Page 2 Linder To Speak On Euler’s Cipher Professor Arthur Linder will address the Statistics Colloqu ium on Monday, December 2, on “A Cipher of Euler's.’* A cipher is a kind of mathe matical puzzle or code, and cryptograms—writings in a ciph er—appear in newspapers and magazines today to challenge the ingenuity of readers. In the eighteenth century, such puz zles enjoyed great popularity in the courts of Europe, both for popular enjoyment and for the very serious purpose of com municating secret political mes sages, and people were retain ed by royalty for the purpose of inventing and deciphering these codes and puzzles. In the year 1744, the famous Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler, writing from Berlin to faggm TODAY ONLY 3/UNI'S the | WORD. FOLKS... I I THE BEST PART „ I eyes!

It is‘ not known whether or not Gold bach solved Euler’s cipher, but many mathematicians have at tempted it in later years with out success. Not long ago when a committee of mathematicians was organizing the collected works of Euler for publication, a prize set for tha solution of this unsolved cipher. Profes sor Linder and a mathemati cian colleague, Professor P. Speziali, accepted the chal lenge and deciphered it. Pro fessor Linder will describe the cipher and their method of sol ution. which was based cn statistical methodology, at the Colloquium Lecture. —Town & Gown— (Continued from Page 1) to his visit October 12, 1961, the other Presidential visitors to the UNC campus were James K. Polk in 1847, James Buchanan in 1859, Andrew Johnson in 1867, and Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939. • * # Hie Kennedy visit brought tut the largest contingent of press representatives ever to cover a news event in North Carolina over 300 newspaper, radio, TV and magazine and wire service people came. These were given pres* kits, citing the schedule and who’s who for the day—pins special pamph lets welcoming the press, and apologizing for the abort shrift given to newspapermen when they came to Chapel Hill MB years previously, in 1199. It was entitled “An Apology and a Welcome to the Press Cov ering the Visit of President Ken noß* to Chapel Hill. A shbtiUe was “A Mere Over sight.” It read, in part: “The University of North Caro lina offers belated but sincere apologies to 22 newspaper cor respondents who were not ac corded our usual red carpet re ception when they visited Chapel Hill in June of 1859 at the time President James Buchanan was an honored guest at Commence ment. “By modern standards of press relations, the journalists follow ing in his trave’s received list’s face it) pretty shabby treatment. We hope cm this/ day. October 12, 1961. to make up for the mistakes of 102 years ago. "In justice to University of ficials and Commencement mar shals of 1699, not much was known here in those days about care and feeding and vital help fulness to visiting journalists. “President Kemp Plummer Battle in his History of the Uni versity of Norto Carolina explain ed it as “a mere oversight.” “A reporter for the New York Herald complained that no one made arrangements for news papermen to obtain food. No hotel or room reservations were made for them. No one offered* a table or vantage point for wit nessing the events. “A Raleigh news man was even more vehement. He de scribed the awful ride of the press corps from Durham to ChapeL Hill. A fine carriage transported the President’s par ty. But the 22 newsmen were loaded in an alleged ‘passenger coach,’ actually a converted wag on without springs. The trip was rough and bumpy, and the ve hicle traveled at the speed of* two miles an hour—six hours to make the 12 miles journex Jo* Chapel Hill. The reporters had to pay their own way—two dol lars a head for a one-way trip.” Give to the Community Chest. 1.. - .

Mr. Johnson is a warm, out going man, he said, somewhat more so than Mr. Kennedy was. EHe recalled that during the Tru man and Eisenhower adminis trations “you could pick up the phone and talk to the President Iwithin two minutes.” Mr. Ken nedy was harder to get to. The braintrusters (“those Irish boys”) “tightened up around him.” Mr. Durham will not venture an opinion on the difference be tween the Kennedy and the Johnson intellects. “Intellect is something you can’t put your finger on.” Mr. Kennedy was land Mr. Johnson is “well above the average intellect.” Sitting in a cottage behind his East Franklin Street residence, 'among walls coated with framed (photographs of Congressional colleagues and other govern mental friends (“all his anti ques,” Mrs. Durham calls these souvenirs), Mr. Durham pre dicted that President Kennedy would have won the election next year if he had lived.
