman's pocket along
with his post-office key and fountain
