BYWEATHERFOSD
ISWELLRECEIVED
Leader of Christian Group Cen
ters Speech on Question
naire by Will Durant.
"The job for these, three
cabinets is not to act as errand
boys ; but to help make this
place a better- place in which to
live, or to so set the trend so as
to make it easier to live here in
a better manner," declared Dr.
Willis Duke Weatherf ord in his
final speech made during his
sojourn here before a joint gath
ering of the three Y. M. C. A.
cabinets Monday night in Ger
rard hall. A large crowd at
tended the lecture. .
The speaker said that the way
to make this locality a better,
place in which to live was to
know something about religion,
to watch for a chance to help,
and to be prepared to help,
which he gave as answers to the
subject of his speeeh, "What do
You Think of Religion?" .
Cites Types of Students
Dr. Weatherf ord gave a very
concrete example of the ; three
attitudes generally held by col
lege students toward , religion.
In Cornell University, taken to
be one of the nation's represen
tative institutionsit was found
that the first group consisted of
those interested and active in
religious activities, the second
of. those opposed to it, who were j
the most vocal and vociferous in
devouvcing it, and the third,
constituting the great majority,
composed of those who were in
different. "Students are indifferent to
religion because they know so

HITS DEMOCRATS
IN CHAPEL TALK
President of Republican Club Is Greet
ed by Cheers and Cat-Calls in
Freshman Assembly.
John '(vilkinson, speaking in
behalf of the Republicans on the
campus, was received by fresh-
t i' i t
man assemoiy yesterday in a
very boisterous manner as he
attempted to speak on the poli
cies of the present Republican
administration. At various times
during his talk he was greeted
by "boos" and cheers that pre
vented his being heard.
The first part of his address
was devoted to an attempt to
prove the Democratic contention
that the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill
was responsible for the econom
ic depression was entirely wrong,
He then outlined the" measures
that were passed by the Demo
crats during the last session of
Congress for relief from the de
pression.
In conclusion he said that the
state, durinsr thirtv years of
Democratic government, had de
generated rather than advanced,
and that every man, woman, and
child in the state owed $162 for
state bonds, four times as much
per capita as any other state m
the Union.

Opening the year's program
on "Public Affairs," Professor
Albert Coates of the law school
addressed the North Carolina
club on the aims and work of
the Institute of Government,
Monday night in the library.
Professor Coates was introduc
ed by Professor S. H. Hobbs, of
the rural social economics de
partment, and began his talk by
commenting on the effect the almost-constant
rotation of hold
ers of public offices has on the
work of those departments.
"These officers," he explained,
"are not born with a knowledge
of the powers and duties of the
offices to which they are elected
. . . their private occupations
and professions do not teach
them the powers and duties of
public officials ; the uncertainties
of political life do not offer them
incentives to study the respon
sibilities of a public office before
they seek it; the democracy
which clothes them with the
public trust does not provide
them with training to fit them
to discharge it."
Aim pf Institute
It is to remedy this condition,
he said, to bring to each government-
officer the methods,
practices and techniques arising
out of the initative and resource
fulness of other officers in' simi
lar offices in . this . and other
states, to collect the steadily ac-

"Old Uncle Green" McDade is
in deep trouble. He and two of
his aged friends, who have been
associated with the University
their entire lives, are in danger
of losing their' homes due to the
excessive assessments resulting
from the Franklin street im
provement project. Caught with
"Uncle Green" in this difficulty
is "Old Uncle Billy" McDade,
janitor of Graham Memorial,
and another old colored man
known as Rick Taylor.
These three f amaliar figures
in the University and commun
ity are threatened with the loss
of their homes because of their
inability to earn the money to
pay assessment which was laid
upon them four or five years ago.
Iach owns property facing
Franklin street, and when the
tax bill was passed they were
assessed the $7.70 per front foot.
Amounts Protested
This amount, it is charged, is
several times that which was
agreed upon in the petitions for
assessment. "Uncle Green" de
clares he signed with the pro
mise that the assessment was to
be $1.50 per front foot of prop
erty. He was upheld by the
other victims when he said that
he majority of the colored prop
erty owners were tricked into
signing the petition by various
forms of deception practiced by
those circulating the petition for
street improvements.
The most deceptive scheme
that was applied to the task of
getting colored property owners
to sign the petition was ascribed
o a certain pastor of the color
ed Baptist church at the time
the project was started. This
parson, according to McDade
and Taylor, tricked his entire
congregation into signing the
petition by telling them that if
they had their names on the

Served Alderman and Noble
uncie ureen ' lvicuaae was
born in Chapel Hill eighty-five
years ago, on the very property
which he is now in grave danger
of losing. He was born a slave
of a certain Patterson McDade,
from whom he received his
name. After the Emancipation
he went to work for the Univer
sity as janitor of Old East and
Old West. He is proud of the
fact that he waited on Dr. Edwin
Alderman and Dr. M. C. S.
Noble as students. When these
men were mentioned to him, he
apparently forgot his assess
ment woes and began to speak
on his past experiences.
Rick Taylor has lived all the
sixty-eight years of his life in
the community. He has never
left Chapel Hill except for three
months on one occasion when he
worked at a hotel in Greensboro.
He has not waited on any of the
students, as have the McDade
negroes, but has has served the
University as painter. He proud
ly claims to have done almost all
of the painting for the Univer
sity except that of the last few
years. He is now too 'aged and
feeble to compete' with other
workers in his trade.
McDades Not Brothers
"Uncle Bihy McDade, who
has been associated with the
University for all of his seventy
eight years, is commonly known
as "Green" McDade's brother.
But, contrary to this belief, the
two colored mem are not any
way related. This misconcep
tion is due to the fact that both
belonged to the same master at
the time of the Emancipation.
"Uncle Green" painstakingly
explained that his young master

idea. The idea was that he
would earn part of his first year
expenses in college by the novel
scheme of having himself buried
alive and charging thrill-seekers
for the privilege of looking at
him through a pipe.
He gpt a friend to aid him in
digging a five-foot hole and cov
ering the box and to attend to
the very necessary job of feed
ing him soup and orange juice
through a tube. The friend also
collected the offerings given by
the curious. Business was brisk,
but heavy rains came and, fear
ful of a cave-in, the self-dead
student had himself reincar
nated. Possible Fad
It seems now that the student
may have, started a fad which
will reach the proportions of the
one of a year or so ago, when
every tree housed a long-time sit
ter.
For now, a mile from Raleigh
on the Wae Forest road, there
lies buried six feet deep a thirty-
four-year old man who has a
wile and baby. "Doc." Proes-
cher, of "no place in particular,"
until Roosevelt is elected presi-r

He "went down" on Monday,
October 31, and if he stays until
the next president is selected, he
will have been down over eigh

contributions to support his wife

His partner declares thaff ood
is severely rationed to the bur
ied man as "he is "so hungry he
would eat a dead dog.", Twice
daily he is given one ounce of
hominy and; a half pint of, milk.
He is allowed as much water as
he wants, however.
Above the grave, which has
the protection of an open-sided
tent, appears a "tombstone" with

According to information re
leased yesterday by Nutt Pars
ley, editorof the Yackety Yack,
a large increase in the number
of junior and seniors having
their pictures taken for the Uni
versity annual has been shown
this" year in comparison with
last year. -
This total will be increased to
day since the deadline has been
set aside for the one day to al
low juniors and seniors whose
appointments could not be filled
yesterday to have their pictures
taken at the Wootten-Moulton
studio. ,
Thus members of these two
classes may have their photos
made today in time for publica
tion ; but, as the material has to
be in the hands of the printers
tomorrow, pictures for the jun
ior or senior sections taken
later will be disregarded. All
underclassmen will have until
November 15 for their picture
to get into the fraternity sec
tions. 1
Yesterday afternoon 754 pic-
tures, 341 of seniors and 413 of
juniors, had been made. This
total was a marked increase over
any previous year. Ninety-five
were taken Monday to "set a
record for the number made in
one day. j
indications are tnat this in
crease in number has resulted
rom the new plan inaugurated
this year whereby the fees for
these pictures are included in
class fees paid at matriculation.
