Page Four THE T A It HEEL Tuesday, April 23, 1929 Faculty to Take Action on New Fraternity Regulations Continued from, first page) report their scholastic standing to a national inter-fraternity scholarship committee. For the last fire years the percentage of those institutions in which the fraternity average is above the academic average ha3 rang ed from 33 per cent to 43 per cent. During the last three ot tnose years the margin of fraternities over the academic average at this institution has been respectively greatest, second greatest, and third greatest among all tiiose reported. III. The previous paragraphs mean briefly that the scholarship of bur 36 fraternities compares favorably with fraternity scholarship the country over and that this comparison has consistently improved every time the rushing period has been shortened The question naturally occurs whe ther the fraternity men make better grades because they are more capable and better prepared or because mem bership is conducive to better scholar ship. The following table indicates the growth of fraternities during the last four years and apparent improve ment in the quality of men pledged: PLAN TO ARRANGE RADIO DEBATING Admiral Magruder Lauds The Paris Peace Treaty In Chapel Address Here (Continued from page one) Debate Council Is Attempting to we could not go to war even in self- Schedule Affairs for defense.

By this time the appetite of the new men had already lost interest in steak and potatoes. The search revealed nothing of Col. . The explosion was completed when the committee returned with their quarry, the "visitor." Mr. George Ragsdale, a former president of the Grail, was the celebrated "visitor" who had been invited to drop the bomb in camp. Planned for the perturbation of the initiates, the spark, had fallen among inflamables and the old members had furnished willing suckers. For several hours afterward the health of Dr. Horace Williams and Dr. Bully Bernard was in doubt as their mirth was almost as explosive as the bomb itself. (Perkins, Farris, and .

To ascertain to what extent this was the case two match groups of students were picked from the) classes of 9 and '30, twenty-six in each case. The term "matched" refers to the fact that each man in the fraternity group of twenty-six was matched in psy chological test score and high schoo grades by one of the twenty-six non- fraternity men. When psychologica test score, high school grades, ana class in college were all equivilent in this manner, the scholastic average o the two groups throughout the exten of their college course was found to be very nearly identical. The same equality occured in the fall quarter of the freshman year when one group was being rushed and the other not. In other words, so far as this sample is representative, students' scholastic achievement is proportional to hig' school preparation and mental alert ness and is not perceptibly affected for better or worse by fraternity rush ing or fraternity membership, al though apparent individual instances to the contrary have often been noted Local TVIen Talk at Collegiate Press Meeting tish commonwealth has no idea what soever in keeping us from taking our proper place in the world," that rival ry is to be by peaceful means.

"College criticism is most success ful when the critic goes back to see what the writer or the dramatist or the lecturer is trying to do and then condemns or praises him on how well he does that.

A tennis player can be no faster than his racquet. The Dayton is the fastest. Perhaps you can' t teach some old dogs new tricks but the new generation turns always to the rising mode, to the mode of whip-steel speed. It asks for all-teel in its roadsters, its airplanes, its tennis racquets. Certified laboratory tests prove that the Dayton Steel Tennis Racquet has 43 less air resistance than the average wood-and-gut racquet. They prove further that the same effort drives a ball 20' faster with a Dayton. And that extra 20 gives you the jump on speedier play ers.

The main portion of his lecture, however, was devoted to the story of the lif e of Sir William Osier. Beginning with the boyhood days of Osier in Canada, he traced him in his work at McGill University, Montreal, later at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, and finally at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. MacNider classed Osier as one of the greatest men in American medicine. Physical Diagnosis Class Makes Trips Dr. R. B.

A motion to establish a cut service was defeated by the convention. A committee was named to con sider a permanent plan for the award ing of the prizes. iThe delegates expressed their thanks for the hospitality shown them by Greensboro firms who entertained them and. rendered many services which made the convention enjoyable. Grail Members Drive Visitor From Initiation Banquet (Continued from first page) It seems your school is declining fast, and if" Col. got no further. Aubrey Perkins, assistant, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., abruptly requested the speaker to yield the floor, and pro ceeded to denounce the visitor and answer his statements in no uncertain terms. The visitor, quite abashed, continued standiiig. The presiding of ficer, Winfield Crew, called Mr. Per kins' out of order, and began to plead sincere embarassment in the face of the circumstances. But he was im mediately interrupted by an outburst of denunciations of the visiting speak er by Ray Farris, president of the stu dent body. The uneasiness of the group was quite apparent. There were attempts to gain the floor. Farris continued his outburst of football en thusiasm for his University, while nearby members tagged at his coat. The visitor was withdrawing from the hall, when John Anderson, visibly excited, gained a hearing, calling upon the visitor to forgive impru dence and childish rudeness of the members who had so interrupted a guest of the Order before he had finished his say or explained his re marks. Visibly excited, President Crew appeared unequal to v the oc casion. Frazier Glenn rose in a bit ter rebuke to Perkins and Farris for their insults to the guest of the even ing, regardless of the seemingly dis courteous remarks of the visitor, which he was not given opportunity to qualify. Mac Gray added his dis sent to that of Glenn and Anderson, but the guest had flown, and the clash between football enthusiasm and the desire for fair play and chivalry to wards a guest had only begun. After expressions pro and con, Perkins apologized for his lack of control, and Farris and Perkins were appointed on a committee to find the visitor and if possible bring him back to the hall.
