The Fresh man
Good Speakers Heard at Y'
Annual Affair
All hail to Mr. Bell, one of the greal
est worries of his aninal life ha
passed into the glorious past. Tle uti
initiated will wonder why all ti
flowery oratory, but haven't you hear
The annual Freshman banquet hn.
passed into history. And such a bat
quet, we thought "our" feed was th
antelope's ankles, but last year it wi
better than ever. Then for the ne,
class of Freshmen R. G. once agai
goes out and covers himself wit
glory for the fifth successive time.
A few minutes before the hour c
seven about 200 freshmen began to af
semble in the lobby of the city "Y
Promptly at the appointed hour ti,
doors were thrown open and the gran
rush began. The invocation was pr<
nounced by Professor P. M. Teeple, c
the Engin.cering School. Immediatel
followig this the repast was servei
consisting of the following delicacie,
Fruit cocktail, chicken, green pea
creamed potatoes, rolls, pickles, icc
tea, block ice cream and cakes.
The first talk on the program follom
ing the dinner was that of the Re
R. A. Lapsey, pastor of the First lPre:

tation to call upon him at any tin
they, needed help of a personal or relij
ions nature, he spoke upon their desii
to make the spiritual welfare of tt
University student part of their wort
the pastors at all times are delight(
to confer with a student upon his we
being. Quoting ex-governor Burcke
of North Carolina, Dr. L,apsey sa
"that a well educated man is the (v.
who can make the most out of at
situation." "\ man is a three cylind<
machine." said Mr. ,apsey, "one ey

physical being lie is able to run wit
only these two cylinders working, h

i ENROLLMENT AT CAROLINA
PASSES 755 MARK
Increase Shown in all Depart
ments.
Judging by the figures now available
- it seemis that the enrollment at the Un
e iversity this year is going far over that
I of previous years. Last year the total
number of stidents at the end of the
_ sessiOn was 746. At inid-day Tuesday
e the number of students registered wasi
s around 755. Probably thirty or forty
v will register in the next few (lays and
about one hundred more next term. The
total will dorbtless reach 900 by the
eid of the year.
'eli enrollment by schools is not
known exactly but there scems to be a
large increase in all departments. In the
Law School this year is the first year
that there has been three fulll classes;
however, there is a decrease in the num
- ber of students in the first and second
y year classes. here are 50 seniors en
rolled and about 40 in each of the other
two classes.
In the F'ngineering School the enroll
ment is in the neighborhood of 60.
Last year the total was 48.
No figures are yet available on the
number of students in the School of
lIducation but Dr. Wardlaw thinks that
it is eryi much larger than last session.
The enrollment in the Graduate
School is cha-aging every (lay. at present
it is a little over 60.
li the School of Commerce the num
her of students registere(d is approx
lmnately 120. This is an increase of
forty over last year.

cocks tackle the Erskine Seceders.
Bul1t that Varsity-lFreshman gaine Wed
iiesday was surely good enough for an
(opener in any sclin(P1. It was billed
more as a practice game than other
wise. hBit unilindfll of tile almost
perfect baseball weather the two teams
put ip a thrilling hattle to a scoreless
deadlock.
It has been expected all along that
the Rats wmuld give the Varsity a tough
hattle, but the fial result was hardly
anticipated by the most optimistic, sole
of the Garnet jerseyed supporters even
ventured the statement that they out
played the (ld birds. 114iwever, both
teams got in some brillhat defensive
Wmrk, and each had their chance at a
march upI) the field. Once apiece the
tw(i teams caie near scoring, early in)
tIe third quarter the var.sity started :I
terrific drive which the freshinen couild
't withstand and advanced til about
It yards of t(e g a1. when a fumble
