No. 46 TO L Committee Meet Here and Decides on This Site Chosen From Three Sites Already Specified. OTHER PLANS INCOMPLETE The Trustees Building Commit tee the Faculty Committee on Buildings and Grounds had a meet ing recently to consider the archi tectural design and to make a def nite selection of the site of the Graham Memorial Building. The committees "were successful in choosing a site but they left the final architectural plans for a meeting April 24. All the members of the Faculty Committee were present together with three outside members: viz, Col. J. Bryan Grimes, Leslie Weil and C. F. Harvey. At" the beginning of the meeting Dr. Chase explained the situation by stating that the University Trus tees and the Trustees of the Building Committee left the selec tion of the architect and the site to the Graham Memorial Library Announcement. The Librarian wishes to call attention to the fact that there is no maximum limit to the fine that may be collected for keeping a reserved book out overtime. The fine mounts at the rate of five cents for each hour, or fraction, that a book is overdue. The fine is to en sure the prompt return of a book that other students may have the use of it. L. R.

Upon the suggestions from Mr. Kendell and T. C. Atwood and wilh positive assurance that the building operations would be adequately financed with funds either from the legislature or the Alumni, the fol lowing resolution was .drafted by Dr.- Coker and un'animously carried by the committees: "Resolved, That the Inn site be utilized for the Graham Memorial building under the following conditions: First, that a proper building be constructed for approximately $150,000; second that the administration and the Graham Memorial Committee indi cate that they will use their efforts to press the sum of at least $100, 000 in addition as early as possible, and that if Alumni contributions fail, the money for this building will come from the five-year legislature appropriation ; third that the new Methodist Church Building and the Graham Memorial Building shall form a balanced composition." The committees took up the pro positoins of three different archi tects also in its meeting. H. P. Ujohn, of New York, designer of the Presbyterian church and vari ous other church in the state, was considered. R. B. McGoodwin, of Philadelphia, was here personally to submit his proposition. The com mittee is also considering a Char lote architect, C. C. Hook, the designer of the Chapel Hill Graded School and Phillips Hall. Final conclusions as to these propositions will be reached, and definite arrangements as to start ing building operations will be made in a Meeting of the same committee on April 24. of feeds and other attractions plan ned, the dances promise to be among the best held here in recent years.

His bride also was interested in play writing while in college and it was in this connection that they came to know each other. Last year the two were wont to take afternoon jaunts in Battle park and finally in the gentle spring t breezes they acquired the habit of studying their lessons on a romantic spot in the park known as Stone Seat. It was here that they made their engagement, and so sacred did they regard this place that they had these holy rites per formed directly in front of it. The marriage was performed in a very unique manner, I. J. Stephen son, Paul Greene and Miss Elizabeth Lay, very close friends of the couple, were invited by Heffner to take a late afternoon stroll not divulging what was going to take place later. They suspected noth ing unusual until Parson Moss met them at the Stone Seat and pulled from his pocket a marriage license and before the rest of the party were aware of what was going on, Parson was reading those sacred vows.

He told the students that when they graduated they would face a world of business men, that they would deal with the best and most experienced of "them, and that they would have to know their business or else they would starve, for the business world is not looking for men of medium training. "Don't call engineering a profession," he said, "but call it a business, and make it your business." Mr. Upham related some of the ex periences that he is at present hav ing with contractors in building the hard surface roads in this state. Some of the them were humorous, others showed that he was having trouble I due to the fact that the men are not I PRESIDENT NOT LAWFUL Unconstitutional In Dialectic to Jump Leader's Action, and Whedbee' Motion Passes Into iscard.

Mr. Upham told of the tests that are being made, the difficulty in keeping water out of the road bed, thus strengthening the hard surface itself, and what they were doing to keep the water out. One of the things he stressed throughout his talk was the value of public speaking. He said that no engineer could suc ceed unless he knew how to speak in public. At the close of Mr. Upham's talk, Mr. Hutchinson, research engineer, made a short talk, after which all those present were tendered a ban quet by the C. E. society.

After a great deal of discussion, the motion was practically unanimously passed. Then followed under the same head of business, a motion by ! Silas Whedbee to reprimand the j action of the president on the j previous Saturday evening. Many j speeches were made against this motion when "Pike" Trotter arose I and informed the Hall that such a j motion was out of order in that I there was a clause in the constitu j tion which provides that the dignity of his position shall exempt him from being liable to the society and open reprimand while in office. By this information, this procedure was suddenly precluded and S. O. j Bondurant made a motion that the society censure Whedbee for mak ing a motion to unjustly scathe the president. After some discussion and upon a request, this motion, however, was withdrawn. The query for the evening was With the arrival of the pins of the Loyal Order of Shifters, latest pastime of those whow wish to get something for nothing, and due to the secretiveness the brotherhood has aroused, and the Inquisitiveness of many non-members, a new and greater rush has set in for member ship, great numbers desiring admit tance. The pins are of many colors, but each ha sthe same emblem: an extended glpd-hand, and the word "shifter" written immediately be low. This new and most mysterious of all oganizations was initiated on the campus some few weeks ago, being brought here from the University of Virginia by two Carolina men. From the rsrt hour after its arrival until the present there has 'been an an ever increasing line waiting to be initiated. Many are taken in daily. It is estimated that over 760 '"en on this campus are Shifters. All you have to do is say "Yes" and 5'ou will be taken in, regardless. There has been an unpecedented rush on the cigar stands, soda foun tains, cafes, and the Pickwick has had the best month in ears. All that the members are allowed to tell the "nons" is to the effect that there ill be neither physical punish ment, nor mental embarrassment, and the sooner you join, the more you will get out of it." Some fall for this line, others fail. So far, none of the members begrudge the fact that he or she has joined. The Order is even older than the Masons, for it is declared by the Grand Keogles that Adam and his better hallf were the charter mem bers, and that they shifted the mem bership on until all their family were members, and so on, until here it is, and you have the privilege of "jining."

The other occupants of the car were a young man of Dur ham named Vickers, and a local jit ney driver. On arriving at Chapel Hill, Blake entered Gooch's cafe, and on the ballot: R. E. Brown, J. Y.

With the forensic classic narrowed down from 1,000 speakers, represent ing 250 high schools, to four speak ers, representing Durham and Bur lington high schools, these two teams met in Memorial Hall for the final contest, and, before an audience of approximately 2,000 people fought it out in a way that won much praise for both vistors and losers. The query was, "Resolved that the United States should enter the League of Nations." Durham, repre sented by Linwood Hollowell and Freeman Twaddell, defended the negative side, while the Burlington affirmative was composed of Miss Catherine Martin and Giles Nichol son. All four speakers put forth both eloquence and argument of a high type and all the speeches were warmly applauded by the audience. President Chase Presides. President Chase presided and E. R. Rankin acted as secretary. The judges were H. H. Williams, L. P. McGehee, L. R. Wilson, W. S. Ber nard and R. D. W. Connor. The cup was presented to the winning team by F. P. Graham, after which "Billy" Noble presented the cups and medals to the winners in the inter-scholastic track meet which was held Friday afternoon. Each of the four speakers taking part in the final debate was present ed with a medal, the gift of the two literary societies, of the University. Affirmative Argument. The argument of the affirmative team, briefly outlined, was as fol lows: 1. World conditions demand a change in old-time methods of diplo macy. 2. The Leagu eof Nations is a practical plan for preventing war. 3. The league is right in principle. 4. No other plan has been pre sented which will effectively take its place.
