At Meeting of Sigma Xi.
Everything in Chapel Hill i3
in readiness for a social event
that promises to be one of the
best, affairs of its kind ever
staged at the University, the
Junior-Senior dance set. The
huge Tin Can, which' has been
the scene of all sorts of events
from basketball games and track
meets to class-registrations and
flower shows, will be converted
into a huge ballroom on the
nights of May 13 and 14.
Hundreds of beautiful girls
throughout the south have been
sent invitations and, judging
the number of acceptances
that have already been received,
the men of both classes need
fear no lack of partners.

The final meeting of the North

tiation of new members, will
take place in Graham Memorial
Mn-nrlav eveninff. May 23. At
6:45 there will be a supper
which is to be followed by the
the meeting.
Dr. A. S. Pearse, professor of
biology at Duke University, is to
deliver an address on some phase
of his researches, which will be
illustrated with lantern slides.
Dr. Pearse, one of the leading
biologists of the country, came to
Duke from Wisconsin, where he
was one of the most influential
members of Sigma Xi, serving
as president of the chapter for
one vear. At present he is ac
tively affiliated with the North
Carolina chanter.
An explorer and scientist,
more interested in actual outdoor
work than the laboratory, Dr.
pearse will leave on an air expe
dition to Yucatan with Dr. Hall
toward the end of May.
For two short years the Uni- j
versity of North Carolina boast
ed a mascot representative of its
spirit in competitive athletics.
As "Dean" G.-H. Paulsen recalls
it, enthusiasm ran high for the
success of Carolina teams during
those brief seasons,' and unpre
cedented support was given
them on the football field.
The first mascot to wear the
blue and white was "Rameses,"
a 212-pound ram. According to
Dean Paulsen, Rameses was
bought in Knoxville, Tennessee,
and made a long overland trip to
arrive at the University in the
fall of 1924. A large open pen
was built for Rameses on the
space that the Tin Can now oc
cupies. Being naturally wild,
the ram raised quite a kick about
his confinement; in fact, the
Dean intimates that it finally
caused Rameses' death.
Rameses II Appears
Two years later, in 1926, an
other Rameses was made pos
sible due to the efforts of Kay
Kyser. On the present site of
the Sutton building, the cheer
leader sold tickets for a lottery.
The lucky number was to win an
automobile, the identity of whose
donor Dean Paulsen refused to
reveal.
With the money raised by sell
ing chances on the automobile,
Kyser bought another ram, and
Rameses II, successor to the de

ceased, made his first appearance
in the last football game of the
season, which was played in
Charlottesville against the Uni
versity of Virginia. Rameses
II, says Dean Paulsen, had to be
persuaded to join the enthusias-
ic cheerers by the use of viol
ence, for he objected so strong
y to leaving the field where he
was allowed to run wild, that
eight students were required to
put him on the train. Rameses
rode home from Charlottesville
on a truck.
This mascot lasted through the
football season of 1926, and dur
ing basketball season, the ram
was shown more attentionthan
ever. On one occasion the Tin
Can was decorated especially in
his honor. However, in Febru
ary of the following year, Rame
ses became sick for some un
known reason and died shortly
thereafter. - '
No Rameses III
Unfortunately, there was no
Rameses III. Kyser made two
trips to secure another mascot
but was unsuccessful. To re
place Rameses II, Kyser never
theless developed the idea of an
organized cheering section,
which resulted in the nationally
known "Cheerios."
From the testimonies of "old
grads," the Cheerios ably con
tinued to keep alive the school

The first hearing of the men
charged with holding up George
Coleman and shooting Ashby
Penn, University student, in the
ensuing chase, will take place be
fore Judge C. P. Hinshaw in re
corder's court Friday night. Pro
ceedings have been delayed due
to the fact that Jack Thomas, one
of the men implicated in the case
is being held in New York. Ex
tradition papers have been is
sued on the state of New York
for the release of Thomas into
the hands of officers who left
North. Carolina Monday for the
purpose of bringing back the al
leged bandit.
Three men have been arrested
in connection with the attempt
ed robberv and shooting, the
fourth man being still, at large.
The arrested men are: Elwood
Johnson, Lawrence Armstrong,
and Jack Thomas. The man who
has thus far kept out of the
hands of the law is Robert
Thompson, former Mount Holly
police chief.

SENIORS VOTE TO
STABIM FUND
AS GffTOF 1932
Method of Contributions Will Be
Carried Out by Hope Pledge
Donations Every Year.
At a smoker in Swain hall
Monday night, the senior class
voted to make its class gift to
the University in the form of
money rather than as a physi
cal marker or ornament as has
been customary in previous
years. The present funds avail
able from the class treasury will
be held intact for the class, to
be disposed at some future time
in accordance with its wishes.
The principal reason why no
specific gift is being made now
is the fact that the class feels
that it does not have a sufficient
amount of money on hand to
purchase a gift in keeping with
its wishes. Therefore the pres
ent money will be held and will
be added to each year by the
members of the class until it
has reached a large sum, when
it will be used as the class de
cides. "Hope Pledge" Planned
The method of contributing to
the fund each year is to be car
ried out by means of a "hope
pledge." The pledges are made
payable to the Alumni Loyalty
Fund. The seniors will sign
such pledges, for any amount
which they hope they can con
tribute each year, the due date
of the first payment to- be at
such time in the future as the
individual feels will be most con
venient. The clerical routine of
collecting the pledges from
year to year will be handled by
the Alumni Loyalty Fund.
No amount which each senior
is expected to contribute each
year has been suggested, this
being a matter for each mem
ber of the class to decide for
himself and herself. Present
indications are that the annual
imounts will range from one dol
lar to twenty-five dollars. It is
