Student Council Reinstates Six Suspended Students of Sigma Upsilon After Investigation -8 Chapel Hill's City Manager v de clared war on unmuzzled canines a few days past. Little dogs went scurrying around loaded down with muzzles almost as big as themselves. There was still a chance, though, that a beloved canine might by some hook or crook appear publicly with out the proper muzzling, . "Sinner" Venable, prize possession of Dr. Francis P. Venable, former president of the University, (Chapel Hill has a custom of giving dogs the last names of their masters), was the first to get the formal introduction to the police, lest unmuzzled appear ance might lead to hasty execution without the master's being informed. And now all the dog-owners are hastening to introduce their prized pets. "Spot" Chase, pride of the Uni versity president, and "Jerry" Law rence, of Rector A. S. Lawrences household, have been the latest. Frederick H. Koch, director of the roiino Piawnakers. was asked if vaivuuM " ' ' he wasn't going to introduce his be loved "Dixie", well-known mascot of the Playmakers; but Professor Koch with an air of grandeur insisted that "Dixie" was well enough known al ready. ' - ' ' The police are co-operating, in forming owners of unmuzzled cap tures wherever owners are known; and these formal introductions promise to save Chapel Hill's canine aristocracy. Commerce Fraternity Meets With Kiwanis On Tuesday evening, May 14, the members of Delta Sigma Pi held a joint luncheon with the local Ki wanis Club at the Presbyterian church. Rev. Eugene-Olive acted as toastmaster, while Professor M. S. Heath, faculty member of the fra ternity, was the chief speaker of the evening. The budget at the University of M;ocrtf a Tms been cat from :$3,680,0Q0 to $3,225,000. "Only through an upholding of our ideals will we be able to meet the problems that will arise from the pow er age that is coming in to take the place of the past ages of pioneering and industry," said Mr. R. B. House in a chapel talk Tuesday morning. "The two past ages each brought their problems that have been met, and the new age promises to bring even greater problems that must be solved." . Mr. House spoke as the third of the series of - faculty members who are making short talks, in chapel on the general theme of "Understanding Contemporary North Carolina His tory." The speaker raised the question of whether the American .People now believe in democracy as much as they once did. "There is a certain class that will state that there are entirely too many men in the colleges and universities," said Mr. House. "During the pioneer period the people had the ideal of a democracy which would realize the value of the indi vidual and provide for. the govern ment of everyone. As our country becomes more like Europe the ques tion of whether the people will con tinue to believe in democracy or not arises. - ' "For 300 years there was a joyous exploitation of the natural resources of the country, but about 1890 the frontier disappeared, all the land was taken, and the custom of moving fur ther from civilization if one was dis pleased with his neighbors passed away. , l Then came the period of in dustrial progress that has created a social problem in the conditions of both the employer and the employee. The employer is bound by a set of conditions that he cannot change and the employee is in a position where it is impossible for him to help himself and where it 'is difficult for others to help him.'.' "We are now on the verge of the power age that will bring even great er changes to the three great necessi ties of life: agriculture, industry, and transportation." In considering the modern news paper, Mr. House said that he reads a great deal, but that he is unable to separate the good from the bad. However, he stated that he puts in one classification which he calls pros perity ballyhoo. "There is a vast amount of publicity now on the era of so-called prosperity, but we should make some inquiry before we accept the conclusions of those writing this material. While everyone is said to nave plenty of money, there is a clash in the field of taxes, and the farmers as a class are not making any money." "It is going to take our best spirit and intelligence to solve these prob lems," stated Mr. House, "and I think we are perfectly capable to meet the conditions today." GRADS OF '04 MARE BIG PLANS The University of North Carolina class of 1904, one of the fourteen classes to hold reunions at the Uni versity commencement exercises June 7-10, has recently served official notice ihat it will be outdone by no body, not even the class of '79.

Remaining Twelve Cases Still Being Considered by Council When Adjournment Is Taken Last Night. With the re-instatement of six men and lengthy consideration of the re maining twelve the Student Council adjourned last night at twelve after more than five hours of consideration of the Yellow Journal case. More definite action in regard to the twelve men still under suspension is expected after the meeting of the Council today. The investigation into the activi ties of Sigma Upsilon, National Lit erary Fraternity, followed the publi cation and sale of the Yellow Journal at the Virginia game here Friday. Last year the fraternity was notified that the publication of indecent, un signed articles in the paper would in voke investigation. Friday afternoon sale of the Journal was made at the baseball game. Almost immediately following the game the faculty members of the fraternity resigned and published a letter in a state paper stating their reasons for resigning and asking in vestigation of the activities of Sigma Upsilon by the National Council. The Student Council began investigation and Monday it became known on the campus that nineteen students had been suspended. President Ray Farris appeared in chapel Monday morning explaining the action of the Council. Monday night six of the suspended students were re-instated and further consid eration of the other cases was taken up last night.

Phi Wants Suppression of This 1 Year's Edition But Not for Future. Delta Sigm'a Phis Entertain Girls In keeping with the social activi ties of the past week-end, the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity entertained a number of girls at their annual house party last Friday, Saturday, and Sun da v. Several dances were given by the local chapter and the Duke chap ter of the fraternity during that time The local chapter and the visiting girls were the guests at a Bowery Eall given in honor of the district convention by the Duke chapter in Durham on Friday night, and at. a tea dance at the Forest Hills Country Club on Saturday evening. Tuesday night the Dialectic Sen ate held what might well be adjudged the most colorful meeting of the quar ter. Before any resolutions were dis cussed the senate at the suggestion of President Norwood settled several business matters. H. N. Patterson, of High Point, was elected to the position of Treasurer for next year. . Patterson succeeds Garland McPherson also of High Point. The executive" session of the Sen ate was set for Tuesday night, May 21". At this meeting the following of ficers will be elected to serve during the Fall Quarter of next year: presi dent, president-pro-tem, clerk, ser-geantjat-arms, and critic. By virtue of the fact that the office of treasurer is a yearly office Patterson will serve in that capacity all of next year. The Senate launched forth into a discussion of "Resolved, That the president of the Dialectic Senate be chosen from classes higher in rank than the Junior Class." The Mil was in direct opposition to a recent revision of the constitution. Senators Brown and Gilreath favored the reso- ution as read, while Senator Dungan represented the opposition. Ax vote of the senate declared the resolution passed. ' After having considered these mat ters the senate proceeded to the main issue of the evening: "Resolved: 1 That the Dialectic Senate go on rec ord as favoring the abolition of the Yellow Journal. 2 That the Dialec tic Senate go on record as favoring action demanding the withdrawal of the charter of Sigma Upsilon at the University, of North Carolina.". Af ter several heated discussions a vote was taken which passed the first phase of the resolution by an overwhelming majority but defeated the latter phase of the bill by a very substantial ma jority. The Senate, therefore,-voted to abolish the Yellow Journal but held that the Sigma Upsilon frater nity should continue oh the campus of the University. ROOMS OPEN The Business Office of the Univer sity wishes to announce that all rooms that have not been reserved to date are now open to anyone wishing to reserve them for the fall quarter. The most enjoyable place to spend the summer is just inside your income. The Phi Assembly met at its regu lar meeting last Tuesday night and discussed the proposition: Resolved: That the Phi Assembly go on record as favoring the complete censorship and suppression of the Yellow Jour nal. A wide range of arguments were presented on both sides; ranging all the way from the statement that the last issue of the Yellow Journal was the most vile, diabolical, and indecent bit of slander that has ever been per petuated on the honest and worthy citizens of Chapel Hill to the argu mens tnat tne I enow J ournal is a useful critic and that its suppression would be a suppression to the free dom of speech. Representative Lang declared the Yellow Journal has by a gradual pro cess been getting worse each year. He strongly upheld the action of the student council. j Representative Speight cited that the Yellow Journal will cause the stu dents to hold the faculty in contempt. Representative Carr agreed with the previous speaker that the last is sue should be suppressed but stated that that was no valid reason why the Journal should be suppressed. He pointed out the, good it had done on the campus during past years. When a man was in former years criticized through the Yellow Journal, it usual ly caused him to correct his past mis takes. ) Representative Hobgood favored non-suppression of the Journal. He advocated its encouragement. ' He agreed also that the last issue was unfit for publication, but the previous issues were sufficient for non-suppression. . In general the Phi Assembly favor ed the suppression of the last issue of the Yellow Journal, but were not in favor of the suppression of the Journal for all times. The vote show ed a slight majority against the bill Mebane To Take Exam The oral examination of Mr. Wil liam Marion Mebane for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy will be held in Room 202 Venable Hall tomorrow evening at 7:30. As this candidate for the degree has taken his major in chemistry and his minor in physics, all members of the graduate faculty in the division of Mathemetics and Sciences are invited to attend. Brockman Will Talk At Y Conference Mr. Fletcher S, Brockman will be one of the prominent speakers at the Blue Ridge Student Conference, June 14-24. As a world figure he brings an unusually wide outlook and keen understanding of international pro blems. Mr. Brockman became a stu dent secretary for the Southern Re gion for the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A. in 1891, and quickly rose to a place of leadership in that rapidly growing work. In 1908, he went to Nanking as one of the early group who planted the Y. M. C. A. in China. His seventeen years spent in the secretaryship in China truly pre sent an epoch both in the life of that ancient nation and of the missionary program of the Y. M. C, A. Other Carolina students who have planned to attend the conference since the last report are: Ray S. Farris, president of the student body, John W. Clinard, Jr., James' A. Hudson, John E. Miller, and T. E. Marshall, Jr. FROSH QUARTET SUCCESSFUL IN TOUROFSTATE Connolly, Lynch, Humphries, and Miller Compose Fresh man Y Quartet. Among the many groups of enter tainers from the student body of the University of North Carolina that have attracted state-wide attention and approval through their appear ance in many of the cities of this state, probably there are none that have been more active in the actual spreading of good will than the pres ent ' Freshman Friendship Council Quartet, conducted under the auspices of the University Y.
