Ef-
At the usual weekly freshman
chapel meeting yesterday morn
ing, the new student council
members were formally install
ed by Ray Farris, retiring presi
dent of the student body.
Before introducing the incom
ing council members, President
Farris expressed appreciation to
the student -body for the sup
port which he has received dur
ing his term of office.
Speaking on the honor sys
tem of the University, the for
mer president stated that the
system of this university stood
head and shoulders above that
of any other institution in the
country. He wras of the opinion
that although much advance
ment had been made in the past,
that there is still room for more
individual cooperation on the
part of tfie students.
"In order for this honor sys
tem to succeed," declared Presi
dent arris, it is necessary
that each student take it upon
himself to report every man that
is seen en Doing or cheating
on exams or 'quizzes "
The retiring president im
pressed upon his audience the
wonderful experience that he
had gotten from his term as
president, and offered his en
tire support to the new regime
which was about to take its
place. '
President Farris then formal
ly turned over his duties to his
successor, "Red" Greene, who
introduced to the group the
new councilmen who are to work
during the year 1930-31. Those
on the new council are: Harper
Barnes of the rising sophomore
class, Bill Uzzell of the rising
Junior class, Mayne Albright of
the rising senior class, Robert
Graham of the old council, Scott
Benton of the law school, Lexie
Barefoot of the pharmacy school,
and John Quickel of the medical
school, with President "Red"
Greene as chairman of the
group.
The new president began his
inaugural address by giving a
history of the council. He ex
plained that in 1795 a system
of monitors was used in which
members of the faculty would
go around to the rooms of the
student regularly to see if all
was going well. This system
was soon abolished and for some
time government was in the
hands of the ' literary societies.
All members of the student body
were required to join either of
the two societies, and if a stu
dent was expelled from one of
the societies, it meant that he
was expelled from school. This
method was done away with in
1901 wTipti revolt was made
against it.
Since this time' it has been
customary for the presidents of
each of the classes to compose
tViA n,!i -whirli .would have
the same power that had for
merly been invested in the liter
ary societies. ,
Up until 1921 the president of
the senior class acted as chair
man of, the council, but in that
year a- student body presiden
was elected for the first time
and Via ade head of the
council.

tion of the University of North

the 46 colored servants who
wait on the students in dormi
tories, held a meeting last night
and wired Senator Lee S. Over
man a resolution expressing the
view that Judge John J. Parker
"will be fair according to law
to all classes and races" and the
"hope that he will be confirmed
as judge of the supreme court."
Many of the darkies, all of
whom signed the resolution,
knew Judge Parker when he was
a student here and several of
them waited on him. The reso
lution was signed by Kennon
Cheek, president of the janitors'
association.
"We know Judge Parker as
our friend," the resolution con
cluded. "We served him as a
student. We have followed his
career as a citizen and as a
judge. Some of us voted ' for
him for governor. We want to
express our confidence in him
now."

From all parts of the cam
pus the partial eclipse of the
sun was wratched yesterday af
ternoon. The center of observa
tion was, however, the roof of
Phillips " hall where Dr. K. H.
Fussier and his astronomy class
were taking photographs.
Aided by -his astronomy class
and student-assistants of the
physics department, H. H. zur
Burg and W. D. Whitaker, Dr.
Fussier set up a telescope and
a camera on the roof of the
building. During the eclipse a
group of about fifty persons as
sembled there to watch the sun
and the taking of photographs
Eight or ten pictures were tak
en at intervals of about three
minutes.
TTie eclipse was quite visible
to the naked eye here. About
one-fourth of the sun's surface
was covered during the height
of the eclipse at 3 :19 o'clock. It
began at 2:09 p. m. and ended
at 4:24. Up to the highest
point of the eclipse, the weather
conditions were fine, but after-
ward clouds passed across the
sun.
Since the eclipse was only par
tial here, one of the most inter
esting features was the enor
mous sun spot that was visible
through the telescope.' It was
Lther largest,, sun . spot . that.has
been noticed here in a long time.
Although it was hardly discern
ible to the naked eye, it could
he noticed verv easily on the
lower part of the sun through
the telescope.

TO HOLD LAST MEETING
ESPERANTO CLUB TODAY
"Social Legislation as a Meth
od of Social Adjustment" was
the topic of Frank Graham's
address to the North Carolina
Club last night in Bingham hall.
Mr. Graham, who has con
ducted an accurate survey of
social and economic conditions
in this state, offered statistics
which prove that North Caro
lina has undoubtedly become an
industrial commonwealth. He
furthermore showed that there
is need for social and industrial
adjustment, and presents four
working principles for this ad
justment ; they are : liberty ;
religious, political, commercial,
and industrial organization ;
study and analysis; and social
legislation. r -
In his speech last night Mr.
Graham said that England's rise
from economic chaos to sound
social legislation was a strong
point in favor of this policy.
He contends that due to the in
dustrialization of North Caro
lina, agricultural and industrial
organization is not only a neces
sity but a certainty.
An interesting discussion of
present-day conditions in indus
try followed Mr. Graham's in
formal address.
The annual state high school
typewriting contest, sponsored
by the University extension divi
sion in cooperation with the

Delivering the first of a series
of three lectures before the Uni
versity law school here last
night, Junius PaTker, prominent
New York lawyer and formerly
chairman of the board of direc
tors of the American Tobacco
Company, discussed the activi- -ties
of the state in aid or regu
lation of business with special
attention to the activities of the
federal government, including
the protective tariff, the Federal
Reserve System, and the nation
al regulation of interstate car
riers. The general topic of Mr. Par
ker's lectures, which are to be
continued tonight and tomorrow
night at 8:30 o'clock in the law
school building, was announced
as "Business and , the State."
In his lecture last night Mr.
Parker advanced the view that
"business reasons and business;
motives, more than any other,
induced the making of our Con
stitution;
"There had been a loosely knit
confederation of states, each one
of which was regulating com
merce and currency as it saw
fit," he said. "Business was in ,
turmoil, disorder and decay, not
for want of regulation,' but from
over-regulation, by. the state,' ? , ..
From the foundation of our
national government, he said, "it .
has been a cardinal and prac
tical belief of, many of our
statesmen that it should encour
age and give' aid to certain busi
ness activities."
Mr. Parker's lecture tonight
will deal with the Sherman anti
trust law, the Clayton act, and
the federal trade commission
act.

Miss Mamie Parker, Mr. Parker

Glee Club Scores Hit
The last meeting of the Es
peranto class this year will be
held today, in Saunders 109, be
tween 5 and 6 o'clock. The en
tire class agreed to make this
the last meeting by a unanimous
decision.
The University glee club, ac
cording to press reports re
ceived here, has enjoyed a highly
Successful tour. In New Bern,
the concert was characterized as
the best of its kind ever given
there.
The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot,
in regard to their April 24
performance, says: "Singing
many types of music from many
lands, the University of North
Carolina glee club ... captured
the hearts of a large audience
. . . while it marveled at the per
fect tones, perfect timing and
perfect beauty of the fine old
classics . . . including all kinds
of the fine old music, gay and
light, severe and heavy."

Buccaneer Meeting
There will be a very impor

H. N. Patterson,
Business Manager.
The program of the meeting
of the Y cabinets last night was
the challenge given the members
by Mr. Comer's account of the
North Carolina Conference for
Social Legislation held at Char
lotte on April 13 to 15. Accord
ing to Mi. Comer, the people of
Charlotte were surprised at the
sincerity of the conference. Pro
fessor Frank Graham of the
University stirred the confer
ence with his fiery speeches
against the now prevalent ten-
dency toward profit -making
only.
In his speeches he showed how
the majority of people through
out the United States lived on
the idea of doing only what they
thought would help them. Mr.
Comer threw out the challenge
to the Y members to stop this
attitude on this campus. The
Charlotte conference was kin
dled by the speeches made by the
noted English Socialist Sir Her
bert Grey when he was at the
University several months ago.
The meeting last night was
conducted by F. M. James in the
absence of the president, vice
president and secretary. Atten
tion was called to the coming
