The Fundamentalist Union, a discussion group organized on campus last May, gathered for its first srpen meeting Tuesday evening in .Graham Memorial, where it' was addressed , by Dr. Carl Taylor, lately deposed head of, the graduate school in State college. f Dr. Taylor asked that he be allowed to avoid discussion and to take up the broader issue of the relation between freedom of inquiry and public opinion, which, he declared, were in con stant conflict, the public repre sented by officialdom, admitting the right of freedom ofrinquiry only so long as it does not ma terially distrub the status quo. Under such a system, said the speaker, credulity becomes a vir tue and doubt a sin, and the im pact of new ideas on society as slight as the time when the ac tivities of physical science were restricted by the church and state. Open Discussion Taylor limited his remarks to a half -hour, after which the meeting was thrown open to dis cussion. It was commonly re marked that schools over the country are willing to permit in quiry along- narrow academic or broadly philosophical grounds, but are inclined to hedge on mat ters touching the- material in terests of the community. In addition - several faculty members, the following students participated in the discussion: Lawrence Flinn, Vernon Ward, W. M. Hayes, Duncan, Proctor, Ervid Ericson, and Slate. Advisory Committee Formed By Graham President Frank P. Graham has appointed a faculty commit tee of nine to advise him on mat ters of University policy throughout this year. This com mittee does not hold regular ses sions, but meets at the request of the president, when hp has a question to discuss. The' com mittee for this year consists of the following members of the faculty: Allan W. Hobbs, dean of the college" of liberal arts; Herman Glenn Baity, dean of the school of engineering; D.D. Car roll, dean of the school of com merce; W. W. Pierson. dean of the graduate -school, and acting head of the department of his tory ; James Munsie Bell, dean of the school of applied science; Maurice Taylor Van Hecke, dean of the school of law ; William Chambers Coker, Kenan Profes sor of botany; Dr. William Mor ton Dey, head of the romance language department ; and t)r. Thomas J. Wilson, registrar of the University. CHAPEL , HILL, N. C FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1931 Buildings Department Denies Sale Of Paddles Encourages Hazing , 0 Manager Burch Declares Thatx Paddles Are Sold for Fraternal Usage and Not in Conflict With School Rules. o- . Open forum letters in recent issues of the Daily Tar Heel have made statements charging the buildings , office, a depart ment of the University, with the practice of manufacturing pad dles for the purpose of hazing in 'violation of rules and laws of the University and the state. Such an accusation, which the author of one of the letter asked to be proven or denied, if false," is a grave detriment to the morale of the students and the ; administration. With a non partisan and civic attitude, the Daily Tar Heel has directed an investigation in order to present the actual facts, whatever they be. , The letter to the editor, pub lished in the Open Forum col umn Sunday, October 4, opens with the following statement of the attitude of the writer, who signs himself "W. "An open letter in the Daily Tar Heel of Thursday, October 1, leads us to believe that the buildings de partment of the University is making wooden paddles for sale . '.. . for the infliction of pain." The letter concluded with the challenge that "We" (obviously, the students) "would like to know the truth." He infers that the University seems to be ac tually sponsoring the making of the-paddles. 1 . The statements Jn , the first lettefr, published on Thursday, October 1, in which letter "W. P." bases his own writing, are as follows: "Theyf (referring to the buildings department) "have been sort of working on the sly," and there is a broad insinuation that the work has resulted in "the most recent ac complishment of the depart ment." This accomplishment, the letter boldly accuses, is "the making of paddles which are to be sold." The writer is mistaken in saying-the work has been slyly Mrs. M.D: Kemp, '26, Dies In Petersburg Mrs. Malcolm D. Kempi '26, died last Wednesday in . Peters burg, Virginia. Mrs. Kemp stu died here for her A. B. degree while her husband vwas doing graduate work in the medical schools Later, she was employed in the bureau of correspondence, instruction of the extension di vision of the University. In 1928 Mrs. Kemp left the extension bu reau to teach in the high sch6ol at Hurleyyille, N. Y. At the timfe of her demise she was liv ing in Winston-Salem where her husband is connected with the health center of that city. Additional Pledges Kappa Sigma : Dave Ison, At lanta, Ga. ; J. C.

SOPHOMORES The authors of the three letters in Speaking the Campus Mind written by members of the sophomore class accusing the president and executive committee of unfairness in hold ing the election of dance leaders, are asked to meet with the president and executive committee tonight at 8:00 o'clock in Graham Memorial. At this -time they will be given the opportunity to prove their accusations against the executive committee arid the president, and to. show just grounds why there should be another election. done, for there has been no ef fort to conceal the enterprise. The paddles are openly stored in the stock room, from which they are publicly sold, in apparent disregard for any ethical rela tionship to the laws and rules against hazing. "W. P." imme diately detected what he seems to believe to be the flaw in the ethics of someone somewhere, for the buildings department is certainly a part of the Univer sity. The author of the demands for explanations .expresses sur prise "that the University seems to be , actually sponsoring the making of implements to be used for the said purposes." These purposes he refers to as "the mild form of hazing com monly known as 'initiations.' "He calls, attention to his belief that these mild forms have been tolerated by the University for some years, in spite of the fact that hazing of students is ille gal in North Carolina." Investigation on the part of the Daily Tar Heel in its search for the true facts of the cage has proved that on October 6 there rested in the stock and supply room at the buildings of fice approximately 150 to 200 of the finished manufactured pad dles. They were admittedly made in the carpentry depart ment of the buildings depart ment, under the ' supervision of W. G. Murray, carpentry fore man of the plant, and P. L. Burch, general manager. The paddles, which were awaiting sale, were of the standard vari ety. Special orders, however, in which there are certain specifi cations, such as holes .. bored neatly and symmetrically in the face, or requirements of a thick er and sometimes wider board, are often filled, admits Murray, supervisor of manufacture. , The standard paddle, which (Continued on last page) Gwyn, Giduz Attend Educational Meeting Professors Minor Gwyn and Hugo Giduz left this morning for Winston-Salem, where they will attend a meeting of the North Carolina 'Education As sociation.

Bryan,; Joseph Sugarman, and A. J. Buttitta Submit Name The Book Market' The result of the contest to name the bookshop in the Y. M. C. A. building further substan tiated the epigram that "all great minds run in the same channel," for the three successful contest ants submitted the successful title, "The Book Mart." The book shop committee decided to change this to "The Book Market." ' , The victors in the contest were T. C. Bryan, a graduate student; Joseph Sugarman, a freshman; and A. J. Buttitta, a townsman. Since three individuals were victors, the prize will be $2.50 in books for each of three men instead of the five dollars in books that would have accrued to a lone winner. Other titles that the commit tee considered that ranked highly, were "The Gargoyle Book Shop," "The Venturer Book Shop," The Pine Burr Book Shop," "The Swan Book Shop," "The Golden Book Shop," "The Glory Hole," (hiding places of the treasurers of medieval monks , "The Book Haven," "The Book Inn," "The Book Stall," "The Book Den," and "The Book Shelf."

At the first meeting of the Student Forum held in the ban quet room of Graham Memorial Wednesday night, it was unani mously recommended by the sixty student representatives present that the game room be left open until 11:00 o'clock week nights and 12:00 o'clock Fridays and Saturdays. This was the first meeting of the group, which was called to make suggestions as to the uses of the building, and to discuss campus-wide problems. The group is composed of ninety stu dents, elected last week. There is approximately one representa tive in the forum for ever;y thirty students. The president of the student union is presid-, ing officer. Beatty Rector, Spec McClure, and Wallace Case were elected at the meeting to represent the . forum on the board of directors of Graham Memorial. Discussion centered about the suggestion of a radio for the lounge and glee club and or chestra concerts for student en- tertainment. There was no an swer given to the query as to whether dancing should be per mitted in the lounge. The ques tion is being left to the board of directors.' It was decided that the next meeting should take place two weeks from the last, ' and a regular meeting date to be set at that time. Thirteen dormitories and twenty-one fraternities had rep resentatives at the first forum meeting.

"A frater nity man should not only be loyal to that order but his class as well:" The main thing he would have the freshmen remember was that the University is big ger than any fraternity or class on the Hill and that the welfare of the student's class and school is worth very much and probably more than merely being loyal to a fraternity. Playmakers Present 'Saturday's Children' The first Playmakers produc tion of the season, Saturday's Children was given in the Caro lina Playmakers theatre last night.
