Around 10,000 Volumes Which
Had Been in the Process of
Collection Since 1870 Are En
tirely Destroyed.
The University suffered a distinct
loss with the burning of the old
Blacknell home at Kittrell last Thurs
day evening, for there went up in the
flames a library containing between
5,000 and 10,000 volumes which had
been in process of collection since 1870,
and which Shields Blacknell, the
present owner, had planned to donate
to the Univtrsity. - V
The collection Contained many rare
old volumes, the like of which the Uni
versity is especially desirous of ob
taining. In fact, it was to this very
type of material Dr. J. G. deR. Hamil
ton of the University referred when
he spoke before the Raleigh book
clubs last month. In his talk he ask
ed his audience to aid him in locating
and collecting the material, reminding
them that such books and pamphlets
are being daily burned, destroyed: by
rats, or carried to the ash heap.
Immediately after the fire Mr.
Blacknell expressed his regret that he
had not already had the collection de-
continue to perform -the duties of the Hyered to the University, as he jiad
clerk until such time as he culd in
vestigate Senator Caton's failure ,Jo
return to the University as yet. .
After having taken the oath of of
fice President Brown delivered a talk
'"in which he declared that he had
dreamed of the occasion since, the
first' of his Freshman year. He out
lined the progress ofthe senate dur
ing the administration of Senator Fox
and declared that he would continue
the progressive movements which had
been begun in Senator Fox's term of
office. "I am glad that the days are
gone when the Di and Phi controlled
the affairs of the campus, for now
we can turn our minds toward the
real duty of training men to think
clearly on their feet." he declared in
conclusion. r - .
Tuesday night, January 22, has
been set as the date for the initiation
of new" members'. All men who were
taken into the senate last quarter but
whose initiation was postponed should
be present at the aforementioned time.
Also, all men should be present wKb
desire to join the senate but "who have
not yet signified their - intention of
doing so.1

which must b6 practiced before the

Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons.
Absences are not excusable unless suf

absences will mean a drop from the
club. A very important trip has been

and the continued maintenance of the
high standards which have given the

tance "The Red Dance"
Opens at Theatre
One of the salient scenes of "The
Red Dance" is that in which Rasputin,
the pretended monk- who demoralized
the Russian imperial court, is shown
being brought to his death. It is an
instance of how some of the most ef
fective scenes in a silent drama can
come as a happy afterthought.
As originally carried out by Raoul
Walsh, Rasputin had played a pivotal
part in the picture. He was shown
exerting his evilt hypnotic spell over
the . Czarina an influence which
brought the Romanoff family to the
brink of ruin. ,
He was depicted whispering slyly
in the ear of the .Czar and gaining
a hold on that well-meaning hvi
weak-willed monarch. He was ex
hibited as being the spur which
brought Charles Farrell, playing a
grand duke, to the palace to ferret out
the evil figure who was drawing dis
aster down upon his beloved country.
It -was that visit, incidentally, which
caused the young grand duke to be be
trothed vto a princess and so .torn
from the side of his lowlier s sweet
heart, played by Dolores Del Rio.
Having achieved all this, Rasputin
was allowed to fade out of the picture.
"What, angelic, straight-laced, dig
nified little men we college boys have
degenerated into since ye good old
days when Cotten Mather used to
hold up his hands in holy horror at
the doings of the Harvard boys. The
coNeeians ' of three hundred years
ago would" have snickered in scorn at
such asininely trivial things as Tat
parades a la 1928, giving bad checks,
or playing cards,- in church. Those
Puritan boys really had it on "us "f or
fair." -
f The- popular belief of the older
- :
folk of the modern day , that the
20th Century Collegiate is more ex-
treme along certain r lines than any
pf his predecessors were is unfound
ed. v Disputing with the faculty,
brawls hazing, religious negligence,
excess smoking, extreme dress, way
wardness, disorderly commence
ments, the reading of pornographia,
and free thinking played: a much
larger part in the life of the collegian
of 300 years ago than they do in the
lives of the modern college boy.
These facts have been revealed to
us. by Dr. Henry W. Lawrence, pro
fessor of history at Connecticut Col
lege, in his book, "The Not- Quite
Puritans." -The material for this
bo6k was gathered from such authen
tic sources as contemporary church
records, diaries,, and ' histories.
Mr. Lawrence says: "We conTmbri-
ly think of the American college man
of the 17th and 18th 'centuries as so
incurably addicted to studious; piety
that he found little time or none for
dissipation. It is hard to reconcile
with this view the. numerous inci
dents cited in Mr. Lawrence's book.
"Students of Harvard at an earlier
date took a strong dislike to the pres
ident of the time, who was Harvard's
third, and forced him' to resign, as
Cotton Mather writes in his diary,
by violating the fifth commandment,
and set themselves to traverstie
"whatever he did or said.' Note the
TnsrrTrftd similaritv between 18 and"
20th century youths:
'March 13, 1758, .came to college
began logick. x
7 " 'March 18, fit with the. sopho
mores about customs.
" June 13, 1760, acted ; Tancred
and Sigismunda for which we were
like to be prosecuted.
' " 'October ' 10, Kneeland's and
Trayre's windows broke last night.
" 'December 22, Gardner and Bar
nard admonished for stealing wood.
" 'February 26, 1761, lost two pis
tareens at cards last evening.
'"May 20, chapel robbed of the
cushmgs and Bible cloths.' " . :
"Petting," Dr. Lawrence says, "was
even more of an accomplished art 300
years ago than it is now. Of course,
there were no co-eds, and girls'
schools were seldom located in the
vicinity of a college, so 'petting was
not done on so -large a scale. Such
extre"me dress prevailed among the
17th century , college men that laws
had to be made to regulate the clothes
worn."
Sunday night, at which 7 time some :
sort of definite plan for the daily j
Tar Heel will be passed by the body
and submitted to a student vote at
an early date.,
The, new committee appointed by
President HuSgins includes ; Glenn
Holder, chairman, Walter Spearman,
John Marshall, Jerry Slade, Joe
Mitchell, George Ehrhart, Marion
Alexander and John Mebane. 7 J. M.
Lear, treasurer of the Publications
Union Board, O. J. .Coffin,' head of
the Journalism Department, June
Adams editor .of the Yackety Yack,
and Bill Perry, editor of the Buc
caneer, have been asked to meet with
the committee. .
"Less Dirty Jokes"
Another committee on editorial re
sponsibility submitted its report
through June Adams, the chairman.
This report recommended placing of
editorial responsibility directly, under
the authority of the -student body,
with disciplinary power vested in di
rest student referendum. Discussion
of his recommendation covered every
major difficulty involving editorial
discipline that has arisen in the past
few years, from the "Slaves" rucus
of two years ago to the Yellow Jour
nal controversy of last spring. 'After
protracted argument a motion was
made by Dean Hibbard that editorial
responsibility should be left exactly
as it is now, in the hands of the stu
dent council. This motion was car
ried. - ; 7
A motion was made by Taylor
Bledsoe that the Buccaneer editor be
advised to run "less dirty jokes and
more clean jokes." This motion was
carried after a heated analysis- of
