REVEALS FACTS
THE COUNCELOR
SYSTEM STARTS
For the past week there has been
in the medical building a cancer ex
hibit which has attracted the interest
and attention of all those who have
seen it. The exhibit was loaned to
the med school by Dr. V. D. James,
who is surgeon at the Hamlet Hospi
tal, at Hamlet, N. C.
The exhibit consists of a panel in
which a group of picture negatives
are set. Behind the panel are lights
which show these pictures up. It
shows the pictures of several of Dr.
James' patients before, during, and
after treatment for cancer by radium.
A glance at the panel will readily
show how effective radium treat
ment has become, and the advances
surgery has made along that line.
AH the coures are remarkable and'
some of them are really marvelous.
Large growths on all parts of 'the
body are shown as having' been suc
cessfully removed, and horrible dis
figurations caused by cancer of the
face have been corrected to a large
extent and the cancer exterminated.
The method of procedure in the
cure is rather simple. Actual ra
dium is not used, but a substance
which is exposed to radium and which
retains the radium rays. It is as
effective as actual radium for a lim
ited length of time. This substance,
which is known as the emanations of
the radium, is placed in a slender
tube, called a trochar, about the size
of a knitting needle, and pointed at
one end like a needle. This trochar
is injected into the body at the dis
eased spot. A small rod is then used
to push the emanations or germs
out of the trochar into the body. The
rays which permeate from this tend
to destroy the life of the cancer.
These treatments do not in any way
inconvenience the patient, and it is
not necessary for him to bo confined
at a hospital or even to go to bed.
Dr. James has obtained results in
his work. He is assisted by his broth
er, Dr. A. W. James, also of . Ham
let. They have attracted widespread
notice by their remarkable cures.
Madame Curie, the discoverer of, and
experimenter with radium, has learn
ed of their work and cures, and has
, expressed a keen interest in them.
This exhibit won second prize at
the San Francisco Exposition of the
American Medical Association this
year. ..
Formerly a person stricken with
cancer gave up all hope and resign
ed himself to death. This exhibit,
which represents the advancement
made by surgery along this line,
shows that cancer, which was once
the curse of mankind, has at last been
conquered.
The exhibit is under the care of
Mr. M. J. Kelly, of the second year
med class, and will be there until
Saturday, October 26. Those who
wish to' see it should do so by tha
time.
SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
ISSUES TWO BULLETINS
The School of Education through
its Bureau of Educational Research
has just issued two bulletins that
will be of interest to the educational
workers in the state. The first is
known as the Studies in Education
No. 1 and contains the Lohr-Lat-shaw
Latin Form Tests for High
Schools. The second is the Septem
ber bulletin of the Bureau of Educa
tional Research giving the price list
of standard educational tests in va
rious school subjects. The price of
the Lohr-Latshaw Latin Form Tests
is seventy-five cents. The price list
of standard educational tests is dis
tributed free of charge on applica
tion. The tests listed theroin may
be had through the Bureau of Edu
cational Research at the prices quoted.
IMPROVEMENTS BEING
MADE IN QUADRANGLE
Under the direction of Dr. Coker,
chairman of the Committee on
Grounds and Buildings, many im
provements are being made in the
Quadrangle. Grass has been sown
around the buildings and evergreens
are being set out. From all evi
dences, this part of the campus will
soon live up to the appearance it
makes on the post cards at Foister's.
Another much needed improvement
that is being made is the construc
tion of a walk from the, southwest
corner of the arboretum to Emerson
Field.
The Freshman Friendship Council
held its organization meeting for the
year last Thursday night in the so
cial rooms of the Presbyterian
Church, at which time W. W. Gwynn,
vice-president of the Y. M. C. A., act
ed as temporary chairman. There
were "present sixty-seven ex Hi-Y
men from the leading towns all over
the State and also eleven ex Hi-Y
men from State College who came
over to be present at the meeting.
This delegation was led by the
president of State "Y", E. S. King
and President Griffin of the State
Freshman Friendship Council.
Charles Hebert was elected pres
ident of the Freshman Friendship
Council; Jesse Calhoun, vice-presi
dent; Edward Thompson, secretary;
and W. K. Lanier, treasurer.
Dr. F. P. Venable, former presi
dent of the University, made a short
talk stressing the thought that ser
vice was the only true means to in
dividual happiness. Billie Steele of
the Class of '18 made a talk in which
he emphasized the thought that the
Freshman Friendship Council was
the place to get a good start in the
right direction. A word from both
Griffith and King, the latter bring
ing out the thought that there is a
strong relation between the Fresh
man Friendship Council and the Y.
M. C. A. Cabinet as the Council is
really a wing of the "Y." Henry
Duls reviewed the Freshman Friend
ship Council constitution as adopted
by the Council of last year and sug
gested a policy that this year's Coun
cil might well clyi.
The Freshman Frliiidship Council
is the congress of the freshman
class. Every member of the Coun
cil is the direct representative of
eight members of the Class of '27.
Each representative then endeavors
to secure beneficial changes that the
men he represents desire.
The meeting at the supper last
Thursday night was very snappy and
peppy throughout and things got a
good start for the year. Several of
the ex Hi-Y men from the large
cities of the State made short talks
which added a great deal of pep to
the meeting.
Study of Matriculation Cards
Reveals Some Interesting
Vocation Facts
Negro House Burned
Friday Afternoon
Caught in a sweeping gi.-, oi wild,
flames of unknown origin rapidly
and with a ravenous appetite destroy
ed a two room frame house midway
between Chapel Hill and Carrboro.
The house was burned to a crisp,
and one just below it narrowly es
caped; in fact, the flames threaten
ed seriously to clean out all the dis
reputable eyesores that infest that
immediate neighborhood. The fire
started about two Monday afternoon.
The shack that burned down was
sccupied by John Ford, a waiter at
he University Cpfeteria, and owned
'jy Henry Crump, colored, who also
wns the other building damaged and
several frame structures just below
on the same side of the street.
The fire whistle sounded and the
crowd gathered. It was a choice
scene; excitement craving students,
a motley mixture of whites and
blacks combining shouts, gestures,
and instructions. The dry shingles
and tinder-like wood made a noble
blaze. The colored movie palace was
threatened. Dogs barked as usual,
and the Chapel Hill Fire Department
fought nobly.
Assisted by students and the wind's
quieting down, they soon had the sit
uation in hand and rnuch to the sor
row of many only one of the ram
shackled buildings was destroyed. In
surance was held on the burned house
but the amount is not known. Dam
age is estimated at $500.
There is complete mystery sur
rounding the source of the flames,
The house was locked and no one
was around. Spontaneous combus
tion has been advanced as the cause
of fire.
INFIRMARY NOTES
The following students are in the
infirmary: George Wilkinson, '27,
tonsilitis; M. M. Grier, '25, who suf
fered a broken leg in football; J. J.
Murphy, '27, chickenpox; P. L.
Stokes, '27, cold; M. N. Gier'sch, '27,
cold, and J. W. Barron, cold.
Carolina students are not follow
ing in the footsteps of their fathers
in choosing their life work.
A study of the matriculation cards
of the 750 members of the freshman
class just completed by Dean Brad
shaw reveals the fact that ninety
five per cent of the new men intend
to follow an occupation different
from that of their father.
"These hard figures," Dean Brad
shaw points out, "bear striking tes
timony to the rapidity with which
North Carolina is changing from a
rural and simple to a complex and in
dustrial life. The great increase in
the number of vocations is particu
larly significant. It has a direct bear
ing on North Carolina's future. These
figures undoubtedly apply more or
less to other freshman classes of re
cent years."
Dean Bradshaw made this inquiry
for the first time this year in con
nection with the University's newly
established bureau of vocational guid
ance, the purpose of which is to
make available information which
will help students without special
bent to choose a career.
More than half of the freshmen,
the statistcs reveal, are wholly de
pendent on themselves for suppoprt,
and are working their way through
college as self-help students. Only
one-fifth of the new men have never
earned any money at all.
The councellor system, which
proved of such great assistance last
year, is being inaugurated again this
year. Sometime during the week,
the freshmen will be assigned to
councelors. In place of the forty nine
men who served last year, there will
be eighty-two councelors this year.
Instead of fourteen men to one coun-
celor as last year, the increased niira
ber of councelors will make it possi
ble to assign only nine men to each
group.
Wherever it has been possible, the
freshmen have been assigned as
councelor some member of the facul
ty who teach them. This system will
enable more natm-al contact to exist
between the councelor and the coun-
celees.
Each councelor has a card with his
councilee's home address, high, school
preparation and college activities.
There is nothing compulsory about
the system; it is simply for the good
of the freshmen, something to take
away the feeling of strangeness, a
means of helping them become ac
quainted out in town. Nor will there
be any supervisory about the sys
tem. It is primarily for the purpose
of the rapid assimilation of fresh
men.
CHIEF LOCKS UP
STRAY CANINES
Promises to Rid the Town of
the "Sooner" Dogs
Dogs Dogs and more dogs. Pas
sels of them, flee bitten, dirty, or
nery sacks of hide and bones plus a
couple of jack rabbit ears. It has
been said that Chapel Hill has more
dogs than cedar birds. We wouldnt
be for arguing over the matter but
Chief Long has decided to rid the
town of the poor little canines and
maybe there remains a mite of hope
for that feathery flock so well known
to the campus.
Chief takes his ropes along with
him and walks the dog to what that
well known official terms the pound.
He's got them there. Numerous col
lies with long pretty coats, lop eared
specimens of the specie known as
soon er pups who "ain't proud of their
ancestors," and a few more unknown
breeds, mostly poodle, all await an
unknown fate.
The proud protector of law and or
der has made the assertion that they
are an eye sore, a public nuisance,
and adds that he intends to rid the
township of the pesky varmints. "I
hope no one calls for them, then I can
shoot them and the boys can have
a football game without a dog show
included." All those who have miss
ed their little friends and who ob
ject to such kindness to animals are
asked to see the Chief immediately.
He will gladly collect the dog tax and
the fee for feeding the canine. He
is yours free of charge.
Same Plan as Used Last Year
Will be Used Again
This Year
Dr. A. E. Cory, pastor of the Gor
don Street Church of Christ, of Kin
ston, will preach in Gerrard Hall at
eight P. M., Sunday the first of the
University Sermons to be held this
year. The series of University Ser
mons is one of the finest things "that
the University affords in the way of
outside attractions.
They neven fail to be of greatest
interest, and are always well attended.
