AUSTRALIAN BALLOT USED
Monday October "eleventh has
been set as the date for the
' final vote in the freshman class
elections. This date was given
by the student body at the chapel
service yesterday morning by S.
G. Chappell, president of the
-student body.
. With the election only two days
ahead, the politicians .of . -the
class of 30 are making strong
pleas for their candidates. The
campus is buzzing with flowery
oratory by the freshmen "Boss
N es." Every freshman who ven
tures across the campus is met
by several men. . All the men are
talking and trying to use their
influence for their respective
candidate.
The strife is centered around
from the western part of the
state. One, of the men comes
' from the extreme western poy
tion of the state. Browlow
Jackson, a member of the fresh
man football squad, comes to
Carolina direct from Henderson-
ville high school. Jackson is one
of the most promising members
of the f rosh grid team. The posi
tion he has been playing is cen
ter and reports say that he is
proving to be a valuable player.
J( N. Callahan, who polled the
largest number of votes in the
primary Monday, is offering the
, opposition to Jackson. Callahan

Students From Church Societies
Will Discuss Religious

EXPECT BIG ATTENDANCE
The Young People's Interde
nominational Union will hold its
fall meeting in the Baptist
church Sunday night at 8 :00.
An unusual program has been
planned by the Union executive
committee.
The subject to be dicussed is
Spiritual Cowardice. Every
phase of the. question as it es
pecially concerns college stu
dents will be taken up by several
students chosen by the Execu-
tive committee from the Young
People's church organizations on
the; campus.
J. W. Crew will speak on the
"Cause of Spiritual Cowardice,'
The results of Spiritual Coward
ness will be discussed by Billy
Farrell. M. A. James will give
"A warning to the Drifter".
It is an' interesting fact that
Carolina students are gradually
drifting toward interdenomina-
tionalism. ' "Church distinction"
according to President Galen El
Hot of the Union is becoming
Obvious continually. ,
At the end of the business
part of the meeting there will
be music by a soloist " and a
stringed trio. '
Heavy Social Season Gets Under
way With Three Grail .
. Dances on Schedule.
KYSER'S ORCHESTRA PLAYS
Tonight in Bynum Gymnasi
um, the order of the Grail will
give its first dance of the year,
thereby inaugurating the fall
season of University dances. The
affair, is expected to be a record
breaking success and the cam
pus is looking forward eagerly
to the proof of the pudding.
Kike Kyser's orchestra has been
engaged to make the music.
The fact that it is the opener
for the season's social , event
makes it an occasion of impor
tance, and the large number of
out-of-town visitors which the
football fray this afternoon will
attractto the Hill' will" add vari
ety, color and above all femin
inity. What could be finer? The
girls who have been invited have
returned a gratifying number of
acceptances " and everything
points to an able representation
of the weaker sex on the ball
room floor tonight ; -
The coming season looms
promising for the socially inclin
ed. There seems to be a col
lection of brilliant occasion just
before us that should dellight
the most blase element of the
campus. The Grail announces a
dance for the week-end of the
N. C. State game- October' SO,
with another on the thirteenth
of November. There are to be
some Weidemeyer dances at
Durham at the time of the V.
M. I. game. The Juniors plan a
hop which is to be the first of
its kind ever held here. Then,
tocap the climax, come the
Thanksgiving dances on the
week-end of the Virginia game.

The largest and most enthus
astic demonstration of the tra
ditional Carolina pep was wit
nessed last night in Memorial
Hall when Kike and his now
famous "Cheerios" staged their
first . pep meeting of the year.
Approximately one thousand
students attended the gigantic
performance, with numerous co
eds in evidence, f
Kike was undoubtedly the out
standing star of the evening, his
contagious enthusiasm being
caught by the entire crowd be
fore the meeting had more than
started. He and his "Cheerios"
were given a big hand when they
opened the program with a song,
written by Kyser especially for
the cheering squad.
S. G. Chappel, President of the
Student Body; stressed the need
of every mans giving his best in
backing the team this afternoon.
He decried the fact that men of
this University were backing op
posing teams, and declared them
unworthy to bear the name of
Carolina students.
He was followed by Collins,
Head Coach of football, who, on
behalf of the coaching staff and
the football squad, praised Kike
and his loyal body of "Cheerios"
for the splendid work they are
doing in their efforts to raise the
spirit from its recent slump. He
offered no excuses or alibis for
the last two defeats, and de
clared that in both games the

. By Dr. A
The first issue of the Carolina
Magazine, only seven days late,
is pleasing to look at. I congrat
ulate the editor on having secur
ed 1 one of the most attractive
covers I have seen recently, the
new format also deserves a word
of praise. The head-and-tail
pieces, the initials, the orna
ments and the marginal label
ling of pages all make it a pleas
ure to look at the printed pagei
ine size or the new magazine
is convenient and .'quite in keep
ing with modern trends in maga
zine design. For the mechanical
side of the work, I have nothing
but praise.
In fact, when I think of the
magazine as a whole, I have little
but praise for it. It is one of the
best first issues of the magazine
I've seen in several years, and
it should be with the talent it has
secured. But let me hasten to
add that if is not the local con
tributors who give to it this air
of excellence; they are on a par
with' the usual student perfor
mances. Any magazine which
contains work by Eric Waldron,
by Alfred Kreymyorg, by Sara
Haardt, is bound to be worth
C. Howell
reading. If we check through
the table of contents, we find ten
contributors who are not resi
dents of the University, nor of
the community; of Chapel Hill.
If we add the names' of the three
book reviewers, we have a total
of six students who contributed
to this issue, and two of them are
no longer with us.
EssentiaHy, then, the maga
zine is a foreign product ; and its
excellence is due largely to for-l
eign contributors and to the
energy of its editor. His new
policy, following the lead of the
Duke University Archive has
possibilities; it has produced a
better magazine; it may encour
age home talent or it may kill
the magazine as a University
enterprise. Time will tell, but I
am frankly doubtful of the pro
ceeding. The alarming '; thing
about the business is this: in a
University of twenty-five hun
dred students,' only four can be
found whose contributions are
considered '. worth publishing,
and even more deploring" is the
fact that the majority of the
wenty-five hundred boast a state
of mental apathy toward things

As the freshman footbai
sguad slips into its fourth wee!
of football practice, a semblance
of a team is rapidly forming it
self and aided by ' ferocious
scrimmages with Coach Collin';
rejuvenated varsity eleven the
yearlings have reached a stage
of perfection that in itself is pre
diction of another splendid year
for the proteges of Coaches Beld
tng, Pritchett and Quinlan
Never in the history of the
school have the first year men
i 9
n been so remorselessly and con
sistently used as combatants for
the Varsity men. . Coach Collins
is a firm believer of the old adage
that a team thatx scrimmages
against its own self is merely
biting off its head to spite its
face or maybe he knows that dis
sension in the ranks of any or
ganization breeds discontent
therefore he has made it a daily
part of the menu of the Varsity
gridders that a free and umiti
gated period of the day ! be de
voted to dissension with the
freshmen. And the results of the
daily set-tos with the heavier,
more experienced Varsity men is
already beginning to clearly evi
dence itself. The freshmen
backs have picked up worlds of
drive, and the line men are
charging with a zeal and zest
that bodes nothing but ill for the
first team that crosses the path
of the Tar Babies. .
The squad of men that first
answered the call to practice,
about three weeks ago is not the
3quad that today is hurrying hith
er and yon at the call of the
coaches. Five teams are all that
remain from the ten or more
that first flowed like a brown
wave over the Frosh field. From

.The South Carolina Game
cocks come to Chapel Hill today
with the avowed purpose of re
venging themselves for a long
string of defeats administered
by North Carolina over a period
of 23 years.
Only once in fifteen starts has
South Carolina emerged victor.
That was in '24. Coach Metzer
brought a smooth functioning
organization to Chapel Hill and
succeeded in defeating the Fet
zerr team 10 to 7 in a thrilling
contest.
The first fray recorded be
tween the two Carolina Univer
sities brings back the names of
such renowned stars as Foy Rob
ertson, Albert Cox, Perry Seag
le, Roach Stewart, Nat Town
send, and , W. P. Jacocks all
well, known North Carolina a
lumni. This team defeated
South Carolina 17 to 0, and re
peated the following year with
a 27 to 0 win.
In , 1908 the Tar , Heels won
22 to 0, and in 1910 were victors
again by the margin of 27 to
6. The following year North
Carolina turned in a 21 to 0 suc-cesSt,.,-,,,,
.....
The Tar Heels continued their
series of wins, excepting one tie
game in 1912, up to the time
of the war in 1914. No further
games are recorded until 1920
when North Carollina won G Lo
0. The following year's contest
resulted in a tie score. In '22
the Fetzer brothers' South At
lantic champions won 10 to 7.
North Carolina enjoyed a mar
gin of 14 to 0 in 1923, but were
finally defeated 10 to 7 in '24.
Last year the Tar Heels receiv
ed the breaks of the game and
won 7 to 0.
The Gamecocks boast the best
team in their .football history,
and went a long ways towards
proving, the fact by winning
decisively over the , formidable
Maryland eleven last Saturday.
