The meeting of the Dialectic Senate Tuesday night was opened by a sug gestion that the hour of meeting be changed from 7:15 to 7:00. The idea met with the approval of the senate and became a matter of fact for fu ture meetings. ; Seiialfor J. sV Williams introduced this resolution: "Be it ' resolved that the Dialectic , Senate go on record as fayoring. ownership and operation of muscle shoals by, the , United States Government." ,' In discussing the mat ter the senator stated that the. United States is the only great power which depends upon another country for; its supply . of nitrates. . He asserted that the nitrate derived from muscle shoals contains more nitrogen than that which the United' States imports from Chile. If the plant at muscle shoals were" fully .developed it would supply enough nitrogen for. the. use of the American people both in time of war and in, time of peace," declared the speaker. .. In attempting to clarify, the matter before the senate.; .Senator, . Parsons asserted,. that "the problem at issue is whether the. United States Govern ment , will sell v the plant to some private company, or operate it as a Federal enterprise." The speaker re minded, the, senate that this phase of the problem had been discussed at length in congress. ' Senator Gilreath asserted that, the fact that, - the Federal .Govern ment has spent a vast suml of money on the project makes it wise to either operate the plant to the . limit of its capacity, or not , at all. The senator asserted, that at present only one fifth of the plant -is being utilized. The speaker suggested that a muscle shoals corporation be formed which would lease the plant for a period of five years. : : A vote of the .senate' defeated the resolution by a substantial margin. "In defense of his resolution ,to the effect that the; Dialectic" Senate should favor the abolition of the jury system Senator Gilreath alluded to the injustice of American courts to day. The senator reminded the senate that the matter of . trial by jury had its beginning centuries ago. "The average juror is three weeks behind time in the matter of current informa tion and knows almost nothing of scientific problems," declared the speaker. This situation, he contend ed, placed the jury at the mercy of shrewd lawyers: - The senator advo cated the idea of a jury composed of skilled technicians. ; ; Senator Dungan spoke at length concerning the financial phase of trial by jury as compared with other systems. ' He asserted the financial specialized men would demand large salaries. This, he contended, would certainly constitute a grievance. The speaker contended that the human element manifested in the system of trial by jury was of greater signi ficance than the purely scientific at titudes of a jury composed of tech nicians. . Senator Chandler contended that the matter of paying a jury should not have any - bearing on the matter of selecting a good one. The senator contended that the fact that intelli gent people are loathe to serve on a1 jury which enables lawyers to select men who 'will be swayed by their opinions. The speaker maintained stoutly, that the .solution to the pro blem lay in paying' a jury of intelli gent men to try cases permanently. Senator Norwood maintained that the big problem lay in- finding a method of choosing an intelligent jury. "New-fangled ideas about the jury system are no good," declared the senator. He argued that the matter of sympathy was of the utmost im portance in any trial. The senate -defeated the resolution by a large margin. i V Zimmerman To Conduct Survey of Porto : Rico Dr. E. W. Zimmerman, of the school of commerce, will leave January 3 for San Juan, Porto Rico, to conduct a survey of the island according to statement made yesterday from the school of commerce.

Chase and Freeman Are Speakers at Southern' Educational Conference (Continued from page tne) "There is much: about this, world that is distasteful to Southern, habits and traditions. It is a world whose center, of gravity is different", he said. As a result of this .'necessity of adjusting itself to new situations, "There is in Southern life today a restlessness, a ferment, a sense of change. There is a strain, a tension at the center things." "It is not only in a political sense that the Solid Sjouth is breaking under the strain of continuedpeacef ul pene trations,"" Dr.v Chase said in opening his address,, "In outlook, in, their social, and industrial order, states like Virginia and.. North Carolina tend more and more to be j different from such states as Mississippi or Louisi ana." . r, ' . The speaker .pointed out, peculiar problems '.of the South in reference to the race question, the problem of agriculture,; the peculiar features which distinguish Southern industry, its .lack of - concentration in a few great centers . ;with city slums, its strong .traditions, and philosophy to ward labor. He said the problems of illiteracy are "due j in large measure to short school, term, irregular atten dance, poor teaching, and the lack of an environment that converts the power into the desire to read." I . Dr. Chase discussed the conditions which have, brought about the new world of machinery and science ; the smith's greatest struggle " to meet these conditions ; the financial prob lems of state and private founda tions.; "We must go thoughtfully forward; we cannot evade difficul ties." . ;V . . , , Dr. Freeman in his address advo cated class newspapers such as are found in many sections of Europe and in a few instances in America, as remedies for "the 'failure' of 'the American press to perform . its great funetion as an educator." x .When the forces of education are sized up," he said, "we must put the American " Press far down the list, and the fundamental reason for this is that the great goal of journalism today is the great course of journa lism, that is, increased circulation. The more circulation the more adver tising, and , the more advertising the bigger paper that, seems to be the slogan of most American newspapers today," the Virginian asserted. Dr. Freeman listed three other reasons for the failure of the Ameri can Press as an educator. These, he said, are the "Speed with which pa pers have to be published, frequent ly, making for poor workmanship, lack of properly trained . personnel, and lack of plant equipment. The American Press reaches sev enty million people. In its "eternal quest for more circulation it seeks to appeal to all classes and seeks as a common dominator the unreached prospective subscriber, who usually is a person of lower mentality. Only one paper in the South has as many as"2,000 books in its library. The personnel of the papers are be ing "improved, the speaker stated, by the entrance of many college men in to, the field. He urged better plants and . better personnel' for all newspa pers. , ; : . v' ' - . .. . . : Newspaper editors, Dr. Freeman said, ought to have closer contact with the current of. educational af fairs. ,V , " Makes Study of Weekly Papers , (Continued from page one) . raising standards of country news papers: Mrs. Brinton suggested the "interesting of tfountry r editors in evaluating their papers by " means of a classification of the kinds of ma terial used."
