DI SENATE ELECTION OF OFFICERS NEW WEST 7:15 DOParrroRY elections BUILDING OFFICERS TONIGHT 10:30 Si I! .-J ! A( A ! i III I It til i (Ui , VOLUME XXXIX B-A-'S DECLARED WINNER OF DEKE ATEMC AWARD Trophy Given for High Scholar ship and Participation in Var sity and Intramural Sports. . The Kappa Alpha fraternity -was declared winner of the an nually awarded Deke trophy ! last evening in Memorial hall, along with the presentation of other honors of Awards Night. Dean F. F. Bradshaw formally presented the trophy in behalf of the members of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. The method of computing the points scored by the various fraternities competing for the award consists mainly in count ing the scholastic average of each chapter as one half, and dividing the remaining credits between varsity and intra-mural athletics. Although the Kappa Alpha lodge was winner by a -wide margin, there was consid rable competition. The next three ranking fraternities were Kappa Sigma, Sigma Alpha Ep silon, and Zeta Psi. The latter, winner of the trophy on its in auguration last year, scored approximately the same number of points this year. By dint of their athletic activities, how ever, the K. A.'s were able to assume first place. " Presented by Bradshaw Dean Bradshaw, in his pre mutation speech, reflected cre dit upon the members of the D. K. E,. fraternity for. associat ing themselves with this move ment to encourage both scholas tic and extra-curricular activi lic among the Greek letter fra ternities on the campus. The beneficial effect is already ob servable in the fact that the scores of the leading fraterni ties are much higher this, year than last. The trophy is a silver piece of mounted statuary about thirty inches high. The figures, classic in design, represent Minerva, goddess of learning, holding aloft a tablet, and Apollo, god of the games and the sun, m a rnnninff nosition at her side. , GEOLOGY GROUPS WILL TOUR WEST Despite the rumors to ' the contrary, the western motor trip will be given as usual this .year. The frip which begins on June 7 and lasts through August 4, is being run by the Southern Tours, Inc., of Chapel Hill.' The extension division of the Uni versity has nothing whatever to do with the running of the trip; it is only attending to the educational part of it. Through the extension divi sinn th sprvic.es of Dr. Gerald MacCarthv. of the geology de partment, have been acquired Dr. MacCarthy will teach two courses, one on the introduction to physical geology ' and the other on the physical and eco nomic creoloev of the United States.

Whitener, superin tendent of the schools of Maid n, is to manage the trip, and the, party will travel in smal busses and a few private cars This vear the tour will . cove about 9000 miles, visiting such Places as Pikes Peak, Grand Canyon, Los Angeles, and Yose :lnite and Yellowstone National Parks. DORMITORIES TO ELECT OFFICERS Following the established cus tom, the undergraduate dormi tories will elect their presidents, vice presidents,, and athletic managers, to-night at 10:30 o'clock, in first floor halls of each dormitory. The Carolina Dormitory Club has considered that it is better to have all of the dormitory elections the same mgnt at ine same time, m order that all of the dormitory resid ents will have an opportunity to have general notice of the elections, and in order that the residents will make their plans to attend and participate in the elections. Elections are held this year in order that the dormitory activi ties of the fall quarter such as freshman receptions, smokers, and intra-mural athletics, may get under way without delay. Also, the dormitory residents are better known to each other at this time of the year, and they will be in a better position to select good leaders for these important offices. The Dormitory - Club has under consideration plans to make the present dormitory or ganization more effective next year. JENKINS SPEAKS ON LEGISLATURE History Professor Reviews Work of Present Session in Mon day's Chapel Talk. Professor William S. Jenkins, of the department of history and government, spoke in freshman chapel yesterday on "The Or ganization of the State Legisla tive Body and the Important Is sues That Confronted the Pres ent Legislature." The North Carolina legislative body is called the General As sembly and is composed of senate, or upper group, and a a house, or lower body. The sen ate is composed of fifty mem bers who are elected from thirty- three districts. The members of the house of representatives number 120, each county being allowed at least one representa tive. The elections for the leg islature are held every even year, and the regular sessions are held the odd years. The pay of a member of . either house is $600 for the session, and the length of a session is usually about sixty days, but the pres ent legislature , has been in ses sion almost 140 days, breaking all former . records. There are prospects of adjournment by to morrow. Assembly Criticised. There has been widespread criticism of the present General Assembly, according to Profes sor Jenkins, but there have been many grave problems confront- e- the legislators, lax .re form is probably the hardest to solve. The former method ot taxation was an ad valorem tax Of two dollars and forty cents nn everv one hundred dollars worth of property. The budget commission wanted to cut the appropriations for all state m- st.it ntions. The McLean iaw provided for the state to take Vor and ooerate all six months schools in the state, and schools to be operated by revenue from rtTYiP other source than There were other bills such as Wmsdale luxury tax, tJ Qr.oi cnlfis tax, and the corporation . recapture tax. f thoeo hills were rejected. I JH.V UCIW1 r- ' All Other accomplishments of the CHAPEL HILL, N. O, TUESDAY MAY 26, 1931 Graham Memorial Social Center New Union Building Should Meet tion if the Campus Sees Fit o- Costing when, finished four times as much as any building now on the camnus. inplndmc the new library, which is the argest building in ; the Univer sity, the Graham Memorial stu dent union building will by far surpass anything that this cam pus has. The plans for the build ing called for a central portion and two large wings on each end. The proposed total cost of the structure, with complete furnishings is two and a half million dollars. As yet money has not been raised to build either of the planned wings, but the central portion is just being completed. This section will alone cost half a million. Pride in Building Every student at Carolina noW ought to-take pride in the fact that such a building is be ing erected on this campus and that he will be able to have the use and advantages of a union building. Students may also take pride in the fact that for mer college generations have contributed and helped to raise money and that now the pres ent generation may also be con sidered to have an important part m the voting ot raising money to help furnish it. Graham Memorial will not be taking the place of any build ing now on the campus, for there has been no building of the size ever planned for the purposes of this structure. It will truly be a student activities center. Every phase of the stu dent life will be found there, and it will act as a radiating point for the whole campus. Just as Nine Cases Handled By Recorder's Court The following cases were tried in the Recorder's court Saturday morning: Robert Nicks, colored, paid costs for speeding. C. B. Rogers, student, paid costs for speeding. J. R. Creel, white; found not guilty of charge of public drunkeness,and disorderly con duct. Ira Battle, : colored, . paid costs for speeding. J. G. Poole, student, paid costs for speeding. Edward Jones, colored, paid costs for speeding. Zilla Farrington, colored, pleading guilty on a charge of possessing liquor and equipment for its manufacture, was sen tenced to four months on -the road. Thomas Strowd, colored, paid costs and was put on good be havior probation for six months when found guilty of public drunkeness. x H. S. Canada colored, paid costs on same charge. Chemistry Trip Fifteen chemistry students went-to Asheville on an, inspec tion trip last Friday. Dr. F. K. Cameron and Dr. A. M. White were in charge of this trip. From Asheville, the group went to Canton to inspect the Champ ion Fiber company. One of the main "things in spected was the machinery of the factory. They also inspected the management of the 'mill and the way in which the finished article was turned but was of general interest to the students. Will Provide For All Students Demands as a Place for Recrea- to Vote for Its Upkeep. South building is the center of the University as far as admin istration goes, the student body will center activities and meet ings in the Graham Memorial. Appropriate Meeting Place Not only .will activity and business offices be placed in the union, but it will be ah appro priate get together place for all students. ' Boys in fraternities already have many of the ad vantages that this phase affords. Fraternities have lounge rooms, reading rooms, visiting and meeting places, large enough halls to give dinners and small dances, but the non-fraternity man is at a disadvantage in this sense: They have absolutely no place for spending their leisure time besides in their room, in the present inadequate Y build ing, down street, or even in the last extremity in Durham. The hew union building then particularly makes an appeal to this group. Here on the ground floor are several large rooms which may be used for welcom ing visitors, listening to a radio or phonograph, reading, having general bull sessions, or engag ing in some games. There is a large and beautiful ballroom on the same floor where small dances may be conducted, and down stairs is a large dining hall for special dinners, and where they will be able to get something to eat at odd' hours. The building resembles and fills the same need as a student ho tel, and will, provide a second home, and certainly a Chapel Hill home, to non-fraternity men. Dialectic Senate To Elect New Officers The last meeting of the Dia letic senate for this year will take place tonight in the Di Hall at 7:15. As provided in -"the constitution the last yearly meeting is given over to the election of officers and is purely business. A president, president-pro tein, critic, clerk, and sergeant- at-arms will all be chosen. The office of treasurer, was filled at an earlier meeting. The officers of the Senate for this past quarter have been K. C. Ramsay, president; McB. Fleming-Jones, president pro tein; J. M. Little, critic ; Charles Rose, clerk; and Starlin Whita ker, sergeant-at-arms. UNIVERSITY IMPROVES SWAIN HALL GROUNDS During the last few days the grounds around Swain Hall have been receiving some attention. Work on the lawn is in progress, and the walks have, been built up. They are being laid off and bordered by native rock. Between the rock walls which border "the walks, gravel has been hauled in. This prevents parking near the entrance which has, in the past, caused the yards to become cut , up and, during rains, the ground in front of the hall to be very deep in water and mud. The work be ing done will prevent any fur ther annoyance to the patrons of the dining hall on rainy days. The lawn between the walks is being fertilized, and grass is ba ing planted: These improvements are un der the supervision and control of the University, CARR DORMITORY TO BE LAW CLUB The University Administra tive Board has set aside Carr building for the exclusive use of . law students for the year 1931-32. It is understood that the building must be complete ly occupied by law students dur ing this coming year, otherwise steps will be taken to determine what group will occupy it after that date. Carr building was assigned to law students because of the de sire manifested by the law group. Jiotn law iacuity ana students presented a written pe tition to the committee in charge of the building; and after sixty-two students had consented to occupy the building, an agree ment was drawn up enabling them to do so. There are six suites, each of which will be occupied by three students, and twenty-two rooms arranged for two students each. There is also a large reception room. The law students are very en thusiastic over the new living quarters, and every possible ef fort will be made to turn it into a barrister club.

At this time students found recognition of the efforts they had spent throughout the past school year in the various lines of activity: scholarship, athletics, dramatics, music, and literary pursuits. "Hark the Sound" The meeting was opened by a cheer led by the chief cheer leader, Ed Hazelwood, and was followed by the singing in uni son by the audience of "Hark the Sound," led by Dr. H. S. Dyer. President Frank P. Graham, the principal speaker was introduced by the presiding officer of the occasion, Mayne Albright, president of the the student union. Graham's Speech Mr. Graham said that this was the night of recognition and awards. "These men constitute our real aristocracy. They are not an aristocracy of birth or money or position or popularity but an aristocracy of ability, work, and achievement. These scholars, writers, ath letes, debaters, actors, musi cians, and: other artists have won through by dint of sheer merit, will, work, and worth. They have the something plus. They held oh after others let go and dropped by the wayside. "Theirs," he continued, "is a reeminence measuring the open ness of our student democracy and the height ot our Univer sity excellence. They- would teach us all to call out the best that is in us. They lead us to clear out of our campus, our town, our fraternities, our dor mitories, anything that would tear down the excellence within (Continued on last page) .. ..
