METEC1C CLOUD
PATF TOMORROW
Orbits of C loud and Earth Will
Coinc?cta for Five Years.
The e-'j'th will pass through a
great r wer of small meteoric
bodies 1 193, according t6 Dr.
(j. p. Jvier, of the University
of Pf -asylvania and president
of te American Meteorological
Society. Dr. Olivier, formerly
of the University of Virginia,
has done much research and ob
servational work in the Flower
Observatory at the University
of Pennsylvania.-
The cause of these phenomena
are explained as the result 'when
the path of the earth is cut by
the orbit of a meteor. In-many
cases the meteor is separated
into millions of small bodies
which spread out along the path
for thousands of miles. Often
they are so widely spread that
the earth revolves in its orbit
several years before the meteoric
cloud has moved wholly out of
the path of the earth. The point
where the two orbits cut each
other is reached by the earth in
the same month every year.
In this month the earth will
pass through the edge of the
cloud; next year it will be near
er the center and there will be
more meteors seen ; in 1933 the
earth will reach the center of the
cloud where the particles are
larger and are many times more
in number, and an unusually
great number will be seen.
Saturday-night -next, if -one
will look in the direction of the
constellation, Leo or the Lion,
he will see these particles -as
they enter - the atmosphere
burn out, Dr. Olivier points out.
This group of stars is the radi
ant point of the meteors in ques
tion, and will seem to come from
one point and shoot out in many
directions, although in reality
they are all traveling in parallel
lines.
ALDERMEN MOVE
TO RELIEVE POOR
SITUATION HERE
Order the Placing of Three Stop
Signs on Franklin and Col
. umbia Streets.
The board of aldermen of the
town of Chapel Hill met last
night at their regular monthly
meeting to pass legislation for
the relief of unemployment in
Chapel Hill. The mayor was
authorized to appoint a com
mittee which is to raise funds
and supervise the expenditure of
these funds for some , type of
community improvement. One
of the suggestions put forth was
that of having one or two hun
dred trees, which would cost be
tween one and two dollars each,
Planted along the streets of the
town. The cost of these trees
would not be paid by the muni
cipal government but would be
a sort of donation from the
citizens who would each contri
bute a tree or so.
In order to help people find
work Bruce Strowd of the
Strowd Motor Company has
agreed to act as an employment
agent. AH those desiring work
should register at Strowd's of
foe; if people needing work done
Would cooperate with 'the relief
committee by calling Strowd to
find out if there is any suitable
help it would do much , to insure
the success of the project.

COLLEGIANS TAKE
PART IN RIOTING
Foreign Students lead Political Up
risings, While Americans Stage
Football "Riots."
With unemployment and the
economic depression as a world
wide source of revolution and
instability, the reports of the
part, taken by students in var
ious countries in stimulating and
leading the spirit of unrest by
rioting and protest have receiv
ed wide discussion in the col
lege press.
Within the last few days,
Egyptian students set fire to
one of the Cairo school buildings
and later a large number of stu
dent strikers attacked those i
who refused to join them, with
the result that several were in
jured when the police joined the
fray. The cause of the trouble
seems to be agitation against
the existing government, the
new constitution and electoral
laws. -
Student rioting in Spain has
continued for some time. Law
students in Barcelona showed an
anti-monarchistic spirit and
those in Seville combined rebel
lion against the government with
discontent against the university
administration.
A third example is found in
South America where Peruvian
Students overthrew Leguia and
the Argentinians aided in the
displacement of Irigoyen.
In contrast to this, there is
the recent riot at Princeton re
sulting in the destruction of pri
vate property, rocking of inter
state buses and , the suspension
of f orty-two men. - Along: the
same lines is the traditional Yale
freshman , riot, : the Gowns
against Towns. Sedate Harvard
representatives who have known
the inside of a jail due to "boy
ish pranks'HWith a few ex
ceptions, such vas the New York
students who were jailed last
winter because of 4 too active
sympathy: with, ' the; garment
workers' strike, most of the stu
dent riots in this country have
been caused by mass meetings
smacking strongly of football,
tradition or "good "spirits."
An editorial in the Pennsyl
oinwiin. dries not advocate mob
action as a principle, but points
out the desirability of rioting
over political, religious, social
and economic issues rather than
puerile rebellions against the
local police. The last European
riots at least indicate an aware
ness of existing problems not
found to any great extent among
young American students. An
other opinion expressed in this
week's college press on rioting
in the American universities is
that sucfcf purposeless ; destruc
tion' is stupid and ought to be
discouraged much more emphat
ically than has been done here
tofore. -. ..

"Odd" Mclntire Confesses To
Being "Somewhat Of A Nut
"It has been part of my very
agreeable job for some 20 years
to meet people ' who are known j
as-celebrities, by what James
Branch Cabell might call 'in
eluctable inference,," confesses
O. O. Mclntyre in the December
College Humor in his article on
Perpetual Celebs. "I remember
them for what I am pleased to
call their superb eccentricities
the little grotesque mannerisms,
perhaps of speech, action or even
clothes. I suppose that is en
tirely due to the fact that I,
myself, am by the way of being
somewhat of a 'nut'. Even my
actual name is 'Odd.'
"I have not, save to catch a
steamer or train, arisen before
noon .in fifteen years. I talk to
myself in the bath. I am afraid
of everything, yet in great emer
gencies people have testified to
my courage. I like to drink
coffee out of thick cups. ' I have
never been in the office reserved
for me by the concern that syn
dicates my newspaper articles.
I never accept dinner invitations
to private homes. I have no
bank account. I give every
penny of my earnings to my
wife, who signs all checks, ar
ranges contracts and all other
University Press
Praised In Kansas
In an editorial appearing in
the Daily Kansan, published by
the University of Kansas, men
tion is made of the University of
North Carolina press.
The editorial began by mak
ing the statement that valuable
work all over the country is
being done by university book
presses in printing scholarly and
accurate treatises on research
work done by students in various
fields. Continuing, it ranked the
University of North Carolina
book press with that of Yale and
of Oxford universities.
It was the hope of the writer
of the editorial that the Univer
sity of Kansas install a book
press similar to the ones men
tioned. MRS. WILLIAMS TO GIVE

invited by President Hoover to
attend a conference on child wel
fare and child protection. This

business affairs. I have no idea
what I am worth, if anything,
save a lot in Texas and a home
in New York, which I bought
and immediately gave to her.
"My shirts, suits, hosiery and
neckties are especially noisy. I
wear white linen spats winter
and summer and invariably
carry a cane. I usually dine in
a different restaurant every
evening. I work in my pajamas
all day and never dress before
five in the evening. I like people
but haven't more than a half
dozen intimates. I love my home
town but have not been there in
twenty years. I spend seven
months of the year in New York
and the rest of the time in
Europe and California.
"I generally read a book a
night, eat too much candy, am
devoted to a deaf Boston bull
dog, hate the telephone, refuse to
go to an editor's office, cannot
work if left alone in an apart
ment, answer every letter I re
ceive personally, like to walk in
Central Park alone at night,
often eat an entire glass of jelly
for breakfast, and my favorite
sweet is penny cocoanut flags
which you cannot get any more."
Coates Discusses
State Criminal Law
Professor Albert Coates, of
the law school, was the speaker
of the evening at the meeting of
the Lions Club in Greensboro
Wednesday night.
He spoke on the evolution of
punishments and the increasing
of judicial discretion in the ad
ministration of criminal law in
North Carolina. The cruelties
of the old penal system were
brought out. The lopping of
ears, the chopping off of hands,
and the tortures of ancient law
administration were contrasted
With the present day conditions.
Today the inflicting of bodily
punishment is not allowed. In
England there used to be over
300 crimes punishable by death,
while now only four crimes re
ceive the death sentence.
In the remainder of his
speech, , professor Coates at
tempted to point out the path of
progress in criminal law in the
State. "iii;i!-j-t

from this period, and described
some of the contributions which
these people have left to classic
art.
The prehistoric era in Greece
dates from 2000 to 1100 B. C,

statues, reliefs and tablets,
which have been found.
This address was the first of
two which Dr. Harland is mak

BY REDGREENE
Student Union President De
scribes Activities at the Uni
versity Over WPTF.,j
In a talk given Wednesday
afternoon over station WPTF in
Raleigh, Red Greene, president
of the student union said that
... v
"there is always a question in
the minds of the people of
the
state, especially in the minds of
those contemplating entering
college, as to just what various
activities college students engage
in while they are not pursuing
their studies.
"It has been the general prac
tice at North Carolina Univer
sity to give the students there a
great deal of freedom in their
efforts to organize and admin
ister the work of tlieir varied or
ganizations. Enjoying and pro
fiting by this freedom, our stu
dents have developed their ex
tracurricular organizations over
a wide field of activities."
Greene then dealt briefly with
each of the student organiza
tions here, showing how conduct
and discipline are regulated by
the student government ; the
moral and spiritual side of col
lege life by the churches and Y.
M. C. A. ; the social side by the
German Club and fraternities ;
and the physical side by inter
collegiate and intra-mural ath
letics. y He also spoke about the
purposes and benefits of the
various publications, the Caro
lina PIaymaIrs7 theband 1 and
glee club, the Student Entertain

ORGANIZATION OF
COLLEGE SPORTS
EDITORS PLANNED
Daily Tar Heel Sport Staff to Be
Host to Southern Conference
Writers in December.
The sports editor of the Daily
Tar Heel has made plans for the
organization . of . a sports press
association among the sports
writers of the conference col
leges. This, organization meet
ing is scheduled for December
13 when the Southern Confer
ence officials come to the Uni
versity. . The idea was suggested by
Vernon Rooke, sports editor of
the University of Kentucky
newspaper and the sports editors
of the other college papers have
heartily accepted this sugges
tion. They have been making
plans since. Only one meeting
is necessary, they think, to or
ganize. This session will con
vene on the morning of the 13th
in the offices of the Daily Tar
Heel.
The advantages of such a
press association would be to ex
change news between the col-'
leges and obtain news and art
concerning opposing teams in
the conference. A central bu
reau will be established, if the
group decides that there .is suf
ficient' news to justify such. The
editors will find it useful perhaps
to make selections of the all
southern teams.
. Several of the fraternities on
the campus have consented to
house the guest editors, while
they are here. .. .
