BOTANISTS COKER
AND TOTTEN HAVE
NEW BOOK READY
University Professors Prepare
Publication on North Carolina
Trees and Shrubbery.
Dr. W. C. Coker and Dr. H. R.
Totten, both of the department
of Botany, are completing a
study of North Carolina trees,
which they will publish in book
form this winter through the
University Press v Coker and
Totten have been at work on this
volume since 1916, when they
published a small book on the
same subject. They have done
an enormous amount of research
and field work in their study of
the native North and South
Carolina trees, and this new
work promises to be comprehen
sive in its scope.
One of the most interesting
features of the book will be the
numerous pictures and drawings
by Miss Nell Henry, assistant in
the department of Botany. Miss
Henry has devoted most of her
time in' an endeavor to make
these illustrations accurate in
every detail and at the same time
.works of art.
The trees and shrubbery of
!North Carolina present an un
usually fertile field for the stu
dent of Botany. "The flora of
North Carolina;" states Dr. Tot
ten, "is very rich, and in no way
richer than in the beauty and
variety of its trees."
He goes on to say that this
state is third - highest in its
variety of trees, being preceeded
only by Florida and Texas. Of
unusual interest to North Caro
linians is the fact that, although
so much is heard about the trees
;of California, there, are not as
many kinds of trees there as in
.North Carolina.

Frank A. March has just re
turned to this country for a
year's graduate study in rural
sanitation engineering at this
University upon the recommen

tary engineer for the Rockefeller
Foundation in Greece. ' -
March is a resident of Green-
burg where his father, Thomas

of schools in Westmoreland coun
ty. Frank March went to La
fayette college where he received
his degree in civil engineering in
1916. He went overseas as in-
ter-area auditor for the Near
East Foundation in 1926.
"Only a year ago seventy-two
per cent of the children in a num
ber of Syrian villages were suf
fering from various forms of
malaria, many with extreme ane
mia and hemorrhages, while the
fields lay idle because the men
were too ill to work." Mr. March
said. "The Syrian villages were
surrounded by malaria-infested
swamps and the same condition
existed in Albania. Malaria is
the most serious disease in the
world today from the standpoint
of loss of life, loss of time and
incapacitating people for work.

mediately put under way. Miss
Annie Slack, a Near East Foun

Combining the conventional
ingredients of cleverly con
structed humor and ingeniously
'depicted cartoons, the initial
number of the Carolina Buc
caneer, stormy petrel of the Uni
versity publications, was, de-
uverea punctiliously at every
student door yesterday morning.
The front cover of the maga
zine was dressed in the manner
befitting its dedication to the
class of 1935; with a background
of deep green intertwined with
vioiets, cnrysantnemums, cro
cuses, pansises and other posies,
with here and there a dash of
the columbine and the lilly-of-the-valley.
Ninety-eight Pages
The first number contained
ninety-eight pages, forty-seven
I more than any previous issue.
Fifty-one pages were blank, in
adherence to a new policy which
provides that a section of the
magazine be left blank so that
subscribers, might draw their
own cartoons if those provided
by the art staff do not satisfy.
Three new jokes on the Sigma

the first time on the Playmaker
stage. Betsy Perro'w and John
Sehon, whov demonstrated their

FACULTY ADVISER FOR ANARCHISTS
As a result of the several joint meetings which the Social
ist and Communist clubs have had this fall, a third association
of socially-minded students is to be formed tonight, when the
incipient Anarchist club will meet in room 215, Graham
Memorial, at 7:30.
Because this meeting will be the first, no business other
than that of organization and statement of policy will be
brought up. A faculty adviser is to be elected, as well as
s permanent officers, who hope to ally themselves with the
various anarchistic parties in the country, and who also hope
to act as distributing center for the very voluminous litera
ture now ready on the subject of anarchism.
MANY STUDENTS
GIVE NAMES FOR
NEW BOOK SHOP
Manager of the "Bull's Head"
Receives Flood of Replies
in Prize Contest.
'With a prize of five dollars
worth of good books for a new
name for the old Bull's Head"
is no surprise that the ballot box
for contributions, when7opened
at the close of the contest yes-
terday afternoon contained
every imaginable name, and
several totally unimaginable
ones, from over three hundred
literary minded students desir
ous of the prize. The r names
ranged from simply "Tar Heel
Book Shop," "University Book
Shop," "CarolinaBook Shop" to
names that would require a read
ing knowledge of medieval Latin
to understand. There were
scores of duplications of "Book
Nook" and its like. Twq pages
of beautiful shaded pink paper
contained 233 names from one
very aspiring person. Some con
tributions did not step at merely
naming the new shop, but con
tributed numerous trade marks,
featuring in pen drawing the
two-headed Latin god Janus and
other ancient deities. Not a
single name submitted used the
word "shoppe," which Miss
Mary Dirnberger, manager of
the book store, thinks is quite
remarkable.

The play is rich in modern
comedy, and will also surprise
most of the audience with its
sound philosophy. "W hen a
man's young he makes love
when ne's middle-aged he makes
money or tries to and when
he's old he makes his soul . . ..
But I'd rather be young, and
make love, to a girl that was in
love with me," is Mr. Haleyy's
conclusion after his daughter has
married, against his better judg
ment.
The marriage turns out a
failure, because, as Bobby says,
"What we wanted was a love af
fair, wasn't it? Just to be to
gether and let the rest go
hang . . . And what we got was
a house and bills, and general
hell ... Do you know- what I
think a love-affair is, Rims? It's
when the world is trying to keep
two people apart, and they in
sist on being together. And
when they get married the whole
world pushes them together
so they just naturally fly apart.
I want my love affair back. I
want hurried kisses, and clan
destine meetings, and a secret
lover ... I don't want a house
I don't want a husband. I want
