VINING IS AUTHOR OF NEW ADVENTURE BOOR Wife of University Man Writes Of Scotch Highlanders In America. Mrs.' Morgan Fisher Vining whose pen name- is Elizabeth Janet Gray had no sooner got back from a trip with the Uni versity Extension Division's transcontinental study-tour than she was notified of her publish ers, Doubleday, Doran and Com pany, that her latest novel of adventure was ready for release September 1. The book, entitled Meggy Mac intosh, tells the story of a girl with a gentle manner and adven turous spirit who, rather than lead a drab life in Edinburgh as niece of a titled uncle, fled to North Carolina to find her her oine, the celebarted Flora Mac Donald. Meggy reached Wilmington in March 1775, only to find the col ony in an uproar with talk of war and freedom, and Flora MacDonald more than a hundred miles away. "The story of Flora MacDon ald andthe Highland clansmen in America is one of the most ro mantic and fascinating episodes of that period of American his tory," the press announcement states. Mrs. Vining tells how her heroine, Meggy, rode to the back country where she found the Highlanders, and how, at last, she saw clearly where her heart lay. 2720 IN STUDENT BODY The number of students to re gister at the University this year exceeds all other records of registration.

Murchison, Is Latest Uni versity Publication. The latest book to come from the University of North Caro lina Press, King Cotton Is Sick, by Claudius T. M. Murchi son, professor of economics, deals with the serious depres sion in the textile industry since 1923. The book claims that the stock market crash of 1929, al though intensifying the depres sion, did not cause it." It states that the sale of cotton products has not decreased. While a good many types of textile products have lost favor with the con sumer, there are new products to take the place of those which are not selling. Over-production has increased and the uneasiness of disappoint ed financial structures are in tensified just as much by the employers with humanitarian in terests who continue to run their plants and manufacture goods when the market is al ready glutted with such prod ucts, as by speculation in buying of raw cotton, running mills at night, and the labor of women and children many of whom have the choice of working in the mills or depending upon charity, according to this volume. King Cotton Is Sick further states that a large section of the public thinks the cotton mill owners and operators are all slave-drivers by their own free will and choice, and a consider able number of cotton mill own ers have been convinced that the leaders are incapable of under standing or sympathizing with the real difficulties which face the owners and operators, and that liberalism in American life is a corrupting, brain, softening influence. Such general and ob viously erroneous ideas as these, when held by influential groups, cannot fail to have an unfortun ate effect on an already irritated situation their total result is merely to add confusion to con fusion. The book claims to give an unbiased representation of the situation. It seems to imply that the in dustries with their present mode of operation cannot and are not paying reasonable returns to either capital or labor. It at tempts to explain the couses of the condition, and proposes a method of. correction which has been proven successful in prac tice. Ep worth Addresses Owing to. the pressure of University affairs, President Frank Graham will be unable to address the Epworth League of the Methodist church tonight, as was an nounced last week. CHAPEL HILL, N. C, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1 930 nriTf A AT A'"""-'T fcliiUUL Ui lUi.li.iiiUL lUiij BUSINESS TRAINING WITH THE ARTS Dean Carroll's School Offers a Liberal Business Education for Those Who Aspire for Jobs Above the Ordinary Commercial Level If your boy wants. a course that embraces merely stenog raphy and typewriting with' a bit of bookkeeping thrown in, don't enter him in the school of commerce at the University of North Carolina, Send him in stead to some commerical scho ol where he will be able to master these subjects in short order and be on his way. The school of commerce at the University has no attitude of snobbery toward these subjects. Indeed, Dean Dudley D. Carroll will tell you quite frankly that he wants all his graduates to have a mastery of shorthand and typewriting before he lets them go, but he regards training in these subjects as merely a side line to the main purpose of the school of commerce, "which is to give its students an under-J standing of the forces and prin iples of business without sacri ficing that essential element of breadth and culture that an edu cated man ought to have." The school of commerce, in other words, is not interested in training men to hold down $100-a-month jobs. Nor does it emphasize the view that all of its graduates must be executives. But it does hold that the men who hope to make a real success in this day of severe competi ANNUAL ALUMNI : ASSEMBLY FIXED FOR MEMBER 5 Alumni Association Directors ConveneAnd fan Organ ization's Program.

ATI r f' MES tion must have a broad and com prehensive understanding of the underlying principles of busi ness. , , There's nothing new about the idea organized 11 years ago of having a school of commerce as one of the major divisions of the modern university. Leading in stitutions all over the country in recent years have-set up such divisions. Among the outstand ing schools in the east are those to be found at Harvard, Colum bia, and Pennsylvania. Here at the University of North Carolina the plans for such a school were first laid by the late President Edward Kid der Graham. Former President Harry W. Chase carried out the idea and with the approval of the Legislature and the trustees, the school of commerce was for mally organized in 1919. Courses in economics and in certain busi ness subjects had been offered for many years before that, however. The regular course of study, which covers a period of four years, is designed to give a foun dation of broad and general cul ture, and, at the same time, sup ply a definite and practical train ing to those who intend to en gage in any of the great lines of (Continued on page two) LOCAL PROFESSOR GIVEN PLAC?

SOCIAL PLEDGES REPLACE ANTICS OFGREMFROSH Campus Agog With Inane Ac tions of Sophs; 35 Pledged To Three Orders. With the pdelging of thirty five men of the class of '33 to the three sophomore social or ganizations Friday, the -campus will be afforded quite a bit of amusement 1 for the coming month of more. The Minotaur and their "coo cooing," the Sheiks with their "thirteen, sir, the missing link" will take the place of the green freshmen who have been causing no little laughing by their queer looks and foolish questions for these first few days of school. The freshmen who will be rushed by the fraternities will begin to think that they are really somebody after the frats have finished "glad-handing" them, whereas these thirty-five social order pledges, will be giv en the merry "ha-ha," as were the frosh for the first wreek or so.
