LEGAL SYSTEMS
ARE DISCUSSED
BY LAW SCHOOL
Seminar in Administration
-Justice Meets for First
Time This Year.
of
In France a lawyer who lies
for his client is expelled from
the bar; in England if he doesn't
collect his fee before trial he can
not sue a delinquent client; andi
a French married woman may
not enter the profession with
out the consent of her husband-C
these and other equally foreign
customs of foreign countries
-x came to light, last Thursday at
10 :30 a.m., when the class in ad
ministration of justice in the law
school held, its first meeting to
discuss "Classes in the Legal
Profession." v
This class is conducted as a
seminar, the raculty members
participating With the students
in the discussion. This is the
second year the course has been
held for the discussion of present
day problems in judicial admini
stration. Types of specialization in
England were discussed by L.
J. Giles, Jr. and Allen L. Augs
. ton who explained the respective
spheres of the barristers . who
have no contact with the client
and may not solicit business
even from a solicitor, but who
may frequently charge "refresh-
ers
to stimulate their lagging
interest in a case, and the solici

their bills, listing even letters

How far the English system of
classes has been transplanted
throughout the empire was dis
cussed by x J. M. Wright, who
; said that in Canada the distinc
tion between barristers and soli
citors was merely nominal and
in the process of obliteration. In
Australia, according to Wright,
the bar is very thoroughly or
ganized and exceptor the fact
that barristers, after an em
ployment by a solicitor, may talk
with the client is similiar to that

"Who's Where."
The student directory of the
university for 1930-31 came off

charge, a copy to every dormi
tory room, every fraternity
house, every office on the cam
pus, every home in town, and
to every place of business. On
request a copy will also be fur
nished any- individual who may
need one for continued use. Yes
terday it was distributed over
the campus.
The University, Y. M. C. A.

tained at the "Y" off ice, correct
ed throughout the year. If any
errors or omissions are discover
ed they should be reported to
' the Y. M. C. A. office 'and the
correction supplied. When one is
unable to get the desired inf or

the master directory may be
consulted at the "Y"' office.
Three Hundred Enjoy
Phi Beta Phi Dance
The Gorgon's Head lodge was
the scene last night of one of
the most enjoyable dances of the
season when the Pi Beta Phi
sorority entertained at their
first dance of the year. The
large ballroom was artistically
decorated with xorn stalks and
pumpkins which lent much at
mosphere to the occasion and
carried out the spirit of fall and
Hallowe'en. The Carolina Buc
caneers directed by Ty Sawyer
furnished music for the event
which was enjoyed "by nearly
three hundred invited guests in
addition to a large number of
returning alumnae and out-of-town
visitors present.
The chaperones for the occa
sion were: Dr. and Mrs. W. E.
Caldwell, Mrs. M. H. Stacy, Mrs.
Irene F. Lee, Mrs. Ike Manning,
Mrs. Charles Woollen, Mrs.
Maryon Saunders, Mrs. Abbie
Harding, and Mrs. Gene Rose.
DEAN GIVES SAGE
ADVICETO FROSH
Student's Chief Concern Is To
" Be Crusader for Right, Dr.
Hobbs Asserts.
Dean A. W. Hobbs of the lib
eral arts school spoke to the
j freshmen at chapel in regard to
the advantages that should be
derived from college.
The chief concern of a stu
dent, he stated, is in nature and
in preparing himself, to be a stu
dent crusader for the right.
Maturity of thought and a man
like behavior is especially desir
able for perfection.
he dean said that he thought
the only remedy for the depres
sion of today , is the growth of
the desire for proper training
and preparation now on the part
of the statesmen and business
men of tomorrow. Regardless
of the dogmas that each may
hold nTa religious way, he stat
ed that the basic principle back
of all religion is the welfare and
betterment of the human race,
a factor which never has been
carried v over to any extent into
the conduct of government. The
principle that has been worked
on is a continual tearing down
for the benefit of the present
age. The future must be taken
into consideration before an eco
nomic perfectness can be estab
lished. His final advice to the first
year men was to caution them
against vanity and the slip into
mediocrity. He told them to
work and make their education
really count for something in af
ter life. -

Various Aspects Of Southern :
Life Cited Before Conference
Various aspects of social and
economic-changes in the South
were cited here yesterday in
papers presented before the
third "annual Southern Confer
ence on Education now in ses
sion at the University.
Based on several years of re
search, the papers were present
ed by members of the staff of
the University Institute for re
search in social science. Their
reports occupied the major por
tion of the second day's program.
The Conference, which opened
Thursday night, witHan address
by President Robert M. Hutchins
of the University of Chicago, is
being attended by leading educa
tors from all sections of the
South.- " . . "
Dr. E. C. Branson, of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, pre
sided over the opening session
yesterday.
A report of "Human Aspects
of the Georgraphy of the Ameri
can South" was made by Dr.
Lee M. Brooks of the University,
who read a paper prepared by
Dr. Rupert' Vance, of the Uni
versity, who was unable to be
present on account of illness.
Dividing the South into six
distinct regions Dr. Vance's
paper referred to them as "var
iously emerging from different
stages of frontier, and decad
ent 'economy, facing various
phases of advancing industrial
ism." V ' " "
It was pointed out that "the
Cotton "Belt, strong hold of the
South, and the Piney Woods with
turpentine and timber stands
transformed into unwanted cut
over lands remain the South's
two problematic zones. Indus
trial superstructures in the
Southwest based on gas and oil
and in the Piedmont Crescent
based on coal, iron, tobacco,
furniture, textiles and bound to
gether by power lines furnish
the South's most coherent ap
proaches tomodern industrial
culture. Conquest, and near con
quest of hookworm and malaria
with readjustment in the ill
chosen diet of the southern com-
mon man (oi wnicn pellagra
is an index) will do much to re
move handicaps once regarded
as inherent in the southern cli
mate." 4 :
"Georgraphy," he concluded, j
"however, offers one factor of
superlative importance that may
be regarded as not subject to
change by man. Let us talk of
the weather. At least one indus
trious student has assigned the
South a low rank in civilization
and accounted for the status on
the basis of sub-tropic climate.
Changes are. possible, however,
in adjustment to climate and it

is notable that many southern
deficiencies and inadequacies
find climate a secondary rather
than a primary factor. The
handicaps of the South are not
inherent in the geographic or
biological scheme of things.
They are incidental and may be
overcome." 4
"The South's industrial prob
lems which now agitate the en
tire country cannot be 'success
fully served on the basis of the
small snapshot views of detached
segments of the contemporary
scene," Dr. Clarence Heer of the
institute said in duscussing "In
comes and Wages in the South."
The ratio of agricultural wage
earners to all others was three
to one in the South as compared
to a ratio of one to two in the
rest of the country, he pointed
out.
"That the situation in south
ern agriculture is a basic factor
in causing the income and wage
disparities between the South
and the "rest of the country be-
come increasingly clear wnen
wage rates in specific non-agri
cultural employments are com
pared. It is in tie unskilled oc
cupations capable of being filled
by raw recruits from the farm
that wage differential between
the South and the rest of the
country reaches its maximum,
"Specifically, the wages paid
common laborers in the South
range from 50 to 65 per cent of
the average for similar classes
Of workers in other parts of the
country. In semi-skilled employ
ments, the range of southern
wages seems to run from 65 to
85 per cent of the wages in com
parable employments elsewhere.
In the case, of skilled mechanics,
the disparity between the South
and the rest of the country ap
pears to reach its minimum,
southern wage -rates represent
ing from 75 to 100 per , cent of
the corresponding wage rates
obtaining outside of . the South."
"In semi-skilled occupations,
which are less immediately af
fected by the competition of the
problems of southern agriculture
and Jf they are to be solved they
must necessarily be solved to
gether." Dx. T. J. Woofter, Jr., of the
institute, ascribed the difficul
ties of cooperative marketing in
the South to tenancy the high
proportion of negro farmers, de
pendence upon merchant credit
and its resulting dumping, over
production, and the lack of tech
nical knowledge of market pecu
liarities of southern crops.
"All these problems have con
fronted southern cooperatives
and they now have ten years'

DEPRESSION CAN
BE REMEDIED BY
MOREEDUCATION
Obligations, Opportunities, Ne
cessities of Education Are
Great, Hutchins Asserts.
President Robert M. Hutchins
of the University of Chicago,
spoke in Gerrard hall Thursday
evening before, the educational
conference and the students on
the situation education confronts
today. He related his section of
the country to this by remark
ing, the business depression, and
then related the depression to
education. Why has education
not prevented it, the speaker
queried? But incompetence has
caused it, an incompetence that
has half the world starving to
obtain what the other half , is
starving to dispose of. .
He found 'the answer to be
more education, and found the
"obligations, opportunities, and
necessities" of education greater
than ever before. A study of
contemporary life is a new solu
tion. And then Dr. Hutchins spoke
for more embracing study and
for the overcoming of the .in
tense specialization that sepa
rates t a -teacher from a , teacher
and a student from an educa
tion. Scholarship will be less a
matter of sitting in an armchair
and of writing scholarly, jour
nels. It will no longer be a thing
apart,unrelated to the world.
People have more leisure than
they have ever had' before. Eng
land will probably emerge with a
more civilized working class than
she has ever had before, but
adult education has never been
popular in this country. Exten
sion work must be made a re
gular part of the university ser
vices, "not an after thought by
the professor who must live, ac
cording to Hutchins.
' College work must cease to be
a matter hours of work done
and number of credits received.
An adding machine has no place
in deciding .whether : a student
is graduated or not. A would-be
research student must not be
obliged to spend his enthusiasm
on routine work which bores
him.
Dr. Hutchins "University of
Utopia" would have entrance in
to the college and promotion
from it depend on the individual
student and not on an adding
machine. But more money and
more academic freedom are es
sential, he declares.
NUMBER 3S
UNIVERSITY NOT
FULLY AWARE OF
ITS OBIJGATION
Declares Dodd in Four-Division
Address, Gerrard Hall,
Friday Evening
Dr. William E. Dodd of the
University of Chicago spoke Fri
day evening in Gerrard hall on
"The University and the Public"
in a four division address. In
the beginning, he stated that the
university as a part of the demo
cratic and social system of the
United States is not entirely safe
ground. It is not fully aware
of its social obligation to the
public. The whole world will soon
be ranged against the United
States because of her policy of
abandoning all cooperation with
the world.
The university is the only na
tional hope that can change the
tone of the country's foreign
policy. After the Franco-Prussian
war Germany adopted much
the same policy toward outsiders
without, however, totally isolat
ing herself. The professors were
unable to rise above the national
error. "Vital blunders in social
policy of foreign relations lead
to catastropne. ; tsuz proiessors
and universities are valuable on
ly when the people profit by
them. And the common man is
not interested in the "support of ,
prigs."
In the second division of his
speech, Dr. Dodd considered the
make-up of the universities.
There are-more than, a million
students in the country, oh whom
a billion dollars is snent yearly.
The buildings are masterpieces
of architecture, but what are the
students in the " buildings like?
The majority cannot study deep
ly, and the "majority sets the
tone." Many of the students, lin
flhlA.tn fftand alone, enter clubs.
In these clubs, anybody who
studies is ' a grind;; anybody
who thinks, a Bolshevik. The
club group is a third. Another
third is too aware of the dis
crimination to concentrate. The
other third, self-help students,
are -; too over-worked to study.
The billion dollars, a year goes
to- a small minority : the tenth

'BULL CITY' FIRE
LOSSJS$300,000
Million Pounds of Tobacco, Prop
erty of American Tobacco
Company, Is Burned.
The large storage warehouse
of the American Tobacco Com
pany on Morehead Avenue in
Durham, was totally destroyed
by a fire of undetermined origin,
early yesterday afternoon. This
is the most disastrous fire in
recent years to occur in this
section of the state.
More than 1,100,000 pounds
of tobacco and a large quantity
of "packing supplies were lost
in the blaze. Eight negro houses
adjoining the property, .were
destroyed in the fire.
-Two negro children who were
locked in one of the houses
while their parents went to work
were reported to have lost their
lives in the conflagration. A
search is being conducted to re
cover their bodies.
On account of high j voltage
wires near , fhe scene . of the
burning structure, power lines
had to"be cut off for two hours,
leaving the entire city without
power.
The loss was estimated to be
well in excess of $300,000.
