.Robert W. and Francis D. Wins
ton, Who Raced for Honor of
Being First Student, to Lead
50-Year Class Back to Uni
versity at Commencement
Time.
When .the University re-opened its
doors after the Civil War in 1875,
two brothers staged a footrace over
Strowd Hill and into the little Uni
versity village for the honor of being
the first student on the "Hill". 'To
gether they began their course, and to
gether they finished, graduating in
1879, in the first four-year class after
the Civil War. ,
This next month, exactly' 50 years
after, these same brothers will lead
their class of fifty-year graduates
back to the University for a commen
cement reunion and get-together. And
what stories and reminiscences of the
"good old days" may be expected.
They are well known, these two
brothers. Francis Donnell Winston,
he who with his short legs but long
head, won the race, has been senator,
assemblyman, judge, lieutenant gover
nor. And Robert W., he who lost the
race, has been legislator, judge, publi
cist, and author.
Commencement, the ever old and
ever new, always promises its inter
est for the'meetings of the "old grads"
who come back to swap their yarns
and tell their stories of "other days."
But this year's commencement at the
University promises to be of excep
tional interest with these venerable
old 50-year graduates scheduled to re-
une again. '
There will also be reuning classes of
1, 10; and 25 years. Fourteen classes
are scheduled for reunions in all, and
a host of the old grads are expected
back for the annual festivities. A
General Albert L. Cox, of Raleigh,
is chairman of the Reunion Commit
tee, and the class secretaries and other
officers are working on elaborate
plans for the annual "Alumni Day,:
to come this year on June 8, second
day of the four-day exercises. .
Alumni Secretary Maryon Saunders
announced today the preliminary pro
gram arranged for Alumni Day. It
calls for a general get-together meet
ing at 10:30 o'clock, the annual alumni
luncheon at 1 o'clock,-a band concert
at 4:30 o'clock, class suppers from 6

Connally and Uzzell
In Freshman Debate
. . W. E. Uzzell and W. E; Connally
represented the Carolina Freshmen
in their debate with the Davidson
Freshmen in Gerrard Hall last night
before a very enthusiastic audience
of students and village folks. The
Tar Heel team upheld the negative
side of "Resolved, That the jury sys
tern should be abolished in civil
cases." The Davidson yearlings pre
sented the. case of the affirmative.
Upholding the affirmative side of
the same question Harry Gump and
Ben Aycock engaged the Wake For
est Freshmen at Wake Forest.
The winners had not been ascer
tained at the time the Tar Heel went
to press last night.
The Phi society decided to install
next year's -officers before the end of
the spring quarter. .
The meeting of the Phi Assembly
for May 7, 1929, was called to order
by Speaker Crumpler as usual. The
roll was called and the minutes of the
preceeding meeting were read and ap
proved. .
The bill: Resolved, that it is the
opinion of the Phi Society that our
state government pursued the right
methods, in settling the recent mill
strike disagreements in. North Caro
lina.; Splendid arguments were presented
by both sides. Representative Hob
good was of the opinion that the state
government used the right methods
in settling the recent strikes disagree
ments in N.-C. He argued that if
troops had not been sent, disorder
would, have been more prevalent.
Representative Wilkinson argued
that the. previous speaker was wrong
in his opinion because the sending of
troops was out of order. He declared
the worker's only weapon was the pre-?
vention -of other people's employment
during strikes and the sending of
troops prevented, the use of their only
weapon of defense. He stated; that
furthermore if -troops were going to
prevent the use of this one weapon in
time to come a pleasant class would
develop in N. C.
Representative Carr was of the
opinion that a strike should be settled
by the course it takes.
Representative Baldwin condemned
the state's sending troops to Gastonia
and the after actions of the troops on
the ground that the actions were un
called for. The mill class is emotional
and the troops only served to arouse
the mill workers' emotions.
Representative Taylor disagree
with the state's actions because North
Carolina has no minimum wage laws.
A motion was made and seconded
that a vote be taken. A deadlock oc
curred in the vote. Consequently it
was necessary for the speaker to cast
his vote. He decided in favor of the
negative, and it' was concluded that
the majority of the . opinions were
contrary to the state's action. ' ,
Before adjournment a committee
was appointed 'to revise the constitu
tion of the society at an early date.
City Elections Pass
Off in Quiet Manner
The Chapel Hill city elections passed
off rather quietly Wednesday inas
much as there were no contestants for
the offices. The voting was light,
only 102 votes being cast. -
" v Zeb Council was reelected mayor ;
CV L.-Eubanks, M. E. Hogan, and M.
G. Braune were elected to serve as
Aldermen for the -next four years.
Three aldermen are elected every two
years in order to maintain a consis
tent program of activities.
The bill providing a Recorders
court was passed by a vote of 93 to
8. This will make it possible for the
prompt settlement of minor offenses
which previously have had to be car
ried to Superior court, A Recorder
will be chosen some time in the near
future. V
Greensboro, May 8. Dr. Eugene
W. Gudger) 15 years a popular pro
fessor of biology at North Carolina
College for Women, and long a mem
ber and once president of the North
Carolina Academy of Science, will

.Dr. Gudgerrwho is starred on the

Sea Bass," which Dr. Gudger ha3
just discovered.

ville, received his Ph. D. degree at
Johns Hopkins in 1905 and was at
North Carolina College for Women
until 1915. He was secretary of the
Academy for ten years from 1908
1 and was president in 1919. He has

portant Salmon and Trout Associa

been several , outstanding men who
