Fraternity Rushing Season Is
Cause of Much Strife Amonl
The Greek Letter Warriors
OLD RULES IN USE
Large Freshman Class Offers
Wealth of Desirable Material
for the Various Chapters
SEASON LASTS 5 WEEKS
As usual,, this year's fresh
man class is bigger,; more in
telligent, and in all respects bet
ter than any of its predecessors
.Modern methods have reached
ven Chapel Hill, and fraterni
ties at the University are being
forced into the adoption of less
conventional (and less South
ern) methods of procedure 'in
Tushing. Sponsors in fraternity
meetings for a particular fresh
man, instead of quietly affirm
ing that he has known the rushee
all his life, waxes quite eloquent
over the fact that brother Dee,
-of Oregon Gramma chapter,
favorably recommended said
freshman, and therefore the
chapter at dear old N. C. U. must
liave him at all costs.
Facetiousness aside, f this
.year's rushing situation presents
an entirely novel and different
aspect to harassed Greeks.
Xiodges are swamped with rec
ommendations, each fraternity
having from fifty to two hun
dred on file. Anxious and in
quisitive upperclassmen try to
ascertain just where a reccom
memded first year man named
Pike is rooming, and when said
Pike hasn't, a date. . So ; far,
however, the actual rushing is
merely preliminary fraterni
ties are attempting to find out
just how certain freshmen are
"going over" with rival houses
and the campus in general; the
dependable stock of frosh foot
ballers is at par, while the meek,
unobtrusive, yearlings who is
fated to be a Senior class presi
dent and Golden Fleece is pas
sing unnoticed to his classes.
The respective houses are fairly
quiet, with the juniors and sen
iors even making a partial at
tempt to study, while a few con
cerned sophomores make "dates"
and arrange for a week-end trip.
In short, the warfare isn't any
thing like what it is going to be,
and the hostile camps are merely
engaged in veiled preparations.
In some cases, there appears
an utter lack of concern. At the
first meeting of the Pan-Hellenic
Council Thursday night, none
of the representatives seemed to
Jknow just when the rushing sea
.son is terminated, and when the
supposed period of silence be
gins. Newly-elected President
Charile Rouss, succeeding Mar
vin Wilson, announced another
meeting of the Pan-Hellenic's
august body before a definite an
nouncement would be made as
to the pledging date, as last
year's regulations and improve
ments would have to be procured
from the faculty Committee.
However. eveh a meeting is an
indication of an upward trend in
fraternity activities and conse
quently rushing possibly more
than the usual quota of fresh
men will find rides to today's
Wake Forest game in upper
classmen's flivvers !
Yackety-Yack Try-outs

toral and Art staffs on the

SEISMOGRAPH IS
TO BE INSTALLED
HERE VERY SOON
Dr. Cobb Is Completing Arrange
ments to Purchase Elaborate
New Equipment .
WILL BE IN NEW EAS
The installation of a seismo
graph at the University for the
registering of earth tremors wil
be arranged soon when Dr. Col
lier Cobb of the Geology depart
ment completes his plans for the
financing of the instrument,
This improvement with the re-
modeling of New East will make
the Geology department conform
to the ideals which Dr. Cobb has
held for a long time.
The-new instrument will en
able the University to receive
first hand evidence of earth
quakes and other disorders aris
ing below the earth. Heretofore
this information had to come
from stations in the North and
East. '
The type of seismograph to be
placed here was designed by i
famous Japanese scientist, Omo
ri. The Bausch and Lomb Com
pany are the makers.
The ground preparations for
the installation of the instru
ment has been made at the east
end of New East. YVelldiggers
went 26 1-2 feet in the ground
Detore they struck rock; upon
which concrete columns were
laid for the rests of the lower
part of the seismograph. Earth
tremors will be registered on the
dial at the top of the instrument.
While digging the well the
workmen were delayed for a
while when they struck water.
Pumps were employed to enable
the work to continue.
New East is under speedy re
construction and it is expected
to be complete at the end of the
Christmas holidays. . The long
delay due to legislative measures
is at an end and prospects for a
better Geology department look
rosey.

Tryouts for the Business

zine will be held at the Pub
lications Offices in the

tion and a more successful year's
work than ever before.

ton, Whiteville, Wilmington, and
Rockingham. Mr. B. A. Stevens
will take the western part of the
state, conducting two classes in

Mosher. His towns will be Mon
roe, Wadesboro, Newtdn, and

Saunders Hall Monday

Methodist Church Had
A Social Thursday Night
The Methodist-church held a
reception for new students
Thursday night from 8:30 to
10:00. In spite of the Dempsey-
Tunney fight a good crowd at
tended the affair nd inaugurat
ed the social season of the Meth
odist church. The Methodist
Sunday School orchestra furn
ished anenjoyable part of the
entertainment. .
The reception was planned for
the purpose of getting the local
congregation acquainted with
the new students, especially
those who belong to the Metho
dist Church.
Interest manifested" by new
students indicate that they will
value their association with
members of the Methodist
Church throughout their stay at
the University.
The sponsors of the North
Carolina Club are very enxious
that all old. members be present
at the first meeting of the new
year which is to be held Monday
evening at 7:30 o'clock in 112
Saunders. An invitation to at
tend is also extended to all
Freshmen and Upperclassmen,
not already members, who are
interested in the civic, economic
and social problems of the state.
Freshmen are eligible for mem
bership in the Club.
One of the features of Mon-
1 day's meeting will be the elec
tion of a nominating committee
which will make, its report at
the next meeting. The list of
subjects to be discussed this
year and the speakers for Mon
day evening were printed in
Thursday's edition of THE TAR
HEEL.
The long awaited clash be
tween Carolina and Wake For
est that is scheduled to come off
this afternoon, will mark the
beginning of another Southern
Conference football season. As
the top of the lid goes off, the
eye of ail the sport followers in
North Carolina will be turned
expectantly towards Gore field
becadse regardless of who wins,
the game will mark a classic in
history as the advent of the not
ed Notre Dame system of foot
ball to local sport circles.
The exodus of Carolina stu
dents from the "Hill" this morn
ing bound for Wake Forest, the
parsonage of the fighting Dem
no Deacons, promises to over
shadow the famous exodus of
the Isrealites from Egypt in the
days of long ago. A special
train, trucks, private cars, fliv
vers, and all other means of
transportation will be drafted
for service in conveying the
students over fifty-six mile
stretch.
( At 10:30 this morning, a fleet
of hugh four-ton White trucks
will set sail frm Patterson's
Drug store. The round trip fare
on; these trucks wil be a very
nominal fee, and, since the move
ment is sponsered by two enter
prising Carolina students, the
trucks will probably be loaded
to the limit.
At 11 :00 o'clock this morn
ing a special train will leave
Hillsboro street station. The re
turn trip will start from Wake
Forest at 7:00 o'clock this even
ing. In addition to those who will
take advantage of these two
means of transportation, hun
dreds of optimistic students will
line the highways between the
"Hill" and Wake Forest in ef
forts to "bum" their way to Gore
field and the scene of the first
football classic of the year. The
Wake Forest game will be the
first glimpse for many of the
students of their football heroes,
as the athletes have been practic
ing behind closed gates nearly all
season.
There will be a separate sec
tion of stands reserved only fot
the Carolina students. Two
years ago this section was be
hind the goal posts on the south
end, but it is hoped this year
