Tuesday, October 30, 1928 PARAGRAPHIA Once again the plea arises for the ompletion of Graham Memorial. As it stands now the building is another of the paradoxes of nature an un finished structure in memory of a man whose work was noted for its thoroughness. In the College Humor straw vote, ballots were' marked for Will Rogers , and Texas Guinan. Evidently some body is ready to "give the little girl a hand.,r -' ; '" - Since hearing that the Playmakers will broadcast over radio and probably for the Vitaphone, our latest ambition is to hear ' the door slam in "Job's Kinfolks". or the eggs frying in 'Turin's." 'V. Now that the co-eds are planning to have athletic events of their own, we wonder what sort of costumes the feminine cheerios will have to. wear? j - . The committee, on Physical Educa- tion suggests having - gym . compul- sory for freshmen and sophomores with" credit .granted. That Vmight make it worth while to trudge through the snow on stormy days. " We wonderif the campus respect ed the honor code's mandate to biijuin 10 uul aiuiit; uuxing uie re cent straw vote on the; presidential candidates. - . . And the Greatest of These Is Which? With the report of the Faculty Committee on Physical Education there comes up again the question of the three outstanding needs of the University along the line of its build ing program. Undoubtedly we need a pew gymnasium, a ne present one is inadeauate for the nhvsical welfare of the student body. The,, freshman class alone " must be divided into numerous "sections before it can find space for exercising, and the major part of all other classes never sees the interior of the gym except - per haps at Grail dances. J . ... , At the same time Graham Mem orial stands in neglect, a silent re proach to any further building expan sion prior to the . completion of what is already, begun. v Nor can it be de nied that the need for such a building is seriously felt,- A center for stu dent activities "T and student" life, an appropriate place for meetings of all kinds, a building large enough ,to pro- VlUC lur LI1U3U liiiujs ul wmui iiianj' j students want to get together such a building should indeed receive the consideration of 'the University and an concerned." A third item on the long list of needs Is a Fine Arts Building. That a University of the size, reputation, and actual merit of the . University of North Carolina should fail to have the nousiag facilities for a much needed School of Fine Arts, is unfor tunate. : What few courses are now being effefed along the lines of Fine Arts are so scattered through the curricula ;and throngh the various schools that they are scarcely known. What should be, done is to unify them into one school, plan additional courses," and provide a building for a newly created School of Fine Arts. V There are the three items each of which inevitably springs to the fore front m every discussion of a build ing program.. When it comes to mak ing a distinction, the difculty is readily apparent. Each need is a vital one and it - worthy of consideration. It is not a natjterofwieliVFeAsliall have, for eventually they will all Jte here- There only remains, then, - the question of which should come first. D and Flii Were Formed y ILweesome' Professo Speakihfi The Student Miiid Charles Wilson Harris, Young Professor With Elegant Literary Tastes and Courtly Manners Was Driven by Absence of Gaity in Early Chapel Hill Life to Found Debating Society V in 1775; Present Societies Outgrowth of This Organization -,;: . - o- . ' : - v; r Proposes To Banish Hawkers As I - review the happening of the past Saturday there is but one blot that remains m my mind to mar what otherwise would have been a perfect college day. What I have reference to. is the - horde of non student tradesmen that invaded out campus last Friday - and Saturday, placed themselves upon every street cornet, and pestered every visitor, alumnus, and student by their sales of football insignias. They were not a part of the day: they were not a part of our Univer sity;: and there were no bonds which brought them close to Carolina. Therefore, on a collegiate day' of this type such visitors should be excluded from the, campus and the sidewalks of Chapel HilL ; r Their places should be filled by University students who are either in need , of money to pay their col lege expenses, or else desire to earn spending money. Students of this type did offer for, : sale certain ar ticles of this nature last Saturday, but. they met . with so much compe tition that they were forced into ob livion. For every student that one met on the way to Kenan Stadium with wares of ?this type, one met five or ten men from the "outside," each attempting to take his share of the profits from the student sellers. The question that should come to out minds is whether or not our week ends would be more enjoyable to all if only students were allowed to en gage in a trade of this nature, and whether the type of men that in- evaded our campus last Saturday was desirable or not. As a closing reminder we must also remember.,. that, in our student body thfere are liidre :nnpri nppHino' mn-rV n , -w T I H- . IJU defray expenses 1 than at the, present time can be attended to. Would it not be wise, then, if this field should be thrown open to students and no one else, with the sole purpose of. allow ing Carolina men to derive whatever profits there may be, and thus mak ing, it truly a University Day. V CRAWFORD B. MacKETHAN Theatre Tickets for . Tar Heel Reporters : A passHoiall the shotvs at the Car olina Theatre next week will be giv en the reporter on' the Tar Heel staff who writes the best story for the three issues of the paper this' week. The editor and managing editor are interested in improving the quality of the news writing, and desire each member of . the editorial staff to re port to the Tar Heel off ice daily even though he may not be able to do any work every day. The judging of the stories will rest in the hands of the editor, the busi ness manager and the' managing edi tor. . - . . ' On January 15, 1795 the Universtiy of North Carolina formally opened its doors to receive students. As the winter was very severe, and the roads almost impossible, Dr. David Kes, the presiding jprofessor, found that he alone cp&d not care for the student body with ease. " .Therefore, the trus tees chose Charles Wilson Harris, an honor 'graduate of Princeton, to serve in the .'capacity of tutor of Mathma- tics. "Young , 'Harris had a strong mind, elegant literary tastes, courtly manners, and iweigfyt of: character.! says t)r. Battle's Histo of North Carolina., . He was. deenly Interested in social problems and was grieved li find that : there was very little op portunity for social contacts at Chapel HilL f This - element in his character undoubtably " explains his very con? spiciops part in the organization of the two campus literary societies, the Dialectic. Senate and Philanthropic Assembly..;' .''.-.,;.- . '..;;; ; On June 3, 1795 the Debating society was organised, officers elected and rules drawn I up. s The first of ficers were; James Mebane of Orange county, president; John Taylor . of Orange county, clerk: and Lawrence Toole of Edgecombe, treasurer. The first : members were pledged under seal to promote the best interests of the society and to obey its laws and mandates. . The society held its meetings on Tuesday evening . each week. It was considered advantageous to divide the members, into two groups. The two groups spoke and read alternately. The main feature of each meeting was a combination debate.; Two members, one for the affirmative and one for the negative, were chosen to introduce the query. After they had stated their arguments,' the hall was thrown open for discussions relating to the querys. The group did not operate long under the name of the Debating Sot ciety, however. On June 25, 1795 Maurice Moore of Brunswick county moved that the society be divided. The motion was carried one week ; later. The new organization assumed the name of "The Concord Society." The cause of the new movement is not known, as, no reason appears in the authoritative records, It is conjec tured however, that it was a manif es tation ' of party; feeling. The name Concord and the substituted Philan thropic, as well as the addition, of the word liberty to the motto of the other society look in .this direction. Before the division the number, was. so large that efficiency, was impossible. It js probable; therefore, that a third rea son for the division was to make two grpups small enough to permit each person, to take an active part in the meetings. .. . ' r For a number of weeks men were allowed to belong to both societies, as .hey met-at different timesT The prac tice was eventually forbidden owing, undouptably, . to the development of rivalry Detween the two organizations. Eventually m recognition of the need of training in Parliamentary procedure both societies decided to pay especial attention to Parliamen tary rules. . Hence the names Senate and Assembly corresponding to the two houses of the American Congress. For many years the. two organiza tions have been an instrument for moulding sentiment on the campus of the University Men-who have made good in business look back with fond recollections of their career in this organization where they were trained . - for life by a taste of life itself.

Myla Royall, and of Mrs; 'Stacy. -'' - At first it was thought that the attic floor of Spencer Hall could be furnished for gymnastic purposes, but, this plan was found to be imprac tical 'and so during the summer, ar rangements were .made to secure'the men's gymnasium for an hour a night and .Dr. Lawson . was secured as coach for ' basketball.
