McKee, member of the senior cabinet of that organization, represented the University at the eleventh quadrennial convention of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions in Buffalo, N. Y., December 30 to January 3. Over 3,000 delegates from educational institutions in America and nations in Europe, Asia, and Africa attended. Opposes War The convention went on record as whole-heartily opposed to war. In the resolution it. stated its advocation of the abolition of all military schools, military training in all educational insti tutions, and the Reserve Officers Training Corps. This sweep would include the present sys tem of military training at land grant colleges. A palpable result of this senti ment was expressed in the reso lution to send fifteen delegates to urge. President Hoover and Senator William E. Borah of Idaho to place a student upon the American delegation to the disarmament conference which will convene in Geneva, Switzer land, February 2. These stu dents were granted an inter view with the president yester day. " " Convention Sections The convention was divided into five sections : platform speeches, round table discus sions, pageants and plays, inter national teas, and' denomina tional meetings. Kirby Page, who spoke before the University last fall, deplored the present uprooting of humanity, particu larly in Russia. T. Z. Koo, leader of Chinese students in thought and action, delivered a critical analysis on world con ditions with special reference to (Continued on last page) COMER DISCUSSES SELF-HELP WORK X M. C. A. Secretary Issues Sec ond Plea for Loan Fund Contributions. In discussing the self-help situ ation in regard to the personal needs of students, Harry F. Comer, of the Y. M. C. A., stated in assembly yesterday that, al though it was the purpose of the self-help bureau to keep open the maximum number of jobs for students, the demand for self-help work has greatly de creased. In conjunction with Dean F. Bradshaw's talk on the pre vious day, Comer urged students to discuss their financial prob lems with members of the ad ministrative departments before dropping out of the University. He also issued another plea for contributions toward the loan funds. "The loan fund is a pret ty good investment," declared the speaker. "In fact, I know of no better savings bank." Comer declared that the-present economic crisis was not with out its advantages. He explained that, in response to the gregari ous instinct of misery loving company, it is slightly possible that we may once more attain the fellowship that used to be so evident on this campus.

KNOW YOUR (EDITOR'S NOTE: In the same vein in which a survey of University courses was presented before the holidays, the Dailv Tar IM this issue a comprehensive summary U1 every citizen of the University to become better acquainted with the policies and systems of operation of his service organizations.) UNIVERSITY Y.M. C. A. -r . '. .But tnree years after the founding the first Y. M. C. A. student organizations at- the Universities of Michigan and Virginia in 1857, the Y was es tablished at the University of North Carolina, and except for the trying period following the Civil War, it has operated con tinuously ever since. The backbone of the organiza tion is the cabinet system which provides for leadership under the direction of the senior and sophomore cabinets and brings into the control of the organiza tion participation by a larger number of students. The four officers of the senior cabinet with the members and commit- tees are responsible for the pol icy and leadership of the entire organization: Executive berths have been filled by a campus election, but under the new Y constitution, the election will in the future be open only to ac tive Y members. The vice president of the senior organiza tion oversees the activities of the freshman friendship coun cil, which' is composed of first year men who ha ve previously identified themselves with Hi-Y or prep school Y work. Rooms in Y For their services, the stu dent officers of the Y receive no monetary recompensation. Of ficers of the cabinets and -the editor of the , Carolina Hand book, published by the associa tion, may room free of charge in the Y building. The selection of the persons to occupy the five rooms provided is left to the discretion of the senior cabinet and it is assumed that occupants are self-help students. In the event that officers do not use the rooms, other members of the cabinet fill these vacancies. No organization of any . na ture pays rental fees for space occupied in the building. The Book Exchange, which is located at the back of the building, was originally a direct product of the Y, and was founded as a campus service institution. It is now operating independently. The major divisions of the prograiri of the Y include devo tion and worship ; community welfare and service ; educational growth in moral and spiritual lines; field practice and training in organizations ; wide fellow ship through relation to world movements ; a clearing house for other religious organizations. These six aims of the extensive program are under the major McHale Transfers C. J. McHale, head of the cir culation department of the Uni versity library, moved during the holidays to Washington, D.C., where he has accepted a posi tion as librarian of a recently, es tablished branch of the Washing ton public library. Attention Called The Chapel Hill Credit Association calls the attention of the students to the fact that the practice of requesting the business houses of town to cash large checks is essentially requesting a five to ten day loan without interest or security. It usually requires from five to ten days for the collection of a check on an out-of-town'bank. This kind of request is un necessary since either the Bank of Chapel HiU or the Uni versity will accept such checks for coUection and pay the cash as soon as the check has been cleared. UNIVERSITY of campus institutions with the idea control of the students them selves. Composition of Staff The employed staff of the Y. M. C. A. composed of an execu tive secretary, a self-help secre tary and a freshman secretary stands in the same relationship to the student officers and com mitteemen of the Y as does a poach to the athletic teams. The executive secretary and the freshman secretary avail them selves: for counsel and guidance and give full time to training and working out more intricate de tails of management and leader ship; The self-help secretary is in charge of the self-help bu- reau which assists, needy stu- dents in obtaining jobs. The latter organization is supported partially by the University and by free-will contributions from students, faculty and interested friends of the institution. Though formerly it was sup ported by the University alone, a great portion of the burden of financing the operation of the bureau has been assumed by the latter groups. Free-Will Contributions Student funds, which are real ized through free-will contribu tions, have been decreasing with the appearance of added activi ties. Less than one thousand dollars goes toward the support of the bureau and the remainder of the revenue of the associa tion is spent in operation, up keep of the building, office sup plies and postage. No money from the student fund is spent financing deputa tion trips, and except in rare instances, student delegates to Y conventions and to Blue Ridge pay, their own expenses. One trip a year is payed for by the association to the secretary at the Blue-Ridge conference and last year the leader of the dele- . gation to Buffalo was given part ' expenses. Any active member of the Y is eligible to office in the organ ization, irregardless of religious beliefs. The president under the new constitution of the organi zation adopted last fall, serves as co-ordinator student member ship and the faculty-town board and professorial staff. By the same constitution the election of all officials come one week be fore the campus spring election. Active membership is defined as participation, in the program of the Y through financial sup port and attendance at meet ings.

To Student Checks To Sing Here it! tjJMMIMIHHIIIHI M MJ il riSIrfhJ i W i MHll&ffgaWWWwEIr - Mme. Amelita Galli - Curci, famed Italian coloratura soprano, will present a concert in Memor ial hall, January 27, under the sponsorship of Phi Mu Alpha, music fraternity. E. GALLI-CURCI CHARMS HEARERS IN MANYNATIONS Appearance of Famous Soprano Here January 27 Sponsored By Phi Mu Alpha. Madame Amelita Galli-Curci, world famous .coloratura so prano who will be heard in Me morial hall, January 27, under the auspices of Phi Mu Alpha, music fraternity, has been the center, of more excitedly enthu siastic scenes than probably any other living singer. America, her adopted land, was not the first to be charmed by her voice. Italy, Egypt, South America, Russia, Spain and Central had all fallen under her spell before she came to take America by storm. Galli-Curci made her debuj; in her 'teens in Rigoletto at Trani, Italy. In her first number, an aria, she so captivated it that re peated calls for her were made. The news spread to Rome and from then on her success was as sured. Triumphs in America Following her tour of Europe, Russia and South America, she began her series of Jtriumphs in America. Her debut in Chicago proved a sensation surpassing any event ever witnessed in this country. There and at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, her -operatic successes were many. From there she be gan a tour in this country which endeared her to the hearts of every lover of music. Time af ter time she was recalled for re turn engagements, despite over whelming demands from abroad. In 1924, for the first time, she left America for an extended tour of the' British Isles, and Australia and New Zealand. During this tour she sang over sixty-eight concerts. Her next great tour was that of the Ori ent, where as elsewhere she met with great success. She com pleted another tour of the Brit ish Isles before returning to America for her present series of concerts. No Chapel There will be no regular as sembly tomorrow. Dean D. D.
