The following letter was handed to the President by Senator Milne and was read to the Senate: Gentlemen of the Dialectic Senate. Dear sirs: v During my freshman year, I, like every other first-year man, suffered from many delusions. One of these was that the Dialectic Senate was an organization composed of students in terested in liberal and eloquent ex pression. The past three years have been spent in disillusionment. I regret thai; I can no logner find a vestige of worthwhile activity in the Dialectic Senate. As you must inwardly know, however, it is at pres ent only a battlefield for cheap debate and questionable politics. As I con sider the recent occurrences within 'ts halls, I cannot regard my entrance into the organization as other than an act of freshman indiscretion. , Please consider this my formal res ignation. 1 , ., : ; , Yours truly, , ' - . DAVID D. CARROLL In answer to. the resignation ten dered the Di- by Senator Carroll the Senate did not see fit to grant Sen ator Carroll his resignation but be cause of unpaid dues and recent ac tions in the hall that tended to de rogate from the dignjty of the Sen ate he was granted a dishonorable discharge by vote of 19 to 3. ' The Senate was very glad, to ac cept from the hands of Senator Ken nett a cane that in the past has been the property of the Di but had been lost for some three years. This -is the original cane, purchased by the for presidents to use as a matter f dignity when acting as the chief official of the Senate.

A. and Roach fea tured the annual Booloo Club selec tions, which were posted in the show window of Patterson's Drug Store yes terday morning. Dave Carroll receiv ed the doubtful honor of Permanent Booloo, while Billy Koenig was made President of the Club for next year. Large crowds flocked around the lists all day, and the prevailing senti ment seemed to be that unusual good judgment was used in picking the new members. About seventy-five indivi duals made at least one of the num erous clubs and offices. Every year the Imperial Order of Booloos, an organization whose origin is ' shrouded in mystery and whose name carries with it a certain un flattering significance, selects the big gest "shines" an asses on the campus to make up its membership for the next year. The term "Booloo," ap plied to a person, has come to carry with it a certain half humorous, half derisive stigma on the campus. : It is generally thought of an synonom ous with the terms "jackass," "dumbbell," and . "ignoramus." The Booloo Club itself is never heard of except at the annual selection of new members, supposedly made by men picked for the club the preceding year. The selection takes place during the last week or two of the spring quar ter, and the results are posted at Pat terson's Drug Store. "Shine" How ard was chosen Chief.

At a meeting of the tennis team Monday night immediately after mon ograms were issued, Charles E. Wad dell of Asheville, was elected captain for next year to succeed "Dune" El gin, and Caesar .

The Club sails from Hoboken July 30th, on the S. S. New Amsterdam, and will land at Plymouth on or about August 7th. . In England, concerts at the American Club, Stratford-on-Avon, the receipts of which will be donated toward the rebuilding of the Shakespeare Theater, and a large benefit concert in London for the Queen Alexandria Memorial will com prise part of the itinerary. . On August 23rd the Club will sail for Paris, where the Fournet, a hotel highly favored by student-travelers, will be their headquarters. Concerts will be presented at American Church, St. Lukes, and other Parisian centers. In the interim, to forestall any symp toms of staleness among the song sters, trips will be made to Versailles and some of the larger battlefields. September 6th, the Club leaves for Boulogne, where it will sail on the Volendam for New York about a week later, arriving approximately a week before the University opens for the fall quarter. In the personage of Dr. T. J. Wil son, Registrar of the University, the Club has had an invaluable support er. Dr. Wilson, while on a tour of Europe this Spring, visited the am bassadors of England and France, from whom many helpful suggestions and directions were obtained. To Ernest F. Young, business man ager of the Club, and Paul J, Weaver, head of the University Music De partment, most of the credit for a successful tour will fall. Owing to the efforts of these gentlemen, spec ial travel rates, minimized individual expense, and other greatly desired commodities have been obtained. - The club will assemble at Chapel Hill July 14th, where it will rehearse during the week. Then it proceeds to New York, giving concerts en route, and will be honored there by a reception at the City Hall. Later, Mayor "Jimmy" Walker will wish them "bon voyage." All indications at present point toward an enjoy able and profitable trip. The following men are making the trip: Junius G. Adams, Jr., Asheville; Charles Brantley Aycock, Raleigh; George M. Beasley, Jr., Monroe; Clif ford C. Branch, Jr., Burgaw; Guy W. Byrd, La Grange; Hylton K. Crotts, Winston-Salem ; Edmund L. Curlee, Burlington; Thomas J. Edwards, (Continued on page four)
