' ': At their quarterly Join meetr ing last night, the Di and Phi had for thier chief topic of dis cussion the question, "Resolved, That the defeat of Judge John J. Parker devolved upon the Democratic Party." One of the liveliest and most interesting discussions of either organiza tion during the year took place and resulted in the defeat of the bill by a vote of 19-11. Visitors and those Who were forced to leave before a vote was taken had no say in the matter. How ever, Jironi the amount of discus sion against the measure, the bill represented the views of thdse who attended the meeting. Representative Wilkinson, of the Phi Assembly, upheld in a credible and fiery manner the bill which he had sponsored. Speaker Carry also of the Phi, assisted him in leading the argu ments for trie bill. He pointed out that the Democratic party continually attempts to embar rass the administration by de feating its policies, and this was another such attempt. He with Representative Wil kinson, who really led the that the senator s vote in a par tisan manner in most cases, aria that it was the partisan vote of the Democrats, not their belief that Judsfe Parker was ineffi- s , , cieht or undesirable, that defeat ed his appointment. Representative Speight led the opponents of the bill. He based his reasons on the fact that Par ker's attitude toward the ne groes and toward the "Yellow Dog Contracts" caused . his de feat. He added, that it was the Republican senators, who did not like these beliefs of Parkery that carried the senate against con firmation. President Rector of the Di Senate, who; presided at the ses sion, descended from the. chair in suppjart of theopponjnts of the' Dill.

A Jew, a Catholic, and a Pro testant in a symposium held last night in Gerrard hall gave their own reasons for their beliefs in their separate religions. Rabbi Nathan . Krass of New York City spoke for. the Jewish faith; Hon. R. D. Douglas of Greens boro for the Catholic, and Dean Elbert Russell of Duke Univer sity for the Protestant. Rabbi Krass, the first speak er, stated that one of the main reasons for his belief in the Jew ish faith was, probably because he was born and reared one. It was his belief that one's religion depends largely upon his geo graphy and his racial antece dents. "We - are born in one faith," stated the speaker, "and it is usually in that faith we remain." Taking up a little history of Judaism, he stated that Christ ianity, Mohammedanism, and numerous other religions origin ally came from the old Jewish faith. lie also stated further that at least seventy-five per cent of the Protestant Bible was translated directly from the He brew Bible, and even a larger percent of the. Catholic Bible. "'the main difference between Christianity and Judaism is the divinity of Christ," continued Rarjbi Krass. He said that Protestantism revolves around Christ and His life; ' whereas Judaism revolves; around! , hp specific person. , tie, sHt'ed that Judaism was not only, a" belief in one God as ruler of the universe, but, quot ing the tablet on the, frnt of Gerrard hall, he said that the WnrdW on that tablet Were; a per- iect aeimmon oi juuaiom. xw do justly, to4 love mercy, and to walk humbly witlv thy God," declared the speaker "is an e cellent definition of J udaism.

Cafe and the Students' Supply Store, the two neighboring stores, suffered no damage and their business will not be disrupted.
