Wieh table was considered a precinct Nominations were madeand each man ,r table wrote his choice upon a slip of paper. These were then passed to the head of the table where the chair man tabulated the results. The returns fm each table were then collected and the total vote quickly tabulated. The individual ballots were preserved and later counted as a check on the first -mint. At. the end of the smoker the new officers were introduced and Presi dent Nixon made a short talk.

"Kyke" Riser outlined the "Speak, Greet, f.f" nrmrram nf which the smoker was a part, and Williamson then introduced the speaker of the evening, Dr. Oollier nnhh. who made one of his characteristi cally interesting and entertaining speeches. i "Joe" Bobblt brought before the meet ing a plan originated by Dean Bradshaw whereby all freshmen would be re quired to wear caps until the night be fore the Carolina-Virginia game when they would be given a chance to discard them then if they could out-yell the sophomores at the "pep" meeting to be held then. This plan was heartily ap proved by the sophomores, although there was some objection to the plan and some others mentioned as possible sub stitutes. The smoker closed with a resounding yell for the class of 1928. INTRA-MUUAL SPORTS HAVE VIGOROUS START Season Opened Monday With Four Teams in Action Bell, Butter, and Wahman in Charge.

Produce Plays At Meeting of Rec reation Congress in Ashevuie Leaving Tuesday. The Carolina Playmukers are leaving Tnpsdav for Asheville, where they have been! invited to attend The Twelfth Re creation Congress, which meets October fi-10. and to present a special perform ance of Carolina Folk-Plays. They are nlannine to present Old Wash Lucas, better known as The Miser, and Goiu and Oaius, Jr. .The former was one of the plays which were featured on tne Plnvmnker's first State tour in 1921; the cast of characters has been altered but little, however. Wash Lucas will be nlnved bv Georite Denny; Ida Lucas, by Katherine Batts; Perry Lucas, by Law- Wallace: and Tim Adams, by rwi.i . Hodein. Gaius and Gaius, Jr., which was presented on the Southern tour last year, will have as its cast, fionrire Denny as Gaius Mayficld; Mar garet Jones as Mrs. Mayfield; P. L. El more as Gaius Mayfield, Jr.; uavm boo gin as Dr. Foster; and Lawrence Wal lace as Ben Tho Weereation Congress is a national gathering of civic, social "and govern leaders with professional recre- finn workers to work and play together for a week; an opportunity to exchange experiences, learn the results of experi ments, mid secure practical information; ; ,..wt flip lipRiire a change to sec m n.-.i".-t... time problems of America, to learn now .,1 uhnt individuals ami communities are doing to meet it; and above all an opportunity for fellowship with the men and women working in this challenging field. The Congress is attended by public of state and local; recrea tion executives, park superintendents, w lemlers. nhysical directors; special In miicii drum II. story-telling, com munity art; educators and authors; rural leaders; delegates from church, civic, la w nnd business groups; representatives of women's clubs all who desire to see life made more abundant through happy use of leisure. This association, which is attended by leaders from all over the country, met in nitv Inst vear. Professor Koch attended and gave a lecture on Fo k- Playmaking in Dakota and Uaronna. nus ii. i m,.Min in Asheville, and the year it to mvv....0 - i Carolina Playmakers have the signal honor of being the only dramatic group invited to attend. The work of paving the greater por tion of Franklin street, Cameron ave- Raleigh street and Columbia ave nue and of installing the new traffic con trol system is being pushed rapidly for ward in order to complete it in time for the Virginia-Carolina game. Franklin street will be 58 feet wide, Cameron avenue 24 feet, Raleigh street 30 feet and Columbia Avenue 54. This un usual width of the leading streets of the town was planned so as to accommodate the inrush of visitors attending the games and dances at the University. Co lumbia Avenue and Franklin street will be able to care for .cars parking paral lel to the curbs on both sides of the street as well as two lines of traffic mov ing in opposite directions. ' . ' , Tle wnrW nn Franklin street will be commenced within the next few days. No parking will be allowed on the street between the post-office and Columbia 'Avenue. Franklin and Raleigh streets and Columbia Avenue will be paved with concrete similar to the roads of the State Highway Commission. Cameron avenue will have an under layer of con crete and an upper layer of natural as phalt. This street will have its parking space adjoining it on account of its nar rowness. The total cost of the work, including a mile of concrete on the Pittsboro high way, will be approximately $95,000. The Zeisler Brothers, of Greensboro, were the successful bidders for the job. If possible, they will complete the work in Chapel Hill by October ,12, in time for the reopening celebsation of the Uni versity. - ' ' t The asDhalt forming the upper layer of the street is known as Kentucky rock or natural asphalt. The composi tion is mixed before leaving the factory in such a manner as to do away with the preliminary heating troubles, usually ex perienced in asphalt road construction. The natural asphalt has nearly the same wearing qualities as the old-style asphalt in addition to saving much time ana money. The new automatic traffic control sys tem will be one of the first of its type in North Carolina. Instad of the usual sin gle steel, electrically-lighted mushroom in the center of two intersecting streets there will be four," one in the center of each corner. It is hoped that this new svstem will speed up traffic considerably at the intersections of Franklin street and Coluinbia Avenue, and Columbia and Cameron Avenues, where the lights are to be placed. 73 R. K. Fowler 'Speak, meet, greet Week" has come and gone. To some it seemed a glowing ft dismal failure. The first group consisted largely of congen ially verdant freshmen ,to whom the oc casion gave ample opportunity for stlmu latine eauality as well for hailing foot- hill hemes hv their first names. The second group was composed of lazy in dividuals who find it an effort to speak to their roommates, blase wearers of the high hat and mentally inefficient young men who were able to retain only fraction of the names poured into their ears. The majority of the student body however, belonged to neither of these 4.. tactions; they spoke moderately, met temperately, greeted mildly and treated the Week as a slight nuisance that would soon be over. Nice, friendly signs dotted the campus including one specimen which inquired insinuatingly: "How many co-eds do you know? Speak, meet, greet." In spite, of this determined effort which doubtless had its origin in our newest dormitory the popularity of our feminine element does not seem to have materially in creased. More than a little propaganda is needed to overcome the bashfulness of Carolina students, to whom women in anv form are the bane of life. In certain boarding houses a haltwas called in the middle of each meal and introductions were served around the board. Cordial hands were extended across the tables, upsetting glasses of tea and seriously inconveniencing hun ttrv gentlemen as they readied for the rahhaee. The concensus of opinion seemed to be that feeding and greeting did not mix well. The prodigy who can be polite in a boarding house is yet to be discovered. Although most freshmen heartily ap tiroved of the- Little Pollyanna- Move ment a saddened few found that it brouirht dire results. After cheerfully and freely giving their name, room num her and class to everyone they met dur ing the day they were disturbed in the evening by voices outside their rooms eallinir them by their first names, think ing that a delegation from the dear old home town had dropped in to. bull, they opened up and were ftreeted by Sopho- mnres iirmed for instruction. A session with paddles followed, the paddlers in trnnneed themselves as Manly William son, Jadk Cobb., etc., and silently de parted Chapel Hill was transformed intoa (Continued on page four) To Give Concert Sunday at Four A concert will be givenun Me morial Hall at four o'clock Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the music department.

According to its annual custom, the Freshman Friendship Council held its first banquet of the year, Wednesday evening at 7K)0 o clock in the Methodist Hut. More than fifty men attended the banquet, which is said to be one of the most successful ever held. President Chase gave a most inspiring talk, pointing out emphatically the great worth and value of "Y" work, mere were also talks by Mr. Comer, J. E. Cal houn, and Mr. Morris, president of the Freshman Friendship Council at State College last year and a member of the "Y" cabinet there this year. Officers elected for the present year are: l president, Robert Harper, Char lotte; vice-president, John Anderson, Fayetteville; secretary, Lincoln Kesicr, Salisburv: treasurer, Nelson Woodson, Salisbury. Reports were received con cerning the work and activity joi ni-i cinhs lust vear in various cities, espe cially Greensboro, High Point, Chapel Hill, and Charlotte. The work of the- Freshman Friendship Council was outlined by Joe Bobbitt, toastmaster of the banquet, in the ab sence of Brookie Todd, president last year, who is not back at the Hill this year. Bob Hardee served ootn as tne asker of grace and the leader of cheers at the close Of the banquet. A savorv Brunswick stew was the out standing part of the menu, and, together with the other good things served, made up a meal that might be said to closely rival the one served at the "Y" cabinet banquet last Monday evening. It Is safe to say that everybody enjoyed the whole program thoroughly. LARGE NUMBER COME TO FRESHMAN SMOKER Vote Down Wearing of Any Sort of Freshman Cap Officers for This Year Elected. Miss Virginia Stainback, Greensboro, spent the week-end with Miss Latta. The first step in the welding together of the Class of 1929 was made Thursday niThr when more than 700 freshmen gathered in Swain Hall for their first smoker. Two co-eds were present. The chief speaker of the evening was President Chase who congratulated the men nn their fine personnel and express ed the hope that there "would be 700 of them "who liked Carolina well enough and Carolina liked them well enough" still here four years from now. "You have the raw material, but the question is: what are you going to make of It? Each of you is responsible for your suc ... . . ii M ' cess or lauure in cuuege The other fokmal speaker was Dr. English Bagby, who urged them to come to him when they felt the need or ao viee on anv sort of problem, such as inability to study, social troubles or any mental disturbance. ' "Smiattv" Thomas opened the meet ing with some cheers and the singing of "Hark, the Sound." He was followed Dy "Kike" Kvser. who explained the "fepeak nreet.Meet" eamnaicn to them. The meetimr was then turned over to Jesse Calhoun who conducted the election of class officers. v The following officers' were electedkl President. James Nixon, of Asheville; Vice-President. J. E. Slmler, of Sails bury; Secretary, Henry Satterficld, of Durham; and Treasurer, Rufus Hack nev. nf Durham. ' The nuestion of freshman caps was brought up. The first proposal was that their should wear cans until they wear hats until they beat the sophomores yell inr and rootinir. This was endorsed by hut was voted down. The second proposal was that they should (Continued on page Jour) Dr. W. C. Coker lias been appointed to act with two others on a committee to discuss the matter of making plans for the beautification of the grounds of all state institutions. He received a letter to this effect from Governor A. W. Mc Lean during the last few days asking him to meet in Raleigh for a conference upon the matter. The committee appointed for this pur pose consists of the following men: Dr. W. C. Coker, of the Botany Department of this University; Professor H. M. Curran, of State College, Raleigh; and Mr. C. D. Matthews, also of State Col lege, Raleigh. At the conference held at Raleigh the first part of the week, the matter was discussed at some length. Material tor the first report of the committee is be ing prepared. Governor McLean has received severT hi letters from state institutions calling attention to the desirability, of having some organization to make plans for rhftr work and to supervise the actual enrrvlnir out of the plans. The need " of an expert to take charge of the work was also stressed. Governor McLean stated that he knew no other person who was better fitted to fill this position Manv new buildings are going up throughout the state with no provision for planting shrubbery, grass, and trees. The nurnose of this, project is to beau lify the premises of all stute institutions, incln.linir the Canitol at Raleigh. Flans O - l are now being made for the beautifica tion and conservation of the grounds around public institutions. These plans consist of the planting of various kinds of trees, shrubbery, and grass. Dr. W. C. Coker has had adequate ex perience along this line. Here at the University he has had charge of the beautification of the grounds for some time. He is responsible for the setting out of all these trees around the campus, especially those in the court between the Quadrangle buildings and also in the court between ' Murphey and Saunders Buildings. He has vastly improved the appearance of the campus. He has di vided the uncultivated space up into neat grass plots, and has provided by gutters for the carrying off of the water winch beforehand usually collected in mudholes In the walks which had to be used by students and others passing through the camous. Several years from now, the arboretum will not be the only spot of henutv n round the campus, but the whole campus will have assumed a simi lar aspect if the plans that are now he Ing made carry through. , However, the hearty co-operation of the student body will be essential to the success of this project. LINE-UP CHANGED Shifts Made to Find a More Effective Combination, T E A M DETERMINED TO WIN Fetzerites Will Try to Make Up for Defeat Administered by Wake Forest Last Saturday. The Tar Heel football squad left the "Hill" last nicht for Columbia .where they meet the University of South Caro lina . Gamecocks this afternoon. The Fetzerites go to the Palmetto State, with the hopes of the Carolina student body behind them, determined to bring back a victory. Coaches Bob and Bill Fetzer have been making numerous changes in the first string line-up this week in an effort to find a more effective combination than the one which faced Wake Forest here last Saturday afternoon with such dis astrous results. Braswell has been -moved hearer the middle of the line and has been playing guard, while McMur ray and Dodderer have been holding the flank assignments. Robinson has been running at a tackle position instead of at guard. Shuford has also been at .the fullback position in the backfieid. These shifts in the line-up have given the team more drive and force than they have yet shown this season, and the team should show a stronger and more sus tained offensive this week-end than they did last Saturday. , The line-up of the first string practice these last few days indicate that the Fet zer brothers may start the following men against the Gamecocks: Dodderer and McMurray, ends; Morehead and Kobln- . tackles; Whisnant and Braswell, guards; Captain Mclver, center; Spar row, quarterback; Bonner and Devlu, halfbacks; and Shuford, fullback. North Carolifta Club to Meet Monday Evening The North Carolina Club will render its first regular program ot tne year Mnndav evenimr at 7:30 in Saunders Hall. Edgar T.

The meeting will then be thrown honen for questions and general discus sibn. Election of officers, which was postponed front the last meeting, will be held. The meeting will last one hour exactly. The North Carolina Club meets fort- niirhtlv on Monday evenings for discus slon of problems pertaining to the State The public is cordially invited. The club year book for 1921-25 is now off the press and is available for mem bers of the club and others who desire copies. GRAIL RECEPTION IS A BIG SUCCESS Large Attendance at Get - Ac quainted Meet Last Night. FACULTY" PARTICIPATES Punch Served From Bowls Presided ' Over by Co-eds. . The "Sneak, Meet, Greet" campaign was brought to a close last night with a reception in the Tin Can which was spon sored by the Order of the Grail. It was originully planned to hold the reception under Davie poplar, but on account of the rain is was held in the Tin Can. Due to the bad weather and the change in plans too late to notify the public, a smaller crowd than had been expected was present. The program was opened with a series of yells, after which the faculty divided into separate schools, members of the faculty of each school forming a receiv ing line and the students of their schools passing rapidly down the line and in troducing themselves to their faculty. The crowd was then divided into fresh- . . . J t man. sophomore, junior, anu senior classes, graduate students, and faculty, the members of each class introducing themselves to each other. The entire crowd was then broken up into lines irrespective of classes anu schools which formed themselves before the punch bowls which were placed at convenient points. Each punch bowl was presided over by two co-eds, and before any person was served he had to introduce himself to both of the girls at the bowl. Another feature of the meeting was the Retting acquainted that went on among the members of the faculty at the same time that the students were meeting each other. After refreshments had been served, the crowd assembled again in one .mass and eave several yells. The reception closed with the singing of "Hark the Sound." It is hoped by those that have spon sored the movement that although this gathering closed the formal campaign to re-establish the old. custom of speaking to. one another, that the practice Itself will not fall back into the state of dis use it was before this movement began.
