VOLUME XL
CAROLINA WIDELY
MOWN IN NORTH
SAYSDRIDGE
Favorable Comment , Heard at
National Meeting of Student
Unions at Michigan. -
In his talk yesterday morn
ing in assembly Noah Good
ridge, manager of Graham
Memorial, described the national
meeting of student unions at
Ann Arbor, Michigan, which he
recently attended as a delegate.
Goodridge stated that al
though the student unions of
northern colleges were much
rger in structure than Gra
ham Memorial, none of them
surpassed it in suitability to
the needs of students. "Students
-of northern schools look . after
-the unions themselves under the
supervision of administrative
officers," he averred, "and what
is considered the highest office
on those campuses is that of
president of the student union.
"The thing that I was most
gratified to see at this confer
ence was the strong grip that
the University of North Caro
lina holds on the attention of
other colleges represented." To
illustrate Bis point, Manager
Goodridge mentioned his -meeting
with' an administrative of -rficer
of the University of Michi
gan who,' having visited Chapel
Hill a few years ago, declared
-that he would never forget the
efficacy of Orange county corn.
"That," said the speaker in' con
clusion, "is-sufficient evidence
that the University is known
elsewhere than in the south.
WH CAROLINA
CLUB WILL HEAR
JOHNSWJTONIGHT
Secretary of State Local Govern
ment Commission to Speak
On State Finances.
At the North Carolina club
meeting tonight, at 7 :30 o'clock
in the library room of the
department of rural social-economics,
Mr. C. M. J ohnson,
Secretary of the. North Caro
lina local government commis
sion, will speak on "Centralized
Administration of State and Lo
cal Finances in North Caro
lina.": In 1927 the State Legislature
enacted five major acts designed
to improve county government.
These laws dealt mainly with
fiscal affairs. There was creat
ed at that time a county govern
ment advisory commission to ad
minister the new laws, to ad
vise county officers about ' the
new laws, and to advise with
county officials generally.' These
laws were further improved in
1929. Still .other changes were
made in 1931, chief of which
was the substitution of a new
local government commission
for the old advisory commission.
Today North Carolina has the
most' advanced' county govern
ment laws in the United States.
Our state government has strong
supervision over county govern
ments. These improved county
government laws are largely the
result of the exhaustive re
searches in county government,
and advocacy of improved
county government, by the Uni
versity, of North Carolina, v -
Mr. Johnson is in charge of
the local government commis
sion and will explain the new
laws and functions of the com
mission. The club meetings
are open to the public.

posed resolutions thaf Josephus
Daniels should be drafted by the

for governor, that the purpose
of a college should be to prepare
the student to earn a living, that
the honor system, has been un
justly attacked, and that Judge
J ones should be censored for

lina college and chairman of the
southern regional committee of

ology at the University of Vir
ginia. Information on .comparisons
between southern and northern
and western professors respect
ive 'to annual salaries, teaching
loads, costs of living, attitude
toward doing research work, use
of leisure time, and an inquiry

poses of the study.

OF E. IL GRAHAM
Dey, Woollen, and Wilson Make
Up Acceptance Committee;
Portrait to Be Moved.
The portrait of the late presi
dent Edward Kidder Graham
was formally accepted Saturday
afternoon by a portrait com
mittee composed of Dr. W. M.
Dey, head of the romance lan
guage department, chairman;
Charles T. Woollen, business
manager of the University; and
Dr. Louis Round Wilson,- Uni
versity librarian. The picture
was a gift of the class pf 1926
and was painted by Clem Strud
wick, of Hillsboro.
In accepting the portrait, the
committee arranged for several
changes. The most conspicuous
will-be that it will be hung be
tween the two main doors of the
lounge of Graham Memorial in-
! stead of over the fireplace,where
it new hangs. Acting pnn
suggestions from the committee,
the artist will make minor
changes in the features of the
recent president. The committee
feels that shifting the position
of the portrait and placing per
manent lights about and below it
will display it to better advantage.

president of the class of 1920,
will attend the formal "presen
tation of the picture at the gen
eralalumni assembly January
on a 4- 4-: m oi.:
