Saturday, May 7, 1927 WHEREFORE PRIDE IS JUSTIFIED ;- The members of the school of en gineering were "showing off" the oth er night. Their evening of Open House to the students, faculty and townspeople was not an ostentatious show; on the other hand it was a de lightfully entertaining, as well as dignified, presentation of what is housed in Phillips Hall, of which the rank and file of the student body is generally ignorant. From the stunts of the physics department at the be ginning of the personally conducted tours through the building to the final wind-up in the refreshment room, the trip through the various laboratories and classrooms was one of fascinat ing instruction. The school of engineering has every right to be proud of itself. With four major departments conferring degrees in chemical, civil, electrical and mechanical .engineering, this branch of the University is one of the bes"t. It is recorded that Hinton James, the first student to register in 1795, was a distinguished engineer after having completed ' his course here. After nearly one hundred and thirty-five years of ups and downs the school of engineering was perman ently established as a branch of the University of North Carolina in 1922. Since that time the four major de partments, named above, have filled out and with an excellent faculty, care in the acceptance of students, and commodious laboratories complete in every detail, the school has come to be recognized as one of the best schools of its size in the country. The best recommendation that any technical school can have is the de mand for its graduates by the larger electrical and engineering corpora tions.: Students graduating from the engineering school of the University of North Carolina have jobs awaiting their acceptance with one of the largest electrical corporations in the world, one of the officials recently wrote Dean Braune. The credit of es tablishing such a nationally recogniz ed institution in so short a time goes (D. D. C.) The Di Senate's amendment "pro viding that the University registrar be authorized to withhold the grades of any senators who owed the Sen ate" absence fees, etc., is pathetic, amusing, and pernicious. The gentlemen who have been try ing to secure an audience for their oratory are desperate. They have reason to deplore the lack of interest. in campus debating. It is to be la mented that this University, which boasts of .leadership in the South, is ted Jiw th so lethargic a student body. Alas for the entire human race I when men cease to crave an audience for their chatter and prefer the silent drama to the eloquence of our so- called literary societies! . We read with a chuckle that the austere senators have "authorized" the registrar to collect their fees. How gleefully the registrar must welcome this generous dispensation of author ity! No doubt this new officer, this publican to the Di Senate, will be a person of some importance. Will his services be given for the honor which his position entails, or will he re ceive "tips" from his exalted patrons? Since no man can serve two mas ters, perhaps our institution, with all its dignity, may lose its registrar to any handful of students whose or ganization, despairing of its lost charms, gladly embraces coercion of its members. Yet, we hardly believe this. Inas much as the Di Senate is wholly a student enterprise, devoid of faculty supervision, a respectable university should not become its tax collector. If the registrar may be hired out to unpopular enterprises of questionable value, we know 402 campus organiza tions which would appreciate his ser vices. If he may withhold scholastic credit for delinquency in purely stu dent-conducted activities, we respect fully believe that he should award credits for proficiency in those pur suits. We know many students who would clamor for course credit on their "student activities", at N. C. C. W., Sweet Briar, Salem, etc. Since when has the University con sented to nurse gasping organizations in which it has no part, over which it has no supervision? Whence comes this sudden paternal interference? Now for the validity of this Di amendment. We regret that it is necessary to remind the senators that the vote was miscounted. The presi dent, who may vote only in case of a tie, added his ballot to pass the amendment by the required three fourths majority. According to par liamentary procedure, no such amend ment may be passed or killed by the vote of one man. And the president of the Senate may vote only when the balloting is equally divided, that is, when no threefourths majority is needed. So say the rules of the na tional and state senates, after which organizations the Di is supposedly modeled. Hence, the Di Senate is yet with out a collector. Patronize our want ads. . ' v Council New Mayor Light Vote in Village; Force Office on New Executive. In an election featured by the coy ness of the candidates, who were al most without exception coerced into permitting themselves to be voted on, Zeb P. Council of the University Printery received 155 votes to 21 for J. T. Harris and one vote each for W. S. Roberson and R. A. Eubanks and is now mayor of Chapel Hill. P. L. Burch, superintendent of buildings for the University, with 127, R. D. W. Cannor, professor of history, with 121, and B. S. Thompson, con tractor, with 117 votes were chosen councilmen. 1 Mr. Council did not want to be mayor. W. S. Roberson, for several years chief executive of the municipal ity, refused to be run. Mr. Eubanks was an up-and-coming candidate un til he found it out and had his name withdrawn. Louis Graves early in the season was nominated and declined without thanks.

The Chapel Hill Woman's Club and the Woman's Association of the Uni versity were joint hostesses tothe visitors.' The first-floor of the wom an's building, which was attractively decorated with baskets of spring flowers and potted plants, was thrown open to the reception of the guests, Girls on the front lawn greeted the ladies upon their arrival and directed them to the door where they were met by a receiving line composed of Dr, and Mrs. H. W. Chase, MrsM. H. Stacy, University Advisor to Women, Mrs. A. M.

Until this week trac tors were used to haul the rocks and dirt from the blasting operations to the top of'lhe high embankment that is 'being erected at one end of the ravine, towing big wagons of five yards capacity each, but trucks are being used for that purpose now. (Fourteen trucks are in use at pres ent. ' Operations are being carried on during1 a sixteen hour shift, beginning at six a. m. and stopping at midnight. Huge floodlights are , employed at night. About 33 men are at work on the excavating job at present. A big rock-crusher is preparing the rocks suitable for making material for con crete work. The Teer company will sell the crushed stone to the T. C. Thompson Bros. Company, which has the contract for erecting the stands. About 6,000 yards of rocks will be removed and crushed, and then go back into the stadium. Smaller charges of dynamite are being used now than were used when LOST Brown bill fold containing money, A.

A afsiiMr line "4001, as vwj --..v3u wiue circula tion on the campus that a certain member of the faculty called up the superintendent and complained of the jars resulting from 'the too-heavy charges of explosives used in the blasting. It is said that the superin tendent immediately had 200 stioto t dynamite placed at a good depth, so as to produce an excessively heavy jar but very little noise," and had it fired! He then called up the professor, who said that the blast was much less severe than those preceding it. There upon the superintendent placed a sin gle stick of dynamite very near the surface and fired it, producing a large amount of noise, but practically no jar. The professor called up again and complained bitterly that the last blast jarred his house more than any 01 me outers naa. n ( It is said that fourteen windows were broken out in Old East dormi tory by one blast last week. Swain Hall and various homes in Chapel Hill have reported broken china 00 . result of the blasts. Several dows have been broken out in the x."
