ARSENIC IN BODY
OF PICRm CHILD
Professor Testifies at Lexington
Trial of Mother Accused of
Murdering Daughter.
Dr. J. T. Dobbins, of the Uni
versity chemistry department,
testifying in the trial of Mrs.
Lola Pickett, at Lexington, stat
ed that he had found approxi
mately one-fifth of a grain of
arsenic in each of two speci
mens taken -from the body of
Mrs. Pickett's daughter, Eliza
beth, six, who died under very
suspicious circumstances recent-
Under the cross examination
of the defense, Dr. Dobbins out
lined in detail each step in ' the
analysis of specimens sent him
October 7. Some rat poison
found at the home of the' de
fendant was also analyzed by
Dr. Dobbins and was found to
contain arsenic. The evidence
vvas admitted in both .cases over
the strenuous objections of the
defense counsel.
This testimony came as one
of the high points in the trial of
Mrs. Pickett for the murder of
her daughter and proved to be
a strong point for the state's
prosecution.

Stolen Clapper
Of Church Bell
Located In Frat
Clapper Was Stolen So That
Students Might Sleep on
Easter Morning. ,
A rusty bell clapper was found
not long ago in the cellar' of a
fraternity house. That old
piece of metal, when its history
was Teviewed, showed that some
students were not affected by
the charms of bells at least not
prior to the advent of the More-head-Patterson
chimes with
their clear, joyous notes.
: It seems that a church in-the
village was accustomed over
four ' years ago to observe Eas
ter with n early morning serv
ice. In addition, the occasion
was celebrated by a merry ring
ing of a bell, early oh, ever so
early in the morning. ,
Nearby was a fraternity
house, and with the taste of all
Carolina students, the members
liked to have T;heir Sunday
morning repose in full quantity.
That was something the obser
vation of Easter by bell would
not; permit. r
With "that bell shall not ring
tomorrow" spirit, two' members
of the group ascended to the
top of the tower and took the
clapper away. Whether it was
a primp or not failed to enter
their minds; they wanted Eas
ter morning in "its undiminish
ed purity" -and quiet.
'And that bell did. not ring on
the morrow. .

NUMBER 129
FACULTY POLICIES
WILL BE STUDIED
BY STUDENT BODY
Administrative Plans to Be Sub
mitted to Student Committee
Before Action Is Taken.
In answer to a petition pre
sented him a few days ago by
the president of the student
body, President Frank Graham
has agreed that all proposed
faculty or administrative plans
which affect student class room
work be submitted to the Stu
dent Activities committee be
fore definite 'action is taken.
This agreement was revealed by !
Mayne Albright, president of
the student body, yesterday
'This movement comes in re
sponse to a growing feeling of
student interest in class room
regulations and in proposed
methods of conducting classes,
arranging course requirements,
and revising grading systems,
it has been stated. By President
Graham's action a definite group
of students composing the Stu
dent Activities committee will
consider with the faculty such
policies and will make any . rec
ommendations it thinks ; neces
sary. In the . past administrative
plans have come from faculty
meetings ; and departmental
heads acting with the benefit of
the, reactions of the student
body to their proposed plans. A
first step in this movement was
taken last year when in a joint
meeting studentsand faculty
members discussed class ; at
tendance. ,
The benefits of this arrange
ment, the president of the stu
dent body said, will be to in
crease student interest in class
matters further, to find student
reaction before the actual ex
periment is made, and to have a
student group offer constructive
criticism of the proposals.
