HILL'g PORTRAIT
BY NOTED ARTIST
GIFT TO LIBRARY

John Sprunt Hill, prominent
alumnus of , the University, pre
sented a valuable portrait pf
himself to the University library
this week. This portrait, which
was painted by P. A. de Lazio,
has been hung in the North
Carolina room.
De Lazio is a famous portrait
painter of world wide fame. He
has studied in Munich and Paris
under' Liexenmayer and Lefebre
and has spent most of his life
painting European royalty. He
came to this country primarily
to paint a portrait of Edison.
However, Edison died before it
could be completed, and it was
at this time that Hill secured de
Lazio's services.
The best known works of de
Lazio are portraits of King Ed
ward VII, Queen Alexandra, ex
Kaiser Wilhelm, ex-President
Roosevelt, and Signor Mussolini.
The University . is fortunate to
receive such a portrait.

Prominent Alumni, Faculty Members, and Students Feel Need for
Reorganization of Group Similar to "Cheerios' ; fliass
Meeting Convenes in Memorial Hall Tuesday."
Convinced tha,t the fighting
spirit of Carolina is not dead but
has been merely dormant for
the last few years, prominent
alumni, faculty members and
students are banding together
in an effort to revive the Caro
lina "pep" of the past.
Much comment has been evok
ed on all sides for the past two
or three years and especially
this year by the apparent lack
of spirit on the part of the stu
dent body. This has led to in
dividual efforts on the' part of
persons interested in the Univer
sity. Will Reorganize Cheerios
The first step in the organ
ized effort, starting last week,
will be the remoulding of the
once-famous "Cheerios." All
students wishing to- co-operate
in this movement will gather in
Memorial hall. Tuesday at 700
o'clock to discuss plans for the
re-organization.
At this meeting a new Cheer
io erroun and the cheerleaders
and members of the music de
partment, who are actively en
gaged in the attempt, will turn
raw cheering material into "the
real stuff."
The Cheerios, once almost as
spectacular as the game and as
important on the Carolina grid
iron as the team, were known
all over the south for their ef-
t show of
sDirit.
The powerful personality of
hhv" Reeves, the energy
and earnestness of L. V. Hug

of Kay Kyser were important
factors in the cheering out are

Union Forum Represents
, Carolina Student Opinion
o ' .
Method of Selection of Members Assures Every Student of Voice
In Campus Affairs; Board Formed to. Advise Graham
Memorial Management But Has Assumed Other Duties.
o
Although the original purpose
of the Union Forum was to se
lect from its ranks three stu
dents to serve on the board of
directors of Graham Memorial,
the organization has proven so
representative of the student
body that it is now functioning
as an advisory group to the stu
council. The Forum was founded last
year by Mayne Albright, then
president of the student body
and now manager of Graham
Memorial. He served as the first
president of the new associa
tion, but due to excessive duties
this year Haywood Weeks has
to E. C. Daniel, vice-president of
the student body. ,
Every Student Represented -'-It
is the system of electing
members to the Forum that
makes it the most representa
tive body on the campus. One
member is elected from each
section or floor of every dor
mitory and one from' each fra
ternity house. Three men are
chosen to represent those stu
dents who room in town while
four are elected from the alum
ni. This method assures , one
representative from approxi
mately every thirty students.
Because of its complete rep
resentation of the student body,
the Union Forum has developed
into one of the most important
discussion groups .on the cam
pus. It has come to include
withiri the scope of its activi
ties the hearing and debating of

voted upon , by the student body.
It may also initiate and pre
pare legislation which the stu
dent council places before the
students for their consideration.
