G Dowling Presid( At Recent Meeting " Wesley Walker And Bob Hemp hill Will Pil Other Offices G. G. Dowliag, a freshman in the law school,'was elected president of O. D. K. at a recent meeting of the fraternity. Ed Sallenger was the out-going president. Among the prominent speakers who addressed the members were Dr. L. T. Baker, Dr. Henry D. Phillips, rector of Trinity Episcopal church, and J. Gordon Hughes of Union. The last two were elected honorary members at the meet ing. Wesley Walker was made vice-presi dent, succeeding the new president, and Bob Hemphill succeeded Haarold Mauney as secretary and treasurer. New members who were tapped at chapel exercises Tuesday morning are: Bernard James, Werber Bryan, Samuel Moyle, Wilmot Brown, Bob McLaughlin, Larkin Jennings, An<rew Hill, and Pete Coggeshall. Doctor Baker pointed out during his speech that when he came to the Univer sity 30 years ago, the entire enrollment was not as large as the last freshman class. He declared that the new mem bers should be cautious about stressing too much their loyalty to an institution as merely an institution, but that they should look upon loyalty as an expres sion of one's desire to serve. "The prime objective of the Univer sity," Dr. Baker asserted, "is to train men for leadership. This does not mean high political standing, but rather means the placing of men and women in strategic positions, men and women who can think and form public opinion by good example. As students of this University, you are well prepared to serve the people." Jim Black, who was formerly the edi tor of The Carolinian, gave a highly humorous account of his recent "vagabond trip to Europe." His description of the 'laborious adventure" was the high spot on the program. -U. .. o.

"The orchestra has had a most suc cessful season so far and is preparing for a full schedule for the coming months," Madame de Horvath said. "I consider the orchestra in better form this year than it has ever been. This is probably due to the fact that the personnel is largely com posed of musicians who have played with us before." The orchestra has given three concerts this year. The first was played at Dray ton hall November 21.

Cold Students Build Fire At Last Home Game Policemen Stamp Out Blaze Started By Shivering Spectators A group of enthusiastic Carolina stu dents sat shivering in the stands at the Carolina-Warhington and Lee game the other day. The cold was intense, and the students were miserable, when one bright boy conceived the brilliant scheme of building a fire in the stands to offset the cold. Eager hands quickly supplied paper cups, peanut bags, and newspapers, until a creditable blaze was started. Not satis fied with this, one boy scouted around and secured some tarpaper. This was thrust upon the flickering blaze and it soon be came a healthy fire. Black smoke filled the sky and all eyes were turned upon the group warming their hands before the blaze. Finally an angry policeman intervened and wrought destruction to their efforts. With wails of "all policemen have big feet" the boys settled down once more and resumed their interrupted shivering. Penn. State Students Train Hunting Birds State College, Pa.--(ACP)-Devotees of one of the most unusual of all sports -the ancient art of falconry-are Frank and John Craighead, twin brothers who are freshmen at Penn State. They have been training and hunting falcons since b)oyhoodl, and they brought "Ulysses," peregrine hawk wvho is their present star performer, to school wvith them this fall. Ulysses, although now living in comn parative d!Omesticity, has the same blood in his veins as the falcons of four and five centuries ago, wvhen the birds were so highly prized that only a noble could own one. The brothers would match uim against any falcon that ever lived, hey say. "What do you feed him, seed and things ike that ?" the twins were asked. "Meat, beef," they said. "It makes im stro'ig." It isn't merely a matter )f putting the meat in the birdhouse, laced in the yard where the boys can <eep an eye on the falcon from their room, filled with photographs of former >et hawvks. UJlysses has to wvork for his Food. One of the boys stands some dlis ance from the perch, holding the meat n a gloved hand, and Ulysses takes to the uir to make a dash for it. IHe must do his every time lhe's fed. It's good train ng for the business of "Coming to the ure" when he goes afield. Ulysses does hir hunting at a speed that would take him past a lot of air planes, according to the bhrothers. Be ginning to drop, or "stoop" on his prey from several hundred feet above, the hawk may be moving 180 miles an hour by the time lhe strikes, sends it tumbling :lead to the ground with a blow from his balled talons. The game down, he flies back to his gloved master for his eward, a bit of meat.
