In a turbulent hour and a quarter
mass meeting in Memorial Hall yes
terday morning, the student body of
the University passed a resolution
calling for a committee of student
representatives to meet with the Stu
dent Council and make an investiga
tion into the suspension of thirteen
men for gambling Tuesday, and oth
er actions of the Council throughout
the school year.
The resolution, presented by C. R.
Jonas, Lincolnton, called for the ap
pointment of three men from each
undergraduate class and each gradu
ate school by the presidents of the
classes. This committee will meet
with the Student Council and the sus
pended men in open meeting, go into
the matter thoroughly, and make a
report to the student body in a mass
meeting. An amendment provided for
the holding of this mass meeting at
chapel period Monday.
F. F. Bradshaw, Dean of Students,
announced yesterday that on account
of the proximity of examinations Mon
day's chapel will not be extended be
yond the usual thirty minute period.
If the discussion is not completed
Monday, the students will have an
opportunity to finish it Monday night
or at some other date.
Jonas' resolution took precedence
over a resolution previously submit
ted by Julian Starr, editor of the
Carolina Magazine. This resolution
follows: "In view of First, the meth
ods used in obtaining evidence upon
which this case depended; Second,
the severity of the sentences dealt
out in this wholesale manner; Third,
the dissatisfaction arising from the
Council's action on the part of the
student body; we move that the ac
tion taken by the council against these
men be set aside. And in view of the
fact that the student body should take
cognizance of the admitted breach of
a University ruling against gambling,
we also move that all the men receiv

Old Kappa Beta Phi
Chapter Will Return
Local Chapter of Ancient Fraternity
Will Again Seek to Rival Phi
Beta Kappa Order.
Considerable comment is being
aroused in campus lodges by the
rumor that the now dormant chap
ter of Kappa Beta Phi is soon-to be
revived and an installation will take
place in the .spring quarter. Kappa
Beta Phi is an ancient and vener
able interf raternity social order, es
tablished in 1786, ten years after its
acknowledged enemy, Phi Beta Kap
pa. "Kappa Bete" is frequently de
nounced and defamed as a mere
"drinking club," but its avowed aim
is to select outstanding fraternity
men and campus celebrities and coal
esce them into a convival . comrade
ship, avoiding by a wide margin the
cold mathematical frigidity and nn
fraternal aspect of the rival society.

Change In Time Of
Nominations Made
To Be Held Night of March 23 Instead
Of at Chapel Period.
S. G. Chappell, President of the
Student Body, has announced that
nominations for the general campus
ejections will take place Wednesday,
March 23, at 7 o'clock, Memorial Hall,
instead of at Chapel hour the same
day, as was the original intention.
This has been done because the
meetings of the Institute of Human
Relations, which are being held all
week, will take up Memorial Hall
every Chapel period during the week,
r-vo Chapel will be held during the
week. ' ' .
The.nominations will be held on ex
actly the same day, and at the same
place. The only change will be of
time, from morning to 7 o'clock in the
evening. The change is not expected
to diminish the interest in the least,
and will considerably expediate matters.
NEW SYSTEM OF
CAMPUS RULE IS
PROBABLE RESULT
Norman Block Introduces Reso
lution Demanding Considera
tion of Changes in Policies.
A convention of representatives of
the students to make changes in the
present system of student government
and to draw up a definite plan for
a new system was approved by the
student body in the mass meeting in
Memorial Hall yesterday morning.
Norman Block, Greensboro, submitted
a resolution calling for the convention,
which was adopted by an almost unan
imous majority. '
In discussing his resolution, Block
said: "This case of the suspension of
thirteen men for gambling and the
reaction on the campus to it throws
a challenge in the faces of the stu
dents. Needless" to say, the present
system of student government is a
decadent one, in that it is not able
,to cope with problems which arise
today in the student body.
"We have grown very rapidly in"
the past few years. Our tremendous
growth is both our strength and our
weakness; our strength in that we
are able to present a larger mass of
students and our weakness in that we
have failed to adjust ourselves to the
new conditions of life brought about
by a suddenly enlarged community."
Mr. Block's resolution follows: Re
solved that the students of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, in body as
sembled on March 11, 1927, in Memo
rial Hall, do declare that a conven
tion of representatives of said stu
dents be, called; and that the above
mentioned representatives should meet
to. investigate and discuss the nature
of the present system of student gov
ernment; and furthermore, that same
representatives shall draw up a def
inite plan for student government and
that this plan be presented to the
members of the student body for rat
ification.", , .
General commendation of Block's
resolution was current on the campus
yesterday. It is understood on good
authority that several new plans for
student government here have already
been evolved among the students, and
will be submitted to the convention.
Although it is said that the imminence
of examinations may hold up work
on the changes in student government,
next week, it is understood that the
convention will be called in the near
future.
24 CONTESTS ON
BASEBALL CARD
Season Opens With Dartmouth
Here April 612 Home
Games. '
The most radical change in the 1927
baseeball schedule made public above
is the substitution of .a four day
Southern trip for the annual northern
trip. This year Virginia will be tho
fartherest point reached North and
Atlanta and Athens will be the South- ,
era extremities. .
Twenty-four games in all have been
arranged. Twelve of the contests will
be played on Emerson field and seven
others will be played on North Caro
lina soil. Fans will get plenty of
chances to watch the Tar Heels in
action as only five games will be out
of the state. Ten of the games are
with Southern Conference teams and
if the Tar Heels should win the ma
jority o these they will stand an ex
cellent chance of copping the Con
ference title.
The first game will be April s,
when Dartmouth will invade Emer
son field. Five games will be played
before the Easter holidays and the '
team should have plenty of time in
which to round into shape before it
leaves on April 16 for its Easter
Trip.
There is a possibility that an extra
game or two will be added to enliven
commencement. i . .
The Epworth League will hear "K.
