NOVEL PROGRAM
Newspaper Men Will Be Given
An Old -Fashioned Barbecue
Jubilee.
The Fifth Annual Newspaper In
stitute will open here tomorrow, with
a large attendance all over the state
expected. The opening session will
be held tomorrow night, with Con
gressman Albert Johnson, well-known
editor and publisher, and President
Harry W. Chase as the principal
speakers.
A novel entertainment program has
been planned, for the newspapermen.
The usual form of banqueting has
been discarded, and in its place an
old-fashioned barbecue jubilee will be
given at the Country Club. Members
of the committee in charge say that
they don't want anyone to get the
idea that this feature of the program
will be formal because of it being held
at the Country Club. It will be a very
informal party, they say, with tux
edos quite out of order.
Some fifty or sixty of the Univer
sity professors and their wives and
a few of the townspeople have been
invited to attend the jubilee to get ac
quainted with the newspaper folk.
After the barbecue f east the
scribes will go into session again, and
after about two hours of work they
will be offered a nightcap in the form
of a special showing -of -a feature pic
ture at the Carolina Theatre, through
the courtesy of Manager Carrington
Smith. ...
The sessions will continue through

New Ruling Adopted
) For Readmission of
University Students
Men Loaf During Regular Session;
Attend Summer School to Get 7
Off Work.
The faculty adopted the follow
ing regulation at its last meet
ing: j"The student who takes ad
vantage of summer school or
correspondence courses to make
himself , eligibly for readmission
to' the University must" have
passed sjx courses instead of the
present five, if he be a freshman,,
and eight courses instead of the
present seven, if he be a soph
omore, junior or senior." ...This
ruling goes into effect immediate
ly; all who re-enter school next
fall will abide by it.
Dean Hibbard stated in discuss
ing the regulation that many men
now are spending their time loaf
ing during the regular session,
then attending summer school in
order to gain ' admission to the"
University the following fall.
This is defeating the" purpose of,
the present ruling Wealthy men
can loaf and then attend school,
while the poor students are de
nied admittance in case they fail
their work during the regular
terms.
HOUSE SPEARS
ON GENERAL LEE
Services Were Conducted under
The Auspices of the
U. D. C.
"Let us stop for a moment in re
membrance of General Robert E.
Lee, and the Confederacy, not that
General Lee needs honoring, for he is
a great pinnacle. of human character
and we do ourselves a service by try
ing to enter into his character if for
only a moment," said Mr. R. B. House
in the opening of his address at a
chapel program in memory of General
Lee conducted yesterday under the
auspices of the local chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy.
"There are two general aspects
under which Lee may be considered,"
staled Mr. House, "That of the pro
fessional southerner in which Lee is
put on a pedestal as a hero and is con
sidered as a symbol of a' victory even
in defeat, i Then there is- the pro
fessional northern viewpoint which
Lee is held as a great commander and
leader. However, it lends honor to
the North to have defeated such a
great general as Lee is "considered.
"These' sectional views do not do
Lee justice, for he was more than a
sectional figure. He was a national
figure jUst as were Washington, Jef
ferson, and Madison. They counted
it an honor to serve their native state,
but they passed beyond the borders
of their own state. To us Lee symbo
lizes all the heartiness and gracious
ness of the old South.
"If we would honor Lee we must
turn to his traits of character, which
he tried to teach to the young men of
the south. His message is especially
to the young men and to the students,
and you should read his life and his
struggles to rebuild our American
nation."
At the opening of the meeting the
University band played a march and
also Dixie. The invocation was de-.
livered by Dr. A. S. Lawrence of the
Episcopal Church.

HAMILTON WILL
WRITE BOOR ON
SOUTHERN STATES
Work of Collecting and Gather
ing Material Is Well Under-
way; Excellent Nucleus for
1 Such Work Already in ,Uni
versity Library.
Marion Alexander, ' Business
Manager of the Tar Heel will speak
in chapel this morning, explaining the
four alternative plans for making the
Tar Heel a daily publication next
year. This is being done so that the
freshmen will understand the propo
sals that are to be voted upon in a stu
dent referendum to determine the
policy" that will be pursued in regard
to the Tar JeeZ next year. -
Dr. J. G. de R. Hamilton, head of
the department of government, is col
lecting and preserving books and
pamphlets dealing with the history
of the South in an attempt to write a
complete history of the southern
states. The history of the South is
very incomplete because Southerners
have been careless with -the records
and have shown no interest in preserv
ing them for future use.
There is already in the library an
excellent nucleus for such a collection.
This collection contains more than
4Cf,000 bound volumes and pamphlets
which concern the history of North
Carolina and its relations with Vir
ginia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and
Georgia. Supplementing this material
on its economic and social side, is the
library of the department of rural
social science, which was begun in
1913 and now includes 15,000 volumes.
There is also in the library a Kenan
collection of material dealing with the
Civil War. .
The Southern collection, as plan
ned, will include, so far as is possible
today, every book or pamphlet of "any
kind on any subject written in the
South or b a Southerner. The col
lection will include state publications,
general historical works; monographs,
biographies, town, county, and other
local histories, genealogical works, es
says, poetry, fiction, sermons, files
of periodicals, statistics, maps, broad
sides, the catalogues,- minutes, pro

Geology Department
Will Offer a Six
Weeks Summer Tour
Trip Is Open to Anyone Who Has
Had as Much as One Course
V In Geology.
Every summer the Department of
Geology in .the University of North
Carolina offers a field trip which lasts
approximately six weeks. ; The trip
is - always open to anyone who has
had as much a& one course in Geol
ogy and 'can give evidence that he
has passed the course. The trip
counts two full courses credit in
Geology.
This summer those who are to be
in charge of the trip plan to tour at
least two of the northern states of
the United States instead of limiting
it to the Southern states as has for
merly been the case. The northern
states which are under consideration
at present are New York and Penn
sylvania. Usually, there are about twelve who
take the trip. This number, however,
is not always drawn entirely from
the -University of North .Carolina.
Last year there was one student from
Tulane University who took the trip
and one from North Carolina State
College. v'
Total , expenses for the six weeks
will not exceed' one hundred and
twenty-five dollars according to Dr.
Gerald R. McCarthy who is in charge
of the proposed trip. Anyone" who
is interested in the matter should see
him at 307 New East.

Revision Committee '
Of Di Constitution to
Make Reports Tonight
New Men to Be Initiated; Smoker to
' Follow for AH Old and New Men.
Tonight the Dialectic Senate will
hold what probably will be the most
important meeting of the entire quar
ter. President Brown urges that all
members of the Senate be present.
For quite a while the constitution
committee has been at work on the
taskof revising the constitution in
order to make it a more up-to-date
document. Several parts which" had
become' obsolete have been cut out by
the committee and certain new rulings
have, been inserted which, in the
opinion of the committee, are in keep
ing with the present needs of the
Senate. Tonight the' revised, consti
tution will be presented to the senate
for approval. The function of the
constitution committee in this respect
is merely that of recommending
changes. Final authority in the mat
ter is vested in the members of the
senate. Their vote will determine
whether the changes recommended- by
the committee are to be incorporated
in the constitution. iTherefore, it is
very important that all members be
present. -
- After the regular program has
been completed several new men will
be initiated into the senate. The
meeting will then culminate" in a
smoker to which all old and new
members are invited.

Felix ' Von Luckner, German sea
raider, Salvation Army worker, bell
hbp, Hindu advertiser, navy officer,
champion boxer, and adventurer ex
traordinary held the interest of a

but the thundering . applause of the
audience told him to go on.
Von Luckner is in this country
now as a good will ambassador. He
is delivering a series of 184 lectures:
his tour will terminate in May. ' He
is anxious to bring about a better
understanding between this country
and America ; he hopes that much
good will come of his visit in interna
tional understanding.
The Count started his talkwith the
story of his wanderings. He left home
in Germany at the age of fourteen;
he wanted to ' get a ship to America
and see Buffalo Bill. But the ship on
which he got passage carried him to
Australia. There he worked in a
hotel. Later he joined the Salvation
Army as a private; he had promised
his father to become a lieutenant and
this was1 his -first chance to -become
a military officer, so he thought, as
he did not know what kind of an army
he was getting in. Later he became
a lighthouse helper, but when he be
gan to love the keeper's daughter,
he had to leave. He wandered up the
Western coast of Australia and there
joined some Hindu magicians.
Finally he got passage on an Ameri
can ship and three months later was
in San Francisco. He set out for
Denver to see Buffalo Bill ; there he
found that his hero was in Germany.
Then he set out for the eastern part
of the United States. ; It took him
five and a half months to get to New,
York. He became a dishwasher in a
free lunch room and later got a job in
a hotel in New York. There he saw
the great men of our country, and de
cided he wanted to become a self-made
man. V ; '

Will Be Put Before Student
Body for Vote on Thurs
day, February 7.
By an unanimous vote the
Student Activities Group ap
proved plans for a daily TarHeel
Sunday night and arranged to
submit them to a student body
vote Thursday, February 7.
Student fees will not be in
creased under any of the four
methods of financing the daily
recommended by the committee
which drew up the plan.
Under the plans adopted the stu
dents will vote for or against a daily
Tar Heel and then vote on four plans .
of financing in order of preference.
The four plans are: Combination of
the Carolina Magazine , into a bi
monthly literary supplement to the
daily Tar Heel; -abolition of the Buc
caneer y simplification of the-Yackety
Yack; and reapportionment of all stu
dent publications fees with utilization
of the surplus now in the Publications
Union treasury to meet a probable
deficit.
Under the proposed plan the Tar
Heel would be issued six days, a week,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday. It would
contain a much larger volume of cam
pus news and feature stories, ' a cut
or picture service that would bring to
the campus news from all the colleges
in the state and nation in pictorial
form, a thorough coverage of Chapel
Hill news, and a clip service that
would embrace the highlights of state
and national news. If the Magazine
were combined into) a supplement to
the Tar Heel an eight page magazine
section would appear every other Sunday..-
- -
Plans for a daily x Tar Heel have
been in formulation for i;he last two
years, and journalism and campus
authorities and student leaders be
lieve that the University has pro
gressed to the place where it is
ready for establishment of the stu
dent newspaper upon " a daily basis.
Every student leader on the campus
who has been interviewed relative to
the daily is heartily in sympathy with
the plan. . "
The plan originally presented to the
Activities Group provided for combin
ation of the Magazine 'into a literary
supplement to the Tar Heel. This
plan was approved by the group by
a twelve to ten vote over the strenu
ous objections of John Marshall, the
Magazine editor. Marshall .then
raised the objection that the Maga
zine element was not represented, on
the committee which drew up the
plan. At once the chairman of the
committee moved that the plan be
sent back to another committee on
which the magazine should be equally
represented. This motion was passed.
The committee which presented the
proposals Sunday night was com
posed of Glenn Holder, chairman,
Jerry Slade, Walter- Spearman, Joe
Mitchell, John Marshall, Marion
'Alexander, John Mebane and George
Ehrhart. The proposals were ap
proved by every member of the com
mittee. ' '
