THE ONLY COLLEGE DAILY IN THE SOUTHEAST- Z 525 VOLUME XL VII EDITORIAL PHONE 4JJ1 CHAPEL HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1938 SUSIKESS PHONE U6 NUMBER 50 rapla o Reaiet Battle Of Rams MM Bom Men elf -Help Advisory Committee To Ask House To Favor Poll Results Voting almost 4-l in favor of the -three questions put to them, the resi dents of the campus dormitories last aright approved of soliciting by self help students in the dorm rooms. Shortly after the votes had been tabu lated, Bill Cole announced that the student advisory committee would Tecommend to the dean of the admin istration that the students' sentiments be adhered to. The first interrogation which the dorm students answered was if they .approved the University's regulation which prohibits commercial solicitors irom canvassing dormitory rooms. The polling was heavy here, with 936 in favor, while 191 opposed. The second question led to the clos est voting. 749 students favored the proposal that self-help students, ap proved by the University Self-help committee, be allowed to canvass dor mitory rooms as representatives of commercial firms, while 389 were against such a provision. APPROVE SUBSCRIPTION To the question of whether they -would object to self-help students, ap proved by the University self-help committee, canvassing dormitory rooms for subscriptions to the daily papers during the first week of each academic quarter between the hours of 8:30-11:30, 275 students voted that thev were in objection, while 864 polled that they were not. The result of this voting does not, Tjowever,, mean that the present .ruling wall go out of effect. The student ad "visory committee must first recom mend the' proposals to the dean of ad ministration, who will, with the coun sel of the controller and the dean of men, recommend that the president of the University act upon it. Below the answers to the three ques tions on the ballot sheets, on which the students voted yesterday, was a section marked "comment". Among the remarks stated under that head ing were the following: "It's all right for the cigarette companies to come around and pass out samples"; or "Hell, no!"; or "Why not keep poli ticians from disturbing students dur ing campaigning?" The general run of comment was, however, along the lines that there is little enough work for the self-help students now, and that any more would always be welcome. The min ority opposition stated that by allow ing solicitors into dormitory rooms, the students would be disturbed, by people going in and out, and study would be retarded. While Archer And Grimes Wait 'Jack' Has To Worry With Comfort Of Adopted Kitty Yellow, Black And White Spotted Affair Has Red Mouth And Small Eyes By SANFORD STEIN "Jack, I just know it's too hot. Itll suffocate. Jack, it's crying. I'm sure it isn't asleep. Jack, what should I do with it?" This frantic telephone conversa tion takes place nightly at 10:30 or after between Archer house and Grimes dormitory. The "it" referred to is a four weeks old kitten, the "Jack" in question is Jack Soposnick, and the lady with the maternal com plex is Rosalyn Dince. The kitten is one of four born in the University Infirmary. Three of them were chloroformed, but Jack, who is a medical student, managed to get hold of the other and pre sented it to his lady-love. Rosalyn immediately put it in a little white box with perforated holes on top and a scrap of velvet bedding inside. Since then, however, the pussy has become so energetic that the original box no longer suffices, and it now resides in Miss Dince's suitcase. This creature a yellow, black and white spotted affair with a very red Yote For Solicitiin Last Day To Apply To Take Med Tests Today is the last day that applica tions will be received for the Medical Aptitude test, it was announced from the Division of Natural Sciences off ice, 203 Davie halL Pre-medical students- who , fail - tq take the test on December 2 will auto matically become ineligible for admis sion to any American medical school in 1939. There will be no supplemen tary tests 'given in the spring, as was done last year, so that it is extremely important that all students who plan to enter medical school next fall reg ister for and take this test. , PI BETA PHI HOLDS ANNUAL PLEDGE DANCE Neophytes, Transfers Are Introduced At Affair Last Night Pi Beta Phi sorority introduced its pledges and transfers at a dance last night in the ballroom of the Caro lina inn. Each pledge was presented as she walked down a short flight of steps to meet her escort on the dance floor. There the couples assembled in the shape , of the Pi Phi arrow, and danced the figure no-break" to "Speed Thee My Arrow," the sorority song. Freddy Johnson and his orchestra played for the occasion. Punch was served during intermission, and after the dance the pledges entertained the active members and their dates at a supper party at the Pi Phi house. AMONG THOSE PRESENT . . . Pledges and their escorts were: Miss Mary Martha Cline, Jackson ville, with Nick Joost; Miss Janice Cobb, Kinston, with Louis Gaylord; Miss Melville Corbett, Kinston, with Hugh Hole; Miss Emily Crow, Hous ton, with Joe Drake; Miss Sarah Griffith, Asheville, with Jack Rawls; Miss Louise Hall, Scotland Neck, with Harry Thigpen; Miss Mary Lewis, Montclair, N.

It is fed every day with an eye dripper on specially heated milk. This procedure is done often and with in finite care. The erirls in Archer are rather divided in their opinion of Jezebeau They admit he's cute, but when he starts meowing at very inopportune hours, they seriously wonder whether a little arsenic shouldn't be added to his diet. "I've had practically no sleep since I got him," said Rosalyn "He wakes up eVery morning at ! A. M. and then at 6 A. M. And, o: course, I wake up with him." The kitten once spent a night with Jack in Grimes and became very popular with the medical students They cast such dissecting eyes on it, however, that its father and mother decided that it had better remain permanently at Archer. Rosalyn plans to take Jezebeau to class with her when it gets a little older. Jezebeau was brought to Archer house for the purpose of catching (Continued on page two) COOLIDGE TO GIVE VIOLIN CONCERT HERE TCWI0RR0W American Colleges Association Will Sponsor Recital Arlan Coolidge will perform as a faculty-artist visitor tomorrow after noon at 4:30 in a violin recital at Hill Music hall. His accompaniment will be played on the piano by Rudolph Pittaway, formerly a. member of the faculty of Bennington College. This musical entertainment is under the sponsorship of the concert project of the Association of American colleges. Professor Coolidge's first musical instruction was received in 'Orange, Massachusetts,-where he was born on April 10, 1902. He attended the schools there, graduating from the local high school in 1919, and doing some post graduate work the following year. The teacher of Professor Coolidge's teacher in Orange "used to travel from New York to give lessons in Spring field, Mass., once each week. During his high school period, Professor Coo- idge made weekly trips to Springfield for instruction. GRADUATE OF BROWN Entering Brown University with the class of 1924, Coolidge did pre cisely what you would expect. He joined the university orchestra acting as conductor and violin soloist his junior and senior years. Because It was impossible at that time to majqr in music at Brown, he majored in English, but took all the music courses in the curriculum. He is a member of Delta Upsilon and was honored with election- to Phi. Beta. .Kappa. While in college, Professor Coolidge gave up formal study of the violin. But he had several pupils, which helped out financially, and he also played regularly at the Calvary Bap tist Church services. With two class mates, he formed a trio which, for a modest consideration, offered evenings of musical entertainment. During the summer before his senior year, he studied under the New York teacher. Spruill Speaks To Frosh On Courtesy , And Good Manners "Courtesy and Good Manners" was the topic of Dean C. P. Spruill as he spoke to freshman assembly yes terday. He stated, "November 11 is a good time to look backward and for ward. The freshman class had gotten to the point now that they can stop and take stock of themselves." Dean Spruill went further to say, "Freedom of this campus envolves self-control." He concluded by urging students to 'brush up" on their man ners ,in the dormitories, with their room mates, m the class room, m assembly, at public addresses, on the street and in a moving line. Presiding and introducing the speaker was" Fred Weaver who recom mended that Freshmen ask themselves "Why I am in the University?" English 51 Class Holds Banquet Dick Gaddy, University senior, was toastmaster at the quarter dinner meeting of Dr. A. C. Howell's Busi ness English class Thursday night.

McNair Lecturer Compton Is Famous Phy BETAS INITIATE GROUP ATDUKE Five Men To Form Chapter Nucleus Carolina's Eta chapter of Beta Theta Pi, social fraternity, this week initiated five Duke men as the first in forming a chapter at Duke. These men will act as a nucleus around which more boys will be formed until a sufficient number for an independ ent chapter have been taken in. The action taken is the first of its kind at Carolina taking Duke boys into a Carolina fraternity instead of accepting the charter of a local fra ternity formed at Duke. The plan was approved by Duke's Pan-Hellenic council last year and then by the na tional chapter of Beta Theta Pi in August at its national convention. The formation of the new Beta chapter at Duke is commemorating the (Continued on page two) Story Of University AlumnuTells How To Admire Train Wheels And Be A Traffic Manager Frederick C. Bryan's Hora tio Alger Climb To The Top Shows How It Is Done By GLADYS BEST TRIPP The career of a little boy who used to admire the big wheels of a train locomotive, and later attended the University, tells the story of railroad ing from Civil War days to the pres ent. That little boy was Frederick C. Bryan, and he -lived in New Bern. Now he is general traffic manager of the far flung Allis-Chalmers Manu facturing Company, in Milwaukee, one of the largest concerns in the country. His duty is to see that the giant turbines, mining machinery, electri cal apparatus, and farm implements the company manufactures arrive rapidly and safe to the purchasers scattered all over the world. After attending Bingham Military School, a preparatory school in Me bonsville, he came to the Uniyersity in 1881. His father, Judge Bryan of New Bern, had also attended the Univer sity in his boyhood. In 1881 the University's income did Author Speaker Here Is Winner Of Nobel Prize In Physics Arthur Holly Compton, chosen to deliver the McNair lectures here next week, is one of the outstanding physic ists of the nation. Throughout his early life he was surrounded by learn ing in the college town of Wooster, Ohio. His father was professor of philosophy and dean of Wooster col lege and his mother held an LI. D. After a high school course Compton entered Wooster where he received his B. S. degree. Then he enrolled at Princeton and obtained his M. A. and Ph. D. Immediately on graduating from Princeton he stepped into the physics department at the University of Minnesota as instructor and re mained here during 1916-17. The Westinghouse company noticed his brilliant work in research physics and offered him a position which he accepted and held until 1919. During his work with Westinghouse the war (Continued on page two) not meet the expenses as it was still suffering from the effects of being closed from the first of the Civil War until 1875. It was difficult to get the trustees of the University or the leg islature to give the University money for anything. But after a long struggle money was granted for the building of the first railroad through Chapel Hill, called the State Univer sity Railroad. It was rather unique that this grant should come the same year that Mr. Bryan destined to be a great railroad man, was in school. He roomed on the second floor of Old South, which was then a boys' dormitory. Attending college only one year, Mr. Bryan went to work at the age of 19 as a clerk in the freight department of the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad at New Bern. Four years later he, became joint agent of the associated railroads of Virginia and the Carolinas at Raleigh. Then he be came chief clerk in the general freight and passenger department of the Sea board Air Line at Portsmouth, Vir (Continued on page two) CAROLINA BUCKS FORDHAM AT POLO GROIJNDSTODAY Wolf Promises To Open Up Bag Of Tricks The play-by-play reenactment of the Fordham-Carolina football game via grid-graph will begin at 2:15 this afternoon in Memorial hall.
