NEW UNIVERSITY
SCHOOL HEADED
BY W-CKSON
Cherished Plan of State Leaders
Finally Realized in School of I
pujjlic Administratidrir""
A long-cherished project of
men .who have the interest of
North Carolina and its advance
ment at heart has at last been
realized with the establishment
of a school of public administra
tion at the University. Co
operation between this new
school and the state-wide insti
tute of governmental officers
recently organized under the
leadership of Professor Albert
M. Coates will mean much in
the improvement of public wel
fare and government in North
Carolina in the immediate fu
ture. The establishment of such a
school here on the campus is ex
pected to bring the students to
a fuller realization of their ob
ligations as citizens and leaders
in the commonwealth which has
provided their educational re
sources. ,
i)r. Jackson Heads School
Dr. W. Q. Jackson, . formerly
vice-president of N. C. C. W.,
accepted tte headship of the new
school and will begin his work
this fall. The organization of
this school will cause no other
addition to . the faculty other
than that of Dr. Jackson.
The University, throughout its
long history,, has always had
strong social interests, great
faith in the ultimate soundness
.of democratic government, and
a responsibility for serving the
state as a laboratory in govern
mental research and a training
ground for future governmental
leaders.
A leader in the above point of
'view was former President Ed
ward Kidder Graham, who said
when he brought Dr. E. C. Bran
son here and established the de
partment of rural social eco
nomics: "Its business is to teach
North Carolina to North Caro
linians; not the North Caro
lina of day before yesterday but
the North Carolina of day after
tomorrow."
Dialectic Senate Will
Meet Tuesday Night
The initial meeting of the
Dialectic Senate is planned for
Tu-asday at 7:00 o'clock. At
thistime, the president for the
fall quarter, Charles G. Rose,
Jr., will make the regular in
augural speech. There will be
no bills discussed at the meet
ing. ' -
Those freshmen who indicat
ed their . interest in debating
and forensic work in the ques
tionaire sent out by the dean of
students were sent invitations.
These freshmen are especially
urged to attend, and any other
students who are interested
are asked to be present.

Schools Invited by Y. M. C. A. to
Attend Pre-College Retreat.
The University Y. M. C. A.
this year sponsored a pre-college
retreat for fifty-seven outstand
ing freshmen from Saturday,
September 17; through Monday,
September 19. ,
From one to three boys out of

pus in advance of the rest of
- W -.-.
the class, a specially selected
group of freshmen and give them
a three-day program that will
acquaint them with the customs

the program at the University of
Pennsylvania, University of
Georgia, Cornell University,
Vanderbilt University, and Uni
versity of Texas.

MUSICAL TALENT
FOR COMING YEAR
SHOWSJPROMISE
Harold S. Dyer Plans Extensive
Programs for University
Band and Orchestra.
The outlook of the musical
university for the coming year
is the best in several years, ac
cording to Harold "S. Dyer, head
of the department of music. Ad
vance reports collected by the
music department indicate that
both the band and ' orchestra,
with the exception of the trom
bone sections, will be stronger
this year than last. This year's
freshman class is expected to
bring with it a great wealth of
talent (from all over the south,
most of which will come from
North Carolina.
Doctor Dyer has outlined a
rather extensive plan of work
and entertainment for the -year.
The band under the direction of
T. Smith McCorkle gets under
way tonight and is scheduled to
be on hand tomorrow for the
opening game. In addition to
its work on the football field
during the fall the band plans to
present several concerts. Two
trips have so far been arranged
for the band.
Symphony Orchestra Work
The University symphony or
chestra begins its work next
week under Dyer's direction.
Four major concerts jduring the
ensuing year have been planned
by the department, and in addi
tion to these there will be a series
of matinee programs especially
for public school children. The
orchestra is also planning to
cooperate with the Chapel Hill
Oratoriol society in the presenta
tion of a Christmas concert in
the same manner in which they
gave Elijah.
Although the glee club has
made no definite arrangements
for tours yet, a series of cam
pus concerts have already been

STUDENTS TO GET
SPECIAL SECTION
IN KENAN STANDS
To Avoid Federal Tax, Students "Will
Use Only Designated Seats
At Football Games.
If Carolina football adherents
wish to witness gridiron battles
this fall without paying an extra
charge for that privilege, they
must sit' in a designated section
set aside by the University Ath
letic association. Sections 17,
18, 19, and 20, rows A through
Z have Seen given the student
body. These seats are on the
south -side of the field in the cen
ter sections and are the most de
sirable in the stadium.
In the last session of Congress
when a tax on admissions to ath
letic contests was drawn up, it
was first decided that student
admissions to games would be
taxed. Only after a hectic bat
tle by various athletic associa
tions in the country was this
tax removed, the Internal Rev
enue department eliminating it
on one condition : that certain
sections of seats be set aside for
each game for students only.
Therefore students cannot sit
in seats outside these sections
without paying full admission
price plus the ten per cent Fed
eral tax.
Coupon books must be pre
sented at gate 5 for admission.
Any fradulent use of the student
athletic book will result in its
forfeiture.
FLORIDA RAILWAY
.BEGINS SUIT FOR
UNIVERSITY FUND
Three People, Including Presi
dent Graham, Are Named
Def endants in Fight.
As a beneficiary of the will
of the late Henry Flagler's
widow, the University has be
come involved in a lawsuit which
threatens to deprive it of the
Kenan foundation. Scott M.
Lof tin, receiver, for the Florida
East Coast railway, filed official
papers in the supreme court of
New York in mid-July. Presi
dent Frank P. Graham was
named as a defendant in the
case as were Wiliiam R. Kenan,
Jr., and Lawrence Haines,
trustees of the estate of Mrs.
Mary Lily Flagler Bingham.
Mrs. Flagler, to whom Flag
ler is reported to have left $1,-
000,000 at his death in 1913, es
tablished a trust; fund for the
university wnicn gives tne in
stitution $75,000 annually. The
money has been used to augment
salaries of certain professors,
known as "Kenan professors"
and for a wide variety of schol
arly research aptivity.
Neglect Alleged '
The trustees were accused in
the formal complaint of having
neglected to apply the proceeds
of the trust fund to the main
tenance of the Florida railway,
a stipulation which appeared in
Mrs. Flagler's will.
The supreme court has been
requested to interpret the will to
the effect that the trust fund was
established for the benefit of the
railway, to issue an order direct
ing the trustees so to apply the
income, and to grant an injunc
tion restraining the trustees
from disbursing any funds with
out a court order. If granted,
this action would render only
the railway a beneficiary of the
will and thus deprive the Uni -
versity
of the Kenan grant.
