This conference will take place under the auspices of the South ern Field Council Y. M. C. A. Meditation, reading, sightsee ing, and athletics are consider ed to be important factors, but most important will be the hours assigned for discussion groups, worship, addresses, and group study. There are no organized pro grams arranged for the early "morning, but directly after breakfast, Bible study groups under capable leaders take place. These meetings convene at some spot in the surrounding moun tains. The second period is utilized for personal adjustment.

Next comes the "resource hour" during which everyone is free to use their time in the most profit able manner.

Objective Of Alumni Loyalty Fund To Obtain Gift From Each Alumnus First Stimulated in 1915 by President E. K. Graham, a Group of Alumni Organized to Secure Funds to Leave Lasting Gifts as Remembrance to University. o The Alumni Loyalty Fund is the cnly agency connected with the University which devotes all its energies to fund-raising from private sources. It continually strives to provide the funds with which the University may de velop those projects which could not be financed from State ap propriations. . . The idea was first expressed by the late President Edward Kidder Graham in 1915. When a gift of 1,000 was made at commencement of that year by the class of 1905, he said : "What a fine thing it would be if every living alumnus of the University would give some small gift each year to be used to meet those ever increasing needs which otherwise would never be met." EDWARD ROBINSON PLAYS LEAD IN CAROLINA SHOW Edward G. Robinson, support ed by Vivienne Osborne, stars in First National's "Two Sec onds," snowing at the Carolina theatre today. In previous films Robinson has appeared as gun man, gambler, editor, and ori ental. In -this production, how ever, he portrays John Allen, an iron worker who becomes a vic tim of circumstances. Preston Foster, who has the role of John Allen's buddy, plays the same part that he created in the New York production. The part of Tony, the dance hall keeper, is taken by -J. Carroll iSaish, who was" a member of Robinson's cast in "The Hatchet Man." Guy Kibbee, the older of the tioooes m union uepot, has a vivid part as a bookmaker. Oth er persons included in the cast are Otto Hoffman, Helena Phil lips, Burton Churchill, Dorothea Wolbert, Edward McWade and .William Janney. Organized in 1915 Accordingly, the Alumni Loy alty Fund was organized with a committee of alumni in charge.. President E. K. Graham served as the first chairman of the com mittee. At tEat time there was no full-time organization, al though from time to time the committee appealed to the alum ni to show their loyalty by mak ing some gift to the University. During the World War, and because of the enlarged state- supported building program dur ing the early years of Dr. Chase's administration, the activities of the Alumni Loyalty Fund slowed down. But in 1928 Dr. Chase and other University officials re newed the effort to increase the revenue of the University from private sources. At that time the Alumni Loyalty Fund was organized on its present basis If the Alumni Loyalty Fund realized its objective, which is to obtain some gift each year from every alumnus, there would be available for the University each year an income equivalent to several million dollars of endow ment. During the last two years nearly 2,000 alumni have made some contribution to the University. At present the fund organization is aiding in raising the emergency loan fund, and consequently the other gifts have fallen off somewhat. Alumni Fund Active Besides the small annual gifts from the entire alumni body, the Alumni Loyalty Fund is con stantly searching for large gifts for designated purposes; it brings to the attention of alum ni the needs of theJJniversity ; and it is now promoting a pro gram urging alumni to make the University a beneficiary in their wills. There are some important pro jects which can only be realized by private finance, such as re search, the University Press, special library collections, v en dowments for higher faculty sal- aries, ana endowments ior iei Students wishing to become editors of the Carleton College newspaper are required to com pete for the jobs by writing edi torials in a special examination Detroit University students demand more co-eds in classes or none at all. Out. of an enroll ment of 3620, the university has but seventy-seven women;- Board of Trustees of the University. The executive and adminis trative activities of the council are carried out by an executive secretary, who is also director of the Alumni Loyalty Fund. Fe lix A. Grisette, the present di rector, has been in charge since 1929. Before assuming his Po sition here he had had several years of experience in institu tional finance work with one of the largest firms in the United States engaged in that type of business.

Com plete revision of the liberal arts curriculum at Northwestern Uni versity this week was announced by Dean Addison Hibbard. The changes to be made and put in effect next fall include the elimination of the present system of majors and "minors, with consequent widening of fields of study and correlation of subject matter. List of Changes A summary of the changes fol lows : (1) Two degrees are specified an "honors" and a "pass" degree. (2) "Fields of concentration" replace the former major and minor requirements.

(7) Proficiency examinations for freshman and sophomore courses may be taken by students who have particularly trained themselves for those courses Students passing such profici ency, tests may be excused from lowships and scholarships. Oth- formal requirements. er illustrations of the value of private gifts are the Graham Memorial building, Hill music hall, Morehead-Patterson Me morial Tower, Kenan stadium, Kenan Professorship Endow ment, and the various scholar ship and loan fund gifts. Directed by Council The organization is controlled by a governing board of twelve alumni, known as the Alumni Loyalty Fund Council. These councilmen serve for three years, eight being appointed' by the president of the University and four by the president of the General Alumni Association. The president of tile University and the secretary and president of the General Alumni Associa tion are ex-officio members of the council. The council is re sponsible in its activities to the (8) Each department will pre pare an outline of courses offer ed, stating the object of the courses, content, organization and principal problems with which it will deal. Special Privileges Students working for honors degrees, it was announced, wil be given special privileges, such as more chances for independent study and freedom from re quired class attendance in cer tain courses. The pass degree is to be offered for those who have not the inclination or who lack the time to wTorkfor an honors degree. Dean Hibbard pointed out that the reorganization closely f ol lows several of the major recom mendations made last year by the Student Committee of Thir teen, which made a study of the liberal arts curriculum. Resubmission Urged Resubmission of prohibition was added to the Congressional program today by Senator Hi ram Johnson of California, in proposing a continuous session through the national convention to finish the job. This was the first declaration by the Calif or- nian for resubmission and threw the issue squarely into this ses sion of Congress just before the national campaign. He called upon Congress .to continue at work and he also placed on his proposed program behind the tax, relief, and appropriations bills. .

Virginia won the boxing championship at Charlottesville from sterling competition and maintained her supremacy in that field. L. S. U. took her only southern title last Saturday by walking off with the track and field championship, by a 38 point margin. Senatorial Frank Abused Thousands of dollars are be ing taken from the tax-payers pockets annually to pay for the mailing of campaign speeches not only of senators and con gressmen but of private citizens desirous of getting on the gov ernments payroll. It is known that members of Congress are all accorded the "franking" privilege; that is, the privilege of sending their individual mail free of charge. But in addition to the use of this for private pur poses only, many loan out the privilege to their friends, to lobbying organizations or to any other cause they wish to sup port. There is no check on the practice except the individual conscience of the Congressman himself. The practice is very common, the case to be cited is that of an, able senator from Virginia, Carter Glass. Claude S. Weaver, former Representa tive from Oklahoma and now as pirant for getting his seat in the the House back, has been mail ing out copies of his campaign sneeches under the frank of x Senator Glass. Weaver asked re cently for another 40,000 frank ed envelopes, but was turned down by the Senator, it was re vealed. When questioned about the matter Glass said, "Weaver and I are old friends, having served together in the Senate, He asked me for a number of franked envelopes to be used in mailing out non-political speech es and, this being the case, I was onlv too srlad to accommodate him." Vets to Be Ousted Adjutant-General Black of the Illinois National Guard an nounced yesterday that he would send troops immediately to East St. Louis where 300 war veter ans marching to Washington, were reported to have seized freight tram. The reports were that thirty freight cars of the B and O railroad were being held by the vets because, the HELP WANTED CALENDAR ' ' .. of Graha Board of directors Memorial. 202.

First, in order that they might escape the large number of enemies in the sea, and second, because of the great er abundance of food on the land.
