New Campus and Class Officers
Take Up Duties at Inaugural
Ceremony Yesterday.
BARNES MAKES ADDRESS
As long as the student body
recognizes intelligence as a fac
tor to be considered in selecting
campus officers, student govern-
ment is safe," stated President
Frank Porter Graham yester
day in freshman assembly after
the formal induction of campus
leaders for the coming year into
office.
Student activities should not
surplant or supplement the
classroom, but should reinforce
it in the main purpose of col
lege life," stated Dr. Graham.
Pointing out student leaders
during the past years who were
Phi Beta Kappa members and
that the newly elected editors
of two of the campus publica
tions had made the second and
third highest standing in schol
arship in their class, President
Graham spoke of the relation
of good scholarship on leader
ship.
University officials feel that
student activities are vital, live,
vivid with student personalities,
and present great opportunity
for development," said Graham,
"but we, feel that activities '
should not push the classroom
aside."
