FULL LIST OF INITIATES ' The anual fall initiations are over and 93 men have had their names add ed to Carolina's fraternity roll. Every fraternity for itself has been the status on the campus for the past week and the good fight has been made with an open spirit. AH is fair in love and oth er things, it seems, especially in win ning a desired brother. The bars of secrecy have been let down to the fortunates and a great field of unknown and mystic signs, oaths and grips have been revealed to them. At last they have been given the keys to the golden shrine, and become sworn brothers. The list of those men initiated is giv en here, according to the University fraternity roll.

(Continued on page three) EMERSON FIELD WIDENED BY LEVELLING ON SOUTH WORK OF NORTH CAROLINA CLUB TO FRESHMEN IN CHAPEL "What Next in North Carolina" To Be Subject of Year's Study $50 Prize Offered. WILL MEET FORTNIGHTLY yale Game 'Promises JVot to Be a Sunday School Ticnic Not Expected That Contest Will Bear Any Resemblance to One sided Affair of Last Year. Coach Fetzer and his team left today for New Haven, where Carolina plays Yale tomorrow afternoon. Although Yale has one of the best teams in the East, it is not probable that the outcome of the Yale-Carolina game will Obe as one-sided as that of last year's game. PLAYMAKER TRYOUTS FOR "SEVENTEEN" TO BE HELD When the work now being done on the south of the athletic field is com pleted, it will take even a longer fly to reach the woods than any of those which thrilled the spectators of the last baseball game with Trinity. All the rubbish of the -campus, together with all the waste stones and dirt resulting from the building, grading, and ditch ing operations on the campus, are be ing dumped south of Emerson Field. The hedge will eventually be moved buck an average of about 150 feet, thus widening the field. This has entailed a large amount of hauling, as the em bankment is at least 12 feet high. Speaking to the freshmen in chapel Tuesday, Dr. E. C. Branson, head of the Extension Department, explained the nature of the North Carolina Club, and briefly outlined its plans for the coming year. He described the func tion of the club, and in a general way told what it had been doing in the past. Dr. Branson explained that any stu dent of the University, whatever his class affiliation might be, could become a member of the North Carolina Club. The club holds fortnightly meetings, at which papers are read and discussions carried on. Each year the club takes some subject, or series of related sub jects, and makes an extensive study of it. At the end of the year a bulle tin, containing reports of all investi gations made during that year, is is sued. "The North Carolina Club," Dr. Branson said, "studies the social and business life and problems of the state." In stating its plans for the coming year, he said that the club would undertake to answer the ques tion, "What next in North Carolina?" Dr. Branson has 23 suggestions of plaus ible answers to this question. He will submit each of these to members of the club, who will investigate and de velop them during the coming year. The first meeting will be held in Phil lips Hall lecture room Monday night, October 16, at 7:30 o'clock. A creditable answer receives college credit for class promotion, graduation, or graduate degrees, provided the stu dent registers promptly with the" proper University officials for club credit. The best answer of the present col lege year is worth $50 in gold the Uni versity prize established by Hon. J. W. Bailey, of Raleigh. All answers that reach the high level of University standards will be given to the reading public in the 1922-23 Year-Book of the Club under the title, "'What Next in North Carolina!" The following is a list of 23 suggest ed topics given out by Dr. Branson: 1. The Equalizing of Taxes. 2. The Corporations and the Common wealth. 3. Private Wealth and Public Wei fare. 4. Capital, Labor, and the Public in North Carolina. (Continued on page three) FOOTBALL GAMES TOMORROW Wake Forest vs. Elon at Wake Forest. Washington and Lee vs. N. 0. State at Lexington.

T REACHED BY REGISTRATION More Than 1800 Already Enrolled Housing Problem Still Unsolved Other Problems Also. (Editorial) Last year the predominance of ad vertisements in the Tar Heel, leav ing little space for news matter, re sulted in much dissatisfaction among the subscribers. A glance at the last issue of the Tar Heel, which was overcrowded with advertise ments, would seem to indicate that the same fault will he found with the paper again this year. The edi tors, however, desire to assure the readers that such will not be tho case. Several important news stories were left out of last issue due to this misunderstanding between the business and editorial staffs, which has been straightened out by an agreement that in the future only a definite reasonable percentage of the paper will he used for adver tising space. In spite of the fact that in every newspaper plant tho business managers and the editors are forever waging a battle, and the Tar Heel office is unhappily no ex ception, we promise faithfully to see that this agreement will he strict ly adhered to. The board of editors of the Carolina Magazine, of which George W. McCoy is the chief, in session assembled last Monday night adopted a constructive policy for the year. This policy con sists of devoting any given issue of the Magazine to some specific subject, such as student activities, Southern litera ture, etc., although a few articles of a different nature may be used in such an issue. This policy, the editors be lieve, cannot fail to interest the stu dent body as well as the state at large. A long and hot discussion took place as to the editorial policy to be pursued throughout the year in which tho chief editor took little part, but rather at the conclusion of the" discussion stated that it was his personal affair, and left tho impression that he would do as he pleases. It is understood that he will not adhere closely to Hornerism, al though many of his editorials will con cern student activities and student life. McCoy rather means to profit by tho experience of the Tar Heel magazine wrangle of last year, and steer clear, since no good was accomplished for either publication in the Daniels-Hor-ner bouts of last year. The editor also announced that ma terial for the November number of the Magazine must be in by Tuesday, Octo ber 10. This edition is to be known as "Student Activities" number. Con tributions from any member of the stu dent body are welcomed, especially campus paragraphics, poetry, etc. All material should be sent to Box 1181 or brought to the editor at No. 2 Old East Building. The registration of the University has reached the highest point in its history. The number of students has gone well beyond the 1800 mark a mark which has never before been reached. This number of students also presents a problem on the campus that has never before been quite so big. Although there are four new dormi tories, the housing problem has not been solved. In several of the dormi tories where the size of the room per mits there has been an extra man plac ed in order to take care of the situa tion. Out in town all the available rooms have been taken so that now a "late comer" is considered lucky to get a room. Certainly the people of the state have responded magnificently to the plea for education. The number of men that have registered shows the necessity for the greater material expansion of the University. If the increase this year is suggestive of the registration for the next few years, the program of the Uni versity will have to be hastened con sidernbly. There is another nroblem that is larger than ever that of the social life of the student. Dean Bradshaw will devote more of his time to this side of college life. The Y. M. C. A, lias mapped out a program which will cover a larger area than that of last year. In fact, tho whole University is fating greater problems due to the in creased enrollment. Although the cam pus is in a stir now, everything will settle down shortly and will be run ning smoothly. Therefore the policy of "watchful waiting" is in order for the next few weeks. The team representing Old Eli is one in which weight is tho outstanding characteristic. Last Saturday Camegi3 Tech held the New Haven team to a 13 to 0 victory. Yale scored only one touchdown against a team that was out weighed 20 pounds to the man. Last season's 34 to 0 defeat at the hands of the Yale warriors must not be taken as a comparison of the strength of the two teams. It must be remem bered that "Red" Johnston did not play at all and Lowe only stayed in part of the time on account of injuries. The team has improved wonderfully since the first two or three games in 1921 and if Yale expects to face the same outfit that they defeated so easi ly last year, they will be sadly mis taken. Four teams that are on the Carolina schedule played last Saturday. All four won their contest. Besides the Yale victory over Carnegie Tech, Virginia defeated George Washington Uuiver- sity 34 to 0. Trinity won from Guil ford 43 to 0 and State College tri umphed over Randolph-Macon 20 and 2, both having comparatively weak op ponents. The State team is running true to form. Coach Hartsell has a strong defense but the baekfield looks weak. Davidson lost to the Presbytorisn Col lege of South Carolina last Friday S-7, The overwhelming score in tho Waka Forest game indicates that Carolina has a team this year that will be a seri ous contender for South Atlantic lion ors. Some critics go so far as to say that Coach Fetzer 's eleven is the great est in the history of the University. Whether this is true or not will be shown in the next few weeks. HUNT DELIVERS INAUGURAL AT INITIAL MEEKOF Dl New President Gives Society Good Sug gestions Membership Campaign to Be Put On. MECKLENBURG COUNTY CLUB WANTS SCHOOL With about 45, or one-half of its members present, the Mecklenburg County Club last Tuesday night went on record as favoring the plan of the Mecklenburg County Alumni Associa tion as to establishing the University Medical School's clinical hospital in Charlotte, as the best suited city in the state for the hospital. A commit tee was apointed to draw up a letter and send to the Alumni Association at their anual University Day meeting on October 12, informing them of the club's attitude on the hospital and also arranging for a joint meeting of the Alumni Association and the County Club in Charlotte during the Christmas holidays. The plan is to invite to this meeting all members of the senior classes of the high schools and prepara tory schools in the city and county and present to them the opportunities that the University has to offer. Former vice president J. P. Trotter rapped the first meeting of the Diulec- tie society to order last Saturday night and administered the oath of office to the president-elect for the fall quarter E. C. Hunt. President Hunt then pro eeeded to deliver his inaugural address in a very concise and orderly manner bringing several important matters to the attention of the hall and asking for the society's approval of the same. Other officers installed with the presi dent include E. H. Hartsell, vice presi dent; M. A. James, secretary; W. Cocke, Jr., first eensormorum; H. W, Boone, second censor-morum ; W. W, Gwynn, first recorder; A. D. Milstead second recorder; H. D. Duls, first cor rector; R. W. Linker, second corrector The following men were nlso initi ated into tho society, they being mem bers of upper classes: W. M. Linker Trwin Monk, Tom Grose, J. W. Birk head, L. W. Adams and C. L. Fouts. It had been previously announced that only upperclassmen would be receive into membership at the first meeting. Freshmen and first year men are to 1 received at the second meeting on next Saturday night, it was announ.cd. President's Address There were four specific and concrete suggestions for improvement given th hall bv President Hunt in his innugurnl address. They were in brief as fol lows: (1) The meetings of the society should be kept secret as provided by the constitution, which had not been strictly adhered to in the past, and that only such news be given out for publi cation as would meet with the approval of the society; (2) that the custom of (Continued on page three) Thi Alpha Delta, National Legal Fra ternity, held its fall Initiation Tuesday night, October 3. Two third year anl three second year men became mem bers, as follows: P. D. Herring, of Clin ton; Kelly Jenkins, of Roanoke Rapids; R. D. Parsons, Alabama; J. L. Holmes, Charlotte, and O. Downing, Charotte. The Ruffin chapter of Phi Alpha Delta was established at U. N. C. in 1921. THE RUSSIAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA TO BE HEARD HERE WEDNESDAY NIGHT Organization Is Composed of 42 Concert Artists Directed by Modest Altschuler. Booth Tarkington 's "Seventeen," a play of youth and puppy love, will be read this evening at 7:30 in tho audi- orium of Peabody Hall. Tryouts for parts take place Monday afternoon and evening, those for the six female parts t 4 o'clock and for the six malo parts t 7:30 o'clock, Rehearsals will begin immediately after the cast is chosen and continue until the presentation of the play on November 10 and 11. Tho production of the play is under the direction of Dougald McMillan, who is in charge of the Playmakcrs during the absence of Professor Koch. Parts in the play are open to every body. The Carolina Playmakers is a community organization and the entire student body and faculty of the Uni versity as well as the people of Chapel Hill are eligible for the casts of all productions presented. New men at the University who are interested in dramatics are especially urged to try out. Because of tho fact that first-year men may not register for English 31, some freshmen may have received the impression that they are not eligible to try out for tho Playmakers. This is not the case. So far as known this will be the first presentation of "Seventeen" by ama teurs. The Playmakers are enabled to do so through the personal friendship of Professor Koch for Stuart Walker, who dramatized the play from the nov el and owns the production rights. The comedy had an eminently successful run at the Booth Theater in New York City and played to continued large crowds If the Chapel Hill performances are a success the play will probably be pre sented in Durham the following week "Seventeen" is admirably adapted to presentation by amateurs. The play revolves around the inimitable William Sylvanus Baxter, a young gentleman of tender years who is continually in tho throes of that malady of adolescence commonly known as "puppy-love," and who has an inordinate longing for a dress suit in which to properly conduct his amours. The plot delineates tho course of his affair with Miss Lola Pratt, the visiting "baby-talk lady," and his final discovery of the cold, hard truth in the statement of his little sis ter, Jane, who is always carefully re minding him that he is not yet "grown up." PROGRAM TO BE POPULAR The Russian Symphony Orchestra has been secured by the Music Department for a concert in Memorial Hall next Wednesday night at 8:30. The securing of such a musical organization is in tho nature of a distinct triumph and marks a real step forward In the musical life of the college. This organization is composed of 42 concert artists of tho first rank and is directed by Modest Altschuler, who it generaly conceded to bo one of the world's greatest orchestral leaders. The musical organizations in this country which rank with the Russian Symphony are few, and there aro none which sur pass it. Press notices from tho most promi nent cities of the United States, where the orchestra has appeared, are unstint ed in their praise, and agree that, in the matter of solid musicianship and ensemble work, the organization is y6t to be surpassed. For the past two weeks the Orchestra has been appearing at the big Mude-in-Carolinas Exposition in Charlotte, and the newspapers thero are lavish in their commendation of the work they have done. Tho program will be distinctly popu lar in typo, and the admission will be one dollar. A small section of reserved scats will be on sale at Patterson's Drug Store, starting Saturday. An ex tra charge of 25 cents will be made for reservation. STUDENT TYPISTS WILL FIND WORK THROUGH T Public Stenographic Bureau Organized and Sponsored by Y. M. C. A. Sign Painting Done Also. WILLIAM STEELE TALKS IN CHAPEL LAST MONDAY William University Steele, an alumnus of the who, since his graduation in 1918, has traveled extensively in Asia Minor, made a short talk in chapel Monday morning. Since 1918 Mr. Steele has spent two years at Edin burgh, Scotland, where he has been preparing himself for tho Methodist ministry, After leaving Scotland, ho visited many of the Mediterranean lands, from Marseilles to Alexandria, thence he continued his journey to Cai ro. On his return trip he visited Da mascus and the Holy Lands, and after a short sojourn in Smyrna, returned to the United States. After spending a year at his home in Nashville, Tennes see, he expects to go to China, where he is to enter the Methodist mission ary service. During his travels Mr. Steele has had many interesting experiences. The latest self-help agency initiated by the Y. M. C. A. is the Public Steno graphic Bureau which is being organ ized this week, and will soon begin op erations on the top floor of the Y. M. C. A. building. All kinds of stenographic work will be dono, including copy work, themes, circular letters, mimeograph, and so forth. Expert typists and short-hand writers will handle this work. In addition, two sign painters of pro fessional ability will operato a sign painting department. They aro prepar ed to do all grades of sign painting and lettering from bill and bulletin board notices to high grade show win dow lettering and interior decorating. Both oil and water colors will be used. The Y. M. C. A. will continue to spon sor the new institution, but it will bo a complete organization in itself. In particular the Y. M. C. A. will be the medium between the public and the bureau, when all tho members of its staff are on class, or for any other rea son absent from the building. The bureau aims to assist self-help students who do stenographic work, and also to aid students who wish to have such work done quickly and well. PHARMACY SCHOOL HAS ENROLLMENT OF NINETY CALENDAR Saturday: Carolina vs. Yale at New Haven. Literary Societies meet, 7:30 p.m. Monday: Try-out for parts with Carolina Playmakers in Peabody Hall at 7:30 p. m. Freshman Debating Society meets in Di Hall at 7:30 p. m. Compulsory Chapel for Fresh men, Sophomores nnd Juniors at 11:10 a. m. in Memorial Hall. JUNIORCLASS PRESIDENCY NOW LOOKING FOR A MAN C. Y. Coley, of Rockingham, presi dent of this year's junior class and a prominent figure in campus activities, left the University last Wednesday, going to Yale where he will enter the law school. An election will be hell either Monday or Tuesday of next week for the purpose of electing a new class president for the juniors. At the same time a vice-president will also be elect ed, since Al Johnston, who was choseu for this office last spring, did not re turn to the University this fall. The engagement of Tony Sarg's Mar ionettes, booked to appear here on No vember 17, has been cancelled because of the cutting short of the southern tour of the company. The Playmakers hope to secure this production for a date later in the season. The Pharmacy school is keeping pace with the other departments of the Uni- versity in growth. Evidence of this is shown in the increased enrollment of the school and additions to faculty and laboratory apparatus. The enrollment to date is 90, which is greater by 18 than in any previous year. Although this may not seem a great gain when it is compared with the growth of previous years, which never exceeded six or eight,, it shows the growth of the department. ' The increased enrollment has neces sitated an addition to the faculty and an increase in equipment and appa ratus. E. B. Kyser, of Kocky Mount, has joined the faculty as an assistant teacher of pharmacy. Most noteworthy among the students is D. B. Kertiker, an East Indian from Bombay, India. Kertiker is a gradu ate of Columbia in pharmacy; he u taking graduate work here, and is as sistant to Dean Howell in laboratory work. This is the first time in the his tory of the University that an East Indian has been enrolled in the student body.
