LIANY COLLEGIANS ENTER CONTEST
TO Y7IN AN EAGLEROCK 'AIRPLANE
As the greatest development of the
day, aviation has caught the atten
tion of the great American college
student body, to Judge from the heavy
early response received by the Alex
ander Aircraft company concerning
its 1929 aeronautical scholarship con
test : among college undergraduates.
In the first few days following an
nouncement of the contest, inquiries
were received from students of 62
colleges. Indications are that several
thousand students will bid for the
new Eaglerock airplane or the 4
year university scholarships in aero
nautical engineering and ;; business
aeronautics which will be awarded the
winner. Lesser prizes will include
free solo flying courses arid flight
instruction .manuals. ; V -J ;
Co-eds, as eligible as the men, are
showing themselves equally air-
minded. Students with no flying ex
perience, but with ready ideas on
things aeronautics, are competing on
an equal basis with those who have
worked in the new industry.
Such universities as Massachusetts
Institute of " Technology, University
of Michigan, and Stanford Universi
ty, have endorsed the contest. Felix
W. Paylowski, Professor of Aeronau
tical Engineering at Michigan, writes,
"I indeed appreciate the generosity as
well as the wise policy of the Alex
ander Aircraft company which
prompts it to assist the numerous
young and able students who are anx
ious to enter the field of aeronautics,
but who. are handicapped from doing
so because. of lack of sufficient funds
for obtaining proper training in the
fundamentals of this new and fas
cinating profession."

Alpha Psi Delta:
Holds Meeting
Alpha Psi Delta, an honorary fra
ternity, held its regular- monthly
meeting Wednesday evening, January
9, in New West building. This was
the first meeting since November as
the December meeting was postponed
because of the closing of school. The
program planned for the December
meeting was given at this time. In
addition to this, the members who at
tended the session of the American
Psychological Association in New
York City during the vacation gave
reports on the various papers heard,
and discussed the actions of the asso
ciation in business session.
The members who1 attended the
meeting of the A. P. A. were: Dr.
Dashiel, Dr. Crane, Dr. Goudge, Dr.
Jordan, and Messers De Wick, Bay
roff, and Barkley.
Three former Carolina students pre
sented paper's at the meeting. y These
men were: John H. McFaden, now in
structor, in the University of Pitts
burgh; James R. Patrick, Ohio Uni
versity; and W. D. Glenn, of New
York University. Mr. K. L. Barkley,
present instructor in the Department
of Psychology, also presented a
paper. These papers all treated of
experimental work done in the Uni
versity of North Carolina under the
direction of members of the Depart
ment of Psychology. . . . '
A movement was launched at the
meeting of the A. P. A. for the or
ganization of a national psychologi
cal fraternity. Local men are on the
council for handling the organization
proceedings, and the prospects ' are
good for the success of the venture.

At the Carolina
flow does it feel. to be on the brink
of stardom after years of struggling
for a foothold on the ladder of suc
cess? .
"Terrible!"
The answer was supplied by Joan
Crawford, who appears to be just
about to climb the topmost rung to
cinema triumph.
After years of hard work and study
Joan finds herself virtually a star,
playing the featured role in "Dream
of Love," which is at the Carolina
.Theatre today.
"I feel just like a college student
who is about to receive a diploma
that will send him out into the world
as a lawyer, doctor, engineer or quali
fied member of some similar profes
sion," she said.
Tar Babies Defeat
Durham High School
Last Friday . night the Freshman
basketball team opened ifs schedule
by defeating the Durham high school
team sixty to 23. This j showing is
considered especially fine since the
flu prevented the Freshmen from
practicing any at all before the holi
days. However Coach Belding has
worked his team into shape quickly
and has it running smoothly.
Only a few substitutions were tnade
in the game last , week. Jimmy
Moore, former Wilmington high
school star, led the scoring with a
total of nineteen points. Johnny
Green and Sachs at forward played
fine floor games. Hutchison and
Alexander, former Charlotte high
players, were the other members of
the team that started the game.
The complete schedule for the
Freshmen has? not been announced
but in the meantime the coaches are
working hard with the : men every
night and when the real season opens
the Tar Babies can be counted on to
make a fine showing.
Coaches Announce
Basketball Rules
Rev. Llr. Olive
Looked for Bible
But it Was Gone
Some religious-minded thief has
stolen the Bible from the stand
on the rostrum in Memorial Hall.
When Rev. Mr. Olive of the Bap
tist church, who was to. lead the
devotional exercises in Chapel yes
terday, tried to find the Bible, it
was most noticeably missing from
its accustomed place. Then to give
a bit of good advice, Mr. Olive ad
vised all those who have an inclina
tion to steal to take a Bible, for
maybe it will do the person who
takes it some good.
Now that the football season and
the basketball teams of the mem
bers of the Big Five in the state are
being whipped into form, the sub
ject , of cage rules comes up. In an
attempt to avoid argument and fric
tion over doubtful decisions later on
in the season, the North Carolina
Basketball Coaches Association an
nounces that it has decided and agreed
on certain rulings which are likely to
cause argument, " Through the Asso
ciation's president, Gus Tebell, head
basketball coach at State College,
the teams all over North Carolina
have agreed to follow the set rules ap
proved by the body.
Some of the rules which have been
adopted by the coaches are: The pres
sure of air in the ball must be
thirteen pounds; time keepers must
use a signal gun; jump ball rule same
as the national association regula
tions; officials must notify scorers at
time of all substitutions; guarding
and touching, players from the rear
will not be recognized as a foul, when
offending player backs into opponent;
ball out of bounds not to be in play
until signal is given by referee or
until ball has been passed back to
referee.
Strong Wind Causes
Postponement of
Parachute Jump
Plans for the parachute , jump at
the local airport Sunday failed to
materialize. Quite a number of peo
ple were out to; witness the exhibition;
but the wind was so strong that it
was deemed unwise to make the jump.
The officials of the airport, how
ever, have expressed their regrets for
the disappointment, and they are
making arrangements to schedule the
jump for Sunday, January 27. A
new addition to the program will be
a giant Fokker cabin monoplane and
also' some other attractions.
Duke Blue Devils
Turn Fire-Fighters
Not to be, outdone by the fire-fight
ing Chapel Hill Tar Heels the stu
dent3 of Duke .University had a big
fire right on the' edge of their cam
pus about aweek ago.
It was just at the beginning of the
Duke chapel period when two houses
on the street just back of the audi
torium burst into flames. The, Blue
Devils rushed to the scene, and moved
furniture and articles out of about
half of the houses on the street.
According to the last reports they
didn't bother to carry the stuff back
in when , the excitement was over,
A man may be driven to drink,
but to get him away from it he has
to be pulled.

the tentative plans worked out for

around and prepared to beat a hasty

wreaked upon the body of his victim,
have come back to disfigure it still
more? .. ..- .; -
Abruptly the door was jerked open

the fugitives back, however, and
warily they slackened their pace and
looked around. The corpse .was fol

George Washington with extroardi

Gentlemen:- -
Replying to your circular letter of
June 29, be informed that your sample
packages were received. With them
I received the pamphlet "describing
your product, which I was able to
enjoy reading because there was not
in the circular matter the usual dis
tasteful sales talk which makes the
recipient of a sample package feel
.obligated or uncomfortable. .
I believe your practice of giving
your prospect a sample and then
letting him make up, his own mind
will gain you many more customers
than will the usual modern sales prac
tice of pushing the product down the
prospect's throat. As a matter of fact,
since receiving your sample and your
advi-u -'matter I smoked up the
sample package and have since pur
chased a number of cans from neigh
borhood dealers,, all of whom carry
this tobacco in a city of this size.
I have found Edgeworth to be a
satisfactory blend at a very reason
able price, and although my past ac
quaintance is brief, I look forward to a
long membership in the Edgeworth
Club. , Yours very truly,
