in the reorganization of the Gaston
County Club are requested to meet
on the second floor of the .Y. M. C. A.
at 10 o'clock tonight.
President Barry W. Chase was
confined to his home yesterday be

able to make an address at Chapel
hour as had been planned..
The annual business meeting of the
General Alumni Association 'will be
held in Chapel Hill December 7-8thf
according to an announcement Jy
Maryon Saunders, alumni secretary.
The dale was set Saturday at an
alumni board of directors meeting at
the Carolina Inn. A
The Alumni Association used to
hold its annual business meetings at
Commencement, but the festive atmos
phere of graduation and reunions
was poor background for more serious
business considerations. So the time
of meeting was changed several years
ago to the fall of the year:
The annual : alumni convocation is
called" the General Assembly,' and it is
the constitutional convention of the
alumni. Regular-delegates, and repre
sentatives of the various alumni clubs
and class organizations attend the
General Assembly to discuss matters
germane to the general aims of the
Alumni Association; formulate
.general policies ; legislate for and con
trol the work -of the General Associa
tion. V
No program for this fall's General
Assembly has been yet outlined, said
Mr. Saunders. A committee will be
appointed by the alumni president to
begin plans immediately, and an
nouncements of -this committee will be
made soon. The program will cover
parts of two days; alumni will gather
Friday and hold sessions until Satur
day morning. December 8th is the
date of the football game with Duke
University, and alumni in attendence
at the General Assembly will have op
portunity of seeing this game.
There are 34 University of North
Carolina alumni clubs in the state. All
these have met requisites of member
ship, organization, etc., and are called
chartered clubs. . Practically every
county in North Carolina has an
alumni organization, but not all are
chartered. In addition to the alumni
clubs in the state there are also alumni
organizations in out-of-state alumni
centers. New York, Chicago, Wash
ington, Atlanta, Norfolk, all N have
thriving organizations of alumni.
There are also other local , alumni or
ganizations out of -the state. Every
chartered alumni club has a voice in
the General Assembly, and delegates
are allowed from each club.
.Practically every University class
since '79 now has a . permanent or
ganization, and is also represented by
vote in the General Assembly. Thus
University alumni are organized both
geographically, and by college classes.
Mayor Issues Order
On behalf of the police department,
the mayor of Chapel Hill has asked
that the townspeople and students
please refrain from parking their
cars on the streets after ten o'clock
next Saturday morning unless it is
absolutely necessary that they do so.
A large number of visitors is expected
for the .Ga. Tech-Carolina game, and
it is necessary that they have some
place to park their cars.
Approximately ftfty extra officers
from Durham, Greensboro, Winston
Salem, and Raleigh will be on duty,
whereas, there were only eight extras
on duty last Saturday for the V. P. I,
game. That will give an idea of the
number of . visitors' expected.

MEMBER OF CLASS OF 1904
Was Connected With Numerous
Activities During His Col
lege Career.
; In a chapel talk yesterday morning
J. B. Fordham explained to the
Freshmen the student council regula
tions in regard to bad checks. It was
explained that over a million dollars
in , checks will be made out by the
students at the University during
this year and of ''this large amount
there are some which are bad, due to
carelessness.
As the rule was explained, when
a bad check is returned to the office,
a messenger is immediately sent to
the man who gave the check. The no
tice sent includes the student council
ruling on this subject which is:
1. A student has 48 hours in which
to make a bad check, good and report
to; this office during office hours
with such check or receipt. The pen
alty for not doing so is check proba
tion. - ' - '
2. The extreme limit within which
a student may taKe up a . cnecK ana
report to this office is 10 days "from
the time he receives this notice. The
penalty for not doing "so is automa-
tic suspension from the University
for the , remainder of the current
quarter. ' S
In any case a check returned due
to circumstances within the student's
control will cause him to be .placed
on check probation. Second offence
draws vautomatic suspension from the
University with the right of appeal
to the student council. "
It was explained by Mr. Bradshaw
who introduced Mr. Fordham, that
95 per cent of the checks that come
back are due to carelessness, and he
requested that all students be very
careful in handling their checking accounts.
