Y LAUNCHES GET
TOGETHER MEET
Three Days Devoted to Speak
Greet-Meet Campaign.
WELCOME TO FRESHMEN
Movement Designed to Encourage Cor
diality and Stengthen Spirit. '
Better fellowship and closer compan-
ship among the student body, increased
cordiality and cooperation, wider ac
quaintance and warmer friendships
these are the objects that will be aimed
at in an intensive campaign to be spon
sored by the 'Y" Cabinet Three days
of next week, Wednesday, .Thursday,
and Friday, have been scheduled for the
campaign, and will be devoted to the
attempt to have every Carolina man
know his neighbor. The movement as a
welcome means, of heightening the great
old Carolina tradition of good fellowship,
and is both endorsed and actively sup
ported by practically every organization
on the campus, as well as by the entire
faculty.
The three days of the "Speak-Greet-
Meet' .campaign will be filled with in
teresting events, from Wednesday morn
ing until Friday night Smokers, pep
meetings, and get-together gatherings of
all kinds will be held. The program is
being worked out in detail, and the pro
gram committee promises many inter
esting features and surprises.
To the members of the Freshman Class,
the Friendship Campaign will come as a
direct and whole-hearted effort on the
part of the old men to extend a cordial
welcome to Carolina. The new men will
be Invited to shake hands and get ac
quainted, to become a vital part of the
great brotherhood of Carolina men.
At one time last year it was suggested
that the spirit of the University , was on
the decline but the immediate and vigor
ous response which this suggestion elicit
ed was ample proof, had any been need
ed, of its falsity. It is not, however
on the day of the game or on the athletic
field alone that college spirit counts. On
the walks of the campus, in class-build
ings, in the dormitories, the friendly
spirit of college fellowship should be
manifest. The get-together campaign
which the "Y" Is sponsoring is one of the
best means of encouraging and extending
cordiality, and it should furnish at once
a proof and a strengthener of Carolina
spirit
nrollment in Graduate

any previous year. The number of reg
istrations has already reached 140. sta
tistics as to the schools In which these
advanced students have registered have
t yet been prepared.
On Friday evening at 8:00 P. M. these

roal church for the organisation of the
Graduate Club. Dean Royster and Pres
ident Chase will give short talks.v Offi

INTRAMURAL TAG
FOOTBALL GAME
ON NEXT MONDAY
Snappier Program Is Promised
This Season Than Ever
Before.
CAKE RACE FOR OCTOBER
Track Meet May Be Held Also This
Fall Butler and Wahman
( .In Charge.
The Intramural ' Athletic Department
has its plans practically completed to
give the students a snappier ; program
this quarter, than ever before. These
plans include two tag football leagues,
the big, annual cake race, and possibly
an all-campus track meet ; All Intra-
murals this year will be under the joint
direction of F. E. (Beef) Butler and J.
B. Wahman.
The, season will get under way Mon
day afternoon when the opening games
of tag football will be played. This
year, following the plan used last fall,
there will be two leagues, a dormitory
league and a fraternity league. Last
year there' were 12 fraternities and 14
dormitories entered in the contest.
Letters have already been sent to the
various dormitories and fraternities rel
ative to the league rules and the eligi
bility of playersi The organization of
teams is now under way, with the pros
pect of a number of good" teams being
put i.n the field. More teams are ex
pected in the field this year than -last,
Last year the tag gridders from New
Dorms were champions of the Dormito
ry League while the Pi Kappa Phi's
topped the percentage column among
the fraternities. In the play-off for
the all-campus championship the Fra
ternity men were victors. Both of these
teams are expected to be strong con
tenders again this season.
All games will be placed under the
supervision of the two official referees:
"Red" Routh, fast all-round Intramural
athlete of two years ago, and "Pinky"
Morris, captain of last year's Frosh
basketball team.
Some time during the latter part of
October or the first of November the
great annual cake race will be staged.
This is one of the biggest events of the
year. As many men may enter as feel
like they can make the grade. The first
hundred to cross the tape . receive a
home-made cake for their pains. These
cakes are furnished by the ladies of
Chapel HilL "
The course last year covered approxi
mately three miles. Two hundred and
twenty-eight men entered. First place
was won by a sophomore, L. N. Byrd, of
New Dorms. To the dormitory placing
the largest number of men in the win
ners goes the mammoth cake presented
by the Chapel Hill Bakery. All Fresh
men who like running and cake are ad
vised not to miss the cake. .
The Intramural Department has un

ADMISSION OF FORMER MINISTER TO
LAW SCHOOL SUBJECT OF COMMENT
"Carolina Admits Radical Minister" is
the expression used by several newspa
pers in calling attention to the fact that
Rev. Tom P. Jimison, LaFollette elector
in the 1924 presidential campaign and
former pastors of the Methodist church
of Spencer, had been admitted to the
University law school after being refused
entrance to Wake Forest College because
he was convicted of transporting whis
key in Charlotte last spring.
Jimison, it is stated, was escorted here
by Secretary of State W. N. Everett
who presented the case to " President
Chase under the endorsement of former
Governor Cameron Morrison. ,
"Our problem is different from Dr.
Poteat's", President Chase is reported to
have said. "We are running a public
institution and any citizen has a right to
come here."
Over in the law school Dean Ferson
makes the same statement. He declares
that no question was raised over the ad
mittance of Jimison here, that he regis
tered as a special student as any other
person would do, and that the former
minister would receive the same treat
ment granted other law students in the
local school. The only local address giv
en by Jimison, however, was "general
delivery."
Jimison was a student at the Wake
Forest' summer law school, but when he
attempted to reenter the Baptist institu
tion this fall as a regular student he
found the faculty in arms and heated
argument over his entrance. Wake For
est had already been criticised for allow
ing the ex-minister there in the summer
school so rather than run the gauntlet
N. C. CLUB HOLDS
INITIAL MEETING
Chase, Bradshaw, Koch, and
, Connor Make Addresses.
YEAR'S WORK OUTLINED
Election of Officers Postponed Until
Next Meeting of Club.
The North Carolina Club got off to
good start with its twelfth year Mon
day night The meeting was for or
ganization and election of officers, but
due to the fact that only a compara
tively small number were present,' the
election of officers was postponed until
the , next meeting which will be held
some time in October. President Chase,
Dean Bradshaw, and Professors Koch
and Connor addressed the club.
Dr. Chase told the club that he knew
of no group making a more serious and
honest effort to ascertain the facts about
the state with the view to having the
defects remedied. "No man can do any
thing better for his education than en
roll in this group", he said. "Its ideals
and intellectual habits are those which
we need most in this present day com
plex and ' intricate civilization. This
club is notable for its spirit of give and
take, its atmosphere of tolerant discus
sion, criticism without enmity, and as
similation' of points of view. I have
genuine regard for the administration.
This club is organized for the pur
pose of studying the social and economic
needs and problems of North Carolina.
Papers are prepared by undergraduate
and graduate students, and these pa
pers, when registered for and accepted
by the department carry college credit
and are printed in the club year book
at the close of the year. . Membership
in the club is voluntary and free and the
public is always invited. Meetings are
held fortnightly on Monday evenings
from 7:80 to 830.
The following is the program for this
year: .
Oct 5 Can the conflicting interests of
the town and county be reconciled?
Oct. 19 The complementary contri
butions of the town and county.
Nov. 2 The federation of agencies
and institutions for ' local community
welfare.
Nov. 16 The rural mind: Is it
myth?
Nov. 30 Race co-operation for town
and country advancement.
Dec. 14 Town and countryside under
one local government.
Jan. . 11 Mercantile service relations
between town and country.
Jan. 25 The local market problem.
Feb. 8 The problem of community
tennancy. ,
Feb. 22 Should the consolidated
school be located in the country or in
the town or village?
Mar. 8 A community program for the
school.
Mar. 22 A community program for
the church.
Apr. 19 A community program for
the bank. -
May 3 Rural use of town service.
of more criticism (which they don't feel
able to stand at the present time) he
was told to stay out ,
Whereupon former Governor Cameron
Morrison came to his rescue, just as he
had when he saved the minister from
road sentence in Charlotte for transport
ing liquor, and advised Jimison to enter
Carolina.
Wake Forest students are reported to
mourn the loss of one who was so rapidly
rising in popularity at the Baptist school.
They were not willing to see him break
ranks and go to Chapel Hill. Many of
them visiting him at his room in the Sir
Walter, in Raleigh, as soon as they found
he could not reenter. Jimison had al
ready been signed up for a series of
weekly articles in the college newspaper,
the students having become acquainted
with his vivid pen. . f . , j
Jimison has quietly settled down to
his work in the Law School here and
his coming would have been unknown to
the students had not the state papers
played it up. A Tar Heel reporter has
been on the trail of Mr. Jimison for
the last two days,' but no one seems to
know his where-abouts. Either the Uni
versity failed to get his address or the
ex-minister refused to furnish it If was
stated in Dr. Wilson's office that there
had been several demands for his ad
dress since his coming here.
The picturesque lawyer has been seen
on the campus and In Swain Hall and
is reported to have visited a certain fra
ternity house, but it seems impossible to
find him when wanted. Evidently he
prefers to remain in peace for the time
being at least , ' ' v I
CALLS FOR LAST
YEAR'S BAND MEN
Pres. Fordham Writes to Last
Year's Band.
TRAINED MEN NEEDED
Says a Good Band Is Now Indispensa-
. ..: ble At Many Occasions. .'
President Fordham, of the Student
body, in .an open letter to last year's
band men, asked for experienced men
so as to "form a backbone to this year's
band; Last . year's aggregation proved
itself a great asset to the University at
games and on all occasions when large
numbers gathered together.' , He urges
that the men go out for the band and
keep it up to the high standard of last
year, since the need is just as great now
as then. The letter follows: .
To the members of last year's band
Due to the fine work of the leader and
the individual men U. N. C. has devel
oped a band in the past two years of
which we can well be proud. The con
tribution that the band has made to
campus life has been a marked one and
I certainly hope that the band this year
will do equally as well.
The old men are the backbone of the
organization and a great deal depends
on your co-operation if we are to have
a good band this year. So, if It is in
your power to do so, stick 'by the new
leader and keep up the good work. Car
olina men are proud of their band.
good band is almost invaluable at many
of the Dig occasions in campus life and
you know that it is no little job to
build up an entirely new band each
year. Uon't forget tne wake sorest

BEGINS PRACTICE
Coaches Lowe ' and Pritchard
. Expect 'Good - Season.
SCHEDULE IS ATTRACTIVE
Squad
of " 110 Contains . Many Good
Prospects.
With the initial practice during the
latter part of last week, prospects are
unusually bright for one of the . best
Freshman football teams in the 1 history
of 'the ' University. Coaches Lowe and
Pritchard had on hand at the first practice-
something like 110 men, among
whom were many former high and prep
school stars.
. Coach Pritchard had the following to
say when he was interviewed by a Ta
Heel reporter: "At the present time it
is very hard to tell much about 1 the
strength of the team as onlylight prac
tice has been indulged in so far. It is
apparent, however, that the team will
have plenty of weight Scrimmaging
will start next week and then we can
tell more about what the real strength
of the team is going to be."
Some of the outstanding men on the
squad are: Swarti and Ford, of Char
lotte, who were mentioned for All-South
ern high school center and half-back, re
spectively; Beam, Furches, 'and Grigg,
who played on Shelby's Western cham
pionship team last year) Deadmon, of
Spencer; Shuler and Hanes, of Salis
bury; Lasslter, Howard, and Thomas,
pf Woodberry Forest; Marginoff, who
will probably' be the biggest man In
North Carolina football this year, and
Brown, from' Charleston, S. C; Roy
Williams, of Hendersonville; Satterfleld
and Hackney, from Durham; and Kelly,
from Bingham Military Institute.
Charles T. Woollen, graduate man
ager of athletics, has arranged the most
attractive and elaborate schedule that
the freshmen have ever had. The season
opens here with the University of South
Carolina Frosh on October 17, and closes
on Armistice Day with the Tar Babies
playing the University of Florida first

LARGE CROWD EXPECTED
Special Bleachers Being Erected to
Accommodate Baptist Supporters.
Coaches Bob and Bill Fetzer barred
the gates to Emerson field and initiated
the first secret practice of the year on
Tuesday afternoon. That event marked
the beginning of the final drive in prep
aration for receiving the Baptists on
the '"Hill" Saturday afternoon. With
the men in fine physical condition the
coaches are concentrating on the plans
of attack and are driving the men until
dusk settles over the field.
Special bleachers are being erected on
the opposite side of the field from the
stadium to accommodate the overflow
of the crowds that are expected to swarm
Chapel -Hill to see the game, which will
be the only game of any Importance in
the state on that date. The State Col
lege-Richmond University game and the
Elon-King College game, which were
scheduled for Saturday have been moved
up to Friday to avoid a conflict with
the game here. The entire State Col
lege team will probably witness the -Carolina-Wake
Forest encounter.
