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.
National officers are in attendance
and are being entertained in the dif
ferent homes of ' the ; patronesses
around town. Women" from other
chapters! are also' visitors at; the in
stallation exercises.
The formal initiation takes place
today. 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.

just incorporated itsalf, and it is
now published by the Carolina Boll
Weevil, Inc. This corporation is
composed of those who are or who
have been students cf the Univer
sity of North Carolina. The publi
cation is a humorous one on the type
of other college comics, although it is
soon to bs one of the leading ones in
the country, either North or South.
On account of this change in
the organization there will also
hs further improvements due to
the added interest and closer cooper
ation. While pot being an official
publication of the University, it still
remains a comic, because cf the fact
that only college men are connected
with it.
From now on the Boll Weevil will
ba published a.nd managed on practi
cally the same plan as the Harvard
Lcmpoon, the,. Yale Record, and the
Cornell Widow,, all of which are in
corporated. .The Boll Weevil will be
published by; Students and aumni of
the University of North Carolina. This
magazine will be published in Chapel
Hill, N. C, where all offices, both
managerial and editorial, are situa
ted. At least five thousand copies of
every issue are to bs printed. The
Carolina Boll Weevil will be on sale
in twelve Southern States on railway
trains, at railroad stations, and at all
reliable newsstands. The states
they will be sold in are, North Caro
lina, South Carolina, Virginia, Mary
land, D. C., Georgia, Alabama, Ken
tucky, Tennessee, Florida, Louisiana
Arkansas, and Texas.
While the corporation is a new firm
the Boll Weevil has just completed a
very successful year, the success of
which from all indications is growing
and will continue to grow. The chief
offices are filled by: L. J. S. Brody,
Business Manager, R. L. Felton, Jr.,
Editor arid T. P. Cheeseborough, Jr.,
Advertising Manager. The remain
der of the board is composed of stu
dents from all parts of North Caro
lina. The first issue, the Freshman num
ber, is scheduled to appear on Octo
ber the tenth. It will be a forty-four
page issue and the corporation in
vites comparison with any other col
ege humorous publication.
rshmen Must Take
Gymnasium Work
The Gymnasium authorities are
making arrangements to give every
freshman periodical workouts in the
gym this year. 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.

CAFETERIA HAS
IMPROVEMENTS
University Cafeteria Installs
New Facilities for Serving
Its Patrons
The University Cafeteria has com
pleted its new facilities for serving
its numerous patrons. 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. .

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.
The big Caroina band lent no end
of color to the Wake Foresgane,;:
