v jf. Freshman Football Today CAROLINA vs. DUKE Emerson Field 3:00 P. M. Varsity Cross-Country and Itchy CAROLLNA vs. DUKE Todaj" pet ween Halves A VOLUME XXXVI N: C. CLUB HEARS WAGER SPEAR ON TAX PROBLEM University Professor Cites Var ious Remedies for Tax , Relief. - "The oiily hope of relief for the taxpayers lies in more efficient admin istration, more thorough-going and more equitable assessments, the build ing up of taxable resources, sound fis cal operations, and a gradual reduc tion of interest charges through tlTe reduction of the debt," Dr. Paul W. Wager of the University Department of Rural-Social Economics, declared Tuesday night in addressing, the North Carolina Club on the taxation problem as it applies to this State. "For some years to come the prop erty tax will have to be continued as the main support of local govern ment," he declared-. "With the huge volume of county and municipal debt to be liquidated, and an unceasing de mand for more and 'more governmen tal services, it is futile to expect a reduction in expenditures. "North Carolina's annual tax bill is now approximately 120 million, dol lars, of which 20 million dollars repre sents income and inheritance .taxes paid to the federal government, 30 million dollars paid into the general and highway funds of thev State, 30 million dollars of municipal taxes, and 40 million dollars cf s county and school taxes. There is no way ton measure accurately what North Caro linians contribute to the federal gov ernment in indirect" taxes." Dr. Wager said that unless the re cent revaluation had corrected the situation, there was a tendency for urban real estate to be assessed for taxation at a lower ratio of its true value than farm land. "Prior to 1925 the State govern ment was doing just what most of -as are doing paying October bills with November salary check, tin the case' of the State, however, it was paying 1924 bills with 1925 revenue." The speaker also pointed out that if all property were listed for its full value that a lower tax rate would pre vail generally. "I am not so optimis tic as to believe that those people who purge themselves to avoid, the present high rate would all come for ward and list their intangibles as soon as " the lower rate applied," he con tinued. "There will always remain some dishonest people, but the condi tion which prevails now is one which more or less justifies evasion as a matter of self defense." ABERNATHY WILL SPEAK HERE ON ARMISTICE DAY Congressman from Third Dis trict .and Prominent Alumnus of University to Deliver An nual Address. Congressman Charles Laban Aber nathy, of New Bern, will deliver the address at sthe University's annual Armistice Day celebration in Mem orial Hall at 10:30, November 11, it was announced yesterday by Professor J. M. Booker, who is in charge of the arrangements. - Mr. Abernathy, who has a reputa tion as an excellent speaker, is Con gressman from the third district. He is one of the foremost promoters of the Inland Waterways System, and his activities on its behalf have gain ed wide attention during the past few months. ' i Graduating from the - University with the class of 1895, he has attain ed "a position among the most prom inent of its alumni.

Tonight at 8 : 30 in Gerrard Hall, Bliss Carman, one of the best known of America's younger poets, will speak informally and read from his works'. He is coming to the Univer sity under the auspices of the faculty committee on lectures, and his reading and talk will constitute the second of the regular University lectures of the year. There will be no charge for admission. , ,: Although Carman belongs to the modern generation of writers in point of time, his lyrics really belonging to the more famous school of a genera- tion ago. Hailed as the interpreter of col lege youth in poetry, Mr. Carman is expected to appeal especially to Uni versity students, riis works nave a gay, boisterous, youthful air that lends to them a peculiar charm for the lover of youthful adventure and those who feel the call of a carefree, out-of-doors existence. "The Songs of Vagabondia," a ser ies of three volumes of lyrics written in collaboration with Richard Hovey, are better known than any of the others of the lyrics that comprise the bulk of Carman's works, perhaps. They express beter than the works of any other poet the lilting, animated style that serves to lend realism and charm to lyrics of the open road and of the thoughtless, carefree life. - Many critics laud the works of Carman highly: Weirick in his "From Whitman to Sandberg in American Poetry" characterizes 'these works as "the poetry of college youth, off on a vacation, roughing it some, seeking adventure in action or amours united in friendship that is more enduring than love. They resound with the shouts and derisive" laughter of revolters from mid-Victor ianism and the albuminous American imita tions," ' Mr. Carman was born in Canada in 1863, and he was educated at the University of New Brunswick, at Edinburgh, and at Harvard. He came to this country in his early twen ties. His-exceptional talent has won for Jaim high favor among the read ing public, as well known as favorable attention from the most discerning of the critics.

' All men who are candidates for of fice will be given an opportunity to speak before the class Monday and Tuesday mornings in Chapel. There has been considerable senti ment on the campus this year in favor of administration of the affairs of the Freshman class by a committee com posed of the officials of the three up per classes until after Christmas . in order that the freshmen might have an opportunity to learn who among" them has executive ability, and are best suited for the various offices. It has been customary heretofore to have the nominations made at the Fresh man '.Smoker in the first few weeks of the quarter.. It was decided to postpone the making of them as long as it was practicable, and President Jonas stated yesterday that he felt that it was advisable to hold the nom inations now, since the Freshmen have had an opportunity to become ac quainted with one another. BRADSHAW MAKES CHAPEL TALK ON FINDINGCAREERS Comments on Large Number Of Men Who Are Unde cided on Life Work. "Statistics show that our college graduates average ten years in finding the vocation in life for which they are best adapted. During this period they exhibit trial and error behavior until they havef ound the right place," said Dean Bradshaw while address ing the Freshman class in chapel yes terday morning. Mr. Bradshaw asked f or show of hands on the number of men who felt reasonably sure that they had decid ed on their life's work. About one third of the men raised their hands. When he . asked for the number who had not decided on a vocation, a slight ly larger number raised their hands. Only a few signified that they were undecided between three or four vo cations. Mr. Bradshaw then said, "Experience shows that ; probably one-half of you who think you have decided on some particular vocation will finally end up in some other one." He said that some students solve their vocational problem by not think ing about it at all." They simply pass through college hoping that maybe some prominent business man will look them up arid offer them a posi tion. Others drift on hoping that suddenly, perhaps in their senior year, they' will discover some marked abil ity within themselves. However, on - ly about one in a thousand have any thing of this sort to happen to them. Other students" allow their relatives or friends to dq all their vocational thinking for them, and never stop to consider their own abilities or ambitions.- . -Dean Bradshaw, cited the case of a certain boy who was very positive at the age of sixteen that he wanted-to be a naval architect. This boy's vo cational counselor was interested in learning how he had come to this de cision. He learned that the hoy had taken a long trip with a naval archi tect who had taken a special interest in the boy and had given him a full account of the advantages of naval architecture. Consequently, the boy had made his choice without consider ing his own abilities or any other oc cupation at all. Later he found, that it was impossible for him to become a naval architect because he couldn't pass geometry. Finally he became interested in music, and according to (Continued or page four) S - COUNTRI 1 HEN WILL TrIEET DURE Varsity Men to Race 'Between Halves of Frosh Football Game; Freshmen Will Go to Durham. - RELAY WILL BE HELD The Carolina varsity and freshman cross country teams will both go into action against Duke University Fri day afternoon.

In addition to the cross country meet here 4here will be a mile relay between the Carolina and Duke cin dermen. " The varsity meet with Duke prom ises .to be the hardest engagement of the year for Coach. Dale Ranson's hill-and-dale artists. Duke has over whelmingly defeated both Washington and Lee University and Davidson" Col lege' this season and if all' reports are true should have the most formidable cross country aggregation to be met by the Tar Heels this year. Tuttle, Woodard, Doxey, Owens, Winecoff , and Long of Duke will prob ably force the Carolina harriers to exert themselves to the limit in order to emerge victorious. Little is known of the strength of Duke'iS freshman team, but the Tar Babies expect keen competition. - In the relay race Duke will present a group of veteran, runners, including Erwin, Bruton, Pegram, and Litaker. This race promises to .be well worth your attention. The varsity team has not definitely been decided upon but Coach Ranson will probably select the team from the-following list: Captain Galen El liott, Hoyt Pritchett, John Henderson, Minor Barkley, Red Fisher, H. E. Coxe, Phil Gallagher, Henry Brown, and' W. G. Lowry. The freshman team will be com posed of Captain Ed Ferrell, Baucom, DeRossett, Roscoe Fisher, Carl Fish er, A. W. T-illey, ,Hatem, and Crane.

' TAR HEEL MOVES TO NEWOFFICES Staff Moves Quarters to Base ment of Alumni; Other Pub lications on Same Floor. This issue' of the Tar; Heel heralds the initial effort of the staff since the publication moved into its new quar ters in the basement of the Alumni Building. The "Leading College Tri Weekly Newspaper" .now occupies by far the most spacious and conveni ent offices that it has ever had in its many years of .existence. - Since the beginning of the-year the official student news organ of the University has occupied temporary quarters on the first floor of the Alumni Building that were, cramped and inconvenient, handicapping the staff to a considerable extent in is suing the paper. The editors state that they expect a noticeable, improve ment how that suitable quarters have been' provided. The new offices are located in the southeast quarter- of the basement, directly across the hall from the room that they occupied last year. They Jare directly accessible from the cam pus through doors at the ground level. " The entire basement floor of the Alumni Building has been undergoing extensive reworking since the open ing of school. The work was com pleted yesterday, and the offices were immediately opened and the task of moving begun, which was near com pletion when the Tar Heel went to press. . ' The University Press will occupy the "north half of the floor, while the Yackety Yack editors have already moved into the room to the west, be side the new' Tar Heel offices. The business offices 'is partitioned off from the editorial offices in the new Tar Heel quarters by a glass par tition which is expected to prove an advantage over the old plan of hav ing them in the same room. - 321 More Students' There are 321 more students in the University than at this time last year. The total is '2,632. ! COACH COLLINS .' . V V s JSj ' ' i I - Here is a new photo of Coach Chuck Collins, head football mentor at the University of North Carolina, who has plenty of worries between now and 'Thanksgiving. The next three week-ends his team will face V. M. I., Davidson, and Duke in succession. Then on Thanksgiving will come the most crucial test "of the year when the University will dedicate" the new Kenan Stadium with the annual Carolina-Virginia game. FROSH GMDDERS WILL MEET BLUE MPS ON FRIDAY Tar Babies to Play Second Game Of Season; Will Have Import ant Bearing on State Cham pionship. - The Carolina freshman football team will go into action against the N. C. State freshmen tomorrow after noon at 3 o'clock on Emerson Field. Coaches Belding's and Pritchard's charges have been working out hard since the Duke game and should pre sent a strong front against the Wolf- lets. ' ' 1 The line-up has not been definitely decided upon at -present. Lemmond and Schneider will probably start at the ends. -Blackwood, Hudson or White will hold down the two guard positions. f The tackles will be. either Dortch, McKenna, or Warren. Ned Lipscomb is sure to start at center. The backfield will be as follows: Sher at quarterback, Michael or Nash at left half, Nelson or Sears at right half, and House at fullback. This will be the second game " for the Tar Babies, as they held the Duke freshmen to a 6-6 deadlock three weeks ago. This game will have an important bearing of the State fresh man championship. Duke claims that if they win the rest of their games in the state. they will win the champion ship. The State freshmen have played two games this year. Early m the season they were defeated 20 to 0 by the Wake Forest freshmen, while last Friday they held the V. M. I. fresh men to a 0-0 tie. The remaining games on the fresh man schedule follow: November 12 Carolina freshmen urn- 11 J? 1 ' - J - vs. iviaryiana iresnmen at oiiege Park. - Nov. 19 Carolina freshmen vs. Virginia freshmen at. Charlottesville. New Circulation '. Mark All provious circulation records of the Main Library were smashed dur ing the month of October. The total circulation amounted to 17,968. This is an increase of 16 over the same month of last year. .The previous rec ord was established last March, the circulation' being' 16,900. This new record was unexpected as several de partmental libraries have been install ed this fall, and large numbers of the active books were transferred to them. The circulation of the profes sional arid departmental libraries is not included in the above figures. The heavy reading demand for the History and English courses that are given this quarter plus the increased student body is responsible for the record circulation. The different de partments of the Main' Library have added several assistants, and they are successfully meeting the library needs of the students and faculty. - NUMBER IS" CAROLINA POINTS FOR V. BL I. GAME Squad in Fair Shape, Barring Further Injuries; Four Games To be in Lexington. MANY STUDENTS GOING Barring injuries in scrimmages this week, the University of North Caro lina football squad will be in fair shape when the Tar Heels meet the Flying Cadets of V. M. I. in Lexing ton, Va., Saturday. Billy Ferrell and Edison Foard, fullbacks; Charlie Lipscombe, tackle, and Earl Donahoe, guard, were in jured in the game with N. C. State last Saturday, and they likely will be on the sidelines all this week, but other members of the squad appear to be in fairly good condition. Ferrell, the star of the Maryland game which Carolina won in one of the biggest upsets of the season, will be greatly missed by the Tar Heels if he is unable to play Saturday, as now seems likely. After being out two weeks on account of an injury sus tained in the South Carolina game, he was allowed to start against N. C. State last Saturday, but was removed at an early stage after suffering an other injury to the old wound.. The Tar Heel-Cadet clash will be played at 11 o'clock Saturday morning and will be the first game of a Con ference double-header. Washington and Lee and Virginia will meet that afternoon at 2:45 in their annual en counter. In addition to these two big varsity games, two freshman games will be played that morning. A special train is being run from Chapel Hill arid indications are that a large portion of the student body will attend the game. The Carolina Cheerios, the University's famous cheering unit of 300 picked students, will attend in a body. They will be all dolled up in their blue and white unifornTST and their presence will lend considerable color. The Univer sity band also will be on hand. It-' will be home-coming, day for alumni of V. M. I and Washington and Lee, which is another reason for expecting it to be a big day for foot ball. Tickets for the Carolina sec tions at both games may be obtained through the University Athletic As sociation at two dollars for each game. Twenty cents extra should be includ ed for registering and postage. Mail orders will be given prompt atten tion, it was stated today. HEAVY SCHEDULE FACES TRACKMEN Southern Conference Track and Field; Meet May Be Held Here. If Carolina maintains its record in track and field events, it will have conquered some of the strongest teams in the South before finishing its program of the year. Some good men have been lost, but the coaches hope to- continue making a trium phant fight against all comers. . There is probability that the South era Conference Track meet and field day will be held here again this spring. 'The cross country is already slated for the "Hill. , The season ' opens with Duke Uni versity and closes with the Confer ence meet, in which all teams are combined. . The dates, as they now stand, are: March 26 Duke, here. April" 7 V. P. I. at Blacksburg. April 9 Washington and Lee at Lexington. ' April 14 Southern Relay Carnival at Atlanta. April 21 Ga. Tech here. " April 28 N. C. "State, dual meet at Ra?.eigh, also Perm Relays at Philadelphia. May 4-5 State Championship Meet at Greensboro. ' May 12 Virginia, place undecided. May 18-15 Southern Conference Track ' and Field Meet, place not de cided. Dr. Addison G? Brenizer of Char lotte gave an illustrated lecture on goiters Saturday night before an un usually well attended meeting of the Medical Society. Dr. Brenizer is a specialist on Neurology and goiters. This was the second of ? series of monthly lectures held under the aus pices of the Medical Society to which the public is . invited. - Dr. English Bagby of the Psychology Department was the first lecturer of. the year.
