STUHLBIAN TALKS
ABOUT HUIfUDITY
Director of U. S. Liar in e Band
Plays a Great Part In Our Gen
eral Health and Comfort,
He Says.
Humidity plays a great part
in our general health and com
fort, according to Dr. Otto
Stuhlman, head of the physics
department, and the humidity of
a room is a sure index of the
comfort in the room. A person
coming indoors from wet weath
er will at once feel a' change in
a steam heated room. Whereas
the air outside is seemingly drip
ping with moisture, the air in
side is usually' very dry. This
dry air causes the pores to open
resulting in colds, catarrah,
headaches and other ailments.
iHeat from the radiator in
creases the capacity of the air
in the room for water vapor.

people of America are inherent
ly musical. According to Capt.
Branson,, the audiences of Eu
rope are more responsive to the
music of the masters because
they were "raised on it," so td

try, and its people up to re
cent years had little time for
the arts. But it is because they

moisture must be satisfied in
order that living conditions may
be maintained at their best.
A lack of moisture in a room
will cause a person to feel cold
er and need more unnecessary
heat to give the effect of warmth.
But were a sufficient amount of
moisture to be introduced into
the room less heat would i be
needed, and the result would
tend to better health and effect
a saving on the family coal bill.
Steam up to a temperature of
72 degrees Fahrenheit has a rel
ative humidity as low as 23 per
cent which is as dry as Death
Vallev. To remedy this evil
vapor must be admitted into the
air to raise the humidity to at
least 65 percent. This can be
done by the evaporation of water
at the boiler and can best be
introduced by means of a hot air
furnace.
The conclusion is obvious in
that, by increasing the humidity,
a proportional amount of coal is
saved; and the whole result is
a more economical, more health-

Branson, that Americans are

It is also dueHo the fact, says
this famous musician, that
music is taught in the public

because -successive -' : Presidents

Carolina Student Stages
Wlim Production Of
Old German Masterpiece

Donald Rujfs, Sophomore Of Wilmington, Gives Unique Presen
r"t. tation Of "Faust"; Remarkable Lighting

(By Milt Wood)
"Faust" in a steamer trunk.
That may serve to iljustrate
how miniature is the production
of the great German master
piece which Donald J. Rulfs,
sophomore, of Wilmington, N.
C, has assembled with his own
hands. One can easily picture
in the mind the settings for
"Faust" on a small scale.
But only by actually seeing
"Rnlfs nroduce "Faust" in his
own unique way can one appre
ciate the inherent artistry of
this University of North Caro
lina student. Because of - his
greater interest, the lighting ef
fects for the five acts are mir
aculous, especially when, day
light fades slowly into darkness
in the garden scene. But more
than this, his stage settings,

his room in Grimes dormitory.
The show started on time, too,
at exactly '7: 15, for Rulfs is not
only precise but- punctual. The
audience of three was seated

his stand behind a table on
which the futuristic stage for

house lights, both of them, one
on either side wall, were dark
ened, and the "crowd" awaited
the curtain. Prior to its rising,
however, Rulfs provided the
proper atmosphere by playing
an overture from "Faust" on his
phonograph, also hidden behind
scenes.
The curtain rose slowly show

dimly lighted room, pondering

The 'meeting of the Dialectic
Senate. Tuesday night in New
West building opened with the
election of the following five
men to membership: Adams,
King, Baretty, Dratler, arid
Hayes.
Senator Simpson, reporting
for .the committee on the Mary
D. Wright Debate, announced
the following query: "Resolved,
That the Hawley-Smoot tariff
bill now pending before the
special" session of the seventy
first congress should be passed
as introduced." The Senator in
formed the group that the Dia
lectic Senate would uphold the
negative side of the '. question
and that the debate would be
in Gerrard hall on the night of
December 10. ,
Reportingvfor the dance com
mittee, Senator McPherson read
a detailed account of the work
of the committee embodying the
following among other things:
1. Admission cards will be
issued to all members of the
senate who have settled with
the treasurer. An assessment
of one dollar will be levied on
each member. 2. All graduate
and professional members may
be admitted upon payment of
the assessment. 3. Members
may be granted an additional
admission card upon payment
of a second assessment. 4. The
dance will be held in the Di
hall on the night of December
6. It will be a formal affair.
After having attended to all
pertinent matters of business,
the senate proceeded to discuss :
Resolved, That southern textile
workers should be organized in
to comnetent. recosmized, and
efficient labor unions."
The vote of the senate on the
measure was a deadlock and was
decided by President Williams in
favor of the affirmative. The
measure, therefore, passed by
one vote.
The main purpose of the
"black list" which the library has
installed within the last few
weeks is to prevent the accumu
lation of large fines on the part
of students, and to encourage
the returning of all books on
time, according to library offi
cials. .
The library has had a black
list before, but it was not ef
fective for it did not check the
accumulation of fines. Under
the new system all names of de
linquent borrowers are visible
simultaneously and the amount
of fines are easily read bjr the
staff.
Fines are not imposed upon
the student for the purpose of
making money for the library.
The money collected from this
source goes into . the general
fund. The fundamental purpose
of fines is to protect the bor
rower who returns his book on
time from the neglectful bor
rower. The old ideas of libraries was
to keep all the books on the
shelves as the library was a
great storehouse. The modern
library is regarded as an agent
employed between the borrower
and the books to keep the vol
umes circulating,
v. In connection with . the old
idea of libraries the following
incident is brought to mind: at
Harvard University a few years
ago, a student met the librarian
and asked him how the library
was getting along. -The libra
rian replied, "all the books are
on the shelves except one, and I
am going out after that one
now.
