i Support Your Y. M. C. A. Wax Shell Out For The "Y" Volume XXXI. Chapel Hill, N. C, Tuesday, October 24, 1922 Number 9 FIRST YEAR RESERVE IS TO BE BUILT UP IN THE FORENSIC ACTIVITIES HEBE Debate Council Inaugurates Plan Whereby Freshmen Will Be Given Incentive to Work. WILL IMPROVE DEBATING At a meeting of the debate council Saturday afternoon a program was adopted which is expected to place the debating and oratorical program of the University on a higher plane in the years to come. Two new freshmen con tests were outlined and plans were made for the carrying out of these pro rosed contests. One of these is a fresh man declamation contest to be conduct ed similar to the junior oratorical con test. There will be chosen two members from each society on a competitive bas is to contest for a $10 gold medal. This contest is expected to draw a large in terest from the men who have just come from the high schools and are fill ed with declamations. This contest will take place in the winter quarter. The other contest is a triangular freshman intercollegiate debate with probably Trinity and Wake Forest, if these colleges can be interested. This contest is to come off some time during the spring quarter. These contests will put the debating program of the University on the same basis as its athletic program that is, of having a reservoir of material from which to draw varsitv material. These contests will also help to put more in terest in forensic contests. The council also decided the wrangle on the Mary D. Wright debate. The Phi presented two queries to the Di from which the Di will choose a querv and Bide not later than today noon. At a later meeting of the debate council a set of regulations will be drawn up in written form to govern future con tests between the two societies. The intercollegiate program was also dis . cussed but. nothing definite was decided upon.

Engineer Society Is Organized For Year The "William Cain Student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engi neers held its first meeting of the year last Wednesday. This was strictly a business meeting, as an outline of tho year's work was discussed, and vari ous committees appointed. In preparation of this outline several members made short talks. G. M. Braune, professor of civil engineering, then explained the connection of the local society with the American Soci ety of Civil Engineers. He further ex plained the purpose of the organization to be the discussion of present-day en gineering problems, and to afford its members an opportunity to put their ideas before the society in a clear-cut and concise way. This gives a two-fold advantage in that the engineering student does not only exchange his ideas with the other members of the society, but is trained to express himself clearly and forcibly before any group. With twelve men taking part in the discussion, six on each side, the Dia lectic Society went on record as a "bone-dry" body by a closo vote after a heated argument lasting until late into the night. The query was: "Re solved That the Di Society go on rec ord as favpring the modification of the Volstead Act, so as to permit the use of light wines and beers." The following men took part in the discussion: Affirmative J. M. Brown, A. A. Feagan, Thomas Turner, H. C. Klingenschmitt, F. W. Hamrick and E. L. Justice; negative A. F. Raper, 0. X. Deaton, Earl Drake, S. M. Cathey, M. L. Shepherd and A. D. Walser. The chief contentious of the affirma tive were best expressed by the first two affirmative speakers, Mr. Brown aud Mr. Feagan, namely: (1) that the majority of the people of the country are not in favor of prohibition as shown by the recent Literary Digest polls, (2) that the law is not and never can be enforced. Mr. Hamrick took the rather unique position that although he was in favor of prohibition, yet he believed that the lawful use of light wines and beers would stop the use of bootleg whisky and other strong and poisonous drinks. On the other hand, Mr. Raper ex pressed the sentiments of the negative by stating that the Literary Digest polls were not indicative of the peo ple's will. Mr. Drake and Mr. Cathey summed up the argument of . the nega tive, however, by showing that modi fication was only a step toward repeal. The question of constitutionality was waived throughout the debate by a pre vious vote of -the hall. - - -r. Under business, a resolution was pass ed providing that initiations be held only on the last Saturday in every month, with the exception of the first four meetings of the year. The hail also voted to cease the payment to the Extension Division of the University for high school debaters medals. The following men were initiated in to the society: W. MeN. Carpenter, Greenville, S. C; L. A. Crowell, Lin- colnton; H. L. Thach, Auburn, Ala.; C. W. McAnolly, High Point; J. S. Smith, Jr., Asheville; Koy Armstrong, Spencer; Pierce Matthews, Asheville The Carolina varsity has survived one of the hardest tests that a football team can be given that of playing four gmacs in the short period of IJ days. None of the players received more than minor injuries and all are expected to be in good trim for the Maryland con test here Saturday, as they have an eight-day rest between the Fair Week game and the coming fray. While Carolina and State were recov ering from their terrific fight, several games that will have important bear ing on the South Atlantic chnmpion ship were played. Davidson surprised the entire South by holding the V. P. '. grid machine to a 7-7 tie. The Wild cats claim the distinction of never hav ing lost a football game on their home ground. This fine record was almost broken Saturday, but a 75-yard dash by Laird, a Davidson substitute, tied matters up. V. M. I. secured revenge for the de feat received at the hands of Virginia last year by defeating the Old Domin ion on Lambeth Field 14 to 0. White, the Cadets' fullback, was the big noise, although the opposing guard captains, Hall of Virginia and Harrison of V. M. I. played splendidly on the defense. Maryland lost to Princeton 26 to 0.

The Black and Gold defenso is strong, as it usually is. Captain Nesbit, a Char lotte boy, is perhaps the best player iu the Maryland line. Braner at right end and Bailey at center have demon strated their high ability many times. "Untz" Brewer, Maryland's famous punter of last year, has graduated and his wonderful kicking is greatly miss ed. Coach Byrd has a fast quartet in the backfield, composed of Groves, Pugh, Sender and MeQuado. Sender is considered one of the best broken field runners in this section, and it was his briliant end runs that defeated the Tar Heels here in 1920. Carolina has bettered last year's rec ord in every game so far.

The Carolina Alembic Club of the chemistry department of the University was organized last Friday afternoon. The club was formerly known as the Journal Club, but was reorganized this year under the new name. W. B. Smoot is the new president, Lawrence Phillips secretary, and Miss Lillie Cutler, re porter. The purpose of the club is to discuss chemical problems and have technical articles presented by various members for consideration. Any student of the University who has had at least one year of chemistry is eligible to attend the meetings, whether he or she be a chemical engineering student or not. The meetings will be held every Fri day afternoon at 4:30 in the Chemistry Hall. Twenty students were present at the initial meeting. The Durham-Kaleigh district of the North Carolina Library Association held its regular fall meeting here today. In this district there are 45 librarians and about 35 of these were present to day for the purpose of becoming more intimately acquainted with each other personally and to discuss general li brary work. Among the speakers on this occasion were A. C. Hibbard, of the English de partment of the University, who spoke on "The Literature of the South;" A. F. Griggs, on "The 25th Anniver sary of the Durham Library," and Mrs. Charlotte Williamson, librnrian of the State College, who spoke on "The Lack of Reading Among Students." Other speakers were: Miss Forgues, of Raleigh; J. P. Breedlove, Miss Mary B. Palmer, secretary of the association, and Dr. L. R. Wilson, University li brarian. (Continued on page two) MEYER TO DISCUSS BOYS' WORK IN "Y" Professor H. D. Meyer, of the de partment of sociology, will lead a dis cussion group on boys' work every Fri day night at 7 'clock in the "Re treat ' ' at the Y. M. C. A.'

Phi Has Short But Interesting Meeting The meeting of the Phi Assembly on last Saturday night was a short but impressive one. According to an an nouncement of Speaker Young, the meetings throughout his term of offic? will be short, but filled with progressive action. In order to have the maximum amount of time for the discussion of bills and resolutions, the business was dispensed with first, instead of last, as was the custom. The meeting opened with the initiation of four new men, after which the assembly was thrown open to reports from standing commit tees. Ti e constitutional committee, which was appointed to present and consider advisable amendments to the constitu tion and thus place the meetings on a more efficient plan, gave its report on a few constructive changes, which were passed unanimously. The committee appointed to present a subject for the annual freshman intra-seoiety debate announced the query decided upon as: "Resolved That the recent Soldiers' Bonus Bill as presented by Congress should be adopted." Tn conjunction with this announce ment was one made by the debate coun cil to the effect that plans are being put under way for the staging of an annual freshman inter - collegiate de bate, the triangle to be formed by Trinity, Wake Forest and Carolina. According to the debate council plans are also being developed to have an annual freshman declamation contest for the two societies. This enlarged pro gram is being instigated in the hope of creating a greater interest in literary society work among the new men. Following the business were two in structive and helpful talks by H. D. Meyer, of the sociology department, and G. M. McKie, professor of public speaking. A motion was then presented and unanimously passed to appoint a com mittee to draw up and present some expression of the Assembly's sympathy to Dr. Horace Williams in regard to his recent bereavement in the death of his wife. The following resolution was read and discussed, after which the society adjourned until its next meeting: "Be it resolved, that the Phi Assembly go on record as favoring that the student body be limited to a specified number of men for the reason that only a cer tain number can be adequately and pro perly cared for, since there is limited (Continued on page two.) ""-Bewitching witches, ghosts "and "gob lins, alias Carolina co-eds, will haunt the campus next Saturday night, pro ceeding from the Cave of the River Styx (alias the Y. M. C. A. building), which will be the center of activities for Hallowe'en celebrations. Weird forms will be seen to stir the boiling cauldron over the huge bonfire in front of the "cave," while on the inside soothsayer-ettes and palmists will un fold to the amazed freshman or senior, as the case may be, his destiny in this world and in the world-to-come. Miss Elizabeth Branson, chairman of the Hallowe 'en Committee of the U. N. C. Women's Association, has anounced that the admission to the "cave" will be free, and that the performance in side will take the form of the annual carnival which is has been the custom l'or the woman's association to hold at this season every year. Upperclassmen will remember the huge success of the carnival last vear and will turn out in large numbers, while the freshmen are earnestly requested by the our fair fellow-students to come out and give it the "once-over." Miss Branson also announces that the admission to the various side shows will he very reasonable so that all students can afford to patronize several of them. Coach Alexander's first-year reserves held the Maryland University fresh men to a 6-6 tie in the oponing game of the season at Washington, D. C, Saturday afternoon. The freshmen trailed Maryland the greater part of tlie game, but in the last quarter a savage offense was launched which pro duced the touchdown necessary for a tie. A forward pass Dcviu to Under wood finally put the ball over. The entire team showed up well. But the playing of Jones and Epstein at ends, Griffin's ability to circle end for consistent gains during the wholo game and the forward passing combination Devin to Underwood deserve especial mention.

Her re turn will be through Europe, visiting especially France, Germany, The Neth erlands and England,possibly Italy and Switzerland. Upon returning to the States Miss Henderson expects to again take up her studies at the University. The Student Volunteer Band gave a delightful entertainment in honor of the seven foreign students of the Uni versity in the social rooms of the Pres byterian church last Friday night. The program consisted of numerous games, songs and talks. Dean F. F. Bradshaw gave an inter esting talk on "A State University and Foreign Students," in which he ex tended a hearty welcome to the foreign students on behalf of the University. Miss Pritchnrd, traveling secretary for the Student Volunteer Movement, toll of the numerous opportunities in the foreign field for college men. J. A. Bradley,, of the junior class, clairman of the committee, attempted to correct the foreigners' false impression of Americanism which holds money as the deity. The entertainment part of the pro gram was in charge of Miss Mattic Smith and Miss Sanders, of the senior class, and was voted a huge success. Hot chocolate and cakes were served. The following are the names of the foreign students present, with their home addresses: Miss Edith Moose, Chulwon, Korea, Asia; Miss Kiku Mao shima, Tokio, Japan; D. B. Kirtiker, Bombay, India; Urbano Soler, Santi ago de Cuba; C. C. Hsiung, Nan Chang, China; iMaximo Soler, Santiago de Cuba; Yutaka Maechima, Tokio, Japan. With plenty of pop, vigor and vim, the University Y. M. C. A. gave its an imal campaign among the students and faculty a rousing send-off at a supper held in the social rooms of the Pres byterian church last night, with 115 men present. President W, C.

Patterson of the School of Applied Science, wore the principal faculty speakers at the supper, while Alan McGce and C. C. Poindexter voic ed tho student sentiment regarding tho "Y, " her demands, and her right to make such demands. Tho campaign began at the conclu sion of the program and although re turns aro not yet available, all indica tions are that tho drive will go "over the top" in great shape. Manager G. Y. Ragsdalo of the finan cial campaign opened the drive by a contribution of $15, and other members of the canvassing committee followed suit with thoir subscriptions. Ragsdale states that tho campaign will not offi cially end until the " Y" has a card giving the pledge of every student, his cash or his reason for not subscribing, and states his belief that no man can give a satisfactory reason for neithor signing the pledge card for some amount nor paying cash. He adds, however, that all reports are expected to be in by 6 o'clock Wednesday after noon, at which time the committee will have a closing supper. President C. C. Poindexter presided at the supper and presented "Parson" Mxims ..of -the--Prnabyterian,filiui,oh, to represent the board of trustees of the "Y, " as the board's chairman.

Comer, "Tho Expansion Idea." The campaign committee is elaborate ly organized. G. Y. Ragsdalo is gen eral manager of the campaign and 15 captains have been chosen to head vari ous canvassing eomniitces, among whom t lie campus and town are divided. John Hutchins Pays Visit To Carolina John Hutchins, star end and fullback on Conch Fuller's 1920 team at the Uni versity, was hero Sunday visiting friends. He is playing fullback on the Carson-Newman University team this year, and is mnking a wonderful rec ord in Tennessee football circles. Carson-Newman is coached by Tom Moran, whose father is the famous Cen ter College coach. Although a compar atively small school, Carson-Newman has a strong team, holding Washington anil Lee to 13 and 7 this fall. Hutching made both the touchdown and extra point in that game, and scored fiv9 touchdowns against Athens College. Saturday being an open date on the Carson-Newman schedule, "Johnnie" ran over from Jefferson City, Tenn., for a day or so. The Carson-Newman elev en, of which nine are freshmen, plays Camp Benning Saturday. Out in Ten nessee they think that Tom Moran will eventualy build up a team that will equal the great Centre machine. One thing is certain, he has a capable full back to begin building with.
