I?a& Chicks Are
Surprise Gift
For Spencer Girl
The girls in the "Shack" hare a
habit of asking anyone who's going
out of town to "bring me a surprise.'
And they, often get shocked. .
But, nevertheless persons r other
than the girls are" orprised, oo."
Other "day, Helen Redfern, -who's
-Shack president, called the request as
.Melville Corbett, woman's association
head,, was'leaving for a trip to Dur
ham .
When Helen entered her room that
night, she. found pecking around the
floor two, 'downy baby chicks, the gift
of Melville.,- Helen" kept them a couple
of days. The biddies followed second
floor, residents all 'around the halls.
But Mrs. Lee heard about the young
fowls and called one on Helen. Mrs.
Lee, whose heart is not composed of
matter which would incline her ,to
-push little biddies into a creek, said
she was sorry but that Spencer hall
shouldn't be turned into a poultry
farm. -
So Helen and her friends had to part
with the birds. She gave them to Irene,
the colored maid, who promised to
treat them "real good." .

It is possible that some courses may
be taught here if the plan goes through
but actual flight training will be
given at the flying field in Raleigh.
Requirements for admission to the
course include 'a fee of $40.00 to cover
preliminary examinations and insur

the course without the written con

be expected to provide their own trans
portation between Chapel Hill and the
flying field.
Whether or not the course will be
available to students here will depend
largely on the number interested,

number of . applications is received it
is doubtful whether or not presenta

Descendant Of University 's
First Student Now Enrolled
Chauncey Broome, Freshman,
Is Great-Great-Grandson
Of Hinton James
By ARTHUR S. LINK
Chauncey Broome, freshman, holds
the honor of being the great-great-grandson
of the first student to reg
ister at the University.
It was the year 1795 that the Uni
versity opened its doors to students.
A tired, straggling lad walked into
the small village ot Chapel Hill. He
was Hinton James, Broome's ancestor,
who had. walked from 'Wilmington to
Chapel Hill and who was the Univer
sity's first student.
The roads that James travelled, if
they may be called roads, had been
dusty and rocky. His feet were numb
ed with pain for the journey had been
long and hard.
The sight that greeted his eyes when
he first looked upon Chapel Hill and
the University must have been strange
to him. He saw a few buildings set
amidst an immense forest of pines and
oaks. But, small though the Univer
