JOINS IN BANNING
RECKLESS AUTOIST
Maryland Club Director Endorses
d. G. Action Against Motorist Who
Had Violated Regulations.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE, April 26.-H. M.
Lucius, secretary and managing director
of the Automobile Club Of Maryland, is
in hearty accord with efforts of Wash
ington officials to bar a motorist, whose
license has been revoked from using a
Virginia license in the District.
'I have always felt that the threat
Of revocation Of license Is the greatest
penalty which can be hung over a law
less drivers head" Mr.. Lucius said.
when all the States adopt a uniform
list of requirements for drivers licenses
and establish full reciprocity a great
step forward toward safety will have
been taken.
Under such an arrangement, If a
driver from one State offended suffi-
GENTLY in another, his home State
would honor the request of the State
In which the offense was committed
and the license would be revoked"

REMOVING "CANARIES"

Winter always seems to leave car
with a flock of "canaries" around the
DOORS But they are easily removed.
Examine each of your doors carefully.
You will find evidence of metal-to-metal
contacts which are causing your chorus.
A drop of oil at these points of contact
and also on hinges and door locks will
probably erase all trace of the SYM
phony.

Barbarities of Yore Succeeded by
A Civilized Welcome for Freshmen

every new man will have an op-
portunity to meet the president,
faculty members, and student
leaders.
Tuesday morning the fresh
men are divided into groups of
about 80 each. Each group is
put in charge of a faculty men,
ber and a student upper-class-
man leader and is taken through
most of the freshman week pro-
gram in this order:
First, the faculty counselor
has a short personal interview
with each man in his group. The
purpose of this meeting is to give
the new student a personal con-
tact with a University official
who is interested in helping him
plan his course or in discussing
with him any of his personal
problems. Physical examina-
tions are continued throughout
the day. At three o'clock in the
afternoon a romance language
placement test is given and, at
7:3O in the evening the regular
English placement test. AS a
result of these tests, new men
are arranged in sections accord
ing to their abilities. This is the
first year of such a test in ro-
nance languages.
Wednesday is registration day
for all freshmen. Physical ex-
aminations are continued
throughout the day, and each
freshman must take this ex-
animation before he will be al
lowed to register.
Under the leadership of it's
upper-classman guide, eac h
freshman group is taken at reg
ularly scheduled times on a tour
through the University library,
to a lecture on student govern
ment, and to the room where all
freshmen must take psyche
logical examination. In the Ii
brary, every man is taught how
to get book out, is escorted over
the whole building and is told
how the library should be used.

weeklies, the NeaOs of Hertford
and the Progress of Columbia
The three papers were bought
from Clark Kinnaird.
They circulate in the coun-
ties of Chowan, Bertie, Gates,
Perquimans, Washington, and
Tyrrell. These counties lie in
the northeastern part of North
Carolina known as the Abe

AS Catherine Groves, Mrs
Peele was one of the most bril-
liant pupils in Oscar Coffin's
journalism class year before
last. Upon his recommendation
Herbert Peele offered her a place
on the Elizabeth City AdUance
She started in there in the fall
of 1929, and three or four
months later her friends in
Chapel Hill were informed of
her engagement to Joseph Peele,

Drought Smites Village
But Luckily 1t Didn't Come until ths
Crops We're In

Chapel Hill is now having it's
turn with drought. The grass
and the shrubs are willing, and
the leaves of many of the trees
are taking on their fall colors
too soon.
When most of the rest of the
United States was suffering for
want of rain this summer, we
had our normal rainfall here.
The weather maps sent out from
the department in Washington
showed that this South Atlantic
section was the only place in the
country that enjoyed a normal
wetness. Luckily the drought
did not come until the crops
were harvested.
The report for August issued
by the official weather bureau
here shows that the rainfall in
the month amounted to only 1853
inches. There has been no rain
since August 18th, and then
there was only a sixth of an
inch.
The maximum temperature
last month was 101; this point
was reached on the 5th, the 9th,
and the 30th. In the whole
period of record for Chapel Hill
the high record for August is
1O5.

University Authorities Busy Preparing Budget

the difference between estimated
and actual revenue in the pres
ent fiscal year will not be so
great as shown in Raleigh's fore
cast.
The budget now being pre-
pared by the University authori-
ties is for the tWo-year period
from July /, 1881, to June 30,
1888. 1t is made up in two
divisions, (a) permanent i'm
provements and (b) mainten-
ance.
1t must be presented to the
state budget bureau before Oc-
tOber /. After it is examined
by the bureau the advisory
budget commission is called in
for consultation, and this body
holds series of public hearings.
After the hearings are conclud-
ed the commission makes a re-
port to the legislature embody-
ing its recommendations as to
the amount to be appropriated
for each of the several state de-
partments and institutions. The
final decision, on all appropria-
tions, lies with the legislature.

SELF-HELP CALLS
COME POURING IN
job Hunting Youths Outnumber
Freshmen Applying for
Admission


The self-help bureau at the Y.
M. c. A. is besieged as never be-
fore by students looking for jobs
that will enable them to earn
money here at the University.
Already we have more appli-
cations for work than the reg
istrar has for admission to the
freshman class" said Harry F.
Conner yesterday, land they
keep pouring in every hour.
Most boys write in, but scores
come in person to see what the
chances are. Relatives or friends
bring them in cars, or they catch
rides from strangers on the
road"
Even while Mr.. Conner was
speaking, four or five eager-look-
ing young men were gathered at
the inquiry desk in the Y. M. c.
A. lobby.
Waiting at table at Swain
hall is the chief opportunity for
self-help students, and this work
is in great demand. Before the
first of July there had been $50
requests for waiterships. The
list was filled long ago.
The job-seekers include per-
sons with experience in various
occupations. There are stem
ographers, typists, ok-keepers,
mechanics, painters, carpenters,
printers. But the majority are
not specialists-they say they
"just want anything to do"
In the University community
the opportunities for work, are
limited, and it appears that the
satiation point has been nearly
reached. But the bureau does
all it can to aid even the latest
cOmers.
This notice has been sent out
to every applicant for a job:
"If you have not heard al
ready, this is to notify you that
we have no further jobs than can
be assigned in advance of your
arrival at the University. Swain

These are the days when the
University administration is
sweating over it's budget.
First the departments have to
submit their requests, and then
these figures are assembled in
the business managers Office and
are analyzed and boiled down.
The demands from Raleigh for
boiling down are more than
usually emphatic this year be-
cause of the estimated decrease
in the states revenue.
The state budget bureau, of
which Governor Gardner is
chairman, has prepared a state
ment which shows difference
of about S2,139,OO0 between the
193O-I931 revenue as estimated
when the budget was made up
two years ago and the revenue
as it is now estimated for the
same period. The fall is from
SIT, ,697 900 to $15, ,558,O0O.
The states revenue last year
(1929-l930) fell only $87 900
below the figure estimated in
the budget, and it may be that

Mrs. Johnston 81
Birthday Celebration at Old Home
stead North of the Village

Mrs. Charles Johnston was "a
years old last Sunday, August
81, and members of her family,
relatives, and friends gathered
at the old homestead, out to the
north of the village beyond
Orange Church, to give her their
congratulations and good wishes.
Mrs. Johnston suffered a bad
faH few years ago, and has
not been able to get around very
well (; but she has maintained her
health and good spirits, and she
was a cheerful hostess as she sat
in a rocking chair on the front
porch and welcomed her visitors.
James Johnston was the only
one of her children who was not
there Sunday. He could not
leave Washington, but he will
come to visit his mother some
time in the next few weeks.
Among those at the birthday
celebration were Mr.. and Mrs.
w. r. Barbour and their two
children, Mrs. Patterson, John
Johnston, Sam Johnston, Miss
Mary Johnston, Mrs. George
Johnston and her three children,
Mrs. Donnell (the former Miss
Loula Hendon) and several
members of her family, and Mrs.
Julia Graves.

Chapel Hill Chaf

In the drugstore day before
yesterday Clyde Eubanks, Jim
Patterson, and l were discussing
the low price received by the
farmers for their tobacco. Vari-
Gus remedies were suggested.
OF course we all thought of or
'ganized marketing; but that has
already been attempted in vain.
Mr.. Eubanks said he thought it
might be a. good thing for the
growers if they would stop
planting tobacco for a year or
so. At this point in the con-
versation Harry Conner walked
into the store, and his appear
ance gave me an idea. Suppose
all the non-smokers in North
Carolina-Josephus Daniels and
Frank Graham, for example,
and Harry Conner, and Clyde
Eubanks, and M. c. S. Noble,
and Howard Odum, and Charles
w. Tillett, Jr., and all the rest
of 'em-were suddenly to start
using tobacco. In the aggregate
the increase in consumption
would be enormous, and this
would inevitably cause an in
crease in the price of the raw
product. A few years ago the
Buy "a Bale movement was
launched in order to counleract
the slump in cotton. Why not
a Smoke-Up movement now? |
have made the proposal and |
now surrender the leadership of
the campaign to Mr.. Daniels and
the NeWs and Observer.
People are rarely satisfied
with the weather. 1t is always
too this or too that. Night be-
fore last we sat out in the gar
den and complained of the
drought. Lightning flashed in
the north, and Mrs. Coffin said
"It'H be all right now. Light
ming in the north means rain in
"a hours" At this writing 18
of the "a hours have passed, and

THE UNIVERSITIES
INACTIVE SEASON
Teaching and Studying. Opera
tions Suspended; Few People
Seen on Campus
IN NEED OF LOAN FUND

Next to the week after Christ
mas this is Chapel Hills most
somnolent season. It is the lull
between the ending of the Sum-
mer School and the opening of
the regular fall term.
As far far as as teaching and study
ing are concerned, the Univer-
sity has gone out Sf business for
two weeks. DormitOries and
classroom buildings are desert
ed and not many people are seen
on the campus. In the admins
trative and business Offices in the
South building much deep think
ing and planning are in prog
ress-mostly relative to- the
preparation Of the next biennial
budget-but all this is, so to
speak, invisible to the naked eye.
1t does not disturb the general
campus calm.
Registrar T. j. Wilson, Jr.,
and his assistants continue to re-
ceive applications for admission
and to check and re-check the
certificates sent in by school
graduates. The number of ap-
plications indicates "a large at
tendance, but nobody can tell yet
how many students will actually
enroll. Financial difficulties are
greater than in recent years, and
SO there is an unusual demand
for loan funds. Scores of young
men write in that they will enter
the University if they can bor-
row little money to tide them
along.
Experience with student loans
over a period of several years
shows that the loss of principal
through failure to repay has
been not more than l per cent.
With this record to go on, some
of the University alumni are
trying to procure a considerable
sum of money, in a lump, to dis
tribute among needy students in
the form of loans.

When | was a youth in Chapel
Hill, in the late nineties and the
early years Of the present CEN
tury, a freshman came to the
University with fear and tremb-
ling. And with good reason.
Those were barbarous days.
The college year began two
weeks earlier than now, while
the melon season was still on,
and a function hallowed by long
tradition was the Watermelon
Treat. The freshmen were as
Tsessed to pay for the melons for
the sophomores to devour. AT
the conclusion of the feast the
freshmen were pelted, and had
their faces washed, with the
rinds. And they were subjected
to various other forms of "dis-
cipline." But now-Civilization
has come on apace. The office
