strained Expression of Stu
dent Opinion.
Haywood Weeks, president of
the student body," has called a
mass meeting of students Friday
night at 8:00 o'clock in Memor
ial hall to vote on the question
of signing honor-pledges. There
will be no faculty members in
attendance, jmd it is felt that in
this way a freer discussion on
the part of students may Jbe had.
The honor-pledge to be voted
on concerns the signing of a
pledge by all students at the
time of registration which will
entail supporting the honor sys
tem as it now exists and report
ing violations.
Continuation of Discussion
The meeting will be a con
tinuation of the discussions con
ducted last quarter and which
were culminated by an assembly
speech made by President Gra
liam. Voting was postponed at
that time because it was feared
that the students might have
teen unduly influenced by the
speeches of the faculty.
President Weeks desires that
there may bea complete feeling
of freedom in the expressions
and discussions of the student
l6dy at Fridays meeting. Ample
time will be allowed for a com
plete presentation of everyone's
-viewpoint.
All organizations are asked to
discuss the question at their
meetings throughout the week,
and to send a representative to
the meeting to express the opin
ions of the respective groups.
PLANS OF CONSOLIDATION STUDIED
WITH TWO-FOLD PURPOSE IN VIEW
0-7-
Problems Attending Consolidation of the University, State, and
N. C. C. Studied Impartially by Outside Experts;
Efforts Have Required Almost a Year.
. . ' o
The process of consolidating
three state educational institu
tions, the University, State Col
lege, and North Carolina Col
lege, has required almost a
year's effort on the part of
educational experts. In accord
ance with the provisions of the
consolidation bill, the three
.schools have been inspected and
surveyed, and recently the re
port of the examiners was de
livered to the governor's com
mission. The observations, and
recommendations of this report
will not be made public until the
.governor calls a meeting of the
commission in July.
This commission has peen the
executive force in thexprocess of
consolidation. It consists of
twelve members, two from each
state institution, and six mem
bers from the state at large.

Dr. Louis R. Wilson, librarian,

Since it was the belief of the
advocates of consolidation that
the problems attendant to such
a step should be studied impar
tially by outside experts, the
commission employed-ia survey
staff to conduct the investiga
tion. .This staff is composed of

The annual accounting prize
of 35 was established by Qar
bis A. Walker of Winston
Salem, one of the leading ac
countants in the state, who in
stituted it here for the purpose
of encouraging those aspiring
to be accountants to seek the

WILL PRESENT PLAY

high school will present Frank
Craven's The First Year at 8:00
o'clock tonight in the school au
ditorium. - '.......
" The play was quite successful
in New York attout twelve years
ago. It is being produced now
with the aid of Malcolm Seawell,
who has made an entirely new
set of scenery through the cour
tesy of the Carolina Playmakers.
The proceeds of the entertain
ment will be used to buy a new

Vey, University of Kentucky;
and Dean G. S. Force, of the
graduate school of the Univer
sity of Minnesota.
This group of educational au
thorities studied the situation
with a two-fold purpose in view.
First, the experts studied the
type of administration most ef
fective under the consolidation,
and second, the allocation of edu
cational functions to each school.
Sucji phases of University opera
tion as' admissions, fees, tuition,
library science; and home eco
nomics were' observed by the
survey staff. In all the consoli
dation work, the chief aim was
to prescribe a plan by which
duplication and over-lapping of
the activities of the three schools
might be eliminated. Hence, the
more usual departments, Eng
lish and romance language, for
example, were not studied. The
special features of the schools
were the objects of concentrat
ed examination.
Experts Called in
When the survey became high
ly technical, the survey staff
felt obliged to call in experts to
study' particular branches of
educational work. In this way
the commerce schools, the exten
sion divisions, the engineering
units, and the teacher-training
divisions of the colleges were ob

Jthree classes to place in the 1932

Dormitory Rooms
Administration Plans to Dis
courage Former Practice of
Allowing Three Occupants in
One Room.
PRICES REDUCED
Time Rental Basis Will Begin
February 1 Instead of Jan
uary 1 as Has Been Practice
This Year.
After considering such action
for some time, the University ad
ministration has made several
drastic changes in the policy of
letting dormitory rooms for the
coming year, the business de
partment of the University made
known yesterday.
The changes included the dis
couraging of the practice of hav
ing more than two occupants in
one room, a reduction of price in
eight dormitories, and a new
time-rental basis.
For several years the Old
East, Old West, Steele, and Bat
tle-Vance-Pettigrew dormitories
have had three occupants in a
large" number of the rooms. The
administration plans to discour
age this practice and not allow
more than two occupants per
room with the exception of the
three present occupants of a
room being permitted to retain
the room. This right cannot be
transferred to another and a new
man will not be allowed to sign
up as a third in a room.
Price Reduction
The price to the individual per
session will remain the ... same
with two as it has been with
tnree. m cental in axxie-v ance
Pettigrew will be $67.50 and in
Old East, Old West, and Steele
72.00 per year. The price in
Grimes, Manly, Mangum, Ruffin,
Aycock, Graham, Everett, Lewis
has been reduced from $76.50 to
$65.70.
