. U.P. Wire Service
In Daily Tar Heel
In a step to "give the student's
money back to the students," the
Publications union board yesterday
voted to loan out $1,000 to the Stu
dent Loan Fund. The funds are to
be used at the discretion of the Loan
Fund office, and will be renewed at
two year intervals upon payment of
the six per cent interest. The fund is
to be called the Publications Union
Loan fund.
President Ed Rankin stated that the
gross earnings of the fund will be
turned over tr the Publications board
or may be added to the total fund.
The University will not guarantee the
security of the fund nor guarantee
any specific rate of earning. Ran
kin added that the administration,
however, will administer the fund with
reasonable care and will give loans
to preferred risks. The funds are to
be lent to those students who are ap
proved by their deans and have made
arrangements with the Student Loan
fund.
The board also approved of the
use of the United Press News Briefs,
which will be continued through the
present Rosenberg and Harmon ad
ministration. The new board will take
up the allocation of funds for pro
viding the news summaries next year.
The total cost of maintaining the UP
reports for the remaining 11 weeks
will amount to $90.

dent legislature are for the purpose of
facilitating and speeding up the proc
ess of voting in campus elections.
Elections will still remain under the

dents of Grimes, Ruffm, Manly, Man
gum, Lewis, Aycock, Graham, Everett,

not present a confirmation of registra

will not be allowed to register if his

To Fight It Out With Snow
For Possession Of Old Well
Soph President Alexander Is
sues Challenge; Fight To Be
Held At Well Today At 10:30
President Bill Alexander pf the
Sophomore class emerged from a snow
drift long enough yesterday after
noon to challenge "the lowly fresh
men" to a battle for the Old Well this
morning at 10:30. The prexy of the
second year men said that the sopho
mores would storm the historic cam
pus site with greater fury than the
"Minute-Men" smashed up Bunker
Hill.
The sophomores will gather at Old
West, while the ffosh will begin their
charge from Old East. Snowballs will
be used as artillery. Military ob
servers predict that yesterday's ac
tivities in the yicinity of the YMCA
will look like sham skirmishes when
compared to this morning's major
offenses.

GORDON QUARTET
TO GIVE CONCERT'
HERE TOMORROW
Chamber Music
Program To Begin
At 8:30 In Hill
Known as one of the best chamber
music quartets before the public to
day, the Gordon String quartet will
be presented in a concert at Hill Music
hall tomorrow night at 8:30.
During the summer, the members of
the organization reside at Music Moun
tain in Falls Village, Connecticut,
where they give weekly concerts that
draw audiences from the summer
colonies of the South Shore and New
York. In 1921, they began making
tours over the United States, and be
sides personal appearances, they have
done much by means of the radio and
recordings to familiarize the Ameri
can music lover with music for the
string quartet.
PROGRAM
The program for tomorrow night in
cludes two famous quartets, the Quar
tet in F Major,' K 590, of Mozart and
the Quartet in C Major, Opus 59, No.

one of the three quartets written by
Beethoven for Count Rasoumofsky.
Also played on the program will be
from "Goyeacas," arranged by David
Sackson, the second violinist of the
quartet, and "Rondo Favori" by Hum-mel-Lenhoff.
After the enthusiastic reception of
the Coolidge String quartet here last
year and because of the growing in
terest in chamber music, the- Music de
partment expects the Gordon String
quartet to be well received also. Tick
ets are on sale for 75 cents at Hill
Music hall. Students will be admitted
for 50 cents.
CITIZENS ASKED
TO OBSERVE LAW
Book Ex, Cafeteria
Must Enforce Ruling
Private citizens whom the Univer
sity is prohibited bys law from serving
are asked' by the administration not
to request service from the Book Ex
change and the University Dining hall.
This action was brought about by
the fact that several people have ex
pressed resentment because they were
refused service.
These steps which the administra
tion has taken to comply with the law
were pointed out: it has stopped the
selling of prohibited articles, posted
signs advising the public of the law
and asking cooperation, advertised in
the Chapel Hill Weekly and the Daily
Tar Heel asking cooperation, respect

Fred Edney, Winifred ftorman, Mar
tin Harmon, Bert Premo and Ed Ran

Representatives
To Elect Campaign
Officials, Treasurer
By CHARLES BARRETT
Over 100 delegates and interested
students will convene tonight at 9
o'clock in the Student party's first
general assembly of the year to con
duct business normally little publi
cized, but which will exert a strong
influence in determining what party
and what man will hold key positions
on the campus next year.
The convention in Phi hall will se
lect a general Student party campaign
manager, campaign managers for each
of the individual classes, a party treas
urer and party publicity chairman.
Average students in the past have
scarcely known the identity of stu
dents holding these positions. Yet the
general campaign chairman, close in
importance to the party chairman
himself, is in almost complete charge
of organizing and conducting cam
paigns for all general campus officers,
and also supervises the work of cam
paign managers in individual classes.
MARGIN OF DIFFERENCE
The judgement and efficiency of
this general campaign manager and
his subordinates in each class often
form the margin of difference by
which one candidate is elected and his
opponent defeated.
The party treasurer supervises the
raising of expenditures of all party
funds, and the publicity chairman is
in charge of all campaign posters and
handbills two other major determi
nants in the Buceess of the party and
