U. N. C. - PENN STATE BOXING MATCH TIN CAN - 8:30 TONIGHT U. N. C. - PENN STATE BOXING MATCH TIN CAN - 8:30 TONIGHT VOLUME XXXVIII CHAPEL HILL, N. C SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1930 NUMBER 112 it ! I tiauipus is . aauuenea ioy .Di Chase9s Resignation Much Speculation Concerning Successor; Connor, Henderson And Graham Most Frequently Mentioned. (By R. W. Madry) A pall of sadness tinged with pride hung low over the Univer sity of North Carolina campus today when it was learned of ficially that President Harry Woodburn Chase had tendered his resignation. In the twenty years that he has been here the University community has learned to "know and to love Dr. Chase. He and his faculty have been a happy official family. They have work ed as teammates and always in the closest harmony,! As was the ! case in the Graham administra tion, there have been no factions in the Chase administration, The students held him in high est regard as their leader. They respected him for his education al statesmanship and his cath olic views, but they loved him most perhaps because they felt that he was so human. They never found in Dr. Chase any thing that resembled sham or hypocrisy. Mingled with this sadness and regret over his resignation was a strong pride in the great op portunity that will come to him as president of the University of Illinois, one of the half dozen largest universities in the coun try. . ' . - Students and faculty alike were comforted today by ihe4 thought that in calling Dr. Chase away from Chapel Hill the Uni versity, of Illinois had not only given him an enlarged opportun ity to serve the nation but at the same time had paid the Univer sity of North Carolina in par ticular and the south in general the highest of tributes. Messages of regret and con gratulation poured in all day. Most of the congratulations came from Illinois, most of the regrets from North Carolina, although a number of telegrams contained both. Dr. David Kin ley, who is retiring and whom Dr. Chase is to succeed, was one of the first to offer felicitations. Then came messages from Illi nois alumni association, from the faculty, student body, trustees, and numerous student organiza tions. They all ran in the same vein. They were all tremendous ly enthusiastic and gratified that Dr. Chase was coming to live with them. One of the most enthusiastic messages came from President L. D. Cuff man of the University of Minnesota. It is understood that Governor Max Gardner is to call a special meeting of the board of trustees to consider a successor to Dr. Chase. If there se any avowed can didates they were not announc ing themselves today. That fact, however, did not prevent the community from indulging in a generous amount of speculation. The view was expressed by many that the next head of the (Continued on last page) A Correction In Friday's Tar Heel it was stated that T. R.

CO-OP STUDENTS TO SCATTER TO DISTANT POINTS Junior Engineering Men' Will Start Practical Experience Monday; Some To Middle West. V Monday morning twenty mem bers of group 1 of the junior cooperative engineering stu dents will report for work with the various firms to which they have been assigned, and the men whom they are replacing will begin a seven week's period of study here at the University. Since 1922 when the system of a cooperative junior : year was installed in the school of engi neering, junior students in this school have spent half their time at the University and the other half doing actual work with var ious firms who use the students in their organizations. This year the students are working with many different or ganizations, some in Chapel Hill and some as far away as Illinois. Within the state the group will go to the Armature Winding Company, the Duke Power Com pany, R. H. Bouligny and Com pany, and the Charlotte Filter Plant, all in Charlotte; the Tide water Power and Light Com pany at Wilmington; the U. C. S. P. and the State Department of Conservation and Develop ment in Chapel Hill ; and the lo: eating and bridge departments of the State Highway at Marion and Raleigh. 1 Outside the state the men will go to the Maintenance Depart ment of the Southern Railway at Danville, the Catipillar Tractor Company in Peoria, Illinois, the Illinois Telephone Company at Chicago, and the Milwaukee Sewage Commission in Milwau kee, Wisconsin. ' The system of cooperative work which is used at the Uni versity is known as the Harvard plan in which one year of the course is spent in cooperative work with the students spending half their time in school and the other half on the job. The idea of having students do coopera tive work originated at the Uni versity of Cincinnati about 1906, when a five year curriculum was adapted which included the fea ture that half of the . student's time was to be spent doing actual work. This plan was altered at Harvard to include only one year of cooperative work. This plan was adopted here in 1922. The plan of cooperative work for students in the school of en gineering was installed because through it the students obtain a Continued on page two) College Students Of School Become Business Men (By Jay Dratler) Lol and behold! We have at last discovered, without the aid of the incomparable Sherlock Holmes and his bewildered Dr. Watson, what becomes of men who drop out of school before the end of the quarter. David W. Bell of Washington, D. C, dropped out of school a couple of weeks ago because of ill health. And because of ill wealth he promptly searched around for a job. He finally got one in Durham to be near his girl friend, he said with a pub lishing and advertising concern. The firm was in its infancy when Bell secured the job, tmd it , was incorporated a few days later; he bought some Changes In Rhodes Scholarship Will Affect Carolina Students Debating Notice A The following .rules will be observed in awarding the gold monogram in debating ' this year: 1.

ENGINEERS DISCUSS CO-OPERATIVE JOBS At the meeting of the William Cain student chapter of the A. S. C. E. Thursday night, five junior members of the society gave brief descriptions of the co operative jobs on which they have been working this year. The work with the Southern Railway at Danville, the State Department of Conservation and Development, the locating and bridge divisions of the State Highway Commission, the Char lotte Water Works, and the Chapel Hill Filtration Plant was discussed briefly by the students who have been working on these jobs. The program, which was un derlie .. direction of "Chuck" Erickson, vice-president of the society, was presented for the purpose of acquainting the sophomore members with the jobs that will be open to them next year. Meetings Of Taylor Society Open To All To correct a false impression that has arisen in the minds of some, that the meetings of the University branch of the Taylor Society are open to members only, the president of the branch, W. C. Burnett, has stated that all meeting of the Society are open to the public and that anyone interested in the subjects under discussion at the meetings is urged to attend. During this quarter the So ciety has heard several faculty speakers who have spoken on various matters related to busi ness management. At the next meeting, Tuesday evening, Pro fessor Taylor, of the school of commerce and economics, will speak on "Scientific Manage ment in Marketing." Who Drop Out of the first stock issued. The "Seeing America First and Tell ing the World Co." as it was named, invited all of the original stockholders to servo on the board of directors and Bell was included. Soon afterward he displayed such diligence and aptitude that the president of the firm, W. M. Laughorn of Virginia, made him general sales manager. And now, after about two weeks, he is major stockholder in the cor poration, a member of the board of directors, and general sales manager of a half-million dollar concern. Now you know what happens to fellows who don't want to study. They become big business men. That's it, exactly. Candidates To Be Chosen From Districts Instead Of States; A Total Of Thirty-Two Schol arships From United States. The recent changes in the ad ministration of the Rhodes Scholarship Fund will affect the applications from the Universi ty of North Carolina students, according to an announcement from Dean Addison Hibbard of the College of Liberal Arts. Local candidates for the scholarships which begin in October of 1931, must be in the hands of Mr. Hibbard, head of the local committee, by October 18 of this year. On December 6th two candidates will be se lected to represent North Caro lina at the district meeting which will be held about two weeks later. The district which this state is in includes Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. Four candidates will be selected out of each of the eight dis tricts in the United States, thus making thirty-two Rhodes Scho lars from this country. Another important change is that beginning in 1930 Rhodes Scholars will be allowed the op tion of spending their third year at Oxford or at any other University in the world, outside their native country, provided it may be best for the pursu ance of their studies. They will be allowed to take their third year's work immediately after the completion of the first and second year's work, or they may return to the United States af ter the first two years at Ox ford and work here several years and then return to Eng land for the third year. The stipend of a Rhodes Scho lar is 400 pounds (approximate ly $2,000), and no restriction is placed upon the choice of studies of a Rhodes Scholar. In order to become eligible for the can didacy of a Rhodes Scholarship the annlicant must be a male citizen of the United States be tween the acres of 19 and 25 and unmarried. He also must have completed at least his sophomore year in college. A candidate may apply in the state in which he resides or in the one where he has received two years or more of his college education. The Qualities considered in a making the selection are as fol lows: (1) Literary and scholastic ability and attainments. (2) Qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, svmDathv. kindliness,, useful- ness and fellowship. (3) Exhibition of moral force of character and of instincts to lead and to take an interest in his schoolmates. (4) Physical vigor as shown by interest in outdoor sports or m other ways.
