FLOWER SHOW TODAY TIN CAN NOON ON TEN CENTS ! FLOWER SHOW TODAY i r TIN CAN NOON ON TEN CENTS A V ill ! i r I VOLUME XXXVIII CHAPEL HILL, N. C," THURSDAY, BIAY 1, 1930 NUMBER 15S PARIiEK FINISHES LECTURE SERIES yew York Lawyer Concentrates On Public Utilities in Last ' Address . Delivering the last of a series of three lectures here last night before the law school on the general subject of "Business and the State," Junius Parker, noted lawyer, discussed the due. pro cess clause of the fourteenth and seventeenth amendments, and their eniorcement oy tne su preme court in limiting the r states in the exercise of their police power, and in limiting the federal government and the states in the fixing of rates for railroads and other public util ities. "The right of a state to en gage in the active operation of business is broader than its right to regulate the charges on rates made by private persons engaging in the conduct of busi ness," Mr. Parker said. . Discussing the governmental operation of business enterpris es from two different points of view, Mr- Parker pointed out instances which seem to justify governmental operation. "There1 was dissatisfaction with the operation of the rail roads during the period that they were operated by the gov ernment as an incident of the war ; but . one must remember that we were intent on winning the war quickly and decisively at any cost,", the speaker said. "There have been, though, in Deace times, instance after iri- stance of extravagance, favorit ism, 'playing politics,' and gen eral inefficiency in public work's constructed and maintained by municipalities, but the tendency toward state operation, certainly of public utilities, is not retard ed but accelerated when the owners of public service com panies go too far. And the more public service companies suc ceed in these contentions the more they accelerate the ten dency toward government own ership and operation."

W. Lee, of the United States Bureau of Mines, Dr. J. H. Swartz, of the geology department, nas prac tically perfected a method of de termining the character, depth, dip, arid direction of slope of geological , structures which in fluence the accumulation of oil. After testingore deposits in Canada and strata in Kentucky, the experimenters found it pos sible" to locate ores, oil reser voirs, and, under favorable con ditions, oil, itself. Oil has ac tually been discovered by the method in one place in Ken tucky. . ' ;: In brief , the process is as fol lows: with the use of radio bat teries an electric field is creat ed in the ground, which, due to the presence of layers of rock, becomes distorted. By measur ing the distortion, the resistivity of the strata'' may be calculated and from that the character of geological material present. It is too early as yet, in the opinion of Dr. Swartz, to pre dict the commercial possibilities of the system since much experi mental verification is yet to be done.; . - (By Bob House) It is a matter of great delight to me that the course of my life has led me back to the stage, es pecially since my return will be under the auspices, of the Im perial Stock Company. It is a privilege to be associated with an organization that is interna tionally known for the high pro fessional quality of its offerings, and for the note of moral up lift that runs through its reper tory. The last reason, that of the moral uplift and self -sacrificing work for the public wel fare, being my chief interest in the stock company. I sincerely want to congratulate the, manag ers of the Imperial Stock Com pany on having secured such a noted actor for the part of Tom my Swit in the coming play.

The Charlotte Observer of April 24, in regard to their pres entation, says: "Dream Life of a negro, and the old age longing for the unknown; the urge for finer things in life on the part of a mill girl, and the martia ambitions of a mountain spinster these themes, added to the masterful technique of the Caro lina Playmakers, created a pro gram at the Central high school ' auditorium last night that ex ceeds anything previously done by this company in their Char lotte appearances." "Like a breath of fresh air from the Carolina hills, the three one-act plays of the Playmakers, North Carolina's contribution fn A TnArira'a advance in the drama, brought to the local at dience a delightful presentation of home state people as they are, living and acting in charac ters that had a world vision." The three plays presented were: Paul Green's "The No 'Count Boy," Loretta Carroll "Rlack Water," and uauv "Magnolia's Man" by Gertrude Wilson Coffin. The annual meeting of the North , Carolina section of the American Chemical Society and the North Carolina Academy of Science will be held at Duke Uni versity Jn Durham, May 9 and 10. Dr. Cameron of the Uni versity of North Carolina will preside over the meeting and L. B. Rhoades, secretary depart ment of agriculture, Raleigh, will officiate as secretary. No definite program has yet been made out, but the meeting is assured of a large number of papers from the various colleges and universities. The year was one of activity and the dominant note of the pending meeting is expected to be given by the industrial chem ists of the state who are ex pected to present a series of pa pers which will advise the acad emy of technical problems con fronting the authorities and thus enrich the interest and aid of the academic workers in the state institutions.

There is great op portunity for the gathering and classification of folk lore in North Carolina Two students, working under Mr. Boggs, are preparing theses on folk lore for their doctor's degree, which they hope to get at commence ment next June. Few people ever realize the r)lace the Y fills on the campus. The Y building during chapel neriod is the most popular "hang-out" place on the campus because most of the , boys go there to loaf away the half hour et aside for freshman chapel. There are always several boys in front of the building; some talking in a group, others just standing there. There is always a steady stream of boys going in moving around. In the left reading room there are several boys sitting around the room with their faces hidden behind magazines. In the right read ing room there is a large number of boys either sitting around do ing nothing or hastily glancing over the day's assignment that they did not have time to pre pare the night before. Probably one or two boys will be playing checkers on the' little checker tables provided by the members and coming out of the building jostling each other in the crowd. J of the Y. M. C. A.

Before coming here the Royal Canadians are to play for the University of Virginia at the final dances. The orchestra will remain on the Hill for three days and will leave immediately for a summer engagement in one of the larger resorts in . Paris. ' I In order not to conflict with the summer school, the dances are to be given in the Tin Can instead of Swain hall. The Tin Can is to be divided into several compartments, one for the danc ing floor, one for a smoking room, another for a dressing room, and a fourth for a tea room Another advantage in having the dances in the Can is the large parking space nearby. Heretofore there has been much confusion, caused before and af ter the dances by couples going (Continued on last page) X
