It 3 requested that every member who can' possibly do so please be present HUGE CROWD VOTES - - Fifteen Students and One Fac ulty Member Vote for Thomas. A grand total of 1188 votes was polled in the presidential straw ref erendum held Thursday. The con test was held in the name of the Stu dent Body, sanctioned by Ed Hud gins, president, but the active man agement was in the hands of the Democratic and Republican clubs, headed by Phil Whitley, of Wendell, and Tom Rollins of Asheville, respect ively. Great interest was manifest ed throughout the day, the poll3 be ing crowded at all times, and several orations were delivered by , campus political leaders to their partisans in the course of the contest. Among the" more vociferous of the Anti Smith Democrats was Miss Sarah Purrington, famous as a feminine political leader for the past several years, who though not in school now, happened to pass by the election booth and could not resist the temp tation to indulge in old time activi ties, An analysis of the vote reveals that 744 students voted for Smith and 36 faculty members for a total of 780, while 288 students and 4 faculty mem bers voted together for Hoover for a total of 392. The name of Norman Thomas did not appear in the ticket but was written in sixteen times, his vote being divided7 among 15 students and one faculty member. It is also of interest to note that Smith's margin is approximately the same as it was in the straw vote last spring, when he polled 509 to 261 for Hoover, The University is said to be a cross section of life in the state, ooys from nearly all of the 100 coun ties m North Carolina being regis tered here. If this is Carolina is much stronger for Smith than the press and other straw votes throughout -the state have indicated. Discounting the natural enthusiasm of youth for a leader of magnetic and glowing personality, he would still carry the old North State by a hand some majority.

TURNER SPEAKS AT CHAPEL MEET Pastor of First Baptist Church, Greensboro, Gives Inter esting: Talk. ' Conquerors of Notre Dame Has Greatest Team in History of Institution; Heels To Present Strongest Line-up of Season. COACH SHIFTS LINE, Carolina Ready for Tech Plays; Hoosier Clash Well Scouted By Heels. "Thinking, trying, toiling, trusting, but the greates of these , four is trusting," were the closing words of a chapel talk given last Thursday by ur. j.. iivae Turner, nastnr nf t.hp irst Baptist Church of Greensboro who is conducting a series of evange- istic services at theBaptist Church. n beginning his talk, Dr. Turner said that at one time, there was a banquet held in Philadelphia to which were invited mayors, Supreme Court judges, and other prominent citizens. This banquet was given in honor of A Golden Tornado that has engulf ed ' everything within reach in its treacherous arms blows over Kenan Field this afternoon and will seek to sweep the Tar Heels of the University of North Carolina into its folds. Not only has the rapidly moving tor nado from Atlanta, turned southern teams back but reached national pro minence last Saturday when it swept the many times national champions from Notre Dame off Grant Field with" a 13-0 victory. The Techmen will meet a Tar Heel team that gave them a great battle last fall. Every sports writer in Atlanta remembers the great game the Heels played last year . when C the Georgia team was lucky to eke out a 13-0 victory over the Carolina eleven, and without doubt quite a few of the Atlanta players remember that same game when the Heels swept down the field four times to within inches of Tech's goal only to lack the punch to . pub the ball over. It is well remem bered how the 1927 Tech team barely managed to score its first six pointer and then scored again in the last minutes of the game, when "Stumpy" Thompson broke loose and ran three" quarterS-Bf the length of the field for another touchdown. "'he Blue "Team that toot the field against Georgia Tech last year was' famous for its ability to carry, the ball to within the shadow of its op ponents goal and then to lack the punch to score. But this vear Coach . Collins has a different team repre senting Carolina. The Tar ' Heels' have gained the necessary confidence and are leading the North Carolina teams in scoring to date.

'When asked by v a representative of a magazine what was the secret of his success, Wannamaker said, 'I can tell you in just one sentence. That sentence has only four words, and those words all begin with the letter T. That sentence was Thinking, try ing, toiling, trusting " In explaining these words of John Wanamaker, Dr. Turner said "We do not take time to think. Thought life is ' thesculpture that molds our character. We ought to .take the time to think about the serious- things of life. In reference to trying, Mr. lurner asserted that we all have ideals, but that most of us are con tent to sit and let our visions fade away. "Toiling is just another word for just good old hard work," was Dr. Turner's statement. "Nothing comes not as a result of work. Trusting, the crown of it all, is walking in the light of the glow from the eternal. It is walking hand-in-hand with' God." Chi Psi Entertains With House Party The Chi Psi fraternity is entertain ing at its first house-party of the year, held in honor of visiting girls and alumni, who are attending the Carolina-Georgia Tech game. Among those present are Misses Evelyn and Mary Lou Colburn, Eu nice Glenn, Jane Lynch, and Salley J ackson, of Asheville ; Ruth Buchan, of Henderson; Mary Malone Best of LouisburgjrPat Miller of Greensboro; liilizabeth and Margaret Green, of Richmond, Va.; Kathryn Warlick, of Duke University; Betty White of Lumberton; Ellen Agee, of Anniston, Ala.; Dorothy Evans of Raleigh: Sa rah Oliver of Pine Level ; Elizabeth and Virginia Mobley and Lillian Rob inson of Charlotte. Chaperones for the occasion will be Mrs. Colburn, of Asheville, and Mrs. Green, of Richmond. The Phi Alpha fraternity an nounces the pledging of Robert L. Kushner cf Danville, Va. downs. In conference nlav tho TToola have scored 40 points to 35 scored by their opponents. ' Both teams will send brilliant play ers into . the fray. Coach Alexander has more stars to use than Coach Col lins, but none of them shine more brightly. Two of the greatest south ern centers to face each other in re cent years will match wares this after noon. Peter Pund will lead the Tech men while Harry Schwartz captains the Heels. In all probability there will be another great battle such as was waged last fall in Atlanta be tween those two centers, Schwartz's outstanding work in that game won him praise throughout the South. While the brilliant Pund has gilded himself with mythical all southern honor. Both of these luminaries are Seniors and both are leading the greatest teams their institutions have known since they first donned varsity unuorms. But mentors will have more in their lines than these two stars. f!nni Alexander will have Waddey Sneer. and Drennon along with Pund in his forward wall. Three of the regulars in the forward, wall of the Techmen will not start against the Heels due to injuries. However, their, places will be well filled. Behind this line there will be four of the most brilliant backs in the south, Duranf, Mizell, Thomason and Randolph. These four men have played sensational football this fall and have worried all of Tech's op ponents with their uncanny ability to do almost everything a back is sup posed to do and to do all of them well. But Coach Alexander does not depend on these backs entirely for he has several reserve backs whose names have been strung across the sport pages on more than one occasion. A plunging Texas Ranger, Father Lump kin, heads this list. . Lumpkin is one of the hardest driving backs in the south. He stands well over six feet in his socks and he packs a ' heavy punch. The big boy has cracked every line he has been against this year for gains. Atlanta fans doubt if the Heels can stop him. (Continued on page four)
