TALKS TO "Y" CABINET Is Here in the Interest of the Student Volunteer Convention to be Held at Indianapolis OUTLINES CONFERENCE "Student Volunteer Convention, Greatest Religious Meeting Since the Time of Christ." "A convention to which a man traveled six thous and miles to speak twenty minutes, i woman eight thousand simply to lis ten: a convention in which 5031 peo ple represented 755 institutions in the United States and Canada; that's the kind of meeting the Student Volun teer Movement held in Kansas City beginning at 2:30 Wednesday after noon of December 31, 1913 and clos ing at 10 P. M. Sunday, January 4, 1914." Thus says the "Tar Heel" of Jan uary 8, 1914 concerning the Student Volunteer Conference. In the inter est of the one which is going to be held in Indianapolis, L. S. Cottrell, graduate of V. P. I. and Y. M. C. A. secretary there this year, spoke to the "Y" Cabinet last Monday night. He came here as traveling secretary for the Student Volunteer Movement and is visiting all the colleges of the State. He was at Trinity Tuesday, returning here Wednesday and speak ing in Chapel. He spoke at vesper services and held conferences Wed nesday also. In his talk before the Cabinet Mon day night, he briefly outlined the Vanous" matters pertaining to the conference. It is the Quadrennial In ternational Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement of Foreign Mis sions. The convention, as its name indicates, is held only every four years and this will be the only oppor tunity that upper classmen will have to attend the conference as under graduate delegates. In 1913-14 the convention was held in Kansas City, as the extract from the "Tar Heel" indicated. The last one was held in Des Moines in 1919-20. This time it will be held in Indianapelis, India na, from December 28, 1923 to Janu ary 1, 1924. This will be the ninth international convention. Although it will not be the largest convention ever held, for its size is strictly Uni ted to six thousand, it is exp?cted that it will be the best. More elab orate preparations' are being made for this conference than for any other. The purpose of the convention as summarized by the Committee on Ar rangements is as follows: "To realize the critical needs and possibilities of the situation in the world today, and to consider the re sponsibility of the Christian students of the United States and Canada in the light of this situation. "To consider Christ and his way of life as the hope of all the world. "To present the foreign missionary enterprise in the light of it3 achieve ments and possibilities as an indis pensable means of bringing the pow er of Christ to bear on the world's needs." Leaders from all over the world, (Continued on Page 4) Fraternities Pledge Men For First Time The fraternities have pledged for the first time. The new system went into effect this year and bore fruit recently. Those men who brought with them on entering the University advanced standing from accredited , colleges became eligible for initia tions on Monday of last week. Con tinued rushing was deemed inadvis-1 able by the Pan-Hellenic Council and j the faculty last year, because it in-m-foroH with studving and conse quently the new rules were formed. The new pledgees will not be ini tiated until they have passed their first quarter's work to the satisfac tion of the registrar. Any man how- . ever who enters the University with advance standing can be pledged af ter the first month. Those pledged, as nearly accurate as possible were: Delta Kappa Epsi lon, Jack Blalock of Norfolk; Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Jack Milstead of Charlotte, Jack Ragsdale of Madi son, and John Crudup of Henderson; Zeta Psi, "Al" Mosely of Raleigh; Alpha Tau Omega, James Pressley of Rock Hill, S. C; Kappa Alpha, Sid ney Dowd of Charlotte; Sigma Nu, "Buck" Buchanan of Norfolk; Kappa ; Sigma, Bill Ruff in of Winston-Salem; Sigma Chi, Zeb Morris of Concord. GGOCH SERVES A SAMPLE BANQUET Celebrates Completion of New Dining Room With a Deli cious Banquet On Monday night, Oct. 22, a "sam ple Banquet" was given in Gooch's new dining room just above the res taurant to celebrate its completion. Invitations were sent to all the or ganizations listed in the Freshman Handbook to send a delegate and also to a number of men out in the vil lage. The banquet was started off with an oyster cocktail and ended with coffee and cigars and cigarettes. Between these were chicken, aspar agus, green peas, celery hearts, pickles, fruit salad in baskets cut out of oranges, pineapple shortcake, Roquefort cheese, and saltines. The food. was excellent from start to fin ish and cooked to perfection. The decoration of the new room ex cited much favorable comment by all those present. It is finished beau tifully and lighted with pink-shaded lights. The wall-paper has an at tractive frieze at the top which runs around the room. Both the silver and the table linen were new and bore the name of the restaurant on each piece. Mayor Roberson acted as toast master, and short speeches were giv en by William McK. Fetzer, Robert A. Fetzer, Sampson Merritt, G. Y. Ragsdale, and Augustus Bradley. This new room will be available for all kinds of student banquets and will supply a long felt want since it is the only real banquet ha41 that is to be found in the town. Heretofore the rooms in the Y. M. C. A. and Swain Hall have been about the only places available and since these are either too small or too large for the attendance, numer ous organizations have had to give up many a promising smoker. This hall can also be used for alumni ban quets and other reunions in the years to come, when the old men come back to see the Hill and again meet at Gooch's. VISITING ENGINEERS HAVE LUNCHEON IN DURHAM The group of engineers who came here to hear. Mr. Dunlap went to Durham Wednesday where they were joined by a considerable number of other members of the "American So ciety of Civil Engineers of the State. Following a luncheon in the Mal- bourne Hotel and after an address by Mr. Dunlap, a State section of the American Society of Civil Engineers was organized. A constitution was adopted and the following officers were elected: Prseident, Charles E. Waddell, of Asheville; Vice-president to serve one year, Professor Harry Tucker, of State College; Vice-president to serve two years, Col. Joseph Hyde Pratt, Director of State Geological and Economic Survey, Chapel Hill; and Secretary and Treasurer to serve two years, Pro fessor Thorndike Saville, of the Uni versity School of Engineering. Dr. D. T. Carr has just had a new X-Ray machine installed in his den al offices. It is adjusted to make both large and small X-Ray pictures. Dr. Carr thinks that it will be a great aid in helping him to determine the conditions of bad teeth. WIGUE AND MASQUE AN NOUNCEMENT The Wigue and Masque, the organization that pre sented the "Kalif of Kavak" with such great success last year, is offeiing a prize of $50.00 to the person who submits the best original musical comedy, the judges to be faculty members who are not connected with the Wigue and Masque. The play must be of the usual type of musical comedy, full of humorous situations and good lines. Everyone is urg ed to try and to be prompt in submitting his manuscript. The manuscripts will be mailed to Box No. 472, and must be in by November 21 if they are to be considered. For further information re garding this see Mr. P. J. Weaver of the Music De partment or any of the pres ent members fo the Wigue and Masque. GERMAN CLUB AN NOUNCEMENT Before those who- , have been passed into the Ger man Club are eligible to at tend meetings or the dances, they must pay their initia tion fee. The Secretary and Treas urer of the German Club requests that this be attend ed to as soon as possiblle. BIG CAKE RUN ON NOVEMBER 3 Cross-Country Run for Choice of Hundred Cakes Is Big Feature The ladies of Chapel Hill have come across with thj cakes and now it is up to the track aspirants to "take the cake" they want, on Sat urday, November 3, when the first annual all-University cross-country run will be held. It will start at the stadium and ending at the stadium. The cross-country will be annual pro vided that this one is successful and future cross-countries are desired by the student body. All varieties of cakes ranging from Lady Baltimore to plain layer cakes will be baked by the ladies of the town. These will be spread on ta bles on Emerson Field on Novem- j ber 3 providing it does not rain. In case of rain, the cakes will be placed in Memorial Hall. The winner of the two and one-quarter mile cross country will have his choice of the entire one hundred cakes, the second will have his choice of the ninety nine, the third, his choice of the ninety-eight, and so on until all the cakes are picked. The race will not only be one for the sake of the cakes, but dormitory competition will also be included. The place a man finishes indicates the number of points he scores for his dormitory up to one hundred, the first man coming in scoring only one point. The dormitory which scores the least number of points wins the run. The scoring will be based on the dormitory having the largest number fo entries. All dormitories, no matter how many are entered from each one, will be based on a percentage basis so that the number of entrants will not affect the chances of the dormitory to win the race. The- course will be marked off with arrows Monday afternoon beginning at the stadium. j The Carolina Dormitories Associa tion through their Intra-Mural Ath letic Committee is promoting this meet. It is hoped that as many men as possible will come out for this cross-country run, for it is felt sure that it will be a great success. ' CHANEY AND MATTISON TALK AT E. E.

Their names are: C. A. Ashford, of Newborn. W. W. Gwynn, of Leaksville. W. D. White, of Beaufort, j T. J. Wilson III, of Chapel Hill, i C. S. Bruton, of Newport. CIVIL ENGINEERS SOCIETY HAS A NOTED SPEAKER John II. Dunlap, Secretary of A. S. C. E., Delivers Address Before Cain C. E. Society NATIONAL REPUTATION Mr. John H. Dunlap, Secretary of the American Society of Civil Engi neers, addressed the William Cain Civil Engineering Society, the stu dent chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers, together with the student chapter of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers who met with the William Cain Society in Phillips Hall last Tuesday even ing. Mr. Dunlap was professor of san itary and hydraulic engineering in the University of Iowa fcef ore ac cepting his present position. He gave a splendid ' talk before the students, faculty members, and guests who were there to hear him.. He stressed particularly the value of hard work and the opportunities for public ser vice which are peculiar to the engi neering profession. Ha also told the students of the necessity of havir.g a wide liberal training rather than a narrow technical one for the engi neer of today. He illustrated forcefully the value of the engineer in modern society by citing the benefits which have been realized from the increase of power facilities. Due to the efforts of the engineer, control of a great amount of power has been accomplished. It would not be possible to accomplish even a small percent of the gigantic operations, such as in industry and transportation, with this increase of power. Indeed, it would be impossi ble to live as we do today had it not been for the engineer's giving up these modern power facilities. He stated that estimations indicate that within the next ten years 40, 000 graduates of engineering schools will be needed every year to meet the ever-increasing demands put up on engineers. However, engineering schools at present are graduating only about 9,000 a year. To meet this increased demand engineers must fit themselves for this new era. A man's training should be such that it fits him for the responsibilities of this age, he said. Among the re quirements he considered necessary in the education and ti'aining of any well educated engineer were the follow ing: 1. Every educated man shall know his environment. 2. Every educated man shall know himself. 3. Every educated man shall think well. (Continued on Page 4) PIANO RECITAL GIVEN AT COMMUNITY CLUB A musical in the form of a piano recital was given under the auspices of the Community Club last Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Whee ler by Mrs. Engracia G. Dike. Be sides the musical part of the program Mrs. Dike gave an interesting talk on Bortkievicz, a Russian pianist un der whom she studied at Constanti nople. The latter part of her pro gram was made up of the works of this man, who is coming into promi nence as a musician of note. GERMAN CLUB GETTING READY FOR FALL DANCES Already plans are being made for Thanksgiving festivities. A meet ing of the German Club will be held in the near future so that the lead ers for the fall dances may be se lected. Because of the crowds that are expected to attend the dances this ear it is hoped that some arrange ment can be made for more space than Bynum Gymnasium affords. The crowds last year were enormous and made dancing impossible almost half the time. If the Thanksgiving game brings as many to the Hill as expected, the "gym" will be about as useful as a jack rabbit on Broad way, or a "Froggie" Wilson without any bullfrogs. The same old story-r-the secretary and treasurer of the German Club requests that those who have been rceently elected to membership in the club please pay their initiation fee, five dollars, and receive thanks for same. No one will be allowed ad mittance to the German Club dances who has failed to pay his initiation fee. The Junior Class Smoker will be held Tuesday night at nine o'clock in Swain Hall. No admission will be charged. Eats and Smokes will be served. THE WIGUE AND MASQUE INITIATE EIGHT MEMBERS The Organization Is Planning for a Big Year Is Offering $50 for Best Comedy MUCH INTEREST SHOWN The Wigue and Masque, a local student organization with a purpose to promote music and dramatics in the University, initiated Tuesday night, eight men being taken in. The initiates and the characters in which they appeared are as follows: G. E. Copeland as an eight year old girl at a family re-union, Frank Hursey as Little Eva, Jules Welch as L'Apache, Erskine Duff as a . chap erone of the Pi Phi Sorority, Robert Dye as a train robber, Hal Kemp as Levy, a pawn broker, J. D. Edwards as Aunt Dinah, and Winslow Mclver as John Bull. The Wigue and Masque was found ed by four Carolina students in May 1922, with the primary purpose of producing a musical comedy every year. In the Fall of 1923 they began rehearsals for the first show, a snap py and original musical comedy, by Ernest Thompson. Being the first musical comedy that had ever baen presented at the University it met with astounding success, and each performance was given before a packed house. An extensive trip was planned, but was not completed on account of the lack of funds due to the fact that the organization was practically in its infancy. The trans portation of cast of fifty people made out-of-town performances .un profitable. However, the show did go to rinehurst and was favorably re ceived by an audience consisting al most entirely of habitual play-goers. The production was under the direc tion of' P. J. Weaver, P. II. Daggett, and Legrande Everett. The Wigue and Masque is the only organization of its kind in the State and one of the few of its kind in the South. A feature of the organ ization is that co-eds are not eligi ble for the parts in the plays. The chorus consists entirely of men in the role of female impersonators. However, that is no detraction, for it was generally conceded last year that the chorus in the "Kalif of Kavak" would have made Flo Zieg feld turn green with envy. The Wigue and Masque bids fair to rank with the Playmakers within the next two or three years. The organization is making elab orate plans for the production of a screaming show this Winter. It is offering a prize of $50.00 to the per son that submits the best original musical comedy, the judges to be faculty members who are in no way connected with the organization. The manuscript must be sent to Box 472 before November 24, or else the play submitted will not be given consid eration. This contest is open to everyone, and every one who is im bibed with a wish to write is urged to try for it A plan similar to this was used last year and it resulted that four plays were offered. It is hoped that more students will take an active interest this year, and fur nish enough competition to make the prize a real honor. Several towns have been booked for performances, so the proposed trip of last year is sure to a reality this year. The Oak Ridge Club recently had the first meeting of the year. At this meeting L. L. Garner was elected president; C. W. Thomas, vice-president and Brody Ginn treasurer. An extensive programme was outlined by the president, which will be carried out during the year. A number of feeds are to be given this year and much will be done to entertain the athletic teams and other visitors who will be here from the Ridge this season. At the close of the meeting C. H. Davidson was appointed press agent for the club. i Almost the entire graduating class from Oak Ridge enter the Univer sity the following fall. There are about fifty students from that in stitution here this year, many of which are outstanding personalities in the life of the campus. TAR HEELS OFF FOR MARYLAND GAME SATURDAY Maryland Has a Strong Team This Year, Having Defeated the Strong University Penn Team TEAM IN GOOD CONDITION In the best of health and spirits, the University football team, unde feated in the South for two long years, will play the University of Maryland at College Park, Maryland, Saturday. Not since "Runt" Lowe dropped the ball on Riddick Field, has the University's record been blurred by a defeat administered anywhere below the Mason-Dixon line. To morrow, in foreign territory, Caro lina runs up against what is probab ly one her two stiffest opponents of the year. Last year the Marylanders were completely annihilated on Emerson Field. But the Maryland team was big and fat and the weather was cruelly hot. The big huskies were helpless in face of the heat and the lighter Carolina team, and even though the scrubs were playing against them for a good part of the game, they were defeated with ease, 27-0. This year the game is hard to forecast. The mighty Pennsylvania was trampled under by Maryland and the world gasped. Then on the fol lowing week-end, exultant over their victory against Penn, they allowed V. P. I. to walk away with the bucon. And V. P. I. had far less trouble do ing 'the stunt than she had in defeat ing Davidson College which, with a team undoubtedly weaker than Caro lina, has already been licked by Wake Forest. Salted down by the V. P. I. trag edy, the Maryland bunch will exert herself to the utmost in an effort to defeat the Carolinians. Carolina has" defeated her in the two times that they have played and elaborate plans are being laid to ensnare the down homers in the distant park and to exact sweet revenge. Press reports say that the game promises to be an aerial contest, the University of Maryland expecting to depend great ly on her forward pass department for gains. Two year's bitter exper ience has probably convinced her that, if gains are desired, it is far better to seek them cither around or above the line. Northern sport writers, having gauged Carolina's strength by the Yale game, are paying little atten tion to her. , Coach Bill Fetzer has again gone northward, taking with him this time, not scrubs, but the whole Blue and White Varsity. With all the players in uniform, excepting Sparrow, the team will be able to play its best and perhaps retreive a little of its Yankee-land reputation that was lost somewhere in the Yale Bowl about a month ago. Carolina's record to date: Carolina 22; Wake Forest 0. 1 Carolina 0; Yale 53. Carolina 14; Trinity 6. Carolina 14; State 0. Carolina 50; Opponents 59. DOGS IN DORMITORY As the result of the petition, which the inhabitants of the Quad rangle presented against the barking dogs in the Med. building, those ani mals have been moved to a new home. This new home for condemned dogs is located between the athle tic field and the site of the new gym nasium. Six contented canines were found there, quietly occupying a rather long kennel, which is built in the center of a four cornered lot. In the yard is a nice pile of hay. The whole thing is enclosed with a high fence securely built, so there is no danger of the occupants straying from home. Two Social Orders Hold Initiations Both the Gorgon's Head, and the Gimghoul, Junior Orders on the cam pus, had recent initiations. These are social organizations composed of rep resentative menn. The Gimghoul initiated Jack Lon don and Tom Cheeseborough. The Gorgon's Head added the following neophytes: Dick Thorpe, Dick Rich ards, Roger Whichard, Al Purring ton, R. L. Johnson, Grimes Williams, Will Whedbee, and Sam Blount.
