DR. H. K. RUSSELL
GIVES DISCUSSION
OF MODERN POETS
Member of English Department Talks
At Regular Weekly Gathering in
Bull's Head Bookshop.
Dr. Harry K. Russell yester
day afternoon gave a reading
and discussion on "Some Mod
ern Poets" in the Bull's Head
bookshop tov an audience of
townspeople and students.
Dr. Russell, at the beginning
of his discussion, stated that
poetry is based on , principles
that may differ with different
individuals. He stated that there
are three views to take in read
ing poetry: the form, diction,
and vitality.
Rhythm Important
Dr. Russell believes that the
form in , poetry is sometimes
wrongly emphasized, but that
rhythm is more important than
is generally realized. r He gave
a short treatise on blank verse,
reading various poems to illus
trate his point.
The speaker also gave a dis
cussion of the use of diction and
vitality in modern poetry. The
usual types of diction used in
poetry are the simple, childish
form and the heavier masculine
type. Both have their uses, he
said. To illustrate, Dr. Russell
read from several poems .that
brought out his point much bet
ter than the mere listing. -.'..:
WETTACH SPEAKS
ON NRALEGALITY
Constitutional Questions of Re
covery Program Discussed in
Seventh NRA Lecture.
"In the final analysis the con
stitutionality of the NRA will
depend not only on the previous
decisions of the court but on the
conditions existing when the
case is decided and also the in
dividual viewpoints and opin
ions of the judges," stated Pro
fessor R. H. Wettach last night
in the seventh lecture on the
NRA.
Professor Wettach, a member
of the law school faculty, spoke
on the subject "The Legal and
Constitutional Questions in
volved in the National Recovery
Program." These lectures ; are
sponsored by the school of com
merce, the sociology department,
and the law school.
"The NRA program will be
to maintain" the position that
unemployment, poor pay, and
chaotic conditions in local trade
are creating havoc in interstate
commerce, that industrial well
being in the latter cannot be re
stored without regulation of the
former, and that therefore Con
gress did have the power to pro
vide for such' regulation," he
said.
Professor Wettach stated that
he believed that the NRA was
constitutional. He stated that
there are violent opinions on
both, sides of the question. An
other argument that he men
tioned was that of self-preservation,
"that unless something is
done the country passes out of
the picture." )
Auxiliary Sells-Cards
The Women's Auxiliary of the
American Legion is selling
Christmas cards in order to ob

war veterans of Orange county.
Because of Failure to Pay Mind
To Five Days' Notice Law,
Attorneys Get Messed Up.
Certain alleged lawyers have
had withdrawn the summons
and complaint for libel which
they had served on the Daily
Tab Heel several days ago with
out giving that publication five
days' notice, as is required by
the North Carolina law, it was
learned yesterday.
At the same time that they
gave notice that the first action
was dropped, they also had
served another notice stating
that "after theexpiration of five
days," a cause of "action or ac
tions, civil or criminal, or both,
will be commenced."
More Thorough
In the natice of action, they
were more thorough than form
erly, going so, far as-to ask "any
or all others on the editorial
staff (which, incidentally, num
bers something like 58)" to take
notice.
From this it is understood'
that they have not abandoned
their intention to hale the Daily
Tar Heel into court and there
to extract their "pound of flesh,"
but have decided to go about the
thing in a more orderly manner
one which will be in accord
ance with the statue just
brought to their attention.

NUMBER 64
P. U. BOARD CUTS
TAR HEEL RATES
. FOR PROFESSORS
Subscriptions to Paper Will Be
Offered to Faculty Members
At $1.50 for a Year.
MORE READERS DESIRED
At a meeting of the Publica
tions Union board yesterday it
was decided to offer subscrip
tions to the Daily Tae Heel to
members on the teaching staff
of the University for $1.50 for
the year.
This action came as the re
sult of a suggestion on the part
of Claiborn Carr, editor of the
publication, to give professors
free , subscriptions. The . cost
for the remaining two quarters
of the year will be $1.00.
The motive which prompted
Carr's suggestion and , the
board's action is the necessity
for greater knowledge and un
derstanding on the part of the
faculty of student thought and
opinion on matters of import
ance to faculty and students
alike. Such a problem is that
offered by the proposed curricu
lum changes.
Editorial on Subject
In an editorial in the Daily
Tar Heel yesterday it was
pointed out that only ten mem
bers of the faculty subscribe to
the publication, the chief source
of an expression of much stu
dent opinion. ;
Under tKe new rate it is hoped
that all ' members of the faculty
will take advantage ' of the op
portunity thus offered them. Al
though the present board has
no control over the policy of fu
ture boards it will recommend
that the reduced rate be con
tinued in later years.
