THE TAR HEEL. APRIL 30, 1922 UNIVERSITY MEN ATTEND Dean Howe, Prof. Snell, and Dean Bradshaw Representative of this Institution T TO BE ANNOUNCED LATER Present Officer Preparing to Turn Over Work New Men to Fill Job Next Year Dr. Geo. Howe, Prof. C. D. Snell, Dean Francis Bradshaw returned on Monday from Lexington, Ky., where they attended the respective confer ences, the National Association of the Deans of Liberal Arts and Science and the National University Exten sion Association, and the National conference of Deans and Advisers of Men of State Institutions, at Lexing ton, Ky., on April 20-22. Delegates were sent mostly from the southern and middle western states. There was also a conference on student gov ernment at this place but Carolina did not have a representative. The general purpose of these con ferences was to have papers pre sented on various problems connec ted with these phases" o? college work and to have an exchange of exper-1 iences and ideas among the different delegates. In the three days of the conference the extension division held six ses sions at which different topics re lated to extension work were dis cussed. Thirty six universities had a delegation at this conference. The most prominent address was delivered by J. J. Tigert, U. S. commissioner of education. Fifteen universities were represen ted at the conference of deans of students. The three important topics discussed were the matter of con trolling the social and moral life of the student, the building up of a system of rendering assistance to the freshmen, the eradication of the mo lesting Thet a Nu Epsilon fraternity from all colleges. As to rendering more heln- to the freshmen," the conference reached the conclusion that the best way of doJ ing this was by having them taught in small classes by mature, efficient instructors especially interested in freshman teaching. There was a unanimous decision reached that the dean of student should be free of student government since he could then be a more effective director when he did not have to punish the students. A formal declaration of war was made by all the delegates against the Theta Nu Epsilon fraternity, a . notorious Sophomore organization, which at one time promoted social culture but degenerated into foster ing riotous living, drinking, and pro fessional loafing. . ' - Student government can not be conceived by any of the delegates. Tulane and Alabama were the only universities having student autonomy and their systems are far different from that atthia uni FILanpue from that at this university. Most of the men seemed to think that there were peculiar conditions here that made it possible. Their argu ments against this system were that the change of the personnel of the student council each year did not give the men enough experience to make the proper decisions and the stu dents lacked in initiative. The new officers elected for these organizations were Prof. Maphis, of the University of Virginia, president of the extension division and Dean Stanley Coulter, Purdue university, president of dean of students. CITY UNION TD HAVE A PICNIC IN NEAR FUTURE Executive Council Finally Decides Upon Date for Long Expected and Promised Social The executive council of the city union of the various young peoples unions of the churches decided at a recent meeting that the long post oned social of the organization should be held in the form of a pic nic on Saturday afternoon. May 20, at some nearby spot to be chosen later. It will be one of the delight ful out-of-door affairs of the spring quarter, as there are more than three hundred members of the union, many of whom will attend. The committee in charge of arrangements consists of James Bradley, John Purser and Miss Alma Holland, the officers of the union, together with other rep resentatives of the various societies. Other business of the committee was to adopt a permanent constitu tion for the union which has been in the process of making for some time. With many additions and omissions the document was adopted and will be presented to the various societies at their next meeting., The Baptist church was, chosen as the place; of the next union meeting. The date ' for this meeting is to be named at the next meeting of the council. In an article of the last issue of The Tar Heel, a report of eight ac hievements of the Y. M. C. A. dur ing the. present year was published with a heading which led to the im pression that the entire report was being carried. However, this was not due to faulty work of any mem ber of the Tar Heel staff, but to the fact that the remaining part of the report, which constitutes two thirds of the entire statement, was omitted in the body of the article. This remaining two thirds of the Y's statement will be presented to the student body at the time of the installation of the newly electd of ficers of the Y. M. C. A. At that time it is expected that President Williams will tender his office to the newly elected President Poindexter, with a statement of the policies and work of the Y during the present year, while Mr. Poindexter will pre sent the plans of the Y officers and cabinet for the coming year. The installation of these officers. has .been planned for a date in the near future, and now the present; board of officers of the Y are plan ning to evacuate their posts and de liver the institution with its cares and pleasures into the hands of the new board. The election of treasurer for the Y. M. C. A. board of next year will be made on Saturday by the present cabinet. G. H. Leonard, H. D. Duls, and probably Watts Hill, have been nominated for this position. Idea to Have Candidates Speak Suggested in Chapel The University Band rendered a ' very interesting program in chapel l Wednesday morning, composed of 'the following selections: "Our Fight ' ing Men," "The Moaning Saxo phone," "The Show Boy" and "The 'National Emblem." This program was preceded by an announcement . by Garland Porter, president of the student body, con cerning the open politics. There has been suggested a plan whereby all nominees for President of the Stu dent Body would be asked to make short talks in chapel, about two or three days after their nomination, stating their conception of the of fice and of the Honor System. . Such talks would give the lower classmen and the men of the profes sional schools a chance to learn a little about those nominated for the important office on the campus and how they feel towards the problems of campus life. This matter will be brought before the student body dar ing the mass meeting next Monday.
