Experts State Tar Heels Will
- Have Easy Time With
Deacons. '
Chapel Hill and the Univer
sity campus were quiet yester
day on the eve of the first foot
ball game of the season with
the Wake Forest College eleven.
Fraternity rushing superceded
the approaching game in the in
terest of both freshmen and up
perclassmen. Then too, in view of the ap
parent superiority of the Caro
lina team over the Baptists this
year, the contest will probably
be devoid of the ordinary thrills
attending a contest with Wake
Forest. Since this afternoon's
game will, no doubt, be little
more than a practice session, it
will be only a partial indication
of what to expect from the blue
and white varsity later in the
season. - !
So, the crowd will probably
not exceed that of last year.
However, hundreds of alumni,
who are to be here for the ban
quet in the Carolina Inn tonight,
will help to augment the at
tendance. Other games in the
state, of greater interest, will
probably attract a large number
of pigskin fans. The fact that
advance ticket sales are low in
dicates this. "
Traffic, before and after the
game, and parking will be hand
led by the Chapel Hill police
with the aid of a; few state high
way patrolmen. East-bound
cars will be parked on the in
tramural field and west-bound
vehicles on freshman field. pThe
small size of the crowd will
hardly make for any serious
traffic congestion as occurs at

ALUMNI BANQUET
WILL MARK NEW
LOYALTY APPEAL
Graham and Gardner To Be
Chief Speakers At Banquet
Presided Over by Leslie Weil.
A banquet tonight in the Caro
lina Inn will mark the formal
opening of the 1930 appeal of
the alumni loyalty fund. Three
hundred committeemen and class
agents representing practically
every county in the State and
every living class are expected
to attend, according to informa
tion given out this morning by
Felix A. Grisette, director of the
fund.
The feature of the meeting to
night will be two addresses, one
by President Frank Porter Gra
ham, and the other by Governor
O. Max Gardner. Leslie Weil of
Goldboro, a member of the board
of trustees of the University and
chairman of the loyalty fund
council, will preside during the
dinner, after which the meeting
will be in charge of L. P. Mc
Lendon, of Durham, as toast
master. ' -
The committeemen and class
agents will be guests of the Uni
versity athletic association at the
Carolina-Wake Forest game this
afternoon. The banquet will fol
low soon after the game, getting
under way not later than six
o'clock, thus leaving ample time
for guests who live within a rea
sonable distance to return home
tonight.

Technical Schools Have Developed Along Broad Lines; Large In
crease in Enrollment Marks -Growth Since Establish
ment as Separate School in 1922
By Dean G. M. Braune
When reviewing the history
of the University of North Caro
lina one is impressed with the
early endeavor, of the institu
tion to include in its curriculum
courses in engineering.
The first student to seek ad
mission to the University in
1795 Hinton James of Wil
mingtonelected as a career
the practice of engineering. As
evidence of the sound training
he received and of his engineer
ing ' ability, the remains of cer
tain dikes constructed by him in
the eastern part of the state are
still visible today.
In the early days of the Uni
versity the faculty apparently
realized the wisdom of offering
some instruction in engineering,
since in the catalog on 1853 is
listed the "School of application
of science to the arts" in which
was included a department of
civil engineering, naming Char
les Phillips as its professor; In
each catalog thereafter a de
partment of civil engineering
was listed until the University
was closed in 1868. Beginning
with the reopening in 1875 a
college of engineering is listed
in the catalog with the outline
GRAHAM SPEAKS
- TO EX-ffl-Y MEN
Student Leaders Heard at Ban-
- quet Also; Friendship Coun
cil Officers Are. Chosen.
Before a group of about fifty
boys President Frank Graham
spoke at the Ex Hi-Y banquet on
the importance of not neglect
ing to develop the moral and re
ligious side of life during the
four years of life on this cam
pus. He pointed out that as one
did on this campus during one's
college careers so would one do
after leaving here and entering
life "You boys who joined this
organization," he said, "are
taking an important step in your
lives.
Preceding President Graham's
speech members of the board of
directors of Y. M. C. A. each in
turn had a word to say to the
freshmen. Various student lead
ers also were introduced to the
group. Ed Hamer, president of
the "Y", in his remarks showed
the meaning and purpose of the
organization that these new men
were forming in the Y. M. C. A.
and its meaning to them and to
the campus.
The last part of the evening
was devoted to the election of
the officers of the Freshmen
Friendship Council for the com
ing year. The voting for all the
positions was very close. Grah
am McLeod of Raleigh was el
ected president;" J. Houston
Barnes, of Greensboro, vice-president;
James No well of Ral
eigh, secretary ; and Jack Ham
mer, of Wilmington, treasurer.

GY AND CULTURE
of a course of studies extending
over a period of three . years.
This arrangement continued for
a number of years, when the
courses in engineering became a
part of the department of math
ematics, and later were1 included
under the school of applied sci
ence. Separate School Since 1922
The present school of engi
neering dates from June, 1922,
when the board of trustees au
thorized the establishment of a
separate school to include the
various departments of engi
neering. This brief history would indi
cate that the University of
North Carolina was prabably the
first institution in the South to
offer engineering courses and, in
fact, one of the pioneers of
America to offer this type of in
struction. As it is at present constitut
ed; the school comprises the de
partments of civil, electrical and
mechanical engineering and the
curriculum of chemical engineer
ing. The department of me
chanical engineering offers an
option in aeronautical engineer
ing in the senior year.

HOWELL ISSUES
ENGLISH VOLUME
Designed for Use of Practicing
Engineers and As a
Textbook.
John Wiley and Sons, New
York publishers, have announc
ed A . Handbook of English in
Engineering Usage by Dr. A.
C. Howell, professor of English
and Assistant Dean of the Grad
uate school in the University.
The book is designed as a
textbook in college courses in
Engineering English.
' "It is time," writes Dr. How
ell in the preface, "to face
squafely the fact that for the
majority of engineers English is
primarily a tool for advancement
in their profession. This book
is written to serve as a guide for
the engineer who wishes to make
his English clear, accurate, . and
concise.
"Such a handbook is import
ant for the engineer as import
ant as his handbooks in other
branches of his work. He has
such books giving constants and
formulas in the scientific sub
jects. This little book attempts
to do as much for his English;"
The volume is small, clear, and
compact. It is surprising the
amount of material Dr. Howell
has been able to assemble' be
tween the covers of its 200 pag
es.
One interesting feature of the
book is a section devoted to
writing for publication, contain
ing valuable information in re
gard to preparation, submission,
and proof reading of articles for
the technical press.

RAHAM SPEAKS
TO SOPHOMORES
Declares Practice of Hazing Has
No Place in Univer
sity Life.
President Frank Graham ad
dressed the class of '33 in Ger
rard hall yesterday morning at
the regular chapel hour, using
as the subject of his message
the subject of hazing and its das
tardliness. He told how, with a
little backbone and courage,
three boys, who were destined
to become great men later on in
life, started the fine and noble
issue of abolishing hazing. He
also related sad and most pa
thetic tragedy which was due
to the effects of hazing, back in
the early years of the Univer
sity. "Hazing is not only against
the law of our student govern
ment but is against the law of
the state of North Carolina, and
shall be published accordingly'
quoted President Graham. It is
described by the President as an
inferiority complex and, as he
says; "it is sadly depreciative of
the hazer's character and good
judgment. Not only does hazing
harm the character of an indi
vidual, but his personality is
greatly impaired by being party
to a thing so low in the sight
of every true and loyal Carolina
man."
"Hazing belongs to no place
in all the institutions of learn
ing, but if it has to be some
where by dint of percentage, we
should let the prep schools and
military academies have our
share, because that is truly
where hazing is most prevalent
and mostly carried on."
Open Season For Freshmen As
Greeks Begin Annual Campaign
By George Wilson
King Rushing, with his glam
orous garments, and his subtle
decoys, began his three weeks
reign at 2:00 yesterday after
ngon. Quiet, peaceful was his
coronation, but when he waved
his royal sceptre to give his
first order, that his subject
freshmen be allowed admittance
at the portals of fraternities, a
veritable babel broke forth,
Nor was the coming of the
king unheraled. For weeks, even
as far back :as last spring, ex
tensive snares have been laid to
entice freshmen into the grip of
the order.
The most extensive wiles be
gan to make their appearance
this week, when the phonograph
records left over from last
spring were replaced and the
photograph album was idusted
off, when pictures and banners
were hung, and new crisp and
clean cards were"bought.
But the lodges were not the
only things veneered ; the inhabi
tants themselves suffered the
fate of their houses. They were
washed, pressed, repainted, and
had their splotches covered; Like
the curtains of. the house, their
best manners tact, and good
nature were taken from the bot

following the death of the late
Dr. James Finch Royster, is the

FIRST GRAIL OF
SEASONTONIGHT
Large Dance Crowd Expected
By Club Officials.
With music by Jack Wardlaw
and his orchestra, the first Grail
dance oi: the fall quarter will be
staged in Bynum Gymnasium
tonight from nine till twelve
o'clock. Tickets for the affair
will be on sale at the rear door
of the gym at 8 :30 this evening.
A ticket sale was also conduct
ed from the Student Supply
Store and Pritchard-Lloyd drug
store yesterday afternoon.
The dance committee of the
Order of the Grail, sponsors of
the dance, have reiterated their
rule that absolutely no freshmen
are allowed to attend Grail danc
es, under penalty of - being sus
pended from dances during their
sophomore year.
This, the first dance of the fall
season, is expected to be unus
ually well-attended by young
people here for the Wake Forest-Carolina
game this after
noon. If the plans of the com
mittee are followed, the opening
dance will be especially good.

Bible rests now in solitude.
And the rushees, unheedful
of the extent of preparation for
them, were likewise, but with
fear and trembling, having
themselves ref inished. They
undertook the difficult task of
making sure of themselves.
To the upperclassman, the ex
pression is always, "These blank
freshmen are nuisances and to
the freshman the expression,
"Why in the blank can't I get my
bids, if any, without all' this
trouble?"
King Rushing will have a
busy time during the remaining
part of the season, for this is
one of the most extensive cam
paigns undertaken by the Greeks
on the Hill. Three thousand in
vitations were printed by the
Inter-Fraternity Council, and
every one of them was taken,
whether with the partial pur
pose of defeating other lodges
by cornering the invitations or
not is unknown. -
Freshmen, a goodly number of
them, have shown their' ignor
ance and excitability already.

whether or not he should go
home for the week-end, or have

took the examination. Only 89
of the total of 134 who took the
examination were successful.
To be certified for the exami
nation by the University law
school, a student must study
here two years and, in addition,
take the regular subjects pre
scribed by the Supreme Court.
Certification by the law school
is not, a prerequisite, however,
for taking the examination.
