A comparatively low rate has been made for the round trip, and a large crowd is expected to witness the game. HENRY JOHNSTON CHAPEL SPEAKER Billy Arthur, Cheerleader, An- nounces Two Practices for Georgia Tech Game. In chaDel yesterday morning Henry Johnston, director of the bureau of vocational "informa tion, spoke to the freshmen on the subject of the factors which determine what one will get out of college. Johnston started out by say ing that men come to college for different reasons: some for ath letics, some come to enjoy col lege life, some because of friends, some because of pa rents, and some to prepare for future work. Whether or not one will be better fit for life when he leaves college depends, according to Johnston, on four main things: his haLits of work, his moral standards, , the care of his body, and the development of his per sonality ahd the social side of his life. Along with personality, which is very important, goes the ability to speak, to -express one's thoughts. Initiative is al so a very great asset. Johnston concluded by saying that everyone is the master of his own fate. One gets out of college just as much as one wants to. Johnston's speech was preced ed by a short talk by Billy Ar thur, head cheerleader, who . ex plained that the presence of girls in the cheering section at the last game had hindered the Cheerios from doing all' that they had hoped to do. He re quested all those who are not go ing to take anyone to the Geor gia Tech game to get seats in the cheering section. There will be two practices in Kenan Sta dium next week, of less than fifteen minutes each, for those who will do this. 1881 PHOTOGRAPH GIVEN UNIVERSITY An enlarged photograph of the University class of 1881, taken in front of South Building, near the Old Wall immediately after the conclusion of its Com mencement exercises, has been presented to this institution by Charles R.

Stedman, Veteran Congressman, Leaves Only Surviving Slernber of Class of '61, the Oldest Grad; Will Be Ninety-Three in January. o V . . The death in Washington, September 23, of Major Charles M. Stedman, veteran Congress man from North Carolina, leaves Captain William Poindex ter Timberlake, of Jackson, Ten nessee, as the only surviving member of the graduating class of 1861 of the University of North Carolina, a search through the class files in the General Alumni-Association offices in Chapel Hill discloses. Captain Timberlake will be 93 years of age in January. After his graduation from the Univer sity with an A.B. degree he served with distinction in the Confederate Army, fighting in several of the most important campaigns of the war between the states. After several months service in the rank he received a captain's commission for con spicuous bravery in action. Last week J. Maryon Saun ders, Alumni Secretary of the University, received a request for information about the class of 1861 from a member of the editorial department of the Jack son Sun, who is preparing an extensive article concerning the life of Captain Timberlake. His research in answer to the : re quest revealed a great deal of interesting information con cerning the class, which was one of the most unusual in the Uni versity's history. During the greater part of Captain Timberlake's under graduate life at the University of North Carolina, the institu tion was in the midst of its most brilliant period, with the possible exception of the past ten years. But when the class of 1861 reached its Commencement its ranks were already depleted Jby North Carolina's initial call to arms as it prepared to defend what it considered its rights. The Commencement of 1859 COFFM AN CHOSEN TO LECTURE AT EDUCATION MEET Dr. George R. Coffman, new head of the University English department, will speak before the North Piedmont District of the North Carolina Education Association assembled in High Point this afternoon, October the twenty-fourth.,. He will out line the objective An teaching punctuation and grammar.' There will be meetings of the various districts all over the state this fall. Dr. Raymond Adams stated yesterday that several members of the English department would very probably attend the Raleigh conference the seventh of November, as Chapel Hill is in the district with Raleigh. Dr. A. C. Howell will be on the program for the South eastern District in Fayetteville November 14, and Dr. Adams on the Northeastern program the twenty-first v of November in Greenville, N. C. Dr. Adams, district chairman of the State English Council, ex plained that this is the first year the meetings have been held in districts around the state. The custom was, formerly, to hold the education meetings in Ra leigh. The present plan was de signed to reach the teachers all over the state who might be un able to attend the one central conference. ,at Chapel Hill had witnessed the close of a highwater mark in student enrollment, with 430 members of the student body, including 185 from outside North Carolina. The presence! at the Commencement exercises of James Buchanan, president of the United States, and one of his cabinet members, Jacob Thompson, a University gradu ate of 1831, climaxed one of the institution's most successful years. But the year 1860-61 opened with a decided decrease in stu dent registration, due most probably to the unrest in na tional politics and the porten tious rumblings of internal strife. Only 376 students were enrolled, including 155 from out of the . state. From Tennessee came 26 students, including William Poindexter Timberlake. As the year wore on the rum blings of dissension between the states became more ominous, and political excitement in creased prodigiously. When in December, 1860, South Carolina passed her Ordinance of Seces sion, the concensus of opinion was that war was inevitable. But sentiment against secession was strong in North Carolina, as well as in Tennessee. Not until Abraham Lincoln's proclamation of April 27, 1861, declaring ports of North Caro lina and Virginia covered by the Federal blockade, did North Carolina take steps toward se cession. Other Southern states had already passed secession bills, and as each state passed such ordinances, its citizens in the University student body hurried home, burning with zeal to talce up arms. Those re maining were in a state of tur moil. Near the end of the scholas (Continued on last page) jLEAR IS PRESENT AT ENGINEERING COUNCIL MEETING John E. Lear, vice-president of the North Carolina Board for Registering of Engineers, has just returned from Richmond, Virginia, where he attended a meeting of the National Council of State Boards of Engineering Examiners., The meeting lasted from Tuesday morning until Wednesday afternoon.

There are now thirty-one states which have these boards arid all of these had representatives at the meet ing Tuesday and Wednesday.

VILLAGE COUNCIL EXPLAINS RULES AGAINSTBUliillNG Local Government Draws Up Regulations Regarding Bum ming and Street Conduct. The town of Chapel Hill has drawn up certain rules and re gulations which are of vital in terest to, the student body as well as to, citizens of the town. These laws concern bumming, riding over the fire hose, bus stops, and improper use of the sidewalks and streets. Oh Bumming. Section 1. No pedestrian shall be permitted to take a stand on the motor vehicular portion of any street in the town or in any manner obstruct motor vehicular traffic, and that on crossing the street, all persons shall keep in motion while in this portion of the street. Section 2. That any person guilty of violating this notice willfully shall be subject to a fine of ?50.00 in the discretion of the court.

On Bus Stops. Section 1. It shall be unlawful for any person operating a bus on Franklin street, between the intersections at Columbia street and Hillsboro street to stop the said bus for the purpose of ad mitting or discharging passeng ers, except at the following sta tions: viz, the bus station, the Carolina Theatre, and at Spencer HaH.

COMMITTEE WE REFUND FEE FOR ENTERTAMiIENTS No Place Ready for Presenting Programs, So Students Will Be Credited With Fee. Rather than attempt to pre sent inferior programs under poor conditions the Student En tertainment Committee has voted to acredit each student in the college of liberal arts and the school, of education with hi3 entertainment fee for the- winter quarter. This decision means that instead of paying the usual yearly assessment of three dollars, these students will only have to pay two dollars. For weeks the personnel of the Committee has been casting about for a suitable place to stage productions and present artists who were to have been brought to the campus. In turn the question of using the Tin Can, the Methodist church, and the new Music Auditorium, have come up. For the reason that the Tin Can is always cold during the fall and winter months this idea was rejected. The . church authorities naturally enough did not care to have presented all the various types of entertain ments that the Committee will bring to Chapel Hill. The Music Auditorium will seat but one third of the number who usually attend the programs, and since this building will not be opened to public use until November 14, this also was considered im practical. The Committee was chosen to offer its first . importations shortly after Christmas in the winter quarter, immediately fol lowing the dedication of the new auditorium. They are at work at the present time considering en gagements and expect to meet next Wednesday for the purpose of arranging bookings. DEMOCRATS PLAN MONSTER RALLY Ehringhaus To Address Party Meeting in High School November 1. Mr. J. C. B. Ehringhaus, prom inent Democratic leader of Elizabeth City, will address a huge rally of Democrats of Orange County and the Univer sity Saturday night, November 1, at eight o'clock in the Chapel Hill High School auditorium or the Tin Can. Definite arrange ments as to the meeting place have not been made yet. This rally has as its purpose the furtherance of the candidacy of Josiah W. Bailey, Democratic nominee for senator, and other Democratic nominees. Many of the outstanding Democratic leaders of the state -will also be present. The meeting is under the auspices of the Young Demo cratic League of North Carolina of which Ray Farris is field sec retary. - ' Farris plans to stage a cam paign to create interest in-poli-tics here at the University and hopes that all interested students will attend the rally. An inter esting program will be arranged. Comers Return Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Comer re turned yesterday from a trip through Virginia with Mrs. Comer's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. White of Mason, Texas.
