Shemwell In an address before the fresh man class yesterday morning, Ed Hudgins, University graduate and Rhodes scholar at Oxford university last year, discussed the various phases of college life in England and contrasted it with life in the American uni versities. Dean Francis F. Bradshaw in troduced the speaker, and Hud gins first expressed his gratif ica tion at being back home. He then told of his impressions when he first reached England before entering Oxford. As he -expressed it, he felt as if he were in a new world, and knew that it would take him some time to become accustomed to the change. Hudgins brought out several differences in the educational systems' of England and . the united states, une remarKapie difference, he stated, was the fact that the English undergra duate is much older and matur ed than the American student, and that the college freshmen at Oxford is fully as well pre pared as the average j unior in America. 1 Another difference, he brought out was the manner in which the class divisions were so much more tightly drawn than are our own. It seems that only the upper classes of young K tie-land receive hierher educa tion. The methods of instructions are also very dissimilar to our own. There are no classes or class meetings of any description with the exception of occassional (Continued on last page) , GLEE CLUB WILL HOLDTRY-OUTS Dyer Announces Office Hours, and Urges Conferences for New Year. The glee club met Thursday afternoon at five o'clock in the music building with Mr. Dyer, who has charge of the club.

Mr. Dyer urges all men, who are out for the glee club, to drop in at his office for not more than five minutes on either Mondays, Tuesdays or Thurs days at which time he wishes to learn something about each man and his ability to sing. The men are urged to come in groups, and not wait until the last day. Dyer has office hours of : 8 :30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., and from 1:45 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. every day except Wednesdays.

Dr. Abernathy stated that the ourniquet applied by students immediately after the accident robably saved the life of the in jured" man.

"I think that the greatest weakness of many lawyers is that sometimes in their eager ness to find far-fetched argu ments in support of their cases they fail to master the facts in the case' President Frank P. Graham said in his address last night at exercises which marked the formal opening of the Uni versity law school. The exercis es were held under the auspices of the Law school association. President Graham told the law students to learn to master the details while they were in col lege as the weaknesses cultivat ed in studying would prove their greatest weaknesses in practice. He then pointed out how the law yers occupy strategic places in the life of this state as leaders of great movements. In review ing the history of this state one would find many instances when lawyers stepped from strategic places at critical times, he said. As an example he told of a law yer who led the movement to defeat the Poole bill in the le gislature. "I know of no prfessions that offer a greater personal of pub lic opportunity than law," he said.' J. A.

After these two days in which the freshmen are to be received at the houses, the rushing season will begin in earnest, withr each fraternity man trying to persuade the gul lible f rosh that his particular lodge is the best on the Hill, in the state, or even in the country. Some of the more important rules to which special attention should be paid by all those in any way affected by fraternities, freshmen and upperclassmen alike, are: A freshman must visit every lodge which has in vited him within the next two days, or he will never be allowed to join a fraternity at Chapel Hill. No fraternity may make more than two dates with a freshman until after the closing of the formal visiting period on Saturday night. Freshmen should notice this as well as fra ternity men.
