VOLUME XXXIX
SENIOR CLASSES
SPONSOR SECOND
GOOD WILL TRY!
trophy Will Be Presented Win
ners of Duke-Carolina Game
In Friendship Effort.
Recognizing the fact that the
annual football games between
Carolina and Duke are clearly
destined to become the high
spots on the schedules of both
universities, the senior classes
of the two institutions have tak
en steps to place the rivalry on
the highest level of sportsman
ship.. Last season a joint meeting
of officials in student organiza
tions on both campi was spon
sored by the literary societies,
and a series of resolutions were
drawn up and adopted favoring
the establishment of better (rela
tionships in athletic, journalistic,
and all other activities. From
one of these resolutions there de
veloped an idea of some tangible !
token of the friendly rivalry "In her remarkable characteri
sought for, and this idea found .zation of the old grandmother,
expression in the friendship tro
phy which is to be awarded this
season for the first time.
The trophy is to be an annual
award presented each year at
the close xof the game to the
winning team. It will remain in
the possession of the victor un
til the next game is played.
There will be no permanent pos
session, however, for any specific
number of games won, but it is
intended to be an annual award.
According to the present plan,
the trophy will be presented by
the captain of the losing team to
the captain of the winner, the
rival chiefs meeting at midfield
immediately after the close of
the game.
The trophy is of silver and is
mounted on a black base, oval
in shape. Its upright surface
presents two silver goal-posts
and cross-bar made in propor
tion to those on the playing field.
Dates and names of the winning
teams will be engraved thereon
each year.
KOCH WILL GIVE
- ANNUAL READING
At eight-thirty Sunday eve
ning in the Playmakers Theatre,
Frederick H. Koch will give his
annual reading of Dickens' im
mortal Christmas Carol. For
twenty-five years, the director

York, Boston, and in numerous
towns throughout the state.

reading of the Carol. He began

Meted with the University of
North Dakota, where before a
"reside in the parlor of the
Woman's Building, he read it
fr the first time to an assembled
Sroup consisting of students and
faculty members.
Professor Koch has an estab
hshed reputation as a character
lnterpreter. He has, in a pinch,
kken parts in Shakespearean
5s presented .here. When

OB'S KINFOLKS
BEING PUBLI1
Play by Loretto C. Bailey Ac
cepted by Boston Publishing
Company.
Loretto Carroll Bailey's three
act play, Job's Kin folks has been
accepted by the Walter H. Baker
Publishing Company of Boston,
and is now in the process of pub
lication. The full length play is the re-!
suit of three one-act plays deal
ing with the lives of mill peo
ple. It is the story of a mill
woman's vain effort to rear an
only daughter amid adverse cir
cumstances and conditions which
finally prove the stronger. Al
though the plot is cleverly
woven, it is the characterization
which accounts largely for the!
play's success. Mrs. Bailey, her
self acted the part of Kizzy, the
grandmother, in one of the ear
lier presentations. The Theatre
Magazine commented on her per-
formance in the following way,
she caught the image of tired,
despairing old age with such
sincerity and understanding as
might be expected from a sea
soned, mature actress certain
ly, not from a young woman of
twenty."
The play was originally pro
duced by The Carolina Play
makers here on November 7, 8,
9, 1929 with Mrs. Bailey acting
the part of Kizzy, Nettina Stro-
bach as Kate, Phoebe Harding as
Katherine, Muriel Wolff as Es
telle, Howard Bailey as Danny,
and Hubert Heffner taking the
part of Carl Rogers. The re
vised full version play was the
result of a combination of the
original Job's Kinfolks, and its
sequel, Black Water, produced
April 5 and 6. The author was
but nineteen when the first draft
was read in 1927 before an au
dience which, though generally
unimpressed, complimented Ker
vivid characterization. With
this incentive she returned the
next morning with an entirely
new play. From this time on
she constantly improved it until
finally a reviewer for The New
York Times sums it thus : "Writ
ten with full knowledge of a mill-
town background and, played
with authority and understand
ing, it has emerged a produc
tion of excellent unity and com
pelling force.

The committee to select an additional alma mater has
received contributions over a period of a month, but feel
ing that there has not been an adequate enough expres
sion from either the alumni or the student union they
have extended the time until December 20.
From time to time The Daily Tar Heel will publish the
proposed alma maters. The first bf these follows:
ALMA MATER
By Alex E. Alexander
At thy sacred altar plighted
Our high vows shall be,
Where the flame of Truth is lighted
We will honor thee
Alma mater, kindest mother,
Wisdom's glowing shrine,
All thy sons know not another
Heart as good as thine. '
Children, to thy shining portals
Eagerly we fare,
At thy feet, most blest of mortals
We for life prepare;
Eating at thy feast of learning
Held all else above,
Till our minds at last are burning
With thy mother love. ,
Then into the world outpouring,
Ready for the strife,
Sons of thine go forth adoring -
Thee, to conquer life.
Alma Mater we will cherish
Far tho we may roam
And never in our soul shall perish ;
Her Carolina home.
Graduate Of I860 Recalls
University Of His Youth
By Ben Neville
Sitting quietly at home, re
miniscing of the days long past,
living in the glories of the ante
bellum South, a typical old
southern gentleman recalls the
happy days he spent in his Alma
Mater over seventy years ago.
To him that space of time seems
but yesterday, and his thoughts
wander back to those familiar
scenes in which he played a part.
Vivid are the memories of those
occurrencies and tender are the
remembrances of friends he held
so dear. Most of his college
mates have passed into the
Great Beyond, but to him they
live again in the dreams and vi
sions of his youth when they
were in school together.
In 1860 about ninety ambiti
ous boys were graduated from
the University of North Caro
lina to pursue their life's work.
The nation wasthen overspread
with a black cloud of civil war,
and those young gallants, fresh
from the study of old Greek and
Roman battles and conflicts of
chemical atoms, heroically join
ed the fray, most of them in de
fense of their beloved state and
southland, while others went
back into their native North to
fight against their former col
lege friends. For four long
years they were engaged in that
mighty vortex which finally
brought desolation and ruin
upon their Alma Mater and the
South. Of those boys who were
graduated in '60 only two have
not been called before the Su
preme Commander Dan Cole
man, and John Thorpe and
strangely enough they were on
opposite sides in the conflict, the
former being a Federal and the
latter a Confederate.
Today Captain . John H.
Thorpe, now in his ninety-third
year, lives . anew the days he
spent on the University campus
and the trying circumstances he
faced during the War Between
the States. His memory is ex
ceedingly vivid of the past, and
he delights in his many friends
with recollections of the Univer
sity of his youth. To him this
is an entirely different era and
i he is proud to see that the in
fant college of his day has grown
into maturity. He has always
had a strong affection for her
and has followed her growth
with great interest. He saw her
fall in the gloomy days of Re
construction only , to rise again
with new life and energy. With
a staunch band of loyal alumni
he nobly fought for and assisted
in her re-opening, and during
the critical days that followed,
from 1875 to 1885, he served as
a trustee.
"I have always had a deep af
fection for the University," said
Captain Thorpe, "and I shall
forever hold the memories of the
days I spent there in a tender
place of my heart. I consider
the friendships I formed at
Chapel Hill are of more value to
me than the learning I gained
from books, for no matter where
I have chanced to go I have al
ways found some . friend from
Carolina. In my day a college
education consisted mainly of a
knowledge of Greek, latin, and
other language, courses ; all of
that I have forgotten but my
friends have a vivid place in my
memory." .
In this ante-bellum Univer
sity, according to Captain
Thorpe, the real governing
bodies were the two literary so
cieties, the Dialectic Senate and
the Philanthropic Assembly. Not
only were they arenas for de
bate but also they enforced the
discipline of the University, and
the fear of incurring their cen
sure was greater than that of
offending the faculty. These so
cieties also had charge of the
beautification of the campus, and
students were fined for walking
on the grass or for throwing pa
per on it. : :..
Captain Thorpe joined the
Phi, as was the custom for men
from eastern North Carolina,
and was very fond of the society.
He testifies that the Phi was
worth more to him than any
other collecre activity. jThe
meetings of the Assembly were
secret, and honor and loyalty
were stressed. The society was
strictly in order at all times, and
each meeting was conducted
with great decorum, the mem
bers performing their , duties
with much spirit and diligence.

NUMBER G4
PARKER STRESSES
NEED OF LEADERS
IN NATION TODAY
Judge Believes the Literary Soci
eties Are Best Fitted to
Produce These Men.
"Bring the literary societies
out of the attics and put them
back in their rightful position
on the campus," stated John J.
Parker in his address at the
banquet of the Dialectic Senate
in the ballroom of the Carolina
Inn Thursday night.
The speaker began his talk
impressing the fact that democ
racy would live only so long as
it remained efficient. "This ef
ficiency depends solely on the
development of popular leader
ship," continued the JudgV He
was of the opinion that never
before in its history was democ
racy crying for leaders as it is
today. "It is standing at one of
the most crucial periods in its
existence," he further declared.
It was his idea that the col
leges and universities in the
country1 must be depended upoiir
to furnish this much needed
leadership.. Because students
learn early to, become interested
in state and national affairs by
taking part in the literary soci
eties, the speaker stated that
these groups were jthe best fitted
to produce state and national
leaders.
"The man with a personality
who can deliver a message to
the public, has and always will
beirstene1ftowrtE respect7said
Justice Parker. "A man can't
become a leader unless, he Knows
how to express himself in pub
lic assemblies."
i In closing the Judge of the
fourth circuit court of appeals
made the suggestion that the
University give credit for good
work in these literary societies.
, Dean F. F. Bradshaw, who.
was the first speaker on the pro
gram, stated his belief that the
University was in need of the
literary societies as . much if not
