Only I WAKE FOREST COMES HERE Back Field Fairly Settled But Line Is Problematic Fetzer Brothers Trying Several Shifts. With only a week intervening before the first setto of the year with the Wake Forest Deacons, Carolina faces the open ing of the 1925 grid season with the pros V pects pointing to a successful campaign. For nearly two weeks the football squad has been working - out twice daily on Emerson Field, and the arrival of tiie student body the first of this week found the candidates in fine condition and working hard preparing a warm wel come for the Demon Deacons when they Invade the "HUT next Saturday. Over fifty men answered the call sent , out ,by Coaches Bob and Bill Fetzer for early practice and reported for the first workout on Monday, September 7. Dur ing the first days of practice the ex- treme heat slowed up the work until U the men hardened up. The men were issued light track equipment to work in, and the practice for the .first two or three days was confined to conditioning exercises, lectures on training and the - rules of the game, and practicing the first fundamentals of football such as punting, passing and blocking. The majority of the men reported in good condition from their summer ac tivities and plunged into the practice so enthusiastically that the coaches had to caution them 'against overwork on the Try-Outs for Glee Club Held Monday Glee club try-outs will be held Monday night, September 21, at 7 o'clock,' it was announced yes terday by Prof. P. J. ' Weaver, of the music department. Freshmen are eligible ' for membership in this campus or ganization, he stated, and all singers in the class are urged to come out. Prof. Weaver also pointed out that membership in the club last year did not neces sarily mean membership this term, and that all the old men would have to come to the try outs if they 'expected to remain in the glee club. 'A large number, including both old and new men, is ex pected to turn out this year in view of last year's successful season and the growing import ance which is becoming attached ' to the Carolina glee club.

During the first term 1,386 were registered, compared with 1,474 enrolled during the first term last year. An in crease of 101 in this year's enrollment for the ' second term over that of last year brought up the total enrollment for 1925 to 2,110, compared with 2,097 for both terms last year. , For the first time in the history of uni versity summer schools' the number of n enrolled exceeded the number of women. Three hundred and ninety-four men were in attendance at the second term of the university's 38th summer school; compared with 325 women.

A new unit has been added this year with the inauguration of department work in the sixth and seventh grades and the lower eighth grade. This is in effect equivalent to the establishment of a junior high school, Miss Harriet Bowen will be the head of this new unit, assisted by Miss Ola Andrews and Mrs. Stacy Gwynn. Coach Aberncthy, of the athletic de partment, Is at work every day with the football team. About 25 boys have re ported for training. The first game of the season was played September 11 with Mebane in which Chapel Hill de feated the visitors 6y a score of 36-0. New teachers will enter some of the departments. Edwin Key is Reaching mathematics and is ; also helping Mr. Sides in training of the band and high school orchestra. Miss Sarah Duncan will teach English in the high school. Miss Olive McKinnon, formerly of Lau ritiburg, will enter the primary depart ing both terms" together, however, the women outnumbered the men by 239, the total number -of individual students, de ducting duplicates, for both terms being 1,637 938 women and 699 men. Eigh teen states, not including North Caro lina, and two foreign countries sent representatives. Another precedent was established by the conferring of degrees- on summer stu dents who completed the required work. Heretofore degree winners had to wait until the following commencement a year later for, their diplomas. The fac ulty voted the change last spring and the -trustees gave their approval at Com mencement. - A total cf 2S summer stu- , dents comprised the first group to re ceive degrees under the new system. There was no ceremony in connection with the awards. Of the 26 degrees, 14 were bachelor of arts and sciences, and 12 were masters. The summer school was divided into the graduate, college and normal divis ions, and courses were planned for all teachers of primary grammar grades, high school teachers and principals, county and city superintendents and su pervisors, college and university stu ," (Continued on page three) The downtown business block has re ceived a number of new additions since the closing of school last spring. Sev eral business enterprises have, moved in to new quarters, new shops have been established, ana new buildings nave been erected. ; Work has been resumed on Mayor Robinson's building next to Sutton and Alderman's after a lapse of a few years This building has always been mentioned in the same breath with the Graham Memorial when speakfng of the probable date -of, completion. Mayor ; Robinson now expects to have it completed about the first of the year. There will be two stories and a basement. The first floor is designed for a store and the second floor will be leased for a fraternity hall. The basement will be let for some business such as a pressing club. The long-discussed McRae building is now under construction and will soon be completed. Mr. B. S. Thompson ' is the contractor for it. , Influx of Eating Places No one rteed go hungry in Chapel Hill since the addition of several new lunch counters. The Owl Sandwich and Waf fle Shop, better known as "Gus's" has been established next to the old Fender graft bus station. This ' bids fair for popularity with students of nocturnal habits because it is to date Chapel Hill's nearest approach to an all-night "joint." G. H. Paulsen has taken over the old Thompson Smoke Shop and renamed it the Carolina Smoke Shop. He has made thorough renovation of the interior and added new improvements. A new megaphone model radio, the lurgest if its kind in Chapel Hill, will soon be in stalled, he announced, which will broad cast programs out over the street through a specially-built amplifier. New pain and additional fixtures have added much to the appearance of the interior. liooch s tare has established an an nex ' at the new consolidated bus lines station called the ' Bus Lunch.' Mr, Brooks, who has been with Gooch's for five years, is running this counter. Old fashioned barbecue is served on Tues days, Fridays and Saturdays.

It is important that all reporters attend. ; Members of the Freshman class are not eligible or the Tar Heel staff until next spring when the regular try-out will be con ducted. This policy, of giving the' men their first year to accli mate themseves to Chapel Hill and the University before tak ing up work on the paper has proved to be the only satisfac tory method of handling the sit uation. Upperclassmen are eli gible for position on the paper, subject to the demand for new reporters. WILKINSON QUITS ! TARHEEL BOARD Elected As a Managing Editor During Spring Publication i Board to Elect Successor. ! G. E. Wilkinson, who was elected as 4 managing editor of The Tab Heel foj the year 1925-26, has resigned his posi tion and signed a contract to teach in the Troutman high school. Wilkinson was a Sophomore last year. He served as reporter on the Tab Heel last year and was advanced to the posi tion of managing editor by virtue of .his good work. In addition to his newspa per work, he wis olso member of the University band and was a good student, having been awarded the Holt Scholar ship last year. According to his letter sent to the Tab Heel he will probably return to school at the beginning of next year to resume his studies. The election of a man to take Wilkin son's place will probably be handled im mediately by the- Publications Union Board which has charge of the all stu dent publications.

Bus Lines Consolidated The old C. H. & D. bus line has now become the C H. D. bus line. C. H Dickey has bought up all the bus lines operating between Chapel Hill and Dur ham and consolidated them as the C. II Dickey corporation. This is a branch of the Safety Coach Lines corporation which operates throughout the state. The sta tion is located in a part of the old Strowd garage, and is headquarters for all transportation facilities of the town, Seats have been placed al along the wall and a lunch counter installed. A ladies' rest room andmen's lavatory are in the rear. ,. The other part of the old garage building front is occupied by the Western Union Telegraph office. About $3,500 worth of new equipment has been added during the summer, including sta tionery cases, filing cabinet,, oak operat ing table, oak. desk, wall desk, ladies writing desk, marble counter, rubber- stone floor, oak wainscoating with mar ble base, and electric sign outside. Mr. Council has moved the University Print Shop into the rear of this building. The old quarters were demolished for the building of the new wing on Phillips Hall. iry cleaners move The Carolina Dry Cleaners have moved from the basement of Strowd building to the place formerly occupied by the Pendergraft bus station. About $2,000 worth of new equipment has been added, Including a new steam tumbler. Their dry cleaning plant on North Columbia street will probably be moved into the new location soon. A new barber shop, the Carolina Barber Shop, has been in stalled next to them. ' A. A. Kluttz Com pany went into the hands of a receiver during th summer and a receiver's sale is now going on. Foister's Back to Old Location Foister's, the students' "hang out," library, and music hall, has been com pletely remodeled and the business has been moved back to the old location which- was damaged by fire last spring. Vevr equipment has been added and a y Trangemcnt effected. The victrola ihs are now in the rear and the de veloping is done on the second floor. Interior decoration has added much to improvement in appearance over the OUTLINES TASKS Address is in Answer to Critics of University. UNIVERSITY SERMON TOMORROW Registration is Incomplete 2,148 Ath , letic Pass-Books Issued College Night Held Last Night. The formal; opening of the 132nd an nual session of the University was held yesterday morning in Memorial Hall. An address by Dr. Chase marked the opening and the chapel period was' ex tended half an hour to, allow for the devotional exercises and the President's speech. , The President's speech was, to a large measure, an answer to the critics of the University. It laid down the platform upon ' which Universities based their work, it disclaimed the necessity of con flict between religion and science, urging a search after truth. The charges of atheism that have been directed against this institution were directly . refuted when Dr. Chase, near the close of his speech, said: "There is no institution that I know of that is not genuinely and deeply interested that its students should maintain and strengthen their faith, and is not steadily at work toward that end. The mission of a University is not to destroy, but to construct." ; Registration Incomplete Registration which has been going on during the past week was still incom plete Friday night, and official figures as to the number of students enrolled could not be obtained from Dr. Wilson's office. However, It was learned that 2,148 ath letic pass-books had been issued by the ' Y. M. C. A. This, however, is not an accurate indicator of what the total reg istration will be. - . College Night College Night exerciseswere held last night at 8:30. The annual Freshman Sophomore tug-of-war was held with a rppe "guaranteed not to break" as its two predecessors have done. The pro gram called for "Squatty" Thomas, cheer leader, to act as master of ceremonies. The judges were Dr. Chase, J. B. Ford ham, and 0. Max Gardner, of Shelby,; who is the outstanding candidate for the governor's chair and who spoke to the ' students in behalf of the alumni. ' Manly Williamson, president of the belligerent Sophomores, led his class while the Fresh men were headed by Herman Mclver, Emmett Underwood and Merle Bonner. Sermon Tomorrow Night :.. The first University Sermon will be preached tomorrow night in. Memorial Hall at 8:30 by Dr. H. M. North, of Rocky Mount. Dr. North is pastor of the First Methodist church of that place and is one of the most eminent ministers in the Methodist church in this state. He is well known to many University students on account of hls opposition several years ago to the reported cor ruption of the annual Rocky Mount June German. : " ' ' "The Three Tasks" : The entire student body was assembled at the convocation Friday morning to hear the opening-', speech. -.' The keynote of the address lay in "The Three Tasks" facing a University, outlined by Dr. Chase as follows t " "First, there is the. task of getting and. of communicating knowledge, of -teaching what is known and of pioneer ing into the unknown. Second, there is the task of putting , knowledge together in orderly and use ful ways, so that men may achieve in some measure a broad and unined out look on life. I mean that modern knowl- ' edge is so partitioned off into specialties and compartments that it is ever be coming more difficult to view it in broad outline and determine what it really has to teach about life and c&nduct. We need to' pay more attention to the or ganization of what we know. We need : think more, teachers and students alike, of education in the large. "I have come to the belief that we - must simplify and unify our educational plan. There is today no small amount of knowledge In ,the possession of spe cialists that has definite bearing on the problems that civilization is facing, but which either does not become part of the mental possessions of most college and - ' university graduates at all, or comes to them in such a way that they see it in isolation, not as . something bearing on . their own philosophy of life. , We need to remember that every age must answer anew for Itself the question, 'What knowledge is of most worth?' I believe that If our educational institutions would set themselves seriously and systemati- s titty yards. V . . - X -' (Continued on page three) - , , ment.
