Demon Deacons
And Tar Heels Meet
On Emerson Field
EXPECT A CROWD
Initial Encounter of Season for
Both Teams.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS ARE GIVEN
Tar Heels and Supporters Are Determ
ined Gharrity Men Shall Not Re
peat Last Year's Performance.
Carolina's ' football season will open
this afternoon at 3:00 when the' Wake
Forest team and attendant spectators
invade Chapel Hill. Since the invaders
won the state championship last year,
the result of today's game will be of
great importance in predicting the hold
er of the title this year. The price of
general admission will be $1.60.
First Southern Game.
One autumn afternoon thirty-six years
ago a team of eleven husky youths from
the University of North Carolina lined
up on the football field, facing another
team from ; Wake Forest College in
the first game of inter-collegiate football
ever played in the South. When the
smoke of battle cleared away from over
that field the fighting Tar Heels, led by
Captain Steve Bragaw, had crossed the
Baptist goal line for six touchdowns
and a 33 to 0 victory.
. That team of Tar Heels initiated with
their wedge formations and straight line
plunging a string of victories over the
Baptists that has been broken only once
during the entire series between the
two colleges, and that was last year
when "Flash" Greason flashed down the
field for sixty-seven yards and a 7 to 6
win. ;
Today another team of Tar Heels led
by another fighting captain will face an
other team of Baptists, nick-named the
Demon Deacons, and when Captain Her
man Mclver leads his warriors out on
Emerson Field this afternoon, every
man'01 go out with the determination
that Greason shall not lead his Deacons
to another win.
Just what the Tar Heel chances for a
win are cannot be stated, but if spirit
can do anything then Wake Forest bad
as well not make the pilgrimage to the
"Hill". Without any feeling of over
confidence, the Hillians are facing the
game without any fear as to the out

STRICTER CHECK
LAW THIS YEAR
Given Forty-Eight Hours to
' Make Check Good.
HANDLED THROUGH DEAN
Decrease in Number of Bad Checks
Since Former Revision.
The bad check law, begun year before
last and revised last year, has been made
even more strict this year. Formerly,
students who broke this rule were called
before the council; the new rule pro
vides that the student must go before
the council voluntarily if he thinks he
has been mistreated.
All of the work is in charge of the
Student Council and all of the clerical
work is handled through the office of
the Dean of Students. The main pro
visions of the bill are as follows:
In case a student gives a check which
is returned for any reason, he is imme
diately given notice of the fact. If he
does not make his check good within
48 hours after he receives the notice, he
is automaticaly suspended from classes
until he does make it good. After he has
made the check good he must give evi
dence to his dean that it is good and this
fact must be checked through Dean
Bradshaw's office.
The first offense puts the offender on
probation with the Student Council un
less there is some unavoidable reason
for his error. , On the second offense the
student is automatically suspended by
order of the Council, with the privilege
of! appealing to the Council within five
days. If appeal is not made within five
days the student is absolutely suspended.
This appeal is entirely voluntary and
must be made by the student before the
Council in session.
, This law was started In the Spring
quarter of 124' to fill a badly felt need.
Many . of the' students had become so
careless with their checks that the mer
chants and dealers of Chapel Hill were
somewhat hesitant about taking them. It
was revised last year and the number of
bad checks decreased very noticeably.
It' has been revised again with the hope
that this evil will continue to decrease.

OLD SOUTH NEAR
END OF JOURNEY
Center Campus Tradition Prob-
v ably to be Razed.
NOT YET DECIDED UPON
New Building Cheaper Than Cost of
Remodeling Old Structure.
, Old South building, most venerable of
the structures on the campus, and seat
of the University's tradition, is in immi
hent -danger of being razed in favor of
a new and modern structure,
The building, now used as a dormitory,
has long been in a dilapidated state and
is right now in a very bad way. Infor
mation was given out during last spring
that the building was to be remodelled
during the summer and converted into
an admiinstration building. The cost of
this work, it was found, would exceed the
cost of tearing it down and replacing it
with a new structure.
According to estimates submitted to
the University, a new building, identi
cally like the Old South, can be erected
for $174,000, while to remodel the pres
ent building will cost $200,000. It is
claimed that the bricks of which it is
built are of inferior quality and that
work would have to be done ori the foun
dation.
The building was formerly the admin
istration building and in it is located
the University bell. It is nearer the
center of the campus than Alumni build
ing, and the executive branch of the Uni
versity has been casting longing eyes on
it for quite a while. The building was
erected in 1798 and the funds for its
erection were derived from a lottery,
said to have been one of the last to have
been held in the state.
PAULSEN CALLS FOR
BETTER COOPERATION
Laundry Now Working Overtime-
Deliveries Unavoidably Late This
Week Warning Is Issued.
"It is absolutely necessary," says
"Dean" Paulsen, director of the univer
sity laundry, "that every student have
the laundry list filled out properly with
name and initials in full and registration
number and address plainly written."
Failure to do this is liable to result in
loss of articles. The laundry list should
be made out carefully, and each article
listed. No one should send in borrowed
laundry to the laundry, as this is strictly
against the rules.
All students are cautioned to have
their soiled linen ready when called for
by the agents, as laundry bundles are
accepted through the agents only.
Although the machinery in the laundry
has been shifted to handle the work fast
er, the laundry is crowded to overflowing
with work, and the laundry crew is at
present working as late as 10 P. M. and
after. One has to literally pick his way
through the huge masses of clothes which
are to be laundered. Due to this large
amount of work to be done and also be
cause of the scarcity of laundry help
available, the dormitory bundles will be
returned about ten hours late this week,
but the superintendent assures return of
all bundles before tonight.

EXPLANATION OF WORK
Description of Work Being Done Dur
ing Year is Given.
For the benefit of those who are not
fully acquainted with the work of the
Y. M. C. A., Mr. Comer has issued the
following:
The casual onlooker perhaps sees little
else of the Y. M. C. A. but the build
ing, the reading room, the self-help of
fice, the information bureau, the direc
tory, the freshman bible, the ice water
barrel, the parlor and piano, Speak-Meet-Greet
Week, the steering commit
tees for new students, and a few other
of the surface or !more physical features
of the "Y's'' activities, but there are far
more important phases that lie under
neath the surface of it all, important as
the above-mentioned items of program
may seem.
The Cabinet would have the whole
campus look deeper into the meaning
and purpose of the entire program, and
invites any and every man who will to
come in and ask for an assignment in
the point of activity he finds most inter
esting. In order to operate the work of
the "Y" it is necessary for the student
body to throw some of their dollars into
the work, and the campaign is to give
every man that opoprtunity, but even
more earnestly we solicit your active co
operation in the program outlined be
low which is in operation at the present
time:
Departments in Operation
1. Social Department Receiving new
students Providing entertainments and
social leadership to students at 'large. .
2. The Building Home and club house
to every Carolina man Service office;
Reading room, parlor, committee rooms,
etc. . j "
3. Self-Help Bureau Providing em
ployment and various forms of self-help
assistance to over 700 students.
4. Information Bureau "Y" office is
general information bureau to visitors,
students and all, including long distance
calls and telegrams.
5. Chapel The "Y" has always had
a leading part in taking care of, Chapel.
(Continued on page four)
GOAL OVER $4,000
Workers Will Gather in Chapel
of the Cross Before Drive.
HOPE TO GO OVER THE TOP
Drive Will be Intensive and Completed
Monday Night Students Asked'
to be in Rooms.
The "Y" campaign, with a goal of
$4,250, will open with a banquet held at
the Episcopal church parish house on
Monday evening at 7 o'clock. With
speeches by Dr. Chase, Dr. Venable,
Prof. Frank Graham and Mr. Comer,
together with special musical features,
the program promises to be very inter
esting. An attractive menu, served by
co-eds, will accompany the talks.
) At the meeting of the men on Thurs
day evening who are to take part in
the campaign, captains were elected for
the 25 five-man teams, each of whom
will attend the banquet and make plans
for the campaign proper. Each team
will have its own field and a canvass will
be made from room to room that same
night. Students are asked to remain
in their rooms until they have been seen,
and have contributed their share to the
fund.
This campaign is an annual affair. In
the past some of them have succeeded
and others have failed, due largely to
the attitude of the first-year men. It
is hoped that the members, of the fresh
man class will understand the need for
their assistance and will help put across
the campaign better than in any pre
vious year.
