When it broke up. I 'set out or Mexico with a fellow named Her man Shilo'ff. We visited the dives of, Tia Juana and saw the dancing girls who go down there to live when they ail to get a job in Hollywood. ; , We started into Mexico, but it was elec tion time, and people would run out, ook mean, and ask us which candidate we were for. We soon came back, out of Mexico. i We came through Arizona, Cali fornia, Nevada, ; and Utah. . At a town named Thistle we were arrested for vagrancy, but were soon released. Shiloff left me, and I came on east through Pueblo to Denver, where 1 worked about' ten days .in a garage. I wired home for fifteen dollars, got it, and came on through Kansas City ajid St. Louis to Chicago, where I got! standing room at the Dempsey-Tunney fight; and I'm here to tell you that Tunney got a double count when he was down. It looked like a fa,ke to me. I came south through Vincennes and stopped with my uncle for a short time in Paris, Kentucky, I got a three hundred miles ride f rom Berea -to Asheviile, N. C, where I spent my first night back in North Carolina in a hotel. On my entire trip this was the only night I had spent in a hotel, and excepting .the eighteen nights I had spent on the National a Guard army cots, it was the seventh night I had slept on a bed. I carried an army pack, two shelter halves, arid two army blankets, so I usually spent the night wHerever'I happened to .be. During , the trip I bummed, rides on every kind of vehicle except air aero plane. V . ' . ' ':. . ' ' - . Strange Odessy of Adventure and Hard Knocks Related by Debiater When E. H. Whitely, U. N. C. de bater, gets up to talk an opponent down he , has at his command not only his '"book larnin" but also a vast knowledge of human nature which he procured during four months of hard knocks and raw worldly experiences some two years ago. ? The story of these four months is , a strange tale as told by Whitley . himself late ; one rainy afternoon in the Bull's Head Bookshop before a. wide-eyed audience of four. . Herewith follows Whitley's own narrative of his Odessy, abridged to4 some extent by' the reporter: - In the spring of 1927 I and Carl D. Terry, a freshman friend of mine, planned to take a long trip during the summer. He wanted to go west and I wanted to go to France. We tossed up a coin. I lost.' We went' west. This was the morning of, June 11. We had the Ford decked with , pen nants, and "Coast-to-Coast-on-Henry" painted .on the sides. We spent the first night in a negro Presbyterian, church near Statesville. Carefuily saving our money we spent the next night in a deserted farmliouse. ; We crossed the Mississippi Valley during its third great flood.. At For est City we saw a crowd of refugee negroes living in a string of side tracked box cars. Twenty-two negro babies had been born in this box car town, and many of them had been given such names as "Highwaterv and ''"Refugee." We detpured two hundred miles to Little Rock. : .fust before reaching ; Ellsworth, Kansas, wa were. caught in a , hurri cane which ditched the car, took the top off, and blew away; a pair of our trousers with twenty .dollars in the pocket. ;: . - .' : , - ' It was here, absolutely penniless, that we sold the Ford for fifteen dol- lars. ' " : ' ' ' Here we fell in with a fellow named Rose and proceeded' through Cheyenne to Rawlins, 'where we were arrested as hoboes. The officer searched us, questioned us, - and finally turned us loose. We walked and bummed to Green River, hiked thirty miles across a desert, drank all our water the first" half -hour, and were tantalized during the rest of the day by mirages ' of clear springs which receded as we approached. At Kennerer, Rose and Terry quarreled, and Terry' left us oV.rtf Anrr walkine straight out alone' a desert road with the . first , settlement or crossroads sixty miles ' away. He had had. nothing to eat for twenty-four hours, and 'he had no money. Thus did my initial compan ion leave me. , ' . Rose and I slept that night in a . straw-floored fruit car, and next x norning we got a job with a carnival. I earned, a dollar by washing a car, We . went into an athletic area where we were supposed to pull fake iignts on the carnival's fighters, but .Rose overcame the wrestler, and I licked the boxer, for which we each got the offered prize of five dollars. I play ed my six on a gaming device. and won six more. The seventeen dollars lasted us to Portland, Oregon, where Rose left me. , ' ' 1 . Here I fell in with Howard Amund son, a U. of .Montana freshman, who took : me to his father's ranch near Miles City, where I stayed for a. week and got a real taste of western cow boy life. Young Amunds'on and ! then hoboed to Vancouver, B. C., came back to Seattlef and., there got papers to sail on an Alaska bound steamer We couldn't -get a job .on the boat however, and as we sat on the dock we were arrested by two plain clothes men on" the charge of murder. At the police station the officer read an exapt description of myself, the person described as being wanted for the murder of a railroad police.' They questioned and "searched us closely. They asked us if we had ever hoboed on the trains, and -we told that" we had. For awhile it looked bad. Bu on me they found letters from home ana saw tnat an my clothes were marked with my initials. The ques tioned me much ab.out; the University and finally turned, us loose. '.. . ' I and a fellow named Dean wen irom Seattle to laicoma, wnere we met a French-Indian named Gus who' induced us to hop the Port land Limited with him. We rode be tween two cars, and as we pulled into the' Vancouver, Washington, station four policemen surrounded us and de manded bur surrender. We. had heard that the penalty for hoboeing trains was ninety days on the road. so we leaped off and made a desperate dash through the crowd of passengers Two of us escaped in "the dark and town dodging throgh the traffic. Gus had been caught. Dean and I,' with the police at our heels ducked into a sidestreet and crawled under an old lumber shed, where we lay for a half -hour in stagnant water filled with tin cans and broken , bottles. I was a terrible experience. Finally we sneaked out. and started running a cross a long 'railroad bridge which spanned a big swamp on the way to Portland: , We' got -tired, sat down and heard a handcar coming, so , we" jumped off, waded through , the swamp, truck a highway, and took a trolley car to Portland. Here I pawned my high schoo! senior ring for one dollar. With this dollar we got to San Francisco, hav ing ten cents 'left when we arrived. We ate out of orchaVds along the route. ' Through an employment agency got a job sweeping out chim neys m tjnmatown. ; jjuring one morning we swept out eighteen chim neys at one dollar ana a nail per chimney. In one room- of a Chinese apartment, house we walked in on a Chinese woniari, who started jabber ing at us in a language that sounded like dishes' breaking. "The landlord quieted her, however, and we. swep the chimney. We spent the night in the dens of the .Chinatown under world, where both of us took just one puff on an opium pipe. It tasted ex cellent. - . . t. ;' . We fooled around on the water front for' several days until Dean got a job on a coastwise steamer.. When becue and entertainment at the Chap el Hill Country Club at 6 o'clock. At 8 o'clock Geo. O. Leonard, Director of Media and Research for the Campbell Ewald Advertising .

I had been gone . one hundred and fifteen 'days. I hadn't spent . a single night in forced con finement. And had made the trip on working about one . day out-of seven. When I got home I had gained eigh teen pounds, felt fine, had a. better view Of human nature, 'and had ac cumulated enough common sense not to try it again. -. CHANEY STUDIES ROLE IN DETAIL Spends Days in Hospital Learn ing What to Do to Act Continifed-from page one) modern. In point . of beauty "at : sur passes every building on the" campus. In point df convenience it is the re sult of expert 'planning and construc tion. Another -item "which has been carefully considered in the. erection of the' structure . is . comfort. A ven tilating system keeps the stack rooms at the correct temperature and humid ity" for correct book storage at all times. In short, the entire; arrange- , ment is the result of long and zealous study on the. part- of the Librarian and his . assistants together with hearty co-operation , on the part, of architects and consulting architects. Each of the ; three floors is to' be used for a particular purpose in;oi der that confusion and noise may be reduced to a minimum. , The first floor will be used chief ly for reserved readings assigned by the different de-t partments, especially those assigned to Freshman and Sophomore classes. The second floor will be givenbver largely to advanced study and refer ence. ' Provision' will be ' made" for seating at least 400 students on' this floor, doing reference work. This ar rangement tends to separate students who are interested in one thing from those who are interested in something of an entirely different nature. ' Many look forward to the comple tion of the building with unusual Paralyzed. Lbn Chaney put in two days -in a Los Angeles hospital to study for his strangest screen role, that 'of "Dead Legs' Flint," in Metro-Goldwyn Mayer's "West of Zanzibar," which - comes Monday to the Carolina Theatre. In order properly to play the paralyzed t "white voodoo" he located a paralysis patient and stud ied him in detail. . One of the grim tragedies of the production is that, Chaney becomes permanently paralyzed from the waist' down in a fight he has with a handsome stranger who stole the love of his wife. His wife dies and leaves him an infant girl whom he supposes the child of his rival, and consequently hates.' He tracks his enemy to the African jungles, kills him and is about to cause the horrible death of the girl when he learns her true identity. 4; In order to save her he sacrifices' his own life.

Achievement in this field cannot fail to turn the eyes of the entire nation on the University of North Carolina just as the University of , California, through the 'Bancroft collection, and the University of Michigan, through the Clements collection, have gained national fame.
