. MASS MEETING. 9 O'CLOCK TONIGHT MEMORIAL HALL ill -y"v - MASS MEETING;;;" 9 O'CLOCK TONIGHT MEMORIAL nALL VOLTOIE XXXVIII CHAPEL HILL, N. C FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1929 NUMBER 25 -iky , y usni 7 lth'.- CJeiet Fledge Day y y Small Number -Pledged to Fra ternities Yesterday; New Rushing Plan TriedThis Year. , Beginning at 2 o'clock yester day afternoon the 1929 rushing season ended with over 250 new men donning pledge buttons. A complete list of pledges is not available as many fraternities failed to turn in lists yesterday. Therewas a noticeable lack of enthusiasm on the part of fra ternities with the pledging due in part to the novel system of rushing inaugurated this year. However, if enthusiasm was lacking the relief expressed more than- made up for it. The new system was .designed to relieve the strain on fraternities and rushees. It found both suffering under the same strain as tne final hour approached yesterday. , .-- Rushing rules were quite dif ferent from those of the preced ing year. Whereas actual rush ing began last year Immediately folio wingthe appearance of the freshmen on the Hill, a period of silence was in effect for ten days after the arrival of the men this fall. . This'silence period was also placed in effect until 2 o'clock this afternoon as well as at all meals, and after 9 o'clock at night.' v The period of rushing was. also shortened from 28 to 16 days. The authorities state that the system was very satis factory. ; - ; Initiations will not take place until the beginning of the spring quarter. This is due to the fact that to be eligible' for initiation a freshman must have passed at least five courses and madeC's on two of these courses. V Sororities End Rushing at Duke Durham. Oct. 17. (Special) . I Forty bids have been accepted by women students of Duke uni versity in the six sorority groups on the campus, marking the close of a three-week rushing season that was marked by a number of social events, ; Dancing Girls Remin Of Days In Southern Europe (By Mark P old) Those who have been fortun ate enough to. see dancing girls in Constantinople or Rome no doubt remember pleasant eve nings over cognac at the Pera Palace, or bewitching nights under the velvet Italian sky at the Casina de la Rose. The ten graces who enthralled us last night rekindled the old memory and the equally old desire, to be presented at the back-stage door. ..-;-' Back-stage doors at Chapel Hill are different from those of other towns. Here, dressing rooms are merely improvised affairs (as if no one ; was sup posed to dress or undress) made up of transparent cloth, hung from overhead wires. In, Egypt the costume of female; dancers usually consists of a heavy, curtail-like robe. , It is not very re vealing." When the performance is over there is no rush stage ward. With Constantinople and Rome it is different. The filmy attire characteristic : of these Latin and Turkish climes is a frank invitation to pay a call back-stage, where a good time for all may be had at the cost of a few drinks. Patterson's or Sutton's loomed in our mind as we presented our List of Pledges Published Saturday As the list of fraternity pledges was incomplete the names will not be published today in the Tar Heel but will be published tomorrow. Fra ternities which have not turned lists in are requested to do so at the Tar Heel of fice before 2 o'clock today. List should be typewritten and double-spaced. Addi tions or corrections to lists al ready submitted should also be turned in before 2 o'clock. STUDENTS ASKED TO COOPERATE Farris and Barrett Want Stu dent Body to Help Cheerleaders. (By G. Daniel, Jr.) 'There is a part that the stu dent body can. play in football, by cooperating with the cheer leader," was one of the remarks made by Ray Farris ill 'a recent chapel tak. As president of the University-student body and cap tain 5of the Tar Heel grid team, Farris was discussing the cheer ing question in preparation for the big game with Georgia on Saturday. Commenting on the unusual spirit displayed by Geor- gia followers during the, Yale game, he encouraged a similar gentlemanly attitude on the part of the Carolina students. This talk and another short one by' Jack Barrett, recently elected cheerleader, were prompted by the fact that the support of the football team has been on, the decline during the past season or two. Since Kay Kyser, and consequently ; the Cheerios, left the University an adequate cheering section has been lacking on the campus.' Or ganized enthusiasm, which ac cording to Captain Farris, makes or breaks a team, has been a (Continued on page four) selves at the rear of Memorial hall after the performance Wed nesday night. By displaying two fingers and: going through! the motions of imbibing we im mediately caught the under standing glance of our fair Rus sian friends. A knowing smile beamed from the face of the impish blonde, (yes, she under stood) yes, the girl in red, (more nods and pointing) -yes, and her friend in green. Very important were we for finishing touches regarding dress to be completed, very curious as to what remarks were being ex changed in this strange tongue.. How would we tell them that we would not" keep them out long? What could we do, be-' sides use our hands, for conver sation? Who could imagine anything so romantic as this oc curring in Chapel Hill? Finally the last curl was tucked into place,1 the last bit-of powder applied. Our friends came trooping out of their im provised skene and greeted us with cautious glances. Arm in arm the girl in green and the girl in red. . . . Now for our party.

Other Noted Plays. Readings of plays on the sec ond Sunday evening of each month during the school year, in past terms most popular with students of the University, will be continued again this fall and winter, according to Prof. Fred erick Koch of the, dramatic de partment. "3 ; The first reading in the series was given last Sunday "evening by Prof. Koch himself who has been prevailed upon to start the year off in the past with a Shakespeare reading until : this has become a tradition. The next reading will be in Novem ber when Elmer Hall, new tech nical director of the Carolina Playmakers, will present the noted play, Street Scene." - Professor Koch and others were keenly disappointed at the small crowd which attended the first reading last Sunday eve ning. However, the lack of a packed house was explained by them more on account of stu dents not knowing that the play was to be read, rather than a dearth in appreciation of Shakespeare in Chapel 'Hill. Those who heard Professor Koch give the laudable renditions of scenes from "The Taming of the (Continued on last page) IVIusic Department To Give Concert Sunday Among the many interests of Home-coming Week is a con cert which is to be given under the supervision of ,the ' Univer sity Music Department.

Their boast will bereiterated this week-end when librarians from all over the south, gathered for the second annual confer ence on Southern education, will inspect the book distributor which makes the North Caro lina library service the fastest of any library's in the word. This almost human two-way distributor is a recent invention which has "been installed only at North Carolina.. Four hew libraries, however, are planning to follow the North Carolina library in adopting it. They are the Rochester University; li brary, the University of Cin cinnati and Toronto Public li braries, and the .new - Sterling Memorial library at Yale University.- ; r ; The November Scientific American contains an article by Clare Elliott describing. the dis tributor. At the North Carolina library the distributor can be seen running up and down a shaft back of the delivery desk. Cars eight feet apart on an end less chain carry the books from one level to another. At each Tonihi Memorial Hall Scene of Gigantic Mass Meeting; Captains of '93 And '14 Teams and Descend ant of First University to Talk. A lineal descendant of the first student at the University of North Carolina and two former captains of Carolina football teams which defeated Georgia in years past will speak to the student body tonight at a gigan tic mass meeting at 9 o'clock in Memorial hall. ? Major Alexander James, West Point graduate and descendant of Hinton James, who ventured to enter the University in 1795, will head the program. Fol lowing the talk Clark E. Greg ory, who led an inspired Tar Heel team to a 10-6 victory over Georgia in 1895 when a football player and a Northwest mounted policeman were in the same class, is . scheduled to exhort the assembled students and 'team. Dave Gayloe, who captained the 1914 squad which trampled Georgia to the tune of 41-6 will conclude the program. The entire football team led by Captain Ray Farris will oc cupy front ' seats in the hall. Members of the team including Captain Farris are expected to speak to the students. The University band will be present in full force to provide musical entertainment. , Jack Barrett, cheerleader, will head the ceremonies and introduce the various speakers. The securing of Major James to speak at '"'the meeting was through a lucky stroke. -The' major who is residing in "Char lotte, made known his intentions of attending the Georgia game to a friend who notified the cheerleader. Wounds received while fighting in France neces sitated the retirement of Major James. floor an almost humanly intelli gent comb arrangement takes off the books in cars directed to that floor. So simply is the distributor conscrucieu mat it aoes not get out of order and runs by itself without any attendance. When a librarian on any r level wants to deliver a book to the desk, he simply puts the, book in a pass ing car, which consists of a floor made up of a number of parallel aiuiumuiu xuus. When the car arrives at the level of the delivery desk, a comb made of aluminum fingers set the same way. as the rods in the car floor sweeps down and combs the book off. The book falls into a box containing a cushioned bottom that sinks with the weight of the deposited books. When the box becomes two-thirds full, a bell calls the attendant's attention. The distributor also returns books when the reader has fin ished with them. A librarian at the delivery desk who wants to return a book to the fourth stack floor, for example, puts the book on a car and presses a but ton labeled "four." - When this car passes the fourth floor, it causes the comb there to swing out and sweep the, book off into a bag.
