featured by the inaugural ad
dress of Dan Kelly, who is new

with a brief history of the as
sembly, which was founded on
this campus over 136 years ago,
reviewing the careers of some of
the most prominent alumni of
the society, whose pictures hang
on the walls of the assembly
hall.
It was pointed out that al
though the organization had lost
some of its former powers and
duties, it has now a purpose
equally important in teaching
students how to clearly express
their views, in giving them ex
perience in public speaking, and
in presenting to them a cross

tional subjects.

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

ment of languages was studying

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.

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.
