People Interested in Election He opened his address by commenting that interest in the election this year is more wide spread than in. a number oi years, attributing this to the fact that during days of pros perity the great mass of people allowed politicians to do most of the political thinking,' but that since prosperity has gone the people have begun to realize the need f of a change. The Democratic speaker' at tacked the Harding regime for or?upt politics, and flayed Mel lon, secretary of the treasury wider Coolidge, for advancing his own interests while acting in that capacity by refunding forty-eight millions in taxes to liimself, and a total of nearly three billions to companies' in' -which he was interested.

Declared Fine Instrument The instrument is a Robert Morton Silvertone, designed es pecially fori theatres and audi toriums. Walter B. Patterson, professional organist secured by the University, has called it one ol the best organs tor its size upon which he has played. Pat lerson has played in many New York theatres and was organist for a year at the University of Buffalo. The organ is really a combina tiori of three 'organs, each with a range of five octaves. Any note on the keyboard may also be played in conjunction with notes from two reed pipes, a flute pipe or a string pipe. Sup plementing the melody of the instrument are a harp, a snare drum and bass drum, tom-toms, castanets, cvmbals, orchestra bells, wood-blocks, a xylophone, and one and one-half octaves of chimes. Three Kinds of Pipes The pipes, ranging in length from four inches to sixteen feet, are of three kinds. Smaller ones are of tiny alloy7 others of wood and the largest of a heavy metal The pipes in the "vox humana' division, which produce an al most human quality in the notes are made of heavy lead. All may be operated from the organ man ual. The accessory instruments as well as all the pipes, are lo cated in an especially construct ed sound-proof chamber - back staere on the right side of the hall. The organ is controlled entire ly by electricity." A dynamo connected with the regular cir cuit surmlies direct current to j- x the machinery. With the rapid approach of the deadline, November 1, at which all pictures of juniors and seniors must be in the hands of the photographers. The Yackety Yack staff is making a final appeal to the members of the two upper classes to attend to this duty. The photographer's fee is included in the class dues and it is but logical that the pic tures be taken. At the present time there are still many persons who have failed to make appointments with the photographer. In order o remedy this situation the staff of the annual has sent letters to the fraternities whose men have not yet had appointments made. It is requested that the lodges deal with this matter, at their meetings. Requests Made Those men in-the dormitories who have neglected to attend to their pictures are being seen personally by members of the staff. Students in town are be ing sent personal cards admon ishing, them to hasten their pic ture appointments. Underclassmen who are mem bers of fraternities should make appointments with representa tives in their respective houses for, the taking of pictures. These pictures have not been paid for in class dues, and hence a fee of one dollar and a half will be paid. It is urged that these pic tures be taken at the earliest convenience. - No pictures of juniors or sen iors will be able to be placed in their respective sections of the Yackety Yack after November Fourteen hundred and sixty students in the University were reported with mid-term defi ciencies in one or more subjects, according to a statement issued yesterday by the Registrar's of fice. This number is 291 less than the total deficiency listing of last year.' Remembering the' difference in enrollment between the years '31-'32 and '32 and '33, a total of 1608 marks of W and X might have been expected on the basis of last year's total mid term deficiencies. The list of last year showed . 1751 such grades. In several subjects, however, the number of deficiencies this year exceeded those of last year. There were 160 marks of X and W in history courses to 136 such grades last year. Two languages, Spanish and French, both caused more failures and near failures than in the previous year. In commerce, government, and zo ology, more 'deficiencies were re ported this year than last. Math Grades Poorest The department of mathemat ics showed the greatest number of poor grades. There were 221 students whose work in mathe matics for, the first period of study was failing or near fail ing. English was the next hard est subject, 169 deficient marks being reported. French, with 164, and history, with 160, xi i jl -i i. t- were tne two next nignest suu jects in number of deficiencies. Music and philosophy reported no marks of X or W, although in both subjects there were sev eral such grades last year. Rural social economics has been passed successfully by every stu dent for the last two years. 1 because the pictures will be in the hands of the engravers the following day. on Wilmington Club Will Not Convene Tonight There will be no meeting of the Wilmington club tonight, ac cording to H. M. Pickard, vice- president. At the last meeting it was decided to conduct gath erings every- other Thursday night in Graham Memorial. At an executive committee meeting which took place Mon day a tentative draft of a con stitution was made, and plans for the coming year were dis cussed. Joseph Newton, pre sident of the organization, was chairman of the committee, which consisted of Mack Pick ard, Erwin Jaffe, Alfred Miller, and Phil Hammer. The club was formed to pro mote fellowship among Wilming ton boys, and to give aid to all Wilmington freshmen during the first several weeks. ' GRAIL PLANS NEW CAROLINAANTHEM Thornton W. Allen, Nationally Known Composer, Secured to Write Tune and Words. There is a definite move on foot to have a new, distinctive, and individual song for the Uni versity of North Carolina. The Order 'of the Grail is sponsor ing this project and has entered into an agreement with Thorn ton W. Allen, nationally and in ternationally known song writ er and composer to write the anthem. .Wrote "Spirit of V. M. I." Allen has been working on the plan for some time and has al ready submitted several melo-dies-and words for approval and is still working on a suitable tune. He will be remembered as the composer of such college songs of triumph as "The Wash ington and Lee Swing," "The Spirit of V. M. I." and the song of the fighting Florida 'Gators. It has been included in the contract that the song, once it is approved, will be included in Allen's song book of national in tercollegiate melodies; and he also guarantees its inclusion in a national radio hook-up program. It is to be clearly understood that this new song will in no way replace "Hark, the Sound,'" but will merely supplement it, and the two will go down in the annals of the University together.
