FRESHMEN VIE FOR BONEHEAD HONORS sf: ONE BRINGS BATHTUB; GRAHAM'S HOME A HOTEL After the performance of Abie Spats, last year's wildest freshman, it seemed that a last ing high had been set for in sane t antics of the yearlings. However, two members of the class of '36 have already thrust themselves forward to challenge all records. Some queer feports'of the Uni versity's' ablutionary facilities must have percolated through the ninterland in the past year. The impression bas been con veyed to one person, at least, that the dormitories on the cam pus were lacking in bathing ap paratus. Perhaps he thought that since the University is the nucleus of the Southern renais sance, the students here were ejulating their historical coun terparts in not taking baths. Whatever the motive, he did bring a bathtub with him. One of the good old-fashioned tin ones, such as grandma used to use. Perhaps it was his parents' advice which prompted this fan tastic act. One can hear them say to him "Now, son don't for get that cleanliness is next to Godliness, so don't forget your bath on Saturday nighL" It may be that he was in fluenced by the reports circulat ing about the state concerning the condition of the University exchequer and thus came to the conclusion that the students were reduced to living in tents. Or, pondering, as 'freshmen sometimes do, he blossomed forth with the idea that even if the University did supply show ers, a fact which he strongly doubted, a reaall over bath would bring him nearer his maker than mere desultory rins ing under a shower. Also, this naive specimen Boggs Studies in Spain Ralph Boggs of the depart ment of languages was studying in Spain during the past sum mer. " "' ;.-' . FOR PRESIDENCY brought with him a first-class broom. Surely he didn't think University men took a personal hand in sweeping their rooms. No, of course not; he is probably I a witch and needs the broom-1 stick to ride on the Witches'! Mass. Hallowe'en rioters please take note. ' It is best to be circumspect about this young man's crown ing piece of foolishness. Occupy ing a queenly place among his effects was a pot, de chambre. And this lad hails from a place but thirty miles from Chapel; Hill. : His running-mate for honors has a more dignified accomplish ment. Not having rented a room his first day of school, he looked around for, a hotel. This fresh man must be congratulated on his taste, for he selected Presi-, dent Graham's home as the most likely looking hostlery in town., The Graham family chanced to be absent at the time the fresh-; man rang the bell, but the negro maid was not unaccustomed to visitors with traveling bags. Accordingly, she showed the boy to one of the guest roorns. There in typical freshman man ner, he made himself thoroughly at home. He kept the maid busy I for four hours waiting on him; hand and foot, until President Graham came home. Then he, was invited to leave summarily, to say the least. " With such blazing starts these two gentlemen ought to go far on the road to University suc cess. The bathtub hero will very likely wind up as an agent for Crane and company while President Graham's uninvited guest should surpass the achieve ments of "One-Eye" Connelly and Tammany Young. Johnson Receives Degree Cecil Johnson, of the history department, received his Ph-D. degree from Yale University in June, 1932.

DI ATTEMPTS TO REVIVE INTEREST IN ORGANIZATION President Suggests Plan of Equal Student Representation in Literarv Societies. In his inaugural address to the Di Senate Tuesday, Charles G. Rose, Jr., contending that at present all student ideas are not expressed in the two literary so - -i -L J 1 T taetita., pxeiiteu a pian vMiere - by the various opinions of the student body would be more equally represented in the or ganizations. President Rose severely criti cised the lack of interest among members and the declining ac tivity of the society. He point ed out that before the literary groups could achieve any meas ure of success on the campus through their bills, it would be necessary that they include a more representative membership of students. Following his proposal, the president appointed Senators Bill McKee, Jule McMichael, and B. G. Gentry as a committee to carry out the proposed plan. The meeting of the Di Senate, conducted in New West Tuesday night, was the first of this year.
