Jan. 8, 1924 No. 24 mux DELEGATES GO TO CONVENTION 7,400 Delegates From 1,000 Colleges Hear Noted Speakers' The University was represented by ten students at what was probably the largest student convention ever held in the history of Christianity, the ninth quadrennial international convention of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions at Indianapolis during the Christmas "holidays. Thee were 7,400 delegates from about 1,000 colleges and schools in the United States and Canada and from practically every race and coun- "try in the world. The application of "the Jesus way of life" to every vocation and every .phase of life, seemed to be the key note of the great convention. We must clean up and wake up at home, if America is to have enough Chris tianity to warrant exportation. Dyna--inic demands were made that the .principles of Christt, surcharged with the vigor of youth, be proclaimed in missionary efforts to bring about a "world brotherhood, and that all class -and race hatred give way to Jesus' -law of love. The two questions before the con vention that created the greatest in terest and discussion were those of race and war. "Unless America can solve her own race problem," declared speakers from several lands, "the American foreign missionary enterprise must fail. The people of Asia will be un able to believe in the sincerity of American Christianity if American Christians contintue in their present race prejudices and hatreds." One of the most brilliant addresses of the convention was made by Pro fessor J. E. K. Aggrey, son of the "prime minister" of an African chief- tan, a graduate and teacher of Liv ingston College, Salisbury, N. C, who just recently passed with honor his Ph. D examination at Columbia Uni versity. He presented the needs of Africa, declaring that it was ready and waiting for Christianity, and urg ing that his negro race be allowed to make its contribution to the life of (Continued on Page 3) INAUGRAL TO PHI New Officers Are Installed at First Meeting of Phi Assembly Charles E. Spencer, recently elect ed speaker of the Philanthropic As sembly, urged members of the As sembly to be "transformers from our Kreat heritage to future students" and impressed upon the House a two fold duty: that of esponsibiIity to the Assembly and that of responsibility to the Assembly and that of respon sibility to oneself, in his inaugural address, delivered Saturday night. The real aim of the work of the Assembly is higher a great deal "higher than hte society itself," the new speaker stated. "It is this high aim proficiency in the art of speach that keeps the Assembly alive and -fid all similiar societies, he declared, prospering; without this ideal the Phi "would not survive for any great time." He asked all members to co operate in making the winter quar ter of this year the best period in the history of the organization which he has been elected to lead for the next three months. Installation of the new officers for the winter quarter, the discussion of one resolution, hte tabling of a long standing bill, and the inition fo two new members constituted the remain der of the Phi program. Officers serv ing for the first time were: speaker, C. E. Spencer; speaker,pro-tem, J. M. Saunders; sergeant-at-arms, P. C. Gibson; reading clerk, R. L. Smith. Two initiates, F. N. Mullen, Jr., and George Epstein were taken into mem bership. Upon motion by George Hampton, fromre speaker, the long-awaited bill favoring President Coolidge's plans for tax reduction fas indefinitely tabled. Considerable discussion over the present unsettled situation in Mexico furnished the "hot air for the evening, the Assembly finally going on record as disapproving the action of the United States in ship ping arms into the borders of its sis ter Republic. STATE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES TO SPEAK HERE Come On Invitation of the New Law School Association JUSTICE CLARK FIRST A new organization, known as the Law School Association, has appear ed in the Law School of hte Univer sity. This association which was or ganized shortly before Christmas by Mr. Albert Coates of the Law Fac ulty has for its purpose the promo tion of the interests of the Law School. Every student of the Law Clubs is automatically a member of the Association, and the presidents of the Law Clubs are the directors of the Association. The Board of Directors of the Law . School Association ' is composed of the following men who are the presidents of their respective Law Clubs: S. M. Cathey of the McCray Law Club; C. E. Cowan of the Iredell Law Club; A. J. Eley of the Ruffin Law Club; G. V. Hill of the Gaston Law Club; C. C. Poindexter of the Pear son Law Club; A. L. Purrington of the McGehee Law Club; and S. M. Whedbee of the Manning Law Cub. The Board of Advisors is made up of the following: A. C. Mcintosh, P. H. Winston, R. H. Wettach, and F. B. McCall of the Law School Faculty, and H. W. Chase and C. T. Woollen of the University Administration. The first step that has been taken to carry out the purpose of the Law School Association is the invitation recently extended to the Justices of the Supreme Court of North Caro lina to speak to the Law School dur ing the Spring Term. Three of the Justices have accepted the invitation, and the other two have expressed the desire to accept if circumstance's will permit. Chief Justice Walter Clark will ini tiate the program on Friday coring, January 25. The other Justices will follow - at intervals of about one- month. This is only the beginning of a program that will bring the Law School into active touch with tee leg al profession in North Carolina. It is planned next year to invite n number of Judges of the Superior vJc urt bench speak to th Law School and the following year a num btr of the leading members of the I nr. Qi r er activities for the Law S'v-i ji A;;;- c iation are under way and will be .-.nnounced later. NO MONEY; NO PICTURE IN Y Y Annual Managers Say No Pic ture Will Be Run Unless Bills Are Paid All group and individual pictures for the Yackety Yack must be made on Monday, January 14th and the fol lowing three days. The editorial board is very anxious to have all the groupps made at the very beginning of the period in order to finally de cide on the number of pages in the book. Every student in school will re ceive a Yackety Yack at the end of the Spring term and every student eligible for representation is urged to have his or her picture taken enith er for the individuals or for the groups. The freshman class officers are very anxious for a large picture of the class, it being the largest freshman class in the south. Unless the individual pictures for the fraternity and class sections are taken on this clean-up trip they will not appear in the book. This an nouncement was made yesterday by R. S. Pickens, editor. The forms will be closed on February 15th, when all bills must be paid and after that date, no roders for space or for rep resentation will be received. This is made necessary by the recent ruling of the Publications Board, which states emphatically that no organiza tion can be represented which hasn't paid its bill by February 15th. A co-ed at the University of Kan sas has started a date-making agen cy as an aid to paying her expenses through college. For 25 cents she will arrange a date for any girl, sat isfaction guaranteed or money refunded. PUBLICATIONS UNION Statement Shows That the Plan Adopted Last Year By the Stu dent Body Has Proved a Success On the Financial End at Least The Board cf the Publications Union, with the end fo the first quarter of its existence, has drawn up a financial statement showing every detail of its administration of the student fee and published it elsewhere in this issue of the Tar Heel. "Every student on the campus is a member of the Union," says Presi dent Kitchin, "and we feel that such a report as this is his right and should be of interest to him.. We hope he will study it carefullly and give the Board the benefit of his criticisms and suggestions in writing." In turning over the reports to the Tar Heel for publication, Mr. Hib bard, the secretary, called attention to two or three outstanding feature of the statement as follows: i ' " " "While the report, as published, would indicate that all three of the publications are on a sound financial basis, it must be remembered that the net profits' as indicated are deceptive in one regard. The Board has felt it only right to pay the business managers in proportion to their efforts and success; in general they are paid a percentage based on profits Avhich they return. The balance given for each publication, in the published report, in cludes this salary item as profit, though eventually some of that must be turned over to the .managers as salary." "Every student, too, should realize that in actual return for his fee of $5.50 he is receiving something like $11.00 worth of work. The campu pays in during the year only $10,600 as fees, but the actual expense of running the three publications will be somewhat over $22,000." "In making this report; the Board wishes to announce its policy in the matter of salaries for student managers. In the past years wild rumors have had it that managers have made as high as five thousand dollars as a result fo their year's work. This, the Board has reason to know, is merely speculative gossip. The general policy of the Union Board has been to take away the stigma of "graft" which has sometimes gone with these positions and place them more nearly on the student "honor" basis. With this in mind it has guaranteed the following salaries: Tar Heel Business Manager, ?3C0 a year plu3 20 per cent commission on all profits; Carolina Magazine Manager, $150 a year plus a 35 per cent commission on all profits; the Yackety Yack Managei's and Editor $150 a year -and 50 per cent on all profits. "With its regular meetings and the powers granted it by the constitu tion, the Board in this way can keep a close record of the business status of the publications from month to month, and, should the need occur, at any time remove an inefficient manager. The students' fees are protected and at the same time the managers are secured of a definite return for honest effort expended. This matter of salaries the Board went into very care fully, taking into consideration numerous items which cannot appear to the superficial observer. It feels, however, that the matter should be considered as an experiment and that in the light of the year's experience changes may well be made another year.

First Aid At a Southern Junior college for girls, a student passing along the hall noticed a chaperon apparently listening through the keyhole, and notifed tihe girls of htat room. Soon after a stcpladder was placed outside the door and a placard which read, "Keyhole out of order, please use transom." Ex. Fine Passing, Shooting and Guarding PLAYED ON NEW COURT Christened the New Physical Education Building With First Game of Season Playing a passing and nhuoting game that baffled her opponent, Cur-' olina defeated Mercer, Tuesday night, in the new Indoor Athletic Field, 34 23. Two thousand spectators, well wrapped in overcoats, shivered away in the spacious and airy and 3uw the "Tin Can" christened with a victory. The Mercer team showed the ef fects of its long road trip anil dur ing most of the game played on the defensive, serving to slow the game up considerably. Pope scored the first goal shortly after the initial tip off, but the score was quickly tied by the good foul shooting of Jack Cobb. The machine-like precision that bus characterized Carolina teams for the past several seasons was no'; appar ent tonight. Even at that, there was Lut little attempt at individualism, and the loose cogs were evidently due to the early season form. Cobb, at forward, and McDo'i.dd at fe'.iard distinguished themselves. Cobb lead in goal shooting and ?.l "Donald guarded spectacularly and dropped in occasional shots on his own hook. Carmichael, although co'-cret? lhrnic.h out the game, and Bill Dodderer showed up well. First Half . Simmons got tip-off and after free-for-all passing, Pope cages tins ball. Mercer fouled and Cobb made ' his two chances good. Cobb shoots first fied goal for Carolina. Cobb follows with another goal. Dodderer overshoots basket and " Cui'mklincrl puts the ball in. Smith takes thu ball from tip-off for goal. II; trie the same stunt again and mi-M.- s. Caro lina fouled and Harmon makt-4 bofh shots good. Cobb rings pretty ori'j from under the basket. McDonald finds forwards covered ami shoots (Continued on Page 3) NEW BUREAU OF VOCATION BUSY Beware in Charge of T. A. Whitever Office In Alumni Building The University has begun this year the development of a Bureau of Voca tional Informattion, which will have as its purpose the furnishing of in formation to intterested students about the various vocations open to college men in roder that they may make wise decisions. The first step has been taken in this matter with the organization of a library of vo cational information. Approximately 200volumes have been assembled, ar ranged alphabetically by vocations. The vocations covered run from ac counting through writing and include about 70 different professions and oc cupations in which the students; of the University are interested, as shown by their statements at matri culation, and by vocational lists pre pared at other institutions. This helf has been made up after a cor respondence with 36 publishing houses and more than 100 colleges and uni versities on the basis of vocational bibliographies obtained in thi3 way. It is, then, probably the most com plete shelf of this kind to be found in the country. This . shelf, appro-, priately labelled, will be placed in the lobby of the library on the light to the entrance of the reading room. Students interested in obtaining ad ditional information about the vaii o covations may look over these volumes and may borrow one O'" mo''e for u week. The Bureau of Vocational Infor mation, in charge of T. A. Whitener, is in the office of the Dean of Stu dents, Alumni 114. Mr. Whitencr is now engaged in gathering additional information to supplement that con tained on hte book shelf. Those in terested in discussing the matter of '. cattional choice and seeking fur ther information, may see Mr. White ner between 10:30 and 12:30.
