as a relief to all concerned. Ex

speculation rife as to the out

Excited groups gathered be

calm and at ease stared vacantly
at a magazine or occasionally

windows. All were eager to wel
come those freshmen whom they
believed to be, possessed of the
rare good judgment to select
their particular fraternity. Alj

Council Justified
In Bringing: Action
Against Students
McINTOSH IS CHAIRMAN
Graham and Seven Other Fac
, ulty Men Submit Report
The faculty , committee ap
pointed to consider the case of
Starr and Fowler in connection
with the story "Slaves" states
that it find3 the story "improp
er for publication" but overrules
the decision of the Student Coun
cil in demanding the resignation
of the two men... .
The whole affair arose in the
publishing of the story "Slaves",
by Robins Fowler, in the Octo
ber number of the Carolina Mag
azine. The Student Council held
that , the story was "obscene and
indecent" and not fit for publi
cation in any University organ,
and.demanded the resignation of
Fowler, author of the, objection
able story and assistant editor of
the Magazine, and of Julian
Starr, editor of the Magazine.
These two men, denying the au
thority of the Student Council
in such matters, made an ap
peal to the faculty ; as a result
of this appeal, a committee was
appointed, three men by the
Magazine, three by President
Chase, and three by the Student
Council. : i ;
The report of the committee
holds that the council was within
its rights in assuming jurisdic
tion over the two men involved
and that the story was "improp
er for publication", but ruled
that "it does not consider the
publication of the story an act
of personal misconduct on the
part of the persons involved, but
rather as an act of bad taste and
aulty judgment in their capacity
as contributor to and editor of
the Magazine." The members
of this faculty committee were :
A. C. Mcintosh, chairman;
Frank P. Graham, secretary ;
W. S. Bernard, Howard W.
Odum, R. D. W. Connor, George
Howe, James B. Bullitt, C. S.
Mangum, and H. H. Williams.

HEATED DISCUSSION IN PHI SHOWS
FAVOR TO EIGHT MONTHS SCHOOL
Bill Introduced to Prevent Reproduction by the Insane Through
Approved State Board of Health Methods Objected to
as Very Unfair and Cruel
Y.
By a vote of the society the
Phi Assembly f Tuesday night
showed itself in favor of an eight
months school for the state
based on a franchise tax
The opening resolution con
cerned the levying of a fran
chise tax for the maintenance
throughout the state of an eight
months school term. Messrs.
Harrell, Whitley, and Johnston
strongly opposed the bill with
the idea that the rural districts
were hardly in the position, due
to lack of interest, finances, and
their general disregard for edu
cation, for a prolonged f school
terrn. They further maintained
that such a term would necessi
tate the transference of child
labor from the farms where it
was so important as well as
profitable. One of the speakers
also contributed the idea that,
according to history, this state
enjoyed its greatest prosperity
when its illiteracy was at its
height.
The resolutions found its de
fenders in Messrs, Mathews,
Lewis, and Chappell. They were
of the opinion that no efforts
should be spared for thorough
child education. Therefore,
they said, the initiative of ef
fectively instituting the eight
months school term should be
taken by the state and not by
the rather inactive rural dis
tricts. The vote of the society
showed them in favor of his reso
lution. " In the little time remaining,
a bill was introduced to the ef
fect that all incurably' insane'
should be sterilized, or made im
potent to reproduce, in a manner
