Style, Carried Elsewhere
Since April 1 fell on Monday this
year, the Daily Tar Heel was unable
to provide its readers with its- annual
April Fool issue. However, the Char
lotte News took care . of University
publicity in its April Fool section.
One story was concerned with the
announcement that Davidson had re
ceived a bid to the Rose Bowl. Stories
from Carolina and Duke reported:
Chapel Hill Davidson's acceptance
of the Rose Bowl bid met only with
disdain from President Frank Graham
of the University of North Carolina.
"Nuts!" he sneered. "That's mioor

Sponsor Forensics
In High Schools
The Di senate is going to enter ac
tive sponsorship of high school debates
which shall take place adjacent to the
university, according to a bill which
was passed at the meeting of Di last
night.
The interest of the senators in that
field was shown by the speedy fash
ion in which the bill was carried. The
plan as outlined in the measure is to
have the active members of the senate
' m m A a
cooperate with the supervisor of North
Carolina high school activities in the
field of debating, these senators to
act in the capacities to which this sup
erintendent may assign them, such as
president, timekeeper or marshall.
In this way it is hoped that the sen
ators will gain experience in the hand
ling of active debating, and encourage
high school debating.
The Di also plans to provide two
medals annually which are to be pre
sented to the winning team in the
name of the senate. The debates in
charge of the Di members will be pub
lished with the view to building up
outside interest in this field of debat
ing and the senate's activities as a de
bating society.
An announcement was made at the
meeting by Arthur Link, chairman of
the radio committee of the Di, to the
effect that the senate will participate
in a radio program over the Univer
sity hour on April ,15. A meeting is

program as soon as scripts can be pre
pared for distribution to members.
Mention was made to the senate by
the president, John Bonner, that plans
are under way again to have a Di-Phi
dance. This dance was planned for
last quarter but fell through. The
decision of the dance committee will be
announced next week.
A bill was passed by the senate pro
