U. Saturday from Raleigh and probably from Winston-Salem. The program will, however, be artificial since the state stations will get their information from New York by. means of wire and the announcer will quote statistics to the tune of phonograph records of roaring crowds. Believing that that part of the. student body which re mains in Chapel Hill over the week-end had rather see the game on the University's grid-graph system in Memorial hall, the Daily Tar Heel is asking the student .body, by. means of the C. P. Us electric voting machines, whether or not they believe seeing the grid-graph machine in operation will be worth the admittance fee of a quarter. The quarter is charged to cover the cost of operation, including the. opera tors' fees and telegraphic expenses. If you haven't yet tried the electric voter, that in itself will be worth a few minutes at the YMCA this morning. More important, unless several hundred express themselves, the paper will not be financially able to venture the program. o Conversation Piece' The professor had been lecturing to his English class for some fifteen minutes. Then he stopped speaking and glanced about the room. "Where is your book?" he said to one of his students. "I have no book," was the reply. "Didn't I tell you to get a book last class period?" "What if you have no money to buy a book?" "Please leave the classroom and don't return until you have a book!" The student made a final effort, "I don't see why I should have to buy a book if I know that I may look on with some one else, and can do my work properly." "There is the door!" . This happened yesterday in a classroom. o Rooters In The Aisles At the game Saturday there were over a hundred students sitting in the aisles, a greater number than that were stand ing behind the student section. In spite of the fact that the Athletic association has made a definite step forward in its handling of student seating at football games there still rer main a few improvements which must be made if the stu dents are to be seated properlyv First, there were not enough student seats provided, as has been the case at both games here this year. Second, the ticket system was not executed fully. . The student got a ticket, but he could not claim his seat, in sev eral instances, at any rate. The ushers said that the situation was so confused that it was impossible to put everybody in the right seat. There was a reason for this: About an hour before the game, those in charge of the new card system, saw empty spaces in the card section. So they asked students sitting in other sections to fill in these, seats. Then, when other stu dents came to get their tickets, some of them were given seats in the card section, and the ushers refused to unseat those already there. These difficulties could be overcome by providing more seats, giving out card section seats before any others, and giving the student the seat his ticket calls f or. W. K. FJBOFILIB CARROLL McGAUGHEY AMERICAN PATRIOT 1 Smuggler, mutineer, captain's mate of a cutthroat crew, and beachcomber, so reads the record of Cecil Sanford, a senior at the University this year who hails from Laurinburg, N. C, and who works in the English department. At the end of the 1936-37 school year, Sanford, then a junior, was dis gusted with himself and with" school. He took out most of his disgust on himself because he had not been able to decide between law and journalism as his life's work. One thing though he was sure of the fact that he want ed to travel, and to travel a great deaL So he took a year off from his studies to see what he could of the world, and to decide if possible what course he is going to follow after he gets his degree. . Having little money, Sanford bummed his way to Baltimore, and although he had no previous experi ence as a sailor, talked his way into a job on a tramp freighter as an able-bodied seaman. On the coastwise voyage of the freighter around to Houston, arid back again to Marcus, Pa., Cecil gained the experience and knowledge as a seaman that was to stand him in good stead in his later adventures. Back in Baltimore, he signed on another freighter of better class bound for Australia, by way of the Galapagos; Marquesas; and the Tua motu Archipelago, which is a group of tiny islands of the south Pacific, many of them uninhabited, uncharted, and unclaimed by any country." When the ship reached Sydney, Cecil obtained shore leave, and, through contacts made by letters of introduction which he carried, was able to enter into the social life "of the city. He enjoyed his stay there more than in any other port of call. "The port of Sydney is only second to that of Rio in .beauty, according to Sanford. From Sydney to Adelaide, and from there to Whyalla, the freighter pro ceded, unloading part of its cargo at each port. In late November, the ship reloaded at Melbourne and Sydney, and headed back to the United States. On the re turn voyage, it stopped at Pitcairn island for a courtesy call. Cecil was able to talk with the inhabitants of the island that was made famous re cently by the book, "Mutiny on the Bounty," as the island where Fletcher Christian took his band of mutineers. The sole American on the island is an old man from Boston who went to Pitcairn as a boy on one of the New Bedford whaling vessels. Sanford talked also to the New Zealander who received much praise recently forhis perserverence in getting a radio mes sage through to the outside world when the lives of the colony were threatened by an epidemic of typhoid fever last spring. From Pitcairn, through the Panama canal, stopping briefly at Jamaica, the freighter returned to New York on January 1. Cecil's wanderlust was not satisfied but tie had about two month's pay in his pockets. The show season in New York was in full swing, so he took a sailor's holiday and saw the city for three weeks, and wound up on the waterfront broke. Sanford had to .eat, so he hopped another freighter headed this time for the West Indies with a general cargo. He planned to return to school sometime during the spring quarter to arrange his courses and to see about a job in one of the dormitories, but his plans were altered by a chain of events that would be hard to dupli cate even in fiction. . In the port of Mayaguez, he again obtained a' shore leave and went into the interior for a good look around. Unfortunately he overstayed his leave and returned- to find that the ship had left without him. He had only a few dollars to his name, but he got along for several days as a beachcomber until a captain of an outbound schooner signed him on as an able-bodied seaman. "To understand my experience on that boat," Cecil said in his account, "you must realize that most of those little vessels fly no flag, and are ruled by power alone. The captain of this boat was a weak sort of man, who had little authority over his crew. "On the third day out the crew split up into three different factions, each wanting to go to a different port. I had to take some stand, and soon found myself a mutineer. We were defeated, and I, along wth three others, was lashed to the foremast for half a day until we came to the next small island where we were put ashore." Describing his three companions with masterful understatement as "uncongenial," Sanford said that he parted" company with them immedi ately. .For several days again he lived as a beachcomber. Then another schooner, of about the same size and HORIZONTAL 1, 5 Revolution ary war hero. 10 Stratagem. 11 Transposed. 12 Grandparental 13 Born. 14 To weave a sweater. 15 By. 16 Form of "be." 18 Falsehood. 20 Exists. 22 Fiber knots. 24Upon.. -25 He iff still famous as .a Answer to Previous Pnzzle IG'EIN Ell iTjU.NINiEfY cMJD lUitliLY a wjE pngl QQm e iv cqsjeCo O D EpftfEtSirtC aIRLJeXTl W'A'Q R A N It r 1 Sj Tj A &L j C ID D'RQAfN PIT lie" TALJN E SlTjA LIE 5 TU6IRM N OiE'P pE S HA M At 1cIa1r D.AM SJLJ EiL AlTtE DlJEIA'P TMN JPL U R AiLlSn AjVIA PiUlGtT (Lit iSITnr OlRSM EIP 30 To gossip. 32 Liquid part of fat 33 52 weeks. 35 Female fowl. 36 Shoemaker's tool. 37 Light brown. 39 Inlet '40 To scoff. 42 Scolds con stantly. 44 Bight. 46 Impolite. 48 To stupefy. 49 To subsist. 50 Ulcers. 52 To drink dog fashion, 54 Flavor. 56 Magic. 57 Era.. 53 Assam silk worm. 59 He was a night, 60 To' bow. 61 He gave the .on this ride that the enemy were Coming VERTICAL ; IPair. 2 French measures. 3 Consumer. 4 Sheltered place. 5 Railroad. 6 Mover's truck. 7 Bad. 8 Proportion. 9 Ell. 11 Passage through. 14 Military cap. 15 His silver are prized works cf art 17 Residue. 19 He was also an . 21 Cavity. 23 Eye tumor. 25 Carolech 26 Promised. 27 Measure of - cloth. 23 Musical note. 29 Feminine -pronoun, j 31 Masculine- pronoun, 34 Sloth. 36 One that abuses. 38 Seasickness. -41 Goddess of peace, 43 Knot inr wood, 45 Moldings. 47 Enthusiasm. 48 Hastened.

Sanford shot the skipper a cock- and-bull story, probably with a finesse born of late dormitory bull sessions of he preceding year, about his ability as a seaman, and so impressed the captain with his fierceness, for he had a two month's growth of beard, and his clothes were in rags, that the captain signed him on as first mate. "I'd never even had a sextant in my hand," said Cecil, "but there is really little need for much knowledge of navigation when sailing among the small group of islands as they are so close together that you can steer from one to the other by taking bear ings and then holding a compass point. "Myreal job was handling the crew, and they were a worse lot than my mutineer acquaintances. On top of that there was a woman aboard, and women you know are poison aboard small ships." It developed that the vessel was en gaged in smuggling gasoline from Mexico into the West Indies to avoid the high taxes. Had he stayed with the crew until they reached Mexico, Sanford might have been able to carry out his plan of returning to school last spring, but by the time the boat reached Jamaica and anchored to take on fresh water, he was fed up with having to sleep with one eye open to see that his throat wasn't slit, so he told the cap tain that he was leaving the ship, and was rowed ashore by two of the na tive crew. Once ashore, the two men jumped on him to take what little money he had. A free-for-all scuffle ensued with a little knife play, but there were no serious results. When the schooner had left, San ford made the acquaintance of an old Chinese gentleman with whom he stayed for two "weeks. "The Chinese, by the way," he said, "are the backbone of Jamaica, and this old gentleman was one of the finest. He treated me like a king, and we became the closest of friends." By this time Sanford was more than ready to come home, but freighters are wary about taking on men in Jamaica. Finally however, he talked his way again into a job aboard a ship bound for the west coast of the United States. . After touching at Puget Sound, and Seattle for a load of lumber, the ship made its way around the coast and set its course for 'New York. "I was at the wheel," Sanford said, "when the harbor lights of New York came into view. After 15 months of wandering few vistas have looked bet ter to me. "Of course all this has been just a chronological account of the trip. The stories I have to tell about my ex periences would easily fill a book. I may write that book someday." After landing, Cecil spent a month at his home in Laurinburg, and re turned this fall to the University to take up his courses where he left off.

McCormaek and O -Berry of the Automatic Voting Machine coporation Were in town last week showing the CPU boys how to conduct their poll on ev erything in general. The day they left, the two men chimed, "It's certainly heen pleasant here not having to mingle with dirty old poli ticians." V G Somewhere in today's Tar Heel is a tiny item by Louis Harris about Margaret Sanger's appearance here Friday. Mr. Lawrence of the sociology department issued the following statement: "Mrs. 'Sanger, birth control expret, will review the present situation." Dean ftouse later told Report er Harris, that the administra tion couldn't consider letting the student body out of classes to hear her review of "the present situation." V G Sorority rushing during the past few years has consisted mainly of tea parties, sandwich parties, and picnic parties. This year a new feature was added quite unintentionally by the Chi Omegas. It was an auto mobile drive one night last week at University Lake. So great was the chattering that only a few heard a splash across the lake late in the even ing. But when the party ended Nancy Smith found her poor car floundering in the water she is going to have to drink. A wrecker car hauled out the runaway, and, once dry, it purred happily away.
