Psse Four THE DAILY TAR HEEL Thursday, October 31, 1929 Uotion 'To Outlaw' Bumming Defeated.' By Phi Assembly Despite the general tendency ward disturbance and up saval when the lights go out, le Phi assembly in its regular &2Ssion last Tuesday night re . tained perfect order after such an occurrence took place. Just as the vote was to be taken on a bill the lights, for some un known reason, suddenly went put, lea vi ng the hall in darkness. The motion was made for ad journment, biit the speaker re minded the house that for one hundred thirty-five years no meeting of the Phi assembly had beea seriously disturbed or dis continued. After this informa tion the pending motion was tabled until an accurate vote could be taken, and the next reso lution was read. ' The bill that was at that time before the house, later to be de feated, was: Resolved, That the meral Assembly of North Car na make bumming a misde eanor. Representative Hob od in introducing ths bill ex plained that the term "bum aing" had reference only to the .ollegiate custom of standing on the roadside and signaling the autoist for rides to distant towns. In defense of this meas x ure Representative Hobgood pointed out that the willingness on the part of the autoist to accommodate the traveler often resulted in a crowded car, there- by decreasing the efficiency on the part of the driver in bring ing his car safely through traf fic jams and other situations re quiring complete control of his machine. His second point was that the ease with which a free ride may be obtained leads to and promotes a fulfilment of the roaming desire so prevalent among college students. He further criticized bumming on the grounds that it creates a de sire and expectation of some thing for nothing. It was also held that the motorist is respon sible for the safety of the per sons taken in his auto. Several cases were cited in which insur ance companies and individuals were forced to recompense in juries sustained by the student while riding in the stranger's car. Attention Yas also called by Hobgood to the fact that others than college students had resorted to bumming as a means of defraying traveling expenses. In opposition to this bill, it as pointed out that the public ; under no obligation to accom odate the student with a ride, and that when one does so it is taken for granted that he either desires company or has no feel ing of detest for the person bumming. The second bill Resolved, That the Phi Assembly go on record as favoring subsidized athletics was likewise defeated. It suffered defeat on the grounds that subsidized athletics means professional football for all col leges, thereby greatly reducing the long established school spirit so readily shown at football games. A report from the committee appointed to confer with the Di Senate as to the time and query of the annual Mary D. Wright debate reported that the query vould be : Resolved That the Jmoot-Hawley jtariff revenue bill low pending before the present pecial session of the seventy Jrst congress should be passed.
