Addresses Large Gathering of Stu
dents, Faculty and Townspeople
in Gerrard Hall.
AUSPICES OF N. C. CLUB
Hon. J. W. Bailey, former internal
Revenue collector, addressed the stu
dents and citizens of Chapel Hill in
Gerrard Hall Monday evening on
"Farm Tenancy, Its Origin, Growth,'
and Remedies." Mr. Bailey's address
was given under the auspices of the
North Carolina Club and as a closing
program for the work of the club this
year.
The speaker showed the disgraceful
condition of farm tenancy in North
Carolina today, and the almost alarm
ing circumstances to whieh they had
grown. He stated that there was only
one remedy, and that was to help the
tenants to become owners of the land
which they worked.
"Farm tenancy in North Carolina
was born in April, 1865," stated Mr.
Bailey, ' ' when negroes were freed from
lawful bondage and placed under an
other almost as bad, that of farm ten
ancy. This evil has grown until today
there are six hundred thousand souls
in the grip of the system of farm ten
ancy of the "cropper type" in North
Carolina. This is considered a disgrace
to our civilization.
Three thousand of them move every
year and one-half of these are white
people. Men do not move for nothing,
they move because they have failed.
They have to do it, ;
North Carolina cannot expect to go
ahead fast until this condition is cured.
Poverty with hope can be endured, it
may even prove a help to advancement;
but poverty without hope is a disgrace
of the direst kind. When this condi
tion is remedied there will be no trou
ble Sn getting money for good reads,
education and every kind of public im
provements. m- ive are not going to be hopeless
about the solution of the problem," he
concluded. "We are not going to give
it up. We 'are not going to let the
present disgraceful condition continue.
This new state of ours, this new age,
is going to see to it that every man
who works hard shall have his chance."
During his address Mr. Bailey paid
high tribute to the University News
Letter, stating that among all his news
collections there was none which con
tained more real news than that little
paper.
Directly after the address, a smoker
was given to the guests, faculty, and!
club members at Dr. Bransons home.
The work of the Club this year which
has been centered on "Farm Tenancy"
in North Carolina has been very suc
cessful. Many interesting and valuable
reports on North Carolina have been
given at their meetings held every two
weeks.

ONE SOCIAL ROOM EACH
Sophomore Class Committee is Push
ing Project to Further Dormitory
Spirit by Closer Organization.
A committee from the sophomore class
met with Dean Bradshaw last Monday
and Tuesday to talk over plans for the
betterment of the social life on the
campus. This committee, whieh con
sists of J. A. Bradley, chairman, John
Purser, G. Y. Ragsdale and Earl Hart
sell, has set to work to see that every
dormitory has an opportunity to accept
or reject the University's offer of a
dormitory social room. This plan was
recently launched at the banquet of
the present sophomore class, and gives
promise of developing into a social
room for each dormitory, -which may be
used for study, smokers, a reception
room for visitors or any-thing that
may require such a room.
Today, tomorrow and Sunday a. peti
tion will be circulated on the campus
which will determine whether 'the plan
will become a reality next year. At
the head of the petition is the skeleton
of a constitution for a dormitory assoc
iation which reads somewhat like the
following:
Article 1. The name of the organi
zation shall be the Dormi
tory Association.
Article 2. The purpose of this or
ganization is to provide for the gov
ernment of this dormitory and to fur
nish the maximum of comfort and so
cial life to those living in the dormitory.
Article 3. All men rooming in this
dormitory are members of the Associa
tion. .
Article 4. The officers of the Asso
ciation shall be a president a treasurer
and a manager.
Article 5. All officers shall be elected
m the fall quarter and shall serve for
dint collegiate year, the method of elect
ion to be provided in the by-laws.
Article 6. Any amendment to the
constitution must be proposed by peti
tion signed by 10 of the men room
ing in ,the dormitory and posted one
week before uting upon it.
BY-LAWS:
1. The dormitory social room shall
closed after 10:00 p. m. except for
reading and study. The enforcement
of this rule is the duty of the manager.
2. Duties of the officers. It shall be
the duty of the president to call all
necessary meetings, to preside over the
same and to exercise those duties and
restrictions entrusted to him. It shall
be the duty of the treasurer to collect
and disburse all funds of the Associa
tion and to make an annual itemized I
report. It shall be the duty of the j
.lannger to exercise general supervision
over the use of the room and the pro
perty therein and to act in behalf or
the dormitory in all business relations
between it and the University or other
parties.
If this plan is put through the
University will give a room in each
dormitory which votes for a social j
room, which will be centrally located ,
and convenient to the whole dormitory.
A' tolphone could be placed in each so-;
cial room in accordance with the Bug- J

Wednesdny,
The Cabinet has proposed, in order to
promote the welfare of the Campus, to
establish campus activities upon a more
substantial basis, and to eliminate the
large number of campus campaigns, a
blanket fee to go into effect at regis
tration for the fall quarter, 1922. This
fee will be the total sum of amoun
for each activity proportionate to the
need of each. It is to be collected from
each student upon registration each
quarter as is the athletic fee. The plan
will be a co-operative endeavor to place
all campus activities in their proper
places. Each student will be entitled to
participate in these activities and to
receive without further charge all pub
lications, which will be greatly reduced
in cost because of their increased circulations.

The total sum will be turned over by

the presidents of the Student Body, the
Campus Cabinet, and the Senior Class,
and the Dean of the School of Com

chosen by the Board. One of the fac
ulty members will be a permanent
treasurer.
This Board of Administration will
supervise the delivery of funds to the
various activities, thus protecting the
money of the students, and will control
the management of the publications.

Mr. Long spoke on the natural re
sources of the state, their develop
ment, and the industrial progress of
North Carolina. In discussing the
material progress, he stated that in
1890, North Carolina was exclusive
ly an agricultural state, but since
that time has developed more along
industrial lines than any other state

monotonous Pickwick. Perhaps some of

manufacture of cotton goods; that
she has developed one-half million
horsepower from her waterfalls ; that
in the' tobacco industry she has the
largest cigarette factory in the
world, and also has the largest fur
niture factory in the United States.
Among the fundamental causes of
this progress, he believes that the
fact of North Carolina's being 99
per cent Anglo-Saxon, is sufficient
to explain her progress.
"We have no Bolshevism and I.
W. W.s", said Mr. Long, "and North
Carolina has no place for them,- and
because of their absence, our state
has felt vi 0 slightly the shock of
reaction after the great war."
The speaker attributed the expan

The program as a whole was excellent
in plan and execution, despite a few
arid stretches to be noted. Donizetti's
rousing chorus from Lucia, "Hail to
the Happy Bridal Day" was sung with
dash and finish, barring a bit of inac
curate intonation in.the finale. Next
came the Mandolin Quartet, followed
by Mr. Everett with two songs, both
lovely, yet a bit too subdued in Btyle
for his voice. "
Dudley Buck's "In Absence" was
the one inefective chorus number. Well
sung indeed, but not satisfying in tone
quality because of lack of richness
in the soaring bass parts.
Mr. Wiogand and Mrs. Hamilton
played Handel's Sonata in A, which was
too formal for the spirit of the program
and largely above the heads of the

morrow night.
The Carolina Professor went to Mich
igan at the call of the building com
mittee in charge of the erection of a
$400,000.00 theatre on the campus. He
has been asked repeatedly to give
advice on the building and this trip
was to do this, both in his lecture and
before a meeting of the committee. In
his lecture he used illustrations from
Carolina Folk-Plays, and other theatre
work in whieh he has been engaged.
The big theatre building has created
a great deal of iuterest throughout the
country, and perhaps will be the most
expensive and finest of its kind in
America. It will have two auditoriums

stopped over at Richmond for a night's
performance of the great Virginia his

covers the history of Virginia from
its beginning down through the Civil
War. Over 4,800 people are taking part
in it on a great stage in a 40-acre am

for two years and is under the direction
of Thomas Wood Stevens, of the school
of drama at the Carnige School of

himself very fortunate in being able
