FRESHMAN FEED GIVEN LAST FRIDAY EVENING . Delightful Program Carried Out For the New Men. The Y. M. C. A. entertained the freshmen last Friday night with a "feed" and thereby re minded the homesick youths that after all, there is some thing good to eat at college as well as at home. Several guests were present, some to make speeches and some to help eat. And the whole af fair was a howling success, ac cording to Charlie Beck, who went to give the freshies a lit tle lesson in the "pep" line. Dr. Currell made the address of welcome, pointing out the things for which the university stood and urging the new men to make good use of their time while at college. Next came Mr. Reed, director of the Co lumbia Stage Society, who gave an imitation of one of Billy Sunday's sermons. After the encore he recited a part from some graveyard reminiscences. Mr. Bell was called upon to make a few remarks about the Y. M. C. A., but devoted his en tire time to a discusssion of the things a fellow ought to do at college. He even advised his hearers to seek early the girl of his choice, e'er he wait too long and find himself with a bald head and no girl. "Muggsy" Hennig gave an interesting dis cussion of the football season as it is to be. At this stage of the program the audience sang a song and then bore patiently with Mr. Bell while he emptied forth his soul in the words of "Katie." The program continued with an address by Prof. Ri viere. He urged the practice of building a well developed body and pointed to the fact that Amreican superiority was due to the three pointed form of development followed by the heads of our nation. "We be come weaker or stronger after eve(rv temptation; weakef jif we yield, stronger if we resist." Mr. Reed then favored the as semblage with a reading from the "Melting Pot," imitating the young Jew who takes the principal part of the play. The last address of the even ing was delivered by Mr. Chris tie Benet, one of the most en thusiastic supporters that Caro lina has. The keynote of his speech was "give and ye shall receive." He urged the new men to give their whole souls to the college and to never tire of supporting it. Several prom inent alumni were pointerd out Gymnasium Classes Showing Fine Form.
