Pffl WILL DISCUSS
GERMAN CLUB AT
SPECIALMEETING
.Assembly' Will Consider New
Proposal for Conducting
Dances Here.
The Phi assembly will meet in
a special session tonight at 9:00
o'clock in New. East building to
discuss the social dictatorship of
the German club and a method
for remedying what the organ
ization considers an unfair state.
The resolutions for debate
are as follows:
Whereas, We understand the
German club to be a small, self
selected group; and
Whereas, The German club
exercises authority over all Uni
versity dances ; and
Whereas, The German club,
for several years, has been se
lecting the commencement mar
siaalls; and
Whereas, The German club
suspends students from attend
ance on University dances be
fore giving such students a
hearing; therefore,
Be it Resolved, by the Phi as
sembly in a called meeting on
February 25, 1932: First, that
the exercise of such authority
"by such a group is unrepresen
tative, unfair, and contrary to
the democratic principles which
characterize student organiza
tien and activity at the Univer
sity of North Carolina; and
Second, -that the Phi assembly
earnestly petition the president
of the University to appoint a
committee of faculty members
arid students to carefully consid
er the advisability of creating a
iew group, composed of faculty
men appointed by the president
of the University and of stu
dents selected directly or in
directly by the student body,
"whose duty.it would be to
schedule and otherwise regulate
all University dances.
JANITORS' ASSOCIATION IS AMONG
MOST UNIQUE ORDERS ON CAMPUS
' ' -o
Organization, Which Schedules Regular Monthly Meetings With
Faculty Members and Student Leaders as Speakers, Has
Shown Interest in Campus and State Affairs.
' o-
Among the various organiza
tions on the campus, the Uni
versity janitors' association is
unique in that it is probably
the only order of its kind in the
United States. It was founded
in March, 1930, through the
combined efforts of the janitors
and the officials of the buildings
department. . Its . constitution
drawn up a month later stated
its aims as "achieving better co
operation between the authori
ties of. the University and the
janitors so as to increase their
usefulness and advancing the
moral standards and ideals of
the janitors."
Membership
Every janitor employed in
the University is eligible for
membership, and custom has re
quired participation in .the or
ganization. Business meetings
are scheduled for the first Tues
day of every month. Officers for
this year are Adolphus Clark, of
the library, president; Eugene
White, South building extension,
vice-president; James Harring
ton, of the Book Exchange, sec
retary ; and John Couch, of the
library, treasurer. Elliott Wash
ington, of Davie hall, is chair
man of the executive committee
which plans the programs for
the meetings and, is responsible
for the conduct and attitude of
the members. Dues of ten cents
a month are collected and used
to assist needy or ill members.
An important function of the
business meetings is the utiliza
tion of the privilege granted
the association to pass upon en
gaging and discharging fellow
workers. If a vacancy is to be
filled, the executive committee
has the power of submitting to
the buildings department a man
approved by the association. In
like manner the janitors are en-

time to make final consideration
of the advisability of employing
a commissioner before reporting
to the meeting of all members',
of the conference tomorrow and
Saturday.
Before leaving Dr. Hobbs
stated that he was in favor of

ment of - other members of the

pass unopposed
DR. WOLF WILL ADDRESS

room 214 Graham Memorial at

couraged to investigate the
causes of a dismissal. P. L.
Burch, of the buildings depart
ment, explains that this system
insures a more harmonious, con
tented, and trustworthy group
of workers.
Special Addresses
. Special meetings of the asso
ciation are called for the oppor
tunity of hearing addresses by
faculty and student leaders.
Among those who have spoken
to the organization are Presi
dent Frank Graham, Professor
E. J. Woodhouse, P. L. Burch,
Mayne Albright, and Jack Dun
gan. Dr. Howard W. Odum is
to talkvat a special 'gathering
early next month.
The association . has already
displayed great interest in the
affairs of the University and the
state. It commanded wide-spread
attention and favorable commenCT
with its contribution to the stu
dent loan fund. When Judge
John J. Parker was nominated
for the federal supreme court,
the janitors wrote to him ex
pressing their congratulations.
He responded by sending his
photograph which now hangs in
the meeting-hall of the organi
zation back of Memorial hall.
There is no trade-unionism in
the association. - It is based upoa
principles and ideals which will
result in - the mutual advantage
of the janitors and the Univer
sity. By talking to them as a
group, the buildings department
is able to discuss better meth
ods of work and problems arisT
ing Within the labor staff of the
University. It is in the main
a good-will organization which
has improved the standard of
the janitors' effort by permit
ting them to share in the forma
tion of policies and plans.

UNIVERSITY CAMPUS OF 1917 WAS
BEEHIVE OF PRO-WAR ACTIVITIES
o
Editorial Policy of Collegiate Press Before World War Presented
Striking Contrast With Journals Today on
Questions of War and Teace.
-o
With world conditions now
analogous to those of the period
immediately preceding the
World War, college publications
and The Daily Tar Heel are
voicing national collegiate senti
ment throughout the United
States advocating world peace
and disarmament, but iri 1917
The Tar Heel did a full share
of spreading propaganda neces
sary to promotion of a war
spirit.
In January, 1917, while
statesmen fretted at repeated
outrages from the Central Pow
ers, an excited air of imminent
conflict overhung every Ameri
can campus. The military germ
was instilled into the blood of
Carolina students who antici
pated battles as glorious as visit
ing lecturers had promised.
January 13, The Tar Heel re
corded that a petition demand
ing a standard course in mili
tary training for the University
had been signed by 344 students.
War talk was prevalent and
eagerness for military prepara
tion.under army instruction was
expressed. The passage of a
measure providing for war in
struction soon transformed the
campus into veritable military
camp. Resultant military life
was in sharp contrast with the
freedom known to the peaceful
campus of today.
Editorials on Training

military training was "up to stu

Plans For Financing
Conf erence Discussed
The committee on vocational
guidance of the Blue Ridge con
ference met yesterday to con
sider "plans for the raising of
funds for the progression of the
work sponsored by the com
mittee. Dean F. F. BradshaW,
Harry F. Comer, and R. B.
House, all of the University, and
Dean E. L. Cloyd, of State col
lege, are on the committee.
Since the funds of the Univer
sity and other institutions,
which have formerly borne the
expense of operations, have been
forced to curtail this phase of
its service to the state, the com
mittee has been forced to seek
funds from other sources. The
members were in session
throughout the day devising
petitions to be presented to
foundations interested in sup
porting this type of work.
PLANS MADE FOR
AUGUST INSTITUTE
The summer institute com
mittee of the North Carolina
Congress of Parents and Teach
ers met here yesterday to ar
ranges tentative program for
the fifth annual institute which
will take place August 15 to 20.
Members of the committee are:
Mrs. C. O. Burton, chairman, of
Greensboro; Mrs. Raymond Bin
ford, Guilford college; Mrs. J.

ment would supply the equip
ment if Carolina had a sufficient
enrollment. An editorialized
symposium of faculty opinion
advocating military training
was presented March 1, with the
editor concluding with a blunt
"How about it, Carolina?" Stir
ring . stories of life at the mili
tary camp at Plattsburg and
jubilant announcements that a
new law made Carolina men
eligible to free attendance to the
camp were printed.
A streamer headline March 24
told that "four hundred Caro
lina men report for military
training." Students crowded
old Commons hall to learn mili
tary tactics. In a few days
dormitories were turned into
military barracks, Swain hall
became a mess hall, old Memor
ial hall was a government camp
office, and students began their
instruction by throwing up
trenches in the vicinity of the
Raleigh road and stringing
barbed wire entanglements
across Emerson field.
"The University of North'
Carolina has never failed its
country in time of need," edi
torialized The Charlotte Obser
ver, recalling the Civil y War
when professors and students
abandoned college for the battle
field. The Tar Heel comment
ed, "the college man has already
proved to his country that he is
eager to be of service."
