Final Football Clinic Tonight To Feature Duke-Pitt Pictures Eddie Cameron, Assistant Devil Coach, To Speak The last meeting of the football clinic this season will be featured by pictures of the Duke-Pitt game ac companied by a running comment by Assistant Duke Coach JSddie Cam eron, who has scouted Pitt throughout the season. The clinic "will "meet" at 3:30 tonight in Hill hall. This is the last of a series of pro grams begun early this season, and sponsored by the Graham Memorial Student union under the directorship of Bob Magill with the purpose of developing student interest in the game. Despite the snow the pictures are reported to be excellent, and Cam eron, through his position of backf ield coach and Pitt scout, is well qualified to speak on the pictures of this game. Cameron, besides having coached at Duke and before when it was Trin ity college for the last 16 years, is chairman of the Southern Conference Basketball committee. He graduated from Washington and Lee, where he played fullback, and came to Duke, then Trinity, six years before Wade. It is not known at present whether Cameron will follow Coach Wolf's procedure of discussing various points of the game before showing the pic tures, but he is expected to briefly discuss the two teams. Experimental Bill Postponed Due to delay in completing the restoration of the Playmakers thea ter, the first bill of experimental plays this season has been postponed until after the Christmas holidays.

T. Latta. Jr., said last night. Sheriff Latta said he was not hold ing any suspects. All during yester day rumors that officers had arrested suspects were circulated in the village. A number of searching parties, not authorized by officers, are continuing the hunt. Sheriff Latta said they were working in "an orderly manner." The schoolgirl was resting comfort ably yesterday, and though she will not attend school this week, her physician said her condition was much improved.

Gilmore Expresses Union's Thanks For Crowd Cooperation CPU Chairman Returns To Campus From Washington, Issues Statement To Public Upon his return from Washington yesterday, Voit Gilmore conferred with members of the Carolina Po litical union as to the success of the program Monday, and issued the fol lowing statement: To all the University employees, state officers, city policemen, and stu dent workers who cooperated so ex cellently in the efforts to make last Monday's program a successful one, the Carolina Political union gives its warmest thanks.

Without sod, muddy and rutted with automobile wheel marks, the intramural and coed fields were un available for use by physical educa tion classes, and athletic coaches were insistent that action be taken. "ABSOLUTE NECESSITY" Coach Dale Ranson, speaking for the physical education department, said, "Administrative officials and all men on the grounds committee of the University should look at the intra mural fields, the woman's field and Emerson field in order to see the ab solute necessity of providing parking space for those attending athletic contests and speaking events such as we had Monday. We must keep auto mobiles off the fields which are used by the physical education department for classes, intramural contests and varsity events. The use of the fields for parking makes them hazardous for use by organized athletics and other recreation, and the automo biles eliminate the fields from imme diate-use." - Since plans for Woollen gym were approved the physical education de partment has anticipated the need of parking areas during the basketball season. As the stands in the new gym will be set up during the coming court season, it will be possible to ac commodate 3,000 spectators, many of whom drive here from nearby cities, at all games. Coaches Floyd Siewert and Johnny (Continued on page two) HTLLEL FORM TO PRESENT NATHAN Lecturer To Speak On Munich Pact Dr. Otto Nathan, professor of eco nomics at New York university, will speak in the banquet hall of Graham memorial tomorrow night at 7:30.

YMCA Points Out Religious Courses The YMCA cabinets call the atten tion of students who are interested in religion to two religious courses of fered in the winter quarter. The course offered by Professor Thomas, Philosophy 58, a five-hour course, at 11 o'clock, is entitled, The Develop ment of Christian Philosophy. The course is designed to serve as an in troduction to medieval philosophy or as a background to the philosophy of religion. The second course is History 86 by Professor Epps, on Mondays, Wednes days, and Fridays, entitled Biblical History and is based on the Bible as a text. This course comes at 8:30 in the morning and is the one given for merly by Dr. Caldwell. "Unabridged, Unexpurgated,' Ill-Starred Article To Appear In December Issue Of "Buc" Kate Smith Will Honor Maronic Steve Maronic will get further gridiron honors tonight when Kate Smith gives him a position, on her All-Collegiate football squad and, incidentally, a specially engraved wrist watch.

Crowley, chairman of the commit tee, will announce the winners for Miss Smith. Preceding the introduc tion of each player a few bars of his college song will be played. RIDETHUMBERS ASKED TO MAKE LESS NOISE Durham Residents Complain To Croom Of Undue Racket The office of the Dean of Students yesterday requested that any student who is hitch-hiking from Durham be more considerate of the residents of that section of the city from which he is attempting to get a ride. This request comes following a let ter from W. J. Croom, Diretcor of Public Safety of Durham, to the ef fect that University students have been making an undue amount of noise while attempting to thumb rides from the city to the Hill. Croom stated that residents of Chapel Hill street and Chapel Hill road have been unable to sleep until the early hours of the morning due to the noise. There is a city ordinance as well as a state law prohibiting the practice, and violators are liable to be brought into court for violation of the Anti Noise ordinance or the Hitch-Hiking law. Croom does not wish to cause students any embarrassment by de manding their appearance in court, but he asked that they be asked to cooperate as much as possible to make their visits to Durham pleasant ones. The Dean's office asks that, as an act of courtesy, students cooperate with the Durham- Department of Public Safety in every way possible. Carolina, Alabama Debaters Discuss Government Spending Lewis Hamlin, Clarence Klutz Represent University In Non-Decision Affair In a battle royal of words last night in the small lounge of Graham memo rial, Lewis Hamlin and Clarence Klutz, representing the University, and Bernard Sykes and Garman Jones of the University of Alabama dis cussed the question of whether or not the federal government should, cease using public; funds f for the stimula tion of business. During the debate, a non-decision affair, the two gentlemen from Ala bama, taking the affirmative, stressed the point that the New Deal policies of President Roosevelt will not bring about lasting recovery and that this program will defeat real recovery. They showed that, even with .the pump-priming of the government in business, millions are still unem ( Continued on page two) Buccaneer Humor Publication To Be Delivered To Campus Tomorrow "Contact Bridge," an article which caused the extermination of the Caro lina Buccaneer in 1934 and the sus pension of Editor Pat Gaskins from the University,. will appear in the December issue of that publication, to be delivered to the campus tomor row. Carl Pugh, present editor of the magazine, declared the article will be "unabridged and unexpurgated, run literally as originally published word for word." He said that no official objections had been filed since the an nouncement in last month's issue that the article would appear and that he has thoroughly investigated federal Post Office regulations, which pre vented the 1934 issue from being car ried in the mails. SPOKESMAN A spokesman from the Woman's association last night reported that j the Woman's association council had considered the proposal some time ago but had decided the matter was not for them to handle. She said, how ever, "As this is partly a woman's campus we did not think it befitting for a magazine controlled by the Uni versity to republish such an article." The article, which originally ap peared in the June, 1934, Buccaneer, is named "A Summary of the Game of Contact" and consists of a fore word, an introduction and ten" subdi visions. When it was published, Dean Bradshaw said he had rather give each student on the University carn pus a year's subscription to "Smoke house Monthly" than have the article appear. June 11, 1934, the Student council exterminated the Buccaneer, but re versed its decision of abolishing the campus humor magazine on Septem ber 19. The publication then ap peared under the name of the Fin j an (Continued on page two) MRS. WM.

The course for the women will be offered in the spring quarter only.

If the plan is accepted, such a combination will be made at the beginning of the new editor's term, but the board suggests a trial issue in the winter quarter. In the opinion of the board a merger of the two magazines will be more flexible than either of the pres ent publications since it would permit publicity of many articles not within the scope of the present Buccaneer and Magazine. Although it was agreed the Carolina Magazine has reached a stage under the present editorshin not obtained in the past five years, the board also questioned the amount the publication is read. Against the advisability of the plan are the personnel problem of an editor and a staff capable of the task and the loss to the Magazine of its prestige as the oldest college publica tion in the nation. Steps to be taken are in the power of the board, although any final de cision will be referred to the student body. The board expressed itself as definitely in favor of considering the plan further. Arrangements were discussed for a trial issue of the , new' magazine edited by the heads ot the two pres ent publications and a Publications Union board member. The board vot ed to take a campus poll on the plan this week-end through a questionnaire submitted to the dormitories and fra ternities. The questionnaire form will read: The suggestion has been made to the Publications Union board that the Carolina Magazine and the Buccaneer be combined into one publication. The board wishes to determine student sentiment on this idea. 1. Do you read the Buccaneer .y. . (a) not at all; (b) partially; (c) completely? 2. Do you read the Magazine . . . (a) not at all; (b) partially; (c) completely? 3. Would you be in favor of elimi nating the Buccaneer? 4. Would you be in favor of elimi nating the Magazine? 5.

The lucky local gentlemen are Horace Palmer, Jim Woodson, Bob Adam, and Jim Lalanne. The method of selection used by the girls are based upon a persual of photographs, furnished by the Winston-Salem Journal - Sentinel. Three Duke men, Bobby Spangler, Fred Torke, and Bob Alabaster, made the team by virtue of Adonis profiles. Davidson placed two men, Wake Forest and State one each. George Watson, ordinarily known as the handsome Hercules of the Carolina gridiron, did not even get honorable mention, which led to the belief that his photographs either were out of circulation this year or else uncomplimentary. Bob Adam was flattered beyond speech, while Lalanne and Palmer, took the honor as a mater of fact; Woodson blush ed, it is rumored. Several requests have been made for pictures of the girls who made the team selection. t f s h I i s - t. i I - 1 I t . J I I J
