Gives Way To President
Hamer.
At a joint meeting of the Y
cabinets last 'night the new of
ficers of the Y were installed.
Parson W. D. Moss of the
Presbyterian church read the
seventeenth chapter of St. John's
gospel and based his installation
address on this scripture. He
showed how important it was to
give oneself to the truth in or
der to succeed in any task. He
gave examples of great men in
this country who owe their suc
cess to tnis quality. After his
speech on the way to success, he
gave a brief history of the Y.
M. C. A. organization in Amer-
ica anu in ims uiiivexsiLy.
t
It was shown that the present
Y building is inadequate for the
needs of the student body. After
having charged , the out-going
president, James Williams, to
keep up his work, Parson Moss
gave the new president, Ed
Hamer, the formula to success
as portrayed in the seventeenth

chapter of St. John. -

WILL INVESTIGATE
STATUS OF SENATE
Owing to the recent agitation
in the Di senate arising out of
the assertion that the senate is
on the verge of extinction, pre-sident-pro-tem
Medford, presid
ing last Tuesday night in the ab
sence of President Rector, ap
pointed a committee to investi
gate the present standing of the
senate on the campus, and to
draw up a list of recommenda
tions for its improvement. This
committee which is composed of
Senators Dratler, Wood and
Williams will make its report at
the regular meeting of the senate
tonight.
When he report of the com
mittee has been heard, the sena
tors will discuss it and make
amendments accordingly. Work
ing through this committee on
reconstruction, the officials of
the Di hope to accelerate the
present amount of interest in its
work.
Phi To Debate Co-eds
The bill coming before the
Phi Assembly at its regular
meeting tonight' is "Resolved,
That the co-eds should be ad
mitted into ' the 1 Phi Assembly
with full privileges of that in
stitution.' V This bill is one of
five recommendations that for
mer Speaker Lang submitted to
the assembly in his final address.

Dean Braune To Deliver Ad
dress At Eight O'clock In
Phillips Hall.
Tonight the robed and hooded
figures of Tau Beta Pi, national
honorary engineering scholastic
fraternity, will stalk among
those present at the annual
spring tapping and pounce, upon
chosen members of the group,
thus signifying that these men
have shown scholastic excellence
and character development
which fits them for membership
in this organization which re
cognizes these qualities in en
gineering students throughout
the country.
In this impressive way, Tau
Beta Pi, the engineering organi
zation corresponding to Phi
Beta Kappa, will make known to
the campus those men who have
been particularly successful in
their work in engineering. 4
G. M. Braune, dean of the
school of Engineering, will be
the principal speaker at the tap
ping .Tuesday evening, which
will be held in Phillips Hall at
8:00 o'clock:
Twice each year, tappings are
held ; once in the spring when
seniors and rising seniors . are
eligible for membership, and
again in the fall, when mem
bers of the senior class alone are
qualified.
- -The chapter of the fraternity
at Carolina, Beta of -North Car
olina, is one of over 60 chapters
in the United States. Since its
organization at Lehigh Univer
sity in 1885, 45 years ago, more
than 16,000 engineers have been
tapped for membership in the
group, and many of the most
prominent engineers in the
country have been initiated and
wear the symbol of the frater
nity. Tau Beta Pi is one of three
national honorary fraternities
on the campus. The other two
are Phi Beta Kappa, the universally-known
scholastic frater
nity, and Sigma Xi, the honor
ary scientific research society. .

similar to that which will be
used again this year, the f rater

Nucleus Of an Expanding Group of Artists Find
s University Ideal Place To Work.
. o
(By Peggy Lintner)
From somewhere there has
evolved itself the vague and pop
ular conception that art is born
in that atmosphere garnished
with the odor of oil paints, beef
steak and onions, wet clay,
Caron's Narcisse Noir, and the
subtle Arabic incense and that
it is ushered into being to the
tune of Chopin's nocturne in E
flat. That is the exaggerated
Greenwich Village art colony of
O. Henry.
If Greenwich Village can lay
claim to the title of artists ren
dezvous of New York, Chapel
Hill can without reserve lay
claim to that title in North Caro
lina. Only recently has it been
noted that vthe nucleus of a col
ony of portrait painters has dis
tributed itself throughout the
picturesque quaintness of this
well known village.
Senior Dance
Dave Nims, chairman of
the senior dance committee,
has announced that negotia
tions are underway with sev
eral , well-known out-of-town
orchestras to play for the
dance on May 16. It is ex
pected that this affair will be
the most outstanding class
dance of the year since it is
being staged during a week
end full of social activities,
including a Grail dance, sev
eral houseparties, ,and two
tea dances. In view of this
fact the members of the class
of 1930 are urged to invite
a large and beautiful group
of girls in order to assure the
success of the dance.
LOCAL FORENSIC
ARTISTS VICTORS
IN BOSTON TILT
One of the best intercollegiate
debates of the year took place
in Gerrard hall Saturday night
when the Tar " Heel debaters
tackled the Boston University
aggregation on "Resolved, That
the nations of the world should
adopt some plan of complete dis
armament of all forces, except
those which are needed for po
lice purposes." The local team,
composed of J. M. Baley, G. P.
Carr and J. A. Wilkinson, up
held the affirmative side of the
argument.
The Boston team stopped in
Chapel Hill for a debate with
the University -in the course of
a tour of the south which will
have lasted for 16 days when
it has been completed. From
here they went to Gainesville
for a debate with the Univer
sity of Florida.
After an hour and one-half
of heated argument, which
seemed hotter as each succeed
ing speaker held forth, the Caro
lina team was awarded the de
cision. It is interesting to note
that this was the first time that
the Boston team had lost on the
tour despite the fact that they
had debated the same question
a dozen times on the trip. This
was also the first loss recorded
against the Bostonians since the
opening of the present collegiate
year.
Early in May Carolina will
send a team to Boston to debate
the same question.
So quietly and unobtrusively
have these painters merged with
the host of celebrities in Chapel
Hill that the growth of the
movement has scarcely been ob
served, much less mentioned.
Ten years ago there was not one
known or unknown portrait
painter in the immediate vicin
ity. Today Chapel Hill boasts
of three artists who are widely
known for their fine work. The
names of William A. Steene,
Mrs. A. C. Nash and Mrs. Mary
Graves Rees are fast becoming
familiar to national art circles.
Why He Likes Chapel Hill
"Chapel Hill," says Mr. Steene
who is a well known portrait
painter in and about New York
and through the south today, "is
conducive to any work requiring
leisure, quiet, time for observar

SIX FRATS MAKE
PLANS TO STAGE
: MAY EMIG. SOON
Biggest Program Of The Spring
Season; To Include Three
Dances.
On the week-end of May 2 and
3, six of the fraternities on the
Hill are to stage probably one
of the biggest dance programs
of the season. This program is
to consist of three large dances ;
two of them are to be given oh
Friday and Saturday nights in
Bynum gymnasium and the
third is to be a tea dance in the
Washington-Duke hotel in Dur
ham on Saturday afternoon.
Music for the two dances to
be held in the gymnasium is to
be furnished by "Jelly" Left
wich and his orchestra. ' So far
no one has been engaged for tea
dance. The committee in charge
of the dances stated that al
though no one has yet been se
cured for this dance, someone
will be engaged in due time and
good music may be expected.
The six fraternities that are
giving these dances are Beta
Theta Pi, D. K. E., Sigma Nu,
Sigma Chi, Phi !Qelta Theta and
Zeta Psi. The Sigma Nu and
Phi Delta Theta fraternities are
the only ones that have planned
so far to have house parties for

HANDBOOK WILL
HA VEMW STAFF
Six Editorial Positions To Be
Filled; Staff Tryouts To
morrow At Seven.
The first call for staff mem
bers of the Carolina Handbook
was issued by the editor yester
day. All aspirants who desire
to become associated with this
publication should Attend the 15
minute meeting of the staff
wljich will be held in the Tar
Heel oil ice Wednesday night at
seven o'clock. No previous ex
perience in journalistic work is
necessary.
The purpose in increasing the
size of the editorial staff is to
lessen the responsibility of the
present editors, distribute the
work of the publication among
a larger group, and at the same
time give valuable experience
and training to those engaged in
this work.
There are six positions open
for Occupancy. These include:
associate, assistant, organiza
tion, town, athletic and Y. M.
C. A. editors. The work con
sists mainly of make up, ar
rangement of copy, and the veri
fication of athletic and scholas
tic honors, letters, numerals, etc.
Next year's editor will be chosen
from this group.
The Carolina Handbook is
unique in size, make up, and
the number of pages. In no
other southern school is the
Handbook as large. The ma
jority of them are merely vest-,
pocket editions. The use of il
lustrated pictures is another dis
tinguishing feature of the Uni
versity publication. , '
The unusual excellency of the
Carolina Handbook is verified by
the fact that many northern
schools have begun to edit and
pattern their publications in a
similar manner.
The 1930-31 edition of the
Handbook, which goes to press
May 15, will include ten addi
tional pages and a new change
in typography.
