The gift of a set of chimes to
the University, presented by
John Motley -Morehead, minister
to 'Sweden, and Rufus Patterson;
both alumni of the tmiversityj
brings "a beautiful addition to
the University community. To
clear up a number of malimpres-
sions about the nature of the
cnimes, Mr. Mor eheao! wrote I a
letter to Louis Graves editor of
the Chapel Hill Weekly, which
is quoted in part :
"The bells at Chapel Hill will
be exact duplicates of those at
West Point, which are said to
be the best ,in the United States
and, like that set, will be hand
operated." Mr. Morehead says that the
bells he and Mr Patterson are
offering :the ; University are
chimes, not a carillon. He ex
plains that a group of from eight
to 13 bells constitute a set of
chimes, while an aggregation
LANIER Km FOR
MLF-ffiLP JOBS
Insufficient Amount of Work
for Needy Students.
According to a statement by
Edwin Lanier, self-help secre
tary df the Y. M. C. A., there is
still some hope f or students de
siring work for the f coming
year to secure jobs.
It is Mr. Lanier's desire that
more townspeople take in self
help students and give them
either room and board, or both,
in return for the students' tak
ing care of the heating system
or doing some other odd jobs
during the winter. The self
help secretary realizes that the
people of Chapel Hill have com
municated with him extensively
in securing jobs for the new
students, and declares that he is
very grateful to them for their
assistance. In view of the num
ber of applications still coming
in for work Lanier asks that the
people make a special effort to
give more students work of some
sort, .'; - . , ;
Mr. Lanier also requests that
any members of the student
body, knowing of some place
where work can be secured for
self-help students please call by
the Y. M. C. A. building as soon
as possible and see him.
For the past ten days or more,
the self-help secretary has been
covering the town in an attempt
to find work. Mr. H. F. Comer,
secretary of the Y. M. CA., has
also done a great deal in trying
to aid the self-help situation.
Anyway the G. O. P. can pat
itself on the back for its efficient
flood control this summer.

There are 13 ' bells in the set

that the bells at Chapel Hill to

In regard to the ringing of
the bells, Mr, l&oreheao! ays
that anyone with musical ability
eiiough to play a tune with one
finger on a piano and enough,
strength to strike the keys forci
bly can operate the chimes. It
is customary in the universities
to organize a group of bell
ringers, headed ' by a"" faculty
member, to play the i bells.
Usually, membership in the bell
ringing association is very much
sought after.
SUMMER SCHOOL
BREAMECORDS
Forty:Third Session Tallies 3,005
Registrants for Both
Periods.
Finishing its forty-third ses
sion with banners flying, the
University of North Carolina
Summer School broke all former
records for attendance and de
grees conferred during the past
season.
Despite the . financial slump
general throughout the state,
the number of enrollments to
taled 3,005, bettering by 900 the
previous high mark of ,656 es
tablished in 1928. This number
shows an increase of fifty; per
cent over the enrollment of the
summer school of 1925, five
years ago.
Also, in contrast to five years
ago, when only 26 degrees were
conferred, 125 students won de
grees during the past session.
kOf this number, 53 degrees were
awarded by the graduate school
of the University.
As when the Summer School
was originated by President
Kemp Battle in 1887 the first
state university summer school
in the country the main incen
tive has been to furnish teach
ers with professional training.
In other respects there is hard
ly any similarity. The first ses
sion in 1887 was overcrowded
with 238 students, a very small
percentage of these being co
eds. This past summer, with
3,005 students enrolled, over
2,000. were co-eds.
The main function of the open
door in China nowadays, is to
provide the missionaries with a
safe exit. Virginian-Pilot.

starting of chapel exercises
for both the freshman and
sophomore classes in Gerrard
Hall. Freshmen will be di
