Stray Collie Fails To Find Hospitality In Quadrangle (By Stanley Weinberg) A medium-sized white collie .arrived on the campus last week. Large, dirty brown areas on his head and side proclaimed his col lie blood, but the collie was evi dently only one of many breeds that had flowered into this home less'specimen of Orange county doghood. : v Perhaps the newcomer did not get on well with the other Carolina dogs; perhaps the others had neglected T;o plan an .orientation program for' him. Anyway, after two or three days ron the campus, the collie had not yet made any dog friends or learned the ropes of Chapel Hill dogdom. In the evenings he generally hung around the dorms in the easternmost quadrangle ; he even tried to crash several rooms on 'the first floor of "I" dorm. The dog had . to be pushed and dragged out of two rooms before he learned that "I". dorm, for some strange reason, would riot lodge brown arid "white collie flogs, of uncertain ancestry. That discour'cpd him.. Satur day evening he shook the dust of the unhospitable quad from his hind legs and headed for the main campus.- No one knows where he got his supper, but at 8 o'clock he decided it was bed time. So he trotted up the li brary steps, sniffed the mats lying before the dpors, pondered, ana nnally decided the mat at the right was the most comfort able. He curled up on the mat, put his head where the light would not shine on it, and calmly went to sleep. Students going to the library after supper found him there. As they came up the steps and saw the dog sleeping, many of them lowered their voices. Some, about to -enter the library through the right door, saw that they would disturb him, and turned to go through one of the ; other doors. None of them woke the sleeping dog. - At 10 o'clock, when the library closed, the departing . students saw the collie still there asleep. As they "walked carefully by, they wished him a good night and pleasant dreams. , ' was. made to apply to the cam pus by the Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen at the request of Uni versity officials. The ordinance reads as y fol lows : " Ordinance Regulating Parking Town of Chapel Hill Passed June 13, 1927: BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE -TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL: SECTION 1: That no motor vehicle , shall be - parked on the north side of, Cameron Avenue from Columbia Street to Raleigh Street.

ETHICS SUBJECT OF CHAPEL TALK Professor Emphasizes Iiripor tance of Honesty As A Trait. T Professor Horace Williams spoke to the sophomores in their first chapel meeting in Ger rard hall Monday morning. Touching in a general way upon the subject of ethics, Professor Williams emphasized the impor tance of honesty as a trait of a, noble character. Professor Williams began his speech with a unique illustra tion. He wrote on a black board two figure 7's and then asked the sophomores what re sult he would obtain by- bring ing two together. He received the answers 49, 14, 1, and 0. Professor Williams admitted that any of the answers might be taken as correct, but he pointed out that this was the on ly possibility of variation in the process. The two figures must remain exactly the same. Professor Williams deplored certain indications of the preva lent laxity in honesty. He men tioned the fact that in the last eight years five thousand banks in the United States have failed as a result of dishonesty. He said, also, that one of his classes had been willing to agree that there was not Second Student Entertainment Wifl Be Held Here Thursday In Tin Can. The Jean Grd3 French Mari onettes who : are to appear at the Tin Can on Thursday, No vember 21, under the auspices of the student entertainment committee, represent the most complete marionette theatre in the world. Two performances are to be given, a special mat inee for children ,and a regu- lugut, perxormance ior auUltS. In the afternoon, "Uncle Wig ley at the Circus," a play by Howard R. Garis, will be pre sented while "Skippy," by Percy Crosby, will be given at night. Until a few years ago mari onettes were presented on very small stages ranging from six to ten feet. The puppets were very small, generally about 12 to 18 inches high. The result was that for years the marion ettes mad appearances only in che vaudeville theatres 'where - - - . . , . . . they were looked upon as a nov elty that could be enjoyed for a period of a few minutes. In the past seven or eight years a number of companies have attempted to enlarge the idea of presentation, but it was not until Jean Gros hravplv started a tour with his stage that . . I A A aft a. covers aooutbu leet of space that the American public was able to realize that marionettes could be taken seriously as an integral part of the theatre and capable of presenting truly great plays with effectiveness. Whereas other companies have carried up to two thousand pounds of baggage these French puppeteers have an equipment of over four thousand pounds, representing a complete minia ture theatre, miniature, how ever, only in the fact that the equipment is set ' upon another stage. Intricate lighting effects, backdrops," wings, curtains of a single absolute ly truthful man in the Universi- ty. Professor Williams told every description, famous trans- men ne naa Known who would formation scenes and over 150 not lie and lamented the lack puppets are carried Ol such strong individuals today. Professor "Williams holds that it is not enough for a man to be honest most .of the time. Such a character is not dependable. Complete and persevering hon esty is a necessary attribute of any character that stands out, and it is such individuals that the world of today needs.
