"That there is a need for solving
the situation is quite apparent," Dean
Cloyd said in making announcement
of the plans, of the conference. "We
want the fraternities to feel free to
discuss the situation in regard to
admission.: of freshmen to fraterni
ties, scholarship requirements, and
institutions. While we have suggest
ed this move ourselves, we hope the
fraternity members will feel that they
will have an equal part in all discus-
sions. ; ; .
The fraternity problems of some of
the institutions represented appear at
this time to be of no consequence,
said Dean Cloyd, while at one or two
of the colleges attention" should be
given to the matter, in the opinion of
the faculties.
National fraternities and their
headquarters are also interested in
tne matter, buch suggestions that no
student be initiated until . he" passes
all his freshman work, initiation be
postponed, or pledge 4ay be set, after
the fall and winter terms ' and ntfhprs

the organizations. . 1 ' w

ship in the National'Student Associa
tion of America, which body has re
cently been admitted to membership
in the Confederation des Etudiants,
a world-wide organization with head
quarters at Brussells Belgium.
The purpose of the Confederation
des Etudiants, organized after the
World War, is ' to further the possi
bilities of nermanent -neace bv inter
esting itself international athletics,
publications, and debates which will
bring about a better understanding
between the students of various
nations of Europe, Africa North
America, and South America. J
Dean Bradshaw explained the Uni
versity regulations .in regard to
Thanksgiving holidays at chapel yes
terday. As Mr. Bradshaw explained
the rules, the length of these holi
days was determined by a committee
of the faculty six years ago. At that
time the decision of the committee was
placed before the student body, and
after, a discussion by the students the
present holiday of from' Wednesday
at 1 o'clock until Monday at 8:30 was
adopted.
""The University gives what it
thinks a reasonable holiday," said Mr.
Bradshaw, "and we expect the stu
dents to be reasonable in their obser
vance of the rules .that have been
made." Mr. Bradshaw further ex
plained that reasons that would be
valid at; any other time for Excuses
from class would not be accepted. '
' "The penalty for cutting class on
either the Wednesday before or the
Monday following Thanksgiving, will
be a month's attendance probation for
each class cut," said Mr. Bradshaw.
Miss Farrar to Give "
Talk in Greenville
Under a stuffy cloud of tobacco
smoke a crowd of tense-faced students
and townspeople watched and waited
in the Smoke.'Shop all night long as
Dean Paulsen sat up on an elevated
perch and read" the bulletins through
a .megaphone. In Sutton's another
crowd sat in ; silent deference to ! the
radio announcer.'' . - '
During the early part bf the night
the crowd cheered announcements fav
oring Smith. This soon died away,
however, and 'by midnight not so
much as one soft Southern voice was
raised in approval or protest. It be
came3 a .grim r silent watch with the
watcher's favorite a dying . man.
As the reports more and more
omniously favored Hoover the group
of watchers dwindled. At 1:30 the
announcer stated that if Hoover car
ried all states in which he was ahead
he would have a landslide. Upon
hearing this many weary ones arose
and went home. Democratic hopes
went down and down as the hour of
dawn drewAnear. The Old North
State was going Republican, Ken
tucky and Tennessee, and the Old
Dominion. .
Before day everyone realized the
cruel truth expressed by a disgusted
watcher as he stumbled out of the
door, "Well, boys, the Solid South
has gone to Hell!" y

Decision Over British Women

Monday tight in Memorial Hall, a
crowd of about nine hundred witnessed
one of the most interesting debates
staged at the University within recent
years. The University team com
posed of J. C. Williams, E. H. Whit
ley, and R. M. Albright defeated the
British team composed of Miss Mar
gery Sharp, Miss Nancy Samuel, and
Miss Leonora Lockhart. The .Oxford
system -of judging was usedy Before
the debate' the vote was 149' to 113
in fav)r of the affirmative. A vote
taken after the contest showed 103
to 133 in favor of the negative. The
British team upheld "the affirmative
side-of the query; the Tar Heel team
the negative. ; - y
The Britishers were witty and pos-.
sessed a kind of dignified' ease which
is seldom possessed by American de
baters. They based their arguments
on conclusions arising from the dif
ferences in masculine and feminine
desires. The British women were of
the opinion that men and women need
a different sort of education, because
they are interested in different fields
of activity. . y
The University team based their
contentions largely on, the social ad
vantages from a mingling of the
sexes in co-educational colleges.
The Tar Heel -aggregation empha
sized the contention that co-educa-

Senators Table Resolution Fav

y :y--: . .,y-y "'.;' ;yv
The meeting of the Dialectic -Sen
ate Tuesday night was the shortest
regular meeting held thus far this
quarter. This can be explained by
the fact that several members of the
senate are deeply interested in poli
tics. y y ' r'-" y-yy-y-y
Senator Gilreath galled a meeting
of the Constitutional Committee for
next Tuesday fnij;ht. The project un
der' consideration is that of re-draft-ing
the constitution - - - -
At the suggestion of Senator Alex
ander the senate voted to-table:, in
definitely the resolution that the Dia
lectiv Senate go on record as, favoring-
an . immediate completion of the
Graham" Memorial, i
" . Several members - of the senate
urged that, new men take an active
part in discussions. It was recom
mended that some bills dealing with
the Freshman class . be : introduced
from time to time. -New men were
urged to lay aside all timidity- and
enter whole-heartedly; into the dis
cussions. In this connection Sena
tor Alexander suggested that the Di
have a ; bulletin board on which to
post bills to be- discussed at future
meetings.
The major portion, however, of the
discussions was centered around
Senator Studdert's resolution that
all Freshmen be required to join the
Cheerios. in defense of his resolu
tion the senator . declared that in all
kinds of organizations there is re
spect for seniority. "I am not in fa
vor of hazing, but I do think that
Freshmen should be required to per
form this function," asserted the
speaker. :
Senator Dungan, in maintaining
that Freshmen should not be com
pelled to join the Cheerios, asserted
that Freshmen already consider
membership in this organization - an
honor. He urged .that this phase of
the proposition be stressed.
"Freshmen don't wear caps,
they don't respect upperclassmen,
and they don't even look like Fresh
men any more," Senator Alexander
said in connection with an attempt
to convince .his audience that certain
things 1 shoulcT be required of Fresh
men. -- ' ; ; " ): y,y . . y- .- ;
. Various members r of the senate
maintained, however, that compulsory
membership in the Cheerios would
lessen the efficiency of that organi
zation, because people always do a
poor grade of work when they are
compelled to work.
In the absence of Senator Fox,
Senator Henry" Brown presided.
Immediately after adjournment a
representative of the senate wired an
expression off grief to Senator Fox
whose mother has passed away.

Chapel Hill and the University cam-
pus are returning to normalcy this
morning after two days of election tu
mult. Never before has so much in
terest been displayed in state or na
tional politics in the village, and an
unprecedented , number of election
bets, freak and financial, were made.
Faculty members and townspeople
with infant offspring would do well
to safeguard all gocarts and peram
bulators under lock and chain, since
several students must wheel vehicles
of that description to Durham as a
result of Hoover carrying North Car
olina. Local soda fountains will be
Jiquid election bets are settled, and
of their stock as an aftermath of the
political fracas.
Reports indicate that Orange coun- r
ty has gone Republican, as far as the
national election is concerned, for the

County and state Democratic candi
dates seemed to have a safe margin
over their opponents, however. ' y -"General
surprise and dissatisf action
was expressed on the campus- over
the unexpected Hoover landslide.
Smith was the campus favorite by a
large majority in the two or three
straw votes held here during the' past
several ' months. Democratic adher
ents gleaned some consolation out of
the fact that O. Max Gardner received
a good margin over Republican Sea
well in the. race for governor.
" Taylor Bledsoe, president of the
North Carolina Smith College League,
received many jocular condolences.
over the fact that his- home county,
Buncombe, returned a majority for
Hoover. He bore up under his burden
in splendid fashion, however, and
even when reports continued to come
in of a Republican landslide he did
not entirely -give way. to, his. grief.
Student Republicans, although m
the minority, celebrated vociferously
all "yesterday. The political , under
dogs here since the campaign began,
they are having their day now in no
unmistakable fashion. Their chief
delights seems to be derived from
taunting their Democratic . class
mates. Twq, fistic encounters and
several near-battle resulted yester
day when Democratic students re
belled under the sting of their taunts.
About thirty students kept vigil with
Dean Paulsen in the Smoke Shop all
night Tuesday as the returns con
tinued to come in. Radio returns were
received at several stationery and
drug establishments in the village.
