LOCAL WRITERS HAVE ESSAYS IN LATESTRELEASE Philology Magazine Is Edited by Dr. George R. Coffman, Head Of English Department. The January issue of Studies In Philology, a literary quarter ly of "which Dr. George R. Coff man, head of the University English department, is editor, contains three articles by per sons connected with the Univer sity. Editorial offices for this publication are in Chapel Hill. Dr. Robert B. Sharpe, of the English department, has written an article on "The Sources of Richard Brome's The Novella' Dr. Meno Spann, of the depart ment of Germanic languages, is the author of a discussion of "Exoticism and Henrich Heine," and Mathilde Parlett, a grad uate student in English, has in the quarterly an article on "The Influence of Contemporary Cri ticism on George Eliot." Source of Brome Traced Dr. Sharpe traces the sources from which Richard Brome, a pupil of Ben Jonson's, whose plays exceeded the latter's in popularity, drew his material for a play on Italy, The Novella. Translated. Novella means a novice courtesan. 'The play is written about a lady who posed in Venice as a lady whose fav ors are purchasable in order that she might draw her lover's at tention to herself. She preserved her innocence by putting " too high a-price on her charms, and in drawing the attention of all Venice to herself succeeded in her purposes. Dr, Sharpe traces the sources of this to stories and accounts of Venice , at the time in Fynes Moryson's Itinerary and Thomas Coryat's Crudities. The article also brings in con temporary references to show the vast number, great wealth, and hierh nosition of Venice's j ladies of the evening at the time.

Dr. Beard Says Technocracy Is Too Highly Idealistic To Be Practical - o- Noted Historian Declares That' New Economic Theory Shows How Country Was Plunged Into Present Difficulties, but Offers No Practical Means of Relief From Conditions. o Technocracy states clearly how this country was plunged into its .present muddle but of fers no practical means of extri cating it from its difficulty. This is the opinion voiced by Dr. Charles A. Beard; renowned historian and political science expert, in an interview with a representative of The Daily Tar Heel. Dr.-and Mrs. Beard are spending the winter in Chapel Hill, during the course of which he will deliver the Weil lectures. At the outset, Dr. Beard was somewhat hampered by the na ture of his subject, owing to the lack of official treatment of Technocracy. Because of this lack of authoritative pronounce ment, all who discuss it are ob liged to rely largely upon the statements concerning Technoc racy which have been, for the most part, set forth by men who are not too well acquainted with the aim and work of the group of some three hundred men who are rising into prominence in the pubKc eye. 'He began his comments by stating thatxthe American peo ple are highly subject to fads. As such, Technocracy is taking its place along with Freudian ism, Cueism, and a hundred other intellectual . rages which have swept the country; -;-Z':. Basis of Technocracy As Dr. Beard sees it, Technoc racy is based on three priciples : 1. The steady reduction of the amount of labor needed to produce each commodity. 2. Enormous increase in the out-put of commodities in pro University Men Compose Entire New State Welfare Department " o . Morrison Heads Organization to Supervise and Administer the Expenditure of $9,000,000 in Local and Federal Funds . Throughout North Carolina During Winter. o A new department of the state government, the Governor's Of fice of Relief, has been created within the last few weeks and the entire central administration is manned by University alumni, according to the January issue of The Alumni Review. This or ganization is supervising and ad ministering the expenditures of approximately $9,000,000 in re lief, including-both local and fed eral funds, throughout North Carolina during the winter. Prior to the expiration of his term of office, Governor O. Max Gardner, '06, was responsible I for seeing that all federal funds were properly expended and ac counted for. Since his inaug uration, Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus, '01, has assumed this responsibility. When the office first came into existence, Governor Gardner appointed Dr. Fred W. Morrison, '13, to direct the work actively. Dr. Morrison served as principal of the Chapel Hill high school from 1914 to 1924. - . Once Educator After being awarded a doctor ate at Columbia in the field of educational finance, Dr. Morri son joined the faculty of N. C. C. W. in Greensboro, where he remained until 1927. In that year he was appointed executive secretary of the tax commission by Governor A. W. McLean. portion to the number of people employed. This was explained by the contrast of-the number of persons employed in hand and machine labor. That is, when commodities are produced by hand, there is a limit to the num ber of people who are indespen sible in the production of the given commodity. With the machine, such a limit is not fix ed, since new inventions are con stantly reducing the number of men it is necessary to employ for this production. 3. As a result of this enor mous output of economic goods under our wage system .(called by Howard Scott the "price sys tem") it is impossible for the people who produce the material to buy it back. In explanation of this, Dr. Beard showed how, in 1929, and preceeding years, our output exceeded our purchasing power until inflated industry, no longer able to sell what it was producing in the great quantity to which it had expanded, tot tered from its eminence. Buying Power Question Technocracy looks forward to the day when machines will pro duce commodities practically without human supervision. Viewed in this light, the system of putting man on a four-tiour-a-day, four day week is only a temporary relief, and will not; solve thequestion of the source of man's buying power is to come. In the opinion of Dr. Beard, the changing of a means of ex change from money, with a re serve of gold, to notes drawn on (Continued on last page) s Ronald. B.

Midgett Add to Engineering Equip ment Through Labors7 A wind tunnel ,in Phillips hall which has been in the process of construction during the fall quarter and over the holidays has been completed and thor oughly tested by the builders, Professor N. P. Bailey and E. L. Midgett. This tunnel is a six inch open throat return 'type, and is capable of 100 miles per hour wind velocity at the work ing section. This return type is considered as the best type for small models as it is rarely af fected by outside conditions. The source of power is an electric driven air blower. The instruments used in con nection with the tunnel were also constructed in the -laboratory and consist of a three component wind tunnel balance for measur ing forces and moments on mod els, a liquid type tachometer for indicating the blower speed, an inclined manometer for measur ing pressure, and a Pitot tube for measuring the air velocity. These instruments if purchased would have cost over $400, but were constructed in the shop for practically nothing except labor and materials on hand. . The tunnel cost was less than (Continued." on last page) -
