Graham, Candidate for Lieutenant-Governor,
Declares Re
publicans Incompetent.
In addressing- the Young Dem
ocrat's club last night A. H.
""Sandy" Graham, Democratic
candidate for lieutenant-governor,
flayed the Republican admin
istration for indecision and in
efficiency, and urged that all
Democrats of age vote, and see
that evervbody else votes the
Democratic ticket who can.
Graham, a prominent Hills
fooro lawyer, who has of ten rep
resented Orange county in the
state legislature both as a rep
resentative and as speaker of
the House, and who has been
lor many years a member of the
"board of trustees of the Univer
sity, was introduced by Ed
Lanier, vice-president of the
club.
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. He
expressed the opinion that un

in the installation of an organ

the current school year.
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

are made of heavy lead. All may

as well as all the pipes, are lo

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.

passed successfully by every stu
dent for the last two years.

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.
