Dr. John Booker's famous, or more properly notorious, reform crusade against the present form of . studen government at the . University , oi JNortn uaroima secured some more publicity Tuesday night when another joint session of the Di and Phi ap proved his plan by a close vote. The Di senators themselves voted the plan . down by a large majority, however. For which we tender them our hearti est congratulations. At last the Di men have redeemed themselves " by exhibiting "hoss sense," Although Dr. Booker's plan in cludes several praiseworthy ideas and his keen interest in undergraduate life is highly commendable, the plan as a whole is impractical. . ., The redeeming : feature of the Booker plan is that it would do away to some extent with the faculty execu tive committee. This committee, head ed at present by Dean D. D. Carroll of the Commerce School, has expelled sin the past six months about three times as many men for cheating as has the student council.. A faculty man has the option of bringing cheating charges against a student before the faculty executive committee or before the student council. Naturally the executive committee tries' far more cheating cases than does the council. Does student government really exist x J.-L-" -i . - - --e wnen most ox me major cases oi m- fractions of the honor system are tried before a faculty committee? , Until the regime of Dean Carroll was initiated last fall, the executive , committee was said to be as lenient as the'student council. Since the new executive committee went into office last fall it has shipped about twelve men for cheating; during the : same period the council has , expelled only three for this offense. Although Dr. Booker's plan is, we believe, doomed to failure if put into operationwe have no idea that it will be it lias accomplished a decided good . in stimulating interest in stu . dent government here. If this inter est may be brought, to bear upon the faculty executive committee situation and result in curtailing its authority, a long stride will have been taken to ward making the Carolina . student government worthy of its reputation as one of the best in the country. lithe faculty committee must con tinue its jurisdiction over cheating on the impression of it which they re ceive during this week.- , JOHN MEBANE A Favorite Son Returns Miss Smith looked extremely put out, to say the least.

Richard Halliburton, lecturer, -' on the Student Entertainment - Program. Memorial Hall, Mon- . day night. , '. - Halliburton got off to a fifteen min ute late . start in the telling of his Marathon race from the ancient battle field, nineteen miles from the market place of Athens, but he spoke with such enthusiasm and charm that everyone forgot the fact that he had commenced lafe. He finally ended the course of the race in a brilliant man ner. ? ' - Halliburton delineated how his fa ther had literally reared him on the stories of old Greek: mythology, and how he had fostered in him the burn ing desire to see and know the eeosrranhv of classical Greece. " He told of his , competing in cross-coun try races at Princeton, and his deci sion at that time to run the Mara thon. The most outstanding feature . of Halliburton's lectures is his unequalled ability as a raconteur, and his extra ordinary, use of sustained suspense. In addition to these qualities he pos sesses the faculty of , reducing the stately and the dignified to absurdi ties, and of injecting a certain amount of modesty into his stories, which whether or not we , accept it as sin cere, has the strange effect of reliev-1 ing us,. ,;, -'"" -As an ' example of this last, Halli burton told his large : audience Mon day night ; how he became literally filled with Greek spirits and the glad tidings of the salvation of Athens from the Persian Army, and rushed in upon a dinner party being tendered the King and Queen of Greece by Halliburton's traveling companion, to j exclaim, "Shivilization Has Been Shaved.? . : The second adventure which Halli burton related to his audience which can be described in no other terms than the' worn-out adjective, .en thralled, was the Id story of Troy, the discovery of Achilles on the is land of Cciras, and of his subsequent death, and the fall of the city; and the new story of the modern Rupert Brooke, greatest poet of the twenti eth century, who sailed to Greece during the World War as a member of a modern Argonaut sent to fight on the Grecian peninsula for Brit ish interests by the British govern ment. Halliburton1 visited Brooke's grave at the summit, of the beautiful Bassor Cliff on the island of Sciras. The story . of how Leander "put to sea for his. .Hero" and how scholars down through the ages had doubted the possibility of this extraordinary feat was the basis, for Halliburton's picture of his own attempt in 1927 which ended successfully even though humorously, and which was the sec ond successful swim recorded since the time of Leander, Lord Byron's trial in 1818 being the first success ine tact tnat nineteen AmencansNi one of them a newspaper reporter (for whom it seems Halliburton fosters no particular high regard worse , Juck to him) swam the Hellespont the fol lowing year after' his own success ful attempt, caused that gentle man to consider swimming the alligator and shark infested waters- of the Panama Canal. This picture of his daring the dangers of the tropic waters of the Panama was the very best of the four he drew. He spoke of having to pay thirty-six .cents to the government after the officials had weighed his tonnage, his Jength, girth and beam, of employing a sharp shooter, to guard him while he was making the trip, and of the valuable aid in warding off some hungry sharks, a pink parasol brought him on the last leg of his fifty mile swim. We particularly "liked his ; program "of no morals," no uplift, and no message." On the whole the lecture was entertaining, originally deliver ed, and was charmingly above a man, who is no 'doubt complacent , in his own smugness. : v Clara Bow's Latest ;V At Carolina Today One of the finest programs of mov ing pictures ever shown in Chapel Hill is being, presented during this week, according to Manager E, C. Smith of. the Carolina Theatre. , An unusually fine picture is booked for every day, each starring a screen per sonality well known and liked. ; Monday "Weary River" was shown, a picture which is playing' in New York at the present time at a $2 top. Tuesday, II. ,B. x Warner in "The Naughty Duchess," was shown, and CoUeen Moore in "Why Be Good" was billed yesterday. Clara Bow in "The Wild Party," her latest and hottest, will be presented today.

B. C. M. THe Campus By Joe Jones COMPULSORY CHAPEL -The question of whether attendance at chapel in colleges and universities should be compulsory is again up for discussion. In "the good old days" we hear about "at Chapel Hill students were required to be in - chapel for prayers at sunrise, or was it 7 o'clock? and there was no rigid inspection as to whether they wore collars or their ties were properly adjusted. Lately' the morning prayers at col lege have been held at a more civi lized' hour, some coming after break fast, and some at 11 o'clock so as to enable all ' to come without incon venience. The modern later hour is undoubtedly an improvement, and provides not only for; morning prayer and song, but for a coming together of all collegians once a day, some thing valuable as the attendance at colleges grows to -such numbers as to make acquaintanceship and fellow ship more difficult. Iri some colleges the modern spirit, or the backsliding spirit rather, has done away with the daily coming to gether for prayer and praise. Some colleges have tried the plan of mak ing - attendance optional with vary ing results. Yale tried it, and now is in the throes of what to do. Rev. Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin, of . the Yale Corporation, says that the optional religious service is "; a failure with such slender; attendance that there should be a return to the require ment of attendance. ;..'; y Professor. Weigle, dean of the Di vinity School, praised the spirit of devotion which is present in the pres ent optional attendance and said that the compulsory scheme did not make religious worship a natural expression of the life of the university. Prof. William Lyon Phelps'says he was heartily in accord with the views of Dr. Coffin, regarding compulsory chapel for its educational value. "But I do not believe that its re-establishment is possible," he added. The Yale News said on the subject: The falling off of the under graduate attendance has been the most obvious effect of the adop tion of voluntary attendance. In .place of an overflowing chapel there now remains only a handful of worshipers in Battell Chapel each day. But in contrast to the indifferent rebellious attitude there is now the devout and rev erent feeling which is for the best. Again, three years seem hardly a fair trial. , rLet us be removed from the day when the tendency to use chapel services for ulterior dis ciplinary measures reaches New Haven. Any attempt to keep undergraduates in New Haven f or a week-end should take its basis on something else than religion. -Raleigh News and Observer. 7 Henderson Talks About Einstein (Continued from page one) Pherson traced his life and dis coveries from the time when he was in charge of quarantine inspections at Yokohoma to the time of his death on the Gold Coast on May 21, 1928. Dr. Maquchi did research work of much importance in regard to syphilis, rabies, and yellow fever, and finally died from the last disease while try ing 'to determine whether the yellow fever of Africa was different from that of South America. When he was slowly dying . from the disease, Dr. Maquchi directed work in which his own blood Was injected into the blood of animals upon which he was working in an effort to solve the problem upon which he was working. ' "Hideyo Maquchi was, then, one of the scientific martyrs who are giving their lives that vsre may live without the pestilence represented by yellow fever," Mr. McPherson declared. y After the two papers , of the eve ning had been delivered, Dr. Prouty, Dr. George, and Dr. Stuhlman were appointed by the chair as a nominat ing cohimittee to draw up a list of nominees to be-voted on as officers of the society for the coming school year.

' : By MARY HUNTER For some time I have been wanting to try a shot with my, kodak at the Chapel Hill golf course. Thinking that the occasion of the "tournament" might be a good one for supplying a human foreground for such pictures, I went out Saturday afternoon about four o'clock when the contest should have had time to get along on its way. - v- . ' . - With no "clubs but a Brownie 2 A and a companion for support 4n case I got squeamish about crossing the "sacred precincts" without real cause I slowly and ' carefully circled the course, beginning at the westniost end, where I took one or two pic tures of some young man who was practicing among the thin trees there. 'Z '"-"'-"-- . : , Presently we (not editorially, but plurally speaking) came out, as it were by stealth, from the woods on the top of the hill to the south and approached some earnest looking, unsuspecting competitors; preparing to drive from that magnificent knoll on the far east. These dignified per sons" proved to be Dean Hibbard and a partner, Dr. Lawson, Mr. Little and Parson Moss, all bent upon the jgame. We risked a . negative on that group and then crossed the brow of the hill and sat down imagine it, at such a time in the shade of a convenient clump of small pines, to draw breath for further walking.' ; Pretty soon, however, we were startled from our covert by more eanest golfers emere-- mg from the foot of that terraced hill toward the pines. . He hurried into the open down the hill hoping to be out of the way. To our great embar rassment about the time we thought we were taking our skirted figures out of the way, Mr. Gwynn waved a deprecatory hand toward the south and shouted: r "Batter edge over .there. The man on top of the hill is going to shoot." ; My companion jumped. ; So did I mentally; for to us both, bred near the eastern coast, "shoot" inevitably means first of all a gun. We looked up far up and saw two more or less patient golfers obviously waiting for us to be gone. We went. But more trouble was just ahead. Frank Graham whom I did not rec ognize because of his flop hat cheerily shouted to know if we wanted to play golf. "No," I shouted, "ko dak.' He and his companion then climbed to yet another (to us till then) unobserved . vantage point and made it plain that they'1 too were waiting , to shoot. We looked des perately around but saw no escape. My companion (whom I would men tion by name had she not solemnly forbid me to do so) took to the woods -literally the woods in this case being a frinere of Dines on tne south east slop'e of the club house hill. To no avail did I storm at her to "get out of the path" of the prospective drive. I didn't know where it would be either, but I conjectured it would take the direction in which Mr. Gra ham was facing. It did and a 200 yard one at that; it dropped the ball about a foot from the forest refugee's head. She shrieked (and I confess, with shame, T laughed)". I was out side the pines, so I pointed dramatic ally toward the thicket to indicate the whereabouts of that -"lost ball." .'Stick up a stick" I heard a second shout from the driver. Thinking this was the least possible return we could make for having been i nuisance on the field, we complied. ' Then we went away, making haste to scramble up the rocky, -steep path which leads from the club house, hoping against-hope that ho one Would aim at us again until we got out of reach.- I know now how it feels to be under fire!- But it was a great adventure and I have the kodak, pictures not yet developed. I hope they will be good pictures and will not fail to show how serious a- dignified man can ok fol lowing a small ball aroun
