The institute is "meeting un der the auspices of the North Carolina Press Association and the University, and more than a hundred newspapermen from all over this state are .expected to attend. According to Josh Horne, member -of the committee - on arrangements, "Publishers in our state are going to be told in unmistaken terms why our business isn't as prosperous as those in neighboring states, why we haven't as much money in the bank and as much of this world's goods why our per sonal pay envelope misses the total dollars of a publisher of like size and labors somewhere else." Mr. Horne further states that not only are the newspaper men going to be told what is wrong but tfley are going to be shown how to improve. Mr. Lawrence arrives in Ral eigh this morning where he will speak to a joint luncheon given by the civic clubs of Raleigh at 2 :30 today.

The speaker is one of the foremost journalists of the nation. At the age of 15 he began newspaper work on the Buffalo Express, and upon his entrance of Princeton Uni versity he became 1 Associated Press writer for the institution. Graduating in 1910 he contin ued his work with the Associ ated Press until 1915 when he became special correspondent of the New York Evening Post.

SWEET TO GIVE T WO ADDRESSES ONNEXTSUNDAY Speaker Student of Kellogg Pact; Well Informed on Re cent Disarmament Problems. Ex-Go'vernor W. E. Sweet of Colorado will speak here Jan uary 19 under the auspices of the local Y. He will speak at both the morning and evening services at the Methodist church. According to H. F. Comer, general secretary of the Y, "Governor Sweet is a very thor ough student of the Kellogg Peace Pact and his Sunday morning address at the Method ist church on 'The New Patriot ism' will be based largely on the implications of the Kellogg Part. Nn snbiect should be more intereatinir to members of a university community at this particular time, just as our na - tion's special "delegation, chap eroned by Will Rogers, is re porting in London for the Dis armament Conference. "The Governor's 3unday eve ning address will be on a sub ject which in some respects is even closer home to the interest and welfare of North Carolina. His subject will be 'A Valid Christianity Today Governor Sweet's own statement, in a let ter, with reference to his treat ment of this subject, is, 'I have some vvery clear notions about social and econoihic questions. Under the title, "A Valid Christianity for Today," I shall speak with wide freedom on the implications of the gospel as applied to industry. My address will run strictly counter to many accepted ideas of the church people in your state, but if in dustrial ills are ever cured, they must be cured by those who hold strictly to the principles of the Christian Gospel and who want to see them rigidly applied."

Governor Gardner, ex-officio chairman called the commit tee; together, as a. preliminary ; to v the .meeting of the entire! board of trustees in Chapel j Hill, scheduled for the 28th of j Jthis month. Several financial I items were settled in order, to 1 eliminate some of the details . to be brought before the board i at the coming meeting. , .. s:.rAs; is "currently known, the ! fate Memorial hall will be de cided on the 28th. , : Therefore this meeting of the board of ' directors - is drawing . .wide spread interest both among student and the' alumni. The question to 'be settled is whether Memorial hall will be torn down and plans hiade for the construction of a new auditorium, or whether it will be reinforced : and kept in ser vice for another decade. The hall was condemned as unsafe by experts late last fall. Ever since then the Uni versity has been deprived of a place large enough to con tain the freshman class in chapel and suitable for the presentation of entertain ments. ENATE INDUCTS NEW OFFICIALS Senator Rector Favors Reform In Parliamentary Procedure In Dialectic Body. The winter quarter session of the 131st Dialectic Senate con vened last night in its hall on the top floor of New West Building. The meeting, held as an execu tive session, was devoted largely to the installation of new offi cers and the inaugural address of the in-coming president. The new officers inducted into office were : President, Garland Mc Pherson; Clerk, C. A. Shreve; Sergeant-at-arms, E. R. Hamer; and Critic, J. C. Williams. Williams, in -a valedictory ad I dress relinquishing the office of Presi.dent urged-the senators to consider their organization an active and influential organ on the campus. Senator McPher- son, after receiving the oath and cane of office, delivered his in augural address as president. Re-emphasizing the remarks of his predecessor, he further urged independent thinking on the part of individual senators and the Senate - as a body. Though in 'favor of attention to the art of . persuasion, President McPherson laid emphasis upon the less serious aspects of the Senate's activities. At the conclusion of the Presi dent's address the following new members were "admitted to the Senate:- John Dickinson, Lawrence Miller, and W. C. Mc- Corkle. Senator Hector obtained the floor and declared himself in favor of refbrmsand imprbve ments in the appearance and procedure of the Senate. Presi dent McPherson announced that Mr. Howard Y.

Average Of $62.72 By Operating Stores In Dormitories Report Shows 90 Per Cent Of Goods Sold Is Stores Serve As Handling Student managers of the dor mitory stores earned anaverage of $62.72 each for their fall quarter's work, according to the report submitted by P. L. Burch, superintendent 'of the buildings department, and James A; Wil liams, director of 'the dormitory clubs. - T?his'repbrt was 'directed to be drawn "upat a meeting of University officials ,. Mohday morning' with : lh 'Chaseat which the "question of the dor mitory stores -was 1 discussed. The meeting"" cainV at result of an editorial in Saturday's Tar Heel "attacking the stores and demanding their abolition. The report reviews the work of the stores during the fall quarter and emphasizes the fact that they were founded not as competitive organizations to take business from Chapel Hill merchants, but to serve the stu dents living in the dormitories, and to serve as a central point for the handling of all agencies, thus barring solicitors and agents of all kinds from the dor mitories. v $7,000 Business Done The total business done by the stores, according to the report, was $7,009.65. Of this amount one-third was commissions on cleaning," pressing, and shoe repairing- It is pointed out also that the revenue derived from these stores is turned back into the business channels of Chapel Hill. As the store managers buy 90 per cent of their goods from local merchants, the amount of business that the dormiory stores take from the merchants is indeed small. Full Report In order to aid in clearing up Dormitories Will Have Discussions Each Dormitory to Discuss Religious Problems Each Tuesday Night. According to plans made last Monday night at the junior senior cabinet meeting of the Y, each dormitory on the campus will conduct a weekly discussion group on subjects relating to "Religion." It was planned that on a set night each week each dormitory would meet in a speci fied room for the purpose of discussing this subject. Each meeting for the first three weeks of the month will be led by some appointed stuaent. On the fourth week there will be a mass meet ing in Gerrard hall, led by some member of the faculty. At this meeting some 'of the subjects which .were brought up in the dormitory discussions will . be thoroughly discussed. "These discussions will continue for this quarter, then at the end of the quarter a report will probably be published, stating the main points 'which were brought out. about religion. ' Ed Hamer is in charge of the discussion' groups. GARDEN CLUB TO MEET Chris Hibbard of Durham will conduct the members of. the Chapel Hill Garden Club through his Igreenhoiises 'this afternoon.

In" order to prbmpte letter study conditions though te elimina tion of. the former, cpntinupus disturbance caused by. peddlers, solicitors, "and other , forms of wnercantile gentlemen and to lessen the possibility of losses by stealing,, the Carolina dormi tory club recommended to the University that one room be set aside in each dormitory for a Service Room. This room was to handle all pressing, shoe , re pairing, and handle all mer chandise demanded by members of the dormitories.. Certain ex ceptions were made as to the material to be handled, in order to protect the xsanitary condi tions of the dormitories. The Service Rooms were to be op erated by self-help students, se lected on account of their need for the work and on basis of their worthiness. The dormitory agents this past fall were selected originally as telephone monitors. When the agency plan was passed by the University, these men were given first choice for the agen cies, as it - would have been rather harsh to appoint them and then remove them without some consideration. Of this number, 26 in all, three have been dropped through inability to return to school, one has re- (Continued on page four) OLDSMOBILE CAR STOLEN MONDAY ; i Car Had Made Trip From New York By Having Gas Tank Repaired With Gum. A remarkably unusual se quence of events was climaxed by the theft of an automobile belonging to George Brown, be tween the hours of 6 and 7 Mon day evening. . . This is the automobile in which, as was related in a news story appearing in the Sunday issue of the Tar Heel, Brown and a group of friends were able to make a "difficult trip from New York only by, constantly repairing the gas tank with chewing gum. In view of the condition of the car the owner is unable to understand how the robbery was accomplished with such apparent ease and success. Although both the Chapel Hill and Durham police have been notified, no clues have yet been obtained regarding the disap pearance. . The car was parked at the time of the theft on the street between Emerson and freshman fields wherethe grade would aid in starting. . It is a gray Olds mobile sedan of the 1925 model and carries a North . Carolina license, number 276969.
