University Day exercises and parts of the Trinity-Carolina game in motion pictures outside his store Monday night. The perfosmance attracted quite crowd of spectators who seemed . very much interested in the picture, and a few of the expressions one hears at the Pickwick were heard around the impro vised outdoor theater. The " theater , consisted of a screen mounted on two posts and a moving-pic ture projector which is commercially called a "kodascope." This machine was mounted on a goods box about 15 feet from the screen, and it projected a pic ture of considerable size; so much so, that some of the familiar characters who took part in the University Day exer cises ' could be recognized, President Chase being one of the most prominent, The reel contained a few scenes from the above-named exercises, the triumphal march' of the band to Emerson field, and a good part of the Trinity game itself. Most of the plays by which Car olina gained ground were shown, and both field goals were vividly pictured.

CAROLINA BOYS SOLD FEW But There Was No Wholesale Ticket Scalping They Claim. "There was no ticket scalping by State College students at the game Thursday, according to Athletic Director J. F. Mil ler," says Tal H. Stafford in Saturday's Raleigh Newt and Observer, in a signed article coming as .an aftermath of the Carolina-State football game. Continuing with his article, Mr. Staf ford explains iiu. detail the plan of issu ing seats to the N. C State students in order to prevent any ticket selling 'ac tivity on their part. 'While not so stat- ed by the Raleigh writer, it was peA fectly plain that Mr. Stafford war di recting his attack at the University, stu dents as the culprits guilty of buying up tickets and selling them at exhorbitant prices. As to the selling of tickets at the game by Carolina students and at higher prices than charged by the athletic au thorities in' charge of the game, the charge is correct- In every detail. ; How ever, the impression that there was a wholesale cornering of the pasteboard market by the University students is erroneous as every effort was made here to prevent such an occurrence and a "buying up" of tickets did not occur. Only one ticket was Issued for every registered student and there were dis tributed only in exchange for his regis tration card. Many students who found thtA they would be unable to attend the game, did get their tickets and they were sold at Raleigh at prices from $3.00 up. As the students at both the State Uni versity and State College are charged an athletic fee at the beginning of each quarter they are entitled to a ticket, and whether they, use it, or sejl it and in this way realise a refund, is not, in their opinion, of any concern to the col lege. One University boy, in discussing the matter, stated that he had bought eleven tickets at 60 cents plus the $1.25 addi tional charge levied by the athletic au thorities, and had sold them with ease at $3.00 each. In this way, the students who had paid their fees got at least a partial return, and the enterprising com merce student cleared a sum sufficient to cover the trouble involved and the risk of no market. This "speculator" made the statement that if people want ed to buy tickets on resale at a high price they had no legitimate kick, as the field's seating accommodations had been exhausted, that reserved seats had become a luxury, and that the buyers of the tickets should have bought rush seats or been thankful that seats in the bloc allotted to the Carolina students were obtainable. There was absolutely no ticket-scalping by University students on -last Thursday, he concluded. FIRST OF U. N X. SERMONS GIVEN BY REV. WILMER "The World Has Come of Age,' .. Says Dr. Wilmer Sunday j-' Night. TEXT F ROM GALATIANS Declares Only Hope for Human Race Is Conception of Human His tory As a Whole. "The world has come of age. God no longer wants to say 'don't to us," declared Dr. G B. Wilmer last Sunday night in the first University-sermon of the year. Dr. Wilmer took as his text the first six verses of the fourth chapter of Galatians, and gave a forceful inter pretation of this passage. The speaker declared that the only hope for the human race is a conception of human history as a whole; not any unit of the race but the whole human race. --We have all advanced, some soon er than Others, until we have grown up and self-determination has come to us. We rebel, against external authority and It is fading- away. The power that rules us must come from within ourselves. Paul was. able to trace the evolution of a race; in the development of a child," Dr.- Wilmer said. Paul knew the history of his own race and how its religion had developed. -.. , He knewi also . that Jesus Christ had set aside all the "thou shalts" and "thou shalt nots" and had given men f reedom. "If. we do not have the spirit of the Living God In bur hearts we cannot be free," Dr. Wilmer declar ed, f" "We are the sons of God." "Yet after all," the speaker said, "obe dience is the price of freedom. A We must obey certain laws. You boys there" he addressed the members of the orchestra 7"must obey the laws of-the music and the Instruments that you play or you cannot produce harmony. As the exter nal authority is taken away, it must be supplanted by control, from within." j Dr. Wilmer displayed not only learn ing but an unusual and delightful sense of humor but this humor was never lack ing in point nor derogatory to the main purpose of his address. He revealed an acquaintance with things modern as well as with things scholastic. IThe University rarely has the oppor tunity to hear a speaker of more inter est and force. . An unusually large audi ence heard the sermon. The University orchestra directed by Frederick Hard gave several selections' and the choirs of the town sang an anthem. It is hoped that the policy of having the orchestra will be continued. STUDENT DIRECTORY READY IN TWO WEEKS Convenient Handbook Is Issued An nually by Y. M. C. A. from Fund Given by Students. The student directory has been made up and sent to the press, but it is not yet ready for the students. W." W. Gwynn, Miss Mildred Cherry, and ' Miss Willie Ames have worked diligently in getting the names and other material ready for the directory. Seaman Print- ready foi the directory. The Sea man Printery of Durham has the con tract for printing the directories. The proof has not been sent to the "Y" yet, but it is expected to be out within a few days. It will then be a matter of about two weeks until the directories are ready to be distributed to-the stu dents. The form of the directory this year will be different from the one of last year. It will be made up like the Chapel H1U telephone directory. The Y. M. C. A. pays all the expenses connected with the directory out of the money which was recently received in the "Y" finance campaign. . ickpockets-Rifle . ' . ockets of Citizenry J. E. Gooch and Ralph Andrews, of Chapel Hill, returned from the State Fair football game with reports that the event had proven to be ,a ' serious drain on their personal finances. Mr. Gooch was relieved of a wallet containing about $25, by a pickpocket, while Mr. Andrews' money, $11 in the form of bills, was deftly removed "from his pocket without his knowledge. But Mr. Andrews' loss did not end here. On the way back from the game he was caught speeding, taken before a Judge in Durham and fined $8.90. "You'd think that would be enough for one day," he told a group of friends at the drug store. "But what do you think? Just as soon as I got back to town I met a doctor who reminded me that I hadn't paid my last year's bill." Miss Virginia Morrison has returned to her post after a short spell of sick- net. HEAVYDEBATING SCHEDULE PLAN FOR TIHS YEAR Four Triangle and One Dua State Debate Hoped for by Council. RESHMAN TRIANGLE TOO Carolina Went Above Record and Won Five Out of Seven Intercollegiate Debates Last Year. i Carolina Is planning a heavy debating schedule this year, the debate council having decided to schedule four-triangles during the year, at its meeting held Fri day night ; . ,. , ; Efforts are now being made to form a fall triangle between- the University of South Carolina, George . Washington University, and North Carolina. , Two other triangles are practically sure be tween Tulane, Sewanee, and North Caro lina, and Washington and LeeJ Johns Hopkins, and North Carolina. 1 It is hoped that a third, triangle may be formed with North Carolina and the University of West Virginia as two of the. teams, with possibly the University of Kentucky as a third member of the triangle, if Kentucky's schedule will al low her to enter. t A dual debate with a college la North Carolina may possibly be arranged,, also, with the annual freshman triangle in the spring between the University,, David son and Wake Forest as an . added at traction. The University will also be represent ed in the. state and southern oratorical contests. ; Last year the Tulane, Sewanee,, North Carolina trinagle ranked as one of the debating 'classics of the South, while the annual triangle with Johns ' Hopkins and Washington and Lee has been a big feature of the debating schedule for sev eral years past.' South Carolina and George Washington were met- In dual debates last year, but efforts are being made to merge these two dual debates into one triangle. . West Virginia was likewise met In a . dual debate last year, North Carolina had . an exceptionally good debating record last year, five vic tories- being- earned out of seven inter collegiate debates. This record was a little above the University's' traditional record of having won 70 per cent of her intercollegiate debates in the last' 30 years. Seven old intercollegiate debaters have returned to school this year. They are J.; W. Deyton, W. T. Couch, L. Q. Gal laway, L. T. Rogers, J. M. Saunders, S. F. Jones and M. M. Young. LUDLOW ROGERS GIVES INAUGURATION ADDRESS Animated Discussion of the Ports and i Terminal Bill Holds Attention, of ; " the Phi Assembly. A brief address by the speaker, Lud low Rogers, and spirited discussion of the ports and terminals bill, featured the regular meeting of the Phi assembly Saturday night. In his concise and well-timed ,remarks on the prospects for the work of the society for the coming year, Mr. Rogers in his inaugural address especially em phasized the fact that 'only active mem bers those who are interested in society work can be of permanent value to the assembly; that those who are only pass ively interested serve as so much 'drift wood, impeding the progress of the so ciety in Its advancement of Phi ideals and aims. The membership from now on will be characterized by individual actives' on the part of every member, insofar as will be possible. Following the introduction of the ports and terminals bill by W. T. Couch, animated discussion of the bill, both for and against, stood out in sharp contrast in the short speeches by "Judge" Owens, favoring the measure, and M. M. Young, opposing the proposition from every angle. Supplementary remarks by other members shed additional light on the Subject The resolution was carried over to the next meeting for further consid eration. ' ' Nine new members were Initiated Into the society at this meeting; namely, I. J. Capel, Kllliam Barwlck, Z. M. Williams, D.' H. Dautzler, D. F. Massey, J. J. Askew, E. J. Evans, T. D. Lilly, and E..R. McKelthan. The members of the Tau Epsilon Phi fraternity were the guests of the pledgees at a banquet held at the Malbourne ho tel, Durham, Sunday night, in commem oration of Founders Day. Ben Schwartz, '24, and- Eli Bloom, 27, alumni mem bers, attended the banquet, before which time they spent several hours on ' the Hill. Mr. J. L.

TAR HEELS STAY ON HOME FIELD FOR NEXT GAMES Three 'Coming Saturdays Will Find Fetzerites Acting As Hosts. WILL BE HARD CONTESTS Maryland, South Carolina, and V, M, L Will Be Visitors to Emerson Field. ; Having journeyed to Raleigh and tak en the Agriculturists into camp, the Tar Heels will rest at home tot the next three Saturdays and meet Maryland, South Carolina, and V. M. I. on Emerson field. , Davidson at Davidson follows the schedule and the season closes at Vir ginia. These three home games 1 should - be three of the hardest contests of the year. Maryland whjpped the strong team head ed by Casey Morris 14 to 0 last year, and while the College Park eleven is ap parently not so strong this year, It will make the Tar Heels step to win the con test. t South Carolina appears to -hare a good team this year. The Gamecocks beat State 10 to 0, the same score that Captain Matthews' men handed the West Raleighites. They- will come to Chapel Hill crying for revenge for the 11 to 0 defeat - handed them last year. ' V.'M. I. is fated to lose-this year as they won last, 9 to 0, but the fight that it will take for Carolina to come off vic tor will be terrific. This should be one of the best games played In North Caro lina this year, perhaps the- best. Over 12,000 people saw the game in Richmond last fall, and a similar crowd is expected to assemble for the game here. 1 Davidson is exceptionally strong ' this year and will be fighting to. uphold the record of no defeats on Richardson field for the last 12 yearsv It will certainly be no walk away for the Tar Heels. Virginia walloped the ' Flying Cadets last Saturday and appears to be one of the strongest teams in the- Southeast They felt cheated of a victory last year in the 0 to 0 tie and have several de feats of the last few years to wipe out. Carolina appears : to have the possi bilities of a great eleven If once It can "get going," and students are already daring to predict that all "the rest of the games will be won by the Blue and White. The Fctzers have seven working days -before the Marylanders come dur ing which to patch up the weaknesses shown in the State game, and Carolina supporters feel confident that Saturday will find a much Improved eleven ready to face Coach Byrd's men. PRES. CHASE SCORES FROSH FOR CONDUCT Country Freshmen from State'a Back woods Have Been Disgracing the . University's Fair Name. Speaking In chapel Monday, President Chase drastically criticised the practice of1 students congregating along the road and yelling at passing automobiles. ' At first this, practice occurred . only after games, President Chase stated, but late ly it has been extended to Sunday after noons. : Saying that it had probably been done thoughtlessly, he inquired: "What would you think if you were driving your mother or sister through such a gaunt let? - What would you think of the in stitution? I consider it the grossest, vio lation of public conduct' that the Uni versity men have been guilty of." After speaking of such conduct as- be ing both - ungentletnanly and . as a - re flection on ; the University, President Chase said in closing i "Every man who has the interest of the University at heart will: see; that: this does not occur In the future.. It Is a blot on i the insti tution and I, hope it does not represent the attitude -of the University as a whole."
