,T0 CREATE A CAMPUC; ' ' ;' " " i -.. ' rn 01 7 ALITY" vo A JOUENAL OP the AcnrmES OF CAROLINIANS VOLUME XLm EDITORIAL PHONE 4JSI CHAPEL HILL, N. C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1935 ECSIXES3 PKOXE 4 1 55 NUMBER 164 1 J I j f 4 j,r ' ij to," . .a. ,;, ..ami ft' 0 6y the Editor "That's the d dest shine I've ever seen," said many an under SENIOR SPIRIT graduate yesterday as' seniors, an their jolly blue polo shirts, termed "senior regalia," wended -their Trays about the campus. Well, maybe they 'are shines". ;But why not? Most Carolina students are so rutted in tradi--tional smugness that when blue ;polo shirts are worn, to designate seniors from their less-graduated student mates, they start Jbeefing about "prep school stuff" and fun for the kiddies." Far be it from us to laud the :polo shirts as .sartorial wonders. Some of our seniors looked like 'wounded bluebirds in the rega lia. But the spirit behind class consciousness, whether mani fested in polo shirts or beer jack ets, is undeniably sincere and -creates a feeling of "senior brotherhood," in its own simple way, which is more often com pletely lost than otherwise. We erred in our reference to Davey Clark's misrepresen GRAVE ERROR tation concerning the NRA 7-a clause yesterday. . ; Mr. Clark did not insert a "'NOT" in the 7-a clause when le ran it in his Textile Bulletin. He was much less in the wrong; he merely inserted a convenient "NOT" in the Winant report on the 7-a machinery which was given to the President. Here's the way it ran: "The board does (NOT) feel that swift and efficient protection of the rights of labor in collective bargaining should be secured through new machinery." The insertion made a lot of difference to the readers, we imagine. Maybe Davey's fingers slipped. He ought to sit on them. When the work of the executive committee of the HONOR ATHLETES 3Ionogram Club was reported last night, it was obvious that a new note in student self-government has been reached. The Monogrammers have set up a system whereby they can maintain a high standard of sportsmanship in Carolina ath letics. Instead of leaving the duty of selecting men who will wear monograms to the coaches, the athletes have taken it upon themselves to set certain prin ciples which must be regarded before any monograms grace the breast of the athlete. This is student government of "the highest type. Initiative -comes from within, from a per sonal responsibility to see to it that athletes, like all others, ork and play with more in mind than vanity on the field. - This action should serve as a siodel for all undergraduate ac tivities. It is not so much the purpose of the committee which "we admire, because it is merely "the honor system interpreted to t athletics, but it is the spirit f responsibility in which the ty of maintaining the stand ards have been assumed.1 Men deserve monograms as much for their sportsmanship as or their brilliance. FLEECE VEL TAP TOMORROW NIGHT IN ANNUAL RITUAL Outstanding Campus Leaders Selected According to Char acter and Achievement. CLYDE HOEY IS SPEAKER One of the most important events" of Senior Week, the an nual Golden Fleece tapping, will be held Thursday night in Me morial hall, with Clyde Hoey, likely Democratic candidate for governor, making the address of the evening. - At the - tapping, - which will take place at 8:30 p. m., some 10 or 12 students will be se lected who are considered lead ers in the major campus activi ties. Character and achieve ment are regarded as prime re quisites for membership in the order. Clyde Hoey Clyde Hoey, the speaker,' one of the most successful lawyers in the state,' was editor and owner of the Cleveland Star at Shelby for 14 years, and has served as a member of the state legislature and as a representa tive to congress. It is regarded as significant that Lieutenant Governor A. H. Graham, who made the Golden Fleece address last year, is also regarded as a certain candidate for governor. The ritual of tapping is al ways very impressive, as with lowered lights, the members of the order move slowly up and down the isles, from time to time pouncing upon new men for selection. The honor society was established here in 1902 as the second oldest organization of its kind in the United States. Dr. Henry Horace Williams is re garded as the founder of the Fleece, which was fashioned af ter the Skull and Bones Society at Yale. Fleece Members Members of the Fleece now on the campus who were tapped last year are : Frank Abernethy, Jason of the order; (Agnew Bahnson of University Club and Foreign Policy fame; Bob Drane, editor of the Yackety Yack; Lonnie Dill, ex-editor of the Daily Tar Heel ; Joe Sugar man, ex-editor of the Carolina Magazine; Stuart Aitken, Alex Andrews, Ralph Gardner, and Simmons Patterson. Thor John son, director of the University of Michigan Little Symphony Orchestra which was received with such acclaim here last month, was also tapped last year. FRENCH PLAYERS TO GIVE THRILLER French Club to Present Annual Dramatic Venture Tomorrow. Blood Will spurt on the Play maker stage next . Thursday, May 16, when the French Club will take possession of the thea tre to reproduce a typical eve ning in a famous horror theatre, the Grand-Guignol of Paris. This year's production, now in rehearsal, is the second an nual theatrical venture of the French Club. "Une Soiree au Grand-Guignol," this year's play, written and directed by W. D. Creech, Jr., will be acted by an all-student cast including: Catherine Hodges, Olive Newell, Lillian Allen, Mary McKee, Scott Hun ter, Raymond Reeves, Warren Barrett, Cecil Ford, and Law rence Cheek. UNRULY ATHLETES TO LOSE LETTERS Monogram Club Will Punish Those Who Break Training. Heated discussions on athletes breaking training were featured in a meeting of . the Monogram Club last night in Graham Me morial. Pros and cons that were both heated and heavy followed a mo tion that athletes who break training be stripped of their monogram awards. The motion finally was carried, and judicial power was granted the execu tive committee. Charley Hubbard read the executive committee report in the absence of Charley Shaffer, chairman. Among the committee recom mendations, was one that be stowed service awards to ath letes not quite deserving of the monogram honor. This award would be in the form of a chain or key with the individual's name and sport inscribed on the back. Those awarded this serv ice medal would then be entitled to Monogram Club membership. New members which were ad mitted at last night's meeting are: J. R. Edwards, J. R. Lo thian Jule Medynski, Max No vich, Joe Fisher, B. J. Wrebster, Bucky Harris, Billy Harrison, Marion Diehl, Lammie Alder man, Allan Bonner, M. C. Ward, F. L. Bowen, H. W. Gwyn, Wil bur Gholson, Frank Umstead. PHI SMASHES BILL EXCLUDING CLARK Assembly Advocates Bill Favor ing Extension of Present Sterilization Laws. After unanimously defeating a bill providing that David Clark be prohibited from speaking at the University, the Phi Assem bly last night overwhelmingly passed a resolution inviting the Textile Bulletin editor to make a talk here. Francis Fairley and Drew Martin, opponents of the pro hibitory measure, based their arguments on the alleged -fact that to suppress such a speech would be contrary to the liberal tradition of the University. May Temper Clark While discussing the resolu tion to invite Clark to speak here it was pointed out that a visit to the University might acquaint Clark with actual conditions and perhaps temper his caustic criti cism. Stuart Rabb told the Assem bly that the American Liberty League, under whose auspices Clark has been invited, did not necessarily indorse all of the Charlottean's views. Rabb stated that Clark's Visit might do much toward proving to the state that the University is far from being "a hot-bed of radi calism." The Assembly advocated by a vote of 15-2 a bill favoring ex tension of the present steriliza tion laws to include aU persons socially unfit. ADVISORY ASSISTANTS The following-students were appointed- yesterday by Jack Pool to act as special assistants to the Student Advisory Com mittee, to aid in a study of cam pus organizations and systems: Sam Leager, Irving Suss, Milton Kalb, Carl Thompson, Don Wreth erbee, Jim Daniel, Morty Slavin, Jake Snyder, and Bob Page. DI SENATORS BOIL FOR EX - MEMBERS IN HEATED SESSION Attacks Center on Ericson as Senators Declaim Political Propaganda in Classes, , G.RAHAM FAVORS TAR HEEL The Di Senate put on a vio lent and heated show last night before a group of former mem bers which included Attorney General . A. A. F. Sea well and President Graham. Words flowed in a stream of unprecedented speed and elo quence, and feelings reached a new high as the Senate barely defeated the two most contro versial bills that have been dis cussed on the floor this year. Col. W. J. Andrews, president 44 years ago, who presided over part of last nighf s session, had the roll caUed on the resolution condemning the Daily Tar Heel for a policy of curtailing news about certain campus organiza tions and suggesting an investi gation into the matter. . Attack Ericson Centering their attacks on Dr. E. E. Ericson, Senators Mullen and Gibbes strongly declared themselves in favor of Senator Weaver's bill, "Resolved, that professors of this University hold to the subject they are paid to teach and refrain from spreading their political views in the classroom." No roll call of the close defeating vote was made, because Senator Eagles, who voted with the supporters, hastily moved an adjournment. Senators Weaver, Gibbes, Wil liams, and their constitutents did win one point last night in their defeat of Senator McKee's pro posal that the Senate discuss and vote on his bill, "Resolved, that the Di Senate go on record as favoring the Daily Tar Heel and the policy of Editor Ham mer." The meeting opened with the presentation by Col. Andrews of the original constitution of the Di Society to President Rawls. Vanished Glories Mr. SeaweU and Mr. Kenneth Gant, another former member, also spoke, recalling the vanish ed glories of the Di and utter ing the hope that it might again reach its former position of prominence. Asked by Senator McKee . to state his opinion on the new policies of the Daily Tar Heel, President Graham said that the administration "is deeply inter ested in and grateful to the Daily Tar Heel for its investi gation of many important prob lems," and that he considered its editorial suggestions very good. "We need to improve dormi tory life," he continued, "but the students themselves can do much toward remedying some of the bad features." He is in favor of social rooms in each dormitory. COKER TO DIRECT SCHOOL The Alleghany School of Nat ural History in Alleghany Na tional Park, N. Y., opens for its seven-week term on July 5, ac cording to Dr. R. E. Coker, di rector. This school offers courses in botany, zoology, geology, and nature study, combined with a vacation in the state park. Dr. Coker says -that the school at tracts teachers, scout and camp leaders, and naturalists for the annual courses. - - . High Learning Stands Or Falls As Campus Brains Clash Tonight McKee Appointed to Advisory Committee Don McKee, University sopho more, was appointed yesterday afternoon to take the place of Phil Hammer on the Student Advisory Committee. Jack Pool, student body head, made the appointment following Ham mer's resignation Monday after noon. Hammer will continue as ex- officio member of the committee, Pool acquiescing in the com mittee's recommendation that editors of the Daily Tar ttftt, be given such positions. McKee is well known for his work as manager of the Daily Tar Heel news release to high and preparatory schools and has been prominent in other activi ties for two years. He will be gin his work on the committee this afternoon.

Co-eds Discuss Radio Situation in Spencer The recent radio situation in Spencer hall became the subject of a round-table discussion at a meeting of the co-eds Monday night. The co-eds were inform ed that the radio petition was re moved by Mrs. Lee in order that it might be sent to Mrs. Stacy for consideration. The group voted to send a rep resentative from the dormitory to the meeting that has been call ed by Dr. Graham and Mrs. Stacy to discuss the affair. Miss Bobbie Moore took over her duties as house president of the dormitory at the meeting, at which plans for a tea dance were also considered.

Spiller of Swarthmore; Sanford Salyer of the University of Oklahoma, and Garland Gruver of the Univer sity of Southern California. Wave of Investigating Embraces Universities Ivey and Lansdale Will Contend That Universities Debauch; Gaskins, Durfee, "No!" CO-EDS WILL BE REFEREES At last standing toe to toe with the most momentous question of American education, four campus intellectual leaders will debate the value of higher learn ing at 8:30 tonight in Gerrard hall. Dedicated to the proposition that a University education leads to physical, mental and moral delinquency are Puckish Pete Ivey and Nelson Lansdale, scion of one of the better families of Maryland. Opposition Convinced by ponderous re search in historical jurispru dence and sundry other pursuits that college education should not be investigated, Right-Winger Winthrop Durfee- and Retreating-Editor Pat Gaskins of the Finjan are expected to at tempt to divert the discussion into other channels. "We shall attempt to prove that a University education is a colossal failure, a physical cala mity, a mental frivolity, and a moral holocaust," declaimed Al fred Guy "Pete" Ivey to the press yesterday. "Sans mens in sans corpore, phooey. Non com pos mentis, et cetera usufruct, in toto, vice versa, nux vomica, EJ pluribus." Cohort Lansdale, rumored to have drafted a roomful of cam pus intelligentsia to write his speech, amen-ed the above senti ments : "When I take the stump tonight, the University will be out on a limb and the opposition will be hacked. This will be a debate to end debates." American Durfee Ruffled by the back-handed gibes of the Daily Tar Heel's anonymous columnist Spartacu3, Durfee asserted his position in the approaching fray: "I am for 100 per cent Americanism, the American Liberty League, the debate society and anything else that is safe and unrevolution- - ary. Gaskins seized upon the vital issues of the controversy with: "When I get through telling those fellows a thing or three, they won't know their debates from a hole in the ground.
