Graduate Students May Have
Private Dormitory Next Year
Plans Meet with Approval of
Graduate Dean and Busi
i ness Manager.
PROBABLY BE OLD SMITH
Advanced Students Want More
Quiet and More' Fellowship;
Entire Graduate Club Behind
Proposition. . ',
The graduate students at the Uni
versity are to have a dormitory re
served for their use, if present plans
are carried to completion.' ' For some
time the graduate students of the
University of North Carolina have
felt the need of a special dormitory
for occupancy by advanced students.
" The lack of fellowship among gradu
ate students, the absences of conveni
ent rooming facilities for graduates
who wish to live together, and the
great need for quiet on account of the
Intensive nature of their, studies
these are only a few of the obvious
reasons why a special building should
be provided for the advanced students.
Early in September the executive
committee of the Graduate Club of
the University took cognizance of
present inadequacy, and saw fit to in
quire into the possibilities of securing
special rooming quarters for the mem
bers. Investigation confirmed a very
positive student sentiment in favor
of such a proposal. Further inquiry
revealed that the Dean of the Gradu
ate School and the Business Manager
of the University were not indiffrent
to the proposal. "
Recently a committee of students
has been appointed to consider further
the original suggestion and formulate
a plan for the details of arrangement
for the new plant. 1 It is hoped that
the University will ultimately con
struct an up-to-date dormitory with
adequate study rooms and bed rooms
with special lounging or reading
rooms pn the first floor. It is also
hoped that the building will be located
so as to insure the maximum quiet
and the minimum noise from external
disturbances. ' In the event that the
University builds no new dormitory
for a while, it is expected that a
temporary plan will reserve one of
the present buildings (probably Old
Smith which will be re-worked im
mediately) to supply the need.
Ready by September
The Graduate Club held its last
regular meeting of the year Thurs
day night at which time the commit
tee on the dormitory proposal report
ed that no less than fifty single men
Btndents had expressed a desire to live
in the building, that a number of sin
gle instructors had also" requested
residence privileges, and that other
students had not been given an op
portunity to express their desires.
Mr. C. T. Woollen, Business Man
ager of the University, was present
at the meeting, and he assured the
Club that the administration would
try to carry out the wishes of the stu
dents in regard to the proposal.
The Graduate Club feels that the
separate dormitory is now practi
cally assured and should be ready for
occupancy by September. When the
new residence is made ready, the
University Graduate School will be
provided with an asset that only a
few of the larger Eastern Universi
ties now have.
Senior Week Outfits
The Senior outfits this year
will be somewhat different
from those which the Seniors
of past years have chosen to
wear during senior week. Those
in charge have worked out a
plan with Jack Lipman of the
University Shop by which he is
to furnish, the senior class with
outfits which consist of a cane,
a soft, white Panama hat, and a
hat-band of the class, colors.
This plan :does away , with the
wing collar and the tie of class
colors, but it. is thought that
the hat and hat-band will be' a
more lasting semblance of col
lege days-for use in future class
meetings and reunions. The hat
will be very durable, and can be
rolled up and packed away for
future use. The cane will be the
only article which will lend dig
nity to the make-up.
Jack Lipmari of the University
Shop requests-that all those
Seniors who have," not. ; already
done so call by the Shop as soon
as possible and sign up for their
outfits as only a limited number
are, 'to be ordered. The cost of
the, entire outfit will be only two
dollars and fifty cents.
NOTICE
Bids are open for refresh
ments for approximately 300
people for the Senior Ball, Fri
day, ; May 20. Write or com
municate IMMEDIATELY with
Jim Van Ness, Box 27, or Sig
ma Chi House. - " '

All Plans Made for Phi Beta

day Night.
Eyes of the campus are now turned
to one of the most important events
of the year, the Phi Beta Kappa ini
tiation which, as previously announc
ed, will be held in Gerrard Hall Tues
day night at 8:30 o'clock.
This year's prop of shining lights
is one of the largest in the history
of the University. About' thirty-three
students are eligible to be taken into
this organization, and, some unusually
good scholastic records have ' been
made. " Two men have made all A's
and several have maintained an aver
age of over ninety-five.
Dr. W. W. Pierson, of the History
Department, will be the speaker for
the occasion, and his subject will be
"Opportunity for the Advancement of
Scholarship in the South." After this
address the neophytes will be "put
through."
This initiation" will mark the one
hundred and fifty-first anniversary of
Phi Beta Kappa, and the twenty
third anniversary of the Carolina
chapter. Since its foundation in 1776
at William and Mary college, the fra
ternity has grown and progressed un
til now it boasts of some of the na
tion's most eminent men as members.
WHITMAN PRAISES
LAW PROFESSION
President American Bar Asso
ciation Speaks to Law
; School. " ' .
"The Law Schools of this
country today are particularly
fitting men to become statesmen
and legislators," declared Hon.
Charles S. Whitman, twice gov
ernor of New York and now
president of the American Bar
Association, speaking to stu
dents of the Law School Mon
day morning in the Law Build
ing. "In the same manner that
West Point trams soldiers, An
napolis trains sailors, the law
schools are turning out national
and local leaders."
The law profession is one that
rewards only the most diligent
with success. Steady consistent
work is one of the requisites.
This work is not a drudgery
on the contrary, there is no more,
inspiring, absorbing, or dramat
ic scene than that presented by
the court room. -Success re
quires work, but, "I have found
no, substitute for work," states
Mr. Whitman. , .
''Law' is not a business, it is
a "profession," stated Mr. Whit
man.) "The main incentive that
a lawyer should have is to see
that the laws are enforced. When
those laws become oppressive
to .the progress of society as a
whole, the, lawyer has always
been.rady to life his ; voice, a-
gainstthe errors of the govern
ment." " ' '"' '
According to Mr. Whitman,
there is, no profession that has,
given more to our nation than
that of.lawand with the excep
tion of the ministry, there is not
a nobler one, V !
In closing he stated that dur
ing his time he has had several
titles, but of them all, there is
none finer than "Attorney and
Counselor at Law.";.

The impending cloud of final exams,
each day growing more threatening
and imminent, fails to place a blan-.
ket of gloom upon Ye Olde Univer
sity campus. In fact, the black fog
is far from effective, for four dances
are scheduled for next week-end, al
most on the eve of the dreaded quiz
zes. : .;; . J.
The feature of these dances will
be the Grail dance in Bynutn gymna
sium, Saturday evening, May the
twenty-first Since this hop is to be
the last affair given by the order this
season," every effort is being made to
make the finis the best yet. The dance
committee of the Grail is planning
elaborate decorations and novel entei
tainment during intermission, and the
Buccaneers have been engaged to fur
nish the music.
The week-end's social curtain will
be raised Friday night spontaneously
in Durham and Chapel Hill. The Duke
and Carolina chapters of the Delta
Sigma Phi fraternity will be hosts at
a ball at the Washington Duke Ho
tel, with "Jelly" Leftwich and his
orchestra furnishing the music; and
at the same time, the Senior Ball will
be given on the Hill in Bynum gym
nasium. Decorations are being plan
ned for the latter affair, and refresh
ments will be served. Kike Kyser and
nis Orchestra will keep things going
from nine-thirty till one. During the
course of the week, invitations for
the Chapel Hill dance will be sent to
every "senior, 'and all are expected to
attend. ' -
On Saturday evening and coming
simultaneously with the Grail dance,
there will be a ball given by the
Alpha Kappa Psi, a commerce' fra
ternity, at the Carolina Inn from nine
until twelve. Kike Kyser and , bis
Orchestra will make their second ap
pearance of the week at this hop, and
all indications are for a most enjoy
able affair. "

RESCUE VENABLE
Young Conflagration Extinguished
Without Great Loss of Life
or Property.
Much smoke and very little
blaze characterized the fire scare
in Venable Hall Tuesday night,
Someone carelessly dropped a
lighted cigarette in a basket of
waste paper in one of the wash
rooms, the paper caught on fire,
and dense clouds of white smoke
filled the room. ; ; 1
Dusty fire extinguishers were
ruthlessly torn from their places
on the walls by the volunteer
fire fighters to be employed in
case of necessity against the con
flagration. The. fire was some
what difficult to locate and was
a great disappointment to those
who wanted to see a big fire.
The local fire department was
completely snooted. They were
not even made aware of the ex
istence of the fire. The reason
for this seeming slight was that
immediate action was required
in small amounts.
