Milling, Bumping, Roving Throng

Mix to Make Affair More Enjoyable.
"You wouldn't recognize the;
Tin Can, would you?" "They
really don't have boxing in here,
do they?" "Are you trying to
tell me that you weren't at the
Junior-Senior last year?" Such
"were the unanswered questions
which mingled with Tal Hen
ry's music at the gala Junior
Senior dances just completed. '
Although the first hour seem
ed more like a concert than a
dance, along about 11 :00 the
dance was actually in progress
with all the milling, bumping,
"breaking", roving, slipping,
sliding, and chasing that over a
thousand people could furnish.
Discounting all pre-conceived
notions and expectations, this
rather became the witching hour

splendor of vthe decorations, the

TWO PROFESSORS LOOK ON HOOVER
AS BEST PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
Princeton Man Believes Promi
nent Democrats Show Inher
ent Political Weakness.
By Wm. Starr Myers
Professor of Politics, Princeton
University
Mr. Hoover's renomination is
a foregone, conclusion. The on
ly person who could prevent it
is the President himself, and he
naturally desires a vote of con
fidence. Certain elements in his
party who never wanted him,
who opposed him in 1928 when
his nomination was the result of
a great popular movement in the
rank and file of the party, are
still opposing him, especially
the "wringing wets" and some
of the "Old Guard" elements
who fought Theodore Roosevelt
twenty years ago. This will have
no effect and the Republican
convention will be a ratification
meeting.
Target for Attacks
The President has been the
target of most pitiless and un
fair attacks, in many cases ,not
only undeserved, but absolutely
untrue. Also he has been blamed
fora depression that was inevi
table, as any student of history
and economics knows, and for
which he was in no way respon
sible. He possibly has made
mistakes in forecasting better
times, but so have the best bank
ers and other business men, for
the only real financial wisdom is
retrospect. Fortunately for the
business men, they did not have
to make statements and give
forecasts, as did the President,
but could prophesy in private.
On the other hand, restlessness
and desire for change, with the
usual reaction against a party in
power in a time of depression,
showed itself in the fall'elections
of 1930 and 1931. These result
ed in a Democratic House of Rep
resentatives. The people have

SENIOR BALL IN
TIN CAN CLOSES
SET OF DANCES
Feature of Final Dance of Set
Is Senior Figure Led by
Hamilton Hobgood.
When Tal , Henry and his or
chestra stopped their music last
night at ,12:00, they marked the
"finis" to one of the best sets of
dances that -has taken place in
Chapel Hill recently. The fes
tivities which -were successfully
begun with the Junior Prom on
Friday night continued through
the tea dance, sponsored by both
classes yesterday, and reached a
fitting climax at the Senior Ball
last night.
The colorful throng, that filled
the large ballroom, was carried
away with the exceptional rendi
tions by Henry's diminutive vo
calist. He received encore af
ter encore as the couples stopped
their dancing to hear him sing.
Orchestra Popular
The vocalist was not the only
one who received praise from
the dancers, however, as the en
tire orchestra proved themselves
to be worthy of the reputation
it holds as one of the leading
dance bands in the country. The
leader, who is a North Caro
linian, was especially popular
with the dancers.
The feature of the evening
was the senior figure led ' by

Only Revolt in Party Will Block
President Hoover, Says
Harold R. Bruce.
By Harold R. Bruce
Professor of Political Science
Dartmouth College
Under existing conditions the
question is largely an academic
one. Mr. Hoover s position in
the convention will be the cus
tomary one of the President at
the close of his first term of of
fice. He will be impregnable,
due to the support of the various
state organizations and the large
number of federal office-holders
who have received appointments
during his administration. It
will require nothing less than
a violent revolt within the par
ty to block him, and even his
most outspoken critics vwill
shrink from sacrificing the par
ty's chances of i victory this
year by splitting on his renom
ination at this time. - The la
mentable disunity of their op
ponents will serve to keep the
Republicans united in this cam
paign, whatever else it may do.
Significance of Question
But the. question does assume
some real significance if viewed
in the light of national desira
bility and -party expediency.
Will the Republicans be offering
the nation their strongest and
"most . available" man if they
select Mr. Hoover again? Can
they win with him? Is there
anyone else in the party that is
likely to do a better job, 1933-
1937? . ; 4

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This article,
ontributed to The Daily Tar Heel
by Harold Denton, president of the
Men s Student Council at the Univer
sity of Kansas, is the first of a series
of atricles about politics on campi of
other universities). ,
By Harold Denton
The hottest political campaign
in the historjr of the University
has just been finished at the
University of Kansas. Out of an
enrollment of some two thou
sand men students, 1,536 votes
were cast in the' election April

two political factions presented
tickets composed equally of fra
ternity and non-fraternity men

CHARLOTTE MAN
HEAPS PRAISE ON
LAW PUBIJCATION
Awards to Winners of Scholastic
And Literary Attainment An
nounced at Banquet.
Delivering one of the princip
al addresses at Friday night's
annual law school banquet at
the University, Chas. W. Tillett,
Jr., prominent Charlotte at
torney heaped praise upon the
North Carolina Law Review for
its- direct contribution to the
lawyers of the state, and upon
the law school for its direct con- -
tributions to the Constitutional
Revision Committee.
The dinner marked the cele
bration of the tenth anniversary
of the Law Review, and Tillett x
declared that it. had "won its
place as one of the great law re-
views of the country." He said
that it was "furnishing a real
program of guidance to North
Carolina lawyers." These direct
contributions, he thought, were
what E. K. Graham, late presi
dent of the University, had in
mind when he said that "the
great collegers one that supplies
the civilization it serves with a
program of guidance."
Dignitaries Present
Judge J. J. Parker of the Cir
cuit Court of Appeals, Justices
Heriot Clarkson and W. J.
Adams of the State Supreme
Court, several prominent state
officials and lawyers, and a num
ber of former, student editor's of
the Law Review were among
those present. .
A. A. F. Sewell, assistant
attorney gejneral, was another
speaker, but Seawell, with rare
wit and humor, mixed anecdotes
and jokes about lawyers and law
intd a speech which conformed
admirably with the light and
enjoyable program.
A special feature was a faculty
skit, students enacting a faculty
meeting and "taking-off" on the
professors, while the latter sat
by grinning and enjoying the
fun. J. H. Chadbourn was
toastmaster and with. Allen

School Association, and Edwin

Control Changed in 1912
-In the early history of the Uni
versity, a fraternity group call
ing themselves the Black Mask
Coalition controlled alkschool of
fices. In 1912 or 1913 the re-
mammg iraternities comDinea
with representative non-frater
nity men to "clean up" . school
politics and give more equal
representation and elected its
own members. The Pachacamac -party
has, with the exception of
a few years here and there con
trolled school offices for the.
last twenty years, with the
Black Mask Coalition coming
back from time to time under
various new names but always a
purely fraternity group includ -ing
a few of the best fraterni
ties on the Hill.
In the spring of 1931, the non
fraternity men formed the Kay
hawk Clulb. They organized
primarily to participate in the
program of intramural athletics
