Fra ternity men and Freshmen alike :f eel its coming, anxiously await the returns of the day. For -weeks the Pan Hellenic Council -and the faculty committee have had the freshman pledge date Tinder discussion. The porten tous and all important hour will come on December 6. This date seems to be advis able because it will allow both freshmen and frat men to con centrate on' the fast approach ing examinations. There will be many upsets. ' There will be a great deal of excellent fraternity rmen overlooked on this first pledge day and a number of men will go through, that doubt less would have been checked off with time. The little but tons will be sprinkled all over the campus ,;; Not , until ..two quarters work are safety regis tered in Dr, Tommie's big book can they exchange the button for the pin and: see the promised land. The new system is favored eeause it affords both tht freshmen and the fraternity men more opportunity to get down to their books, and to save a great deal of money that comes incidental with the high er form of rushing. The average number of fresh man initiated , each year has been running. Very close to 150.

Every old Carolina man knows what that; means. Mr. Eddy is a world fig. ure Tn student centers and has profr ably; talked to more students of more nationalities than any other living mam He spent three days at Caro lina ! two; years ago,;speaking td six large audiences in Memorial Hall, and at the close accepted an invitation to return. to Carolina after the trip around the world upon which he was on the eve of embarking. December 6, 7, and 8, he will be here. Mr. Eddy graduated at Yale - in 1891, went to India in 1896 at his own expense, worked for fifteen .years among the students of that country, and was then called to be the head of all Y. M. C. A. work in Asia. Nine years of service in this capacity among the students and officials of India, China, Japan, the Near East and Russia, were characterized by energy, brilliance, and judgment. In 1912-13 Mr. Eddy was engaged with John R. Mott in conducting meetings for students throughout Asia. In 1914 he returned for an ex tended campaign in China and his au diences that year averaged 3,000 a night. In Hong Kong, for instance, it was necessary to hold three meet ings in three successive hours in one of the largest theatres of the city to accommodate the crowd. The offi cials of China, from president and vice-president down to the governors and local officials received Mr. Eddy, sometimes sending out official proc lamations of the meetings. During the early years of the war Mr. Eddy was with the British Army in France, and, during the closing year on the American, French, and British fronts. Since the Armistice his regular work has taken him often through Europe and Asia and around the w.orld. Mr. Eddy has just returned from Europe, where he has been studying political, social, and industrial prob The Mary D. Wright Debaters Are Chosen The preliminaries for the annual Mary D.

The ouery to be discussed will be "Resolved: That the Philippine Is lands be given" complete and imme diate indepnedence." The Dialectic Society speakers will uphold the affir mative and the Philanthropic speakers the negative, in the final aontest, which will be held in Gerrard Hall Friday night, December 14.

He had especial opportunities of inter views with the leading men of Eu rope, including President Mesaryk of Czechoslovakia, the King of Bulgaria, menicers OTTatmiets, employers and labor leaders as well as students and professors of the universities of Eu rope. On his recent visit to Germany he had extended interviews and con ferences with President Ebert, the Minister of Reparations, the late Chancellor, and representative lead ers of the Universities, of labor and of Church and State. His years of travel, study and, work in foreign lands give Mr. Eddy a perspective and grasp of the world situation that few men have. He will speak in general upon the cha'.'enge of the world situation, handling such topics as "The Danger Zones of Twg Continents," "Russia and the Ruhr," "America's Responsibility to the World," "Campus Problems," "The Challenge of Our Social Problems," and "A Rational Faith for a College Man. One night will be given over to an open forum when any student will have the privilege of submitting any question which he wishes to ask. Mr. Eddy will speak first at Chapei period Thursday morning, Dec. 0. The Chapel period, however, will be lengthened to an hour and a half both Thursday and Friday by the addition of the third class period, in which no classes will be held. He speaks again Thursday night, Friday morning, Fri day night, Saturday morning, and Saturday afternoon at 2:30. Mr. Eddy speaks from vital living experience, and brings a story of vivid narrative and thrilling interest to the young men of America. Mr. Eddy has been called a "Teddy" Roosevelt type of man, with the same dynamic drive, a rugged man with a kick in his mes sage. FORMER STUDENTS WIN APPOINTMENTS Information was received recently by Dr. I. H. Manning that out of thirty men chosen from Washington University Medical School in St. Louis for internship at Barnes Hos pital at the same place, three former Carolina med students were among those chosen. These men were chosen on a basis of their scholastic stand ing. N. A. Womack won fourth place; J. N. Parker, seventh place; while J. W. Hinderlite was selected for eigh teenth place. Next Sunday morning, December 8, the Rev. Paul Micou, Secretary for Religious Education of the EpUcopal Church, will preach at the Chapel of the Cross. - . NEW FRATERNITY HOUSE CHRISTENED Delta Kappa Epsilon Initiates Its New Home With House Party Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity has initiated its new home. Twenty-six of the most . beautiful and popular girls in the south were their guests for the Turkey Day game and the Fall Dances. As far south as St. Augustine and from the Old Domin ion. they came to test the hospitality of the D. K. E.'s in one of the south's most beautiful fraternity houses. . Beautiful and stately from the out side, the D. K. E. bouse, is even more pleasing to the eye on the inside. Finished in ivory throughout and fur nished with an artistic touch, every part of the house ,has its charm. The opening houseparty was chap eroned by Mrs. Clem Wright.; of Greensboro, and Mrs. William Dey of Chapel Hill. The following were guests: Misses Annie Ford of Char leston, S. C; Margaret Vaughn, An nette Wright, and Jessie Myers , of Greensboro; Elizabeth Dowd, Calvyie Scott, Catherine Morehead, Louise Gibbon, and Martha Lee of Charlotte; Mary B. Wilson, Virginia Storr; Ade laide Boylston, and Bessie . Folk of Raleigh; Mary Pickett of Wilmington; Dorothy Mendenhail. of Lexington; Mildred Coolidge of Nashville, N. C; Amie Cheatham, Henderson; Vir ginia Cody, Montgomery, Ala.; Mary Burwell,. Warrenton, N. C; Elizabeth Niles, Oxford; Frances Holt Mount castle, Lexington, N. C; Mary Ly brook Lasater, Winston-Salem; Snow. Hendren, . Winston-Salem; Emalina Robertson, Norfolk, Va.; and Ade laide Knight of St. ; Augustine, Fla. . Ten thousand dollars has been an onymously donated to the University of Virginia for the establishment of Richard Henry Whitehead scholarship in medicine. Seven hundred dollars was given by Phi Delta Phi frater nity for the establishment of a fund for the expansion or the law library. This is a memorial to the late Raleigh Minor. The enrollment of the Uni versity .is 1735. GRADUATE MANAGER GIVES OUT INTERESTING Although Weather Cenditions Were Unfavorable to a Record Breaking Crowd 14,231 People Officially Saw Virginia Game By Hank While Carolina was battling Vir ginia to a scoreless tie on Thanksgiv ing she was performing before the largest crowd ever assembled in the State of North Carolina for the pur pose of witnessing an athletic con test. Had J. Pluvious been a little less sentimental and had he restrained a few of his early morning . tears, perhaps the . attendance would have been even greater. As it was, 14,231 people passed through the gates, many others climbed the neighboring trees or sought the friendly house-tops. Taking the season as a whole, the attendance was the greatest in the history , of the University. At Yale 20,000 people, came out and saw the Bulldogs run up a G3-0 score against the Tar Heels. Next comes the Thanksgiving game with its record of 14,2.31. N. C. State at Raleigh where 10,895 passed the ticket man, ranks, third. The crowd at Richmond was somewhat below expectations, coming fourth with 7,971. Then the figures grow small. 4,000 people saw the University of South Carolina game, 3,401 saw the opening game with Wake Forest, 2.G94 saw David son scare Carolina and only 2,000 at tended the University of Maryland game at College Park. Moving the Davidson game to Chapel Hill, in order to furnish the students with a reasonable number of home games, proved to be a losing proposition, financially. At Char lotte in 1922, some 5,422 people paid to see the Tar Heels and Wildcats play. This year at Chapel Hill there were only C94 paid admissions, and in. these days of high finance in col lege football such a strikingly small figure is almost a tragedy. Certainly it isn't much of an augment in favor of bringing many games to the Hill. In four years the attendance at the Carolina-Virginia game has doubled. Back in 1919, when Captain Coleman and his team played the Cavaliers in North Carolina for the first time, No. 21 BYNUM GYM IS THE SCENE OF PRETTY DANCES Annual Fall Dances Prove to be the Best in Several Years Garber at His Best CONDUCT DANCES ORDERLY Never in the;history of the Univer sity have the Annual Fall dances been quite so beautifully carried out, so thoroughly enjoyed. Bynum Gym nasium, was beautifull arranged with the hanging draperies of Orange and Brown, and for the first time on rec ord these decorations were not torn down at the Final German Ball. " Lovely and charming girls, stately ladies beautiful with their slightly graying hair and the manners of the old school; men of all ages suddenly made handsome and dignified in their evening dress, all these and many other things combined to make it a scene indeed pleasing to the eye. Youth enjoying itself. Mothers and fathers proud of their sons and of our state University in all its glory. It would take the pen of an artist well acquainted with the rainbow's colors, and the graceful words of a Longfellow to do' justice to the beauty and charming grace, of the girls of old Dixie land, dressed more than ever in 'the "old fashioned way, who brought joy to student hearts for a brief time. ..The students are proud 'of ' Presi dent Chase's words in Chapel Monday morning, "I want to say how much. I appreciated the splendid conduct nf tha atllHpnfH nf ttin tramo ami of. terwards at the dances." It was the honor of Mr. John Ver non Ambler of AsheviHe, to lead the opening dance, that given by the Gor gon's Head Friday afternoon with Miss Mary Pickett of Wilmington. Mr. Ambler was assisted by Mr. Grimes Williams of Raleigh with Miss Mar garet O'Donell of Raleigh, and Mr. Eugene D. Hardin nf Wlmington with Miss Cathlene Mull of AsheviHe. The. evening dance was given by the Gimghoul. Both the Gorgon's (Continued on Page 4) ATTENDANCE DOPE Parker 7,177 people came up to see the game. Then in '21, with the game an un certainty due to the controversy over "Red" Johnston, 10,132 attended. But 1923 saw all figures "busted" over 14,000 souls perched around Emerson Field in a drizzling rain nad witness ed a scoreless battle. . , To almost everybody the order of the day is to talk about what might have happened if Thesmar hadn't passed the ball over Arnold's head. But to Chas. T. Woollen the game is dead. Right now he has 1925 writ ten before him in big letters with a still bigger question mark after it. Although that big game is two years off. he is already scratching his head and wondering what's to be done with the crowd. Somehow the subject drifted back to the Thanksgiving game, the crowd and the trouble in accomodating them. Mr. Woollen laughed when he told about the 14,000 people expect ing to get seats in the small concrete stadium the capacity, which is a scant 2,400. And yet they all seemed to consider it outrageous because they were unable to get seats in it. Over ten thousand temporary seats were erected, every nook was filled, and every seat was taken. No rain insurance was collected. It didn't rain the prescribed one-tenth of an inch before two o clock. Ask ed if he thought that the threatening weather kept many folks away, the business manager smiled and avowed that he didn't know for sure, but ap parently considering the rain as a gift from heaven, he switched around and demanded, "If any more had come, what in the world would I have done with them." Next year the schedule will be the same as in 1923 excepting perhaps a shake-up in order and locations. Wake Forest will act as the opener, fol lowed by Yale, Trinity, N. C.
