BOXING TONIGHT CAROLINA vs DUKE DURHAM" 7 O'CLOCK --r - . M - - i J! iir x. M i j $ i V.!' BOXING TONIGHT CAROLINA vs DUKE DURHAM 7 O'CLOCK f ; Ml x I J i ! - ii,, VOLUME XXXIX NEW ATTENDANCE REGULATIONS ARE FINALLY ADOPTED Undergraduate Faculty Ruling Allows Only a Maximum of Five Cuts Per Quarter. The optional attendance re gulations for juniors and seniors which had been effect for several years were abolished last March "by the undergraduate f aculty presided over by Dean Addison Hibbard. It was dean Hibbard's plan to have optional attendance, but finding that the department heads and most of the deans did not approve of this, he did not press the issue. The general faculty, which has the final say in such matters, in December appointed a special . committee to study problems of absences, and made absences a matter of regulation for the heads of departments and the deans. Interpreting the spirit of the faculty, President Graham suspended the operation of this regulation until the committee appointed by the faculty could make its study and recommen dation. The committee made its report and the faculty took ac tion last Friday. President Graham reports : "These regulations do not go into effect until next fall.; They will be printed in the catalogue for next year so thatv the stu dents may have a copy of the complete regulations as approv ed by the faculty. For the rest of this year, the absence regula tions will be in accordance with those that were in effect in De cember until they were tem porarily suspended awaiting the report of the commission."- The provision for absences next year provides for optional attendance for "those who have made the honor roll for two suc cessive quarters. Quoting from the resolution adopted by the committee to ac company the submission of the report, we find : "All regulations and recommendations of the special committee are condition ed upon the fundamental as sumption that the administra tive officers and the instructors can and will effectively perform ine duties assigned respectively to them therein. In case this ef fectiveness cannot be assured, the committee think that the re Port should not be adopted and that the committee should be discharged." It now becomes the duty of all the professors to check up and JePort absences from class at tendance more carefully and completely than has been done in the past. It is the duty of the administrative department of the University to collect and put on file the reports made by the proiessors. These reports are to rcade available for use as lhey have been recorded in the offlce of the registrar. Article One reads: "Regular class attendance is a student Nation. The unexcused ab nce is not recognized as a student privilege." Then follows the clause in regard to the op lInal attendance in the advent Jf a student making the honor I for "two successive quarters. The maximum number of un excused absences shall not ex during any quarter, the umber of weekly meetings of ne class, provided that any de , ment may impose penalties . a less number of absences, fences before or after Uni rsity holidays - shall count as (Continued n lat pas) Seminary Student Addresses Freshmen Charles C. Fishburne, presi dent of the student body of Vir ginia Seminary, spoke to the freshmen at the regular Monday morning chapel period.' Fish burne graduated from the Uni versity of South Carolina in 1925, was a member of the faculty of the same institution for a year, and is now at the Virginia Seminary. In his talk he advised the freshmen to set their standards and bend every effort to keep up to them at all times. . MARIONETTE SHOW COMING JFO TOWN Sue Hasting's Production To Be Given Thursday Afternoon And Night. Episodes from the stories of Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corners are depicted by the Sue Hasting's Marionettes in a special program which they will present for the Carolina Playmakers, at a three o'clock matinee, Thursday, February 19. In discussing this new pro gram which she is offering this season Sue Hastings was most enthusiastic about the new pro duction and said, "In my search for something new and close to the heart of the modern child it occurred to me that 'Winnie the Pooh' was a delightful character, just the one we had been looking for; but to make sure that he was a popular favorite I got in touch with the children's room of the public library and the norarian there miormea me that the Winnie the Pooh books were in great demand. I also went to several stores and asked for the most popular children's stones ana again rooti was among the first mentioned. In producing our program we have faithfully followed the Milne stories and given careful study and much thought to the charac terizations of Christopher Robin, the small boy and his toys from the tiny Piglet and Roo to the slow moving Eeyore, Tigger, and Kanga, the lovable Pooh and the Rabbit. And so Winnie-the- Pooh, so dear to the heart of American children is being pre sented for the first time in marionette form." Mrs. Hastings has won a na tional reputation as a designer of dainty marionettes and as a producer of marionette plays. Several of her companies are playing in all parts of the coun try. This season she is present ing her third annual series at Columbia University and recent ly she gave a series at the New York Town Hall. Her produc tions have been popular not only in schools, clubs and at a wide variety of civic and social func tions, but have been especially in vogue at colleges. Thursday night at eight-thirty Miss Hastings will present her Puppet Review. Seats for the performance may be reserved at the Students' Supply Store.

Durham won the trophy last year. CHAPEL HILL, N. C TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1931 President Urges - 0 To the Members of the Student The Student Council views with pleasure the fact that there will be two or more active candidates for every off ice in the politi cal field this year. Open and clean-cut competition is the most desired thing for our student government. Only the best men can be selected by such a process. However, the offices which University which we feel: prompt all candidates and members of all tain the friendly harmony and ment obligates itself to perpetuate, the student council will vigor ously prosecute all persons circulating rumors derogatory to the persons or character of any candidate on either and all sides. The fine Carolina tradition must be maintained, and it is our most honest belief - that political campaigns must not be waged upon questions of alleged moral turpitude or' dishonesty but upon the qualifications of the various candidates. In the case of candidates, they will be brought before the student council and disqualified from running if they circulate rumors or posters of this na Mnd in the case of other mem bers of the student body, they ivul be brought before the student council. We wish to appeal to the members of air factions of -the stu dent body to support us in causing this forthcoming campaign to be the fairest, cleanest-cut, and most honestly conducted of any which the University has ever enjoyed. The Honor System, the Campus Code, and the tradition preserved. MID-WINTER SET OF DANCES PROVE VERY SUCCESSFUL Paul Graham and His Orchestra Supply Music for the Five Dances.

Changes in the old Chapel Hill charter caused much discussion among the city aldermen when they met last Wednesday night. The amendment under discus sion gave the board powerto elect the mayor as town manager. This seemed to some like a step toward abolishing the office of city manager while to others it seemed a useless change since the board had the power to select whom they consider fitted for the position. B. D. Sawyer, town attorney, supported the amendment since he said it made clear the powers of the aldermen. June Harris thought the of fice of city manager should be abolished, since the town was spending too much for admini7 stration. Accordingly he stated that the duties of the position could be transferred to clerks and chief of police. The new charter was submit ted to the legislature last week and has not yet been passed upon. f The new municipal charter fixes the date for penalty for late payment of taxes on Feb ruary 10, and makes the same one percent per month after this date. Professor Baity of the en gineering school stated at the meeting that he was working on plans for improvement of the city sewer. He stated that the capacity of the present plant is much too small to meet the needs. His plans will be put into effect during the coming spring and summer.

NUMBER 103 DEAM. V.HOWELL DIES OF ATTACK FROM PMUMOMA Was Head of Pharmacy School And a Leading Figure in University Life. Edward Vernon Howell, founder of the school of pharm acy of the University, and its dean for thirty-three years, died at his home here early Sat urday evening of pneumonia. He had been severely ill for two weeks, and his life had been despaired of several days ago, but unexpected rallies had led his relatives and friends to hope that he would recover. No man was better known or better loved in Chapel Hill than Dr. Howell. He came here when Chapel Hill was a tiny remote village, and when the Univer- sity had a student body of only about 400 and a faculty of about twenty-five. He saw the institution through all the stages of its growth, and carried his own school of pharm acy with it. He took an active part in the business and social life of the community. Mr. Howell's fame as a stu dent and investigator in the sci ence of pharmacy was nation wide, and last year he received one of the highest honors that can be accorded to a pharmacist the appointment to the revi sion committee of the United States Pharmacopoeia. His. interest extended beyond his own science. He was de voted to folk lore, and his home a m m t was a storehouse oi antiques arid relics as well as of rare old books, newspapers, diaries, and letters. Dr. Howell was a renowned athlete, both at Wake Forest and here. He was awarded a medal for the best all-round ath lete at Wake Forest, arid while here the touchdown he made in 1898 against the University of Virginia elevated him to the pinnacle of football fame. ' He was born in Raleigh, March 30, 1872, and twenty years afterward, 1892, received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Wake Forest collegeTwo years later the Philadelphia Col lege of Pharmacy awarded him the degree of Ph.G. He did post-graduate work in chemis try at the University of North Carolina in 1897-98, and since September, 1897, has been pro fessor of pharmacy and dean of the department. Some of the honors held by Dr. Howell are : member of the American Pharmaceutical Asso ciation (chairman historical sec tion 1918-19, vice-chairman scientific section); member of American Chemical Society, North Carolina Pharmaceutical Society, . American Historical Association, American Folk Lore Society, Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society (president 1913-14), and the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. He was vice-president of the Conference of American Pharmaceutical Faculties in 1923-24, member of the executive committee of American Colleges of Pharmacy , in .1926-27, and a contributor to various pharmaceutical journals. The funeral services for Dr. Howell were conducted at his home here at two-thirty o'clock yesterday afternoon, and inter ment took place in Raleigh at four o'clock. Reverend W. D. Moss held the services. The active pallbearers were Professor Grover Beard, Profes-
