I ' If1 VOLUME XXXIX MAGAZINE'S LEAD ARTICLE WILL ADVENTURE T Editor Announces New Rule About Staff Members Not Contributing. The fourth regular issue of the Carolina Magazine makes its appearance tomorrow morning. Contained in it are the writings of several first-time contribu tors. In point of format, this number is somewhat different from that of the three - pre ceding ones. One poem and the beginnings of three articles make up the front page. Evoe, the lead article, is a stirring story appearing under , the name of Mary Carr Newby. Jess Slaughter, a former stu dent of the University, makes his bow to the Magazine readers in Close Communion, a tale. In Chloe, George Martin Fieldman has recorded a typical collegiate experience. Philip Liskin, states his own personal views as to the aged conflict between mind and matter in Mind Over Matter. Bob Barnett contributes his second work, a play which he has chosen to name Satan Smiles. S. S. Rosenblum displays his wares in two articles informa tion for which was supplied by his own experience". Poetry for the number was written by James Dawson, Ver non Crook, Stanley Stevens, Evelyn Terry, and Hamp Max well. Book reviews by Beatty Rector, Ralph Wester man, Na 4han Shadebrushf - and Japheth Album, conclude the number. Editor Williams states that the following ruling will go into effect immediately : staff mem bers failing to contribute to two successive issues will be dropped from the staff . DE MOLAY ORDER ORGANIZES HERE Second Meeting Presided Over By Bill Spradlin Draws Thirty. .Thirty members of the newly organized DeMolay order met in their second meeting of the year Thursday night in the lobby of the Y. M. C A. building. The object of this meeting was to ac quaint all of the prospective members with the purpose of the group. Bill Spradlin, temporary chair man, stated -that the Order of DeMolay was not a junior Masonry, as has been generally believed on the campus. "It is, the chairman stated,' "the same type of organization as the old and well-established Masonic Or der, and is art international or ganization for young men of the ages from sixteen to twenty- one According to reports there are quite a few old members of the organization who have not yet affiliated themselves with the new group, and it is the request of the club that these men renew their membership. Harry Gump, master councilor for the state of North Carolina, and Allen S. O'Neal, state deputy, have both given ithe new organization their entire support, and highly rec ommend it to the campus. Mem bership is not secured chiefly by petition, but it is said that rec ommendation as well plays a large part in accepting new members. All who desire further inform ation the matter are asked to see Harry Gump. Didn't Know It Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Nov ember 14.- Barefooted AS ho stood in United States district court here, John Schexnayder, 82 year-old backwoodsman, told Judge Wayne G. Borah yester day he had been making whiskey for 50 years and had never heard of the prohibition law. Schexnayder, who speaks on ly French, pleaded guilty through an interpreter to a charge of manufacturing intoxi cating liquors. Judge Borah placed him on probation for five years. Among other things, the back woodsman said he had not been told the War Between the States had ended. MATH JOURNALS PUBLISH PAPERS BY CAROLINIANS University Professors and In structors Expound Ideas for National Departmental Press. Several interesting and im portant articles by members of the mathematics staff have ap peared recently or will soon ap pear in national mathematical journals. The first paper to appear this year was contributed by L. E. Bush, instructor. in mathematics at the University, now on leave at the Ohio State University to pursue work leading to a Ph. D. degree. This paper, entitled "Oh The 'Expression of An In teger As The Sum of An Arith metic Series," appeared in the American Mathematical Month ly for August. It is concerned with the number of distinct ways in which an integer can be ex pressed as the sum of an arith metic series of integers. It is a generalization of a paper which was written earlier by Mason, in which he considered the number of ways in which an integer can be expressed as the sum of consecutive integers. . Dr. E. T. Browne, associate professor of mathematics, con tributed an article on "The Sep aration Property of The Roots of The Secular Equation" to the October issue of the American Journal of Mathematics. The secular equation was first used by LaPlace ia 1782 in determin ing the secular inequalities of the planets. It is one of the most important equations in mathe matical analysis. In the Octo ber issue of the bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, Professor Browne also had a paper entitled "The Character istic Roots of A Matrix." By a very simple method this paper gives an upper limit to the char acteristic roots of the general algebraic matrix a limit much more restricted than any given heretofore. In an early issue of the American Mathematical Month ly will appear an article on Tr;oc! Trotiafnrmjir.inn or ine V LC o iiaiwiv"" Cubic," written by JJoctors Archibald Henderson and A. W. Hobbs, in collaboration. This paper will give a geometric in terpretation of Vieta's transfor mation of the cubic, a transfor mation by means of which Vieta reduced the solution of all cubics to the solution of one particular type. - Mass Tomorrow Father' Mn'ilanly will say Mass Sunday morning in Ger rard hall at 8:30. CHAPEL HILL, N. C., SATURDAY, NOVE3IBER 15, 1930 BRADSHAW TA n CHARGE IN CHAP Dean Warns Sophomores To Be gin in Selecting Majors and Minors. At sophomore chapel yester day morning, Dean F. F. Brad shaw pointed out to the group two problems upon which they will have to make a decision be tween now and the end of the year. Dean Bradshaw began his re marks with a warning to the class . against procrastination when the two problems were concerned and urged that every sophomore consider these ques tions immediately. The first question discussed was the tact that a number of men would find it difficult in ar ranging to come back to the Uni versity because of finances. "The thing to do now, Dean Bradshaw said, "is not to become discour aged, but to talk difficulties over with your respective deans, or with officials who are always more than willing to offer any advice which they may have, and then to come to a decision." He then mentioned that loans and self-help work is always open to those who apply early enough. , The second problem Dean Bradshaw discussed was one every sophomore must face be fore the end of the year, that of finding a subject which will be his major for graduation. The speaker advised that a subject in the curriculum arous ing the student's keenest inter est and - enthusiasm should be chosen as a major and an allied subject as a minor. He also ad vised that the subject should not be chosen because it appeared to be easy, but because it appealed most to the curiosity of the stu dent. State Forester To Lecture Tomorrow J. S. Holmes, state forester and member of the committee created by the North Carolina Social Service Conference to study the question of highway beautification, will give a free il lustrated lecture on this topic Sunday afternoon at 3:15 o'clock in the Carolina Theatre. This lecture is illustrated with slides, and a motion picture entitled, "What is Happening to Ameri can Landscapes." Photographs taken by Mrs. Lawton in her sur vey last year will also be shown. Holmes will tell of work done by the state in connection with road beautification, and explain how the community of Chapel Hill may aid in this project. He will stress the two most impor tant improvements to be made, namely, J;he removal of adver tising matter from the road sides, and the planting, of trees. To every one who attends will be given a short questionnaire to be filled out before the finish of the lecture and left with the speaker. Episcopal Guild Hostesses at Tea Saint Hilda's Guild of the Episcopal Church will act as hostess for a tea to be given in the parish house-Sunday after noon, November 16, from 4 :30 ,to 6:00 p. m. Miss Alma Holland and Miss Elisabeth Roome wfil pour tea. The following girls will serve: Jocelyn Whedbee, Lucy Fletcher, Elizabeth Webb, Eleanora Hunt, Josephine Park er, Florence Yancey, Martha Norburn, and Myra Lynch. 'SITY HEADS CL0SOESSI0NS Association of Governing Boards Of State Universities Will Meet for Last Time Here This Morning. With the Carolina Inn as headquarters, the Association of Governing Boards of State Uni versities and Allied Institutions has been in progress for the past two days under the manage ment of R. M. Grumman, direc tor of the University of North Carolina extension division. The delegates arrived in Chapel Hill for a one o'clock luncheon at the Inn Thursday, after having inspected Duke University that morning. Their first meeting was at three o'clock Thursday at which time R. B. House, executive secretary of the University, substituted for President Graham in giving the welcome address. The Carolina Playmakers entertained with a guest performance Thursday evening at 8:30. David E. Ross of Lafayette, Indiana, is president of the as sociation. Regular sessions took place from 9:00 to 2:00 o'clock yesterday and at 4:00 o'clock they were conducted on a tour of inspection of the University of North Carolina plant. A compli mentary dinner was given last night at the Inn, with the Board of North Carolina : University trustees as honor guests. The last session was at 9:00 this morning. The delegates will probably leave early, today. Besides the various reports, addresses were made on the fol lowing subjects : "Has a State University a Greater Responsi bility to Its Own State Than to the Nation?"; "Uniformity fin Educational Financial Reports"; "The Administration of Fiscal Control of State Universities and Colleges" ; "Readjustments in University Finances" ; "The j Co-ordination of State Educa tional Institutions" ; and "Co operative Discipline." ENGINEERS HEAR OF LONGEST SPAN At the meeting of the William Cain civil engineering society last , night at 7:30- o'clock in Phillips hall the members saw the motion picture on "Hydro Electric Power Production in the New South." This picture show ed some of the work that is be ing done to harness the water power in the south and utilize it in the form of electrical power. Thomas M. Riddick, Jr., a senior in the engineering school, gave an interesting talk on "The Constructing of the Hart Me morial Bridge." In his talk he described the method of con structing this gigantic structure. The bridge is one and a half miles long spanning the Chowan River near Edentonj N. C. It was built in 1926 by the Sanford and Brook Corporation of Baltimore, Md., at a cost of $700,000, and is said to be the longest in the state of its particular type. Rid dick described. -it as being con structed of a pre-cast concrete piling substructure and a creo soted timber superstructure. The meeting was well afc tended. , . Sigma Xi Meeting Tuesday The botany department will have charge of the meeting of the Sigma Xi next Tuesday night. Dr. W. C. Coker will con tinue his talk on "Some Early American Naturalists." , VE Honored x A Dear CHAxces T ficoXAtfcc Dean McCormick, head of the law school, has been taken into honorary membership in the Dialectic Senate. McCormick has been connected with the Uni versity for the last five years. UNIVERSITY WILL MEET CAMBRIDGE DEBATERS HERE Murrow Completes Arrange ments for Clash Here on December 13. The debate team from the University of Cambridge, Eng land will engage the Carolina debaters here 'December 13 on the question, Resolved : That the emergence of women from the home is a regrettable feature of modern life. , This meet was originally sched uled for December 15, but the Britishers found it necessary to sail for home on that date so cancelled the engagement. Whereupon, President Murrow of the N. S. F. A. which man ages debate tours for foreign teams, cabled them either to fill their engagement with Carolina or not to come to this country at all. The new date, Decem ber 13, was agreed upon after much correspondence via cable and wire between Mr. George McKie, chairman of the debate council, the N. S. F. A., and Cambridge. Debates with British teams in the past have drawn the largest crowds to attend forensic meets on the Hill. The question this year, according, to tne aeoate council, was selected to give the British humor full sway. Louisiana Student Guilty of Libel Baton Rouge, Louisiana, No vember 14. Kemble K. Kennedy Louisiana State University senior law student, was convict ed late Wednesday of criminal libel and circulation of obscene matter, in connection with the publication of the "Whang doodle," a campus scandal sheet. Kennedy may receive a maxi mum sentence of one year im prisonment on each four counts, j Sentence was deferred until Thursday at the request of de fense council. The "Whangdoodle," contain ing references to faculty mem bers, students and university officials, created a stir when it appeared on the L. . U. cam pus last spring. Kennedy is a former president of the L. S. U. student body and at the time - of his suspension from the university last year upon being indicted by the grand jury, was president of the law school and president of the senior law class. NUMBER 50 SAYILLE HONORED WITH PLACE ON 7I7TORAT ROARD, JL4XSJLU.ll JULi JL9 Vl JLI.I&S Will Study Means of Combating Erosion of Shores By Waves and Currents. The chief Army engineers have appointed Thorndike Sa ville, professor of Hydraulic Engineering in the University, and chief engineer of the Divi sion of Water Resources and En gineering of the Department of Conservation and Development, as one of the three civilian mem bers of the Federal Beach Ero sion Board. Four of the seven members of this body are army engineers. The civilian members of the board are: General Richard K. King, Massachusetts department of Public Works ; Victor Gilin eau, New Jersey Board of Com merce and Navigation; and Pro fessor Saville. It is felt that Professor Sa ville's appointment is due to his services to this state in initiat ing the program' for investiga tion of the physical changes on the coast, and his activity in the American Shore and Beach Pres ervation Association, of which he is a director. The board will cooperate with various states in studying mezns of combating the erosion of the shores of coastal and lake waters by waves and currents. Four years ago the depart ment of Conservation and De velopment introduced a -program of observations and stud ies of the changes along the coast of, . North Carolina. The fact that North Carolina is the first Southern state to meet the need for evaluating the various causes that are active in chang ing her beaches and inlets has drawn considerable attention to the state. The problems re garding the migration of com mercial fish, and navigation, as well as improvements along beaches of the state, will be aid ed by a more thorough knowl (Continued on page two) MANY APPLY FOR CONCERT TICKETS Music Club Decorates ; . Building for Initial Concert. New All tickets to the organ pro grams for Saturday have al ready been given out according to Dr. Harold S. Dyer of the music department. Applications for the Sunday performance that are expected today will take the remaining tickets for that day. No more tickets are now available. All in all, twenty-five hundred applications have been received. The music club, under the di rection of Mrs. F. H. Edmister, its president, has decorated the music building with literally miles of smilax. Lights have been installed in the front of the building, and it presents a very festive appearance. Large numbers of out of town visitors are expected to attend all of the three performances. Applications from other cities have not been confined to the im mediate vicinity of Chapel Hill, but have been received from all over the state. Charlotte and Greensboro are sending especial ly large numbers. Many promi nent persons are expected to at tend, and it appears that the University will have a gala celebration.
