VOLUME XXXIX
NOTED PHYSICIST"
TO LECTURE AT
DIM IMVERSITY
Dr. R. A. Millikan Won Nobel
Prize in Physics in 1923.
Dr. Robert Andrews Millikan,
president of the California In
stitute of Technology and direc
tor of the Norman Bridge Lab
oratory of Physics, will lecture
on "New Knowledge of the Uni
verse About Us" in the Page
Auditorium of the new Duke
campus Monday, December fif
teenth, at eight P. M. Dr. Milli
kan consented to speak at the re
quest of the scientific societies of
Duke University. The address
is open to the public.
Dr. Millikan for many years
has been making researches on
electrical phenomena and mole
cular theories connected with
light rays. Of his contributions
to science there are three of
major importance. The first is
the isolation of the electron and
an accurate determination of its
properties. The second is his ac
curate determination of the
quantum of energy. The third
and perhaps the most important
is his work concerning cosmic
rays from interstellar bodies. He
has just returned from a trip to
the magnetic north pole, where
he studied the intensity of these
rays. Dr. Millikan has also car
ried his work to South America
where he conducted researches
in the Andes. The cosmic rays
are sometimes called Millikan
rays because he has done so
much to increase the knowledge
of them.
Among the honors that Dr.
Millikan has won by his re
searches is the Nobel Prize in
Physics in 1923 from the Royal
Swedish Academy as a result of
his success in connection with
the discoveries concerning elec
trons and their properties.
The Crowell Scientific Society
of Duke University and the
Sigma Pi Sigma, honorary Phy
sics fraternity there, are respon
sible for obtaining the speaker.

BAND IS SPONSOR
OF SUNDAY SHOW
Performance of "Love Parade"
And a Musical Program Will
Be Given at Theatre.
The Carolina Theater will pre
sent a special showing of "Love
Parade" Sunday afternoon in
connection with a concert by the
University band. There will be
no charge for admission, but
those attending will have the op
portunity to make a contribu
tion at the door. The entire
proceeds will go to the band.
The performance will begin
with a short program by the
band at two-thirty which will
be followed by the picture, "Love
Parade," starring Jeanette
MacE)onald and Maurice Cheva
lier. . ' ' '
E. Carrington Smith, mana
ger of the theatre, plans to have
the first four rows of. seats, re
moved and special lights installed
for the concert.
. The University , symphonic
band is different from the ath
letic band. The former plays
only the best of music, and past
experiences have proved that it
tunes down like an orchestra,
the volume never being 'offensive
even in the smallest of build
ings. The theater with its spec
ial acoustical qualities for the
sound pictures, is said to make
a splendid concert hall.
Although the band, has made
it a point not to charge admis
sion for Chapel Hill programs,
there are certain expenses neces
sary to the existence of: the or
ganization for which funds
must' be raised by the band,
since the University is not in a
position to subsidize it.
Chief among these expenses
is the purchese of awards for
men who have given three years
of service. In addition to this,
the band arranges one or two
concert tours each year, on
which it" plays mainly before
high school groups to encourage
new talent to come to the Uni
versity. Sometimes, because of
bad weather, unusual competi
tion. or like difficulties, these
trips result in a slight deficit. To
meet just such a contingency the
manager of the Carolina lhea
tre donated two Sunday per
formances last year. Although
the contributions were rather
small in some cases, the venture
proved a great help.

Dixie99 Makes Last Curtain Call
After Years
-o-
"Dixie," the only quadruped
Ph.D in the., University, and a
member of the: Actor's Equity
Association of America, the
Carolina Playmakers, and the
Carolina Dramatic Association,
silently passed to her reward
Monday night, following a fatal
ride on a running board, from
which she was thrown into the
path of an on-rushing machine.
Fifteen minutes before her sud
den demise, ' "Dixie" made what
chanced to be her final curtain
bow in the Playmakers Theatre,
where,- taking her customary
place of prominence upon the
stage, she conveyed to a sympa
thetic audience by her frank, in
delicate attitude, her usual
boredom with the amateur
actors and playwrights. "Dixie"
was often referred to as "the
best critic and actor that ever
crossed the Playmakers, stage."
Eight years ago the lady-ter-rior
won the admiration of Fred
erick H. Koch, Jr., by way of

' Portrait of Logan
William Steene, the local art
ist who has contributed gener
ously of his time and talent to
the proposed organization of an
art department in the Univer
sity, is to go to Chicago early in
January to paint the portrait of
Frank G. Logan, Chicago mil
lionaire and philanthropist.
Logan is the creator of the
Logan Perpetual Award which
has ' granted a long series of
prizes in the field of art. The
Chicagoan has long been an ac
tive' enthusiast and patron of
art. 5 For more3 than twenty
years he has been a trustee of
the" Chicago Art Institute, hav
ing just completed a renewed
term" as vice-president; The
board of governors of the Grand
Central Arts Galleries of New
York City named Steene for the
task. '
Steene's selection is indicative
of his growing reputation, inas
much as his activities in the por
trait field have, thus far been
limited to the South and East.

he pled with the owner for a

cost of $2.50 "Dixie" be

this affiliation her normal1 in

ALDERMEN REGRET
BRAUNETPASSING
Board Passes Resolution in Mem
ory of Esteemed Fellow
Member's Death.
At the monthly meeting of
the Chapel Hill board of alder
men Wednesday evening a reso
lution to the following effect
was unanimously passed by the
board :
"IN MEMORIAM
GUSTAVE MAURICE
BRAUNE
1872-1930
xnc ciiucj. men ux iiic tu vv II 01
Chapel Hill having learned with
deep regret of the untimely
death, November 26, 1930, of
their colleague, Gustave Maurice
Braune, a member of this board
from 1922 to 1930, hereby order
that the following expression of
their sense of loss sustained by
this community be entered upon
their minutes:
"By the death of Gustave M.
Braune the Town of Chapel Hill
has lost a good citizen, the gov
erning body of the town, a valu
able member, and we, his col
leagues, a loyal friend.
"As a citizen, he always mani
fested a keen, intelligent, and
unselfish interest in the welfare
of this community and to his in
terest many of the improvements
made during the past decade
may be directly traced.
"As a public official he was
faithful to his duties, wise in
counsel, prompt to accept re
sponsibility, and ever ready to
place at the service of the town
the fruits of his wide prof ession
al experience and his expert
knowledge of problems vitally
affecting the interests of the
municipality.
"As a friend and colleague, he
was gentle, patient, forbearing,
helpful, and staunch and loyal
in good and adverse f ortune."
There was little else discussed
at the meeting except that the
board voted to have sixteen
sugar maple trees planted along
Franklin street, and to have a
community Christmas tree
placed in front of the Methodist
church. The tree was not placed
on the University campus as last
year because it was found that
it could not be seen from the
road and some people neglected
to attend the distribution of the
gifts. Small cedar trees were
placed along Franklin street yes
terday at the order of the board
of Aldermen and the unemploy
ment committee. '
