SURVEY MADE OF
HAZING OF FROSH
No Abnormal Conditions Reveal
ed in Freshman Accounts of
Attentions t from Upperclass
men. ' .
As a result of the recent discussion
of the treatment given freshmen at
the University by the upperclassmen
a survey was made in Chapel Wed
nesday morning,, which revealed no
adnormal conditions.
The -Dean of Students had blank
papers passed among the freshmen
gathered in Memorial Hall and ask
ed each new man to give an account
of the reception he had received from
older students since he had entered
the University. No names were
"signed" to the statements nor were
the names of any upperclassmen men
tioned.. "What we want is an accurate
picture of freshman life during the
first few weeks of the year," Mr.
Bradshaw declared. "The best way
of obtaining this picture is by taking
a cross section of the class and learn
ing the reactions of the individual
members.
The whole freshman class coope
rated with the Dean in making the
survey and the extent of the response
proved satisfactory. After making
a careful reading of all the slips
turned in, Mr. Bradshaw said th&t
"they indicated ' about what was to be
expected. '

Work is progressing at a splendid
rate on the new library, according' to
the contractors. When completed the
building will be the largest on the
campus and one of the most magnifT
icent library structures in the coun
try. Situated to the rear, of South
Building and between Venable Hall
and the new Commerce -building; it
will form a new quadrangle. Con
tractors state that the structure will
be completed early next summer.
No announcement has been made
as to the disposition of the old li
brary building: It is a capacious
structure, but library officials have
been handicapped in; their work for
several years on account of lack of
space. ;.
Begun just before the close of
school last spring, the - building op
erations on the new structure have
only recently reached the p6int
where it has begun to take on the
definite outlines that will make
of it the most capacious and
most beautiful building on the
campus.

Speaks at Annual Opening Ex
ercises of Law School in Man
ning Hall Tuesday Night.
The fifth annual opening exercises
of the 'Law School were held Tues
day night in Manning Hall under the
auspices :' of the ; University -La w
School Association. (
Professors Albert Coates, of the
Law School, orginatedthe . idea of
having a formal opening of the law
school which conforms to the plan
of college night exercises employed in
the undergraduate body, and five
years ago the Law School Associa
tion sponsored the first of these
exercises. Since then one has been
held each year.
Dean McCormick, who was the
principle speaker of the occasion,
delivered his address in a very col
orful manner. He began his speech
by saying that the University Law
School was now beginning its 83rd
year, after quite a successful and
fruitful past. He pointed out the
manner in which the" Law School had
grown in the last few years, and
added: "in the past year, for ex
ample, the curriculum was enriched
by the offering of such new courses
directly related to business problems
as Trade Regulations ancf Credit
Transactions, and by the bringing in
of lawyers and judges to aid in pre
senting laboratory courses - in trial
and office practice.
"The faculty," continued Dean Mc
Cormick, "has been increased to eight
members and thus we have the larg
est faculty of full time law teachers
in the Southeast."
Mr. McCormick touched upon the
growth of the Law, Library, and
stated that it was "augmented dur
ing' the past year by 5000 books.- It
now contains over 18,000 well select
ed volumes, including the statutes
and decisions of all the states."
In speaking of courts and the fu
ture for lawyers, Mr, McCormick
stressed honesty and independence.
"Be free. Have the courage of
your own thoughts,"' he urged.
"Again have the courage of your
own opinions even about the decisions,
of courts. We are not medieval
monks disputing over the interpreta
tion of the words of a sacred text.
We are attempting critically to val
ue each opinion of the courts in the
light of general legal and social
principles. Stand forth for the faith
that is in you." '
Besides Dean McCormick, there
were several other speakers on the
program. Robert Giles, the presi
dent of the third year law class gave
a short talk. " Henry Brandis, presi
dent of the Second Year law class,
followed him, and. Charles Price, of
the first year class, made a sliort
talk. R. B. House, executive secre
tary of the University, spoke in be
half of University officials.
If you decline to act like a dicta
phone, the whispering campaign
will have no effect upon you. Mil

Wild Black Bear Raises Big
Hullabaloo and Drinks Coca
Colas on Durham Highway
Ten Men, Half -Gallon of Corn Juice, and Three Morphine Tablets
Required to Change Collar of Brute Tethered at
Black Bear Filling Station,
o- - '
(By Joe Jones)
Zoologically inclined students of
the University now have a splendid
opportunity to examine at .close
range a four hundred and twenty
pound piece of honest and truly live
bear meat; said meat being conveni-
ently. tethered right alongside the
Chapel Hill-Durham pike, just three
miles from the .Hill,, where Durham
county meets Orange, and where
stands the Black Bear Pilling Station.
By the grace of two posts, a cross
piece of steel railroad tie, an extra
heavjj chain, and an iron collar the
animal remains stationary for all
sightseers. ,
- Beast With a History
Now, this bear, like everything
else, has a history. In the first place
he hails from the great swamps of
New Bern. According to his negro
attendant, and Body-guard, A Jack
Goines, the presence of the creature
was first suspected in that neighbor
hood when a two hundred and fifty
pound hog was found killed and
thrown over a fence into the swamp.
A great steel trap being immediately
set, the marauder was caught; but
he carried trap, chain, and drag off
into the woods, and was not found for
two days. With the drag hopelessly
lodged between 'two trees, the captive
had dug a hole six feet deep, and was
hiding therein. This was eighteen
months ago.
Dope, Ten Men, Half-Gallon Required
He was crated and brought to this
section last July. Young; Goines
stated that it took ten men to crate
the brute, and that during the melee
he grasped a plow-line between two
claws, whereupon it took the com
bined strength of two two-hundred
pound men to extricate it. Further
more, ten men, one-half gallon of
liquor, and three morphine tablets
were required in changing the bear's
collar. Hunters declare him to be an
extraordinarily huge black bear, and
say that he is probably eight or, ten
years old. " s
Just, because he looks docile with
an iron chain holding him doesnt
mean that the beast has become tame
and tractable. He is neither tamed

RRADSMW TELLS
MESHGIEN NOT
TOOBEYHAZERS
All Forms of Hazing Are Viola
tions of University Rules and
State Laws, Says Dean.
; "No form of hazing whatsoever is
permissable on this campus", declared
Dean F. F. Bradshaw to the assem
bled freshman class in chapel Tues
day morning:
In discussing the matter, .he. took
issue with the editorial which appear
ed in Tuesday's Tar Heel advising the
new men to accept willingly and
graciously any minor demands made
by upperclassmen but to,, report grave
infractions of the rule. .
- "Hazing is hazing and there are no
limits with which to draw the line.
All forms of hazing are obsolete, both
brutal beating and such pranks as
rolling a peanut across the floor with
one's nose or wrestling with one's
conscience. These are all infractions
of the rules of the University and of
the laws of the state." '
Mr. Bradshaw then reviewed r the
history of hazing, relating the deplor
able incident in which one - student
was killed and which resulted in the
non-hazing regulations. After tell
ing of his personal experiences while
a freshman, he advised all new men
to accede to no demands made upon
them by upperclassmen. ..

LIBRARY OFFERS NEW
REFERENCE SERVICES
With the opening of the fall quar
ter the University library offers
two new services in the form of an
information assistant at the circula
tion desk and an" evening reference
service, it was announced by library
officials yesterday.
Until this year-the library has not
offered a night reference service.

regular library staff will be in the
reference room from seven to ten

ty in finding material and to give
help in the use of the Library.

capacity during each hour of the
day. It is the business of this assis
tant to answer all questions which
come to the desk or to refer them to

assistant will serve as a distributing
point for queries from users of the
library thus insuring a more effi
cient means of obtaining information.
Those unfamiliar with the library
are urged to ask for help from cith
er the information or reference as
sistant, they state.
