AD0RESSJ1F PRESIDENT
"The Old University Has Ended"
Says Dr. Chase, in Welcoming
Students Back to the Hill.
DEPLORES HAZING HERE
Tlie University was formally opened
at 12 o'clock last Friday by President
H. W. Chase," who addressed a fair au
dience in Memorial Hall. The new men
were heartily welcomed, and exhorted
to begin at once to discharge their du
ties at Carolina, and to enjoy the privi
leges that she offers.
In his address Dr. Chase asserted
that the old University had ceased, and
he set forth vividly an ideal for the
new one. "The old institution," he
said, "fixed in its traditions, invariable
in its order of procedure, and conserva
tive in its policy, has ended. The Uni
versity is now becoming something,
rather than being something."
Dr. Chase stated that he believed
Carolina to be the greatest state uni
versity in the South today. To confirm
tliis statement he cited the fact that
90 per cent of its student body came
from North Carolina, and that 80 per
cent of the students entering here are
products of the high schools of this
state. Unlike privately endowed insti
tutions, three-fourths of all appropria
tions to the University come from the
state treasury. All this goes to make
Carolina a state university in the full
est sense, Dr. Chase stated.
"Since the University owes practi
cally everything to the state," he con
tinued, "its mission should be service
to North Carolina and through North
Carolina to the Southland and the na
tion." He pointed out the fact that
this would imply growth, and that
growth means a greater complexity of
campus problems. '"But now is a
splendid time to be a student," he said.
"It means a richer life at Carolina.
The campus has been passing through
the stage of discovery, and this year
should be one of constructive work on
problems which have been found."
According to Dr. Chase, the Univer
sity should turn out men educated for
service to the state. The needs of
North Carolina should be sought out,
and preparation for them supplied in
the curriculum. "But we should not
stop here," he continued. "The Uni
versity should frame one for life m
the world as well as in this state."
Dr. Chase then spoke of the religious
responsibility of Carolina to her stu
dents, and explained the honor system
to the new men. He deplored the fact
that this year hazing, even in a slight
degree, is in evidence on the campus.
Passing on to the responsibilities of
students to the University, Dr. Chase
declared that it was entirely up to the
students to fulfil Carolina's obligation
to the state, and their own duties to
themselves. "You may crawl on all
fours to a college diploma," he said,
"but you will not then be educated.
You will bo wasting your time and the
state's money, as well as cheating your
self out of being what you otherwise
might have been."

TOSTANDARDIZESCHOOLS
OTHER CHAPEL CHANGES
TO BE PUT IN EFFECT
Upper Classmen Attend Only Two Days
in Week and Allowed Three
"Grats" Per Quarter.
Still further changes were announced
in the chapel regulations last Friday.
Upperclassmen attend chapel twice a
week Mondays and Fridays. Fresh
men are required to attond five times
a week. The chapel period will be the
samo length that it was last year. But
the faculty has voted that the Presi
dent be allowed to call the student
body together to hoar , some important
speaker providing that he does not use
this privilege more than once every
two weeks. These convocations will
not all occur at the same hour but will
be scattered throughout the periods so
that no one period will suffer more than
another.
Upperclassmen will bo allowed three
unexcused absences from chapel each
quarter while freshmen will be allowed
eight. If the number of allowed ab
sences, is exceeded by one, the offender
will bo placed on probation, and if ho
misses chapel while on probation he
will be suspended for the rest of the
term and receive no credit for his work,
no matter what part of the term his
violation occurs.
' This use of the "allowed absence"
system was made necessary on account
At a meeting of the central division
of high school principals in Ealeigh
Friday night, the University of North
Carolina was represented by M. C. S.
Noble, N. W. Walker, M. R. Trabue
and E. R. Kankin. This was the third
meeting of its kind to be held in the
state, the fundamental purposes of the
conferences being:
(1) To afford an opportunity where
by all the high school principals in one
of the five educational districts of
North Carolina might gather for the
purpose of submitting their plans of
school work aud to exchange ideas with
other educators;
(2) To get the general policy of the
State Board of Education with regard
to general high school development.
The University is interested in both
of these important endeavors and to
them all of her representatives contrib
uted new ideas and suggestions worthy
of consideration.
The question of high school athletics
was discussed fully and regulations gov
erning the eligibility of high school
players to engage in state champion
ship contests were submitted by E. E.
Rankin and adopted by the conven
tion. In preparing these regulations,
Mr. Rankin sought to give athletic
sports their proper place in high school
by declaring that athletics are truly
essential but that they should not be
placed above school work, and that no
person should be allowed to engage in
school athletics unless he makes pass
ing grades on all courses and maintains
at least 50 per cent attendance during
the school session.
In adopting these regulations, the
University committee on high school
athletics feels that it is taking- a great
step towards eliminating the mere high
school athlete and that these regula
tions will force the athlete to maintain
a high academic standing while in high
school. They would eliminate the man,
regardless of his athletic ability, who
was not typical of his school spirit to
wards work and activities.
In addition to the discussion of ath
letic problems Professor Walker spoke
on high school problems and the wis
dom in building up a course of study
that will lead somewhere. Mr. Walker
advocated a course in all high schools
which would prepare a man to enter
any standard college in the condition
in which he should enter. He pointed
out that too much stress was being laid
on courses and currieulums designed for
those who had no intention of taking
collegiate work. Professor Walker rea
soned that the boy who aspired to go
to college should be given more consid
eration than the boy who was content
with a mere high school education.
In regard to the progress made by
the schools of the state, Professor No
ble spoke very optimistically, and he
declared that he was pleased to note
(he upward trend of high school cur
riculums and general development.
The outeonio of this convention is
deemed to be a moat successful effort
towards standardizing the high schools
of the state, and in doing this many
boys and girls throughout tle state
will be prepared to enter college on a
more equal basis and many will be pre
pared to grasp more of the opportuni
ties of a college education.
PLAYMAKEKS TEYOUT
The Fall play, Booth Tarkington's
"Seventeen," will be read in the
auditorium of Peabody Hall, Friday
evening, October 6, at 7:30 o'clock.
The usual procedure for the casting
of the Carolina Folk-Plays will be
used. Tryouts, open to everybody,
will be held in Peabody Auditorium
three days later, Monday, October 9.
The parts will be on reference at
the library during the intervening
period and those expecting to try
for any of the places in the cast for
this production should consult the
manuscript thoroughly beforehand.
This popular modern comedy is
well known throughout the country
in novel form. It has only recently
been dramatized and is not yet pub
lished in this form, and it was only
with great difficulty that the Play
makers were able to secure the act
ing rights. The royalty on this play
is very heavy but it is the belief of
the management of the Playmakers
that due to the popularity of "Sev
enteen," the production can be made
successful financially.

VERY IMPORTANT CHANGE
of the large number of men here. It
was impossible to call every man up for
nn absence from chapel, so this system
is introduced with the idea that the
individual will have to keep his own
record. When he oversteps his allowed
absences he is automatically placed on
probation. Many do not like this sys
tem because it has a tendency to have
only about 80 efficiency; that is, it
causes a man to take his "grats" be
cause he is allowed them and not lend
his influence to making chapel attend
ance what it should be.

(By Victor V. Young)
On Saturday night at 7:30 the Phi
lanthropic Assembly will hold its first
regular meeting of the collegiate year.
Last Saturday night a brief business
meeting was held for the purpose of lin
ing up the machinery for the ensuing
quarter, and also to make preparations
for the taking in of new men. The Phi
expects to have at least one hundred
initiates on the first night of initiation
and this is the goal toward which the
old men will work.
During the summer there was secured
from the alumni office a complete list
of the incoming freshmen from the east
ern part of the state, and from this list
of Jthree hundred odd names, was cheek
ed off about one hundred men who stat
ed emphatically that they were inter
ested in literary society work. These
men have been sent letters during the
summer by both the membership com
mittee and the speakr of the Assembly.
So this year the Phi is counting not
alone upon quantity of material but up
on quality as well; she is endeavoring
to get men who are interested in the
thing she is attempting to do.
The Phi, as soon as she links up her
new men, is to begin work on what
many of the old men believe to be her
greatest and most successful year. She
cannot hope to mako a better showing
than last year in inter-society contests
since last year she practically swept
the schedule, winning every contest
with the lone exception of the Sopho
more debate, but it is hoped that the
internal organization can be so spurred
that the weekly meetings and open
forum discussions will be genuinely in
teresting and participated in by a larg
er portion of the members.
During lust commencement the Phi
alumni pledged to aid in the raising
of a fund with which to repair and re-
equip the old hall in order that it might
adequately take care of its ever-increasing
membership. It has been learn
ed recently by society authorities that
the University anticipates repairing
both literary society halls some time
during the next year, and since these
plans have not taken definite shape as
yet the Phi will probably postpone for
a few months its anticipated campaign
among its alumni for the purpose of
raising the reparation fund; one thing
is pretty certain, however, and that is
that the hall is to be repaired and re
equipped some time during the next
twelve months. Dan Grant, secretary
of the alumni association and a prom
inent Phi alumnus, has promised to aid
the society by furnishing from his of
fice a complete roster of Phi alumni
as soon as such a list can be compiled.
The literary societies still carry the
extra financial burden of subsidizing
the Carolina Magazine. On Saturday
night a new proposal is to bo brought
up by which the magazine may- still
be subsidized, and yet will not be a
drain upon the society's limited re
sources. An extensive debating pro
gram has been arranged by the debate
council aud some disposition must be
made of the magazine problem, since
the community budget was defeated
last spring and also since this ambi
tious debating program, as heretofore,
must be financed by the two literary
societies. The proposed proposition
will at least take care of this year's
problem, and certainly will not work a
hardship upon any one member.
UNHAPPY BAPTISTS GO DOWN
BENEATH WATERS OF DEFEAT;
AMAZING SCORE IS 62 TO 3
FRESHMEN LOOK GOOD IN
EARLY GRIDIRON PRACTICE
At the first regular meeting of the
faeulty for this year, which was hold
last Friday afternoon, a very import
ant change was made in the disciplin
ary machinery of the University. Dean
Francis F, Bradsliaw, who heretofore
lias been the ex-officio chairman of the
faeulty executive committee, and con
sequently has had the job of looking
after the men who violate the various
University regulations governing at
tendance and conduct, was relieved
from the duties of the chairmanship by
action of the faculty. This action was
deemed necessary by the faculty both
on account of the conditions here and
the way in which these conditions have
been met at other leading colleges and
universities.
Last year, at the suggestion of Pres
ident Chase, the executive committee
made an investigation of the ways in
which the University might best deal
with students as individuals rather
than in mass, and what changes were
needed in the administrative organiza
tion. This change comes as the result
of the study made last year. The dean
of students this year is to be more of
an adviser to the students. Before he
has been acting both in a preventative
as well as a punitive sense. Now, how
ever, the punitive and definitely disci
plinary part of the office the faculty
executive committee chairmanship has
been removed. The committee this
year is composed of H. M. Wagstaff,
chairman, and W. S. Bernard, J. M.
Bell, P. H. Daggett aud A. C. Mcin
tosh.
A very peculiar condition exists in
tbVi'ivorsi in regards to-discipline.
Student government here is really not
recognized by the trustees, the legis
lature, or the state at large. The cata;
log states that "by order of the board
of trustees the faculty is directed to
dismiss from the Universeity any stu
dent" who is guilty of misconduct.
However the faculty recognizes the
governing of the student council and
accepts its decisions. This recognition
was first granted under the presidency
of the late Dr. Battle. Under the ad
ministration of Dr. Venable an appeal
could be made to the faculty. The stu
dents were allowed the privilege of
electing a board of appeals from the
faculty. Finally, this gradually disap
peared and was forgotten. Under Dean
Stacy the faculty reported misconduct
to the faculty committee and the stu
dents reported the misconduct they saw
to the studnct council. Dean Brad
sliaw, however, made the change that
all cases should go to the student coun
cil and last year practically all cases
were so handled. But it is generally
recognized that the faculty has charge
of the discipline under the ruling of
the board of trustees must be made,
for if not the faculty would be shirk
ing the duty placed upon them by the
trustees.
Dean Bradsliaw has been made chair
man of the student life and activities
committee, which is composed of W. 8.
Bernard, A. II. Pattersonfi P. J. Weaver,
C. A. Hibbard, W. T. Matherly and
Mrs. Stacy. This appointment clearly
shows the nature of the change made
by the faculty. Mr. Bradsliaw as chair
man of this committee has his only dis
ciplinary functions in that ho will deal
with the conditions from which cases
requiring discipline arise. In this ca
pacity he will have the opportunity of
making a closer relationship with indi
vidual students. Then he is to spend
more time with the freshman class than
formerly. He is to concentrate his at
tentions to the incoming classes to
learn their needs, interests, prepara
tion for college, and to act as an ad
viser to them. In connection with this
ho has socured some forty volunteer
members of the faeulty to aid him in
getting the faculty and the incoming
classes more closely connected. This
group of the faculty met last Saturday
night to select the men from the fresh
man class to whom they are to act as
advisers. Plans will be worked out by
the individual members of the faculty
as to the manner in which the relation
ship will be established.
The faculty also elected the advisory
commitco which consults with the Pres
ident in regard to carrying on the Uni
versity in the proper manner. No other
business was taken up.
Over Hundred Candidates Report to
Coaches Number of Prep School
Stars Are Out.
Freshman football practice began Fri
day afternoon on the new class athletic
field. Over 100 candidates reported to
Coaches Alexander and Shepard for the
first work-out which consisted largely
of passing and other fundamentals.
Among those out for Coach Alexan
der's team are several men who have
made enviable records in prep school
circles. Brown, Bingham and Robcr
son, Weaver, are promising candidates
for the line. Leading backfield men
are Devon, Woodbury Forest; Griffin,
Fishburn; Rushton, Raleigh High; and
Foy, Bingham.
With such a wealth of material on
hand the coaches will have a hard prob
lem selecting the squad. It will be sev
eral days before the first cut is made,
as three weeks remain before the first
game. October 21 the yearlings will
play the University of Maryland fresh
men at Washington.
It is planned to have two schedules
for the first year teams this fall. One
team will play for the South Atlantic
freshman championship. The othor
eleven will have games with prep
schools and leading high schools.
Games with Bingham and several Vir
ginia schools are now pending.

Chapel Hill high school opened the
1922 football season on Emerson field
Saturday afternoon by defeating the
heavy but inexperienced Burlington
team 32 to 0. The result was never in
doubt, Burlington being clearly out
classed in every department of the
game.
The playing of Poythress, White, and
J. Mclver for Chapel Hill furnished the
features of the game. Poythress ran
wild throughout the game, and was re
sponsible for four of Chapel Hill's
touchdowns, while White, the young
Texan, broke loose for a (50-yard run
for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
While the whole Chapel Hill line put
up a stiff fight, the work of J. Mclver
at right end was nothing short of sen
sational.

K. C. Frazier and F. M. Green have
been secured by the department of his
tory as associate professors. Mr. Fra
zier 's home is Evergreen, Ala. He re
ceived his A. B. at Wofford. During
the year 1920-21 he was a teaching
fellow at this University and at the
end of the year received his A. M
degree. For the past year he has been
pursuing his studies at JohnB Hopkins
University. Mr. Green is a native of
Gainsville, Ga., having received his A.
B. at Emory University. He also be
came a teaching felow at this Uui
versity and received his A. M. last
June.
The Carolina first, second and part
of the third team went down to Golds-
horo Saturday morning and that after
noon completely and literally beat the
fire out of Wake Forest. The good
Baptist brethren didn 't have a chance,
although the spirited Wake Forest stu
dent body was all there and cheered
the team, even after the score was
hopelessly lop-sided. The final score
as arrived at by several newspaper mea
was 62 to 3.
There isn't much to say about the
game. Coach Fetzer sout in the first
team to start it off and by the time the
socond period started an entirely new
team faced the Baptists. Before the
half waB over all the rest of the men
carried on the trip took part in the
molee. The Varsity looked good on the
offense but didn't have much of a
chance to show any defensive playing,
the Wake Forest team having the ball
only throe times while the first string
was in the game and one of those times
was when the initial kick-off was re
ceived by Lowry, the fast Wake Forest
back.
The mighty Sparrow and equally her
alded Merritt got their chance. When
Casey struck out in Mudvillo there
were many tears. There were no tears
in Dustville, which is Chapel Hill, Sat
urday night. Both the men showed the
stuff, Merritt getting away for a 40
yard run in the last period and Spar
row being almost entirely responsible
for one of the touchdowns coming near
the fag-end of the game. The entire
team worked like a machino tearing
holes in the opposing line when neces
sary and plowing through a broken field
at will. The field was broken most of
the time.
McDonnld, handling the team at
quarter, showed up well, running tho
team well and carrying tho ball for
long gains with regularity. Blunt did
the goal kicking and the punting was
divided up.
Wake Forest Eeceives Kick-Off
Wake Forest won the toss and choso
to receive. Lowery received tho kick
on tho 10-yard lino and returned 10
