White Rats "Intoxicated"
On Alcohol Vapors To Set
New
Cornsweet Reveals
Results Of Three
Years Of Research
By LOUISE JORDAN
For the first time in the history
of experimental psychology white rats
have been "intoxicated" on alcohol va
pors. The experiment was performed
by A. C. Cornsweet, University psycho
logist, as part of a research problem
in which he has been studying the
effect sof various anesthesia on rats.
Cornsweet is now entering his third
year of work on the problem and in
its present phase has proved that in
toxication with alcohol can be induced
through breathing its vapors, as well
as through subcutaneous injections
and through drinking. The exact time
at which the stimulative effects of
alcohol cease and the anesthetic ef
fects begin can be determined only
with difficulty. Loss of consciousness
began in the animals from 15 to 50
minutes following the first introduc
tion of the vapors.
ANESTHESIA STUDY
Others studying anesthesia, Corn
sweet remarked, are apparently not
looking for the same thing that he
is. The medical profession anesthetizes
to operate. His purpose is to observe
what parts of the organism are dis
turbed and how they are affected as
the animal comes under and goes out
of the anesthesia.
After being under anesthesia, until
normal processes can bring about a
recovery, the animal or individual has
come from "subnormal" or "abnormal"
conditions. The whole . organism v has
been disturbed. Cornsweet -does not
seek to refute medical theory but to
cooperate with the profession in that
his research on the. way (the organism
is changed may be of value to doctors
in their use of anesthetics. ,
The rats in the recent , experiment
took from 20 minutes to an hour to
become unconscious. The direction of
loss of use of their organs proceeded
from hind limbs to the f orelimbs and;
finally, to the brain. In psychological
terminology this is known as a cattdo
cephalic sequence. -J
REVERSE ORDER
In recovery the sequence of mover
ment followed the reverse order. The
animal first recovered use of the or
gans of the head, followed by use of
the f orelimbs and, finally, the hind
limbs.
Significantly, Cornsweet remarked,

POLLSHOWSFEW
STUDENTS WOULD
ENLIST FOR WAR
Marriage Courses ,
Found Popular On
National Campuses
A poll recently conducted by the
.Student Opinion Surveys of Ameria
revealed that, of the many thousand
male college students interviewed
throughout the country, less than two
out of ten would volunteer their ser
vices to the country in case of war
fare other than for self-defense. The
poll also showed that the majority of
college students are in favor df mar
riage courses and feel that authorita
tive information on the subject of sex
should be made available to students
at all colleges. '
The poll, conducted by the student
survey group, also established the fact
that among college students, the popu
larity of President Roosevelt increased
two and five-tenths per cent during
the period from December to January.
This rise in popularity, Dr. George
Gallup says, is due to the President's
activities in world affairs rather than
in domestic affairs during the period
indicated. While his popularity has in
creased somewhat, only 28 per cent
of the ' students interviewed are in
favor of a third term for Roosevelt.
ENLISTMENT?
Although the survey does not at
tempt to predict how "many students
would enlist in case of actual war
farei it does, however, offer its find
ings on the subject to the general pub
lic. The report continued to say, that
most of the students who were willing
to fight offered reasons for their
answers, Most oiten menuonea in xne
reasons was the statement thatthey
would willingly fight to "preserve de
mocracy." Quite a few mentioned that
they were members of the National

BULLETIN NO. 2
(The Student Committee of One Hundred suggests all N. C. students
give this information to their parents, bome-town papers, and legislators.
The following information is supplementary to the box published yester
terday.) "
SENATOR SUTTON. PROPOSES: V
For 1939-40 for 3,490 (estimated) Students
A. Senator Sutton obtains his figure as follows:
This year's allotment of appropriations at C. H.
For salary increments and new positions
(Approved by Budget Commission)
For equipment of New Medical Building
(Approved by Budget Commission) .
Total . :
The reasonableness of this figure further appears in the following com
parison: j : . '..
Legislature of '37 actually appropriated for 1938-39
for estimated enrollment 2,750 students 742,765
Later reduced by revised budget allotment to . 727,226
Now further cut by budget allotment
(This is the figure Senator Stutton takes as base)
However, of the $804,469 the amount of $33,750 is to go not for regular
maintenance but for Medical School equipment. Thus Sutton proposes
merely that the tax payers spend at Chapel Hill for the regular running
expenses of next year only $53,000 more than they spent this year only
$23,000 more to be spent on 3,400 students than the legislature of '37
estimated the University would need for 2,750 students. .
.-... - .. " i . - . . "
B. Senator Sutton would use money raised by out-of-state increase,
whether on a reciprocal or other basis, towards a scholarship fund for
meritorious students. . .

WHY? What has happened since 1937 to cut $110 per student of f whajt
the State of North Carolina (seeking advertisement to the world) in

NOTE: The figures yesterday presented for appropriations were for the
University at Chapel Hill only. Because the Legislature and the press
frequently use the total figures for the Greater University, that com
bined figure is here presented in such form as to make it convenient to

ENTRANCE INTO
POLITICAL RACE
Protests ''Minority
ControF Exhibited
By Campus Parties
In a formal statement issued yes
terday Bill Pearson, independent can
didate for the student body presidency,
set forth his chief reason for entering
the political race as being a protest
to "minority control" of campus poli
tics. Pearson announced his candidacy
late Thursday night " at the request
of many friends" to oppose Jim Davis,
nominated by both the University and
Student party for the campus' highest
office. . .
DAVIS COMMENT
Davis, when asked to comment on
Pearson's announcement, only said,
"It's a free country. He is as much
entitled to run as I."
University party Chairman Studie
Ficklen expressed no surprise at
Pearson's candidacy.
"I had heard rumors to the effect,"
Ficklen said, "and can only say that,
personally, I am glad to see another
candidate in the race."
The idependent candidate, whose
home is in Charlotte, is a member of
the junior class and is a major in Edu
cation. He is now serving his second
year as president, of Everett dormi
tory Pearson is also secretary of" the
Interdormitory council and a. member
of the student legislature.
Person's statement to the student
body, is as follows:

South Building
Has lis Venus
. South bunding has its deansr and
its Venus. Not one of these goddesses
of the Shack, but a real Venus, a
plaster goddess, if you must know.
She lives on the fourth floor under
the cupola and the bell. But don't let
your heart beat too. fast; she is not
alone. She has a boy friend, whom
some call Apollo, and a staid, sage
old chaperon, called Minerva.
These three live a life of monotony
among the boxes of the forgotten rec
ords and musty blanks of the years
past. Minerva, staring into the dusty
air with a chaperon's unrelenting
gaze, echoes the same unrelentingness
of the readmissions board. But Venus
is turned away from the dull surface
of the wall and faces the window, as
if she were tired of her Apollo and
is searching for the right Carolina
gentleman to pass her way. In ap
parent sorrow the god of the sun
buries his firm plaster nose into the
nearest box of records.
VISIT, WONT YOU?
Make them a visit sometime. They
once occupied an enviable niche in the
old library in what is now Hill Music
hall. When the new library was built,
these gods and goddesses could find
no place in the changing world and
were carried off to the dust of South
Building's attic to dream their melan
choly dreams of the forgotten past.
Go cheer them up, and give them a
modern view point.

Phantoms Virtually
Capture Seat In
Conference Meet
.By SHELLEY ROLFE
While 5,000 thrilled witnesses for
sook everything to become devoted
clock watchers, the University of North
Carolina basketball team broke a 31
31 tie in the last four minutes of play
to defeat Duke 37-32 at Woollen gym
last night and virtually march into the
Southern conference tournament.
Behind 20-15 at the.half, the Devils,
defending loop champions, took ad
vantage of a mid-period Tar Heel col
lapse which threatened to explode the
Skidmore chillun right out of the tour
ney to tie the game three different
times before falling to the Carolina v
onslaught. It was the third Tar Heel
win in a row and brought their con
ference record to six wins against six
losses.
LAST PERIOD RUSH
Registering points from the start
of the last period, Duke began its con
certed rush when Suitcase Ed Swin
dell sank a set shot after ten minutes
of play which brought the count to 27
23. Charley Holley's one hander in an
under-the-basket mix-up made it 27-
25 and Russ Bergman, taking a pass
from Swindell under the basket, tied
the game at 27-27.
Bergman put the Devils in the lead
with a short set shot, but George Gla
mack knotted the count at 29-29 with
two gratis points. Flipping in a hook
shot, Glamack sent the Tar Heels back
into the lead, Swindell tied the strug
gle up again at 31-31 on a one-hander.
CAUTION TO WIND
-f With' a "tournament bid If or boC.
teams resting on every' shot, players
on both teams threw caution' tor the
winds and started shooting from all
corners of the court. Ben Dilworth
rang the bell on a set shot that put
Carolina ahead 33-31 and the Tar
Heels never relinquished the advan
tage.. Thomas, after missing two previ
ous fouls finally made one and Puke
was behind 33-32 but the Devils did
not score again. Dilworth and Severin
each made foul shots, before' Severin
ended the game with a running, stum
bling set shot that went in just before
