' Some of the best student relig ious leaders in the country are lending advice to the arrange ment of the program, and a round table idea for groups has been very well adapted to the needs of this conference. Quali fied and informed leaders on dif ferent phases of the convention will direct large tire-side con versations" to introduce to some vital spot of their own knowl edge and experience. This is de sierned to nroduce discussion without the "pooling of ignor ance." , ' A few of the more well-known men who will attend the meet ing : Dr. John R.

Goodman Bets He Can Take 76 Pounds of Lumber to Durham on Foot. "Necessity is the mother of in vention" is one of the many wise sayings passed on to us by our forebearers. At least one stu dent at Carolina has attempted a superhuman task to assist in supporting himself at this instit ution. O. G. Goodman, of Lin ville Falls, has wagered the sum of ten dollars that he will be able to carry to Durham, while walking, four sixteen-foot boards, their total weight aggre gating seventy-six pounds. He is accompanied by a referee, Lester Lloyd. Both are on the staff of the building de partment. Ed Lanier, of the Y. M. C. A., relates the story of how this stu dent came to Carolina. He and his father came to Chapel Hill at the beginning of the fall quarter last year. Both secured jobs and Goodman enrolled in the Univer sity. His father was injured while working on Memorial hall, and either Goodman or his brother, who was a junior with a Phi Beta Kappa average, would necessarily have to stop school. " Goodman secured full time employment with the buildings department. In the evenings he studied at the library. In the United Daughters of the Confederacy essay contest on Jefferson Davis, he submitted the prize winning essay. It gave him a cash prize of two hundred dollars. As soon as he received this news he came back to Chapel Hill. Goodman has found many In dian relics which he has sold to Archibald Rutledge, the author. Last reports from the, wagerer stated that he was three or four miles out on his journey to Dur ham. The consensus of opinion is that he will succeed, for his physical strength is extraordin ary. Edmister Will Talk To Mitchell Society The Elisha Mitchell scientific society will conduct its 331st meeting Tuesday, November 10, in Phillips hall at 7:30. The meeting ,will be led by a talk by F.

TAR HEEL STARS WILLING TO PLAY CHARITY CONTEST Carolina's stars of the 1929 football season may reassemble for a charity game this fall if a suitable opponent can be found, according to mtormation given "' thf Charlotte Observer bv Jim-: x my Ward, Carolina freshman i coach who played halfback for the Tar Heels two years ago. The game will probably be played in Charlotte. Harry Schwartz, all-state cen ter and captain of the Tar Heels in 1928, said there was a possi bility that a team of college stars be gathered together in Char lotte to oppose the stars of Coach Collins' greatest team. Other rumors have it that Elon college will furnish the opposition, but nothing has been settled defin itely as yet. The 1929 Tar Heels, second highest scoring team in the na tion with 346 points, were led by Ray Farris, now freshman coach here, and boasted such stars as Jimmy Ward, Jim Mag ner, Yank Spaulding, Strud Nash, Henry House, Pete Wyrick, and Johnny Branch in the backfield. The first string ine consisted of Ned Lipscombe at center, Farris and Fysal at guards, Bill Koenig and Pot Ad- kins tackles, and Don Holt and T . , ; Jule Fenner ends Several members of the pres ent Carolina team will be eligible o compete, including Slusser, Gilbreath, Brown, Mclver, and Fysal. Johnny Branch, too, will be among the Tar Heel backfield stars, according to Ward, who will be "in charge of arrange ments. The Tar Heel squad of 1929 played through its ten game schedule with only one defeat; a 19-12 loss to Georgia, and won all its Big Five, games by over whelming margins. Every mem ber of the first string team was selected for either first or sec- and all-state, and seven back- field men were placed on the two teams. Captain Farris was a unanimous choice for All-South ern guard, and was placed on the All-American third team. Mag ner made second All-Southern, and Branch third, while Koe nig, Adkins, Lipscombe, Ward, Spaulding, Holt, and Nash re ceived honorable mention on practically every all-star pick.

STUDENTS AT PRINCETON PREFER MIND TO. MUSCLE Tradition at Princeton uni versity repeated itself a week ago when 545 freshmen voted that a Phi Beta Kappa key was distinctly more desirable than an athletic monogram. Education seemed to be the prime factor causing 327 members of the class of 1935 to register, the results of the annual Princetonian ques tionnaire further showed. Answers to the query, "Why I came to Princeton, showed that 163 were lured by the name and renutation. while family tra- dition and contacts were respon x- sible for the entrance of seventy. The Princetonian, university newspaper, was voted the most favored extra-curricula activity, while the glee club received sev enty-eight votes for popularity. More freshmen smoke than not, but the abstainers exceed the drinkers by over 165 t votes, as compared with V slight margin the other way around last year. The Phi Beta Kappa charm was more desired than a varsity let ter by a marjority of 195. Cuban Girls Are Denied Freedom Of Rumble Seat Student From Island Says Necking Menace Is Avoided by Chaperonage of Dates. Girls in Cuba do, not neck, ac cording to Miguel Arrabel, Cu ban student, because they do not have the freedom from chaper onage and the facility of the rumble seat that the American girl has. The young Cuban miss is constantly under the eyes of a parent on every "date". Arrabel, however, approves the freedom of action which al lows the American girl her own personality, and to pursue her own ambitions. But he has an especial dislike for the-girl who loses her feminine charm. Girls absorb a harsh masculinity by attempting to do the works of men, he thinks. But like all new-comers to the University from another land, Arrabel tactfully hastened to say that the American girls are, on the whole, the prettiest that he has seen in his travels out side his own country. A native of Neuvidos, Cuba, he entered the University as a freshman this year. He grad uated at' Neuvidos in a high school headed by an American principal, who, with another in structor, induced him to enter here for civil engineering. He learned English, which he speaks with a noticeable effort, from his high school courses and as a result of living for a year in New York. He is contemplating entering the Cuban field as an engineer after his study here. Arrabel is very much annoyed when people ask him whether "they have automobiles in Cuba." "Another strange ques tion," he says, "is a query as to the trouble from the Indians. Those people ought to see Hava- na. FOOTBALL GAME FEATURES SPORT PROGRAM TODAY (Continued from preceding page) looked good in the backfield, and Blount, Cox, Lozowick, Gardner, and Ray in the line. These boys will probably carry the brunt of the work against Oak Ridge, which held State's powerful freshmen to a closer score than the Tar Babies, and which is re ported to have a strong team that will make a good match for the local frosh.

BUMS ADVOCATES - 1 MORE EDUCATION TO AIDPROGRESS South Can Be Built Up Only bv v Removing Educational Conservatism. (Continued from first page) He also declared that educa tion can no longer be confined to children in a few years of schooling. Dr. Cook, who presided over the session, said "the history of panic and poverty reveal that progress and prosperity are not secured by cutting, but by buy ing, building, and educating. "The present policy of reck lessly cutting school expendi tures in our state is not only un fair and injurious to the child hood of the state but is a bad ad vertisement for North Carolina and a sad commentary on the ability of some of our statesmen to see the way out of our eco nomic and educational crisis," he asserted. He continued by saying, "That illiteracy, crime, poverty, and a poor system of education go hand in hand has been conclu- be questioned." Dean J. J. Doster of the Uni versity of Alabama, who presid ed over the morning session, said the south faces two fundamental difficulties in its effort to finance education, namely, the lowest per capita wealth increase of any states in the union, and obsolete systems of taxation. Discussing "The Responsibil ity of Educational Leadership," Dr. Holland Holton of Duke uni versity made the plea that "the school people of the state and the friends of education in every profession and position follow the lead of the North Carolina education association and go in to every school district with so much solemn earnestness as to convince every man, woman, and child in the average district that the schools must be main tained and that the issue of sup porting them is in no sense poli tical.'" . Dean Charles G.. Maphis of the University of Virginia spoke at the luncheon session on "Adult Illiteracy in the South," , point ing to the progress being made through extension courses, night schools, and other agencies. The final session of the con ference will be held this morn ing in the Durham junior high school in conjunction with the north central meeting of the North Carolina educational as sociation. For the second year this con ference was made possible by the Julius Rosenwald fund. Be cause the University was unable to finance the conference last year, the Rosenwald fund con tributed $3,000 last year and again this year for it.
