TAR BABIES MEET
MARYLAND FROSH
Opening Ganfe of First-String
Freshies.
EMERSON FIELD TODAY
Harry Schwartz Will Probably Play
Center.
The Carol inn Freshman Football
team will open lis 192a football season
(his afternoon on F.merson Field where
they ure .scheduled to meet the Univer
sity of Maryland Frosh. It will be re
membered that the Tar Rubies were de
feated at College Park lust year by the
close score of 13-12 and for this rea
son they will be lighting with blood in
their eyes this afternoon.
Coaches "Runt" Lowe and ' Grady
Prilchard have been drilling the boys
luird lor the past thrce weeks and they
have now gotten together what looks to
lie a very formidable eleven. With a
line which averages 190 pounds and
with a fist, hard-running backfield
which will average around 135 pounds,
they should be able., to hold their own
against uny team they run up against.
The team that starts the game this
afternoon will probably be. selected from
the following men: Williams, Brum,
ami Ellison, ends; Eby, Howard, and
Marglnoff, tackles; Schuler, Evans, and
Gregory, guards. Harry Schwartz will
probably occupy the pivot position
while Lassiter is expected to start the
game at quarter-back. In the event
that "Steve" Furches calls signals, Las
sHer will be shifted to a half-back pos
ition. The other halves will be chosen
from Hackney, Satterfleld, und Ford
while it is likely thut Kelly will start
at fullback. :
The game is expected to be very hard
fought and interesting from the begin
ning, and a large crowd will probably
be on hund to cheer the 'far Rabies on
to victory.
FROSH IRON MEN
DEFEAT SANFORD
Coxe, Ferrell, and Ledbetter
Score Four Touchdowns.
AERIAL ATTACK IS , USED
Lowe Uses Two Teams -Long Gains
on End Runs Feature. ,,
Coach Robbin Lowe's freshman
scrubs won a practice game over San
ford High school on Emerson field yes
terday afternoon by a score of 27-0.
The game was not a regular scheduled
contest as the freshman schedule allows
only five games to be played during the
season, but was arranged in order that
Coach Ixwc could get a line on his
scrub mate rial. Some excellent playing
on the part of the Carolina men was
responsible for the large score. , The
backs drove through the Une and made
long gains on end runs at fvurnerous
stages of the game.
Two touchdowns -by Coxe after long
runs were the only features of the. con
test. Touchdowns were also scored by

Coach Lowe ran two entire teams in
to the game. The whole ineup was
changed at the end and the new men
showed as much real football playing
as the first team that took the field dis
played. Hossibility that the Freshman
team will resort to the aerial game this
season was evidenced by the succesa of
the passes used in yesterdays game.

FERSON DEVISES TEST
FOR STUDENTS OF LAW
.... .
Test is an Original Idea Purpose is
to Determine if the Men Have
"Legal" Minds.
Denn M. L. Person, of the University
Law School, in collaboration with Dr.
Georce E. Stoddard and Carl E. Sea
shore, of the Department of Psychology
at the University of Iowa, m an at
tempt to determine the aptitude of stu
dents in the study of law has devised a
placement test which is being used by a
number of prominent schools and uni
versities of- the country this year.
This test is the first of its kind ever
attempted. Dean Person states, and is
an original idea with him. Placement
tests have been made and are used now
In numerous other professions, but
heretofore would-be lawyers have not
been subjected to such a test. ;
The test itself is somewhat on the
principle of the intelligence tests given
the freshmen upon entrance to the Uni
versity, but is different in thut it does
not attempt to determine the intelli
gence or studying capacity of the stu
dent. It merely tries to find out if the
men have "legal" minds and if it is
worthwhile for them to continue study
ing law.
The casualties in the law school of
students who begin law und sooji drop
out prompted Dean Person to arrange
this examination. While in Iowa this
summer, he planned the test out with
the two noted psychologists who have
prepared other tests of a similar nature,
and the test is being used at both' of the
two Institutions this year. Other
schools are ulso helping with the expe
riment. 1 Careful records are being made of
the results of the tests and the actuul
attainments and grade of these testsed
being compared with their grades on the
examination. In this way, Deun Ferson
hopes to have an accurate and efficient
placement test within the next two
years.

PIERSON STUDIES

Tours Europe and South Amer
ica Under Kenan Foundation.
SEES TWO REVOLUTIONS
Impressed with Love of Liberty In
Latin Peoples.
Revolutions in two countries in which
he was conducting investigations
into the social and political con
ditions are among the most Interesting
"studies" reported by Prof. W. W. Pier
son, University instructor in history and
government, who has just returned from
a year's study under the Kenun Founda
tion in South America and southern
Europe.
. While in Spain, . Prof. Pierson wit
nessed the RLveria dictatorship with the
militarists in power, and when he later
visited Rrazil 'he found that country
upturned and in turmoil over one of
the frequent revolutions which periodi
cally occur in Latin American countries.
In both of these upheavels, however,
the local professor luckily escaped In
jury.' .
Prof. Pierson's studies carried him in
to practically every South American
country and into parts of southern
Europe, since a study of Latin Ameri
can history would naturally lead back
to Spain. His itinerary included: Peru,
Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Por?
tugul, Spain, and France and a visit en
route to Cuba and the Canal Zone.
Purposes of Travel
The purposes of these extensive travels
was 'to make a study of these institutions
in the southern continent and to en
gage in historical research in those
countries. During these studies, much
interesting matter was brought to light,
and material was gathered for a book
which the professor will begin work on
shortly.
Material with a definite bearing on
North Carolina history was collected
in the archives at Madrid, Seville, and
Simancas for the North Carolina His
torical Commission, the professor stated.
These dealt with the frontier disputes
ind events from about 178S to 1795 in
volving Spain and this state when Spain
was in control of the Mississippi Valley,
nd other happenings in which North
Carolina and Florida were involved dur
ing the early part, of the eighteenth
century. .
Among the interesting studies which
the professor made were: in Peru, the
social and legal problems of the modern
Indians whom he declares are In a bad
fix; the Chilean struggle for indepen
dence from Spain; in Argentina, the
power of the federal Intervention in
provincial government; in Brazil, the re
lation of federal and state governments;
and in Spain, colonial institutions. The
new constitution of Uruguay with its
separation of executive and administra
tive powers, which the local professor in
vestigated is declared to be a most nov
el experiment in government and is be
ing carefully watched by other govern
ments, so Prof. Pierson brought out.
The book which the Professor plans
to write will deal with late colonial

NAVY BAND HERE

Concert.
SEATS ON SALE MONDAY
Band Being Brought , Here by Music
y Department. '
The music department has completed
plans'' which bring the United States
Naval Academy Band here for two
concerts on October 22. ;
No organization in the United Stules,
perhaps in the world, has reached such
eminence in the realm of music in such
a short time as the Navy band. Rank
ing now in the vanguard of military and
concert bands, .this ensemble of musici
ans has crowded into little more than
six years a history that is far richer in
successful endeavor and number of ob
stacles overcome than is usuul in a cen
tury if like enterprise. It is the .official
band" of the "Mayflower," the presi
dent's privute yacht; it has accompan
ied the chief executives of the country
on trips away from the capital. On
the ill-starred Alaskan trip with Presi
dent Harding, the Navy musicians' fur
nished all the concerts. In the funeral
procession of the late president the
company held a place of honor. When
President Coolidge retired to his
summer home at Swampscott, the Navy
band accompanied him. These men
play frequently "at the White House;
their last appearance there was on the
occasion of one of Mrs. Coolidge's gar
den parties. They constitute the offi
cial band of the Secretary of the Navy,
for whose department they furnish ull
music programs. The personnel of the
band is composed almost .entirely of
men under forty years of age. .
extraordinary ability to secure services
of the foremost soloists and musicians
in the country. By reason of its high
musical standards and prestige, musici
ans of great talent, receiving large com
pensation on the concert stage and in
civilian orchestras, are glad to forego
higher salaries for the benefits to be
derived artistically from association
with the high-rating Government band.
Impressed by the great popularity at
tained by Lieutenant Charles Renter's
company and aceding to a multitude
of requests for personal appearances of
the organization in numerous cities,
President Coolidge signed a special act
of Congress authorizing 'the first civil
ian tour of his official band. It is
thought that the chief executive's es
timation of higher music as an impor
tant factor in the cultural develop
ment of the nation was an influence
toward this decision which breaks a pre
cedent for the government official
corps.

,As has been the case for the
past few years a special discount
will be given to students having
the pictures made while Mr.
Moulton is here in the fall. The
Yackety-Yack is enabled to make

All students must make, an
appointment to have their pic

of the Yackety-Yack will be sta

down town to make these ap
pointments, f
It has been decided to use
group photographs of the fra
ternities this year instead of
mounting individual photographs
on a backboard as has been done
in the last two books. This
move will eliminate the neces
sity to a number of sophomores
of having their pictures taken.
RULES ON GRATS
ARE EXPLAINED
Ten Unexcused Absences Drop
' Student From Class.
SAME RULE FOR CHAPEL
Leaving Class After Waiting Five Min
v utes for Professor Traditional.
Contrary to the idea prevalent among
most of the students on the campus that
there Is a University ruling allowing
students to leave the classroom after
waiting for the professor five minutes,
It seems that there is no such ruling.
There is, however, a campus tradition
to this effect which has been practised
for some time. . .
As there seems to be some misunder
standing on the campus as to the number
of "grats" allowed a man and the effect
upon his grade for the course, an effort
is being made to clear this up. The
nrsf rule regarding these ''grats" Is
that ny man having ten unexcused ab
sences registered against him on a
course shall ' be automatically dropped
from that course. In the case of hulfJ
courses the number of absences required
to drop a man is only six.
When at least half of these tea abt
sences are excused the student will not
be dropped. Excuses are granted by th
University physician for sickness and
by the registrar for leaves of ubseae
from the Mill.
When a student has three unexcused
"grats" against him on a full course or
two on a half-course the Registrar will
notify the Dean of his College or Schook
A student who has been dropped by reat
son of unexcused absences from enough
classes to reduce his schedule to one
course he will be suspended from th
University for the remainder of the
quarter. These rules do not apply to
those fifty Juniors and Seniors in th
School of Liberal Arts who are on th
Dean's list until their average grad
drops below a R. As yet there hal
been no Dean's list issued this quarter
its continuance being dependant upon
the action of the faculty in its meeting
next Friday.
No student may "grat" a class with
out excuse on the day Immediately pre
ceding or the day immediately follow
ing any holiday. Any one doing so will
be put on probation for thirty days.
Any student dropping a course without
permission will receive a grade of P
on that course.
As to chapel attendance the rules are
somewhat similar, except that Juniors
and Seniors arc not required to attend
chapel exercises Freshmen are required
to attend every week day except Sat
urday, while Sophomores must attend
on Mondays and Fridays. Freshmen
are allowed eight unexcused absences,
Sophmores only three. One more than
the number allowed puts a student on
probation; two will suspend him.

SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY
HOLDS 282ND MEETING
Coker and MacNider Make Interesting
Talks to Members of Elisha
Mitchell Society.
The members of the Klislui Mitchell
Scientific Society heard two very Inter
esting talks at the lust meeting of the
society on Tuesday night In Phillips
Hall. This was the 22nd meeting of
the society. A fairly large crowd at
tended the .lectures.
The first talk on the program was a
lecture entitled "The Influence, of Preg
nancy on the Stability of the Acid-Rase
equilibrium of the Hlood" by Dr. Wil
liams deB. MucNidcr. This was a clear
and concise talk, and was eagerly listen
ed to by the audience.
The second was a talk by Dr. W. C.
Coker, Professor in the Botany Depart
ment, on "Some Remarkable New Fungi
from. Chapel Hill Soil." Dr. Coker
brought out the fact that Chapel Hill
soil has been studied by all kinds of
people with various interests and mo
tives. He stated that four new species
of fungi have been found in Chapel Hjll
slot which are not found in any other
part of the ' world. Dr. Coker's talk
was very plain, and he made it even
clearer by accurate blackboard illustra
tions. Both of the above talks were very
profitable to the society.
