It is thought by a number of students that certain faculty members were throwing out a word of warning in regard to the conduct at the comiag Easter dances. As a result of this criticism, the feated Johns Hopkins by an unani- German Club Committee met last Monday night to investigate the situ ation. A report from the Grail Com mittee was demanded at this meeting and the conductat the danee was thoroughly investigated. After all the facts had been pre sented the German Club Committee found that the conduct at the Grail dance was not what it should have been and that the Grail should be Denalized to the extent of beinff placed on strict probation for the rest of the year.

Col onel Isaac M. Meekins, Republican candidate for governor, told an audi- nce of University students and townspeople in a speech in Memor ial Hall last night. It was the sec ond of the series of addresses to be delivered by gubernatorial candi dates. Colonel Meekins speech was a se vere indictment of the Democratic party in North Carolina which he described as "drunk on the wine of political endeavor." He charged the Democrats with either incompe tency or culpability in handling the finances of. the 6tate, asserting that the banking system is not supported by the confidence of the people. He cited numerous bank failures as proof of his statement, refrering par- and together with four students play ing poker in a room in the iuutxz Riiildinir. The Chief arrested the "bunch," holding Wiegand on both charges. Three of the students left school the next day, leaving the re maining two who gave fifty dollar bonds for their appearance at court. Wiegand employed R. O. Everett of Durham as counsel. Everett also went on his bond. When the Ohio man appeared with the extradition papers, Everett im mediately got in connection with the Governor to have the papers counter manded and give Wiegand a hearing. Koffits said he had no time for hear ings and while wrangling over the papers he slipped out and with the aid of Mack Williams almost carried Wiegand from the Chapel Hill Bank RiMinor and into a waiting Ford. I They hustled him down to Strowd Hill, where Featherstone was wait io. n one of Pendy's Studebakers and after changing Wiegand to that car, started for the Virginia line. Fverett became aware of his client s .trnne-A demise a few minutes later and with Mayor Roberson started to give chase.

Alrenrfv Trinity has defeated Wake For.est twice and has licked tho wolfpack once. Little Lenoir caught the Blue Devils off guard and succeeded in nosing out and Coach Howard Janes has decided that enough defeats for this year have been received by hi3 aspirants for the Southern Championship. The University team finds itself woefully lacking in material that cpn sock the ball squarely on the no.e. This weakness in hitting is the most difficult problem facing the coach and is one that will hardly be solved during the present seaon. Bill Dod derer was given a trial at first base in the game with theDurham Bulla and proved himself to be a classy infielder but unable to be counted up on to equal Shirley in his batting average. .Bonner is probably the nest outfielder in the state so far as fielding goes, but is also weak with the stick. In fact there isn't a heavy hitter on the crew. ;Morris, Carmichuel, McDonald, Gibson and Coffee are the heaviest but all will have trouble in keeping above the 300 mark. Cof fee is troubled with weak eyes and is severely handicapped In his fielding. Morris has an injured finger and was unable to hold his pegs dewn in the game last Wednesday. In case it fails to recover before Saturday it may again be necessary to start Bon ner off as catcher. Carmichael is also handicapped with a weak knee, whiih forced him from the game with Elon. In the game against the Bulls he was not on the field. However, he was strolling across the campus Thursday apparently in good health. Whether Morris and Carmichael will be able to play is uncertain and in case isonner is caueu i "" the bat, Jones and Coffee will prob ably be sent to the field.
