Di Senate Meeting Committees Appointed and Plans Made for Coming Year. The Di Senate held its second ses sion of the year Tuesday night in the law building. No bills or resolutions were discussed, but definite plans for fall quarter's work were made. The meeting consisted of the appoint ing of committees and discussion of taking in of new members, mainly. Next Tuesday night the Senate will ready to take in new members.

All students who expect to participate in inter-collegiate debates at any time this year should register with the Secretary of the Council as soon. as possible. All graduate, professional and under graduate students are eligible.. Membership on the debate squad will have several distinct advantages so far as training for debating is con cerned; from time to .time men who are authorities in their field will lead the squad in the discussion of ques tions which are to be debated. There will be opportunity to learn the tech nique of debating by actual practice, supplemented with instruction. The squad will hold meetings every week on some evening convenient to the group. The first meeting of the year was. held October 3rd and the attend ance and interest shown will warrant the continuation of this .plan of PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT FOR TAR HEEL NET TEAM Captain :CharIie; Waddell Will Probably Lead Stellar Ag gregation in Campaign. While no official call has been made for tennis candidates, those who have aspirations for positions on either the varsity or freshman team may be seen every day out on the courts laboring to get in form. Prospects this year seem rather brighter than usual with Wilson and Merritt from last year's freshman team booked for rather high positions on the varsity ladder, and Captain Charlie Waddell gradually rounding into the form that carried him to the semi-final round of last year's Southern Conference tourna ment. Carolina lost only two of last year's lettermen, Elgin and Blaylock, but an other, Dalrymple, , will not be back because of scholastic standing. Of the other men on last year's teamr Cov ington and Cone, the former has been showing up well, but Cone appears to have gone back a notch or two from the form he showed last year. This year's team will undoubtedly surpass the record made by the team of last year," but "it is to be doubted whether they will equal the pace set by the freshmen of two years ago. Shapiro and Yeoman, two freshmen from Washington, r D. C, appear to be head and shoulders above the rest of their class, with . Shapiro, in par ticular, showing up well. In fact, about a week ago in a practice match he rather badly defeated Waddell, the captain of the varsity. He plays a heads-up type of game, making the most out of every shot, and the ex hibitions that he has been giving re cently have been rare treats for local tennis enthusiasts. Last year the team showed up rath er better than usual, winning most of their meets and coming out vic torious in their northern trip. While they did not do so well in the state tournament, the most spectacular feat of the year came in the Southern Conference tournament, when Charlie Waddell, who was not conceded a chance,.defeated Berry Grant, who is considered one of the best players in the south, by the overwhelming score of 6-0, 6-3. While the major portion of the tennis season comes in the spring, it is probable that several matches will be playedvthis fall with Wake Forest and Duke, as well as the customary .Thanksgiving match with Virginia. There will be a meeting of the Burke County Club at 10 o'clock Thursday night, October 6, at the "Y" club room. . Tuesday A .M training, which has been highly en dorsed by debate leaders both on this campus and at other schools. The query to be used against the British team is: Resolved,. That the only effective attitude towards war is an uncompromising pacifism. The next meeting of the squad wil be in Gerrard Hall, at 10 p. m. Monday, i October 10th. at which time Will Durant, philosopher and historian, will lead the discussion. Members of the squad will be notified by mail of the subsequent meetings. The three faculty members of the Debate Coun cil will constitute a "board of selection for the naming of the debate teams which will represent the University this year. These men, are Professors McKie, H. M. Jones, and Albert Coates. The teams will be selected by a formal preliminary debate after the squad discussions have continued for a few weeks. The debating slate this year in cludes the University of Virginia, Vanderbilt, Tulane, University of Ala bama, University of South Carolina, and perhaps West Virginia and Johns Hopkins. FIRST MEETINGS OF "Y" CABINETS HELD ON MONDAY NIGHT Freshman Friendship Council Also Met with Nearly One Hundred Present. TO SEND OUT NOTICES The regular meetings of the Fresh man Friendship Council and the "Y" Cabinets were held Monday night at nine o'clock in the club rooms of the Y.M.C.A.

Many Volumes Have Been of Library O- Nearly Five Hundred More Books Received in Present Crowded Building; Indication of Pressing Need for the New Home of the Library to be Erected Soon. ' o " y The steady and lusty growth of the University library," which is bursting out of its present confines into the new building to be erected in the near future, is well illustrated by the list of new books posted on the bulletin board in the library. It is seen that approximately five hundred volumes have been added to the crowded stacks of the Carnegie building now occu pied. .This half-thousand or so includes works of interest so varied as to appeal- to the entire reading student body. Extensive additions have been made in every major department of the university. Many works of general interest that have, enjoyed considerable popu larity, and praise since their publica tion are now to be ' found on the shelves of the library: Such widely CAROLINA SOPHOMORE STARS C - v j ) J u f ? "4? - V, j i Albert Whisnant, of Charlotte, and Jimmie Ward, of Henderson ville, (shown above, left to right) have thus far proved the most promising sophomores on the University of North Carolina football squad this year. Whisnant, who replaced Furches at quarterback in the Wake Forest game, was injured soon after he started the Tennessee game. He is expected to be in shape for the Maryland game Saturday, and his generalship is expect ed to be a big factor in the outcome of the annual struggle with the Old Liners. Ward, a halfback, was also removed from the Tennessee game last Saturday on account of injuries, but he, too, is expected , to be in shape again before Saturday. , Frosh Eleven Opens Against Duke Team Here Tomorrow CAKE RACE TO BE IN THREE WEEKS Fifth Annual Running of Popu lar Intra-mural Event to be Held October 25. VARSITY MEN WILL HELP The fifth annual All-University Cross-Country Run, better known by the familiar title of the "Cake Race," will be run on Tuesday, October 25. Three full weeks remain for entrants to train for the big event, and all ambitious "cake eaters" are starting now. The "Cake Race" has become an annual institution under the juris diction of the Intra-Mural Athletic Department. It is a regular cross country race, run over a course of approximately two miles. ' The first one hundred men to fin ish each year receive delicious . cakes, p donated through ' the generosity of the ladies of Chapel Hill. The big event received its name- fronr- these awards. In addition to the choice of the entire one hundred cakes, each year the first man to finish receives a silver loving-cup. The race was originated in the fall of 1923 while Johnny Purser was directing the Intra-Mural sports, and was won by Harry Thach, later a star miler on the varsity squad. Luther Byrd, now director of the Intra-Mural department, won the sil ver loving cup in 1924 ; and Galen Elliott, Carolina's All-American miler, romped home to lead the field in 1925. Last year Minor Barkley, freshman track captain, brought the bacon (Continued on page four) discussed recent works of fiction have been acquired as "Meanwhile," by H. G. WTells; and "A Good Woman," Louis Bromfield's widely discussed new work. "Tristram," the latest work of Edgar Arlington Robinson, prominent American poet, is naturally listed, as is "Marco Willions, Eugene O'Neill's dramatization of the story of Marco Polo, which will be produced this fall by the Theatre Guild.

DUKE LOST TO OAK RIDGE The Tar Heel freshman football squad will go under fire for the first time this year when they face the Duke freshman team tomorrow af ternoon at 3 o'clock on Emerson Field. Coaches Belding's and Pritch ard's charges have been working out faithfully for the last two weeks, and although injuries and ineligibilities have been cropping up in the last week, the Tar Babies 'should present a strong front against the Methodist first year men. ' The line-up at present is very un certain. The ends to start are par ticularly uncertain. Lemmond, who was doped to hold down one wing position will not be able to play on account of injuries received in scrim maging. Bernard Schneider, All Southern and All-State . man from Gastonia, has been shifted from cen ter to end because of his speed. As he also held down this position in high school, he will probably strength en the wings greatly. Tabb, former Wilmington high school player, will probably be seen at the other end. The tackles appear to have been won by Pionke, Chicago prep school star, and Gavin Dortch, star on last year's Episcopal High team. McKen na, huge 220 pounder, and Warren, brother of the well-known "Kayo,1 are also sure to see action. Hudson, Bingham Military Insti x x a. . i-k 1 1 m . lute sxar, a Jjauas, iexas, boy, is doped to scintillate at one guard. Due to a bad ankle received this week, Blackwood, All-State high school play er from Winston-Salem, is out of the game for several days. The other guard will probably be played by either Baker or White, both men of experience. Ned Lipscomb, younger brother of Charlie Lipscomb, varsity line-man, is outstanding among, the candidates for center now that Schneider has been shifted to end. His play against the varsity has brought forth many com plimentary remarks. The quarter-back position will be (Continued on page four) First Rehearsal of Glee Club Held Prospects Encouraging for Coming Season; Many Offers Received. The first rehearsal of the Univer sity of North Carolina Glee Club was held last' Tuesday. An abundance of available material was found, and val uable voices lost by graduation or other causes will soon be replaced! It is understood that various offers are being entertained by the man ager of the Glee Club in regard to trips this fall and winder, but definite information was not available at the time of this writing. MARYLAND BRINGS POWERFUL TEAM HERE SATURDAY Old Liners Have One of the Most Powerful Squads in South ern Conference. TAR HEEL LINE IS GOOD If comparative scores be used as basis for prophecy the University of North Carolina football squad is slated for another hard day here Sat urday when it meets the Old Liners of Maryland. The Old Liners have developed a powerful scoring machine in early season games, and are rank ed almost on par with Alabama and Tennessee in the Southern Confer ence. Even last spring sports scribes were rating the Maryland outfit among the leading contenders for Conference honors this season. They have a vet- eran combination throughout. Their only loss from their brilliant team of 1926 was Mike Stevens, triple threat halfback. To replace him there were several promising substitutes and youngsters from the freshman eleven. From this veteran squad Curly Byrd has built a great team. Open ing the season against Washington College, the Old Line backs literally swept everything aside to pile a mountainous 79 to 0 score. Last Sat urday they showed even inore im presssively in defeating the South Carolina Gamecocks 26 to 0 in the opening Conference tilt. To match this impressive early season exhibition Coach Chuck Collins and his assistants present a squad that has tasted defeat twice in the opening games, dropping a close con test to Wake Forest and falling be fore the terrific onslaughts of the Tennessee Volunteers 26 to 0. The Tar Heel line was the only really impressive portion of the team in these early contests, and that line showed itself as one of the best in this s'ection against the Vols. Upon that line the Carolina mentors wil1 pin their faith in the Old Line clash, hoping that the backfield may show better organization than, it has thus far. The great handicap has been the lack of a capable forward passer, and the coaches will probably spend much time this week in further search for such a "find" in the North Caro lina backfield. DONATION IS fllADE FOR LIBRARY OF RELIGION SCHOOL OTHER GIFTS PROMISED The first step has been made toward the building up of a well-furnished library for the school of religion at Chapel Hill, his consists of a dona tion by Professor Gustav Schwenning of the school of commerce, including twenty-four volumes upon religious subjects. Last year the school of religion voted to include in its budget an. item for the purchase of books for a li brary. These books are to be select ed this fall and will be chosen in view of the courses now being given in the Bible and also in view of the large number of volumes in the field of religion already possessed by the University library. Mr. Baker of the library staff says that the University library has thirty-two hundred vol umes in the religion section and many other books of like nature classified under other heads. In addition to the books which will be purchased by the school of religion in accordance with its budget a num ber of gifts have been promised Pro fessor Schwenning's donation comes as the first of these, promised gifts. His twenty-four yolumes includeAaod ern translations of the New Testa ment,' and interpretations from the viewpoints of psychology, sociology, and the more personal aspects of phil osophy. Each book bears the person ally designed bookplate of Professor Schwenning. One book in thi3 collection is of especial personal interest. It is The Riverside New Testament : A New Translation, by William G. Ballan tine, former president of Oberlin Col lege, antl. once-, instructor; of Mr. Schwenning. This copy, was sent by the author through Mr. , Schwenning and was accompanied by, a letter ex pressing a. deep interest in the school of religion at Chapel HilL
