The most recent issue of The Annals of the American Aca demy of Political and Social Science has as its topic "The Coming of Industry to the South." William, J. Carson, Ph. D., assistant professor of finance at the University of Pennsylvania, and editor of this periodical says : "This volume of The Annals is designed to show the scope of industrial develop ment in the South and some of its consequences. It analyzes many of the problems that have arisen as industries have grown and as communities in the southern, states have" changed from a predominantly ; agricul industrial society. It describes many , adjustments that are under way and obstacles limit their "progress, and that nf progressive adaptation economic and social life to in dustrial changes in the future. It also indicates essential feat ures of a program to restore and preserve agriculture and at the same time promote the develop ment of industry in a balanced economy." The majority of the contents of this volume are by Professors in southern universities and col leges and other southern au thorities. Of these, the number UroroitiDo winch sta rPTVrPSPTlten uy me mwu, mSuCa uum articles are the University of Virginia and the University of Tennessee, each having two. .

At the runoff of the fresh man elections yesterday Ike ; Minor of Atlanta, Georgia, was elected president of the class of 34, John Barrow of Zebulon be came vice-president,, and Gus Mclver of Durham, treasurer. All the victorious candidates won by tremendous majorities. Minor had 275 votes to Phipps' 188; Barrow received 300 votes while Tatum polled 162; Mclver received more votes than any other candidate, 306 to Hud- son's 154. Evidently some of the fresh men refused to vote after their original candidate had been eliminated, as only 463 ballots were cast yesterday as compar ed to 564 votes balloted in the first election last Thursday.

Dyer, head of the music department. The chorus numbers sixty to seventy men's voices. Probably some of the numbers will have an organ ac companiment.

A reproduction of the fraternity coat-of-arms will be engraved on the top of the page opposite the first the center will be the one; m roster . compiled as last year, and at the lower part a picture of the fra ternity house. Due to the fact that the old cuts are badly worn, and that several national fraternities do not allow reproductions of their pins, the Yackety Yack staff has adopted the absolute use of coat- bf- arms. LOYALTY COUNCIL GETS FAVORABLE REPORTON FUNDS Grisette's Annual Report Shows More Contributions Than Ever Before. .The annual report of Director Felix A. Grisette, the election of officers and the laying of plans for next year's activities; constituted the chief items, of business at the annual meeting of the Alumni Loyalty Fund Council which took .place in the office of President Frank P. Graham Saturday night. Leslie Weil of Goldsboro, chairman, presided at the meeting. The report of Director Gris ette revealed small gifts from 2,054 alumni totaling $40,163.66 In addition to these donations a conditional gift of $50,000 to be used for a designated purpose, and a definite commitment for a large sum of money to be used for student loan purposes, prob ably $100,000, were announced. It was further announced that three prominent University alumni had written the Univer sity in their wills during the year. ... Mr. Grisette said that contri butions had come from alumni living in 134 cities and towns in North Carolina, thirty-one states other than North Carolina, twelve foreign countries, and from sixty different classes. This wide participation of alumni is greater by 10 to 1 than that of any previous year in the University's history, despite the fact that 1930 was a year mark ed by a great financial depres sion. Although the number of con tributions was much greater, the depression of the year was very noticeable in the amounts of the gifts. Mr. Grisette announced that approximately 48 per cent of the contributions, or almost one out of every two, was for five dollars or less and that 16 per cent of the entire number were for only one dollar. "When we take into account the fact that during previous years an .alumnus seldom failed to give less than $10, it is easy to see what our total might have been if this year's individual gifts had been as large as in pre vious years," Mr. Grisette said. Allen J. Barwick, well-known lawyer and a graduate of the University in 1900, was selected to succeed Mr. Weil as chair- ! man of the Council during 1931; (Continusd on last page) tes jiilANY STUDENTS ARE AROUSED BY CATtlPUSQlJESTIOPsT Overwhelming Majority in Favor Of Giving Privilege to Juniors , And Seniors. Methods Are Attacked A Large Percentage Favor Faculty-Student Meetings Quarterly. Eight hundred and two votes were cast in the four-day straw balloting on some of the impor tant campus questions to make the largest number of persons taking part in any sort of campus-wide straw ballot in several years. Of this finah result only eighteen of the group expressed their opinions as being opposed to optional attendance for the juniors and seniors. The question, asking the stu dents if they thought a general survey of educational methods; and curriculum, was advisable, received the second highest num ber of votes with 740 advocating the survey to only forty-nine op posed. It is also easily seen that the majority of the students, favor regular quarterly faculty student meetings as a means of considering mutual problems. Of the total casting votes on this more than seventy-five per cent seemed to stand for these meet ings, the actual number being 610 for to 113. against. More than sixty per cent of the persons taking part in the ballot were not in sympathy with the present methods of in structing. When asked where the blame should be placed for lack of interest in class work practically seventy per cent of the voters named the methods as the fault while ten per cent , of the entire number of votes placed the blame on the stu dents, against twenty per cent accusing the prof essors. Yesterday was the last day that the ballot would be held, and the officials of the Daily Tar Heel wish to thank those taking part in the voting by expressing their opinions. Civic Club Plans Musical Program Meetings of the literature and music department of the Com munity Club were scheduled for this week.
