example of how we wish to welcome
you to our campus. By courtesy and
kindness in helping the newsmen to
adjust themselves ' to college will we
older men attempt to show that our
welcome is not a scrap of paper to
be read and lightly cast aside but
an actuality that may prove of some
use.,. .
If you want to test our real worth
of our. welcome to you just ask some
upper classman to 'help you arrange
yourschedule or find your way
about or give you handy tips. Then
note how readily he will respond to
the ' slightest call for help.
This is our modern welcome.

high school week with its tradition
al ram instead of freshman week!

This eight-page Tar Heel double

A MODERN WELCOME
- Each year as the new class comes
in some hundreds strong, the custo-
. " w.....w fe,wWAJ Al U
ting. But as the styles of oratory
and of eloquence change with the
times, so do the styles of welcome.
Some years ago freshmen vould.
have been welcomed with the old
spread eagle brand ot writing. "We
welcome you to our campus and to
our hearts" "Prove Worthy of those
illustrous sires who have gone be
fore you,' new men; hold high their
lofty" ideals ad "strive ever to
reach t their shining goal ahead" "A
new and heavy responsibility rests
upon your shoulders; gird on your
armor and prove your mettle"
Such were the sententious words of
welcome and of advice prevalent when
Carolina and her freshmen were
young. . '..
But today such a welcome would
fail to carry with it the ' note of
sincerity that we really feel. Today
we are prone to leave off superfluous
sentiment; we pride ourselves upon
our ability to restrain all emotions
and to take whatever may come as a
matter of course. The, eloquence and
the oratory of yesteryear have had
their day. What we want to express
in terms, familiar to the youth of the
twentieth century must be couched in
words of simplicity and ' sincerity.
Nor do we , of the present student
generation find words alone accept
able. For the written sentence to be
of value it must be supported by a
willingness to act.,: And V in that
philosophy do j we indite this welcome
to the freshman class. Not in words
but in acts do ,the upperclassmen
greet their newly enrolled brothers.
Freshman orientation week was one
After witnessing many attempts to
put into execution various plans for
campus 'betterment some of which
survive successfully and " some of
which die an ignoble death it is
with a "feeling of pleasure that . we
noted how wejl the -scheme of-fresh
man orientation week has worked
out. . :; ' ;
It has not been " so many f years
since the . freshmen were welcomed
by sophs with paddles and unreason
able demands when they first set
foot upon the campus of their newly
chosen Alma Mater. And after that
so-called physical reception, the .poor
chaps had to go' through the torment
of a bewildering day of registration;
their . first contact with the official
University was made by crowding
several hundred men into Memorial
Hall, - where their registration, was
completed by tedious, hours of wait
ing in line. .
Now, however, instead of such an
uncivilized, reception, the new men
are divided into manageab groups
of thirty and given four days of per
sonal attention by a faculty member
and a student advisor. They , are
shown about the campus, conducted
through the library, told the rudi
ments, of student government, and
given all possible individual aid and
advice. In this . way their . first im
presslons of Carolina are made
through personal contacts with in
terested and helpful individuals
rather than through the soulless me
chanism' of registration or the, rude
barbarity of hazing.' , 1 ,
-PASSING OF THE DEAN
Iii the very midst of the summer
vacations for all those intimately
connected with the University-either
as students, alumni, or faculty there
came the unexpected news of a mis
fortune which brought grief to a
family, to a university, and to hun
dreds of Carolina's friends. -Dean
Andrew H.. Patterson had died.
The very suddenness of the loss,
coming as it did immediately after
hopes for a recovery had been 'rais
ed made it even more deeply felt.
Dean Patterson had not only built up
the School of Applied Science, of
which he was head, to a hieh oeak
of efficiency; but at the same time
he had endeared himself to all those
students 'With whom he had any con
nection whatsoever. His courses in
physics and in astronomy , had that
too-seldom-found combination of high
worth and wide popularity , which
first attracts students arid later
sent them away with minds more
fully cognizant of the fascinating
mysteries of science.
The University of North Carolina
will miss Andrew H. Patterson as a
dean; the State will miss, him as a
valued instructor of its vouth : and
we Carolina students will miss him
as a beloved and trusted teacher and
as a close personal friend.
Smith Man Wins in Georgia
Atlanta Journal)
"The nationally important feature
of the Democratic primary election
in Georgia was the victory of Con
gresman Leslie J.- Steele, of the Fifth
district, who, standing loyal to the
party's presidential ticket, over
whelmed his opponent, an avowed ad
vocate of Hoover. In other notable
contests all candidates, save one, de
clared their allegiance to the Demo
cratic standard and to those chosen
to bear it in the national field; and
that - one was properly excluded by
the state executive committee. In the
fifth district the issue was clearlv
drawn and decisively foucrht between
Democracy and Hooverism, between
straightforward fealtv to thv n art v
- . x - - r-j
of Jefferson and Wilson, the party of
Georgia and the South, -and alliance
with its traditional foes. The neonle

as to what they think and how they

of the year. They have endorsed
Congressman Steele's position bv one
of the most significant majorities in

PHYSICAL ASPECT '
OF TOWN CHANGES
There have been numerous physi
cal changes in Chapel Hill's business
district during the summer months,
and sundry changes in customs and
local ordinances, which, : though un
seen, may be felt. , :v
' Three ordinances which we espe
cially recommend to you with' the
advice that you obey them, remem
bering that the town's police force
has been augmented recently These
three: -... '
1. The sign, '.'No turn on red light,:
is to be enforced. Do not deceive
yourself, there is no turn, right or
left, when the traffic light is red.
Incidentallystop-and-go signals are
to be installed on the corner of Co
lumbia and Franklin streets.
2. In the caseof a parking-on-the
campus-grass' second offence the of
fender-will' be hailed into court. Sev
eral such offenders were arrested
and fined during the summer. When
the police find a car on the grass
they leave in it a copy of the ordi
nance, take the plate number, and
if they- find the same car on the grass
agavv he leaves a red tag. -.
3. There will be no more "curb
service" here.. An autoist may buy
food or drink, carry it ta-his parked
car, and there consume, it but soda
upon the inmates or a car parked at
the curb. ' . ,
Here's; a real disappoinment the
shoe shops are not offering free
shines this year. This custom, in
augurated three vears a?o bv L
coek's, has proven too expensive and
has been abolished by - mutual .con
sent, of the shoe men. -
Perhaps the most noteworthy
changes in - the down town section
are those of the Andrews-Henneger
store arid the Little -Gem cafe. The
Andrews-Henneger dry goods store.
which has been situated for seven
teen years in the old Brockman build
ing on - the- corner of Franklin and
Columbia streets, Ms been moved
into roomier quarters next , door toi
the, Carolina Barber shop.
The Little Gem. cafe ha disap
peared and in its place is Pollv's
Coffee Shop, established and presid
ed oyer by three sisters, Misses Janie
Lou, Carrie Lee, and Ruth Brannen.
formerly of Statesboro, Ga. The in
terior v of the place has been attrac
tively done over by the three artis
tically inclined sisters. Another

Anniversary : Week:?: ,
Celebrated By tlie .
Carolina Theatre
Last week the Chapel Hill Week
ly carried a full page devoted to ex
pressions of congratulations by. the
merchants of Chapel Hill to the Car
olina Theatre of its first anniversary.
-During' the Theatre's first year at
Chapel Hill, it has - perhaps gained
the attention of - the students more
than any other' one establishment in
the University town. Manager E. C.
Smith has distributed numerous free
passes, employed a full . staff of
Carolina 'students, entertained va
rious societies, fraternities and gath
erings at the theatre, and shown in
manynstances pictures that had not
been shown elsewhere in North Caro
lina. ' -J'--.
. The management of the Carolina
Theatre has recently secured.'a long
time-lease: on the old "Pick" and will
open it; for business Thursday. Mr.
Smith will be manager or that thea
tre as well as continuing as manag
er of the Carolina theatre.. Mr.,
Smith . announces that the "Pick"
will open with a showing, of Harold
Lloyd in "Speedy'" .Every. Thurs
day will begiven to second "run pic
tures that liave pleased the students
extremely. Saturdays will' be de
voted to the showing of s Westerners,
while the, remainder of the week will
be given to first run pictures.
.Perhaps the greatest bit of news
to; the Carolina students is the fact
that the Carolina Theatre is . to in
stall a Vitaphone.' T,his is the only
theatre in a town of tliis size to have
the vitaphone, and one of' the few
theatres- in' North " Carolina. The
Vitaphone . to be installed at the
theatre will be the same as carried
in all large theatres.
During the past year the Carolina
theatre entertainted more than 8,000
people free, 5,000 of them, being stu
dents. ";: . '

that they have a right to differ v,ith
him and '.to seek to amend the constitution,-
and that they should not
be criticised if they undertake to do
so. It is known that Mr. Hoover is
persojiaUy wet and that he has never
raised his voice far prohibition either
in-private or in public, and that the
only time he has ever mentioned the
question at -all was in his letter to
Senator Borah, shortly before the
Kansas; City convention,' in. which he
stated that prohibition is a ''noble
experiment,"' The leaders of his
campaign in the West are preaching
that he is dry, and those in the East,
under the leadership of soaking wet
and uncompromising South-hater, Mr.
Moses,, are asserting that he is wet,
and that the chancss .for modifica
tion cf national prohibition under
Hoover will be better than under Gov.
Smith as president. -
