YOUNG TARS TO
MEET VIRGINIA
THKAEIERNOON
Tar Babies Have Three Wins
Chalked Up; Doped to
Make It Four.
North Carolina
Club Will Hold
Meeting Monday
Though the varsity will not play
this week-end, Carolina students will
not lack amusement along s football
lines, since they will have their , sec
ond chance to see Coach Belding's
freshman team in action. This game
should prove quite interesting from
more than one point of view. In the
first place it will fee with the fresh
men from the University ,ojf;Virginia
and in a sense will be a preliminary
to the big Thanksgiving classic, which
the varsity teams of the- two schools
will play next Thursday.: ; Another
point of interest ' is the fact that the
Virginians are coached by a North
-Carolinian, Joe McConnell, former
atar pivot man for Davidson.
Pre-game dope now favors the Tar
'Babies to win. Their perfect record
of three-wins over some of the strong
est freshman teams in the section-is
mighty imposing." Another "factor
i." i. a.. i j j.t-
. in Carolina's favor, is that the Virgi
nia frosh were defeated by the Mary
land freshmen. Last Saturday the
' Tar Babies decisively 'trounced t the
" Old Liners. Provided that they do
" win this game, the Carolina freshmen
"have n excellent chance to finish. the
season ;unbeaten, since "State College,
the only other opponent; has been de
feated by Duke, In the first game
of the year ' Belding's men whipped
Thike. Therefore on a iasis of com
parative scores, the Tar Babies should
easily win from State's yearlings.' -
In helping prepare the varsity for
its clash next Thursday, the fresh
men have seen quite a bit of scrim
maging this week. Wednesday and
-Thursday saw them working against
-the first and second string teams."
"Yesterday the work tapered off
somewhat in order that the squad
might be in good "shape" for this af
ternoon's struggle. - Only one injury
Maryland. - Rip Slusser, former Au
gusta star, had his leg hurt. This
has kept him out of the rougher work
his Week but he will probably be in
shape to start at his halfback posi
tion., this afternoon. While there is5
still some doubt as to who will com
pose the starting lineup, it is quite
probable that the same team that be
gan the 'Maryland game will take the
field today. However the following
team is likely to start: "Morris and
. Runnels, ends; Buohan and Alexander,
.,tapkles; Hutchinson and Donavant,
guards; Gilbreath,- centerr Branch,
quarterback; Slusser and Yost, halves;
and McAllister or Estes, fullback.
Since there is no game among the
members of the Big Five ; scheduled J
for today, officials are expecting the
crowd to be .quite asbit larger than
usual. The game will be played at
. 2:30 in Kenan Stadium. Admission
will be $1.00. I
The North Carolina Club will
hold its regular meeting Monday
night, November 26, in room
112, Saunders Building. The sub
ject under discussion will be
"Transportation . and Communi
cation in North Carolina," and a.
paper on this theme will be pre
sented by Mr. Gould :'M. Ham
bright. Not only will Mr. Ham
bright trac the ? development of
; ' railroads, highways, automobiles,
telephones, and ' radios in- the
, state but he will; discuss the 'in
fluence which these new modes
of transportation and ; communi
cation aye having on rural people
--- and rural institutions. 'f
v .y It is hoped that those who
' have attended recent meetings of
' the' club will be present Monday
night, as well as many who have
not been before. These discus
sions of current conditions and
problems of the state are proving
to ,be of great interest to those
who participate in them. The
meeting will be called promptly
at .7:30 and will adjourn within
an hour. ..

Discussion Group
; On "How To Study"
At the last meeting of the discussion
group Friday on "How to-Study,"
Dean Bradshar stated the general
rules of psychology that deal with
(-concentration and showed how these
rules govern effective study. "Life is
a rhythm," said Mr. Bradshaw, "and
we must 'learn to use that rhythm ef
fectively ,in order to succeed."
Mr. Bradshaw went on to say that
if he had no interest in a subject and
that he felt that he could not develop
an interest in it, he would drop that
course from his studies. Av collesre
diploma-is" important, said IVJrV Brad
shaw, but it "is not so important that '
in order , to get it one f should form
habits of getting by with lessons
which will carry over into life. '
"A person has only a limited amount
of energy, either physical or mental,
and he should arrange his work so
that he can accomplish the most with
this energy," stated ' Mr.' Bradshaw.
he is doing at the time. By efficient
self-management one should relax. He
should follow the old proverb of work
while you work and play while you
play." " -,.."V:; . - :
The next meeting of the group will

ory will be discussed. . All students

The Entertainment Committee is
completing negotiations for the final
numbers to be presented on the year's
program. At . a meeting of the com
mittee the programs of Gina Pinnera,
one of the world's greatest sopranos,
and Ronny Johanson, internationally
known Swedish dancer, we're approved
by the committee as finishing touches
of the year's entertainment program.
By very excellent management the
committee has bargained with the
representatives of the different stars
and personalities hat have and are
to appear before the University
audience so that for th'e three dollars
each Arts and Education student pays
for the entire,' bill is really buying a
conservative estimate of at least
$23.50 worth of entertainment. ; .
The committee has had to' work
blindly this year, not having any evi
dence of what thestudents would pre
fer to guide them in their selection of
numbers to make up the year's pro
gram. The inclusion, of lectures on
the list of events was hesitantly
made. The.members of the committee
were very agreeably , surprised bver
the fact -that Sherwood Anderson at
his recent lecture drew an audience
of about 11,00 persons. , '
During "the winter 'quarter Count
Von Luckner, famed war hero and
author of Tike Sea Devil, will lecture

; Richard Halliburton, the dashing,
romantic specialist in stunts and
author of The Glorious Adventure and
other books will: speak April 13 on
the general subject of his many ad
ventures. Ronny Johanson, beautiful
and talented exponent . of the terpsi
chorean art, will probably appear
here in May to regale ' the lagging
student spirits before graduation. Be
fore this event, however, Gina " Pin
nera, who has at times been associat
ed with ; the greatest opera companies
of the world, will singf or the sub

sometime in April. -
According to announcements re

It is expected tha.t a number of the
faculty and student body will attend
the entire series of performances by
this company when it appears in
Greensboro, and, in. view of this fact,
blanks are available at the business
office of . the Music department in
Person Hall for the use of those who
wish to. reserve their seats for these (
performances immediately. The seat

A good historian must be zealous
in. getting at the truth," declared Dr.
Caldwell in an address which he de
livered to the. Debate Class Thursday
rnght in 201 Murphy. Dr. Caldwell
attempted to make "the class under
stand the""methods which a historian
uses in arriving at conclusions. He
explained the behavior of the historio
logicaj mind in theJresence of facts
The speaker emphasized, the fact
that the historian cannot prophesy, for
his field is always the past. He was
of the opinion, also, that one must
have the ability to discern the rela
tive importance of items in order to
be a good historian. . .
. .. - -
"The first obligation resting upon
the historian is to get all of the facts,"
asserted Dr. Caldwell. He called at
tention to the fact that the historian
must ; be careful in selecting his
material, for many documents are
forgecL Therefore, he declared, a good
historian always" tests the genuine
ness 'of the authorship of his material
and makes certain that the document
is in accord with the original. The
speaker cited, examples of interpola
tions in ancient documents, in some
cases whole paragraphs : and. even
several paragraphs have been insert
ed.': ; . ' "'
Dr. Caldwell was of the opinion that
the .most difficult problem of the
historian , is that of determining the
meaning of ancient .documents. v He
stressed the truth that it is not al
ways safe to go by translation en
tirely, for changes in . the meaning of
words often cause . a corresponding
change in the thought of the transla
tion. The student of history , should
always study the circumstances under
which a given article, was written, for
persons have- often written things
under.thfeat. ' This fact, he declared
constitutes a continual menace to the
historian. ...
Dr. Caldwell stressed the much
spoken of contention that historians
should treat facts as facts in every
case, being sureto guard against as
suming a literary style at the expense
of the literal truth. "The everpresent
task of the historian is that of classi
fying his materal and being objec
tive in his search for what actually

square miles, and, it includes some of
the- most attractive mountain scenery
to be found anywhere in the Eastern
part of the United States. The mas
sive white Medina, sandstones cap
many of the higher ridges. In places
this sandstone rises vertically as a
great wall more than two hundred feet
m height. In this region also the
Paleozoic sediments are many times
repeated in outcrop, due to the great
amount of earth ; crustal folding
Some of the larger mountains are
great undisected canoe-shaped, arch-
liijj xoias anxicnnes;, wmie otners
are either the resistant axial portions
of canoe-shaped trough folds (syn
clines), or the bevelled edgesof highly
tilled - resistant strata, usually sand
stone. v, The valleys are made chiefly
by stream action in the. softer shales
and with limestones.
. The rocks exposed in. Pendleton
county are of sedimentary character,
xviiivu viiivj. x jr in ixxv wean uuiiiig
Paleozoic time, and have a thickness
of more than seventeen thousand
feet. These"rocks have abundant
shells of sea organisms. The geologi
