government. The senator proposed
an immediate investigation of the

Dr. Booker is very much interested
in student activities at the University.
The senator was of the opinion that
no plan could be devised which would
do away with the corrupt deeds of
politicians.

student government. He was of the
opinion that the plan would call for a

of every member of the student body

very foolish.

PHI ASSEMBLY
HOLDS MEETING
Lengthy Discussion of the Aus
tralian Ballot and Capital
Punishment.
The Philanthropic Assembly, in
meeting Tuesday night, voted to go
on record as antagonistic to capital
punishment, and following a second
discussion, as in favor of the Australian-ballot.
-,.
N Representative Crumpler led' the af
firmative contingent in the debate:
Resolved: that the Phi Assembly go
on" record as favoring " capital puh-;
ishment. Hayes,, taking a negative
position was able, with the aid of
several colleagues, to sway the, bal
loting, defeating the resolution by one
vote. ,
In a succeeding discussion, Repre
sentative Lewis and Wallace dissented
with the assembly in its resolution in
favor of the Australian ballot. Con
tending that this system is of no
avail due to the ignorance of the
voters and shrewdness of politicians,
they endeavored to uphold their views
against the majority.
It was decided to act in accord with
the Di Senate and postpone the Mary
D. Wright debate till after the In
tercollegiates. A representative from the Di issued
four invitations to the highest officer?
of the Assembly for the Di dance to
be held in the near future.
Boy Scout Executive
Seminar to Meet Here
Varied "Program Arranged by Dr.
Meyer, Chief of Bureau of
. Recreation.
r The Forensic Council of the j
University of Virginia has made
the proposition to the Debate
Council of the University of
North Carolina that the Tar Heels
and Cavaliers stage a radio de
bate at Richmond, Virginia about
the first of April. Although the
matter cannot be definitely set- ;
tied until it has been taken up
at the next meeting of the De- '
bate Council, it is very probable
that the contest will be held if a
suitable question can be decided
: upon by the two institutions.
Last year the Carolina-Virginia
debate was held at Chapel Hill.
, In ; consideration of this, the De
bate Council has been making ar
rangements for a return debate at
Charlottesville, Virginia. It is
very probable, however, that the
Debate Council will decide to ac
cept Virginia's offer to meet the
, Carolina team at Richmond and
there stage a radio debate.

Wednesday, February 27, E. H. So
thern, internationally known actor-
manager, will come to Chapel Hill to
deliver a series of readings and a
lecture on the Student E entertainment
Committee seasonal program. After
more than forty years behind the foot
lights the veteran actor retired from
the acting stage because of the illness
of his wife and fellow-player Miss
Julia Marlowe.
Sothern's life has been an extremely
interesting one. When but a very
young man, he achieved the name of
the leading light-comedian of his day.
He essayed a Shakespearean role, that
of Hamlet, some twenty years ago
and together with his wife, Miss Mar
lowe, became the premier Shakespear
ean actor on the American stage. ,
.With the sudden illness of his wife,
Sothern turned to modern plays as
vehicles for his dramatic art; but
after playing three seasons in various
productions, only one of which, Henri
Brieux "Accused," he liked, he deter
mined this season to forsake the act
ing stage for good. !
In the dramatic recitals that "The
Grand Old Man of the Theatre" is
prepared to deliver is one on noted
players from the time of Shakespeare
to the present including Richard
Burbage, Betterton, Siddons, Gar
rick, Macready, Kean, Forrest, Booth,
Charlotte Cushman, Henry Irving, El
len Terry and Julia Marlowe.
On the present tour Mr. Sothern
will bring with him the following six
readings: scenes with Ophelia and the
Queen from "Hamlet," the third act
from "Othello," several scenes from
"Lord Dundreary," the murder scene
from "Macbeth," and several scenes
from "If I Were King." ,
All season tickets will admit their
bearers to the attraction, and single
admission seats will be placed on sale
within a short time at one dollar each.
The program will begin at 8:30 and
continue for approximately 2 hours.
Bill To Halt Influx
Foreign Law Students
Gets Favorable Report
The bill introduced by Senator
Clark, of Mecklenburg, to stem the
tide of District of Columbia law stu
dents taking the North Carolina , bar
exam Tuesday received a unanimous
ly favorable report from the Senate
Committee on Judiciary No. 1.
According to the provisions of the
bill, only those students who are na
tive North Carolinians or those, who
haye attended a North Carolina law
school may take the State bar exam.
Others who consider the semi-annual
influx of law students from the Dis
trict a reflection on the State, believe
that the remedy lies in making the
examination more difficult and less
attractive to those unable to pass the
District examination but believe they
can pass that given in this State.

SOCIAL SERVICE
COMMITTEES T O
MAKE REPORTS
Twelve Committees To Make Re
ports after Much Study
of Problems.
One of the most important features
of the annual meeting of the North
Carolina Conference for Social Ser
vice in Raleigh on February 26, 27,
and 28, in the opinion of Prof. Frank
P. Graham, president will be the re
ports of 12 committees comprisinga
membership of 100 members who
have been actively engaged during
the last twelve months in studying
problems that most vitally affect the
social welfare of the people of the
State. ' .
4These committees," Professor Gra
ham said today in discussing-plans
for the Conference, "have not held
perfunctory meetings and written
perfunctory letters and then forgot
ten about the fact that they were
members of the committee until the
next meeting was called; they have
met regularly and enthusiastically
and they have delved deep into many
of the problems that the Conference
must face at this meeting. Their re
ports have been carefully considered
and they will present recommenda
tions that should provoke lively dis
cussions and, in some instances, def
inite conclusions."
There is a Committee on Industry,
with Dr. Dudley D. Carroll as chair
man; a Committee on The Child with
Mrs. W. B. Waddill, phairman, a Com
mittee in Education with Dr. Edgar
W. Knight chairman, a Committee on
Crime and Law Enforcement with A.
W. McAllister chairman, a Committee
on Public Health with Dr. Thurman
D. Kitchen chairman, a Committee on
The Negro with Dr. W. C. Jackson
chairman, a Committee on Recreation
with W. A. Parker chairman, a Com
mittee on Making the State More
Beautiful with W. T. Polk chairman,
a Committee on Conservation with
Col. Joseph Hyde Pratt chairman, a
Committee on Libraries with Colonel
Hobgood chairman, a Committee on
Rural Life with Dr. Carl Taylor chair
man, and a Legislative Committee.
"North Carolina is . now facing
problems which need careful study,
enlightened public opinion and ef
fective, action," Professor Graham
said. "The citizens of the State are
just awakening to the fact that it
is the business of a democracy to con
sider the social welfare of its people.
The opportunity of the Conference
lies in just this awakening."
Geology Department
Prepares for Tour
For the past several years the De
partment! of Geology in the Univer
sity has been sponsoring a series of
summer tours in the interests of
Geological advancement. Dr. Gerald
R. MacCarthy, Professor of Geology,
is directing the tours as usual.,- Any
one who is interested in taking the
tour should get in touch; with him at
S10 New East building.
The trip costs each student approx
imately one hundred and fifty dol
lars. The trip counts two full courses
credit in Geology.
This year Dr. MacCarthy plans to
tour New York and probably two
other northern states.
DR. POE TELLS
OFSTATE NEEDS
IN AGRICULTURE
Says Addition of Animal Produc
tion to Plant Production
Is Needed.
Addition of animal production to
plant production , is the adjustment
needed by North Carolina agriculture,
according to Dr. Clarence Poe, editor
of the The Progressive Farmer and
one of the leaders in the field of agri
cultural journalism in the country.
Dr. Poe spoke here Monday night
before the North Carolina Club of the
University. Introduced by Dr. Paul
W. Wager as perhaps the best quali
fied man in the state to analize agri
cultural needs in North Carolina, in
line;with the study of North Carolina
rural life which the Club is making
this year. Dr. Poe drew the largest
attendance the Club has had at any
meeting this year considerably over
70 interested hearers.
"We have had a one-armed system
of agriculture and we have got to de
velope a two-armed system," Dr. Poe
declared. "There are two kinds of
production plant and animal. Folks
in North Carolina think only of
plant production. North Carolina last
year was eighth among the states in
plant production, and 29th in animal
production, averaging hogs, cattle and
sheep together.
"North Carolina people talk of di
versification, which means to them an
increase in crops, from one to two if
they produce only one crop, or from
two to three, and so on. There can
be no diversification until you have
both plant and animal production."
Plant production, he pointed out,
means profit on one thing, animal
production means profit on plants,
animals, and enrichment of soil.
He analized the situation with res
pect to cost increase. The average
price of grain, fruit and cotton is 23
per cent above pre-war , prices, that
of meat animals, dairy products and
poultry 62 per cent above, and cost
of living is up 57 per cent. " . .,
America May Become
A Godless Country
Weatherford Declares That People
Are Too Busy for Religion.
"In the future America may become
a Godless nation because we are too
rushed," stated Mr. W. D. Weather
ford in a chapel talk Tuesday morn
ing. "This may come about not be
cause we don't believe in religion, but
because everyone is too busy for it.
Little by little religion is being driven
back by the minor things of life."
In his talk which was an explana
tion of the conference grounds of the
Y. M. C. A. at Blue Ridge near Ashe
ville, Mr. Weatherford said that these
conferences which are held every sum
mer by young college men and wo
men are based on three things: the
dignity of labor, the value of the in
dividual, and the value of religion.
It was in explanation of this last point
that he made the first statement.
"If you come to Blue Ridge," said
Mr. Weatherford in conclusion, f "I
promise you four things: the best time
of your life, a little freedom from the
rush of modern life, a new idea of the
value of religion, and contact with
some of the great characters of the
present day, and when one can get all
this in one summer he has done pret
ty welL"
