Plyler of the physics depart ment, "The Arrangement of Atoms in Certain Molecules," was the chief feature of the first meeting of the . Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society which met Tuesday night in Phillips hall. Dr. Plyler's paper wasa brief resume of the work. he had been doing on his leave of absence last year when he studied the infra red spectra at the University of Michigan. The research as a whole was devoted almost en tirely to triatomic molecules. He showed that carbon diox ide and nitrous oxide are formed by the three atoms being in a straight line. The atoms of water vapor Were found to form an isosceles triangle with the two equal angles being 32 1-2 degrees. ,Those of sulphur diox ide were found to be an almost equilateral triangle. Dr. Plyler concluded his talk by stating that in the near fut ure results may be obtained on other molecules and that the re sults obtained by the infra-red method could then be correlat ed with the general properties of the molecule.

SENATE DOES NOT FAVOR COMMUNISM The Dialectic Senate at its meeting Tuesday night discuss ed one bill, revised portions of the constitution, and initiated two new men into the society. The session was long and ex tremely lively. Senator Fleming Jones, chair man of the constitution com mittee recommended that a num ber of articles in the constitu tion, now practically obsolete and useless, be abolished. The Senate found that these changes were no longer a necessary part of the constitution and ordered them stricken from the original body of rules. Revisions were made in several instances where additions T7?re deemed practical. Two "applicants for member ship in the society were initiat ed. These men were F. E. How ard and A. B. Joyner. The sole bill coming up for discussion by the group was: Resolved : That communism does not offer permanent happiness or representative government. Present at the discussion of this bill were two visitors, Messrs. Zimmroch and Adams, local ad vocates of communistic theories, who were allowed the privilege of the floor. Much diversity of opinion on this subject was evinced in the heated debates by members of the Senate. Sena tors Medford and Fleming Jones, opposed the communistic theories advanced by the visitors on the grounds that communism could not possibly be the panacea to create social equality and uni versal happiness. The meeting was adjourned after the bill was passed by a unanimous vote, with the excep tion of two Senators registering as not voting. 1 LOCAL SOCIALISTS HOLD DISCUSSION A large group of students as sembled in Graham Memorial building Tuesday night to talk over socialism, communism, their differences and similari ties. The meeting was opened with a brief talk "by Lawrence Flinn, president of the local unit, in which he told of the almost uni versally unfavorable attitude on the part of the average citizen towards communism. Dr. E. E. Ericson, Dr. W. B. Sanders, and Lewis Carr contri buted ideas to the discussion. Soviet Russia was held up as an example or illustration of socialism. It was suggested that the large scale farming does not allow the individual initia tive. There was a difference of opinion as to whether farming as carried on under the Russian experiment could be successful or not.

Several new members ' were presented for membership and a total of sixty-three attended the session. Washington University Considering Division The University of Washing ton may be turned into an upper and lower division college, term ed a "University College," if the plan formulated by the educa tional research committee of that university should be adopt ed. If this plan is approved, it will be tried out by the college of liberal arts next year. Under the proposed plan, lower division students, fresh men and sophomores, would be on a sort of probation. If their ability in their chosen college was proved, they would be al lowed to continue in the upper college. If, however, they were unable to maintain good scholar ship, they would be dismissed from the university. Should the trial in the liberal arts college be successful, the plan would be adopted by all the divisions of the university. The leaders of the university believe that it would be a test of whether or not the students really desired an education. , The authorities hope that this arrangement will make it pos sible for the students to have a closer contact with instructors. Infirmary List The following students were confined in the infirmary yester day : John Daniel, B. R. Martin son, C. B. Williams, S. M. Pat tershall, M. C. -Tillman and Jack Dungan. Roosevelt Leads All-Coraers In Tar Heel Straw Balloting Dedication of Union v Building Postponed At a joint session last Mon day of the faculty and trustee committees on President Gra ham's inauguration, it was de cided to postpone the dedication of Graham Memorial,- originally scheduled for the same day as the presidential installation. A special committee will be ap pointed to select a new date for the dedication of the student union building. The committee felt that the dedication of Graham Memorial was of sufficient importance to warrant a special day set aside for formal exercises. In addi tion to this, November 11 will be an intensely crowded day with the ceremonies and functions at tached to President Graham's inauguration. DORMITORY CLUB HOLDSJEETING Smoker To Be Given in Each Dormitory This Week Ac cording to Plans. The Carolina Dormitory Club, composed of the various dormi tory presidents, met for the first time Tuesday night. This first meeting was for the purpose of electing officers and modifying the dormitory regulations now in effect. William Medford, - vice-president of the student body, is ex officio chairman of this organi zation; C. H. Atkins, of Graham dormitory, was elected secre tary. Dormitory Smokers It was decided that each dor mitory is to have a council con sisting of a president, vice-president, and councilman for each floor. This council is authorized by the club to place any unruly tenant on "dormitory conduct probation" without calling him before the council. Violation of this probation will lead to a peti tion by the dormitory council to the student council for removal of the offender from the dormi tory. This dormitory council is to meet every two weeks. Each quarter it will sponsor a dormi tory smoker. The first of these smokers will be held by each dormitory this week and the election of representatives to the student forum will take place. ; Dormitory Rules The Dormitory Club decided to change the regulations of last year regarding the time at which all unnecessary noise in the dormitory should cease. Last year this hour was set at 8:30; this year all unnecessary noise shall cease promtply at 8:00. This regulation is suspended on Saturdays. There shall be no disorderly conduct such as yelling from one dormitory to another or pouring water from windows, at any time, it was decided. Stu dents who yell at, or are other wise discourteous to visitors, (Continued on paaetwo) Staff Meeting The staff of The Daily Tar Heel is to be called in extra ordinary session this after noon promptly at 5:00 o'clock. All persons having to do with editorial writing, edit ing, or news gathering are to attend this particular emerg ency meeting. R PUBLICANS GET WORST OF DEAL Norman Thomas, Socialist Can didate, Able to Poll Only Half-Dozen. VOTING CONTINUES TODAY Franklin Delane Roosevelt, governor of New York, loomed as the white haired boy of Chap el Hill Democrats yesterday as scores of voters flocked to the Daily Tar Heel poll boxes for the presidential straw vote nom inations. When the masses of ballots had been extracted from the poll boxes in the lobby of the Y. M. C. A: and the city rooms of the Daily Tar Heel, it appeared that possibly the 1932 campaign will see a solid south, or not a single cross-mark was found opposite the name of any Republican aspirant. The Empire state executive held a lead of thirty-five over his nearest competitor, Owen D. Young, v international financier. "Alfalfa Bill" Murray, governor of Oklahoma, whose recent ex ploits include the taming of the oil wells of that state, trailed Young by a few votes, while Governor Richie of Maryland, an avowed, wet, was not far be hind. Thomas Gets a Few Norman Thomas, presidential candidate in 1928 on the social ist ticket, was the only figure of prominence to obtain a look in on either the socialist or com munist ticket. His name was found written in on a half-dozen ballots. The Great Unknown who shall occupy the blank space in the Republican party section still clung to his habitat, for no dark horse was written in on the rolls of the G. O. P. There, was little indication of a recur rence of the "draft Coolidge" movement, though heated dis cussions on the issue were re ported by Daily Tar Heel special under-cover operatives. In an exclusive interview yes terday afternoon, Mayne Al bright, president of the student, union, declared that he was pre pared to stump the state for his favorite, Franklin D. .Roosevelt. With similar manifestations coming from other campus lead ers it is increasingly evident that "as the Tar Heel goes, so goes the nation," will be the by word as the nation's political leaders gather.
