Formal rushing in the Greek letter fraternities for the spring semester will
begin Friday night, March 23,, and continue through Sunday night, March
25, announced Bill McKenzie, president of the Interfraternity Council.'
The council decided on these dates
and diet the rushing hours as 7 to 10
o'clock Friday night, 2 to 6 Saturday
afternoon, and 7 to 11 Sunday night,
: Rush chairmen of the fraternities
are required to submit their irivita
tions and their $50 rushing bonds to
Dougald McMillan not later than 3

will be imposed on any fraternity
who is late in submitting, these invi
tations and bonds. After the formal
rushing period, bids must be submit
ted to Dean E. L. Mackie before 2
o'clock Monday, March 26, before a
rushee may be pledged.
Rush Rules
President McKenzie urges that all
fraternities pay special attention to
the rushing rules and abide by them
strictly. He stated that recently there
has been entirely too much illegal
rushing because the fraternities were
not fully acquainted with the rushing
rules as set up by the council. Spe
cial effort has been made to post
these rules on the campus and in all
the fraternity houses. McKenzie sug
gests that all fraternities carefully
read all of the rules and if there is
any part which they do not under
stand, they should contact him.
The number of men on the campus
who have not been' through a rush
period on this Campus are now under
a strict silence and no member of any

Di Senate Chamber Livens Up
As Liberal Debate Is Heard
By Mildred Kreshik
Condemning South building on one
side and sirfging the praises of an in
stitution which measures liberal by
most yardsticks, the Di Senate cham
ber came alive Wednesday night when
senators and visitors expressed their
opinions, barring none, concerning
Carolina in one of the most spirited
meetings this year.
Whether the University of North
Carolina is liberal or not is still a de
batable question depending on one's
point of view. However, as far as
freedom of expression is concerned,
that freedom was in full glory at the
Di session. The administration makes
no restaint inhis regard and as guest
visitor Chancellor R. B. House re
marked, "Every student has the right
. to make a damned fool of himself."
The occasion of the meeting was the
inauguration of the Di's 409th presi
dent, Robert Morrison who reviewed
the history of this organization which
had its beginning as a debating' soci
ety with twelve members in 1795.
Midst the portraits of former Di
members who became great in state
and national life, Morrison related the

Supports Wallace
For Editor Post
The .Tar Heel staff meeting in
regular session Thursday afternoon
voted for Jimmy Wallace as the
staff nominee to the editorship of
the Tar Heel.

for the staff to voice their opinion
on the matter publicly. The staff is
made up of both University and
Student Party members. However,
the members are asked to name
their choice in consideration of the
one most capable to direct them as
they will have to work under the
man the student body elects.
Little discussion took place on
the matter and Wallace was accept
ed by acclamation in the staff meet-mg.

CRIL Brings Noted Journalist
To Campus, Lectures Sunday
By Ruth Whitson
On the evening of March 25 the Council for Religion in Life is going to
sponsor what promises to be an extremely interesting program. Martin
Hall, German-born and educated journalist, will be the guest speaker.
Hall can speak from personal ex
perience on conditions in Europe, and
more specifically, Germany. Hall re

universities, Munich, Marburg and
Berlin. Since 1924, as a free-lance
journalist, he has traveled widely
over Europe and has watched closely
the decline of Democracy and the rise
of Nazism.
Hall has had direct contact, with
Hitler and most of the leading men of
Germany. From 1933 to 1936 he cov
ered the underground movement of
the German people for foreign news
papers such as the Manchester Guar
dian. Forced to flee from Germany in
order to avoid arrest and later exiled
by the German government, Hall
spent one year in Paris and came to
the United States in 1938.
Lecturer
He has since appeared before the
University of Washington, Stanford
University, Oregon University, Utah
University, Reed College and many
other colleges and high schools

Holdover Members
Smooth sailing . . . probably the
calm before the storm . . . character
ized the Student Legislature Thurs
day night when two bills were unani
mously passed and two more went
through with only one dissenting
vote.
The office-eligibility bill which was
expected to call forth quite a vigor
ous discussion was tabled until the
next session. Following a joint meet
ing of the faculty extra-activity eli
gibility committee and 10 student body
representatives, a plan was agreed
upon by which the pending bill was
drawn up. Since the bill was only
written Tuesday night, the Legisla
tors had not had time to consider it,
so discussion and voting was held
over until next Thursday night.
Yack Editor
Gene Johnstone was unanimously
approved as the acting editor of the
Yackety Yack with the stipulation
that he carry out the major plans
of the retiring editor, since Johnstone
was recommended by Cookie Marett,
outgoing editor, who was elected by a
large majority of the student body.
Regular hold-over members to the
Legislature for the coming year were
unanimously elected as follows: Emily
Aliton, Mavis Mann, A. B. Smith, Jon
Tuthill, Allan Pannill and Charles
Fulton.

usually confronts a new Legislature

members, a parliamentary committee
