Saunders of Elizabeth City, in full swing in Chapel Hill, the home of Louis Graves, who first suggest ed the idea, many freshmen in eluded in their wardrobes loud y colored pajama suits, with belt oops, suspender buttons, and plenty of other accessories. Desiring to become a "Carol ina Man" as quickly as possible, these freshmen have been going over the campus, inquiring about the Pajama Club that was re ported to have been organized here during the summer- And if Jupiter Pluvius had not kept his appointment with the opening of the University, doubtlessly they would already have had a pajama parade.

With the constant increase in extra-curricular activities in colleges and universities all over the country, students entering upon a( career within the aca demic walls today should keep always in mind the fact that their chief mission is to get an education. Such was the admonition that President Harry Woodburn Chase gave the University of North Carolina students yester day as they set out upon a new year. . The formal opening marked the beginning of the 136th year of the oldest state university in America. The exercises were held in Memorial Hall, with Francis F. Bradshaw, Dean of Students, presiding. Dr. Chase delivered the address, and Rev. Eugene Olive, pastor of the Baptist church, conducted the devotional exercises. Appropri ate musical selections were ren dered by the Carolina Tar Heels orchestra, under the direction , of Alex Mendenhall. Welcoming both old and new students, Dr. Chase urged them to make the most of every op portunity for growth during the year-w..-...- Participation in social organi zations, athletics, and other extra-curricular activities is fine and commendable, but students should bear in mind that their main objective, after all, in coming here is to get a college education. . Studies come first and should not be allowed to suffer because of participation in the various student activities, although the latter are important, Dr. Chase admonished. "Don't live in a partial world, learn to live steadily and as a whole and not in the compart ments and sections in which some of us are prone to pass our existence," he advised. "Take part in athletics, join a fraternity, or take part in any of the numerous extra-curricular activities, if you wish, but don't forget that you are an in dividual and that youd own de velopment is the main thing. Use your organization and work through it, but don't let is dom inate your individuality. "The tendency to be all alike is one of the unfortunate things about American colleges today. "The real question you must face four years from now is whether you have a college edu cation. It's entirely possible for a man to go through college and come out essentially an unedu cated man. An educated man is one who makes some progress in understanding the world in which he is living." "Your instructors can't force education down you, but the op portunity is here and it is your privilege and duty to grasp it." Phi To Hold First Meeting Tuesday The Philanthropic Assembly will hold its first meeting of the year next Tuesday night, Sep tember 24, at 7:15 o'clock. There will be business of con siderable importance, including the installation of new officers.
