Mr. Kendall pointed out that equilibrium between supply and demand must be reached. "It is shattered," he said, "by the chronic overproduction which has burdened the industry, but can be restored and; maintained by planning and cooperation. "The recent voluntary agree ment of mills to limit hours of work to 55 weekly on the day shift and 50 on the night shift is a step in . the right direction.

Episcopal Students Asked To Contribute Over 30,000 college students in the United States are mem bers of the Episcopal church. This Lent, for the third time, they are raising a special stu dent Lenten offering.

FIRST MEETING APRIL 23 Duke, State, and Carolina Will Be Joint Hosts Here to Other Institutions. Under the particular guidance of a group of three prominent campus leaders, a movement is underway here for the organi zation of a North Carolina fed eration of college students at an early date, tentatively set for April 28. As yet no definUe of ficial action has been taken in this or any other institution of the state, but recent statements from the presidents of the stu dent bodies of Duke. University and State College indicate that these schools are willing to en dorse and to inaugurate a fed eration, under the direction of President Ray Farris of the Carolina student body who has been the leader thus far. This matter and its relative campus issues were carefully considered . during an informal "bull session" Tuesday night in which President Farris, John A. Lang, one of the' original insti gators of the" federation effort, and "Red" Greene, president of the senior class, participated. President Farris, who has a sincere interest in the solution of numerous problems relating to student activities, is of the opinion that "the , whole idea is a' splendid one,' since it will afford an opportunity , to meet and discuss affairs which are common to all, and of which he believes there are an innumerable group. What is more, he is unusually concerned that the affects of the proposed organization shall be widespread enough to reach the average col lege student in every major school in the state. In this way it is hoped that much of the in tercollegiate animosity, which is usually felt most among the masses of students, will be re duced to a minimum. ' It was agreed, first of all, that letters be. sent to all the college presidents in the state to deter mine their sentiments on the subject, and to come to an agree ment upon the date for a con ference here. As has been stated, President Savage of the Duke students announced his pledge of support at a meeting of Duke and Carolina students last quarter. While, President Choplin of Duke stated here Monday night before the Y. M. C. A. cabinets that he too was interested in a student federa tion. Both of these officials have agreed to the tentative date of April 28. So it remains only to secure the approval and support of the other schools in order to assure a successful con vention. Since President Farris is at present involved with a number of pressing issues of local im portance, he has intrusted the issuance of invitations and the drawing up of preliminary plans to John Lang, as an unofficial but greatly interested repre sentative of the student body, and to "Red" Greene, who is a former student council member. During his administration as president of the Phi society Lang was active in the organization of the federation movement. Greene has said that he be Continued on last page) Yi il ! 1 1.
