"Dean Andy" remained on the stage throughout the whole as sembly program. The speaker described tiis high ideals and irreproachable character. He said of him, "He is one of these good people who are that way without having to tell others .about it, and he has a sounder knowledge of human problems than many of you men who will nut of this 'Univerjdtv with a go out of this University with a four-year degree. No one knows," declared Mangum, constructive work that this ! simple man has done during his ears of faithful servitude."

CIVIL ENGINEERS MAKE STUDY OF P.RPYKVK" DAM GTTT?. vAuuu kjm.. I)r. W. F. Prouty Explains to Engineering-Geology Class Advan tages of Site. The senior civil engineers visited the reservoir site on Morgan's creek Thursday after noon as a part of their labora tory work in engineering-geology. Dr. W. F. Prouty, who is acting as consulting geologist for the construction, explained the geological conditions which effect the stability and the water tightness of the dam. The geology class also visited the earlier , proposed dam-site on Price's creek which is about a quarter of a mile to the south of the present location. The two sites were compared as to rela tive advantages from both geol ogical and engineering stand points. At the present time the foun dation has been completed for a distance of about fifty feet jnorthward from the flume. Work is now being concentrated to ward the north end of the foun dation of the main dam, so that the pouring of concrete may be gin at the earliest possible . date. The dam across Morgan's creek is to have a total length qf about ?6Q feet. The main "concrete dam has a length, of about 385 feet, the earth fill and concrete we portion a length of ninety five feet, and the earth fill por tion a length of 280 .feet. The main concrete portion of the dam has a spillway above the foundation of the cut-off wall. This portion of the dam has a foundation -of about thirty-six feet.

Music Club To Have Program On Wagner The works of Richard Wagner will be the subject taken up at the Community club's music de partment meeting at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon in the choral room of the Hill music hall.

Tristram and Isolde, to be broadcast by the Metropolitan opera company in New York to morrow, will furnish the basis for this afternoon's program, while several other works of Wagner are to be featured. dr. valentine to mam scientific wfMMegts Research FUow in Zoology Will Explore (Cayes for Species Of Blind Beetles: Dr. J.

Tn- " . , I sect me is now sxuaiea irom tne standpoint of organic develop ment. Study of various organs in the body more accurately re veals specialization than the ex ternal character, Dr. Valentine states. Valentine will visit caves of, Tennessee which have never been explored biologically, and ! he expects to enter many which have not been searched by ge ographers. Saltpeter mines which developed into caves dur ing the Civil war will also be en tered. Every possible spot where the, rare beetles may be found will be searched. Little cave-life is expected to be dis covered in Florida, where under ground streams have under mined and flood the cayes. The beetles for which Dr. Valentine will search are thought to have entered the cav erns during the last great ice age in order to escape .extinc tion. Adaption to the constant temperature and humidity of the dark places rendered them un able to return to resume the forms of their cousins ,of the outer crust. In the . process of j evolution, eyes and optic nerves, useless in the dark were discard ed in favor of long, sensitive hairs, protruding from all parts of the body. ' The expedition is personally , sponsorea1 by Dr. Valentine as part of his work as a fellow of the .national .research founda tion, endowed by the Rockefel ler interests. It will be com pleted within the .month.

A. of the University of North Caro lina stands agreed that: . " ! I. The Honor System is a feasible and highly desirable tradition at the University of North Carolina. II. The Honor System, as such is lifeless unless it has the fullest cooperation of the student body. III. At present the Honor System is generally ignored, if not actually abused. IV. The Honor System can be made to function i proper measures are taken to revive its spirit. V. We suggest that President Mayne Albright call to gether a meeting of the following campus leaders and impress them with the importance of .their assuming the responsibilities of the System: 1. a. Members of the Student Council. b. Members of the Y. M. C A. Cabinets. c. Members of the Pi and Phi organizations. d. Presidents of the Dormitories. e. Presidents of the Fraternities. f. Officers of the Woman's Association. The group need not be limited to this number. Others . may be included if necessary. The puirppse of this group being not to become an organization in any sense of the word, but to become individuals who have as sumed the full responsibility of bringing to life the machinery of the Honor .System. 2. This group having ; first pledged themselves will go to their respective organizations and inform them of the movement to .revive the Honor System and will invoke their support. Further steps such as getting special chapel speakers and holding meetings for the purpose of fully acquainting the . student body again with the meaning of the Sys tem should be pursued by r this group under the direction of President Albright. VI. The serious interest of this group in applying, the spirit of the Honor System without discrimination to all fellow students may .cause .disagreeable situations td .arise .temporarily but the inherent merit of the System warrants ,these possible .difficulties. VII. This is the only way that the Honor System can be brought to life. A: system has no appeal .until ,it be " ;cpmes identified with .personalities. If this group .meets, declares its unreserved .intention of following ;the code of the Honor System; if the Tar Heel will publicizethis,grbup,, the rest of the student: body will follow suit. ; VIII.

"Hardly a day passes that the newspapers do not carry a story 1 dealing with some new develop ment in science," he pointed out. j "Of course the story niust be I told in non-technical language, so the average man can under stand it. v "Recently the experiments in 'cotton, being conducted by Dr. j E. A. Cameron and N. W. j Ppckery received international ; publicity as the "result of stories 'which the 'news bureau sent Mr. Blakeslee. The Associated Press handled .the story in two ways, !,by wire and through its feature service, with illustrations. "There was a time," Madry ;said, "when scientists were re liuctant to make their findings available to the press, fearing that their reports would be mis interpreted or garbled and that such would .result in the ridicule of their colleagues. "In recent years that attitude has changed. Scientists now take the newspapers into their confidence, and in appreciation of this cooperation the news papers make every effort to see that scientific findings are cor rectly interpreted. It is now the general policy of press associa tioris and newspapers to submit to scientists advance copies of news stories, for approval as to facts, before the ' story is re leased for publication Y.
