Di Society Votes To Let Japs Come At a meeting of the Di Society Saturday night May, 17th, one of the most interesting programs of the year was carried out. The question as to whether or not the Di Society should go on record as favoring the Japanese exclusion clause in the pres et immigration bill brought up much discussion. Both sides were ably de fended with oratory that would lead one back to the days of Demonsthes Some of the arguments produced on the affirmative were that it is a gentlemans agreement and should continue to be so, that if the number of Japanese coming into this country "was not limited, they would increase so rapidly that this would soon be a nation within a nation. Negative ar guments were that it is not democrat ic, that it will probably lead to a war "between Japan and the United States. The Negative side won the decision by a small majority. Those speaking on the Affirmative "were Messrs. W. C. Johnson, Julian Busby, and Tom Turner. While those speaking on the Negative were Spen cer Murphey, Taylor Bledsoe, and A. F. Raper.

P . ca REYNOLDS WILL STUMP CAMPUS Political Aspirant and Globe Trotter to Relate Expert ences Wednesday Night ' (By Tom Rowland) AH Hail! Robert Reynolds, world traveler and explorer, old University graduate and half back, author and orator of note, and candidate for the Democratic Nomination for Lieuten ant Governor in the June primary will speak to University students Wed nesday night in Memorial Hall at 8:30. Bob, as he has always been known to the University, is quite a character. Magellan first circumnavigated the globe in his little ship but Bob went him one better. Bob did it in his little Ford. Through Europe, Asia, and darkest Africa went- Bob, un daunted by the hardships that must accompany -such a journey.' Every day held its new thrill and experi ence. From the Scandinavian Penn insula to the Italian Shoe, Bob found a world of new knowledge, and studied economic problems from the grim reality where not so long ago the air was filled with shrapnel and poison ous gas, and war has left . its full measure of poverty, discontent, and sorrow. In Italy he was arrested as a spy, and spent three days in prison awaiting action by the American Consulate.-: - , In India huge crowds of natives followed him around. Thsy thought him Buddha himself, and his little Ford the most wondrous thing ever made. A police guard was necessary to prevent the curious from dismant ling Bob's steed. In China, sick with cold and with a gnawing feeling of complete loneliness, who should greet the tired traveller's eye but an old classmate. Again a real meal, a friendly session with Americans. With a good rubbing with good old Vick's Vnporub "God fclusa ' - Bcb again on his way. In Africa, we forget how many lions Bob killed, but it is said that he was offered a kingdom and si elephants for his little John . Henry Ford. Here his equipment stood him in o-ood stead. His axes, spp.aes, ropes and pulleys, and a good Snrino-fipld served him time old and Bob mieht have been o6i.. . - served for dinner himself. It was a realistic drama. Here, Bob's Com- f the vovaee. a movie man, took many interesting pictures oi KBnst.fi and more savage men It would be impossible to do Bob justice in print. It is necessary to W him. He has lived each moment K! liffl to the full. He is a real Chesterfield, and loyal to a host of friends. As a speaker, ne is lightf ul. It is claimed by many of his friends that Bob has never been HpfPnted in a session, a w of that illustrious family of Bun combe County Reynolds, whose ad ' North Carolina's bar has been a score of brilliant lawyers and jurors, Bob nas natural calling. University students are accorded a treat in having Our Ttnh" as he is known in boastful Bun . j n ,r.rti-i -or ah nj.i combe County to speak here. Band Makes Hit at Durham High Last Thursday morning at ten twenty, five touring cars were seen lined up before Memorial Hall. The chronic chapel goers were mystified; but when they saw men bearing the big drum, numerous cornets, saxo phones, and other weapons coma out of New West and board the cars, the mystery was solved: the Band was doing something unusual, taking a trip. , Fifty pieces strong, it journeyed to Durham High School, where it gave an hour's concert before an overflow ing house. A moderate admission was charged. ; Quoting the Durham Herald: "The concert was an exceptionally good one and each number was well receiv ed. The audience was larger than the one which greeted Sousa and his Band several months ago; and while the . University Band will not com pare with the world famous aggrega tion, it was well received and really is an excellent band." John W. Deyton, of Green Moun tain, was initiated into Chi Tau re cently. - BLUE RIDGE IS AMAKEROFMEN Wonderful Opportunities Pre sented to Young Men who are Leaders mi. m . - ine Blue Ridge Student Confer ence is fast coming to be a real field of research on all phases and depart ments of southern college life. On. portunities in this line for keenly interested in any phase of col lege life are unlimited. When one remembers that practically one hun dred colleges and universities are rep resented there by carefully selected men and that for ten days they are together with many hours of time each day for unscheduled social inter course between delegates, one can reamiy see what opportunity there would be of investigating any one interest, of ours as said interest ia being expressed on these many cair puses. For instance, if the editor of a college paper wishes an exception ally rich line of experience and ob servation regarding the records and policies etc. of college papers else where, what greater asset to his next year's work could he find than that of rubbing shoulders with editors of other college papers at Blue Ridga in order to learn all details regarding o?L'hf puyications in seventy-five other clleges? And so it would run with any other activity regardless oC what it may be. Ample time is pro vided outside of conference schedule at Blue Ridge in order that individ uals and groups may exchange ideas and experiences along lines of their varied interests. It would be quite interesting to any Carolina man to inquire of Jack Allsbrook just what Blue Ridge meant to him last and the year before, but particularly last yea' because while there he knew he was to be president of our council this year and so ran a survey regarding student government in the different colleges that were represented a Blue Ridge. Jack says his experience and information gathered in this way kvas a tower of strength for his pres ent year's work. Not only was Jack there but Bill Gwynn, Ludlow Rogers, and many others who have ever been directly or indirectly responsible for Carolina's prize-winning honor sys tern. So it is suggested for your most serious and careful though this par ticular angle of Blue Ridge opportuni ties. Whether you are interested in athletics, literary societies, publica tions, Y. M. C. A., fraternities or what not, go to Blue Ridge and fill your note book with a real survey of your particular interest as it is found expressed on other campuses in the southland and it will help you more tv,on onw nt.hpr one thine to think through to a successful year in the affairs and details of your activity work. There is only one condition Dlaced upon those who go as dele gates to this conference, and that is (Continued on rage 4j Alumni to Banquet in New Swain Hall J. O. Harmon, student manager of Swain Hall, announces that they will be prepared to serve Alumni luncheon during commencement. The doors will be open for full business at the beginning of the first summer school. The new Swain Hall will be much more commodious than the "Swine" of old. The new kitchen is twice the size of the old one' and this addition will enable 800 students to eat at Swain Hall without cramping the cooks. The old kitchen was equipped to feed only 400; although they were forced to accomodate a somewhat larger number very " inconveniently. The new equipment has arrived and it will be installed as soon as possible. Mr. Harmon says that the new modern equipment will enable Swain to be run on a more economical basis. For instance they have a new $2,000 dish washer which will cut down con siderably on the dish-washing ex pense. . The dining room has also been re juvenated. A. section of hardwood floor replaces that which ravaged by the flames. " The overhead ceiling is receiving a coat of paint. Such prog ress indicates that Swain Hall will soon reverberate again with the sound of rattling dishes and smacking lips. Not to mention the occasional whiz ling of a roll-projectile. I 1 " ' i- , , . CLARHSON TALKS TO LAW CLASSES Justice Pleads for Moral Charac ter in the Practice of Law Justice Heriot Clarkson, associate justice of the Supreme court came back to Carolina Monday to live over again his college days and incident ally to speak to the University Law Association. In 1884, Justice Clark son was a student in the Law school here and studied under Professor Manning. Monday he came back to revisit the familiar scenes, to look up old acquaintances, and to see the growth of the University since his student days. He inspected the new Law building, went up to his old room in South, and stopped occasionally to greet old friends whom he used to know about the campus and village. At 1J o'clock Justice Clarkson spoke to the Law students on "Truth and Justice.'.'. His plea was for moral character in the practice of law. He came at the invitation of the Law Association, and his address was the fourth of the series that Supreme Court justices have delivered this year. "Religious freedom," Justice Clark son warned, "does not mean no re ligion, as many interpret it. I warn you young men ot tins dangerous tendency creeping up in certain uni versities if the country." ' Justice. Clarkson took a fling at Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, of Ccl umbia University who recently as serted that he was against the Eigh teenth amendment. "Believing in law and order and in orderly government, and the Eighteenth amendment having been passed in accordance with law, I am surprised that such an expression should come from one in authority in an institution of higher learning,' he said. The 0Mntfnn..i.W-.TTHa States is the golden cord that binds this nation together, and the ntack is sounding in nullification and should be condemned by the lovers of law and order of the nation. Slavery has gone. Polygamy has gone. The Louisana State Lottery has gone, and the Eighteenth Amendment is here to stav. and intoxicating liquor for beverage purposes is doomed as cer tain as night follows the day. "The Constitution, m many re spects, was not the original thought of the men who wrote it, but a com posite of fundamental ideas and rights that for ages had been won by men who desired to establish Truth and Justice on this earth. "Starting out in your career Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his riehteouness; and all these things shall be added unto you." "No men do more to mould public sentiment, than the attorneys. Our government rests on the consent of the governed. The attorney is the adviser in the office, an advocate in (Continued on Page 4) Dean of American Play wrights Lauds Kochers Augustus Thomas, Dean of Ameri can Playwrights, and a widely known figure in the theatrical world, has been very much interested in the Car- olinq Plnvrnftkarq from tho timfi of their first productions nnd l"t week sptit n toleernm to Professor "Fredr ick Koch in which he was very comnli- mentsry, and pointed out thnt. th Carolina Playmakers had contributed greatly to . production of high-toned dramas and comedies. 'Mr. Thomas is deeply interested in tho estaKiidh- ment of an American National Thea tre. The telegram sent by Mr. Thomas. a eopy of which is given below, will b presented by Professor Koch' to the University Building Committee as the former's view of the import ance of the work done by the Caro lina Playmakers, not merely locally, but nationally as well. "In my opinion your theatre is more important than a state insti tution. At a Missouri soaiety dinner night before last I referred to you and your theatre as destined to lead a nation movement in the rescue and restoration of the drama." The architect's plans have been completed and the University is ex pected to begin the remodeling of the old law building for the Playmakers' theatre in the near future. BOXING AT THE UNIVERSITY MAKES INITIAL BOW FRIDAY Cox and Bowley Get Together an Excellent Even Though Dempsey ' Wouldn't STRAW VOTE FOR GOVERNOR FRIDAY Tar Heel to Test Candidates - Chances in Big Race (By Malcolm M. Young) University students and faculty members will have an opportunity next Friday nisrht to cast votes in a miniature election for the governor ship of North Carolina. "The Tnr Heel." following the custom set by the Literary Digest and other papsrs, will conduct a straw vote to ascertain the campus choice for governor. Political interest at the Univer sity is ascending as the date for the holding of the primaries approaches, and the Tar Heel, desiring to find out exactly how campus sentiment stands, has decided that a straw vote shall be taken. All faculty members and registered students will be eli gible to vote in this selection. ;. All three gubernatorial candidates have appeared here in public address. Josiah William Bailoy, of .-Raleigh, who pronouncedly seeks "to beat thu Simmons' machine" addressed the students before the Easter holidays: as did Col. Isaac M. Meekins, of Eli zabeth City, who is running for gov ernor under the colors of the Rcpub Iican party. Angus W. McLean, of Lumberton, the "machine" candidate, a University candidate,' and a member of the University Trustees, addressed the students shortly after the Easter holidays. ' At the present time campus senti ment is unknown, although general aypciiittiitca art", uiut -atiCijWir u; a ranking favorite. It is a significant fact that he was the only candidate whom the University Band, saw fit to honor by the old-time "political music." Adherents of Bailey and the Great Unwashed of the Grand Oil Party all saw fit to comment on what they termed ranked favoritism, inas much as the said Band was not on hand when Messrs. Bailey and Meek ins performed for the benefit of the public. College straw votes are not a new innovation. Recently the Tulane Uni versity "Hullabalooe" conducted a straw vote on the approaching guber natorial election in Louisiana, and sentiment in that University became known for the benefit of the aspiring politicians. Wake Forest has held a straw vote to size up the situation there, and it is said that Mr. McLean turned out to be the favorite, although the other two candidates are Wake Forest grad uates. , In their speeches at the University the candidates supposedly laid before the students their "platforms" in the (Continued on Page 4) Grail to Give Its Final Dance Soon The Order of the Grail gives its final dance of the year next Satur day night. The dance, as usual, will be held in the Bynum gymnasium. Dancing will begin at 9:00 and will continue until midnight. The Caio lina Club Orchestra will play for the dance. The last Grail dance was pronounc ed by large numbers as the best Grail dance of the year. Strict watch was maintained by the Order and special precautions were exer cised to make it such, It is a known fact that a large number of out of town girls will at tend Saturday night's dance. There is nothing that will conflict with the dance and the committee is expecting to have more girls than ever to at tend the dance. Mr. W. J. Matherly will speak to the Greensboro chapter of the Amer ican Institutes of Banking Thursday night at the country club. On Fri day, Mr. Matherly will deliver the commencement address at Four Oaks high school. Dr. Odum spoke Monday at the Littleton high school commencement, Littleton, N. C. Free Program-Come For the entertainment of the Car olina student . body and faculty the University boxing team will take on the Fort Bragg fighters next Friday night. This card promises to be full of action. The University men have been working hard to condition them selves for this bout, and are deter mined to make a good showing. There will be seven three round bouts and the exihfbition. The Carolina fight ers will probably line up as follows: Mike Hall from Wilmington in the 120 pound class. D. V. Gray from New Bern in the 129 pound class. C. G. Smith from Elmhurst, N. Y. in the 132 pound class. C. V. Jones from Elizabeth City in the 142 pound cluss. . - Ray Quinn from Wilson, N. C. in the 153 pound class. A. E. Warren from Blounts Creek in the 1G5 pound class. The seventh match will bring to gether Kid Numbers, the best middle weight in the South today, and Danny Lee,. a Fort Bragg fighter of no mean ability. This match will be in . the form of an exihibition. The Caro lina student body is lucky to have the chance of seeing this great fighter in action. These matches are strictly ama teur,' and of the same calibre as Inter-collegiate bouts.- The men are going into them for the sole purpose of putting boxing on the map at Car olina. . Next year it is hoped that we will be ablo to schedule bouts with V. M. I.; Washington and Lee, Vir ginia, and the Naval Academy. The bout Frid;vy is only a starter.

Here, Mr. Striver after University Unifica tion, is something which might be well to remedy. The greatest impediment at present in the way of campus unity is the average student's lack of in terest in anything save his own in timate circle of friends and his own restricted field of interest. Before anything like unification may bo achieved on this campus the students must not only take a more varied in terest in things collegiate, but they must realize that . Carolina is not merely a glorified boarding-school. It is the intellectual heart of the state, and the intellecteual mother of the majority of the state's leaders. ' We would like to recommend the Alumni Review as a medium for impressing this fact on the student body. The Review of this year has" shown vast improvement over the publica tion of previous' years. The May is sue, just from the press, has upheld if not bettered the standard of ex cc'llenee which Dan Grant's office seems to have set for itself. The Re view seems to be a thermometer of the University's progress. A perusal of its pages gives an idea of Caro lina's' organization and influence which it is hard to obtain in any other way.
