ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS
WILL MEET IN RALEIGH
Who shall have control of stu-
dent conduct in the University
dormitories? To whom shall
the residents of the dormitories
appeal when seeking adjust
ments necessary to their com
fort and well-being? It was the
complexity and importance of
these problems that led ten
years ago to an attempt at their
solution by the organization of
the Carolina dormitory club.
As in the case of the solution
of the majority of social prob
lems at the University, the for
mation of this club resulted from
the direct demands of the stu
dents themselves. The organ
ization, which is composed of
the presidents of all campus dor
mitories, was a natural out
growth of student responsibility
for the conduct oi the residents
of the University living quar
ters. s
Regulates Dormitory Order
The principal achievement of
the club has been the regulation
and maintenance of order in the
dormitories. The actual control
of the situation is placed in the
hands of the president oi each
individual building.
This council receives author
ity directly from the student
council to place on immediate
probation any student who vio:
lates dormitory regulations.
These include the principles of
gentlemanliness expounded in
the Campus Code and the pur
suance of a normal neighborly
life. Violation of such proba
tion results in an appeal to the
student council for the removal
of the offenders.
The latter organization has
generally accepted the recom
mendations of the dormitory
council in these matters. A sur
vey of the activities of the dor
mitory club for the year 1929
shows that fifty-four students
were warned, sixteen were placed
on probation, and two were ex
pelled from the University
buildings. In every . case the
Carolina dormitory club was the
motivating force toward secur
ing the elimination of undesir
able tenants.
Smokers to Be Quarterly
Plans of the association for
the current year call for a wid
er interest on its part in the so
cial life of the dormitories. The
meetings in Graham Memorial
at the opening of the quarter
were in accord with this plan.
The club will continue to arrange
a smoker each quarter for every
University dormitory.
i The welfare and comfort of
the residents remain, however,
the chief consideration of the or
ganization. In accord with this
policy, several suggestions were
made to the buildings depart
rnent for better living conditions
Among the requests were more
mirrors, better lighting facul
ties, and more consistently heat
One dormitory has

signed a petition for the fur
nishing of its social room.

rinnt in t.h ft dormitories. In ac

ings of the several councils arc

DR. FRASER TALKS
ON DISARMAMENT
Half of Total Revenue of World
Used for Upkeep of Military
Forces, Professor Says.
"One half of the total revenue
of the nations of the world is
spent for the upkeep of 'war ma
terials and armaments," declared
Dr. K. C. Fraser of the history
department, yesterday before the
student assembly in a speech on
the subject of disarming the
world. '
"Great Britain maintains a
great cruiser fleet for her vast
colonial empire ; the United States
bears the burden of a large bat
tleship fleet for communication
between the mainland, Honolulu,
and Manila; and France is armed
to the teeth for the sake of pro
tection," he affirmed.
Continuing he said that the
problem of disarming fifty-five
nations, each with different in
terests to consider, was a very
difficult one to say the least ; and

Adams to Deliver Address
According to arrangements
made yesterday by the Student
Entertainment committee the
illustrated lecture to be pre
sented here Tuesday night by
Axel Boethius, widely known
archaeologist, will be open to the
public without charge. This an
nouncement was made by Dean
A. W. Hobbs, chairman of the
group.
The lecture swas originally
scheduled as an affair requiring
tickets. As it was felt that com
paratively few students are will
ing to pay admission to an en
tertainment of this type and as
little expense is incurred in
bringing the lecturer here, the
committee decided to make the
change.
Students who hold pas books
will not be required to bring
them for admission to the lec
ture, which will be the second
feature of the series, of enter
tainments sponsored by the Stu
dent Entertainment committee.
Boethius, who will speak on
the study of archaeology, is
recognized as one of the out
standing men in the field today.
He is now in America at the in
vitation of the Archaeological
Institute of America and, while
here, will deliver a series of lec-
ftures on Roman domestic archi
tecture and the problems of the
small town of ''Rome in ancient
times.
Students And Faculty Recommend
Gravel Walk To Graham Memorial
o-
Although Report of Union Forum Committee and Statements by
Faculty Ground Experts Favor New Path, All Oppose
Paths Worn Elswhere Across Campus.
O :
That which has been a cam-
pus habit has become an official
necessity. A drive by the Union
Forum for elimination of paths
across the campus has caused
students and officials to express
a desire for a gravel walk con
necting Graham Memorial and
the entrance to the campus be
side Battle on Franklin street.
The new walk would do away
with the path which has marred
the approach to Graham Memo
rial since the building was
opened last year.
The grounds committee of the
Union Forum reported recent
ly that it was in favor of
such a walk, but that it would
continue requesting students not
to walk on the grass:. The com
mittee, appointed to consider
measures to induce students to
refrain from creating unsightly
paths across the campus, de
plored the fact that short-cuts
detrimental to the grass are
used despite an extensive system
of gravel walks; A walk to
Graham Memorial, however, was
considered imperative.
Lack Funds for New Walk
According to Dr. W. G. Coker,
chairman of the faculty com
mittee on grounds, it will be
some time before the grounds
department will have funds to
construct a new walk even if
plans to do so are adopted. The
matter of a new' walk to facili
tate access to the union build
ing was discussed last year af
ter its completion, but on ac
count of low finances no concrete
proposal was acted upon.
P. L. Burch, director of build
ings department, assertecf hearty
approval of the recommende'd
walk. However, he strongly ob
jects to the other paths that
cris-cross the campus irrespect
ive of the walk-way system. "
am glad the students have tak
en the matter into their own
hands," he said, "because they
can do more about it than any
one else."
"We need a gravel walk be
tween Battle .building and Gra
ham Memorial," stated R. B.
House, . secretary of the Univer
sity, "but there is no excuse for .
the path between Battle and
Old East. It is unsightly and
should not be there." ' As a rem
edy the secretary calls for an ap
peal to the better natures of tha
students. "We have done it be
fore," he asserted, "and it has
voluntarily been stopped."
E. C. Daniel, president of the
Union Forum and vice-president
of the student body, is also of
the opinion that a walk should
be constructed between Graham
Memorial and Battle. He dis
favors the other paths, stating
that "not really, many paces are
saved by taking the paths. The
paths worn on the new campus
to the library should certainly'
not be there."
The problem of keeping stu
dents off the grass is one of the
oldest in school, observed Dr.
Coker. For thirty years, he re
marked, grounds committees
have striven to prevent students
from wearing just such a path"
as now lies diagonally across the
campus from Franklin street to
Old East.
