VOLUME XXXVIII
Chase Make-Appeal to Alumni
In Effort to Increase Funds
State Appropriations Insuffi
cient to Provide for Emer
gencies; Plan for Annual
Giving Sought.
Announcement of a statewide
effort to raise funds from
among the alumni to supplement
state appropriations for the sup
port of the university, which was
made last Sunday night by Presi
dent Harry W. Chase, has been
given wide publicity in the press
all over the state.
The effort, Dr. Chase's an
nouncement stated, will be di
rected toward stimulating a sys
tematic plan of annual giving.
The undertaking, designed as
the Alumni Loyalty -Fund and
directed and supervised by a
loyalty fund council of 12 alum
ni, concerns itself with two ob
jectives, the announcement
stated. In the first place, it
seeks large gifts for special
equipment and endowments and,
secondly, many smaller gifts
from many individuals. It is
planned that these gifts, partic
. ularly the .smaller . ones, shall
build up flexible reserve funds
to provide for emergency main
tenance purposes and to supple
ment income from the state.
It is the second of the two ob
jectives which will concern the
loyalty fund council in the im
mediate future. A plan is now
worked out whereby all Univer
sity alumni are to be asked to
give something to their alma
mater every year, much after
the fashion of their annual gifts
to their church, their club, and
other philanthropies. It was
pointed out by Dr. Chase that
such a plan will not work a hard
ship on any alumnus, yet 'these
combined gifts,, even though not
large, will aggregate a total
which will materially strength
en the university in its service
to the educational life , of the
state.
Dr. Chase's announcement
, said that complete details as to
procedure of the appeal would
be announced within a very few
days. '
Dr. Chasl , ( emphasized the
-fact that the alumni loyalty
fund will not become-the chief
support of the university, but

DR. CARL TAYLOR
DELIVERS SERMON
Dr. Carl C. Taylor, dean of
the graduate school of State col
lege, preached the sermon Sun
day morning at 11 at the United
church (Christian Congrega
tional) on Cameron avenue.
Dr. Taylor, whose v subject
was "Religious Certitude in an
Age of Doubt," chose as his text
John 8:21-32. The verse that
he preached on . was "And ye
shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free,"
(John 8:32). "7 " : "
"Religion,", said Dr. Taylor,
"is a reality something that
really exists in the lives of men,
and any one who denies it or
disregards it is blind to the world
in which he lives. The function
of religion," continued Dr. Tay
lor, "is to teach persons to un
derstand life, and to help them
set up ultimate goals for their
life."
In closing Dr. Taylor said,
"Doubt is the first step toward
real certitude, for this doubt
will lead to anxiety and anxiety
will lead to seeking for the truth.
Many men, some calling them
selves Christians, do not test
Jesus and test his way of life.
They are certain of him. They
fail to test his way of life and
to believe in some of his great
truths." '

CHAPEL HELL, N. C TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1929
DEBATE COUNCIL
TO HOLD 9 B1EETS
President Williams Says Inter
est in Speaking Reviving
at University.
(By J. C. Williams)
All indications arising from
present forensic conditions at
the University of North Caro
lina point to a successful sea
son in that phase of extra-curricular
activity.
Greater interest is being
shown in r intercollegiate debat
ing than usual. Fifty-nine can
didates, including two co-eds,
reported for membership in the
debate squad at the organiza
tion meeting held Thursday
night in 201 Murphey. This
represents a twenty-five per
cent, increase in membership
over last yfear's squad. Eight
of the fiftyfiine have represent
ed the University in other years
and are wearers of the gold
monogram. Among the new
comers are several with debat
ing records behind them which
are worthy of consideration.
The winners of the Aycock me
morial cup last year are mem
bers of the squad. Three ex
Mars Hill debaters reported for
the organization meeting, and
there are three more on the Hill
who are expected to join later.
In addition to these, there are
a numbed of former high school
speakers who, although they did
not win the coveted Aycock
cup, have had considerable ex
perience. The two co-eds also
participated in the forensic
game before coming to Carolina.
With the present squad enrol
ment exceeding even the fond
est expectations, competition
for places on the various teams
this season is expected to be
keen. Approximately fifteen
debaters will be used in the
course of the collegiate year.
The first debate of the year
is expected to be a dual contest
with N. C. C. W., or a triangu
lar affair including N. C. State
College. Such a proposition has
already been presented to the
Speaker's Club of N. C. C. W.,
and that organization has noti
fied the Debate Council of the
University that the suggestion
has met its hearty approval.
The proposition now awaits the
approval of Dr. Foust, president
of the college. At the next
meeting of the debate squad,
Thursday night at 7:30 in 201
Murphey, something definite
about the matter will be known,

ORCHESTRA FACES
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Rehearsal to Be Held Tonight
in Person Hall.
The university orchestra will
meet for organization and re
hearsal tonight at 7xo'clock in
Person hall. Professor T. S.
McCorkle, director of the orches
tra, invites all students and fac
ulty members who have had ex
perience in playing orchestral
instruments to join the organ
ization. In the past the orchestra per
sonnel has been composed of
about equal division of faculty
members and students. This
year the indications are that the
students will outnumber the fac
ulty. The organization should
be much larger this year than
ever before, in view of the new
material that has presented it
self to the director. The orches
tra has approached the propor
tions of the little symphony in
pajt seasons, but there has al
ways been a shortage of strings.
As in the past, the organiza
tion will study various standard
symphonies, overtures, and con
cert pieces from the best field
of orchestral literature. It ap
pears also that for the first time
in the history of the organiza
tion, it will be possible to ar
range a concert tour away from
Chapel Hill. Many invitations
have come to the orchestra from
time to time, but they have had
to be declined. It is practically
certainy thoughr that certain ar
rangements can be accepted this
season.
The orchestra last year num-j
bered 38 players. It is hoped
that the number this year will
be 50 or 60. The instrumenta
tion has .been almost entirely
completed, making possible the
playing of the best type of sym
phonic music.
2615 Students Here

That the registration of stu
dents this fall may surpass the

The registration in the gradu
ate school was 210, the largest

HISTORY STUDENT
FAINTS ON CLASS
(By Milt Wood)
It might have been the humid
ity, it might have been from nat
ural causes, but many believe
that the term assignment was to
blame. ' ;
At any rate, after Professor
Frank Graham had made the
term assignment including a
2,000-word thesis and 100 pages
of collateral reading per week,
B. W. Roberts, junior, fainted
and was revived only after sev
eral minutes yesterday morning.
Fellow students in the class
carried Roberts out of the room
to an adjoining office and ad
ministered first aid until a phy
sician reached the spot. He was
later taken to ' the infirmary
where he is reported to be weak
but recovering.
Two physicians were sum
moned by telephone and students
were sent out on the campus to
look for others, so that four doc
tors appeared on the seen e at
the same time.
Roberts fainted at 11 :12 a. m.,
shortly after the class in history
7 had taken up. Professor Gra
ham had just finished outlining
on the blackboard what he ex
pected students to do during the
term, when Roberts fell over on
his left side, his arms stiffened
and his face went pale. It was
at first believed that he had suf
fered a heart attack.
Other students in the class al
though not visibly affected by
the assignment of work outlined
by Prof essor Graham, fared bet
ter than Roberts. The class was
not resumed during the period.
STUDENTS SLOW TO
REDEEM Y PLEDGES
With Y. M. C. A. pledges col
lected from only half the student
body, Harry F. Comer, general
secretary of the Y. M. C. A.,
yesterday morning was consider
ing sending boys through the
dormitories to collect pledges.
The number of men coming to
the business office in South build
ing has been growing smaller
each day, until yesterday only
one man appeared during the
whole morning. Mr. Comer
wishes to call the attention of
the campus to this failure to re
deem pledges made at registra
tion, which is probably due en
tirely to neglect.
The amountcollected up to 12
o'clock yesterday was approxi
mately $1,200.
Phi Assembly Plans
Smoker for Tonight
The second meeting for this
quarter of the Phi society will
be held in the regular meeting
place tonight at 7:15 o'clock. At
this time all new men and old

the doors of the society will be
open for the receiving of new
members. Immediately after
the meeting there will be a smok
er for both the old and new
members of the society.

Farris Announces
Pending Election
In chapel Monday morning the
matter of electing a cheerleader
was called to the attention of
the student body by President
Ray Farris.
Farris announced that nom
inations for the office of cheer
leader would be held in chapel
Tuesday morning and that elec
tion would take place on Wednes
day. He added also that the
election would be by ballot, and
not by mass vote as previous an
nouncements had stated.
In a short statement in chap
el Farris asked that the students
consider the qualifications of
each nominee and the endeavor
to elect the most able man. Com
menting later, he said, "I hope
very much that the student body
will come out and vote in the
election of a cheerleader. The
position is one of the most im
portant on the campus."
In order to acquaint the stu
dent body with some of the men
interested in the office of cheer
leader, Farris called to the plat
form those students who assist
ed in leading the cheering Sat
urday. They are as follows :
Ashley Penn, George Biggs,
Lloyd Bass, Allen Crowsen,
Paul Carter, Sam Glaberson,
George Brown and Jack Barret.
Farris then gave these men
an opportunity to show their re
sourcefulness and ability by
turning the remainder of the
chapel exercise over to them.
