So far the-total l chapt!r .nt" opposing , the practice of rough initiations has reached twenty seven.. Five are still for "Hell Week," while three are uncer tain. Replies received number thirtv-five with twenty more v - houses as yet unheard from. Two of the five latest reveal that informal initiations are held entirely within the frater- nitv house. In the other three groups, the informal is held out side as well as within the house. Paddling is practiced by four of the five chapters and three send their pledges on errands outside the collesre campus.

Hobbs, Jr., of the rural-social economics departs ment nas j ust completed a so cial and economic survey of the state of Mississippi. He began' the job last September 1, and has had the assistance of several trained investigators here and in that state. ... ' That the people of Mississippi are very much pleased with the Hobbs survey is evidenced in resolutions adopted by the Cen tral State Committee on Devel opment and Progress, the body that employed Dr. Hobbs. The secretary of that committee, Mrs. R. S. Ralston, has just for warded Dr. E. C. Branson a copy of the resolutions, which read, in part: . Dr. Hobbs has, in the scant time and with the limited funds allotted, made a social and eco nomic study of the state which ! is comprehensive, profound and accurate. Throughout the con duct of the survey he has not limited his activities to the exact topic outlined in the committee's agreement, but has added studies of . such other problems and sit uations which in his judgment and -experience' wTere -necessary to make a complete reports He has , given the closest personal supervision to every phase of the survey, accepting only such statements and reports as are based on the most reliable data available. "Dr. Hobbs is equipped with a keen intellect, a profound knowledge of .social, economic and governmental sciences, and a personality which has won for him the confidence and respect of all the people with whom he has come into contact in this state. His intelligent compre hension and grasp of the prob lems confronting Mississippi has given to his work among us a far more vital significance than that attached to a mere compila tion of facts. . "His report, when printed and placed in the hands of all thoughtful and ' patriotic citi zens of this state, gives a basis for a program which, if followed up, will put jnto effect remedial legislation, governmental , re forms, administrative economies and educational progress that will make Mississippi a leader among southern states.

The second lecture, "From Electrons to Galaxies," will be given this evening at 8 :30 in Gerrard Hall. In the lecture Dr. Shapley re ported on recent studies on star clusters and nebulae which have been made at. the Harvard Col lege Observatory, and offered an interpretation of the observa tions that have been made. . He stated that according to a very new theory known as tl?e super-galaxy nypotnesis, our universe is not an extraordinary system but is rather a part of an ordinary system and that in stead of being a part of a small galaxy it is part ot a super- galaxy which is made up of a series of galaxies and spiral nebulae. Dr. Shapley explained a new method used in determining the distance to the stars and showed how by this method it is pos sible to measure the distance to galaxies so far away as 170 mil lion light years. ' , Dr. - Shapley . presented - his subject in a very clear mariner which was understandable to that part of his audience which he classified as "those profes sors who don't know so much about the subject." Instead of being extremely technical in his explanation he went to the other extreme and used such homely comparisons as likening our universe to a cookie. This evening Dr. Shapley will speak on "From Electrons to Galaxies" when he will attempt to show how the order that ex ists between the many stellar bodies extends down to the most minute constituents of ordinary bodies. Last night after the lecture a smoker was held at the home of Dr. W. C. Coker . at ' which those attending the lecture were given an opportunity to meet the speaker.

Bayroff who discusses the re cently published work of G. E. Coghill in "Anatomy and the Problem of Behavior." Both papers will discussed at length by the members of the fraternity and many suggestions forwarded as to future experi mentation which should be done on each problem in the near fu- ture. NUMBER ICS et ter ed Rea erge National Sales Counselor Speaks At Institute for Real Es tate Men. FIRST OF KIND IN SOUTH Optimism Predominant Note of Convention Meeting Here Wednesday and Thursday. Conditions for selling real es tate are more favorable as a consequence of the recent stock crash, stated John Berge, sales counselor of the National Asso ciation of Real Estate Boards, who addressed the North Caro lina Real Estate Institute at its second day's session at the Uni versity yesterday. The institute, the first of its kind in this state, was held under the auspices of the North Carolina Association of Real Estate Boards and the extension division of the University, with the national Association of Real Estate Boards cooperating. "Wall Street will continue to attract money, but the invest ing public will turn back to real estate again as one of the tested places to put some of its money," Mr. Berge declared. "The 1930 investor will remember the les son taught by-the recent debacle, and when he starts looking around for diversified invest ments, he cannot help consider ing real estate," he said. Optimism seemed to be the keynote of the institute. . Mr. Berge was confident that the real estate business was in for a sea son of increased activity. "But," he added, "the 1930 investor is oninfr tn hp mnrfl rarpfnl tn in- O ' vestigate more fully before buy ing. This tendency should in crease sales because of the soundness, of real estate invest ments. "To the realtor who is 100 per cent sold on his product who believes in real estate and who knows what real estate will do for the man who owns it, this new tendency will help to make more sales." The realtors , in attendance were well pleased with the re sults of the institute, and voted to hold a similar one at the Uni versity next winter. The R. E. Dillard gold cup, awarded to the city having the largest attendance, went to the Wilmngton group. Mr. Ellis, with a host of il lustrations, scenes, maps, charts and graphs, spoke on he. best method of showing the property to the prospect. The most im portant thing, he pointed out, was to keep '.. the . prospective buyer, in a "receptive state of mind.' It was , ; not advisable, Mr. Ellis stated, to point out the unattractive features of the plot or building or to name the price until the "psychological , mo ment" that is, until the pros pect showed that he was inter ested or asked the price of his own accord.
