C SATUKDAY, APRIL 9, 1932 News Bureau Serves To Interpret Activities-Of University To State ; -o- . ' Practically Every Item Concerning the Institution Appearing in Publications Outside of Chapel Hill Is Work of Division Headed by R. W. Madry. To interpret to the state the manifold and diversified activ ities of the University is "the guiding aim of the University news bureau. Practically every item concerning the University which appears in a publication outside of Chapel Hill is the5 work of the bureau. Whether it be the announcement of an important scientific discovery or a notice of class elections, the news bureau serves to acquaint the state at large with the in timacies of the University. In its constant relations with forty-five daily North Carolina newspapers the news bureau stands squarely upon the con cept that the state is entitled to all legitimate University news. It has always maintained that suppression of news is more in jurious than publication, and that both sides of every story must be advanced' to lend sig nificance to the statement. Madry Is Director The bureau is organized around Robert W. Madry, the director who is assisted to by i ' j j j t i . i two part-time scuaents m tne gathering and dispatching of news. Much of the copy is ob tained through the columns of The Daily Tar Heel, but the bureau practices reciprocity in that it frequently covers un usual events for both itself and the campus daily. The faculty cooperates with the bureau by sending its technical news, and the personal contact of the staff with the campus accounts for the balance of the bureau's ma terial. Mimeographed sheets are mailed every day to all daily state papers, the subject mat '" m m m " ' " m ' r mm - ' ter oi which includes all cam pus news, invents ot particular interest to the south are sent to all1 leading southern journals, while a national mailing list is maintained for news of nation wide importance. The bureau also sends out stories to all weekly papers throughout the state. Wherever information concerning the University is di rected, itr is written in a spirit of frankness and fair play which is calculated to bring the most favorable results . for the institution. Begun by Professor University publicity had its beginnings over 'twenty - five years, ago when a professor of journalism cooperated with a few students in 'corresponding with a dozen daily papers. Pres ident Frank Graham was en gaged in this type of work dur ing his ..undergraduate, days. With the World War it was clearly realized that one type writer and a desk were insuf ficient f or the growing needs of the bureau. From 1918 to 1919 Madry served as the first full King's Daughters' Meeting The King's. Daughters will hold their birthday meeting at 3:30 p. m. Tuesday at the home of Mrs. R. B. Lawson. Every member should bring as many pennies as she is years old. Mrs. Gardner Visits Son Mrs. O. Max Gardner was in Chapel Hill for a short time yes terday to visit her son Ralph, University freshman, who has been confined to the infirmary with a severe cold. time publicity director of the University. He was succeeded in 1919 by Lenoir Chambers, and two years later bv Louis Graves who combined news bu reau activities with the teach ing of journalism. In 1923, Madry, following European and Metropolitan newspaper work, returned to Chapel Hill to devote . his en tire time to the news bureau. As the University enjoyed its most prosperous years durinsr the twenties, so did the activity of the news bureau play an im portant role in its expansion and popularity throughout the state. The bureau itself enlarged, at one time consisting of a force of five publicity men. Active in Sports Sports is one of the chief spheres of the bureau's activity. Through personal sketches of the University athletes and a constant stream of publicity on the teams, the bureau has focus ed attention of the sport-mind ed public on Carolina's athletics. An important spirit of good-will has been built up by the prac tice of entertaining sports writ ers during football games and making every effort to avoid the customary confusion and dis comfort encountered by the gentlemen of the press. The state press has shown its appreciation of director Madry's efforts in singular fashion. Two years ago he was accorded the mythical position . of publicity director on the all-state football team, an unprecedented honor in newspaper circles. One sports writer took occasion to remark that "If there were a Nobel prize for University publicity, Bob Madry would certainly be the logical candidate." -Leading Organization The University news bureau is generally conceded to be the leading organization of its kind in the i south. Countless trib utes and testimonials to its ex cellence have been received from southern editors. In national journalistic circles it is also con sidered an outstanding college publicity service. Director Madry is - vice-president of the American College Publicity As sociation, which had its annual convention in Chapel Hill last spring. With its firm contact with the citizens of the state the Uni versity news bureau is able to act as an agent of good will. It is vigorously opposed to censor ship of legitimate college news, limited by the bonds , of discre tion and 'judgment. It is with out exaggeration to state the hews bureau has been one of the most prominent factors in the earning of the University's state and national reputation for liberalism and fair play. Wardlaw on Radio Jack Wardlaw, well-known or- chestra leader and banjo soloist and former University student, has formed a team with Buford Turner called "Jack and Buf, the Banjo Maniacs." Together they will make a tour of the southern states playing in hotels, Over the radio, and in theatres. Wardlaw's orchestra which has made three successful European tours will continue to play un der a different management un til Wardlaw finishes the tour. Marshals Elected Commencement Officials Selected by German Club Endorsed by Junior Class. Meeting in Gerrard hall Thursday night, the junior class endorsed the commencement marshals selected two months ago by the German club. The group went on record for this following assurances from the dance organization that the class would have complete charge of selecting the marshals after this year. After a hot discussion the class decided that it would be more expedient to endorse the candi dates already selected. ...

Connor, and Lenoir Wright were the marshals endorsed by the m class. v TAYLOR SOCIETY HEARBRADSHAW ON INTERVIEWING . . - ' Dean of Students Calls Inter viewing One of Most Ex pensive Techniques. Addressing the Taylor Soci ety Thursday night on "The Art and Science of Interviewing," Dean Francis F. Bradshaw de clared that "the interview is one of the most expensive of all techniques, because it requires the time of others." After giving a brief account of the development of systemat ic study of the interview, Dean Bradshaw described the vari ous functional types of the in terview and gaye examples illus trating them. He divided inter views into three main classes: the one for getting and giving information, the one for form ing judgment, and the one for affecting the attitudes and de cisions of others. In Three Parts Dean Bradshaw expressed his belief that the interview con sists of three parts and coined a word with which to label the first part. According to the theory he set out, the interview is composed of a "pre-view," an interview and a review. He described the pre-view as the part in which facts and other information needed by the interviewer is supplied applica tion blanks, tests, and other means. ne interview proper is the statement and discussion of the purpose of the interview. This part consists of a climax and a ' conclusion, 1 the conclusion being the time when the inter viewer and the interviewed per son have the same understand ing of the problem with Wfriend ly feeling. The 'final part is the review, in which the interview is reviewed and recorded. Emotional Setting tte speaker concluded by "de scribing the emotional setting of the interview, discussing phys ical signs of emotion such as quick respiration, downcast eyes, perspiration, and random movements' of parts of the body. The address was followed by an open forum' discussion of the interview, in which Dean Brad shaw discussed the questions that were 1 put to him by mem bers of the society. Grail Dance Tonight The first Grail dance of the quarter will take place tonight ; in Bynum gymnasium. The music will be furnished by Alex Mendenhall and his from Greensboro. orchestra NUMBER 141 SHORTER RUSHING SEASON PLANNED BY FRATERNITIES Activities Commence Sunday Following Registration and Last Eight Days. At a meeting of the Inter fraternity Council Thursday night that body unanimously endorsed a plan whereby the present rushing rules were en tirely revised. The plan has been presented to the faculty advisory board on fraternities of which Dr. W. M. Dey is chair man, for its endorsement. Lasts Only Eight Days According to the plan the en tire rushing season will last only eight days thereby dismissing the alleged cause of the usual low averages of the fall quar ter. The upperclassmen are to register Friday, September 23, and Saturday will be the first period of silence rather than the old period which lasted for a week. The freshmen then re ceive their invitations to the fraternities which they answer Sunday between noon and mid night. Monday the actual rushing begins at 2:00 p. m. and lasts through .the following Monday at midnight. The rushing hours on the intervening days are from 2:00 until 10:00 p. m. rather than the usual 9:00 o'clock cur few. Then the second period of silence is Tuesday, October 4, and the freshmen will pledge Wednesday. Details Not Finished This plan is not in complete form as to regulations regard ing eating periods and other minor provisions but these will be made at a later meeting of the council. The new plan is a result of agitation against the regular procedure by both, the : faculty and the students in the course of the past year. The faculty opposed the existing or der "of things because it hurt the grades of both the "old and the new students, and the latter wanted some change due to the fact that the old rushing season was considered too long and drawn out. COLLEGE GROUPS PLAN FELLOWSHIP OF PACIFICATION Harry Comer and Bill McKee to Rep resent University at Duke Forum. Harry F. Comer and Bill Mc Kee will lead a group of ten or twelve students to Durham to morrow night to meet ivith rep resentative groups from State College, Duke, and Wake Forest for the purpose of 'planning the organization of a North Carolina chapter of the Fellowship of Re conciliation. The Fellowship of Reconcilia tion is a movement among the students of the country with the purpose of promoting fellowship and understanding among the various classes, races, and 'na tionalities throughout the world. An incidental purpose to be achieved is a matter in which the Y. M. C. A. has long been inter ested, a closer feeling of fellow ship between the colleges in this section of the state. The meeting will take place at 8 :00 o'clock in the York Chapel on the Duke campus.
