C, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1930 TATiSTICS r i!iiikjlli j& - OVTiIANY First Year Class Is the Largest in History Besides Being Largely Self -Supporting; Many Out-of -State Students Enrolled; Charlotte Leads North Carolina Cities. In numbers the largest on record, self-supporting to a great extent, with more Baptists than Methodists and with more merchants' sons than farmers' sons for the first time, and with 25 per cent of the new men coming from other states, the present freshman class at the University possesses many unique characteristics, accord ing to a survey of the new stu dents made by the Alumni Re view, magazine devoted to the interests of former students. The conclusions were based in a careful study of matriculation cards. To begin with, the class set a new record in enrollment. The number of around 900, where as the previous record, set in 1927, was 845. A Many Self -Help Students The exigencies of the present financial situation is reflected by the fact that more than 30 per cent of the class have ap plied, for loans from th student loan fund. Up to a few days be fore registration 840 applica tions for work had been received by the self-help bureau of the Y. M. C. A. Dean of Students F. F. Brad- shaw, who is in charge of the loan fundSj says that many cases of desperate financial plight have been discovered among the new men. One of the most piti able was that of a freshman who came into his office and con MEMORIAL BUILT TOWESTINGHOUSE Founder of Great Electrical In dustries Honored by His Employers. There has been erectefd in Schenley Park, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, by those who were associated with him and by the 60 thousand employes of the world-wide industries he found ed, a memorial -to George West- inghouse as an evidence of their esteem and affection. George Westinghouse was one of those great figures who at rare intervals cross the pages of history. It is impossible to measure him in terms that apply to ordinary men. He patented over 400 inven tions including one of the most important of all inventions the air-brake but he was not pri marily an inventor. He founded scores of success ful companies, but he was in no sense a promoter. He made millions for himself and others, but he cared nothing for money for its own sake. He directed many vast en gineering undertakings, but he cannot be considered merely an engineer. ' He was a great creative force a constructive. genius and he applied his gifts of vision, cour age, and ability always for the benefit of humanity. The purposes of this memorial are: To pay tribute to the inventive genius of , him who contributed so greatly to the material devel opment of his country, and the world at large, in adding to the happiness, comfort and security of its people. GLAS; mteresung facts fessed that he had eaten only one meal in three days. He had come to the University with only enough money to pay his way down here, confidently ex pecting that he would imme diately secure enough work to enable him to pay all his ex penses. He did not land a job as quickly as he had expected to, and hunger was becoming a terrible reality when" he met a Jewish boy from Brooklyn who volunteered to lend him two dol lars. Fortified by a good meal, he summoned enough courage to go to Dean BradshawV office, and he has been taken care of through the student loan fund and the self-help bureau. How They Are Helped Another freshman ad saved $200 during the summer, but lent it to his father with the understanding that it was to be repaid during the boy's first week at the University. Adverse circumstances however, prevent ed the father from repaying the money, and the boy was faced With the prospect of losing the money he had expended for ma triculation and room rent. His situation was relieved througn the loan fund, and the Chapel Hill Kiwanis Club has taken steps to secure more money for him from the -Kiwanis Club m his home town. . v ; Another unusual fact about the incoming class is that 200 of (Continued on page four) CHAPEL DEVOTED TO GMDIDATES Aspirants for. Chief Cheerlead er's Job Give Short Talks. At sophomore chapel exercises held in Gerrard hall yesterday morning, the three candidates for premier cheer leader, name ly Howard Henry, Billy Arthur, and George Brown gave short and snappy talks on cheering and sportsmanship together with several famous Carolina cheers. Each man talked about the different principles of the cheering phase of athletics,! and told what he would do if elected chief cheer-leader. Billy Arthur explained to everybody present that if he was elected or, if he was not, he was going to make a cheering section out of the stu dent body of which every college in the south would be envious. He also claims that there have been too many pessimists writ ing in the papers about Caro lina's apparent lack, of -enthusiasm, and reminded all those present that we had quite a bit more; cheering at the the game with Wake Forest than the game of last year. Monday is election day for the cheer-leaders. After the three politicians had eulogized themselves up to a pin nacle of publicity, John Lang, president of the State Student Federation gave a short talk. His subject was magnanamous sportsmanship, and how and when to demonstrate it. He told briefly of the efforts of the State Student Federation to bring about a feelin gof closer friend ship between the colleges of North Carolina and to .further the art of being a gentleman of whom the University of North Carolina might well be proud. iM NEGRO BOY SHOT WITH 'UNLOADED' PISTOL THURSDAY An "unloaded" gun cost the life of Fletcher Strowd, 14, popular colored youth of Chapel Hill.

The directory this year will have practically the same sort of cover as last year. ' One change will be made, however, in the arrangement of the secretarial and clerical staffs. In the edition published in 1929 the staff of the library was classed under the se cretarial and clerical staffs. This year the library staff will be put under a separate head of its own. A speed typist was employed by the "Y" to make four copies of the directory in order that it might be sent to press. These copies have been turned in to the "Y," and one of them will be available for public use within the next day or so. One of the three remaining copies will be kept in the Y as a master direc tory, a second will go to the post office to help simplify mailing troubles there, and the third one will be sent to the printers as soon as it has been corrected.
