Friday, September 28, 1923 THE TAR HEEL Page Three ONE TAR HEEL REPORTER TOOK FRESHMAN TEST Reporter, in Search of News, Wanders on One of the Psychology Tests. FROSHIES SCARED. C-27-33 - serial numbsr of the Freshman Psychology test is remem bered by all Frosh and one Tar Heel reporter, who sauntered off towards Chemistry Hall Thursday night about 7:30 to find out what he didn't know. Acting quite naturally, the greenest of the green, he bumped into two Frosh on the way down. Replies to his numerous questions informed him that there were to be classes in three halls: Chemistry Hall, where they taught Chemistry; Murphy Hall which locked like the stadium, and Phillips Hall had a gallery. Upon entering the hall, two co-eds were found monkeying with the switch, endeavoring to turn on the lights. Right there Mr. Frosh show ed bis manhood by crowding around the fair ones to offer matches and handkerchiefs. Then some on in the rear yelled "lights," another, "dark", while a whole chorus chimed in with "no test." Finally by so much shoving from the rear the crowd, including the re porter, was pushed into the hall. Lights flashed on and the hall rapid ly filled to capacity. The reporter found a nice seat right near the front and laid his report pad, which hap pened to be an old French quiz book, on the desk. A short nerve-racking space fol lowed, in which some one whistled, "Yes, We Have No Bananas"; others who had evidently visited the Pick, beat the Devil's tattoo and cried for music. Still others proposed that they organize against the Sophs. About this time a tall guy whom someone said was a Doctor opened up by baating on the table. Then pamphlets were passed around with the warning that they weren't to be opened until a given signal, as part of the test was to find out if they were capable of following instruc tions. At the given signal all opened up and started writing against time the reporter along with the crowd. The first of the ten separate tests was very simple as, "write the letter which is the third letter to the right of the letter which is midway ! be tween M and O." There were only 19 other, questions in the first test, the others being slightly varied. When all had passed the ordeal, the Doctor man told them they might organize since it was apt ' to snow this winter, but that when they passed out they were to leave the pencils and pamphlets with his as sociate, who was standing at the door to keep the timid ones from playing hookey. The organizing scheme, however, fell flat. No one knew what to do and all were desir ous of leaving. But the episode didn't close at this juncture, for one fellow sudden ly becoming frantic, pitched his pamphlet out the window arid hastily followed it out via the same route. Pi Beta Phi Sorority Installation Here The local sorority that was recent ly granted a charter in Pi Beta Phi is being installed as a Chapter in the national organization this week end. The initiation ceremonies are in progress at the home of Dr. Caldwell next to the Episcopal ;churcti.

Following a banquet tonight comes a ; dance and tomorrow night the patronesses are to give the in- itiates and visitors a reception at Mrs. Venable's NEW EAST WILL BE REMODELED The east end of New East is being given completely over to the Geology Department. Formerly some of these rooms were used by students as living quarters, but the expansion of the department has caused a great necessity for more room. Dr. Joel H. Swartz has been added to the staff of instruction. Dr. Swartz is from John Hopkins, where he obtained his doctor's degree, and has been with the Tennessee Geolog ical Survey for the past summer. Dr. W. F. Prouty of the same de partment was with the West Virginia Geological Survey this summer. 1 Robert L "Bob" Thompson, of New York City, foi merly a member of the I local literati, is now editor, of. the, Fay fetteville Observer. ,,' ' ..... .

The work will be on a compulsory basis, and every first year man must, if not excused for some reason, take the workouts. The men will be divided into shifts, and each shift will have certain hours in which to work. In this way all the men can be handled. Heretofore, freshmen have evaded the ruling that all first-year men nust have regular workouts in the gymnasium; but the gym officials are going to make it' difficult this year for anyone to evade the ruling, for the present plan makes it easy to check up on all absences. Absences will be reported to the Registrar's office and if the student ' grows too delinquent he will be put on proba tion; further absences after - he is put on probation will, of course, ne cessitate his being, dropped from the University roll. Every freshman is supposed to report to the Gymna sium unless he is excused on account of self-help work, physical defects or has some other valid reason. THREE CARRB0R0 WOMEN OUSTED FROM CHURCH University Laundry v Has Big Business The University Laundry did a record business the first three days of . this week, and yet only half of the student body was served, says Mr. Paulsen, the genial manager. He says the employees will work nights for a time until the work and general routine become thoroughly established. Every effort will be made to equal the service of the past year, but the increase, in the student body plus the steady growth of town work is taxing the laundry to its full est capacity. However, there is consolation in Mr. Paulsen's assurance that every laundry package will be delivered to each student in due time provided that the name and address are cor rect and the pieces enumerated on the laundry list. Two large partitions have ' been completely torn out of the laundry in order to give more air, light, and room to the employees. Mr. Paulsen requests every student to read and abide by the laundry notice on the last page of the Tar Heel. The Student Council suspended, five men. f or ;.the. quarter-and put two on strict probation for hazing. Baptist Preacher Has Women Who Go Swimming Expell ed from Congregation. WAS FACULTY MEMBER The vicinity of Carrboro was thrown in a state of amazement last week when three women of Carr boro wee ousted from the Baptist church on the charge of going in a swimming pool in which there were men. The alleged charge and ex pulsion were preferred under the leadership of Reverend J. B. Davis, pastor of the Baptist church of Carr boro and a former member of the University faculty. The Carrboro community was greatly stirred by the action of the Reverend Davis, who was eb'.e to convince the deacons that the ladies in question deserved to bs cast from the Baptist fold. - The puritanic pastor could bring no other charge against the women except that they were not properly observing the Sabbath and they were committing sinful acts by bathing in a pool in which there were men. Prior to this episode Reverend Davis has delivered several fiery sermons on the sinfulness of the modern ob servation of the Sabbath. He has condemned many forms of modern amusement and has harshly denoun ced the playing of "Rook" and other similar games according to reports. After Reverend Davis had con vinced his deacons that the ladies were no longer fit to remain in his church it seems that a little com plication has set in. Now the ladies are about to prove that the good pastor's charges were hypocritical and that he himself was seen in a pool in which there were also several women at Lake View several weeks ago. They are now wondering if the pastors' experience on this oc casion was not the reason why he has condemned the joint and simul taneous use of a swimming pool by both sexas. At this time it is impossible to say whether or not this recent re velation by the ladies will have some bearing toward having them rein stated in the church.

The most noticeable improvement is the dupli cate serving counter that has been installed, so as to serve the same food on opposite sides of the roosi. This permits the forming of" , two lines, one on each side of the room, thus cutting the length of the line in 3 zr.l hr.'ving the time required to get through the line. There are two cashiers, one for each line, so that no unnecessary time is consum ed in getting out of the line, ting out of the line. With the new counter and the new machinery for mixing foods in the kitchen and the new ventilation fans the service will be much quicker and more satisfactory. If the necessity for more space arises there can be put in at least twenty more tables. Plans are being made to have white glass tops on all of-the tables in the near future. On the right at the entrance will be placed a row of shelves for the hats so that they will no longer have to be throw i on a table or a chair. . . , -.ti 1 1 . i i I. -JZ:'- ' The recently begun coaching school is apt to become of tremendous im portance in the University's athletic development. Besides the large amount of raw material to choose from, probably the greatest reason for northern universities' superiority in athletics is that the majoritiy of their men come from large prep schools and have been coached by highly paid instructors who have drilled into them the advanced meth ods which the larger universities use. After the next few years, North Carolina will begin to get high school athletes who have had two or three years training by collegiate methods in football,' basketball and track. Last year, , sixteen men took the course in coaching here. ,The enroll ment of the second annual coaching school with the men's colleges and coaching addresses are as follows: It is estimated that at least 98 per cent of our freshest, meaning to say our newest, freshman class is already upporting its trousers with shiny new Carolina belts.
