tforth Carolina Club
Discusses Co. Government
Last Monday night the North
Carolina club enjoyed two very inter
esting papers on county and commu
nity government. (Mr. Charlie Nich
ols, in the first paper, dealt with
'.'Unified County Government, Uni
form County Accounting and Report
ing, and State-wide Auditing of
County Accounts." He gave many
jrood suggestions as to the reorgam
zation of the county government so
as to make it more effective. It was
pointed out that in 1913 county
government was an eigni minion
dollar affair, approximately twice
the cost of state government. At
this, he showed how the county
government is a headless affair
and how badly renoviation is needed
First, he advocated unified county
government under a responsible
headship: chairman ol the board or.
county commissioners.
. Second, there is to be a board of
county commissioners of three or
more -members, including the chair
man.
Third, all county officers are to
be placed ancillary to the board in
a definite way to a definite extent.
There shall be a bureau of county
auditing in the office of the state
auditor. The controller of county
accounts is to institute a uniform
system of county accounting and
reporting, and to maintain a state
wide system of auditing county
accounts. The duties and regulations
of each of these departments was
definitely laid down.
The second pages by Mr. J. T.
Wilson was on Community Organi
zation, Community Incorporation, and
Extended Local Self-rule." Mr
Wilson pointed out the fact that all
reforms should begin at home, and
should aim first and foremost at the
physical and moral uplifting of the
individual citizen. The definite need
in every community of a place for
social activities was strongly brought
out, as it wquld remedy, to a great
degree, the hanging around drug
stores, smoking cigarettes and drink
ing "dopes," and other such habits.
The incorporated rural community
was given as a great forward step
in the progress o fevery community.
Constitutional amendments were sug
gested that the local self-rule might
be extended in North Carolina.
Finally, changes were proposed
whereby the county government may
be more closely unified under respon
sible headship.
Overall Moveuent
Rivals Mushroom
On with the overalls! seems to
have supplanted the old cries which
used to be heard around the campus
of "On to Richmond" and "On to
Greensboro." The campus, con
verted as by. magic through the
desire of economy to the , ranks- of
the H. C. L. combatants, has sud
denly blossomed out in blue denim
and khaki shirts. The overalls
movement, which started in Bir
mingham, Ala., the first part of last
week, in its rapid spread over the
country struck the campus about
Wednesday of last week, at which
time the law school held a meeting
and agreed to wear overalls for one
month while on-the Hill. On Thurs
day the campus cabinet brought the
matter up for discussion in chapel,
and after two hot speeches on the
subject, one by Bailey Liipf ert, of
the law school, and the other by
Bob Gwynn, both of whom wore
overalls much to the amusement of
the audience, and a short talk of
opposing the 'movement by John
Kerr, it was announced that the
matter would be brought up in
specials class meetings to be held
that afternoon. Then a hot chase began
over town "in search of overalls. The
suPply in the different stores fast
Scorning exhausted, some of the stu
dents were without overalls until
later on in the week, but by Monday
a large percentage of the student
body had donned the blue denims.
Friday just after dinner a picture
as taken of the men with overalls
"J front of the postoffice, and a group
UI several hundred made a very
8od picture. On Tuesday a moving
Picture was to have been made in
front of the Alumni building, but
wing to the bad weather it had to
09 postponed. But the movement
sems to be spreading rapidly over
the campus and town, and every day
"ew pairs of overalls appear on the
canPus. And all over the state and
nation we read each day of new
overall clubs which are being formed
Jf attack of the H. C. L. Sim
'mi seizing the opportunity with
"e keen business nose of a true
nancier, at once secured several
hundred pair and did a flourishing
business in overalls. And some of
the boys, not to be outdone, realiz
ing the storing away of new spring
suits which the movement is bound
to mean, a once put out an adver-
tSsement of "moth balls at Vance
8." "Overalls I over all" in the words
of Bailey Liipfert, became the slogan
of the campus, and the campus,
instead of beginning to look green
as is usually the case in the spring,
took on a rather blue hue.
Hartley Delivers Lecture
Before Commerce School
On Tuesday night, E. H. Hartley,
of the class of 1899, now chief
statistican of manufacturers in the
census bureau, lectured before the
school of commerce in Peabody audi
torium on the subject of "Business
Statistics." In his lecture, he traced
the growth of the census from
1790, with Washington as director
and Jefferson as tabulator when
the census was compiled in a book
of 56 octavo pages, to the present
day, when the census tabluations
cover over 41,000 pages.
He said that the first modern
census was taken in 1880 when the
method of gathering data by super
visors and enumerators, which is in
use today, was started. This census
was of such vohjme that the use
of electrical tabulators was essential
to the getting out of the information
on time.
He showed the value of the census
to industry and business, quoting
many cases where the census bureau
had aided materially those industries,
which had applied for information.
Finally, he stated that he planned
to introduce tabulating devices into
the census department that will
allow the giving out of information
about each county along industrial
and other lines, whereas information
formerly obtainable gave out data
only by sections.
Phi Zeta Nu Society
Initiates New Members
Immediately following the bi
monthly meeting of the A. I. E. E.
society last Monday evening, the
initiation of five new members into
the electrical engineering fraternity
was held. At the end of a six reel
film, - which was featured the elec
trical engineer's contribution to the
various needs of the great and
growing industrial world, a ' very
striking and unique choosing was
staged. There appeared on the
screen a mysterious sign in which
the Greek letters "Phi Zeta Nu"
were embodied. Five forms clothed
in long blacks hooded robes were
led into the room by one in white
which carried a sword and a light.
From among the audience, the can
didates for membership were indi
vidually brought out and immediately
seized by a form in black. At a
queer signal, all left the room
together.
The newly initiated members are:
W. C. Walke, of Chapel Hill: A. B.
Wright, of Winston-Salem; P. C.
Smith, of Capron, Va., L. V. Milton,
of Greensboro, and C. J. Bryan, of
Goldsboro.
