AND ASHEVILLE
ARE BOTH WELL
BEATEN BYFRESH TEAM
Week-End Trip to Mountains Is
Highly Successful tor Uoacn
Alexander's Proteges,
FRESH, 6r OPPONENTS, o
After having made a remarkable
showing on their western trip by de
feating the Asheville School 32 to 0
Friday afternoon at Sulphnr Springs
and administering a 29 to 0 defeat to
Bingham a day later at Asheville, Coach
Alexander's freshmen are back on the
Hill. The team showed remarkable im
provement over last week's play. Both
elevens were doped to win from the
Carolina yearlings, or at least hold
them to a low score, but the first year
men " showed their worth and romped
through the western teams with ease.
The Asheville School gang started
off like wildfire but the freshman de
fense stiffened and hurled them back
Never again did they-show any real
punch, and before the final whistle five
touchdowns had been pushed across by
Alexander's charges. They were abl?
to gain around end, through the line
nud bv the overhead route, in facr,
almost at will.
Bill Devin and Griffin were the out
standing players of the game. The way
they ran through the Sulphnr Springs
eleven showed that thev will be heard
from later.
Then the scene of action was shifted
to Asheville Saturday where the muc'i
heralded Bingham aggregation was tak
en into camp by the decisive score of
29 to 0. The freshmen played good
football and were lucky, being able to
take advantage of several breaks.
The brightest spot of this contest
was Griffin's 85-yard run for touch
down from the kick-off early in the sec
ond period, but the entire Carolina
Tinekfield showed up well. For Bing
ham the playing of Walters and Kuk
patrick in the backfield was the most
outstanding.

NEW REPUBLIC CARRIES
ARTICLE BY DR. CHASE
President Contributes .to Supplement
, . Dealing With American Colleges
Only Southern Contributor.
"The Problem of Higher Education"
is the title of an article written by
President H. W. Chase in the American
College,' a supplement of the New Re
public for October 25. Presidents and
professors of 10 colleges were invited
to contribute. North Carolina was the
only Southern college in the list, which
contained such names as Harvard, Co
lumbia, Illinois, Michigan and Wiscon
sin.
President Chase, in his article, takes
the position that the Liberal Arts Col
lege presents the biggest problem of
the American college today, because it
lacks a clearly defined purpose, has lost
all unity in the complex maze of new
departments and subjects, and in this
strange new world of ours still attempts
to cling to many of the outworn edu
cational standards of a past genera
tion. .
"The current conceptions of cul
ture," he writes, "have developed in
the American -college a curious contra
diction. There is, on the one hand, the
tendency to confuse culture, winch can
be nothing else than an attitude to
wards life, with a fxed and permanent
body of knowledge. Culture means the
acquisition of insight, appreciation, un
derstanding; the content of the learn
ing which creates these qualities must
inevitably change with the sort of life
that is to be understood and appreci
ated."
"The Liberal Arts College," con
cludes President Chase, "must abandon
its timidity and irresolution as an in
terpreter of the complex life. of today.
It must frankly cast aside the doctrine
that any subject should be included in
its fundamentals for purposes of men
tal training alone. It must take this
life (of today) as its starting point,
do its best to determine .what, funda
mental knowledge is necessary fVr its
apprehension, what attitudes toward it
must be developed."

"E" Licks "B" Id
Push Ball Contest
In spite of the valiant efforts of lit
tle Charlie Norfleet, the occupants of
"B" dormitory were unable to stave
off a 3 to 0 defeat at the hands of their
neighbors from "E" in the initial
game of pushball, played on Emerson
Feld Friday night. With the rays of
n large searchlight playing ou the field,
the fighting crew from Ruffin three
times marched resistlessly down the
field and shoved the ..elephantine ball
across the goal line defended by the
gentlemen from Grimes.
All of the scoring was done in the
first half of the game when "E" some
what" outnumbered "B." Sheer beef
counts for a great deal in this gamo
and "B" was helpless. At the begin
ging of the Recond half, however, a
number of "B" boosters, having su
preme faith in Mr. Paulsen's establish
ment, cast prohibited leather shoes
aside and rushed stocking-footed into
the gray. Thus reinforced, "B" kept
the ball deep in "E" territory for the
remainder of the gamo and narrowly
missed pushing it over for a goal.
Pushball is an innovation on the Car
olina campus and was received with
considerable enthusiasm by spectators
as well as players. The game is quite
popular farther north, and was in great
vogue in army and navy training sta
tions during the war. There is no lim
it to the number of players who mav
participate and the rales are few and

Grail Gives Dance
In Bynum Gym
The Oder of the Grail gave a dance
at the Gymnasium Friday night. Tar
Baby Six furnished the music, and -is
usual, was a main factor in the suc
cess of the dance. Despite the large
number of dances given and scheduled,
the Grail had a large group of social
Carolina present.' ' . '
The dance, it seems, ended much too
early, and after "Home, Sweet Home"
the dancers gave the orchestra quite an
ovation, all to no avail. Quite a few
co-eds were present and because they
danced- so well or were so far out
numbered by the Valentinos they were
quite the "berries."
The Grail is an order intendeding to
bring fratetrnity and non-fraternity
men into closer relation and friend
ship.' The attendance was very evenly
divided between the two.
The co-operative system, under which
all juniors in the engineering schools
supplement their work in the Univer
sity with practical work out in the
state, wont into effect last week. Un
der this system men of similar capa
bilities are paired off and given a job
with some industrial firm, one of the
men holding this job for one month
while the other is in school, and at the
end of the month they exchange places
one man always in school and one
on the job. '
This system was first inaugurated by
Herman Schneider and was known as
the Cincinnati plan, which plans gives
five years of alternating work instead
of one. The plan has proven a great
success, and has been modified and
adopted by most of the leading tech
nical schools of the United States. Even
foreign countries have sent commissions
to study this plan of co-operation bo
tween technical schools and industrial
firms. "
This whole scheme of co-operation
hinges upon the significant fact that
an engineer must have in addition to
his theoretical knowledge some practi
cal experience in order to enable him to
see how his theories work. The plan
as adopted by the Department of En
gineering of the University affords this
opportunity to alternate theory and
practice.
As to the placing of the men, the
Civil Engineering Department has made
the following placements: A. S. Chase
to alternate with L. I. Lassiter on a
position given by. the State Board of
Health; T. C. Ray and G. B. Wynne
in the bridge department of the State
Highway Commission'; Dwight' Plyler
and J. N." Gilbert also with the High
way Commission; L. B. Aull and J. 0.
Ward will alternate as research fel
lows in the State Highway Laboratory.
A complete list of the placements of
the Electrical Engineering School is
not yet available, but will be made pub
lie soon. -
SCARCELY RAISING A SWEAT
CAROLINA BEATS MARYLAND
THE SCORE BEING 27 TO 3
To say that the Hallowe'en Carnival
of the U. N. C. Woman's Association
last Saturday night was a howling suc
cess would be putting it mildly. The
co-eds scored as many touchdowns that
night as the team did against Mary
land in the afternoon. The weird for
tune telling dens, snappy side shows
and clever trial games would rival
those held in Raleigh during Fair Week,
and in many respects surpass them.
One of the features of the evening
was the "lucky number" trial for a
huge iced cake. "Twenty -jour turned
out to be the lucky number, and Rex
Willis happened to be the envied pos
sessor of that number, although not a
member of that class. Tickets with
trial number were sold at ten cents
each and many students bought several
numbers, all to no avail.' '
It was the rather clever idea of the
committee to sell tickets at the entrance
of the hall for 25 cents to all the shows
except the fortune telling dens.
The shows on the first floor included
"Mack Sennett's Bathing Beauties"
and "Ziegfeld Follies," the "Menag
erie" and a show "For Freshmen
Only." In addition, there was a show
whoso title was, "Knock down your
favorite prof, and get a kiss from his
daughter." Upon examination, the stu
dent found out that this meant to knock
down dummy figures labelled "Chem
istry, " "History," "French," etc.,
and for each such figure knocked down,
the expectant participant would receiv?
a candy "kiss!' from the daughter of
a certain professor.
Venturing upstairs, one heard the
"Crazyola Victrola" and witnessed the
"Goop Dance." Besides this, there
were throe fortune telling dens, and
the queer thing about this was that
the fair palmists really did know some
thing about palm reading, although
many students were .mortally disap
pointed when told that they would
never marry, and resolved to hang
themselves on Davie Poplar that night
or drown themselves in the gym pool,
if possible.
Ice cream, cakes and candy were sold
throughout the evening, and many a
happy hour and coin fled before the be
wildered student realized it.
C. E. -SOCIETY HAS A
MEETING OF INTEREST
Gilbert, Foushee and Martin Are Speak
ers at the Regular Thursday
Night Meeting.
The program of the Civil Engineer
ing Society last Thursday was one of
much interest. The meeting was fea
tured by talks by J. N. Gilbert, J. M.
Foushoe and O. E.. Martin.
Gilbert gave an interesting talk on
making a contour map of a plot of
ground in Statesville, N. C. - His ex
planation of the map proved it to be
a moritorions piece of work.
Next on the program was an inter
esting talk by John Foushee, who re
lated the outcome of the Blue Ridgo
Conference last summer, and its signifi
cance. Foushee deemed the conference
to have been a great success and ad
vised the entire society to attend next
year.
Following Foushee 's talk, O. E. Mar
tin, president of the society, in a. witty
manner related a few incidents that
took place while working in Western
Carolina laHt summer. After these
amusing happenings were related, Mar
tin uncovered his real issue and dis
cussed very forcibly the idea that an
engineer must not only have a techni
cal training but also a knowledge of
tho cultural arts and the administra
tion of business.
MARY D. WRIGHT CONTEST
WILL BE HELD ON DEC. 7
The Query Was: "Resolved That the
Railway Labor Board Be Given the
Right to Enforce Its Decisions."
The query for the Mary D. Wright
Memorial debate, "Resolved That the
Railway Labor Board be given the
right to enforce its decisions," has been
anouiiced by George W. 'McCoy, secre
tary of the Debate Council. Tho Di
society has chosen the negative side of
the question, and the Phi will defend
the afiirmative. The date of the pre
liminaries has not yet been set, but will
be fixed by the participants not more
than three weeks before the finals,
which will be held December 7 at 8
p. m. in Gerrard Hall.
The Mary D. Wright debate is an
annual contest, held between the two
societies each year for the purpose of
determining the winner of a $25 gold
medal which is awarded to the best
speaker of the winning team. Any
member of tho two societies, irrespec
tive of class affiliation, is eligible for
the debate. There is a large supply
of information in the form of debaters
handbooks, periodicals, newspapers, and
clippings, so those going out for the
debate' will find no difficulty in getting
material.
FIRST OF MONTHLY
CONCERTS SUNDAY
The monthly Sunday concerts of last
year will be continued this year and
the first of the series will take place
next Sunday evening. The program for
the first recital has not been complete
ly made out, but it is understood that
the orchestra and glee club will make
its first appearance on that date.
The concerts will be held the first
Sunday in each month as heretofore.
In addition to the local talent, several
noted artists will be scheduled on the
programs.
Charlio Holshouser, of Salisbury, was
initiated into Pi Kappa Phi fraternity
Thursday night.

SECOND. STRING GOES IN
BLIND VIOLINIST PLAYS
TO APPRECIATIVE CROWD
Peter Van Der Meer,' Second Cousin of
Ysaye, Found by Weaver Playing
on Raleigh Streets.
The student body of the- University
was held throughout the entire chapel
period Friday by tho extraordinary
playing of Peter van dor Meer, violin
ist of great repute and second cousin
of Ysaye, one of the world's greatest
violinists, whose services Mr. Weaver
was so fortunate as to obtain 'for the
students while in Raleigh.
He was playing on tho streets in Ral
eigh when Mr. Weaver, attracted by
his playing, found him and asked him
to play here. As a result of this he
made engagement to play at St. Mary's
and Meredith. He was rewarded for
his services at the University by a
collection taken at the door, which net
ted him $4fi.04.
Van der Meer is of Dutch-Belgian de
scent and has been in America for
about 14 years, during which time h
has played several seasons in Sousa's
Band and on Chautauqua circuits, win
ning much fame as a musician. His
success, however, was short lived, and
a spell of ill-health lasting for six years
deprived him of his eye-sight and ex
hausted his funds. He is now trying
to obtain the funds to carry him to At
lanta where he has many friends and is
known professionally.
STUDENT DIRECTORY IS
BEING PREPARED BY "Y"
The proof -sheet s for tho student di
rectory, which for the past week have
been posted in the " Y" lobby for veri
fication, were taken down yesterday so
as to be prepared for the printer Sec
retary Comer says that the publishers
are attempting to return the finished
product before the second week in No
vember. In addition to the customary
name, class, and address of the student,
the directory this year also has each
student's church affiliation. Everyone
is hoping for an early arrival and dis
tribution of this much-needed book of
information. '
Track Program Is
Outlined By Fetzer
At a meeting of the track squad
Thursday night Coach Bob Fetzer out
lined the track program for the fall
quarter and annuonced the date for
the various running events.
The first contest will be in the na
ture of a free-for-all cross-country run
that will be staged November 8 at 4:30
p. m. Entries will bo unlimited, and
every man in the University is eligi
ble to take part in this event. Coach
Bob urged the freshmen especially to
come out.
Next the inter-class meet will come
off November 16. A cup will be given
to the winning class team. . Nothing
definite has been arranged concerning
the requirements for permanent pos
session of the cup.
The second annual inter-collegiate
cross-country run will bo held here
December 9. Every college in the state
is expecting to send a team to com
pete for honors. Tho .first contest
was won by the Carolina team last fall.
A committee consisting of M. D. Ran
son, T. D. Wells, and II. S. Lawrence
was named to help Coach Fetzer get
in touch with freshmen track possibilities.
Zeta Psi Dance Is
Very Well Attended
The Zeta Psi fraternity entcrtainod
with a formal dance in their hall Sat
urday night. An estimate of the num
ber of visiting girls in attendance is
given at approximately 33,' the major
ity being from Raleigh.
The Zeta Psi's have the best dance
hall on the Hill. Tho Tar Baby Six
again added to their reputation as the
best college orchestra in the South. Th.
girls were mostly of North Carolina's
charming belles, but several attended
from Virginia. Punch, a la Volstead,
was served, and although there was 11
moving mass of dancers everyone seem
ed to enjoy the occasion.
Dancing lasted from 9 to 12. The
chaperons were Dr. and Mrs. T. J. Wil
son, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Motherly, Mr.
and Mrs. Charles T.- Woolen, Dr. and
Mrs. Charles S. Mangum, Mrs. J. S.
Manning, Raleigh, and Dr. and Mrs.
A. H. Patterson.
Especially was this dance enjoyed
because of the orchestra, because the
music was the latest and played, su
perbly with lots of "pep."
COMER MAKES A TALK
ON THE KU KLUX KLAN
The second of the weekly series of
character talks was staged at the " Y"
social room last Thursday night at 7:3.0.
The speaker of the evening was Secre
tary H. F. Comer, who made a very in
teresting and instructive talk on the
Kn Klux Klan. These talks will be
held every Thursday night at the sani"
hour and will never last over 30 min
utes. Only those speakers who have
something of not only interesting, but
instructive information and advice are
scheduled on these programs.
"Y" PARTLY SERVES AS
CAMPUS POST-OFFICE
The "Y" is already partly following
nit Postmaster Stroud 's probablo plan
by placing stamps on sale and collect
ing letters for mailing in a box which
is now situated' in the lobby of the
"Y" building. Mail will be collected
three times per day 30 minutes before
mail gathering time. The schedule 0"
mail gathering will be as follows: 12
a. m., 3 p. m., and 6 p. m.
Scrubs Outplay Visitors During
Last Quarter But Are Un
able to Score.
Carrying tho ball with deadly con
sistency Carolina ran the Maryland
team off its feet on Emerson Field Sat
urday afternoon, defeating Coach
Byrd's outfit 27 to 3. "Red" John
ston's 78-yard dash for a touchdown
early in tho third quarter was the most
spectacular play of the aftornoon. Aft
er running the score up to 27 points in
the third quarter, Conch Fetzor sent in
an entirely now team, which outplayed
the visitors although failing to score.
A forward pass McDonald to John
ston and several line plunges carried
the ball to Maryland's nino yard line
where Fred Morris carried the oval
across on three line bucks over right
guard. After an exchange of punts, a
forward pass of 17 yards McDonald to
Johnston, and the latter 's 16-yard
plunge through the line placed the ball
four yards from tho goal lino. A for
ward pass McDonald to Casey Morris
behind the line notted Carolina's' sec
ong touchdown. Blount kicked the goal
but the roforee rulod that Carolina was
holding, thus losing the point.
Tho ball see-sawed back and forth .
during the second quarter with noithor
team making much progress. Although
the playing was in Maryland's torn

White could not push another touch
down over. Blount intercepted a Mary
land pass and a forward pass McDonald
to R. Morris gainod 20 yards, but tho
timekeeper' whistle ended the drive.
Johnston and Fred Morris went back
in' at tho opening of tho second half,
and tho red-thatched back immediate

and on tho third down gained fiveyarda

Sender, and after failing to gain over
seven yards in three attempts, Groves
punted to McDonald who returned 10
yards to Carolina's 22-yatd line. John
ston received a lateral pass and swept
around Maryland's left end for JH
yards and a touchdown.' It was 0110 of
the most brilliant exhibition of broken
field running over seen on Emerson
Field, and is all tho more creditable
for tho last 60 yards he had 011 inter

Glee Club Squad Is
Reduced In Number
There are now only 55 men on tho
Oleo Club squad as a result of a solec-'
tion of the best men from a former
squad of 75 men. From these 55 men
22 wil be solectod as members of tho
Glee Club on November (1. According
to Mr. Hamilton, of the music depart
ment, all the material is very promising
and it is expected that the club this
year will be one of the best in years,
not only in quantity but in quality.
Practice is held every Monday and
Wednesday in the Old East music room.
The old men" of last year's club, wha
will act as a nucleus about which tj
form a new and better club, are as fol
lows: Henry Wheeler, C. X, Siewers.
J. E. Baker, Geo. M. Murphy, John
Mcndenha'll, I. B. Kendriek, and Tho.

When the necessary musical instru
ments arrive the Carolina band will
have aproxiinately 40 men in its ranks.
The' instruments which were ordered
last month have not arrived yet, but
an attempt is being made to trace up
tho order, so it is expected ' that the
loiig-looked for instruments will arrive
at an early date. Band practice is held
every Monday and Thursday night
from 8:30 to 9:30. The following men
are members of tho band: M. K. Ilearne,
