Pack Of Cigarettes
Brings Syrian
Student To Carolina
A pack of cigarettes is responsible
for bringing at least one student to
Carolina.
Goro Deeb, native of Tripoli, Syria,
went to an American school there. One
day he noticed the words "North
Carolina" printed on the package.
"What is this North Carolina? Is
it a state, a district, r what," he
asked his professors. .
When he found out that it was one!
of the United States, Deeb says that,
more or less in a spirit of experimen
tation, he wrote a letter of applica
tion to "The University of North Caro
lina, North Carolina, USA."
"I thought that I was just con
tributing five cents in postage to the
state," Deeb says, but in about a
month or two I got a letter from the
University, and here I am."
He still doesn't know why he came,
but he says he's glad he did.

which carried them over most of the
nation. Their appearances were cul
minated last year when they sang in
Town Hall in New York.
High notices have been ghfen to
the choir by many of the leading mu
sical, publications. Their quaint man
ner and charm was particularly laud
ed by the critics. Time Magazine

PlaymakerTheater
To Present Movie
Tomorrow At 2:30
"Crime and Punishment," a notable
French picturization of Dostoevski's
powerful novel, will be shown in the
Carolina Playmaker theatre tomorrow
afternoon at 2:30.
This film is another in the series
of free Sunday showings' being pre
sented, during the fall quarter as "a
prelude to a cinema art study course
in the winter quarter.
Cast in the leading roles of "Crime
and Punishment" are some of France's
most accomplished motion picture ac
tors. Harry Bauer, who is well known
in this country for his performances
in "The Life and Loves of Beethoven"
and "Poil de Carotte," plays the part
of the police captain. Pierre Blancher
appears in the role of Raskolnikov,
the student who commits murder, and
Madeleine Ozeray plays Sonya, the
young prostitute. -
DIRECTORS
The film, directed by Pierre Chenkl,
is' tautly acted against an authentic
St. Petersburg background. Nine
teenth century costumes help make it
faithful to the original story.
Dostoevski's novel, "Crime and
Punishment," is one of the most sub
tle powerful psychological studies in
all literature. It revolves about the
murder of an old money lender and
her sister by a student who is driven
to desperation by extreme poverty.
The novel's great achievement lies in
its exploration of the murder's condi
tion. The French movie version of the
novel is considered one of the best
of the many films that have been made
from the story in various countries.;

Newly-elected Freshman President
Tommy Crudup yesterday announced
his committee appointments for the
coming year in chapel after he, Floyd
Cahoon, Buck Osborne, and George
Adams had been officially inaugurated
as officers of the class of '43.
Crudup announced that Page Sham-
keger will act as chairman of the Ex
ecutive committee, that J. B. Webster
will lead the Dance committee, and that
the Finance committee will be headed
by Campbell Irving.
JIM DAVIS
Jim Davis, 'student body president,
told the freshman that in the near fu
ture seven men will be chosen from 20
nominees to form the first year Honor
council. "This body," he said, "tries
cases of violations of the Honor code
that arise in the freshman class and
passes those found guilty on to the Stu
dent council for sentence and judge
ment."
Speaking of the platform that one of
the presidential candidates in last
week's f rosh balloting advocated, which
attempted to place a freshman on the
Student council, Davis said, "This idea
is promoted by the freshmen every
year. The question is investigated
every year and, in the end everybody,
including the freshmen, is satisfied
that it is not advantageous to have per
sons unfamiliar with Carolina prece
dents and customs on such a powerful
body. We are satisfied that the fresh
men are not being treated undemo-
cratically."

ed are: Executive committee;. Bert

Delta Sigma Pi
Hears Rhineheart
Speak At Banquet
H. A. Rhineheart, regional director
of the International Fraternity of
Delta Sigma Pi, was guest speaker
at a banquet sponsored by the campus
chapter Thursday night. ( The pro
fessional commerce fraternity, gave
the social function for prospective
pledges in the school of commerce.
Headmaster of the local chapter in
1927, Rhineheart outlined the six
purposes of the fraternity to be as
follows: it draws together men of the
same interest; it allows and promotes
a more friendly relationship between
students and faculty; it promotes bet
ter scholarship; it sponsors a profes
sional educational program; it pro
vides a limited amount of social ac
tivities; and it makes possible con
tacts between students and members
of the professional world.
Dr. M. D. Taylor, faculty adviser
to the' group, delivered a speech con
cerning the organization's placement
bureau. He stated that the bureau!
was working in cooperation with the
alumni office. "Last year it was in
strumental in placing many commerce
majors and are looking forward to
a very successful program this year,"
he said.
Tom Crockett, headmaster of the
chapter closed the smoker with a talk
on what the fraternity had meant to
him.

"HELLO" WEEKEND
PLANS RELEASED
Farris Explains
Purposes Of Event
"Hello" weekend, sponsored by the
Phi assembly, will take place Thurs
day, Friday, and Saturday of next
week as a supplement of homecoming
and Greater University Day, Bob Far
ris, chairman of the arrangement
committee, said yesterday, in releasing
plans for the event.
The celebration will not conflict
with the homecoming program; it will
be smpplementary to end in coopera
tion with it, Farris said.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the program is, "to
get the student body on speaking trems
with itself." It is an attempt to bet
ter relations between students of Car
olina, faculty members, and visitors
to the University. Farris said that he
hopes the event will help to make
the phrase "Carolina Gentlemen"
bear added meaning and significance.
If the "Hello" weekend is success
ful, it is expected to greatly aid in
eliminating any barrier between stu
dents and faculty, fraternity and dor
mitory students, boys and coeds, or
between the different classes.
Farris said that cooperation as
well as approval is essential of every
organization on the campus along with
the cooperation of every individual
Carolina student, if the success of the
movement is to be assured.
Building Of Gerrard Hall
Took 15 Years
Fourth Oldest Building On
Campus Has Just Been
Opened After Renovation
By JO JONES
"Gerrard Hall
1822
To do justly, and to love mercy, and
to walk humbly with thy God."
Thus reads the inscription on Ger
rard Sail, that historical little red
brick building at the -University of
North Carolina, which took 15 years
to complete and which has- recently
undergone its fourth renovation.
The fourth oldest building on the
campus, Gerrard hall was begun in
1822 along with a program of renova
tion among the old buildings and con
struction of new ones. Sale of Tennes
see lands willed the University was
expected to furnish necessary capital,
and "in anticipation of this, loans were
secured from state banks.

of North Carolina football team plays
powerful Penn, undefeated titan of the
East, at Philadelphia's Franklin field

It was announced yesterday by

Carolina - Pennsylvania football
game will be broadcasted direct
from the stadium through WPTF at

afternoon in one of the nation's out
standing games of a busy pigskin day.
Defeating NYU with a fourth-quarter
turnabout and tying Tulane on the
impetus of an almost unbelievable-born-of-desperation
final period pass- .
ing rally on the two previous Satur
days, the Tar Heels headed north to
night with every intention of getting
ahead early and beating the Quakers,
thereby putting themselves in a posi
tion to march into the Duke battle
November 18 undefeated with only the
Greenie deadlock on the record against
them.
NO SNAP
The conquering of Penn will be no
easy task. The Red and Blue are the
best in the East, standing alongside of
Cornell, their traditional Thanksgiving
day foe. They've taken Yale, Harvard
and Lafayette, a sizeable chunk of.
eastern grid power, and stand ready to
add Carolina to their rapidly growing
sucker list on the strength of the best
passing attack in the North, a near
200-pound line and hard-hitting run
ning power.
Ray Wolf, bossman of the Tar
Heels, sets his jaw grimly and real
izes the Quakers will be as tough as
any team Carolina faces all season.
"Scouts tell us Penn is as good as Tu
lane. They have an exceptional pass
ing game and their running attack al
most equals Tulane's. Penn has a
strong heavy line even if reserves do
not equal those of the Greenies',"
Wolf says.
TWO OUT
Carolina will enter the game with
out two of the starters against Tu
lane because of injuries. Bob Smith,
hurt early in the first half, will sit on
the bench and watch Carl Suntheimer,
who will be at home, start at center.
Wolf expects to use Smith during the

of the construction. Bricks were made
on the University lands, water beug
obtained from the spring at the south
of the campus, known as the Rock
Spring and later the Brickyard. The
panic of 1825 discontinued proceed
ings, and work on the buildings was
stopped.
It was not until 1837 that Gerrard
hall was completed and entered upon
a career as the center of heterogeneous
activities. Since most of these were of
a religious nature the hall was known
as the New Chapel for many years.,
NAME
It was later named Gerrard hall in
honor of Major Charles Gerrard, a
lieutenant in the fifth battalion of the
Continental army. Gerrard had been
awarded Tennessee lands for his mili

land financed . several "of the early
