It WEATHER FORECAST: INCREASING CLOUDINESS, AND WARMER GRAIL DANCE BYNUM GYMNASIUM 9:00-12:00 VOLUME XL CHAPEL HILL, N. O, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1932 NUMBER 99 W J T AUDIBLE LIGHT IS SUBJECT OF TALK BY JOMTAYLOR Consulting Engineer Will Con duct Scientific Experiments In Memorial Hall Monday. Some of the wonders of mod ern science, particularly those relating to light and sound, will he displayed by John Bellamy Taylor, consulting engineer of the General Electric Company, of Schenectady, N. Y., in his ad dress on "Audible Light" Mon day evening in Memorial hall. The novel experiments which Taylor will conduct will be ex plained by him as results of per fectly natural scientific laws. He deals mainly with one type of the phenomena that, whereby light is translated into sound. . His dominant interest has long been acoustics and music, and Tie has rendered valuable service in the field of talking moving -pictures as well as in the co-ordination of telephone systems with power transmission lines. He is especially noted for pro ducing seemingly astounding -effects with a photoelectric of "eye" tube. This is the kind of demonstration that he will con duct in his address, causing the photo tube to "see" light from various sources. The light in stantly sets upwithin the tube feeble electrical currents which, amplified by vacuum tubes, are converted into sound waves heard through a loud speaker to which ..the w apparatus is . electri cally connected. . . By his use of vacuum tubes, Taylor gives a working demon stration of some of the most sig nificant of the new tools that Jrave been developed since the dawn of the electrical era. The address will give a clear indica tion of the certain possibilities Tvhich reside within the newest types of vacuum tubes. REPRESENTATIVES ARE CHOSEN FOR CO MMGj)EBATES Two More Contests This Spring Will Be Conducted on Oregon Plan. At the meeting of the debate group Thursday evening it was announced that Dan Lacy, Mc Bride Fleming-Jones, and John "Wilkinson will represent the University in the debate with New York university. Lacy will make the constructive speech, Fleming-Jones will conduct the cross examination, and Wilkin son will deliver the rebuttal. The debate will be conducted on the Oregon Plan, and will take place April 6, the subject to be dis cussed being phrased : Resolv ed, that Socialism has more to offer the people than Capital ism. In the debate with Western Reserve, scheduled for March 31, the subject, .Resolved: That Capitalism as a plan of eco nomic organization . is unsound, will he argued by Don Sea well and E. E. Ericson, who will at tack capitalism, and by Ed Lan ier who will support our pres ent economic system. The rea son for this split debate is that Western Reserve had a man worthy to make the trip but who could not conscientiously sup port the capitalist system.

Baity of the school of engineering attended a meeting of the Ten Year plan committee for North Carolina at Charlotte Thursday. The pur pose of the Ten Year plan is to "bring in wealth, create wealth, and enable the state to retain wealth." Dean Baity headed a committee which is working on industrial and agricultural re search. This committee selected several projects for immediate action and others to be regarded as "pending." .It will submitt to the board a suggestion -that a campaign be started at once to bring about the consumption of more milk in order to promote the dairy in dustry and to better general health conditions throughout the state. The publication of an econom ic primer for use in state schools, the establishment of 1 farm in dustries, and the promotion of curb markets in towns and cities were also adopted at the meet ing. Tyre C. Taylor of Raleigh, its originator, said that it would be incorporated into a working organization by the beginning of spring.

Hamilton Hobgood, president pf the class, was unanimously chosen to be chief among these leaders. To assist him the following were named: Adrian Daniel, Harry Finch, F. W. Slusser, Tom Watkins, Tom Rose, and Haywood Weeks. The president pf the class is traditionally chosen without opposition to lead the dances, but a "frame-up" is organized to elect the six assistants. There is a superstition about suc cess in the election by a "frame-up" of both the assistant dance leaders and the senior superlatives. No such "frame up" has ever been successful in the general spring elections.

The Rt. Rev. Thomas C. Darst, bishop of the Eastern Carolina diocese, who is to preach tomor row morning at 11 :00 o'clock in the Episcopal church, will ad dress the student forum at 7:00 o'clock in the evening on the sub ject, "What Constitutes Suc cess." Opportunity will be given to meet Bishop Darst at the parish house tea tomorrow afternoon, to which townspeople and students are invited. Jn 1928 Bishop Darst was hon ored with a D.D. degree from the University. Since 1915 he has been bishop of the Eastern Carolina diocese. He is chair man of the national committee on evangelism of his church and is an active leader in the Red Cross and social service work of this state. When Bishop Darst appeared in the pulpit here last year, he was accompanied by three stu dents from the Virginia Theolog ical Seminary. Rev. A. S. Law rence, Episcopal rector, has an nounced that another group of students from that institution will probably come here after Easter to conduct a series of ser vices. GORDON STRESSES SUMS SPENT FOR UPKEEP OF ARMS Extension Secretary Declares Armaments Fail to Protect Life and Property. In his talk on world disarma ment yesterday morning, Linley V. Gordon, extension secretary, made the startling statement to assembly that $8,000.00 every minute during the Geneva Con ference sessions was. being ex pended upon armaments by those very nations represented there for the purpose of disar mament. The United States is spending a huge sum every year in pre paring for war, Gordon pointed out, and that sum exceeds the amount which the country had been spending previous to the World War. Victories of the past war are purely Pyrrhic, ac cording to Gordon, for "every nation that defeated Germany," he averred, "is "On the bread-line today. Yet, every one of them is spending at least seventy-five per cent of its national budget preparing for war!" 1 On the subject of debts, Gor don declared that England, in order to pay its debts, would have to pay, out $500,000 daily for three generations, while Ger many would have to pay $1,000, 000 daily for six decades. "From the cost of war," the speaker pointed out, "it is not difficult to see that the building up of superfluous armaments is eco nomically destructive." He set forth the fallacy of the idea that war is a means of pro tecting life and property, and added that the one and one-quarter million Englishmen who are buried in France reduces to an absurdity the idea of plunging into a war for the sake of pro tecting the lives of citizens.

' ALUMNI WILL AH) IN STUDENT LOAN FUND CAMPAIGNS Clubs in Greensboro and Durham To Gather Next Week to Make Drives. Practical results of the resolu tion passed at the General Alumni Assembly last week will be demonstrated when the Greensboro and Durham alumni clubs gather next week to take action on the emergency student loan fund. These are the first of a series of meetings which are scheduled for the principal alumni centers throughout the state. President .Frank P. Gra ham is to speak at each of these gatherings on the financial status of 'the University. It is also very likely large alumni groups outside of the state will meet for the purpose of assist ing needy students. J. Maryon Saunders, execu tive alumni secretary, is making necessary arrangements with the presidents of local alumni clubs for dates and speakers for the meetings projected. Each of these meetings will be followed by an intense canvass of alumni and friends of the University in the several towns by committeemen to be appoint ed at the session of the alumni group in each locality. Felix A. Grisette, director of the Alumni Loyalty Fund, and the fund council will supervise the work of these local committees. ' As a further part of the state wide campaign a special com mittee of former University stu dents who borrowed from the loan fund will solicit all former borrowers. They will attempt to persuade them to give to the emergency student loan a sum equal to that which they bor rowed as students. It is estimat ed that this special canvass will include over 3000 graduates of the University.. SIMPLE SERVICE MARKS FUNERAL 0FXCBTO1 Rites Prepared by Rev. W. D. Moss Read by Bradshaw and Comer.
