James S. Manning Has Fought For
Rights Of Carolinians Since 1907
o -
Prominent State Politician, Member of the First Four-Year Class
After Re-Opening of University, Is Executive Com
mitteeman of Board of Trustees.
For thirty-three years a trus
tee of the University and now a
member of; the executive .com
mittee of the board of trustees,
James S. Manning of Raleigh is
widely known as one who has
rendered justice and fought for
the rights of North Carolinians,
both in the courts and on the
floors of the state legislature.
Together with Dr. J. M. Man
ning of Durham, Judge Francis
D.. Winston, and Judge Robert
W. Winston, all of who have be
come prominent in the life of
the state, J. S. Manning was
one of -the two pairs of brothers
o graduate in 1879 as members
of the first four-year class after
the re-openiner of the Univer
sity in 1875. He was one of the
group of alumni recently elected
to Phi Beta Kappa, there being
no chapter of the, honorary fra
ternity here during his college
career.
State Senator
Manning began the practice
of law in Durham in 1883. He
was' elected to the state house of
representatives in 1907, and in
1909 he became state senator.
From 1909 to 1916 he served as
a justice on the North Carolina
Supreme Court, resigning upon
his election as state attorney
general in 1916. He was re-

'Trashy' Magazines, Survey Shows
-0 '
Students , Prefer National Weeklies, According to Results Ob
tained in Check on Three Local Stores. Having
Variety of Magazines for Sale.
. o
Members of the University
faculty, and not students crave
the so-called "trashy" magazines
sold in Chapel Hill. Students
prefer the national weeklies.
This information came in a sur
vey of what students and fac
ulty members read conducted in
three local magazine stores.
Operators of the magazine
stands, which display a large
number of the contemporary
periodicals, stated that students
avoided stories usually termed
"trash" and magazines called
"pulps" (so named from the
cheap paper on which they are
printed) . These magazines, it
is said, are profitable in their
sale to townspeople and mem
bers of the faculty.
The national weeklies, Liber
ty, Collier's, and Saturday Even
ing Post, are popular with the
students, while The American
Magazine is the most widely de
manded monthly publication.
Motion picture magazines are
widely read by the student body
which averages a movie attend
ance of two and one-half shows
a week. These magazines are
also favored by the faculty.
Review of Reviews, Harper's,
Scribner's, and American Mer
cury, considered magazines of
the better class, are sold to stu
dents and faculty members

elected in 1920 and served until
1925. He was president of the
Wake county bar association
from 1916 to 1920. '
While attorney general, Man
ning drafted a bill for the regula
tion of bus traffic in the state.
The bill attracted wide notice
and has proven successful in its
operations. Provisions were
made for the taxation of busses
on their net receipts, compulsory
insurance to cover loss of prop
erty and life due to accidents,
and examinations for all bus
drivers before receiving their
licenses.
In State Politics
For years an important figure
in state politics, Manning is a
loyal Democrat. In 1930 he was
campaign manager of Josiah W.
Bailey in his successful contest
with Senator F. M. Simmons for
the office of United States sena
tor. He was in 1928 head of the
Democratic party machinery as
chairman of the advisory com-
Lmittee.
He has been a loyal trustee of
the University, and in public
life he has always been an in
fluential proponent of the in
stitution. His son, Colonel John
M. Manning of Durham, is also
a trustee.
Students, Read
equally, while students buy the
majority of news magazines.
Love magazines and sex stor
ies are taboo as far as students
are concerned, the storekeepers
say. Their sale is virtually lim
to the negroes of the town.
Members of the student
body, it has been observed, ridi
cule the detective story, refuse
action thrillers, and seldom de
mand the weird, supernatural,
horrible, or pseudo-scientific ar
ticles. At one stand practically
no students buy action stories,
but the clerks admitted a pro
fitable sale to University instruc
tors. Another storekeeper com
mented that the "trashy" maga
zines were bought chiefly by
faculty members and townspeo
ple, student purchases being al
most negligible. The third es
timated that his sales of cheap
magazines were practically even
ly divided between students and
faculty and townspeople.
Miss Co-ed prefers The Wo
man's Home Companion and
Vogue and, with all sophistica
tion, avoids the "love" maga
zines. She7 purchases The
American Magazine frequently,
and, for her humor, relies upon
College Humor, ignoring The
New Yorker which the men stu
dents prefer more than all oth
ers of the same type.
Margaret Powell Becomes

a senior , in the University, au
tomatically, became president of
the Woman's association at the
beginning of the spring quar
ter, filling .the; unexpired term
of Gabrielle McColl, who grad
uated last quarter and failed to
return to Chapel Hill. Miss
Powell served as vice-president
under Miss McColl.
