He has left his work as sculptor there and is now in Raleigh, where he has been joined by his wife and children. " ' The work on Stone Mountain repre ' sents one of the most extensive1 pieces of carving ever attempted. In the attempt to portray a stone picture 150 feet high of the Confederate army, the most inter esting and difficult -conditions had to be contended With. Work has, been going on for many months and Borglum was with the movement from the beginning. He is eminently qualified to make an address on the subject. Some of his works are in North Caro lina.

KENTUCKY LOSES " IN DEBATE HERE Speech by Brown, of Kentucky Debate, Feature. JUSTUS SAVES THE DAY Brilliant Rebuttal Prevents Victory by Visitors. , The Carolina affirmative team com posed of Malcolm M. Young and Ernest L. Justus won a unanimous decision over the University of Kentucky debaters on Thursday night in Gerrard hall on the query, Resolved That Congress, by a two-thirds vote, should be empowered to override Supreme Court decisions de claring Congressional acts unconstitu tional. John Y. Brown and W. C. Keller composed the team' from Kentucky. The features of the debate were the constructive speech of Brown and the rejoinder of Justus. Until Justus, the last speaker of1 the evening, made his masterful rebuttal, it seemed that the Kentucky team had the debate sewed up. Much comment was heard regarding the excellent constructive speech of Brown, of the visiting team. The debate was one of the best and most interesting that has been heard here this year, f A larger than usual audience heard the discussion, which was heated and lively throughout. The' Carolina team in advancing the affirmative side of the query argued that the present power of the Supreme court Is not In harmony with . progressive de mocracy, and that the plan to have Con gress override decisions of the court is in harmony with progressive democracy. They further advanced the argument that their plan would remedy the existing evils in the system." The Kentucky debaters, defending the negative or ttatut quo, presented argu ments to show that no further change is necessary, that a change would destroy the independence of the judiciary as well as our present system of checks and bal ances. ' . ' J , The judges for the debate were Pro fessor C. C Cunningham, of State col lege; Dr. W. T. Laprade, of Duke, and Prof. C. D. Johns, of Greensboro. Pro fessor Walter J.

SIX WEEKS OF WORK J. C. Lyons Has Charge of Group from Local University. In the belief that there may be some students at the University who are con templating going abroad , this summer with the William and Mary Study Tour in Europe, attention is called to the fact that registration for this tour is "near- ing completion. There are still a few vacancies in the North Carolina group, and any students interested should con fer at once with Mr. J. C Lyons, of the romance language department The William and Mary Study Tour in Europe is a novel combination of a six weeks' summer school and a summer abroad. It is limited strictly to under graduate college and university students. Last summer a group of 20 college stu dents, most of them from Virginia insti tutions, trie,d out the plan, and it proved so successful that provision is made this summer for a double group, half from Virginia, and half from North Carolina. Members of the tour will sail from New York on the Leviathan and Albania on Saturday, June 13, and return to New York in the first week in September. The group will spend two weeks in Paris and then Visit Switzerland, Italy, France, Belgium, and England. The six weeks summer school will be held at Bagneres-de-Bigorre, in the Pyrenees mountains, in the buildings of the Uni versity of Toulouse summer school. Courses for the group will be given by American instructors, and will be taken from American college curricula. Courses will be given in English, economics, com merce, French, and government.' Since these courses are exactly the same as the courses in our summer schools, students can do the same amount of work that they would do in an American six weeks summer school. A fee of $G80 will cover all expenses, including passage , both ways. Upless the value of the franc rises considerably in the next few months, it is not ex pected that the actual cost will be over $000. ' Thus, plans are to refund about $75 to each student on return to New York.' Further information and bulletins cov ering all details may be obtained at the Romance Language Office, third floor Murphey hall, by seeing Mr. Lyons.

ARE MANY INITIATES Tuesday Night Will Hear Numerous ' Yells and Shrieks. On next Tuesday night will transpire an event which has been awaited eagerly for more than hidf a ja-ar-'-an event at once wished for and dreaded by the men whom it most concerns. This event is the fraternity initiation. To the freshman who has been since pledge date on December 4 more or less of a "goat" to his future brethren, ini tiation will bring a relief most welcome in spite of the preliminary horseplay. The freshman class this year is the larg est in the history of Carolina, and this means that more men will be initiated and that therefore the ceremonies will be carried out on a larger scale than ever before. Veils and shrieks will be heard Tues day night, and strangely awkward fig ures will be seen to do strangely awk ward things, to an accompaniment of hoarse commands and sounding whacks. But all this will serve only to heighten the pleasure which the initiate will after wards feel. The date for the Initiation was set at a recent meeting of the Pan-Hellenic coun cil. A proposal to change the system of rushing freshmen was also considered at the council meeting.
