Got The Misery? Try Some Buzzard Brains and Honey By Grace Rutledge "A concoction of a buzzard' brain mixed with the best of oil and put in the ose will cure all ailments of the head," says an old treatise discovered and Elated from Latin by Dr. L C. MacKinney of the University history de partment. This is only one of a myriad of medicinal properties attributed to various parts Cf the vulture in the eighth century manuscript, which Dr. MacKinney -ran across in the National library in Vni i -r i I Paris about four years ago. A UUnGS t JLci tlHS Seventeen weird remedies extract- able from the buzzard are listed m the Epistula Vulturis. As a sort of intro duction, the Epistula reads: "To the To Be Interviewed The two youngest South American 5ients in the University summer hl will be interviewed over the ttdio by Vivian Gillespie, senior at tr'?

Let him who kills it be alone, and before he decapitates it, let him say to it, 'Angel Adonai Abraham, on your account the word is completed And when you4cut it open you will do well to repeat the above mentioned words." . Following these.directions for the murder are the medical recipes: "The bones from its head wrapped in deer skin will cure all ailments of the head; wrap the eyes in wolf skin and hang around the neck and it will drive away eye ailments; if you put its tongue in rirht shoe and walk with it thus, all your enemies will adore you; its gall mixed with sugar oi lenne u See BUZZARD STUFF, page t.

' The 17-piece Little Symphony of the University of Michigan, under the direction of Thor Johnson, former student here, will give its fifth con cert in Chapel Hill tonight at 8 o'clock in Memorial hall. The concert, is being sponsored by Graham Memorial as one in a series by prominent North Carolina music ians. A chamber music orchestra, con ducted by Johnson while he was a student here, gave him the idea for the Little Symphony. His interest, in music began when he organized an orchestra in Wiriston-Salem while he was in high school. The program for concert tonight, as announced by Johnson, will include the overture to the opera, "Tancredi," Rossini; "Symphony In A Major, Np. 29," Mozart; "Les Fleurs Pales Du Souvenir," Lekeu; and three orches tral transcriptions by Debussy, "The Snow Is Dancing," "The Girl With The Flaxen Hair," and "The Little Pickininy." The second half of the progra will include the Allegretto from the "Sym phony No. 3 in D Major, Schubert; "Strimpellata," Wolf-Ferrari; the Andante Cantabile from the "String Quartet, Opus 11," Tschaikovsky; and "Winter's Tale Suite," McArtor. The 17-piece Symphony is in its sixth season. In the past five years it has appeared in more than 300 con certs, in 24 states in the union, four of which have been in Chapel Hill. It last appeared here in February, 1939. Joint Committee Asked to Change Advisory Report By Bncky Harward Asserting that the Greater Uni versity cannot reasonably expect to maintain its place in the state and na tion without the $9,962,123 budget re quested for the next biennium, Presi dent Frank Graham yesterday asked in a hearing before the joint appropri ations committee of the state assem bly that the legislature restore the $1,060,903 slashed by the advisory budget commission. Pointing out that the University was seeking only $130,982 more than was actually appropriated in 1928 for 2761 less students than are now en rolled, the president emphasized that the reasonableness of the present re quest cannot be matched by that of any other request during the past 12 years. Necessity for Full Amount If the appropriations committee and the legislature raise the budget to the figure asked for, Carolina will operate on $2,182,298 for each of the next two years. As the budget commission's recommendation now stands, only $1,959,546 would be allowed for total requirements in 1941-42 and $1,968, 694 in 1942-43. Although Graham maintained that the Greater University actually needs all buildings proposed in the $3,351,- 652 permanent improvements program, he somewhat modified his former re quest made to the budget commission in" November by outlining- the. most dire needs, which' amount to $1,197, 036 for all three units.

New Discussion Group To Hold First Meeting A new idea in campus organiza tion with no dues, no regular exec utive board, and no roll to check, will hold its first meeting tonight in the small lounge of Graham Memor ial at 7:30. The new organization, temporarily headed by Wimpy Lewis, and a small group of students who left the IRC ast week in order to engage in more "serious discussion work" have made plans to hold weekly campus bull ses sions on all current vital problems. These sessions, open to everyone OH the campus will be run so that a dif erent chairman will preside at each meeting assisted by a timekeeper who will limit each student to about three or four minutes speaking time. . Lewis said that the meetings would not take more than an hour or an hour, and a half each, and that five minutes of each Meeting would be devoted to electing the presiding of ficer for the following session at each meeting. Lewis remarked .that the chairman could not be elected for two weeks in succession, though could be elected any number of times, not in succession. - r " : ll M .2V 1 ;i it n r Vi ff - g. . , r -.MimiMMim i g-u-"-" rmmr ' I'mniiiiiiniiT n utMViVi'Bu'irrrfi r d iri-r1'- ti-infittfr'fr WifrinnTiiflirr ni-iiitit -i-gn uiai' iriiw r n-n -nnmrt'in'i'r 'rimninrnni i - n r r ri n MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY'S Little Symphony orchestra will play in Hill Music hall tonight m concert, Bpark ling with selections by the old masters and the new.'
