JUNIOR SMOKER Swain Hall ' Tonight 9:00 P.M. SENIOR SMOKER . Carolina Inn Tonight 9:00 P.M. a VOLUME XXXIV CHAPEL HILL, N. C, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1925 NUMBER 5 Tar Heels Go Down In Defeat Again to D emon D e a c o ns ONETOUCHDOWN Belated Aerial Attack Gives Visitors the Game. EIGHT THOUSAND SPECTATORS Robinson Stars Linemen for Both , Teams Do Outstanding Play ing of the Game. Eight thousand North State football funs braved the heat of a late September sun and packed the stands and bleachers on Emerson Field to overflowing here last Saturday afternoon to see the Wake Forest Deacons repeat their last year's stunt of setting the Carolina Tar Heels down to defeat in the curtain-raiser of the state football season. A belated aerial attack and a blocked punt late in the final period of play gave the Deacons tlieir touchdown for a 6 to 0 win. The game was called for three o'clock, , but long before that time the' lines form ed before the ticket windows and the crowds began to filter into the big con crete stands to secure the best seats. By ' lime for the first whistle the stands and emergency bleachers were packed and the overflow crowd fringed the playing field on all sides. The gold-jerseyed Baptist eleven took the field first and limbered up with a light signal drill, but the Tar Heels ap peared soon afterward and the Carolina stands rose in a body to welcome the team. Captain Mclver won the toss and elected to defend the western goal, tak ing advantage of the sun at that end of the field. The first quarter soon settled down to a punting duel between Fordham and Sparrow, of Carolina, and Rackley, the .Baptist field general, with neither having a visible advantage.' The Deacon backs gained more ground during the first pe riod, but Carolina showed the way in scrimmage gains during the remainder of the contest. - . (Continued on page four) .

Saturday evenine, followine the came with Wake Forest, the order of the Grail gave its first dance of the season in Bvnum Gvmnasium. Although the dancers were hampered to some extent bv the heat and the crowded condition of the floor, the affair was not lacking in pep and joviality. lhe attendance number exceeds that of any Grail dance given in former years. Added attrac tion was furnished by the presence of manv new and attractive damsels in ad dition to the set of "regulars" who gen erally compose the feminine element of these dances. The strains furnished by Hal Kemp and his orchestra were more than satisfactory. It was with pleasure that such experienced and popular play ers as Ben Williams and "Saxy" Dowell were noted among the musicians. Amone those dancine were: Herman High and Louise Mason, Jack Cliif and Frances Mason. H. B. Satterfteld and Avis Lucas, S. W. Davis and Estelle Lawspn, Robert McGee and Beryl Jones, M. S. Clifton.

DI SENATE HAS INAUGURAL RITES President Bledsoe Makes Ad dress to Small Audience. INITIATE NEXT MEETING Endorses "Speak-Meet-Greet Week" and Starts Practice. President Taylor Bledsoe made his in augural address before a small number of members last Saturday night in the Di hall. Acting president Crowell opened the meeting, and asked Senator Stevens to escort the president-elect to the plat form where he Was sworn in. In his inaugural address, the new president recalled the days when, all Carolina students belonged to either the Di or the Phi. President Bledsoe be lieves carelessness and lack of support on the part of the student body to be re sponsible for the decline of the literary societies here. He urged all of the mem bers to take an active part in the work of the society this year and to make it a year of accomplishments. , A person gets out of anything jufit what he puts into it, the new president reminded the Di members in urging them to work hard for the society. After the inaugural address, the min utes of the initial meeting were read and approved, and the treasurer's re port was read. New committees for the year were appointed, and some an nouncements made. It was announced that freshmen would be initiated neit Saturday, and that a smoker would be given soon. i Just before adjournment, the Di went on record as heartily endorsing the "Speak-Meet-Greet Week" program of the Y, and all members present started the program by shaking hands and in troducing themselves to each other.

REVIEWER FAVORABLY IMPRESSED WITH FIRST ISSUE OF THE MAGAZINE The First Issue of the Carolina Magazine Is Thought Better Than Average Issue of Last Year Editorial Policy ' for Coming Year Promises Inter esting Issues. By Beach The Carolina Magazine has made its first appearance of the year, to be read by the few and rejected by the many. The following concise and somewhat lauddatory summary of its contents is dedicated to those who will investigate no further than the highly ornamental broken-color cover design. We feel that their prejudice against literature, even in the harmless collegiate form, should not blind them to the fact that Editor Couch has turned out a moderately in teresting and well balanced inaugural issue. Externally the Magazine has re come a trifle larger; internally it easily equals if not surpasses the Magazine of last year which almost caused the "Cross roads" to discard his cynical pose and become enthusiastic. The place of honor is rightfully as signed to a sketch entitled "There Is No Place Like Home". A hasty first read ing makes one wonder how any sane edi tor could include such a puerile and im mature attempt in his publication. A careful second reading reveals it as an unintentional masterpiece. The childish spelling, the liberal use of trivial phrases scrupulously enclosed by quota tion marks, the pathetic feints at so phistication, the ingenuous way in which of no importance are magnified, all com bine to form a gem of unconscious hu mor. No doubt the unknown author was intensely serious and considered his ridiculous tale an excellent bit of writ ing; this makes it all the more amusing. We can not understand 'how he has re mained so charmingly naive in the de generating atmosphere of a godless University. P. G. Grant writes sympathetically of the old river boat captains who made their living carrying freight until the advent of railroads ruined their trade. We envy him his friendship with such a delightful old character as Captain Wes ley Moore. "Idols", a short story by R. K. Fow ler, is marred by several evident weak nesses'. In the first place, the meager plot is merely the background for an ex tremely improbable study in individual PICKWICK GIVES GOLD SHOES TO TRACK MEMBERS V . Eighteen Letter Men Receive Handsome Trophies Baser balls to be Given Later. ? ; REEVES LEADS CHEERING Old Carolina Cheer Leader Returns for Saturday's Game Gives out Shoes to Team. Saturday night at the Pickwick the atre, "Scrubby" Reeves, former Caro lina cheer leader, celebrated his return to the Hill by presenting the members of last year's varsity track team with gold track shoes. These trophies were given by the management of the Pick wick theatre. (' Each shoe bears the name of its wear er and the year in which it was won. They diffev from those given last year in that they are flat. Eighteen of these trophies were given out Saturday night. It was announced that due to the ab sense of so many of the baseball players the gold baseballs, also donated by the Pickwick, would not be given out until later in the year. Before presenting the shoes "Scrubby" made a few remarks regarding the Tar Heel fighting spirit. He also led a yell for the team in the same old peppy man ner that the old timers tell us was so characteristic of the "Scrubby" of 1921- 1922. Men receiving the gold track shoes are as follows: Dale Ranson, miler, captain of last year's team; Charlie Jonas, half-miler, captain-elect; Holt Moore, hurdles; Giersch, . dashes and ( hurdles; McPher son, dashes; Teague, dashes;" Edwards, quarter; Bell, mile; Buchanan mile; Goodwin, two-mile; Lambeth, two-mile; Smiley, pole vault; Corbett, pole vault; Fordham, weights; Ambrose, high jump; Woodard, broad jump; Barber, javelin throw; and Purser, two-mile. Several of these men are not in school this quar ter but their shoes will be forwarded to them. Mrs. John M. Booker is spending sev eral weeks in the mountains. After a visit to Mrs. Will White in Morganton, she spent a week with Miss Elizabeth Taylor, who is having a vacation in Mor ganton before returning to New York for the winter. - Combek psychology. Secondly, in one spot it borders periously upon the Sunday school type of story in which the drunk en father staggers home to abuse his lit tle ones. Lastly, he casts one or two unnecessary slurs on the cause of the Confederacy. In spite of these faults, the story is well above the average and without needless verbosity works up to a powerful conclusion. "The Man Who Yelled", by Roland F. Jones, is far from good. Laden with cheap philosophy, strained realism, and a mass of adverbs dangling on the end of its sentences, the story creaks along to its stupid and obvious destination. Mr. Jones seems to have read widely of stylistic novels and to fancy that he also is a stylist. He isn't. He shovels out words in indiscriminate lumps and wal lows through long and vacuous diatribes against monotony and drabness; his story is both monotonous and drab. Hill Yarborough contributes an ex cellent article on "College; The Life and the Novel". Anyone -who has read some highly colored novel of collegiate activi ties must have pondered on how differ ently things happen at the dear old University. In the novel, all its sparkle and brilliance. In reality, the sparkle and brilliance is considerably dimmed by boring classes, financial hardships and incompetent ' professors. Mr. Yarbo rough senses this and treats the subject in a comprehensive and pleasingly satiri cal way. One or two of his quotations, however, are singularly pointless. ; As to the editorials, they are vigorous and forceful. If Editor Couch holds to his stated policy the Magazine should al ways be entertaining if not precisely ed ucational. The Pasture contains some gems of thought culled from the writ ings of Charles F. Bluske, Inventor and Expert on Applied Power, also undoubt edly Religious Fanatic and Semi-lunatic, who asserts that a jackass, a skunk and a hog would, if tied together, equal an evolutionist. Never has the Patture exhibited 'such enormous bulls. A suc cessful issue is the verdict , and, praise Allah, a punctual one. I GEORGE ROBINSON w m 1 fen i-f r 1 Playing right guard Saturday Robin son was the star on the University team and outplayed any linesman on either team. It was reported at the beginning of the season that Robinson would not return, but his late appearance has done much to save the Carolina .line. OXFORD DEBATERS ARE COMING HERE Will be Here About the Fourth of November. PLANS FOR LONG TRIPS One Long Trip is to be Taken During Each Quarter. ( A. debate with Oxford University is the outstanding' feature of the 1925-20 debate program of the University of North Carolina. The Debate Council has arranged to have the' English team here on or about November 4, in a strict ly Oxford Union plan debate, with two Oxford men and one Carolina man tak ing one side and one Oxford man and two Carolina men taking the other. The question to be discussed is the whole question of an International Court of Justice. . Last year the Oxford Union plan of debating was partially tried in Chapel Hill. However, the Oxford-Carolina de bate, is to be a real Oxford Union plan affair, with the object being to get at the heart of the question and not to see which school can out-argue the other. The audience will ask questions and sub mit ideas that will count for one side or the other, and in the end render its de cision us to which side of the question was most convincingly put across. The Oxford team is composed of grad uate students who are familiar with in ternational affairs, and are to make an extensive tour of this country for at least one month, possibly two or three. In this debate, and in all others with colleges having graduate schools, the debute council has decided to allow grad uate students to be eligible for the team. This is a departure from last year's rul ing. The plans for the entire year huve also been changed in many respects, all in the hope, and with the intention, of raising debating at Carolina to a higher level. During the winter quarter there is to be one big trip and program, which will take in the Washington and Lee-Johtis Hopkins-Carolina triangle. There will be a large northern trip, on which trip will come the W. & L. debate, ulong (Continued on page four) ! RAMESES DIES DURING HOT SUMMER MONTHS Varsity Squad Is Left Without Serv ices of a Mascot Pedigeed Ram Served Last Fall and Winter. Rameses, the pedigreed Ram that acted as mascot for the University foot ball team last fall, is dead and the var sity squad is without the service of a mascot The Ram was left at the Medi cal Building for the summer and when Assistant Cheer Leader , Bob Hardee called for him at the beginning of the football season he was Informed that the Ram had died. The animal was bought last fall by Mr. Woollen and served through the football and basketball seasons. It was reported that he was to have an apart ment in the Graham Memorial Building, upon its completion, but work on the structure was halted and Rameses was penned up under Caldwell Hall. BIG GATHERING OF CELEBRITIES FOR CELEBRATION University to Observe Re-opening After Civil War On October 12. CLOSED 4 YEAR PERIOD Battle's History of the University Gives Interesting Story of New Start. Probably the largest gathering of na tionally prominent figures which Caro lina has ever witnessed will gather for the celebration of; the semi-centennial of the re-opening of the ' University after the Civil War, which will be held on Oc tober 12," plans for which are now com plete. The nearness of this celebration which is attracting so many celebrities makes it interesting to delve into the historical background of the re-opening in 1875, All during the four years of the Civil Wur the doors of the University never closed, despite the fact that before the end nearly all of its students had become soldiers. Carolina's war record Is a spotless one. But the trying days of Reconstruc tion proved to be a harder storm for the educational institutions of the South . to weather than the war itself. Dis torted economic conditions, jSistrust of public officials, and lack of financial sup port by the state legislature all made it- impossible for the University to con-, tinue in session. Consequently, after the failure of numerous attempts on the part of its friends to keep it going, it was forced to close its doors in 1871. For four years there was no such in stitution as the University of North Carolina. But In 1875 the necessary support was forthcoming and the Uni versity was given a fresh start. The for mal re-opening was held on September 15, 1875, and a joyful occasion it was. Due to the fact that this date fell be fore the opening of the fall quarter and that every year Founders Day is cele brated on October 12, the semi-centennial is being celebrated on the latter date. At the time of the re'-opening Dr. Charles Phillips was chairman of the faculty. In speaking of the occasion in his "History of the University" Dr. Kemp P. Battle, the next president, comments that the ceremony was "emi nently successful." Quoting Dr. Battle in detail: " ".. "The numerous visitors were sur prised and gratified at the renovation of buildings and grounds effected un der the direction of the chairman of the committee on. repairs, Mr. Cameron. Mrs. Spencer called to her aid the young la dies of Chapel Hill and decorated the chapel with exquisite taste. The por traits of great men of the University borrowed from the two societies Davie, Caldwell, and Swain, Mitchell, and Phil lips, Hawks and Badger, Ruffln, Gra ham, and Manly were hung on the (Continued on page four) GIMGIIOULS MAY GET VALDESIANS Negotiations With Stone Work ers to Build Lodge. P R E-ARTHUR IAN CASTLE Plans Drawn By Courtland Curtis, Former Carolina Student. The Order of Gimghouls may get the Valdesians, members of the French colony at Valdese, irf Burke county, to come here to do the work on the stone castle that they plan to build at Piney Prospect on the edge of Battle Park. The reason for importing these workers is that there are among them a group of stone workers of rare skill. These are the same men that put up the celebra ted Scely home near Asheville. Negotiations are being made by T. F. Ilickerson with these people with re gard to bringing them here when the Or der is ready to begin construction. , Excavation for the building is in prog ress now and large piles of rock are ready to be made Into the walls. If they do come, they will probably camp in the woods near the site of the building. The building was designed by Court land Curtis, who ' was a student here twenty-five years ago and was a mem ber of the Gimghouls, and who Is now teaching architecture at Tulane Univer sity. ' His conception of the CUding is one of remote mediaeval character probably pre-Arthurlan. The outstand ing feature is a circular tower, close beside which will be a smaller tower containing a winding stairway leading to the roof.
