Weather Hot enough to pop the corn which usually appears in this box. Volume LXIX, No. 9 OOF Have that closed-in-feeling? There's a reason. Enrollment this year is the highest in the University's history 8,592. This figure represents 633 students over the fall semester last year. Enrollment in the main Uni versity is 7,450 and in the Divi sion of Health Affairs 1,142. 6,260 are undergraduate stu dents, 1,306 are in the Graduate School, and 1,026 are in post- baccalaureate professional pro grams such as Law, Medicine, Dentistry, Library Science, So- UNC Traditions Cited Before Opening Game Nickname: Tar Heels. Adopt ed by the State University for its athletic teams because North Carolinians generally are known as Tar Heels. The nickname was applied to the area's residents as long ago as the Revolutionary War. Tar and turpentine were in abundance in North Carolina at that time. Legend has it that British generals noticed bare footed natives with tar on their heels and first applied the nick name. Mascot: The ram has been Carolina's mascot since 1924. Victor Huggins, then a student and head cheerleader and cur rently a Chapel Hill merchant, thought the football team should have a mascot. The first ram, bought by the Athletic Asso ciation for $25, was introduced in 1924. That date was November 7. and the Tar Heels defeated Virginia Military Institute 3-0. According to the best available records, the current ram is the seventh, apportionately called Rameses VII. The mascot is kept on Hogan Lake farm near Chapel Hill. School Colors: Carolina Blue and White. - Symbol: The victory bell, which is on the campus at preseni is awarded to the : winner of the Carolina-Duke game. This year the bell is at UNC following last year's 50-0 Carolina victory. The bell was established ten years ago by Norman Sper, Jr., and his assistant cheerleaders. Card stunts: The popular card stunt feature of Carolina home games was organized nine years ago by Norm Sper, Jr., then head cheerleader. Students sitting in the first section perform these stunts without previous direc tion or instruction although there is long preparation by the Card Board. Universiiy Band: The band usually numbers around 125 members. It is a popular fea ture at home games and some times a part of the Tar Heel traveling party. The band is di rected by Professor Earl Slo cum. Besides its part in home games the band plays for torch light parades and pep . rallies for the game. Its concerts under Davie Poplar on the heart of the campus are popular fea tures. Alma Mater: "Hark the Sound.' Tune is "AmicL" llmetit "57" BO 1 -V" - - ,,,, ... .

Student Works Being Sought By Quarterly The Carolina Quarterly will enter its 13th year of publica tion when the fall edition ap pears in late November. Richard Rickert, editor for the coming year, announced the continuing policy of the magazine to pub lish the best available work from campus and regional writ ers. Short fiction, critical ar ticles and poems are the core of the Quarterly. Other areas of cultural or social interest are introduced frequently. . The function of the Quarterly has consistently been to bring both an audience and a stimu lus to writers within the Uni versity's influence. - More than ever before the editors believe that the staff must be available to assist students with their fic tion and poetry. ' This naturally supplements any faculty . help with creative writing in the curriculum. INFIRMARY Students in the Infirmary yes terday included Mariel O'Dell, Nelda Smith, Carolyn Brown, Robert Jones, Benton McMil lan, Augustus Gregory, Sidney Williams, Howie Presslcy, Ver non Bruffey, William Riley, Joseph Dunn, Charles Clarke, William Johnson, James Browd- er, Nancy Reed, Thomas Sav age, Nancy Barr, Bryan Grimes, Ben Rushin, Charles Jonas, Stanley Phillips, Daniel Hurley, Gerald Bradley and William Lewis.

' New Filtering Theory Will Be Advanced Here Dr. John Hammersley of Ox ford University and the British Government's atomic energy laboratory at Harwell, England, will speak on "Percolation Pro cesses' a new probalistic theory of filtering, at the Statistics Col loquim Monday, September 26, at 4:00 p.m. in 215 Phillips Hall. This theory of filtering, worked out by Dr. Hammers ley and his associates, has many applications. One is to ward the belter understand ing and estimation of the flow of liquid through an obstruc tive medium such as oil through heterogeneous sand. Another application is toward the study and detection of random faults in structures and electrical networks. For example, in electronic com-, puters there are thousands of vacuum tubes and transistors and it is often a major prob lem io detect which particu lar element is at fault when a stoppage or malfunction oc curs. Dr. Hammersley is a member of the Oxford University Insti tute of Statistics. He is a lec turer at Trinity College, Oxford. Dr. Hammersley is also a con sultant of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority at Harwell, site of the first atomic pile in England. He has been awarded Doctor of Science degrees by both Ox ford and Cambridge, and is the author of numerous articles in scientific journals reporting re search on mathematical proba bility and its applications. This year, Dr. Hammersley reported his new findings on the rate of loss of comets from the solar system resulting from pulls by planets in random directions.

Four Pages This Issue Last week. State opened its season against Southern Con ference foe Virginia Tech. and won handily, 29-14. Sparked by the fine quarterbacking of ace Roman Gabriel, and the running of halfback Al Tay lor and fullback Jim D'An tonio, the Wolfpack showed signs of strength. The Tar Heels will be play ing" "their opening , game- this afternoon. The "Little Fox," coach Jim Hickey, will send his forces at the Wolfpack in al most perfect physical condition. The State team is also deemed in top physical shape. The Tar Heels will be led by co-captains Rip Hawkins, a center from Cowan, Tenn., and Frank Riggs, a guard from Baltimore, Md. Hawkins was the only Carolina player to make All-ACC first team. This year he is being boomed for All America honors. Riggs, a two year letterman, rates as one of the strongest guards in these parts and should be a top candidate for' all-conferenec honors. Last year North Carolina defeated State for the first time in four years, winning 20-12. The scries between these two schools dates back to 1894 when the Tar Heels beat the Aggies twice, 44-0, and 16-0. In the past five years, State holds a three- two edge. LINEUPS See Kencr. U.N.C.
