LOCAL UBRARY IS
MADE CENTER BY
. RESEARCH GROUP
University Library Has Charge
Of Collecting Government
Documents for State.
The Umversitv lihrarv was
v
designated this week by the So
cial Science Research Council, as
the official o-nvemment docu-
o
ments' center for North Caro
lina. This council has named an
important library in each state
to preserve and collect complete
sets of the public documents and
related material originating
within the state.
The University library was
selected because it already pos
sesses the most comprehensive
collection in existence of Caroli
niana, including both official and
unofficial documents. These are
found" in the North Carolina
Room and the Rural Social Eco
nomics library.
Though the. collection of this
type of material for research
purposes by libraries in the past,
has generally been a matter of
chance, social scientists are be
ginning to realize its import
ance and to arrange for its preservation.

' A meeting of the executive
committee took place this week,
and the chief business was the
consideration of the kind of pro

Sigma Xi was formed for the
purpose of promoting research
in pure science. It is strictly
honorary and membership is re
stricted entirely to those who
have made some definite contri

FORREST TO READ
HIS LATEST PLAY
FORPLAYMAKE
Eminent English Actor Has Had
Varied Experiences in
Many Countries.
Belf ord Forrest, well-known
English actor, playwright and
director, has ) accepted an invi
tation from the Carolina Play-
makers to read his latest play,
How It All Began, at the Play-
makers theatre Sunday evening,
November 6.
Forrest has had a wide and
interesting career in the theatres
of both ' England and America.
His first engagements were with
a small English stock company,
which he joined immediately af
ter his graduation from Trinity
college, Dublin, thirty years ago.
He later acted in small parts
with the great English actress
Ellen Terry, and was for many
years a member -of the famous
stock company of Osmond
Tearle, father of Conway
Tearle. With Tearle, Forrest
played all over the British Isles
and in South Africa. In the lat
ter country he had many excit
ing adventures incident upon the
Boer troubles. In his London
experiences, Forrest once turned
down a part in one of Bernard
Shaw's earlier nlavs, because
Shaw was then an unknown up
start beneath the notice of a self-
respecting actor.
Lost Sheep is the best known
of Forrest's nlays. It had a bril
liant run on Broadway two sea
sons ae-o. and discovered the

Regarding Students' Attitude Toward
" The Football Team '.
AN EDITORIAL
With three, overwhelming de
feats against the football team
and only two ties, members of
the student body are becoming
somewhat down-hearted as to
the team's 'chances for the re
mainder of the season. They
are pessimistically pointing to
the fact that Carolina will do
well to keep from finishing the
year in the Big Five cellar po
sition. And some are even go
ing so far as to predict that un
less some super-natural forces
intervene the Tar Heels will not
register a single victory on the
entire schedule.
But these gloomy pessimists
are forgetting several important
factors which have entered into
making the season thus far ap
pear so unsuccessful for the Col
lins' eleven. When the fact is
considered that in the last four
games the team has faced with
out question some of the best
teams in the South, the record
is not as bad as it would, first
appear.
And even though the scores
give the impression that the
team was completely out-classed
in three of the contests, a tabu
lation of the total number of
first downs in all the games will
indicate that nothing is further
from true. As a matter of ac
tual count Carolina led its op
ponents in first-downs 51 to 25.
True this record does not place
the University team in the win
column. But it is conclusive
evidence that the Tar Heels
were not as badly trounced as
one would be led to believe after
glancing at the actual scores.
THE Daily Tar Heel does not

The University Y. M. C. A. is

A. graduate school in Nashville,
Tennessee; founder and builder
of Blue Ridge, the "Y" assembly

Chapel Hill churches are co

Dr. Weatherf ord will speak at

his message principally to stu

speak at the Baptist church to a
combined audience of the Young
People's Union (composed of the
young people's organizations of
all churches and the "Y" cab

both of these services.
On Monday Dr. Weatherford

college for four days of addresses.
intend to be a Pollyanna going
around trying to make everyone
happy and gay about the team.
Nor is this intended to be a pep
talk to the student body. But
the Tar Heel realizes the fact
that many of the student body
have not actually faced the facts
in this matter squarely and have
been unjustifiably disgruntled
over the Tar Heels' showing
thus far. And as a result they
have not given the team the
backing to which it is rightfully
entitled.
So far as material is concern
ed this year's squad is as good,
if not better, than any of those
of the last several seasons. But
no matter how good the squad
may be, it can not be expected
to achieve any sort of success
when it is encountered on all
sides by the scoffs and sneers
from pessimistic students.
The team got off to a bad start
by not living up to the pre-game
predictions and giving Wake
Forest the usual licking. Con
sequently a great many of the
one-time supporters have tended
to take the critical and pessimis
tic attitude toward the team.
They were not satisfied to broad
cast their feelings to their in
dividual friends but have taken
it upon themselves to condemn
the members of the team to their
faces. They intimate that Caro
lina this year has no team at all.
And as proof of this statement
these would-be football sages
are pointing to the fact that the
team continues to meet defeat
after defeat.
But these persons seem to for

CLARK ATTACKED
BY E. E. ERICSON
IN ADDRESS HERE
Socialist Group Is Told That the
Party Is Gaining Promi
nence in ThisJBtate.
Dr. E. E. Ericson of the de
partment of English told Social
ists assembled in Gerrardv hall
Wednesday night that the rise of
both the Socialist party and its
candidate for the presidency,
Norman Thomas, in this state
has been due largely to the reac
tion against biased and unfair
criticism of the party and its
leader.
Sketching briefly the uphill
struggle of the Socialist party in
this state against anti-radical
movements, the speaker charged
that David Clark, editor of the
Southern Textile Bulletin, suc
ceeded in having Carl Taylor of
State college discharged, osten
sibly on the grounds of economy,
but actually for radicalism. He
stated that Clark offered finan-
cial inducement to persons . m
-a i
Chapel Hill who would give him
information as " to professors
here connected with radical
movements.
Says Attacks Aid Party
He indicated that the election
board's antagonism toward put
ting the Socialist candidate's
name on the ballot making it
necessary to have ten thousand
names signed to a petition sup
porting the. Socialist party,
spurred the party to activity
and stimulated state-wide inter
est in Socialism. It was fur
ther suggested that the ill-found
ed attacks of Clark on Thomas,
charging that he advocated
atheism, communism, and free
love, brought the latter many au
diences who came to scoff and
remained to pray.
Many indications," stated
Dr. Ericson, "point to a fuller
appreciation of the Socialist par
ty as an intellectual and socia'
influence and to an awakening
to the worth of Norman Thom
as. The result of the straw bal
lot conducted by, the Daily Tar
Heel bears this out, as do many
requests for Socialist literature
from throughout the state." It
was stated that the great mass
of people are gaining a clearer
view of Socialism that workers

Solid South Predicted ,
If the returns from nine large

criterion, the south will again
