GEORGE LAWRENCE HELP TO ORANGE COUNTY'S POOR . o y Welfare Officer Plays Part of St. And White Families yhich Find Themselves in Need of His Careful and "Slow-But-Sure" Handling. -o ' - ' ' By Starlin Whitaker His. fellow townsmen know him as "George," but to the in numerable persons about Orange county to whom he is known as 'welfare officer' he is "Mr..

When George, Lawrence came to Chapel. Hill he came for the sole purpose of obtaining his master s degree. He had, when he -matriculated, what he con sidered was an A. B. from Co lumbia University. Sometime after he . had begun his studies he was called to the dean's office to account for that degree. The dean of the Graduate 'school ex plained that since the degree was only an honorary one .given, to all men in good standing who enlisted for service in "the World War it would be necessary for him first to obtain his A. B. In preference to doing work which he thought had. been completed the dean very leniently told him. he might take the first offer or finish a total of twenty full courses. George Lawrence took him up on that last offer and was granted his master's in 1928. Numerous Duties Meanwhile, he had acted as student welfare officer and had been connected with departmen tal work of a sociological nature in the IJniversity and was sup- porting himself ano! his lately acquired wiie. it was not unui about 1928 that he began work as welfare officer in Orange county. .

Thomas Wright, former ly assistant rector of the Chapel of the Cross and . closely con nected with University life, de parted from Chapel Hill during the holidays for New York, where he accepted a new posi tion offered him by the national council of the Episcopal Church. Wright's position is that of act ing secretary for college work all over the country. Wright came to Chapel Hill after completing work in two institutions, Sewanee and Vir ginia Theological Seminary, at both places making an enviable record. While in Chapel Hill, Wright's work was connected with the fourth Province of the Episcopal .Church with head quarters in Chapel Hill. STUDENT LOANS TOTAL $25,568 IN FALL PERIOD Loans to 424 Students Exhaust Fund for Short Term Notes This Quarter. Student loans totalling $25, 568.22 were made to 424 Uni versity students during the past ian quarter, according to a re port issued yesterday by F. F. Bradshaw, dean of students. In dividual loans, including both the long and short-term funds, averaged in amount approxi mately sixty dollars. According to the report, there are apparently enough funds to meet the demand for long-term loans for the -remainder of the quarter. The supply available during the final school session, however, will depend on the col lection on previous loans and in terests, and special gifts. At the present, only funds .for long-term loans are available. j The Hogue and Seely funds, which supplied the necessary credit for short-term loans, have been completely exhausted. These lesser loans average in amount about fifteen dollars and need no other endorsement than the borrower's signature. En dowments and gifts are the only means of replenishing the sup- piy. Students have been urged in the past to try to secure loans in their own communities rather than from the University, due to the limited and inadequate funds of the school. However, an ex tensive loan work has been car ried on through the office of the dean of students. To secure University loans, students must obtain from the dean of student's office a blank note, which must be signed by the borrower and two other per sons as security. The last two signatures must be certified as genuine by a notary public. The borrower must then get a let ter from a register of deeds or a clerk of court stating that the two securities are worth the face of the' note over and above homestead and encumbrances. The note, properly signed and executed, is. returned to the dean of students, who then takes the. j necessary steps to complete the : loan. All notes bear interest semi annually at the legal rate of six percent, such income being add ed to the loan funds. In order to comply with the terms of the donors of the various funds and to increase the number to whom these notes are of service, the ' (Continued on last page) JOHN J.PARKER SUCCEEDS LEWIS AS ALUMNI HEAD Dr. Hubert Haywood and Ray Armstrong Chosen New Vice Presidents of Association.

Some time during the year special exhibit cases will show a collection' of North Carolina minerals arranged by Colonel Joseph Hyde Pratt and a collec tion of arrowheads found near Chapel Hill.' "
