' ' " '. University Prof Is Contributor toMap j Recently the West Virginia" Geologi cal purvey published a "Geological Report and Map pfPendIetori County, West Virginia," of whch ' Prof essor W.1F. Prouty of the Department of Geology in the University of North Carolina is a co-author. Almost all of the map -work is a result of Dr Prouty's individual efforts. ; ' The area studied and .mapped in this report is approximately one "thousand square miles, and it includes some of the most attractive mountain scenery to be found" anywhere in the eastern 'part of the United States. In many parts of Pendleton County massive white Medina sandstones cap many of the higher ridges. In places this sandstone rises vertically, to form a great wall -more than two hundred feet in height. In, this same region, also, the Paleozoic sediments are many times repeated in outcrop, due to the great amount of earth crustal folding which took place during Paleozoic time. Some of the larger mountains are great undisected canoe-shaped, arching folds (anti clines); while others are either the resistant axial portions of canoe- .shaped trough folds (synclines), or the bevelled edges of highly-tilled resistant strata, usually sandstone. In this region the valleys are-made chiefly by stream action in the softer shales and with limestones. This is the fourth geological re port to i be published Jby: the , West Virginia Geological Survey In the last four years in which Dr. Prouty has been a principal contributor.

TEXAS DEBATERS WINOVER HEELS Held in Celebration of Texas In dependence Day; Small Audi ence Hears Argument. UNIVERSITY BAND GIVES iXGELLENT PROGRAM SUNDAY Most Difficult Selections Played With Ease and Perfection of Professionals. s In a rather listless debate on 'the proposition that the United States should join the "World Court without reservations, the "debaters from - the University of Texas won -the decision of the audience, 23 to 8, in a contest with the Carolina debaters in Gerrard Sail Saturday night. Only a small audience heard the contest. .The de bate was held in celebration of the Texas Independence Day and came after the supper of -the North Caro- ina Texas club. Professor , Carlton C. Rice of Catawba college,' president of the Texas club, presided. Arthur Sandlin of Texas opened he argument for the affirmative with a strong appeal for the World Court on the grounds that it would insure world peace. He showed that it would be in keeping with American policy of ' hundreds of years to en courage peace, and would be a great step toward making the world safer A or democracy. He drew an analogy between the wars, and the old time duels of the "west. Law stepped in and stopped the duels ; the world court would do the same things for in- ernational wars. It would guarantee at least a. fifty per cent insurance against 'war," he contended and plead that it would be' worth-America's ime to take this step. In the opening the argument for the negative R. B. Fisher, of the class of '31 ouotlining the case for the nega tive, showed that the "World Court could not prevent wars and therefore it would be useless for America to joinvit. He described the sentiment in favor of the' Court in America to day as due to the efforts of scheming American f inanciers who would make much money by our adherence to the court. In short, he stated, it would be an idle and useless step for America rto take as she could gain little for peace and it would involve her in the disputes vand jealousies of Europe. He would rather that we stay out. Closing the plea for the affirma tive, .Fxank D. Stubbeman took the stand that whatever the consequences America should go into the court be cause of the good it would do toward promoting peace. He told of the hor rors of the next war, if there should be one. He attributed the negatives' objection to a lack of understanding of the query and to superficiality. E. L. Haywood, '3,1, continued the case for the negative- and showed where America, would be entering a court tHat is founded on principles op posed to ' American ' practice. 'A back door entrance to the League of Nations' was all he could see that would come put of our going into the court. . ' The rebuttals were somewhat live lier than the main speeches,' but Texas seemed io have the edge throughout in their interpretation of the question and in their humorous jabs at the negative. s- A number of high school -students from Greensboro and elsewhere who are debating the same question in their annual triangle debate were present. Reorganization Is Subject of Assembly What should prove a very interest ing meeting will be the convening of the Philanthropic Assembly tonight, when" the topic of discussion will be whether .the Di and Phi should be re organized. The' Assembly will gather as usual in its hall in New East, at seven-fifteen. N - The resolution is a timely one, as the organization has come in for. its share of criticism on the lines of, un progressiveness. Representatives of the Assembly will thrash ' put ; the matter tonight, and ' have prepared for one of the liveliest programs of the year. V By DONALD WOOD The University of North Carolina Band, under the direction' of T. Smith McCorkle, appeared in concert Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in Memorial Hall as the fourth in the ! current series of Sunday afternoon programs held regularly on the first '- Sunday of each month. - About five hundred people attended the concert, and all were very well satisfied with the pro gram. . Opening their program with Rossini's Overture, La Donna del Lago, the splendid trumpet section of the band came immediately into prominence. The harmony of the in struments was very good, the piece was well played, and those who wor ship overtures applauded the number heartily. Rollinson's Sea Flower Polka "was excellent. Charles Has f ord White, student director of the band and cornet soloist, was given the leading role in this selection, and he played even the most difficult parts of the piece with the ease nd per fection of a professional. Going through the different movements of the number, the band kept good time with him, and, as a') whole, the num ber went off the- smoothest of any on the vprogra,m: ; , The third selection was the Har- r-v . i Ti monia uverture Dy iaiusKaj. it was true to iorm-ot oemga long orchestral jcpmposition finishing up in one grand finale of harmony. The clarinet section threatened to throw the rest of the players out of time in one or two places, but as a whole the piece went over well.

The most comprehensive study of North Carolina county ' government yet to bettempted has just been brought out by the University Press here in a 434-page volume by Dr. Paul Wager, . of the University De partment of Rural-Social Economics. Few adequate studies ' of county government have .been attempted; and Dr. Wager's book is regarded as ful filling a. long-standing need foi? a volume to acquaint the public with prevailing conditions in county ad ministration, explain cause and pur pose of recent legislation, and sug gest further improvements.. The work is concerned chiefly, of course, with North Carolina county Administration. But, withJLts analy sis of county-administration, of ad vantages and abuses, it has a wider message for people everywhere who wish to understand the significance of local government in a democracy. Development, present practice and organization, and outstanding needs of county government are taken up alike. Dr." Wager made long and in tensive research before compiling the volume and had for reference the 43 field surveys of counties in the state done by the University Institute for Research in Social Science.
