Bernard head of the Greek department made a short talk to" the assembly yesterday morning on the significance of the Lux Libertas, motto of the University. "The only instru ment for perpetuating demo cracy is light and education," he said, and estimated that the cost to the state, for each stu-. dent in the University is $500 The state needs preachers, but those who recognize scientific discoveries as the voice of God ; . . and she needs lawyers and politicians, but not those who will accept bribes for crooked legislation. The University is the life-blood of North Caro lina.' ALUMNUS FINDS SMALL TRIASSIC DEPOSIT IN N. C, Carl B. Brown's Discovery Shows Need for More Geological Survey in State. The ' theory published by Dr. W. F. Prouty, of the geology de pertment, in regard to the struc ture and distribution tf triassic basins in eastern United States was borne out by the discovery of a deposit of triassic sedi ments in the northwestern part of Davie k county, by Carl B. Brown, a graduate of the Uni versity department of geology. This -comparative small basin of triassic rock was apparently overlooked in earlier " geological -1 surveys maae many years ago more in the nature of prelimin ary examinations. In recent years North Carolina, unlike most states of the Union, has thought itself too poor to spend money on geological mapping. For this reason these deposits have been overlooked. Only One Reference In geological literature, the only reference made to the trias sic character of the area referred to is that by, R. C. Journey and S. R. Bacon in their soil survey report of Davie county made in 1927. In this report, the Gran ville fine sandy loam found in the area was said to be from the tri assic sandstone and shale. The discovery of this new tri assic deposit in Davie county by Brown, is interesting from a number of standpoints. It is considered unusual that this area could have gone so long undis covered, and this fact indicates need for geological mapping in North Carolina. That there are unquestionably a great number of valuable metallic and non metallic mineral deposits await ing discovery in various parts of the state has, been the con tention of all the more recent state geologists from Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt to Herman J. Bry son. . . " Pep Meeting A worthy climax to the en thusiasm and excitement prevalent among, the students prior to the Carolina-Duke game, in, the form of a gigan tic pep rally, . will take place at Memorial hall at 9 :00 to night. ; There will be three main speakers, Mr. House, "Scrub by" Rives, and jNorman Boren. In addition, the eighty piece Carolina band will play. After the meeting there will he a snake dance through town and campus. CHAPEL HILL, N.

Latest Story By Wilbur Daniel Steele Has Chapel Hill Setting - 'The Man Without a God" Appearing in the Ladies Home Journal Tells Much of the Beginning of Carolina Traditions. o . " Wilbur Daniel Steele has drawn a picture of the "early days of the University in his latest story, "The Man Without a "God." which is now running in the Ladies Home Journal. Al though the Chapel Hill setting is only incidental to the story, he has given anintimate glimpse of, the life of the University in the dark ages after the civil war. The story is that of a country boy who came to the University to learn how to preach the word of God. He came from people whose faith was blind and de void of reasons, and some of Nthe teachings of his professors sacrilegious. Finally he gave up and went home to the nar row ideas of his fore-fathers. But he could not put the teach ing of his professors from his mind, and began to turn them over and over. He became dis satisfied with narrow and blind faith of the country-folk. He was fifty years ahead of his people in thought, and they re sented his liberty in thought and made him an outcast, r This story is of especial in through life. Gradually under the strain of public opinion and the loss of his childhood sweet Weasel Escapes The weasel which several University students caught last week and gave v to' the Zoology department, has escaped by gnawing through the wood and wire of its cage. The depart ment intended to keep it confined for study, and then kill and mount it, but "slick as a weasel" it got away. - The Sunday Feature Issue of the Daily Tar Heel Which Will Appear November 22, Will Contain Special - Features and Interviews Headed by The Complete Story of the New Bell Tower Odd Facts About University Courses Does Chapel Hill Have a Noise Menace?

C. Coker. Except for the placing of six large box wood trees on either side of the entrances, everything .is in read iness for the presentation, which will take place Thanksgiving. The grass is far enough ad vanced to give a solid green tint to the area between the paths, which are bordered by eight hundred box woods. The boy wood is a most appro priate .pi: it to be chosen for the decoration ? of such a .stately building as the Patterson-Moore-head Memorial. They were for merly used as hedges in the old formal gardens of Europe, and were often trimmed into fantast ic shapes. Though the shrub is of rather slow growth, it is an evergreen, and thrives in almost any well drained soil, so it should prove practical as well as a beautiful ornament. heart he loses all faith in God. As the story ends he is brought back to. the realization that there is a God. . . . -'. The story is of especial in terest to men who have been to the University, and know the spirit of the poplar tree and the iveyed buildings. The story shows the beginning of the great Carolina tradition, prog ress.
