Bertrand Russell
Criticizes Men
New York, Nov. 10. Writing
in the Parents' Magazine, Ber
trand Russell British philoso
pher, declared that men are los
ing their paternal instinct.
In old times, Russell argued,
men wanted children to protect
them in their old age, to carry
on their name and to possess
them for their own sakes.
Now, he said, old people are
protected by police, families
move about from town to town
ana lose tne urge to carry on
their own line, and men are re
garding marriage less seriously,
so that the sense of possession
is lacking. ' 1 v
Students To Meet
At Mount Holyoke
Students and leaders of stu
dent relief and self-helf repre
sentating twenty-five or more
countries in both Europe and
Asia will meet for the first time
on American soil at Mount
Holyoke College September 1,
1931 for, an eight day confer
ence, according to the plans an
nounced by Marjorie Marston,
chairman of the American Com
mittee of International Student
Service.
The plans for the reception of
foreign representatives are al
ready under way. A group will
arrive in August to spend the
month at various summer stu
dent camps and industrial study
groups. The conference will in
clude a presentation of American
student life in all of . its various
phases, sports, music, drama,
etc. - t
The American Committee of
International Student Service
which will arrange for the recep
tion of delegates will be entirely
separate from the National
j Council of Christian Associa
tions this year. The Harmon
Foundation has donated office
space to the committee, which
will be the location of the new
head-quarters.
Projects in international stu
dent service cover student needs
in China as well as those in
parts of Europe this year, and
will require a budget of more
than 59,000.00.

NORTH CAROLINA SHOWS LITTLE '
POSSIBILITIES OF OIL AND GAS
Prouty Expresses Opinion As To Petroleum Deposits in the State,
Giving Detailed Analysis.
;,. o :
By Dr, W. F. Prouty
(Professor of Stratigraphic Geo
logy, University of North Caro
lina) There has been so much spe
culation . about the possibilities
and probabilities of petroleum in
North Carolina that I think it
would be worth while to spend
point :
It is now a well recognized
fact that commercial quantities
of oil and gas originate only
from the buried remains of or
ganisms, either plants or ani
mals, but largely plants. Such
organisms are preserved in large
numbers and volume only in
basins of sedimentation such as
lakes, sounds, bays, and seas. It
is also a well recognized fact
that plants are vastly more im
portant in the origin of petro
leum and natural gas than are
animals. Plants which are pre
served in fresh water, deposits
change for the most part into
the coal series (peat, lignite, bi
tuminous coal, and so on). On
the other hand plant and animal
remains that are buried in sedi
ments permeated by salt water,
gradually decompose giving pe
troleum products.
Of the three different kinds of
sediments : sandstone, shale
(clay-stone) , and limestone, only
shale contains plant remains in
any great amount. We, there
fore, must come to the conclu-
tion that of the various kinds of
rocks in the earth only the lime- (
stones and the carbonaceous
shales, which have been formed
in association with salt or brack
ish water are capable of yield
ing commercial quantities of pe
troleum products.
All rocks in the earth are sub
jected to a certain amount of
heat and pressure. This heat
and pressure causes the natural
Tablets From Old Memorial Hall To Adorn
Lobby of New Building
Atwood and Nash, University
architects, have announced that
the new Memorial hall will be
completed some time in January.
The building is of red brick
trimmed with limestone; at the
front of the new auditorium is a
row of columns which support
a limestone balcony.
The walls of the lobby will be
ornamented with pilasters and;
with tablets taken from old
memorial ; the floor will probably
be paved with marble blocks.
The stair wells and the mezza
nine lobby will contain the re
mainder of the tablets saved
from the walls of the old audi
torium; in addition, the side
walls near the stage will be
ornamented with the roll of the
men from the University who
died in the Civil War.
From the cornices of the ceil
ing will rise a large cove around
which will be placed lights
which will serve to illuminate
the auditorium; however, one
chandelier containing eighty
lamps, will be suspended from
the center of the ceiling to aug
ment the light from the indirect
system of the cove lights. The
ceiling will be made of acoustical
plaster ; , and will , be fitted with
four ornamental ventilating
grills. The side walls' will con
verge to a forty-foot wide proi-cenium.

distillation of the petroleum pro
ducts. The greater the heat and
pressure and the longer the time
of its application the greater the
distillation and the higher the
percentage of the original petro
leum (kerogen) that is changed
to lighter petroleum products
and gas. In the older and meta
morphic rocks there has been
such high pressures and such
great heat that all original pet
roleum has been cracked into
gas and has escaped.
fin petroliferous rocks where
change (metamorphism) has
been less intense, the naturally
distilled oil and gas has been
largely driven from the fine tex
tured clay, shale or limestone
and has accumulated in the pores
of the adjacent rocks, from here
it may migrate by gravity or
movement of underground wa
ters to natural domes or arches
in the porous beds. These are
usually in the sands or sand
stones but may be in porous rock
of any kind.
If we study the distribution
of the rocks in North Carolina
we shall see that the Piedmont
and Mountain sections are al
most completely made up either
of igneous rock, which has no
petroieum, or highly metamor
phosed rocks which cannot now
have petroleum products, if they
ever, had them, on account of the
great heating and compression
which they have undergone.
' The portion of the state not
included, in the above classifica-
tion is the Coastal Plain
Arch
Sedi-
and that of the Triassic
ments in the Deep River, Dan
River, and Wadesboro Areas.
The Coastal Plain deposits form
a veneer chiefly of sands, clays,
and marls over the buried rocks
of the Piedmont type. The
Coastal Plain deposits are about
2000 feet thick at the coast and
( Continued on page two)
The balcony will contain 600
seats every one of which will
have a full view of the stage.
The floor of the building will be
made of some sound deadening
material and will curved in
every direction so as to form a
bowl ; the purpose of this de
sign is to enable all of the 1200
j seats to be placed so that each
chair will command a view of
the stage.
A booth for the projection of
moving pictures, which has been
wired for sound, will be at the
rear of the auditorium. There
will be a very large stage, forty
feet wide and thirty feet high ;
the stage will be rectangular but
will have rounded corners. An
ornamental cornice will be placed
around the edge of the proscen
ium and a plaster seal of the
University will be put at the
top. The windows of the build
ing will be equipped with Phoe
nicians blinds. The entire build
ing will soon be painted and the
same color as South building. To
leave the new hall as it stands
would be to put it out of. har
mony with the group of build
ings surrounding it. After new
memorial is painted, it will carry
out; the, motif of age which is
shown by Gerrard hall, South
boulding, - Old and New- East ;
and Old and New West.

Freshmen Told Not
To Worry Over Work
Dean F. F. Bradshaw spoke to
the freshmen at chapel yester
day morning on the principle
problem, as he saw it, facing
those of the freshmen class that
have had conferences by their
own request with him recently.
The question of whether or not
to make changes in their sche
dules which had proven dis
couraging according to Dean
Bradshaw the perfectly normal
question that always faces
every freshmen class in the mid
dle of the first quarter. He ad
vised i each man to discontinue
worrying; --. - . --. 5 "
The Dean said that in his
pinion the best time to recognize
their mistakes was not in the
middle , of the quarter but at its
end. At the present they ought
to strive as best they might to
make up any deficiency, never
lay down on the job but continue
fighting, and a satisfactory re
sult must come of a necessity.
DEPRESSION HITS
WORK STUDENTS
The once "cloistered" college is
today getting experience of
trade depression and and unem
ployment at first hand. Many
students accustomed to earning
part of their expenses are up a-
gainst a bleak outlook for the
year owing to the sharp de
cline of jobs in the summer, and
the drop in prospective part
time work now available.
Students have made their way
into some businesses in droves.
The department stores in New
York City employ hundreds of
college girls on Saturdays and
at rush seasons as extra clerks.
Theatres call for batches of col
lege men as "supers." Post of
fices engage them as extra clerks
at busy seasons. Libraries em
ploy them regularly, and large
companies use them as filling
station attendants, extra factory
hands, train conductors, and
statisticians.
Although the earnings of stu
dents last year amounted to over
26,000,000, the break-down of
many industries in which stu
dents previously earned consid
erably, has placed a great hard
ship on many.
Mills To Be In Greensboro
Dr. R. C. Mills, of the com
merce school, will speak to the

lege for Women Friday at the
chapel hour. He is to talk on

change professor from Austra
lia, has made several such ad
dresses here.
