Local Residents Ask
For Six-Inch Main To
Aid Fire Prevention
Following a fire which de
stroyed the vacant house of J.
W. Umstead this week and the
realization that a part of the
western section of the village is
served by a four-inch w water
main, residents of that part of
Chapel Hill have made appeals
to John Foushee, town mana
ger, to start a movement for the
installation of a six inch main
in that part of town.
The present main is thought
to be too small to furnish ade
quate fire protection. The four
inch main, running from the
Cameron avenue trunk line, sup
plies Pittsboro street, Vance
street, and McCauley street, and
the pressure is considered too
small to furnish proper protec
tion. In the appeals, Foushee has
been urged to take up the mat
ter with the board of aldermen
and theUniversity Consolidate
ed Service Plants, which supplies
the water. The town manager
and some of N the aldermen have
been conferring with J. S, Ben
nett, superintendent of the elec
tric and water division of the
service plants.

"Who wants

silver-tongued orator and auc
tioneer for the Book Market
sale in the Y lobby the last two
days at assembly period, wav
ing his arms frantically about
his head. "Forbidden Wine for
twenty cents, cheapest drink in
town," he spieled. "What am I
bid? What am'l bid?"
" Thus disported dignified R. B.
House, executive secretary of
the University, from his lofty
perch atop a table as he pro
claimed the extraordinary bar
gains offered in discarded books
of the circulation library and
old stock of the Bull's Head.
Around him gathered a group of
curious, grinning students, some
to buy, but 'most to loaf and
listen. Even passing professors
paused to laugh at the rapid line
of talk of this leather-lunged
barker.
"Who wants to', buy Good
Women for ten cents? You can't
go wrong on this. Twenty
cents? Here's a man who knows
a woman's worth. Now we have
wo volumes on Mahatma Gandhi,
the best dressed man in India,"
the auctioneer ,; blandly con
tinued, j
And so his persuasive sale's
talk went, offering up such bar
gains as a nice murder all done
up in a nice new binding for
fifteen cents,' or "perhaps it
was, "own the fifty greatest
men sold to this gentleman for
forty cents."

Education Professor Writing From Baghdad Describes His Trip
Through Egypt on Way to Iraq to Study Edu

o
Dr. Edgar Wallace Knight,
professor of education, who is at
present in Baghdad in the king
dom of Iraq, studying the Ira
quian educational system, re
ports amusing experiences about
his journey through Egypt,
which were reprinted in yester
day's Chapel Hill Weekly.
'You are expected to be en -

tery of Egypt as - you . enter
Alexandria," writes Dr. Knight.
"The tourist literature says,
so, and I walked down the
gangplank and declared myself
so enveloped. But it was not the
lure and mystery of Egypt that
enveloped me. Instead, I was
surrounded by dragomans and
Egyptian customs officials. I am
not now amazed that the Chil
dren of Israel made an effort to
leave Egypt or that they had dif
ficulty in leaving.

Angus McLean Is
Exponents Of
Former Governor, Although Never Graduated From This Institu
tion, Has Served on Board of Trustees for Twenty
Years and Is Vigorous Supporter.
- o - . .
Although he never received a
college education; himself, An
gus W. McLean, former govern
or of North Carolina, has stood
during many years as a bulwark
for the University in . times of
need.
He is one of the few men on
the board of trustees of the Uni
versity who was not graduated
from this institution. He was
in school here a short time
studying law, and when he left
in 1892, it was to take up his
life work against many ob
stacles. Despite - these handi
caps, he soon rose to a position
of prominence in his native town
of-Lumberton.
He had been practicing law a
few years before he was made
president of the Bank of Lum
berton. The bank in a short
time became one of the leading
institutions of the community.
Although most of his energies
were spent in this work McLean
was interested in other business
enterprises and was prominent
in the social and civic life of the
town.
A successful business man,
McLean is best known through
out the state for his political
ability and statesmanship. .His
first step in political circles was
the chairmanship of the Demo
cratic executive committee of
Robeson county. He continued
to serve the Democratic party

in various ways, taking part in
several . state . democratic con
ventions and playing a very
prominent part in the national
convention that nominated
Woodrow Wilson for the presi
dency. After the war he was
appointed director of the war
finance board, in which capacity
he served until 1920. In 1924
he was elected governor of North
Carolina.
During the time of his great
est political activity, McLean
was one of the foremost expon
ents of education, especially fe
male education, in the state.
Even though his own college
career had consisted of but a
short time in the University law
school, he said that every young
person should be given a chance
to educate himself. "But," as
he once stated, "if it is neces
sary to discriminate in the mat
ter of education, female education
is the most important and should
be given first consideration."
McLean has been a trustee of
the University since 1912, and
one of its most vigorous sup
porters. -His interest in female
education has been shown by, his
work for Flora McDonald col
lege. For more than fifteen
years he was a trustee of that
school, spending much of his
time and money in making the
college an active, valuable edu-
cational institution.

NUMBER 117
PHI RESOLUTION
CONDEMNS POWER
OF GERMAN CLUB
Petitions President Graham for
Faculty and Student Con
trol of Social Functions.
At a call meeting Thursday
night members and visitors of
the Phi assembly voted unani
mously in favor of a resolution
condemning the power of the
German club as unauthorized,
undemocratic, and contrary to
the principles of the University,
and petitioning the president of
the University to appoint a com
mittee of faculty members and
students to consider the' advis
ability of the selection of a new
body to schedule and regulate
all University dances.
Before any regular discussion
of the matter all editorials and
articles appearing in The Daily
Tar Heel within the period
since the law association dance
were read. The facts of the case
of the law association dance,
which has stirred this new
movement against this social
group, were related through
members of the association who
acted in various relations with
the German club officials in set
ting the hour of the dance and
other matters over which the
club has jurisdiction.
Speaker Edwin Lanier began
the discussion by reading a de
fense of the German club pre-
I pared by an official of that group
who set forth that the authority
vested in the club was delegated
to that body by a faculty com
mittee after social functions of
the University had incited criti
cism in the village and through
out the state for the manner in
which they were conducted.
Control over houseparties and
conduct after dances was de
claimed by the writer.
Various members of the as
sembly as well as visitors from
the Di senate expressed their
