CIRCULATION ''' " This Issue: 2,233 MM 9 UNIVERSITY MARY LAND NEXT! Vol. XXXII. Chapel Hill, N. C, Oct. 19, 1923. No. 9 POST OFFICE IS TO ILVE TWO MAIL CARRIERS Two Rounds of the Campus and Town of Chapel Hill Will be Made. MEANS IMPROVED SERVICE At last the post office situation in Chapel Hill and on the campus is in a fair way to become settled. An inspector from the office of the Post master General has been to town and has authorized the installation of the house-to-house system of delivery. According to Postmaster Herndon, every; house will have to contribute its own mail receptacle. It does not matter what this receptacle is as long as iti will hold mail; for the carrier will not want to leave the mail lying around on the porch or steps and will not nave time to summon the occu pants to the door." On the campus each dormitory will have its own little post office, for the plan is to erect, on the ground floor of each dormitory, an enclosure to which the carrier will have a key. Mail will be put in the boxes by means of a door behind the enclosure. Students will have boxes and keys as usual. Two carriers will cover the cam pus and town. Their first round will be made at about nine-thirty in the morning at which time they will de liver the mail which came in on the morning train and the previous night. Another round will be made about three o'clock in the afternoon dis tributing the mid-day mail. Letters and papers only will be . delivered , on t these , trips; no parcel imi.t , ""a&-'iU9an(l-dqj;hj CAMPUS TO BE MUCH IMPROVED Contributions Being Sought for Cainpus Improvement Fund. : Circulars are being sent out to the alumni by the District, of Columbia Alumni Association' asking for con tributions', to the Campus Improve ment Fund. . The Washington asso ciation has. adopted for its slogan "Campus Beautiful," and,: led by its president. Dr. Atkinson, class of '88, i3 working toward making the Uni versity . campus the most ' beautiful in America. Its natural setting should help make this possible. Several years ago Dr. W. C. Coker, of the faculty, Mr. John Sprunt Hill, Durham, and Mr. James Sprunt, Wil mington, each gave $1,000 as a begin ning of a Campus Improvement Fund. However, nothing was ever added to this amount. These gentlemen have agreed to allow this sum to be placed in the hands of the new committee, where it will be spent for its orig inal purpose. To quote from the circular sent out by the committee: "we need new walks, new roads, new lawns around the new buildings; much grading and re-surfacing must be done to eliminate washed, bare places and those muddy unsightly spots where water collects; dwarf shrubbery should be set out around the new halls. The exposed roots of the old stately long lived oaks are calling for our attention as well as our admiration." Dr Coker, treasurer of the Cam pus Fund committee, who has been untiring in his efforts to arouse in terest in beautifying the campus, has the following to say of the project: "The University of North Carolina is uniquely situated , and has every aturaLadyaritaire here to, encourage MEETING MONDAY TO SELECT MEN FOR TRY OUTS Rhodes Scholarships Examina tions to be Meld Here Monday at 3 P. M. ' NOT MANY APPLICATIONS Examinations for this-University's candidates for the Rhodes Scholar ships will be held Monday after noon at 3 o'clock according tp a state ment made by J. F. Royster, dean of the School of Liberal Arts, who has the matter in charge. In an inter view this morning' Dean Royster stated that the response to the call for candidate's' sent out some time back through the columns of the-Tar Heel has not been as : heavy as the committee has expected. " . .. "This University is entitled to five candidates," stated Mr. Royster, "and we are anxious for more men to ap ply for these scholarships. Anyone who is interested at all in applying should see either Mr. Spruill or my self before Monday."- Mr. Royster declined to give the names of those who had already applied but merely stated that the response was not at all what it should be. He explained that the University: of North Carolina is allowed to have five candidates for the scholarships and that from the men who apply to the local commit tee there will be five chosen to com pete for the places along with the representatives of the other institu tions in the state. The founder of these scholarships, Mr. Rhodes, in seeking to bring about a better understanding between the Americans and Englishmen, hit upon this idea to promote such a spirit.

The warrant was sworn out at the instigation, of., a Cq-ed who lives in Russell Inn on Pittsboro street. She complains that on .sev eral occasions he followed her to the co-ed house and that he insisted that she was his wife. Mrs. Roth ' died three years ago and he was so grief-stricken at that time that he tried to commit sui cide by swallowing poison several weeks later. He saw the young lady on the street and showed her a picture of his wife and stated that since she looked so much like the picture she must be his wife. He said that his wife was buried with some jewelry on her and that robbers dug her up and on finding her alive, kept her until the present time. .,.

Miss Edith Moose is Elected . President of Co-Ed Self Help Association The Co-Eds of the University who are interested in self-help have formed an association to assist the girls who want to get together with those out in town wanting suitable work done. This will be a counter part of the Y. M. C. A. Self-Help Headquarters and will have the same aims as it. Miss Edith Moose was elected chairman of the association and will conduct the actual work of providing student helpers. There have been a few workers that were Co-Eds before the associa tion was formed. Their most com mon call was for some one to care for children of the Chapel Hill peo ple while they went to some social function or out of town. There are numerous other kinds of work that they can do well and they would like to get as many calls as is feas ible for these kinds of work from the people out in the town. Those in need of help should communicate with Miss Moose, the chairman, at the Co-Ed house, Russell Inn. For many years Carolina boys have been aided to get work to pay their expenses, either in part oi wholly, by the Y. M. C. A. and as a result the Self-IU'lp Headquarters has been installed to facilitate get ting work for the boys and furnish ing help to the townspeople when it is needed. This association will do the same for the girls as the Y. M. C. A. does for the boys and they hope for the encouragement and back ing of everyone. There are Co-Eds who want work just as much some of the boys and since they are stu dents here there is no reason why they should not have the same op portunities given them as are of fered the boys who want to help pay their college expenses here. President Chase will leave for Sweetbriar, Virginia, Wednesday to make an address. of the immediate projects now in mind are: "Extension of the Arbor etum as an open valley park east ward along the north side and part of the south side of- Battle's Brook, through Battle's ,G,ove and curving around south of the Battle (now Booker) property and extending to Park Place and its part, a path to run by the brook throughout this ex tension; the planting of an imposing row of Japanese Cherry trees some where on the campus; and the exten sion of the North Carolina shrub gar den south under the railroad, clean ing up and laying out as a park the low place that will lie south and west of the new chemical building and north of the new road back of the athletic field soon to be constructed." WOMAN'S ASSOCIATION HOLDS FIRST MEETING The first meeting of the Woman's Student Government Association was held Wednesday at 4 P. M. in the As sociation rooms. After the meeting was called to order by the president, Miss Francis Venable, the constitu tion was read, and the general pol icy of the organization mapped out for the year. The chairman of the committees elected were as follows: Kitty Lee Frazier, athletics; Bessie Davenport, literary activities; Romana Gallo way, music and Edith Moose, self help. Norma Cornwell was elected as Junior representative on the council. After the meeting was adjourned tea was served. TAR HEEL NOTICE A box will be placed at the en'. ranee of the Y. M. C.

GRADUATE SCHOOL ISSUES BULLETIN Includes Many Records of Inves tigation that Have Imme diate Application DEAN BRADSHA GETS STATISTICS Compiles Data From Matricula tion Cards on Vocational Choices of Freshmen Many pepole think of a university as a large college, and of a college as an advanced high school. That is, school, college, and university are places where young folks are taught things supposed to be useful or orna mental or both. The service of the institution is said by commencement speakers and college heads to be to make good future citizens; by par ents it is said (or thought, to be that of gaining for the boy or girl better social and business success. If the average man thinks of the Graduate School at all, it is as a place where future teachers are trained in various subjects by learn ed men called doctors. The crown of the training is the production of an essay, learnedly called a "disserta tion" which few read and none but the writer and his parents admire. The idea that the University, through its Graduate School, can do for the State just what the consult ing experts in any great business or ganization do for the private busi ness is comparatively new. In the annual bulletin of Research in Progress just issued for the fourth time by the University of North Carolina are many illustrations of the way in which faculty and stu dents investigations may contribute information of importance to the state and its citizens. It contains abstracts of work done dining the last year on such subjects as the following : (Continued on Page 3) Dean Bradshaw lias recently com piled a .paper : of statistics gathered from , the -.matriculation cards ' upon the vocational choices of the mem bers of the freshman class. In the same paper, he gives data upon the number of parents attending col lege, number of men who have earn ed money, what high school subject they preferred, etc. Ninety-two were undecided as to any choice of vocation, one hundred and fifty-two made a first choice alone, one hundred and five made only first and second choices, and three hundred and fifty-five made three choices as was called for on the matriculation card. Medicine leads the vocational list with one hundred and twenty-three men giving it as their first choice. Law follows a close second with one hundred and six choosing it. The third in the list, Teaching, drops to eighty six. Banking, Business (Gen eral), Electrical Engineering, Jour nalism, etc., follow. The list runs through one hundred and ten occu pations, and covers everything from from nursing to politics; Efficiency Expert to Art Student. In the list of second choices, Teach ing leads with forty seven. Law, Banking, Medicine, Business, etc., follow. Six hundred and twenty-seven second choices were indicated; three hundred and fifty-five third choices. Taking the four most popular voca tions, History was the favorite sub ject of them all. Science was the second most popular with medicine, and English with Law, Teaching and Banking. The vocational choices of the Freshman class reveal that Medicine, Law, and Teaching are still the most popular from statistics compiled at the Dean of Student's office. In the following table each vocation is placed in order of importance with reference! to the first choice. The second and third choices are also given, and the exact vocation is list-, ed as was found on the pink matri culation card. (Continued on Page 3) Bishop Paul Jones, from Utah, who is making a tour of the country in the interest of a movement , for world peace was in Chapel Hill Fri day and made a talk in chapel Fri day morning; - His subject was "Crea tive Power of Good Will." ..... , . He said that the world was ex actly what the people living in. it make it, nothing more or less. . A few bad wrong spirited people .can destroy the work of a large group. Me believes in the psychology of ?ood will, for instance, if you walk ap to a man on the street with a smile on your face and give, him a warm greeting,- he will practically svery time respond to it no matter what kind of mood he may be in, and consequently have better feel ings towards you and the world in general. He spoke on the prevention of wars by the application of the principles of good will on a large scale. He said the natlure of war was funda mentally wrong since it is an effort to settle a fight by fighting. If the same spirit of sportsmanship and fair play was used in the relations among nations as is exhibited in ath letic contests between colleges, there would be few if any wars. He quoted John Dewey in saying that "there is no distinction between the yneans ana the end in a war. in other words there is no such thing as fighting a war to obtain a good end, for since the principle of fight ing a war is wrong, which is the means, the whole business is wrong. Therefore, it follows that it is wrong to fight one war in an effort to prevent another, and besides can not be done, since a war stirs up hate instead of good will. It makes differences and does not settle them. Bishop Jones made a talk Friday afternoon, at 4:15 in No. 109 Saun ders Hall. His subject was "Reduc ing the Spiritual Death Rate." Monday morning in chapel Rev. Mi". Ijam, who is holding p tabernacle meeting, in Durham,1 will make ff-ialk to tbe student body. His subject has not been learned '' '"' !

State Eleven Does Not Show Finish of Carolina Team. Raleigh, Oct. 18. The, pale of death hangs over N. CState tonight. Her team is crushed, her students downcast, her alumni disappointed. Hope that was everything with the rising of the morning sun departed with its setting. No hilarious mobs of Techmen are roaming the city or rending the air with their cheers. Raleigh has. opened her arms to the conquerer and her favorite. Every where University students hold forth. Peace, Meredith and St. Marys are swamped, private homes are invad ed, the Yarborough House is pack ed. State has gone into the discard. Fangless and clawless, writhing in the agonies of a crushing defeat, Stale's far fabled Wolfpaek, which so bravely spat into the face of the Nittany Lion a scant two weeks ago, lies in her lair, robbed of all fruits of victory, dejected in the depths of defeat. Carolina has robbed her of all hopes of championship, has snatched from her another victory and has taken back with her anoth er oval for her trophy room. The Wolfpaek is baying at the moon to night as futilely as she snarled at the Blue and White on Riddick Field this afternoon. She bemoans and be wails, her fute is sealed, and Car olina boasts of a shut-out, the first in many a year, 14-0. Led by its fifty piece band the University Student Body, en masse, poured off the "Carolina Special" and took the town by storm. By noon the town was saturated and in the vast throng attending the State Fair, small bits of blue and white ribbons were seen everywhere. Short ly after one they began to swoop down on Riddick Field and from then until five they saw the big team de feat its biggest rival within the bounderies of the State. At midnight the Special pulled out, loaded with happy and tired students, returning to' meet their Friday ., classes and hopeful of avoiding the wrath of. one T. J. 'Wilson... "Casey" Morris, .captain and end, . and "Monk" McDonald, diminutive quarterback, each , without ... a peer in the State, played their iast game (Continued on page 4) DR. NATHAN HAS TO DROP COURSE Gets in Dutch With the French Department Hecause of Grats Much has been said about the strict measures taken by University officials in regard to students miss ing more than the alloted number of classes, and many poor students have found themselves on probation be cause of excessive absences. But a little incident happened the other day to prove that even if University dis cipline is strict in regard to the above-mentioned offense, no partiali ty is shown in administering it. The sad story is as follows: Dr. S. A. Nathan, the hefty 200 pounder, Orange County health' offi cer, anil well-known landmark of Chapel Hill, decided , to , take up the study of French, so he affiliated himself with the Department of Ro mance l anguages. But Dr. Nathan is a busy man and ,ho. found that he could not catch all his classes. Ayway, what is a little absence every now and then ? A few days ago Dr. Nathan re ceived a post card from Dr. Bell, acting dean of the .School of Ap plied Science, informing him that five unexcused absences had been marked against him in the Regis trar's office, and saying that it would be to his advantage to hasten for ward with some explanation. Dr. Nathan called on ' Dr. Bell at the first opportunity. One can im agine the latter's surprise when the giant student ambled nonchalantly in- (Continued on Page 3)
