The faculty of the University -is attempting to expedite the -work of the trustees' committee -which will meet here Monday to -consult with the faculty on the selection of the vice-president of the Greater University of North Carolina to head the branch here. At the suggestion of Dr. H. V. Wilson, head of the zoology department, every member of the faculty wishing to make a nomination, for the vice-presidency may make it in writing aind turn it in to the committee. Time a Factor -- Dr. Wilson, in making the suggestion,' pointed out that i -there are over ninety professors in the University, and if five . minutes were allotted forf an in terview with each, the commit- tee would spend seven and one - Tialf hours. Such interviews, he said, would hardly do more than . xegister a nomination. The letters of nomination, ad dressed to the trustees' commit- tee, will be turned in to R. B. House, executive secretary of the University, before Monday. I The committee of the Board of " Trustees to confer -with the fa culty on the selection of the ' ice-president will meet in president Graham's office at 10 :30 Monday morning. DR. DAVILA SEES BRIGHT FUTURE IN AMERICAN PEACE Ex-President of Chile, Brought Here by Carnegie Endowment, Traces Peace Efforts. Addressing about two hun ' dred and fifty students and members of the faculty last ; night in Gerrard hall, Dr. Car los Davila, ex-president of Chile and former ambassador to the United States, outlined the' his tory of the various peace move ments and attempts towards peaceful solution of differences that have been organized in the Americas. Y In introducing Dr. Davila, ; Dean Pierson told of the purpose , of the Carnegie Endowment for international peace through the -auspices of which ,Dr. Davila is ' at the University. The Carnegie Endowment is trying to multi ply and strengthen the ties be tween countries by the scholar ly understanding of their differ ences and troubles. Resume of Peace Efforts Dr. Davila prefaced the body of his talk, entitled "Quest for Peace in the Western Hemi sphere," with a summary of the leading international attempts at peaceful solution of disputes and arbitration of international difficulties, including the Kellogg pact, the League of Nations pact, the Hague conferences, and the Pan-American conferences. Continuing Dr. Davila ' re marked that there have been more than 250 treaties of arbi- tration for the settlement by k ' (Continued on page three) Regarding The Need For Representative Student Straw Ballot AN EDITORIAL To those who bewail the ob vious lack of student expression in matters of paramount import ance to the welfare of the Uni versity, the heartless and. inef fective response to The Daily Tar Heel vice-presidential poll early, this week is a matter for wholesale discontent. Desiring to elicit the true opinion of un dergraduates in a poll which might, have, some effect on the committee responsible for the selection of the vice-president to head this division of the Great er University, all efforts to re ceive a truly intelligent, response, have been fruitless. s - - ' Evading the sincere motives of this publication in conduct ing -such a poll, many sought to make a joke of the whole ven ture, and many ridiculous and utterly insane ballots were cast which served to cloak the poll in a supercilious light. Hardly more than one hundred stu dents cast their preferences in a manner that should befit a literate American undergradu ate. The results were surpris ing and disastrous to the moti vation of the poll. . With this in mind The Daily Tar Heel launches a second poll MONTHLY REVIEW WILL REISSUED BY FRESHMAN CLASS Material for New Publication to Be Selected From Work Submitted by Class. Beginning with January, 1933, a paper, tentatively title'd the Freshman News Review will be issued once a month until the close of the spring quarter. The Freshman News Review - will contain about twenty-two hun dred words an issue, selected from the written work submitt ed to the English department. ,Each instructor in freshman English 'will select from the month's work (in the case of the January issue, from the work of the first quarter) a few themes, essays or articles submitted to him as a part of the regular English work, and will turn them in to the editorial commit tee, composed of M. P. Wells, J. W. Scott, George F. Horner, and Dr. Harry K. Russell. The editorial committee will select the articles, themes, or essays, from the papers submitted to them for use in the publication. " The idea for this paper for the freshman English department here originated with Dr. A P. Hudson, head of the freshman English department, who used the system "with considerable success at the . University . of Mississippi, founding a paper of this sort which is still in active existence. : ' ' It is expected that such a pub lication .will stimulate a great deal of interest in English work, as it will give students an op Twirtunitv of seeing what is be ing done by other students with virtually the same material, and will.be an incentive to more careful work on the part of stu dents. Who are anxious to have their work published. In addi tion to this, class discussion and (Continued on page two) this morning, conducted under special representatives of the student council. Balloting will be done in a strictly orthodox method, and each voter will be required to proceed in the man ner utilized in spring elections. The responsibility of the suc cess of the new poll rests di rectly upon the student body. A man must be chosen to repre sent the Chapel Hill branch of the Greater University whose past record and potential abili ties will make him eligible to carry on the fruitful efforts of his astute predecessor. The Daily Tar Heel, of course, finds no fault in the ultimate selec tion of the previous poll; but seeks only to decry the proced ure and attitude assumed by voters who failed to realize the seriousness of the situation. The student body of the Uni versity is. .entirely within - its rights in demanding that it be given an opportunity to express its preference in a sane and open, minded manner. The Daily Tar Heel, feeling that its birthright as a true organ of student opinion cannot be denied, hereby offers this opportunity to- the student body.-D.C.S.

GRAHAM EXPLAINS BUDGET PLANS TO JOHNSTON ALUMNI New Officers Named at Meeting Are J. D. Barbour, President, and G. A. Martin, Secretary. , Dr. Frank P. Graham and J. Maryon Saunders, alumni secre tary of the- University, attended the meeting of the Johnston county alumni association Tues day night in Smithfield. One hundred and sixteen members were present at this meeting which was their annual gather ing for the election of officers. Dr. Graham was the principal speaker of the'evening. He spoke to the alumni on the biennial request of he Univer sity for financial support as presented to the budget commis sion of the , legislature. He stressed the fact that the current budget of the University is twenty-two and a half per cent less than that for 1928-29. This is, he explained, contrary to the impression given out by the state papers in their reports on that subject. While it is true that the request for '33-34 is somewhat in excess of the amount obtained for this bien nium, that amount was cut- forty-three per cent smaller than the budget of the '28-'29 period. The new officers of the John ston county association are: J. Dwight Barbour, president, and Grover A. Martin, secretary.

' - ave Polls Votin Names Receiving More Than Five Votes in Previous Straw' Vote Are on Ballot. TAR HEEL SPONSORS VOTE Student Paper Feels That Cam- pus Opinion Will Influence Trustee Selection.

Dean M. T. Van Hecke ofithe law school spoke at the meeting of the North Carolina club, Tuesday night on. the subject of the proposed revisions of .; the state constitution, criticizing and pointing out the - probable effects of the revisions. General characteristics of the revised constitution were given by Van Hecke to be these: the state legislation is to be un usually free from binding de tails and rigid dictates of the constitution, the chief check on its action being the governor's veto; a more centralized control of state affairs will be establish ed; and a shorter ballot wilHbe used in state elections. History of Constitution Dean Van Hecke - also traced the history of constitutional re visions in the state from the con stitution of 1868, which he stated as being thrust upon the state by "carpet-baggers" and northerners who were little con cerned with the best interests of the state, to the present re vision. In conclusion Van Hecke pointed out that the state legis lation has adequate power to en act all important measures, and that it should not be unduly hampered by the governor's veto, which will be much more effective than before.
