America without the WPA and PWA,"

afternoon in Hill Music hall and was
heard in an informal recital yester
day afternoon in the main lounge of

several days. He was accompanied in
both recitals by Rudolph Pittaway,
formerly a member of the faculty of
Bennington college.
INFORMAL RECITAL
The informal recital yesterday gave
about 150 persons a chance to admire
the talent of this musician. It had
been planned for him to play requests
but as the spectators were too modest
in the number of selections, he re
sorted to playing numbers of his pref
erence. Discriminating concert-goers, num

The dexterity of the pianist and the

out both performances. Quality and
technique dominated in the prolonged

by Coolidge's grandfather.

fessor Coolidge to the University
campus but is his first time to be
able to remain several days.

"Man's Relation To
God" Will Be
Subject Of Talk
By 'LOUIS HARRIS
"Man's Relation to God" will be
the subject of Arthur H. Compton's
address, the third and final speech in
the John Calvan McNair Lecture
series, . to be given this evening, at
8:30 in the Hill Music hall.
In a highly technical and illustra
tive talk last night, the noted physi
cist discussed "Human Freedom and
Physical Law." Dr. Compton's speech
was divided into three sections: the
general aspect of the question, "Is
man a free agent?"; "Science wins its
way in Europe,"; and "Uncertainty in
Large Scale Events."
When the speaker stated that na
tural phenomena do not obey exact
laws, he refuted the common belief
that man's actions depend upon physi
cal law. He then went on, in an analy
sis filled with allusions in physics, to
prove his point. .
PSYCHOLOGY
"Not only the physical and biologi
cal sciences, but to a large extent
psychology as well, have made great
strides in interpreting nature on a
basis of mechanical laws involving
cause and effect," Dr. Compton stated,
After proving that physical law does
not control man's actions, he stated,
"If a man's actions are , not deter
mined by physical law, it becomes a
vital question for science to find
whether his actions are determined,
and, if so, by what factors." 1
He then went on to state that "both
the materialist and the theist in phil
osophy have been hard pressed to find
any rational basis for freedom." After

Bill Williamson Turns Term
Paper Into Successful Book
Book On Parkton's
National Guard
Just Off Press
By GLADYS BEST TRIPP
Bill Williamson, University sopho
more of last year, found a profitable
use for his freshman English term
paper when he enlarged it into a
book which has already proved a suc
cess. The name of the book is the "His
tory of Company L 120th Infantry,"
which is Parkton's national guard.
Bill lives in Parkton. It has the old
est national guard in North Caro
lina and the second oldest in the
United States. Parkton also holds the
distinction of being next to the small
est town in America with a national
guard.
POSTPONED SCHOOLING
When he discovered that he could
take only 10 hours at the University
last spring, Bill decided to postpone
his schooling and put his book out.
He had wanted to do this for over
a year, and so when other University

Voit Gilmore, CPU chairman, an

to come to the University December
8, discuss the present situation of
organized labor in the United States,
and possibly follow the usual custom
of joining in a question-answer open
forum after her speech.
LABOR DEVELOPMENTS
Miss Perkins has indicated that
developments now taking place in la
bor ranks would be sufficiently , im
portant in December for her to have
a speech temporarily scheduled at 8
o'clock, which will interest her audi

hear first-hand the opinions and plana
of the nation's chief executive con

and probable economic cure for the
South, while his immediate assistant
in the labor department will discuss
the present problems of the American

,A fine of 25 cents was placed on
Senator John Bonner by Sam Hobbs,
president of the Di SenSate last night
for using obscene language on the
floor of the Senate namely: "a hell

Senator Bonner in defending Presi

That the Dialectic Senate approve
President Roosevelt for a third term
as President of the United States,
said, "Roosevelt should be given

The bill was defeated by a vote of

As
students rushed back to Chapel Hill
after the spring holidays, Bill stayed
at home and wrote.
Last week the book appeared for
sale in every town in Robeson, Bladen,
Cumberland, Hoke, and Scotland
counties. Of the 900 copies to be
sold at one dollar each, 400 were sold
in advance.
WITH PICTURES
With over a hundred pages of
printed matter tracing the Infantry's
development from the Civil war to
the dedication of the armory at Rae
ford on May 11, the book also con
tains 50 different pictures. Securing
a picture of every captain for the
past 90 years would have taken most
people probably a year. Bill succeeded
in three months. --
Instead of having a large book con
cern publish his book, Bill had it
printed in Lumberton. He felt that by
doing this he could sell his book
much cheaper.
The results have been very favor
able. Bill will make : enough on his
freshman term paper to finish school!
