In the current issue of Vari ety, theatrical weekly, "Five Star Final" is suggested as hav ing had its effect upon Ameri ca's biggest tabloid daily, for the New York Daily News has received cleari-up orders. Mean while the Hearst papers are giv ing "Final," as a picture, ter rific lacings in type wherever Hearst has a paper, pointing it out as an affront to all news- . papers, and a disgrace to . the picture industry, thereby might ily swelling business for the film. On the opposite side is the Scripps-Howard chain of pa pers which have commenced to answer the Hearst ""salvo by praising the film, editorially, even referring to Hearst and Brisbane by name in their an swers. But the most startling of all newspaper edicts has gone into effect on the Daily News. Pred-Med Students All students expecting to enter the medical school next falf should see Dr. J. M.

Captain Joseph Patterson, its publisher, has put out a ukase which tells the boys they mustn't report scandal or rumor hereafter and that no divorce stories are to be handled save as a matter of record. Patter son furthermore ' has demanded that the New York Time's style is to be followed in handling this type of news. This edict has the News staff men wonder ing, since they had been train ed, what with one thing ana an other, to use a lot of rumor and scandal stuff in days gone by. "Turning square," as most peo ple have termed it, is hard to do overnight. Captain Patterson may have seen the show or film called "Five Star Final," his men say. They add that he must have been impressed by it, and' that he figured that an attack of this character against the tabs was bound to have a reaction with the public, and that when the reaction came he wanted to be able to say that he had changed the style long. ago. The play Five Star Final was written by Louis Weitzenkorn, formerly managing editor, of the New York Graphic, Bernarr McFadden's tabloid, and was later made into a picture by First National. ; , . ..The Morehead - P a 1 1 e r s on Memorial bell tower will be formally dedicated Thursday morning before the annual Thanksgiving day classic. The chimes are manipulated entirely by hand, and will be played by Chester Meneely, of Troy, N. Y., who comes to Chapel Hill for the occasion. . Site of the Tower The tower was designed by McKim, Meade and White, of New York. The architects were Atwood and Weeks, of Durham, and the T. C. Thompson Broth ers of Chapel Hill were the con tractors. Site of the tower is between the library and Kenan stadium, on the south side of the Raleigh road (route 54) . This places the structure on an axis "passing through the middle of South building and the library. From the middle of the campus the tower's spire may be seen rising above the library dome. Spec tators on the south side of Ken an stadium will be able to obtain a full view of the new structure. Park Around Tower The space around the base of the tower has been converted in to a sort of park which is a distinct adornment to the Uni versity grounds. More than $2,000 worth j of box plants, which form small hedges for the pathways, have been set out around the base, the knoll on which the tower is placed has been graded a bit, and newly sown grass is springing up. Dr. W. C. Coker, director of the University's famous arboretum, is in charge of this park layout. The chimes for the tower, which are exact replicas of the famous West Point chimes, con sist of twelve bells. They were made from bell metal alloy com posed of seventy-eight per cent German Club Tickets May Be Secured Now Tickets for the German club Thanksgiving dances may now be secured from John Park at the Sigma Nu house any after noon between 1 :00 and 2 :00 o'clock.

Fund Begun In 1904 The fund was etablished in 1904 by Lawrence S. Holt, of Asheville and Burlington, of the class of 1904. The committee which interviewed the twenty four applicants for the scholar ship and made the award after considering each man's merits consisted of A. W. Hobbs, dean of the college of liberal arts, chairman; H. Comer, secretary of the Y. M. C. A.; N. W. Walk er, acting dean of the school of education; D. D. Carroll, dean of the school of commerce; R.

Noble, dean of the school of L The -speaker at assembly yes terday morning was Colonel Joseph Hyde Pratt, chairman of the Chapel Hill division of the Red Cross and , former profes sor of economic geology in the University. , Pratt reviewed the history of the Red Cross. It was founded, he stated, s by a young man of Switzerland, who, after witness ing a battle between Austrian and French troops in northern Italy, recruited a number of men and women from nearby villages to care for the 40,000 wounded left on the field. In 1862 this same young man published, a pamphlet on the need of having organized medical aid present at like catastrophes. ' Peace Time Aid "Indirectly, the Confederate Army is responsible for organ izing the Red Cross' declared Pratt. At the second battle of Bull Run in 1862, protection was first offered to those who aided in caring for the wounded, and a provision was made that all those taken prisoner who were caring for the wounded should be returned under truce. ' Pratt specifically referred to the New Bern fire and Sanford mine disaster as examples of Red Cross relief in North Carolina. $50,000 was appropriated for the care of the homeless in the instance of the former, even though Red Cross funds are kept up entirely by voluntary contributions. "We want every body given an opportunity," he stated, "to become a member of the Chapel Hill chapter of the Red Cross." . bers of the club, as well as guest tickets may be obtained during education .

Self-Help Students Have Hard Time Raking Leaves For Money 0 Now That Men Can't Take Tickets at Football Games, They Must Turn to More Soul-Searching, Trying Work for Livelihood. -o : SWAIN HALL TO CLOSE DURING THANKSGIVING Owing to the fact that almost the entire student body leaves Npw Lake SuDerior CooDer and ' the campus at Thanksgiving, twenty-two per cent block tin. They were cast and installed by the Meneely Bell Company of Troy, N. Y. They hang at a height of 103 feet from the ground. Swain hall will not be open dur ing the holidays. It will close its doors after the noon meal Thursday and will not reopen them until Sunday night at sup per. Hard is the life of the self help man of this day and time. Coupled with existing, or said to exist, hard times, he is bar red from taking .tickets at the football games. What has he to choose as an alternative? raking leaves. " That's when the young man really sacrifices his labor, his time and above all his character for an education. Few people who have never raked dry leaves in an autumn wind know the hardships which that task offers. Many Sacrifices The self-help man sacrifices athletics as well as other after noon events in order to make a little, very little, money raking leaves. He dons his working clothes, and goes out to toil under an unusually warm au tumn sun. He wrestles with loads and loads of leaves until they are nicely assembled in a pile. Tired from work and damp with prespiration, he leans back on his rake handle for a few breaths before seek ing something to convey his pile of leaves to a more desirable spot. .. Test of Character It's a blow to him, and would be to anyone, to come back and find the leaves scattered all over l..': the yard again by the wind, a bunch of stray dogs, or playful children, or something (there's always something to scatter dry leaves). A boy who has lived in this world long enough to acquire a high school education and go to college has naturally acquired a good vocabulary of vulgar expressions which are a great relief in times of mental strain such as the one in ques tion. He can't light a Murad for fear of firing the leaves and starting another of the danger ous forest fires now raging. Naturally enough he resorts to the first or has to subdue such an inclination. It's that strain of subding the expression used by 98 per cent. Of our golfers that is the test of character. It's education ver sus risk of character. The cata logue doesn't picture it as others see it, so let's give a cheer for the self-help man and say, keep fighting.' A.B.
