DAILY 'TAR HEEL STAFF CONFERENCE Editors, 7 :00 ; Reporters, 7:15 VOLUME XXXIX LARGE AMOUNT SUBSCRIBED TO , LOYALTY FUND Total Collections For Past Week Are Even Greater Than Those of Past Year. The end of the first week of the J930 appeal of the alumni loyalty fund has witnessed a larger number of subscriptions and a larger total of money than was received during the entire of f last year, according to infor mation given out yesterday af ternoon from the office of Felix A. Grisette, director of-, the fund. Although it was impossible to announce the exact totals, the response for the first week was better than the most optimisic predictions had estimated. The most surprising of all the de velopments to date is the fact that the so-called economic de pression is having no ill effects on the number of alumni who are giving and very little effect on the amounts of their gifts. The organization set-up of the appeal this year is different from that of previous years. The work of the fund is brought to the attention of alumni through a chairman for each class' and also through commit teemen who have been organiz ed in every county throughout the State. The class chairman work through correspondence, and the local committeemen person ally solicit the alumni who live in their, community. 'The class representatives work exclusive ly with the members of their class irrespective of their re sidence, whereas the local com mitteemen are concerned with the men who reside in the same town, irrespective of their class affiliation. The individual alumnus is thus approached by two different representatives of the fund.

In Art; Praises Modern School "America is now passing through the golden age of its art," says Mr. William Steene, the prominent artist of the Chapel Hill community. "Up until the last ten or twelve years there have never been any characteristics peculiar to American art alone. The old masters, Stuart, Walker, Whist ler, and their contemporaries and followers, studied under the English and German group of portrait painters. In England, they were influenced by Rey nolds and Gainsborough, and in Germany by the Duseldorf Group. Even though Whistler did unusual work, he can hardly be classed as an American artist, and certainly his work embodies none of the American charac teristics. "In the last few years, how ever, there has grown up an American school of realists that are as individual in their work as the Italian school was in its, or the Pre-Raphaelites were in theirs. Their art is representa tive of the people of the United States; it is colorful, realistic, big; and possesses a dash that is all its own. "The south has always tended to use its brains, and shy off of anything that pertained to the use of the lands, but in recent years there has been a breaking Y Announcement President Ed Hainer of the Y announces that the fresh man friendship council and the sophomore and junior senior cabinets will meet at 7 o'clock Monday night in stead of at 7:15 as in the past. All men interested in Y work are invited to attend. RECITAL TICKETS MAYBE APPLIED FOR TOMORROW Beginning Monday morning, all who plan to attend one of the dedication concerts for the Uni versity organ in Music hall will have the opportunity to fill out an r application, Application blanks will be found at Eubanks Drug Co., Pritcliard-Lloyd Drug Co., University Book and Stationery Co., Students Sup ply pt ore, Book Exchange, and the Music Department office. It should be noted that an ap plication must be filled out for each ticket desired. If the ap plicant desires the ticket mailed to him, the application should be mailed to the department of music, box 609, inclosing a self addressed, stamped envelope. This procedure is not necessary in the cases of faculty appli cants, 7 to whom tickets will be delivered direct through the inter-office mail. At a place an nounced later, non-faculty ap plicants from Chapel Hill may claim their tickets. Since the auditorium has a - "V - - capacity of about 800, the dedi cation concert will be given twlceTand ' possibly three times. Applications will be filed in the order of their receipt, and the tickets issued by number. A ticket is good only on the night for which it is issued.

This interest has also been aid ed by the formation of art clubs, for example the newly organized one at U. N. C. "In speaking of the growing attention that is being paid to art in America, one' must men tion the work of the modernistic school. There are in this coun try several outstanding painters of this group. Although this school may not be producing any masterpieces, it is certain that they are attracting a great deal of attention to themselves, and consequently to the art world in general. Their work is some thing new, and that is' what the world is looking for. "The United States js passing through the most prosperous stage of its history, and there fore its citizens have more time to give to the fine arts; so a voung artist of talent does not have to go through the poverty that once attended the novices in that profession. This means that men of ability can afford to give their whole time to this profession. "Besides this, there is a great deal of very excellent work being (Continued on page two) . CHAPEL HILL, N. C SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1930 ABBOTT ACTS AS - TYVPJM A TWIT? MTV University Law Student Appears In Local, Recorder's Court Saturday Morning.

He was required to give a $100 peace bond guaranteeing good behavior for six months.

However, in the sec ond, he had driven a car while he was in an intoxicated state, so the suspended sentence of six months automatically went into effect. He was also given four months on the road on the sec ond charge. The terms will run concurrently. r COUNTRY CLUB GIVES SUPPER On Friday evening, October 3, at 7 :00 o'clock, a supper was served in the Country Club house to about 150 members and guests of the club.

It was announced that the club house will be open from 3:30 to 5:30 each week day af ternoon, with a hostess present to entertain members who may come in.

The convocation of the grad uate school took place Friday night in Smith " Building. A large crowd attended and both faculty and student body were well represented. ' The program began, with a speech by Mr. Donald Coney, as sistant librarian, who talked of the V s the library offers to the g .. 4ate student. In the course of " his discussion he brought put a most interesting fact concerning the library. The University library and certain others throughout the country have a system by which they ex change books among themselves. A student can turn in the name of a book and if it is not in the library here it will be secured from one of the other libraries. Dr. W. W. Pier son spoke next and outlined the growth of the graduate school since its reor ganization under Dr. E. M. Greenlaw. He brought out the fact that the University . of North Carolina was the first southern university to 'be elect ed to the Association of Ameri can Universities which is the old est group in the United States that works toward the highest standards of education. In outlining the functions of the graduate school, Dr. Pierson set forth two points. One func tion of the school: is research, without which, there can be no intelligent progress, and the other duty is to prepare skilled educators and send them out in to the world. President Frank Graham, who was to talk, was not able to attencl the meeting. A short business meeting of the graduate club and the serv ing of refreshehts brought the convocation to an end. The King's Daughters Charitable Organization Prepares to Make Appear for Funds The King's Daughters, wTho not only carry on their own work for the relief of suffering, but also serve as the official charity wing of the town govern ment, are preparing to make their annual appeal for funds. This is not one of those high powered spectacular campaigns like the "drives" of war time. It is a quiet and orderly appeal to the community to give aid to the unfortunate. All contribu tions, large or small, are grate fully received. Mayor Council and Town Manager Foushee issued a joint statement yesterday urging the public to respond to the ap peal. "The King's Daughters are doing splendid work," they said, "and we urge all citizens to help it along. The municipality refers to the King's Daughters many cases of poverty and ill ness, and these are always pro perly investigated'; and of course there are many other cases which the organization attends to on its own initiative. Contri butors can be sure that the money they give will be used where it is really heeded." Miss Annie Bell Durham is the treasurer.

Carolina Magazine Editor Announces Change of Policy According to the editor of the Carolina Magazine, the pub lication will come out this year on Tuesdays instad of on Sun day, as was done last year. J Be cause of the fact that many of the students are away on week-ends, it is felt that the magazine will be more widely read if it , is published on a week day. The Christian Printing Co., of Durham, is printing the Carolina Magazine this year and the editor states that the gen eral appearance of the publica tion will be much better this year than ever before. The first issue will have f ew er book reviews, and poems, the pages gained to be taken up with short stories and essays.'

By Elise Roberts The place of the newspaper in community life has become so much of an intricate part of that community's life that the strict analysis of its place is al most forgotten in the everyday occurrence. Louis M. Brooks, member of the University sociology depart ment, comments upon two phases of its work, namely its positive and negative value. The fact that the paper ap pears every morning at one's breakfast table or may be found awaiting in the porch in the evening is accepted. The day when there was a doubt of a newspaper's success because one paper was considered enough .for the American colonies has long ago been forgotten. Now it is a question of its relative value, positively or negatively. "The positive value that the press has done for the ... small village of Ocracoke on the coast of North Carolina may be seen in- the obtaining of a physician for that community not so long ago," said Mr. Brooks. "For several years there was an in teresting character who served as doctor, family comforter, et al. He was supported partially by the government. After his death there was no physician or medical resources for some times. About August, 1929, NUMBER 15 NOTED GERMAN ECOMflST TO LECTURE HERE Professor Bonn Will Speak Here On Economics and Politics In Modern Germany,' The Department of Econo mics and Commerce announces a lecture on Thursday, October 16th by Dr. M. J. Bonn, Pro fessor Economics and Director of the Institute of Finance at the Handelshochschule in Ber lin. Professor Bonn is an inter nationally famous lecturer and author; an authority on import ant world problems, especially reparations and international loans,' modern capitalism, Pan European problems, and mod ern democracy. The subject of his lecture, Economics and Poli tics in Modern Germany, is one of especial interest at this time, when political developments are moving so rapidly in Germany. These movements, which were reflected in the recent election, are of world-wide interest and importance; so it will be an ex ceptional opportunity to hear them discussed by such a student as Professor Bonn. Professor Bonn has had un usually broad experience in practical politics and economics. He acted as economic expert at Versailles in 1919, and in -the same capacity at Spa, Brussels, and Genoa in 1920-21. He is a member of the international Gold Commission of the League of Nations, and a member of the AdvisorylCommjttee of 4he American Academy of Political and Social Science. Since 1914, Dr. Bonn has often lectured in this country.- He has twice act ed as leader of a Round-Table at the Williamstown Institute of Politics, and has given spec ial series of lectures at the Uni versities of Wisconsin, Califor nia, Cornell, and Laland Stan ford. He is a member of the Administrative Board of the (Continued on page two) the North Carolina press began printing stories about the pecu liar situation at this isolated point on the coast. . So much interest was taken throughout the country that by December a qualified physician was ob tained and supported by the gov ernment there. This is certain ly a notable example of what publicity of true conditions by the press can do." "On the otherhand the press has been used especially by feat ure writers to express an idea picturesquely rather than truth fully. One interesting incident in this is when a young lady was invited to visit in a small and picturesque community.. She was given every opportun ity to see the place as it was. Sometime later after her return home the feature story came put. Nearly every point was brought out in the story was er- roneus, , She had written around one or two freaks, which ' any community is prone to have, a number of generalities as the typical conditions of the village. , True it was small, a pictures que place, but there were a majority of educated people there who resented bitterly her treatment, of their hospitality." "It is such writer," said Mr. Brooks that" makes people wary of anyone who even has the sem blence of a, reporter.
