PRESENTED WITH
FRIENDSHIP BOOK
Book Compiled by Graduate of
1860 Contain 150 Stu
dent Signatures.
A friendship book, a form of
literature, which is fast "disap
pearing today, has been turned
over to the alumni association
by Mrs. H. S. McAllister, whose
father, Daniel R. Coleman, of
the class of 1860, compiled the
book. The book contains ap
proximately 150 signatures of
students who attended school in
1857.
Besides the name there ap
pears on each page the person's
fraternity, address, intended oc
cupation, and class, The names
of the Dialectic and Philanthro
pic societies are found fre
quently. In keeping with the
spirit of the age there are sev
eral classical inscriptions scat
tered throughout the pages as
-well as the more familiar poetic
protestations of friendship.
One student set down as his in
tended occupation, "married
man" while another seems to
have gone by the appelatibn of
"prize-fighter."
Interesting Signature
Among the signatures is that
of Thomas S. Kenan, father of
the donor of , Kenan stadium,
and grandfather of two students"
now enrolled in the University.
Daniel B. Coleman was one
of the two oldest living gradu
ates at the time of his death in
th fall of 1930.- He was then
ninety-one, and was-, living in
Belleville, Ontario. ,The oldest
living graduate at the present
time is Captain John H. Thorpe,
of Rocky Mount, also of the
-class of 1860, who is now 92
years old.
DR. SPANN WILL
INTRODUCE-FILM
OF GERMAN LIFE
Language Department Will Offer
Descriptive Presentation of
Old 'and New Germany.
Two aspects of life in Ger
many will be presented tomor
row morning at 9:45 in the
Carolina theatre when the Ger
man department of the Univer1
sity will show a group of mov
ing pictures under the title of
"Germany, Old and New." The
films will be introduced by Dr.
Meno Spanrt, native of Germany
who is a member of the depart
ment. The first part of the produc
tion centers around a trip
through Germany covering
Northeastern and Southern Ger
many and the Rhine valley. The
old an4 new in Germany will be
contrasted by this trip which
presents the ancient castles and
cathedrals and the modern fac
tories and buildings sidejby side
while variety will be produced
in the form of winter sports,
water sports and German art
:and costumes. .
Medieval Germany
The second part deals exclu
sively with medieval Germany,
showing cities a thousand years
old. - ' '
The manager pf the Carolina
theatre has offered the use of
the building for the production
.Saturday morning. The' show,
which was planned or only the
students of the German depart
ment, will be open to all and no
admission will be charged.
New Plan Will Be
Used By Debaters
The Oregon plan of cross-examination,
which the University
debaters will use against the de
bating squad from the Univer
sity of Cincinnati tonight at
Gerrard hall, is radically differ
ent from, the old formal type of
scholastic debates. This revised
plan is to be used in regard to
the query : "Is capitalism as a
plan of economic organization
unsound?"
The Oregon plan of debate is
more practical than the usual
type. The conditions surround
ing it are much the same as those
which surround dicussions in the
every day world. Although the
contestants are not mainly con
cerned with winning, the Ore
gon system is much more valu
able and interesting than the
ordinary plan. It gives much
training for speaking under con
ditions which prevail in the
business and political world af
ter college days are over. It
makes necessary a direct, honest
discussion of the topic under dis
cussion. ARCHAEOLOGIST
LECTURES ABOUT
BURIEDTREASURE
Dr. Harland Explains to Assem
bly Custom of Ancients in
Having Expensive Tombs.
Describing ancient tombs of
Egypt, Babylonia, and Greece,
Dr. J. P. Harland, professor of
archaeology, addressed assembly
yesterday morning on "Buried
Treasure."
After having defined archae
ology as the study of jmcient
art, Dr. Harland described in
detail the remains of Tut-ankh-amen's
tomb in Egypt. "The
ancients considered the tomb all
important," said he, "since it
was the eternal resting-place."
In accordance with their belief,
three rooms , of Tut-ankh-amen's
tomb were "stored with food, ac
coutrements of war, and every
thing which the king might
wish in the realm of the dead.
Burial Chamber
The fourth, the burial cham
ber, contained a stone coffin.
Within were found several outer
sarcophagi which inclosed the
actual coffin, studded with red,
white, and blue stones. "It has
been estimated that if the gold
overlaying this sarcophagus
were melted down, it would be
worth a quarter of a million dol
lars," stated Dr. Harland.
Out of six tombs in Greece,
he said, over 600 objects of
gold vases, cups, daggers, and
other ornaments were discov
ered.. In the city of Uhr in
Rabvlonia. similar evidence of
wealth was found.
. "Let us consider .the wealth
and power represented in these
tombs, which represent all that
is extant of once mighty civiliza
tions; let us be reminded that
even our civilization may some
day lie in ruins," concluded Dr.
Harland.

CHAPEL HILL, N. C FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1932
KNOW YOUR
(EDITOR'S NOTE: In the same vein in which a survey of University
courses was presented before the holidays, the Daily Tar Heel continues with
this issue a comprehensive summary of campus institutions with the idea
of causing every citizen of the University to become better acquainted with
the policies and systems of operation of his service organizations.)
CLASS OFFICERS
The history of campus class
office elections at the Univer
sity of North Carolina goes
back to the day when the Dia
lectic and Philanthropic literary
societies ruled the campus and
had control of all political ma
chinery. It was through these
that such men as James K. Polk,
John J. Parker, Charles B. Ay
cock, 'Edward K. Graham, O.
Max Gardner, Josephus Daniels,
John Motley Morehead, and G.
B. Stockton received their first
political training.
Class officers were formerly
installed May, 1, just prior to
the spring holidays, along with
editors of publications and rep
resentatives to various debate
and publication boards. Twelve
men were chosen at this time to
fill four offices in each of the
three upper classes. The fresh
man posts are filled in the fall
quarter shortly after the con
clusion of rushing season. The
present president of the student
body supervises the election of
class officers as well as general
campus officials and it is the
general plan for the president
to call the "leaders of the two
major parties in the election to
gether for a discussion of the
election date, which is usually
placed late in March or the first
week in April.
Campaign Expenses
Campaign expenses are borne
by the candidates themselves and
there is no limits placed on the
extent of expenses to which a
party may go in distributing
literature and purchasing publi
city to place their men in the
campus eye. A twenty-cent fee
payed annually by each student
in the University covers the
cost of election.
Money accumulated by class
fees is carried by each fresh
man class through to its senior

year.
Fees are collected by the
business office along with tu
ition and matriculation fees at
time of registration. Thus the
business office acts as a bank
for the various classes, for the
treasurers only have control of
the finances of their respective
classes through vouchers which
are presented to draw expense
money. Each voucher must be
signed by two officers of the
class, one of whom is usually the
president, stating the exact
amount desired and the purpose
for which it is to be used. The
practice of submitting the pro-
f. . , , . xt. i 1.
tive committee of the class has!
been generally disregarded, and
the handling of the funds of
each class is at the discretion of
the officers.
No Check on Funds
There is no official check
made on the' amount of class
funds and the purpose for which
they are utilized. Money is
payed out for smokers, dances,
Yackety Yack pages, and special
ventures launched by the execu
tive committees, of the classes.
Any accumulation, of money at
the encTof the senior year of a
class is usually -voted toward a
gift to the University, though
this is not a regular practice,
since it is not generally known
whether there is any residue.
Candy for chaperones at class
affairs and flowers for sick stu
dents are also items.
The duties of the treasurer of
each class call for the designing
of a budget each year, but there
is .no record that such a prac
tice has been, followed. He is
also to keep a constant check on
the class books in the business
office, but there is likewise no
indication that this practice is
adhered to. Exception to the

Dr. Cobb Gives Paper
On Loess Soil Uses
Dr. Collier Cobb, professor of
geology and mineralogy, pre
sented a paper before the meet
ing of the Association of Ameri
can Geographers at Ypsilanti,
Michigan, Thursday, December
31, on "Present Uses of Eolian
Sands and Loessal Soils in the
Mississippi Basin." The paper
was illustrated by lantern slides
and .was discussed by two geolo
gists who had worked in China
since the publication of Profes
sor Cobb's paper on the loess of
the Yellow River valley, the re
suits in China being checked by
the studies in the Mississippi
basin.
Dr. Cobb had planned to re
turn by airplane through Col
umbus, Ohio, changing to an
other plan, and reaching North
Carolina from Atlanta. The
plane he had intended to take
ran into' a heavy fog south of
Columbus and was wrecked in
an effort to return to Columbus,
i
and all on bo&rd were lost.
NUMBER 74
SCHOLARSHIP TO
BE CREATED BY
" CONCERT MONEY
Phi Mu Alpha Will Use Proceeds
Of Galli-Curci. Performance
For Music Scholarship.
The Phi Mu Alpha, music fra
ternity, which is sponsoring. the
presentation of Mme. Amelita
Galli-Curci, soprano, here Jan
uary 27, in Memorial hall, is en
deavoring to begin a scholarship
to the University from the pro
ceeds of the concert. Accord
ing to Harold S. Dyer, head of
the music department, there are
many young men and women
who possess real ability and
talent in the field of music, yet
have not the money to finance
themselves at a university. It
is for the benefit of such per
sons as these that the scholar
ship is to be founded.
Music Scholarship Only
The scholarship is to be only
for those who are entering the
music department. Final plans
for the awarding of the scholar
ship have not yet been made, but
the ability and talent of the per
son will probably be the decid
inrfactors in the choice.
The Phi'-Mu Alpha fraternity
hopes i;hat from time to time by
means of concerts it may be able
to add to this fund and later
offer other scholarships. '
Artist Is Popular
The fraternity was fortunate
in obtaining Galli-Curci for. the
first of this new series of con
certs. She is on a coast to
coast tour of America before
leaving the United States for an
extended stay in Europe and ,
South Africa. She has not been
in America long, but so firmly
has she established herself in the
loye and admiring appreciation
of a vast public that no season
