port only those organizations
and institutions over which the
business office of the Univer
sity has control, and for which
set fees are charged at the time

bership and fees are not com
pulsory, such as the German
club, Di and Phi, etc.

sity. After this year, only one
student member will be appoint
ed as the president of the stu
dent body will serve on the
board.

receive no salaries for their ef-
f 4-o omtt ivirtili-Mol

sations concerned in the exam
ination. PAINTING OF DEAN

ALBERT KEISTER
SHOWS FAIRNESS
OF INCOME TAX
Greensboro Professor Tells N. C.
Club It Is Ideal Source
Of Revenue.
Stressing the importance of
income taxes as a source of rev
enue in the United States, Dr.
Albert S. Keister, professor of
economics
at North Carolina
college, addressed
the North
Carolina club Monday evening.
IltJ iiHXllie LuA IS Lilt? IHUat
practically ideal of taxes," he
said, "because of the ability of
f
Umal" Tt mav h raadilv seen.
he observed, that land and ad
valorem taxes may not always
fee fair, for, in times like the
' present, land is not bringing in!
have remained the same.
The North Carolina tax law
as it exists today was formulated
in 1921, the state depending
mostly upon the income tax and
leaving the land ta f or the city
and county governments. In
come tax,vhich netted the state
two million dollars, in the first
year had increased to eight mil
lion in 1927, but since then it has
declined each year.
Dr. Keister pointed out that
of these millions of dollars that
the income tax has brought the
state only twenty-two per cent
comes from individuals, the re
maining seventy-eight
coming
from the large corporations.
Of this seventy-eight per cent
from the corporations, forty per
cent comes from the tobacco
companies.
In concluding his discussion,
the economist mentioned several
changes which he thought should
be made in the matter of exemp
tions. He expressed the opinion
that married women should not
be exempted for the first thou
sand dollars since that would
allow couples where both hus
band and wife worked an ex
emptions on incomes above
three thousand dollars against
an exemption on incomes above
two thousand in families where
only the husband worked. He
also discussed the question of
double taxation and expressed
himself as not. opposing certain;
forms of it.

AUDIBLE LIGHT IS

DR, JOHN TAYLOR
General Electric Consulting En
gineer Shows Changing of
Light Beams Into Sound.
Dr. John Bellamy Taylor, con-
suiting engineer of the General
Electric company, demonstrated
how beams of light could be
changed into speeches, songs,
growls, and screeches Monday
night in Memorial hall before an
audience of "1600 people. By the
use of elaborate laboratory
equipment Dr. Taylor made va
rious kinds of light audible.
On being introduced by Presi
dent Graham, Dr. Taylor pre
faced his remarks with 'the
statement that the ear was a
much more selective organ than
the eye and could recognize
sounds of "much higher inten
sity of variation than the eye
could detect variations of light.
