FORTY MEMBERS
TAR HEEL STAFF
ENJOY BANQUET
?
Editorial and Business Depart
, ments Honor Retiring Editor
And Business Manager.
The combined .editorial and
business staff of forty members
of the Daily Tar Heel gathered
in the private dining room of
the Carolina Inn last night for
a banquet in honor of the retir
ing editor and business manager
of the paper. It was the first oc
casion of its kind in the thirty
eight years of the Tar Heel's ex
istence. Charlie Rose, who has
been news editor of the paper
for the past year acted as toast-
, master. Short talks were, made
by Dan Kelly, representing the
reporters, K. C. Ramsay, retir
ing sports editor, John Manning,
the new business manager, Ed
French, newly elected managing
. editor, Pat Patterson, retiring
business manager, Will Yar
borough, retiring editor, and
finally Jack Dungan, the new
editor, who announced the tem
porary staff promotions for the
coming, year.
Will Yarborough in his last
talk before the staff of the pa
per he has worked on for four
years stressed three things.
First he wanted it made known
to the campus where the money
they spend goes, secondly, he
wanted the staff members to
wage a fight against the cur
tailment of student privileges,
and finally, said that one should
work with the Daily Tar Heel
not for honor and glory but for
pleasure and experience, stress
ing that it was a distinct honor
to be on the staff, even if one
was only a reporter.
Jack Dungan told a little of
his plans for the paper during
the next year and stressed the
fact that members must work
for any promotion they may se
cure, as the responsible positions
on the paper were to go only to
efficient and capable men. The
staff for the next year as an
nounced by the new editor will
be found in the masthead.

DELTA SIGMA PI
HEARS BRADSHAW
Francis F. Bradshaw, dean of
students, spoke before the first
spring quarter smoker given by
Delta Sigma Pi, professional
commerce fraternity Tuesday
night. -
Dean Bradshaw's topic was
"Business and Ethics." He
pointed out that the inhabitants
of the world can be divided into
three classes : those who leave
the thical standards and conven
tions of the world as they find
them, those who attempt to pull
them lower, and those who at
tempt to raise them.
He went on further to say
that although the latter course
is the most difficult, the indivi
dual will derive the greatest
satisfaction out of following it.
When the speaker applied these
observations to the business
man, he stated that the princi
ples were particularly pertinent
because of the important posi
tion occupied by this type of
professional man.

SOCIAL SERVICE
STUDENTS CHOOSE
MOOREvPRESEDENT
Mr. Comer and Billy McKee
Attend State Conference
at Goldsboro.
Beverly Moore, a member of
the senior class of the Univer
sity was elected president for
the coming year of the student
section of the North Carolina
Social Service conference which
met in Goldsboro Monday, Tues
day, and Wednesday of this
week. ' Other student officers
were S. B. Hines of State col
lege, vice president; and Martha
Davis, of Salem, secretary.
The student section of the
conference convening for the
first time as an official body had
its first meeting Monday night.
Representatives " were present
from Duke, State, Meredith,
Queens-Chicora, Salem, N. C. C.
W. and Carolina. Harry F.
Comer and Billy McKee were
the representatives from the
University. State College had
the largest' number of represen
tatives. .
During the Monday night
section which was presided over
by the president, Elouise Ban
ning of N. C. C. W., Dr. W. A.
Stanbury, pastor of the Duke
Memorial Church, Durham, and
Mr. W. C. Jackson, vice-president
of N. C. C. W., were the
speakers. Dr. Stanbury told
what he thought the responsi
bility of the church was towards
social betterment in the matter
of the evils in the new indus
trialism, in the crime situation,
and in attitude towards war.
The essence of Mr. JacksOn's ad
dress was that before people
could hope to make social pro
gress we must first know the
facts.
Tne student division again
met Tuesday morning in a
joint meeting with the minister
section. Professor J. M. Or-
mand of Duke University, was
the only scheduled speaker who
was present, and he gave some
very interesting and surprising
facts about the relation of the
country church towards rural
progress. He thought that the
country had a great field and a
great opportunity which they
were not making use of. The
fact that there are too many
rural churches, that they are
poorly equipped, insufficiently
financed, and unsuitable located
for the reasons the speaker gave
for the present situation. Mr.
Comer and Dr. Roy Brown, both
of Carolina, also spoke at the
meeting, along with several of

University Budget
Now Set at 5724,000
According to the latest figures
the University's appropriation
for each of the next two years
will be $724,000. These figures
are not final, however, as this
is only the figure set by the
house appropriations commit
tee. This is a reduction of
$76,000, the previous figures be
ing $800,000. The recommenda
tion of the house appropriations
committee has not yet reached
the floors of either the senate or
the house.
The original budget bill called
for $573,000, for the University,
the joint appropriations commit
tee raising it to $875,000 and
later reduced it to $800,000.
Since then there has been a
struggle in the committee be
tween members who favor cur
tailing the state's educational
program and those who favor an
increased appropriation.
PLANS ARE MADE
FOR SENIOR WEEK
List of Men Who Are to Speak
To Graduating Class Not
Decided Yet.
At the meeting last Tuesday
afternoon of the committee in
charge of senior week it was de
cided tentatively that the annual
Senior Week should occur the
week following the Human Rela
tions Institute.
The class of .'31 will begin its
farewell activities by donning
the usual senior regalia during
the progress of the week. It is
planned that the insignia this
year will consist of flannel jack
ets. Negotiations are already
being made to procure the
jackets in order to insure a uni
form appearance.
Last year the insignia worn
by the proud and dignified mem
bers of the graduating class was
a white sleveless sweater, upon
which the Carolina colors were
pinned. A very colorful effect
is noticed every spring with the
seniors promenading in their
gayly-colored coats.
According to the long-estab
lished custom the campus will
be nominally ruled by the se
niors for the brief term of five
days. During that time there
will be many events sponsored
by the class or held for its bene
fit. ' '
Last year talks were held each
evening under the Davie Poplar
by various prominent men.
Among the men addressing the
graduating class last year were
President Chase and Dr. R. D.
W. Connor. This year the same
program is to be followed in re
gard to the talks for members
of the senior class exclusively
each evening at seven-thirty un
der Davie Poplar. Speakers for
these occasions have not been
announced, but the subjects for
these addresses will probably
deal mainly with . such topics as
philosophy, business, vocations,
and social problems.
Besides this series of ; talks
there will be numbers of benches
placed at strategic points about
the campus in the attempt to
promote friendly gatherings
among the members of the grad
uating class. These benches will
be painted in the class colors,
maroon and white.
The chairman of the commit
tee attending to the plans for
this week's activities is Clyde
Dunn. Assisting him on this
committee are Will -Yarborough,
Kermit Wheary, Charles de
Wolfe, Bill Lindsay, and Bert
Haywood.
NUMBER 141
PID BETA KAPPA
SOCIETY TARES
IN TWENTY-FO
Dr. H. Van P. Wilson Addresses
Group on Teachers He
, Has Known. .
At the meeting of Phi Beta
Kappa, honorary scholastic fra
ternity, last night, Joe Eagles,
president, presided and Beverly
Moore, secretary, read out the
list of men who were elected to
this society. . Dr. Henry Van
Peters Wilson, who has been an ,
outstanding and active member
of this organization, addressed
the public meeting citing several
outstanding teachers he has
known and studied under.
The first teacher mentioned
was a certain Morbin, who
taught Latin and Greek, of
whom he said, "Morbin realized
that all boys are martyrs." Dr.
Wilson also quoted Dr. Huxley,
outstanding English scientist,
when he said, "Science is funda
mentally based on experimenta
tion." Dr. Wilson says, "It was
while studying under Ira Ran-,
son, leading American chemist,
that I first found out the differ
ence, between generalized facts
and explanatory- theorys. The
former changes gradually with
experimentation and new dis
coveries while the latter changes
quickly due to a discovery which
changes the entire theory. He
further said; "Students are
hardened and do not like to ac
cept new facts about anything."
V The following men were
elected : ' '" - v v - "
Lankford Joseph Fel ton, .pres
ident; John Andrews, vice-
president; William McRae Bell,
John S. Bivens, William Merlin
Bliss, Woodward Leavenworth

TWO PROGRAMS
ARE SCHEDULED
FOR NEXT YEAR
"Beggar's Opera" and "Irish
Players7' Are Dehnitely on .
Entertainment List.
As yet the entertainment
committee has not made many
definite plans for the programs
to be presented next year. How
ever the Beggar's Operd and the
Irish Players have been gotten
for the program. Both of these
companies have long been
sought after and the committee
considers itself fortunate in
having secured them.
In the past the committee has
employed the system of having
the students vote on a list of
entertainments in order to show
their preference.
Now it is thought that . the
voting plan will be abolished in
favor of an expression of stu
dent opinion through represen
tation of the student body or
the committee. The best plan
according to Dean A. W. Hobbs,
is to allow the committee a free
rein, in prder that they may get '
what is best in their opinion
when it is available.
At present the committee is
holding off to see if the en
gineering and commerce schools
are going to come in. If they,
do, it would permit the , com
mittee to obtain the finest enter
tainments that may be offered
anywhere. It is rumored that
the committee may raise the
price of the entertainments to' a
dollar and a half per quarter so
that this may be accomplished
regardless of the entrance of the
two schools into the proposition.
