CAROLINA'S CHILD
IS BUSINESS, SAYS
HISTORIAN CONNOR
. ". ' "
Anti-Big Business Propaganda
: is False History Professor
Informs Students
in Chapel.
"Business in North Carolina
is the child of this University,'
k. ii. w. Lonnor, prominent
member of the history depart
ment, said in chapel Tuesday
morning. "Not only is the Uni
versity not hostile to the big in
dustries of the state, but she
realizes that her own future is
dependent upon their advance."
x Dr. Connor denounced as false
the propaganda to the effec
that the University is hostile to
the development of big business,
which is now being spread over
the state. " He looked into , the
future with confidence that
North Carolina is to develop into
a great industrial . common
wealth.
Reviewing the history of the
University briefly, Mr. Connor
pointed out that it has always
trained leaders for the field in
which they were most needed at
the time. The first 25 - or 30
years of its existence the insti
tution sent out great political
leaders. In 1815 industry began
to develop in thestate, and from
then, until 1860 many great in
dustrial leaders were trained
here. Among these were John
Morehead, the greatest railroad
builder in the history of North
Carolina, Archibald D. Murphy,
"the greatest dreamer of future
glory," who laid the f ounda
tions of the system of public
schools and of transportation,
and Others. After the Civil War,
from 1865 to 1900, the Univer
sity turned out political reor-
d-anizers and regenerators like
Zebulon Vance. Again the

KISSING EVILS FAIL TO KEEP DI
FROM DOWNING ANTI-NECKING BILL
Measure Is, Snowed Under 20-6 Bagby Says Technical Necking
lads to Serious After-Effects in Wonfen the So-Called
Art Causes a Warm Debate. '
'" ; ' -. , - o 1
Featured by the preliminary
remarks addressed to the Sen
te by Dr. Bagby, Professor of
Psychology, the Di Senate de
feated the proposed bill to out
law necking by a vote of twenty
to six. The discussion of the
bill was preceded by the election
of president for the spring quar
ter. Byron Glenn, '27, of Ashe
ville, was elected unanimously,
there being no opposition;
'; The outstandipg feature of the
discussion was the dignified
Manner in which the subject
"was approached. Many- had
come to the meeting expecting
to hear a farcical dicussion of
the bill, which Was worded, Re
solved: that it should be a misde
meanor in the State of North
Carolina to hug, kiss, pet, neck,
or otherwise caress ; this'not to
include engaged (couples, close
or first cousins (Senators
Core, Kennett, B. Glenn, and
Waddell) . The bill was used as
basis for a serious attempt to
discussing "necking" as a social
Problem of the youth of today.
The Senate tabled the first
bill on the calendar, Eesolved:
that the Dialectic Senate go on
record as condemning the pro
posed schedule as printed in the
Tar Heel (Senator Brown).
The bill on "necking" was then
brought before tKe house. Sen
ator Byron Glenn, president
elect for the spring quarter,
who was one of the sponsors of
the bill, then introduced Dr.
Bagby, of the psychology depart
ment. Serious After-effects -Dr.
Bagby began by making
clear that it was not his purpose
to lecture on the question. He
pointed out that the bill, as it
was worded, covered many as
pects of the question, most of
them having no serious effects.
However, he stated, "what is
technically known as necking"
in many cases led to serious
after-effects. Its effects were
especially serious in the case of
women, producing a nervous
state that might easily develop
into neurasthenia. He empha
sized that kissing, caressing, and
petting rarely brought any ser-j
ious after-effects, provided they

The election of the Best Ail-
Round-student brought a lot of
competition for that coveted
disgnation. After a close bal
lot, J. H. "Jim" Van Ness, Char-
lotte, manager of varsity foot'
ball this year, was selected as
Best All-Round.
C. T. "Ted" Smith, Charles

eer was chosen as the best stu
dent in the class. lEvidently his
humorous inclinations did not
impede his search of serious
knowledge.
Luther N. Byrd, Mount Airy
was selected as the best writer
in the class. Byrd's ability as a
sports writer has gained him
fame throughout the South.
This election brought about com
plications when Holt McPherson
was nominated for the title, and
it developed that he was a mem
ber of the Junior Class.

TAR HEELS MEET
DEACONS TONIGHT
IN THE TIN CAN

Great Contest Expected When
State Champions Clash with
Southern Conference
: Annexers.
The Tar Heels will bump up
against one of their mosffor
midable opponents of the year
tonight at the Tin Can when
they face the Wake Forest bas
ketball team. The Demon Dea
cons have the strongest team in
the history of their institution
this year, and the only barrier
between them and the state
championship is the White Phan
toms. The Deacons already
have - defeated State College
twice and earned an easy victory
over Duke and if they can an
nex a win over the Tar Heels to
night, they will be virtually as-,
sured of the State championship
cup.
The clash tonight will be the
twenty-second meeting of the
two institutions on the basket
ball floor. The Tar Heels have
easily won the majority of the
games played between the two
schools. Wake Forest's only vic
tory in the past nine years came
last year, when she nosed out the
Southern champions early in the
season by the score of 29 to 28.

Nell Battle Lewis, well-known
North Carolina woman journal
ist spoke Tuesday night in Ger-
rard Hall on "The New Spirit in
Southern Letters." The lecture
was very well received by a medium-sized
audience.
She used as the basis of her
talk a contrast between Thomas
Nelson Page, emblematic of the
old school in Southern letters,
and Ellen Glasgow, one of the
leaders in the present renais
sance in Southern letters. The
contrast was further brought
out by the difference of the two
authors n their handling of the
question of women.
Thomas Nelson Page, as she
pointed out, was a member of a
school of Southern writers that
was frankly patriotic as far as
treatment of the South was con
cerned. Their work was colored
by the romantic chivalry of the
men characters, and the con
tinued silent suffering of their
women characters in all - the
problems of life with which they
were confronted. Obviously,
this was an aristocratic school,
and treated of the rest of the
population only incidently.
Miss Lewis quoted frequent
ly from the "Romantic Come
dians," Ellen Glasgow's success
of the present season, and show
ed that her school was one
frankly critical, and brilliantly
realistic in its treatment of these
same problems. The new school
also treated skillfully the prob
lems of the middle and lower
classes, as is shown in Miss Glas
gow's "Barren Ground." :
Carolina's Papas Tell
the State "It's Your
University." '
Trustees of the University
Tuesday, afternoon voted to re
new their request for a $2,300,-
000 appropriation from the state
budget. Governor McLean, in
whose office the meeting was
held, retired before the body be
gan discussion of the appropria
tion "in view of the fact that I
am director of the budget."
The vote of the trustees came
after President H.W. Chase's
annual report, in which he point
ed out the necessity of the full
amount asked if the University
is to grow toward the standards
of a first class institution. The
state budget commission had
previously recommended an ap
propriation of $1,700,000, which
was $600,000 less than the a
mount promised the University
in the historic six-year program
approved by the state-legislature
in 1921. The vote of the
trustees Tuesday is taken to in
dicate that they are determined
to secure the full amount ori
ginally promised for this year,
if that is possible.
Before the convening of the
trustees Tuesday morning senti
ment toward the appropriation
seemed to be divided. One fac
tion was in favor of making
every effort to persuade the leg
islature to grant the money ask
ed for, while the other seemed
to wish to justify the original re
quests but to accept the govern
or's recommendation of a reduc
ed appropriation x without any
great amount of protest, and to
give the understanding to the
State that "it's your University
do with it what you will, but
first look the facts in the face."
However, there was very lit
tle opposition to the resolution
to renew their request for the
full $2,300,000 and it went
through with comparative ease.
William Rand. Kenan, donor of
the new stadium, was given a
vote of thanks for his gift.

named for the place on the board
left vacant by the recent death

M'LEAN GETS PHI'S
SUPPORT BACK OF
APPROPRIATIONS
Folly of Keeping Pace with Opu
lent Duke Is One of the
Arguments Used.
A number of resolutions were
apidly dispensed with in the dis
cussion at the Phi , Assembly,
Tuesday night. The single bill
to create a lively interest and
thereafter to be defeated was
that the Society go on record as
favoring the'support of the Gen
eral Assembly in the Universi

stead of the amount recommend
ed by the Governor's budget
The opinion of the proponents

(Continued on page three)
In his annual report to the
trustees of the University, which
was delivered in Raleigh Tues
day, President Chase stressed
the necessity for an equal devel
opment of human resources
along with the development of !
natural resources.
Dr. Chase declared that North
Carolina is now entering upon
what promises to be the great
est period of her history, and
that attention must now be paid
to "the intelligent appraisal of
the methods by which the de
velopment of the commonwealth
is to be maintained, its place a
mong its sister, states perman
ently assured."
"Such an appraisal," he said,
"means encouragement of the
development of industry, all pos
sible efforts to place on a more
effective basis the agricultural
life of the state, such a system
of highways as has already
brought about splendid progress.
It means these things and many
more, about which the state has
taken, and is taking, due
thought. But there is, at bot
tom, one thing without which all
such programs must in the end
fall short of their possible out
comes... j .That is provision tor
that trained intelligence and
good will without ! which there
can be no widening basis for
progress."
Specialization. Era
"Unless development of the
human resources of the state
shall keep pace with the devel
opment of its natural resources,
there is no enduring basis for
progress in an industrial "situa
tion that, to meet national com
petition, must constantly become
more specialized and more ef
fective, or in an agricultural sit
uation which requires more and'
more knowledge and intelligence
for the solution of its many
pressing problems.; More and
more will the development of the
state in all of its phases require
trained leadership, and it is
greatly to the advantage of the
state that such leadership
should be developed within its
own borders.''
Speaking of the progress of
the state, Dr. Chase said, "With
its enormous water power, its
good roads, its variety and fer
tility of soil, the national adver
tising it has, received, its fields
of opportunity are infinitely
wider than even ten years ago,
and they will broaden year by
year. The state is nationally
known; men and capital from
other states and sections are be
ing attracted to its borders, and
will be increasingly." , .
Youths' Problem .
A problem lies before the
youth of North Carolina, now
faced within their own borders -
not only by wider opportunities,
but by keener competition and
by more complex problems than
their fathers have known. Will
they hold their own in the strug
gle or will the leadership pass
to other hands?"
The answer to these questions,
he said, depends on whether
North Carolina will be content
with anything less than afirst
