CAMPUS UPHOLDS NO FLOWER RULE OF GERMAN CLUB Organizations And Coeds Say Nice But Too Much Expense The subject of flowers for girls at University dances has again been brought up, and again flowers will not be sent. The German club, University dance committee, and the Grail have voted against the flowers this year, and last year's student body voted almost unanimously against theni. Several fraternities on the Hill this year have voted on the action of the different clubs, and a few reports have already been received by the Daily Tar Heel. Sigma Nu, Phi Gamma Delta, Zeta Psi, and ATO have voted unanimously to uphold the German club's decision, and it is thought that several others have had similar votes. COED OPINION Yesterday girl leaders on the cam pus were confronted with the ques tion, "What do you think of the Ger man club's action on flowers at the dances?" ''. - . The most ardent devotee of flowers of the girls was Olive Cruikshank, who said she thinks "flowers are fine, and girls sure do appreciate them, but we do realize they're expensive," Bill Malone thinks "its too bad that the grand old custom of corsages has to be the expense that is cut out of big dance week-ends, because it's a big thrill for a girl to get flowers." However, she thinks that girls should be satisfied without them. Katherme Fleming would "just as soon have a daisy as a corsage," and Mary Crockett Evans, back on the campus for a visit, says about flowers, "I'm ag'in 'em." ; At this afternoon's tea dance dates will be informed that the boys are not sending flowers, and if received, the girls' are requested not to wear them. v To Guide You This Weekend ARTHUR COMPTON WILL PRESENT M'NAIR LECTURES Addresses On "Man's Approach To God" On November 14-16 Dr. Arthur H. Compton will present the McNair lectures at the University this year it was learned yesterday, lie will base his addresses on the main topic of Man's Approach to God. Oe November 14 he will begin the series speaking on the subject of Science, Religion and the Growth of Man. He will speak on Human Freedom and Physi cal Law November 15. On No vember 16 he will complete the series with Man's Relation, to God. . This lectureship was founded through a bequest made by Rev. John C. McNair of the class of;1849 which became available to the University in 1906. The series was inaugurated by Francis H. Smith of the University of Virginia. The will states that the University shall obtain some prominent man of science to deliver before all students a course of lectures showing the mu tual bearing of science and theology on each other. The fund provides for an honorarium of $1,000 to the au thor of the lectures, the remainder being used for publication of the work. COMMITTEE IN CHARGE A committee has been selected to take charge of these lectures with Dr. Gustave A. Harrer, head of the Latin department, as chairman. The four other members are Dean Wil liam deB. MacNider, -Dr. Archibald Henderson, Dean F. F. Bradshaw, and Dr. Howard K. Beale. This committee has decided to have the lectures every two years. The last series was presented in May, 1937, by Professor Thomas which have recently been published. Dr. Compton, this year's speaker, is well .qualified for the work. He received his Ph.D. at the age of 24 and since lias spent almost all his time in scientific work. He holds hon orary degrees from eight universities and in 1927 received the Nobel prize in Physics for his work with X-rays. He is also actively interested in re ligion, being elected as chairman of the Layman's Missionary Movement in 1937. PersistentFelloiv But Still No Soap Mr. R. Dentfan was a very persist ant person. The other day the ath letic association received a letter from him asking for a few tickets to the game Saturday. But, the athletic association had sold out. So they wired him no soap. , Mr. R. Dentfai was a little dis gusted with the world in general, but he still had a recourse. He wired President Frank Graham. President Frank was sorry he couldn't pull any strings for Mr. R. Dentfan. Now would have been the time for all good folks to give up in discour agment, but not our public. He wired the governor. His excellency stroked his chin for a moment eyed the little yellow slip and sent his re grets. They had given him the .last seat in the stadium and he was not going to give it up for anyone, not even for a vote in the next election. .... Mr. R. Dentfan was very dis couraged, but, he fs a pretty smart guy so you might see him peeking through the branches of the trees back of the stadium tomorrow . . . . at least that's how the story goes. Dr. Frank Makes Talk President Frank Graham was in Charlotte yesterday to speak to a state-wide teachers meeting on "Fed eral Aid to Education." He made a similar talk last week in Columbia, South Carolina. - "America's Number One r .-:-:-Xv. f F '-i ! k & ' M w - 5 ;M Si n4f ',- ,0 Scene from Erskine Caldwell's "Tobacco Road" to be played in Chapel Hill on November.9 by a Broadway road company.

"COLLEGE YEARS" MAKES 1TSDEBUT New Magazine Will Be Clearinghouse This week appeared the first issue of a new magazine called "College Years." Published four times a year, its purpose is to reflect undergraduate life by articles, short stories, poems, and cartoons written by students or by prominent individuals interested in ! university problems. According to the preface, "College Years" is not a humorous or literary publication, but "will serve as a great clearing house for the new and pro gressive that sprouts in the fertile soil of the student's imagination." Contributions from all undergraduates are welcome, if they deal with some phase of the education world. The price is 25 cents per issue or 75 cents for a yearly subscription. The issue is now on sale on the newsstands and will probably be sold in the dor mitory stores. Jesse Lewis, at the Daily Tab Heel office, will head the sales organization of the magazine on the campus while Carroll McGaughey will handle the editorial representa tion.

PEP RALLY STARTS AT 6:30 WITH TORCH PARADE i Students Asked To ? Wear Pajamas, Meet At Graham Memorial Torches flaming on a dark ened campus will fan the flame3 of Carolina spirit to a last-minute pitch as pajama-clad stu dents parade tonight in a final pre-game demonstration. The parade will start from Graham Memorial at 6:30 and lights on the campus will blink to add to the force of the spectatcle. Headed by a police escort, University band and cheer leaders the crowd will pour across the campus, through town and back to Fetzer field. Here, fireworks will set off a bon fire and national and campus celebri ties will make predictions as to the outcome of the Blue Devil invasion.

All Carolina cheerleaders for the past 15 years have been invited "to attend. BROADCAST FAR AND WIDE Fish Worley and a group of stu dents will do a take-off on the radio programs of distinguished alumnus, Kay Kyser. The University club has made arrangements for WPTF, Ra leigh, to broadcast a half hour of the program starting at seven o'clock. Club President Jimmy Davis says that a larger quantity of fireworks have been bought to add to the glitter and color of the rally. Swain hall will open at 4:15 today in order that everyone may eat in time to assemble at Graham Mem orial before 6:30. Wood for the bon fire is furnished by David Connor of American Tobacco company. Torches will be furnished by the Book Ex change and University club. SHEIKS' PURPOSE IS TO UNITE FR ATS Sophomores Make Up Social Clubs "The Sheiks tend to break down antagonistic spirit among fraternities at certain periods of the school year," President Jimmy Davis, pointed out yesterday when asked to explain the organization. "The Sheiks, the 13 club and the Order of the Minataurs (Bulls) bring together sophomore fraternity men in a purely social way and are dedicated to sophomores . . . The three organi zations are similar in nature to Gim ghoul and Gordon's Head groups which are open to juniors and seniors, not sophomores," Davis further added. STUDIE AND BILLY AGREE President Stuart Ficklen of the 13 club and President Billy Hines of the Bulls both agree with . DavSs, who reports that he is of the opinion that the initiation ceremonies of the three groups are beneficial and that the value received in being a .member compensates the membership fees and the unusual campus ceremonies. The three groups will end their week-long initiations between halves of the Carolina-Duke football game when a mass demonstration will bo featured. "Sten-on-It" Brown Is First Arrival One of the first arrivals for the Carolina-Duke tilt was "Step-on-It Brown, former waterboy for the Carolina eleven, who pulled in on the bus at noon yesterday. Four years ago, "Step-on-It" was injured at the Carolina-Virginia game at Charlottesville. He was in bad shape. Returning from the gov ernment hospital in Alabama, "Step-on-It" said, Tse come home ' tuh see our boys beat Duke.
