ANDERSON SPENT
MANY YEARS AS
NEWSPAPERMAN
Author Was an Outspoken Jour
nalist Before Success of
' 'What Price Glory'
Maxwell Anderson, the author
of Elizabeth, the Queen,, which
will be presented in Memorial
hall, Monday evening, November
16, at 8:30, has been writing
plays only since 1923. His most
famous play, up to the time he
delighted, Broadway with his
version of the strangest lover af
fair in history, was What Price
Glory. This he wrote in collab
oration with Laurence Stallings.
It set a new mark for war plays,
and loosed a Jot .of powerful ex
pletives on the stage.
Born in Pennsylvania
Anderson was born in Atlan
tic, Pa., about forty years ago.
His father was the Baptist min
ister of the town. As his father's
pastorates took the family from
town to town and state to state,
young Anderson managed to
snatch a little schooling in each
place visited. In 1911, he was
graduated from the University
of North Dakota.
Following his graduation, An
derson taught at Stanford uni
versity, and then took up journ
alism, writing for several of the
, California papers.
Newspaper Work
Tiring of the coast, Anderson
journeyed to New York, where
his positive opinions, always
frankly expressed, were consid
ered a valuable asset by The New
Yorker. Later he returned to
. newspaper work, and he was
with the old New York Globe and
then with the Morning World.
He was still writing sizzling edi
torials when the production of
What Price Glory opened a new
field of endeavor for him.
Anderson had already been
guilty of writing a play. It was
called White Desert. Brock
Pemberton produced it in 1923
at the Comedy theatre, New
York. It was a beautifully writ
ten but somber study of his be
loved Dakota prairies in winter.
Evidently it was too cold.or its
coloring a bit too dark for the
consumption of New York play
goers, and it did not last long.
Then came What Price Glory
and the two collaborators found
themselves famous over night.
PRESENTATION OF
CUP ISJAVORED
0. J. Coffin Is in Accord With
Movement for Revival of
Journalistic Award.
Oscar J. Coffin, head of the
journalism department, has ex
pressed accord with the move
ment for a revival of the annual
award of the Preston Cup for
j ournalistic excellence. The cup,
first given in 1910 by Hon. E. R.
Preston in memory of his broth
er, was last .awarded . in 1921,
and has until this week lain for
gotten in the library. Believing
that a revival of the custom will
stimulate a new activity , on the
part of journalists in the Univer
sity, Coffin favors with the
Daily Tar Heel for a renewal of
the custom.
There has been no objection to
producing the award and start
t ing again the annual presenta
tion to a winner in a journalism
contest of some sort, and the cup
still contains room for several
more names of winners.

THOMPSON TALKS
ON TEMPTATION
Chapel Speaker Urges Students
To Guard Against Lit
tle Sins
The speaker on the program
for yesterday's assembly was C.
Douglas Booth, noted British lec
turer. Mr. Booth however, was
unable to arrive in time for as
sembly, and Dr. Taliaferro
Thompson of Union seminary
was consequently asked to speak
in his place. x 1
Speaking on temptation Dr.
Thompson declared that this evil
wTas everywhere ; that it followed
a man no matter where he might
go, on each new plane of his
life. "Temptation is a great
spiritual struggle," he said, "and
one of the most subtle forms in
which it approaches us is with
the idea of doing a thing once.
Life is a unit and we cannot do a
thing once without it hurting us
in the future. A liar must pay
the penalty by having to lie con
tinually. It's the little thing,
then the larger thing, then the
tragic thing." Dr. Thompson
concluded his talk by saying:
"We must make our lives a chal
lenge rather than a truce."

OF CHIMES COMPRISING" NEW CAMPANILE
Noted A viatrix, Touring Country
In Autogiro, Talks On Aviation
-0
Amelia Earhart, Publicly Demonstrating Novel Form of Aircraft,
Tells of Its Chief Advantages Together With Its Faults.
o .
Amelia Earhart, first woman
to fly the Atlantic, discussed
aviation and the teaching of
aviation in an interview accord
ed a Daily Tar Heel reporter at
the Raleigh flying field Saturday
afternoon immediately after a
graphic demonstration of the
autogiro in which she is touring
the country under the sponsor
ship of a prominent chewing-
giinf company.
Miss Earhart received the re
porter in a private office in the
hangar. "Oh, where can I put
mygum?" were the first words
of the famous woman flyer, as
she looked about helplessly. "I'm
advertising the stuff, so I have
to,. take my own medicine," she
explained.
After depositing the gum in
the waste basket, she accosted
the reporter : "Well, what can I
tell you?" ,
It was explained that any in
formation concerning aviation in
general, and the autogiro in par
ticular, likely to be of interest to
University students would be ap
preciated. Miss Earhart smiled. "There
is one peculiarity that I've no
ticed," she said. "That is, that
few University students or per
sons of university age use the
commercial air-lines. 1 do not
know whether or not this is be
cause of the expense involved."
Still smiling, she appealed to
the reporter: "Perhaps you can
answer that one for me?"
When asked whether she
thought the autogiro should be
taught in college aviation cours
es, she aswered: "Something
about the autogiro should, I
think, be taught in every avia
tion course as it is a special tyfie
of aircraft."
Miss Earhart's chief objection
to the autogiro is its lack of
speed. "However," she ex
plained, "there is no reason why

Reduction in Electric Rates

cording to the manager these re

it can't be adopted as a speed
or transport plane."
Discussing aviation in gener
al she expressed surprise that
"few Americans know of the
facilities offered in flying and
its instruction in our own coun
try and that we excel the rest
of the world. She stated that
one thing she thought aviation
needed was better trained teach
ers'. "" w'r ' "- " '
Miss Earhart read the report
er's notes and made pencilled
amendments. She added a post
script to the notes : "Sometimes I
think aviatiQn pupils alert
young ones know almost more
than their teachers."
The autogiro, which Miss Ear
hart demonstrates, uses freely
rotating blades to support it in
the air instead of the usual fixed
wing surfaces of the ordinary
airplane. The weight of the ma
chane suspended under these
blades owing to their, design and
their -angular setting causes
them to rotate, much like a maple
seed. This rotation provides the
sustentation or lift through the
engagement of sufficient air. The
name, "auto-giro" means "self
rotation."
The upper blades are started
by a self-starter which is discon
nected when the autogiro leaves
the ground. Because of air pres
sure, the blades turn at 120 revo
lutions per minute while the ma
chine is in the air. The tips of
the blades travel nearly 200
miles art hour.
The autogiro can-take off in
fif yards if 'there is no wind,
or in fifteen yards if there is an
ordinary wind. It can descend
on a run of fifteen feet. It can
climb at 1,400 feet per minute
faster than the swiftest elevator;
it descends at fourteen feet per
second slower than a para
chute. Its air speed is from 20
to 120 miles an hour.

Lecturer, Here Under Carnegie
Foundation, Says English
Power Is Disintegrating.
Sir C. Douglas Booth, British
lecturer, publisher, and author
ity on British affairs, presented
Monday night, Memorial hall, a
review of the British foreign pol
icy. The title of his address was
"The British Foreign Policy."
The lecturer cited the obstacles
to an unified British foreign pol
icy. Since the imperial confer
ences held a decade ago, the con
stitutional changes have ob
structed the government of Eng
land in maintaining a definite
policy as to her relation with her
possessions. According to the
speaker, this is the major ob
stacle. Post-War Policy
England's post-war policy was
based upon the theory of the
state as a power with the tradi
tional method of maintaining the
balance of power. Post-war
changes in the policy decreed the
abandonment of rigid doctrines
of sovereignty and the replace
ment of this by co-operation with
all the organs of international
peace and the settlement of dis
putes by the World Court.

decorating of the tower.
The earth around the tower, is
already becoming dotted by the
little shoots of grassand soon it
will be surrounded by a thickly
grown lawn. The .walks have
been laid off and will be bordered
by nearly half a mile of hedges,
necessitating the use of about
eight hundred box plants.
The tower x itself, rearing its

NUMBER 41
CHANGE MADE IN
INAUGURAL PLANS
TO TAKE EFFECT
Entire Student Body, Together
With Other Divisions, to View
Ceremonies in Stadium.
Due to the unusually large
number of acceptances to the in
vitations for the formal inaugu
ration of President Frank Porter
Graham, two very important
changes have been made in the
original plans for the inaugural
ceremonies. I he first of these is
the decision of the committee to
move the, exercises from Me
morial hall to Kenan Memorial
stadium. This was done because
it was feared that Memorial hall
would be too small to accommo
date the huge crowd expected.
The second important change is.
the last minute plan of making
an additional division of the in
augural procession.
This new division, the tenth,
is to be made up of the student
body, of the University. The im
portant part about this an
nouncement is that the commit
tee requests the student body to
assembly on the south campus
between South building and the
Y. M. C. A. by 10:00 o'clock,
Wednesday morning. The stu
dents are requested to be there
by this time ,so as to fall in line
double file and march directly be
hind the ninth division. There
will be no attempt to organize
the students according to classes.
The procession is to start on
the main walk between Bingham
hall and the University library.
The band which Will follow the
color guard, will stand at the in
tersection of the walk and the
highway. The color guard is to
be made up of four members of
the Chapel Hill post of the
American Legion, bearing the
American flag and also the North
Carolina banner. Led by the col
or guard and the University
band, the procession will march
by the bell tower, down the path
and through the main gate of the
stadium leading to the field. The
band will take its position to the
left of the speakers stand which
will be erected on the field. Then
the band will play while the re
mainder of the procession files
in and takes its position. The
band will then be seated in the
rear of tfae general student sec
tion. The color guard" will take
its position to the right of the
speakers' stand andplant the
colors. Then the guard will take
seats designated for them. The
