D., to Barbour, R., for senate?
10. Will you pay 25 cents to at
tend the Gridgraph 'account of the
Carolina-Fordham game in v Memo
rial hall Saturday?
It Isn't Fair
The fellows down at Mangum
dorm got up a pot of money yes
terday. Sixty-three chipped in 25
ents and the winner was to re
ceive the pile which was supposed
to be a trip to the Fordham game
in New York city, Saturday. But
someone let Gates Kimball,' star
tackle on the Carolina squad, add
a two-bit piece. Gates' name was
drawn last night. But he's not the
lucky man that was supposed to
result! His expenses are supposed
to be paid by the team, and how
Mangum residents are wondering
if Coach Wolf won't take one of
them along in his place.
Soon To Be Movie And Opera
Sharecropper Play Will Be
Staged Here Tomorrow Night
"Tobacco Road" Cast Headed
By John Barton In Role
Of Jeeter Lester
"Your play will never make- a
nickel," said Sam H. Grisman, theatri
cal producer, when Jack Kirkland
"brought him the script of a play about
the share-croppers in Georgia, "but
its an honest play and I'm going to
produce it." That was six years ago.
Kirkland was better known as a pic
ture scenario writer. The play was
"Tobacco Road."
Now passing its 2075th perform
ance on Broadway, the same play has
been presented in 35 states, in Lon
don, and soon will be made into an
opera and a moving picture. The pro
ducer's faith was justified although he
was wrongs about "Tobacco Road's"
lack of general appeal. 'Tobacco
Road" will be produced on the canP
pus tomorrow evening in Memorial
hall.
CHARACTERS IN PLAY
Based on the novel by Erskine
Caldwell, the play tells a realistic
; story of a group of penniless share

MUST BE WRITTEN-IN
Charging that what he termed
"county rings" had become all too im
portant in both elections and admin
istration Dr. Woodhouse yesterday
called on "all good Democrats'" to
write in the name of Oscar G. Bark
er on their ballots and vote for him
instead of Carl T. Durham, local
pharmacist.
Text of the political science profes
sor's statement was:
"I consider that one will be proving
he is a good Democrat even more by
writing in Barker's name under Dur
ham's and putting a 'cross opposite
it and the name of every other candi
date for whom he wishes to vote, than
by putting an "X" in the circle at the
top of the ballot and thereby voting

Three University professors ex

the invasion of China, trying to jus

the other powers of the world on the
University of North Carolina broad
cast over WPTF Sunday.
Dr. E. E. Erickson of the English
department, Dr. D. H. Buchanan of
the Economics department, and Dr.
C. B. Robson of the political science
department pointed out that Japan's
aggression in China is partly in order

To Bring Them Back
So They fon Study
By RUSH IIAMRICK
Stanley Leary, Jr., of Ahoskie,
and Charles Daniels of Williamston
said yesterday that a Negro was un
successful in holding them up Sunday
evening. Daniels succeeded in taking
the bandit's gun and forced him to
bring him to his dormitory. Both
boys are freshmen and live in Ay
cock dormitory.
An account of the incident was
told as follows by Leary, tackle on
the freshman football squad:
NOW IT CAN BE TOLD
"We were standing on a street
corner in Raleigh when a Negro,
well-dressed and driving a 1938 La
Salle, steered his automobile to the
side of the curb and, rolling the
window down enough to be heard,
asked us where we were going and
how many more was with us. After
Leary made clear that there was
only jtwo, the Negro asked how many
guns we had. Somewhat frightened
at this, we answered that we did .not
have any. However, this did not
please the man, so we were ordered
to turn around. "
"Then the door of the car was
opened and we were told to get in

driver . and Leary was next to the
door when he drove off at 85 miles an
hour. fl., - .

L. B. Rogerson
Receives Report
From Committee
By LOUIS HARRIS
In a report presented to L. B. Rog
erson, assistant controller, the Student
Advisory committee yesterday recom
mended that straight telephone lines
be installed in the dormitories bn the
campus. Under the present system
two dorms are on one wire, causing
innumerable difficulties, the commit
tee of three, Bill Cole, Ned Hamilton,
and Vaughn Winborne, pointed out.
The report stated that the expense
for having straight lines would be 50
cents more at a minimum and two
dollars and 25 cents at the most, per
month in each case. It was also speci
fied that if any new dorms were con
structed, the straight line system be
installed.
PHONE BOOTHS
Another phase of the committee's
findings and proposals was that all
dormitories have the telephones shift
ed into the phone booths, which would
be partially sound-proof. It was
pointed out that at the present time
it is almost impossible to hear, at cer
tain intervals during the day. The
cost of installing the booths would bo
about 50 dollars apiece, the report
read.
Also recommended by the Advisory
committee was that framed student
codes should be placed in every room
on the campus. Payment has been pro
vided for and details of putting them
up are all completed.
If the proposals of. the committee
are approved by L. B. Rogerson, th
recommendations will become realities.
Several leading members of the stu
dent body yesterday stated that they
are in favor of the plan.

in regard to the proposal. . , :
Rumor Connects Chi
Psi With Mystery Fire
The campus was awakened Sun
day night at 11 o'clock when the
fire whistle blew. It blew for dis
trict 42, and 42 is at the corner of
Cameron avenue and Mallette
street.
Within two minutes about fifty
boys, attired in suits to pajamas,
were standing at the corner of
Cameron and Mallette looking for
the fire and waiting for the fire
truck.
The fire truck never arrived and
boys finally had to return to their
rooms unsatisfied in their desire to
fight a fire.
The only solution to the mystery
of why the fire horn blew was
rumors that, so far this year, Chi
Psi has been unable to get all
their members together at one time
for a meeting.
