STAFF PROTESTS
YEARSUSPENSION
OFNEEDITOR
tAuthorizedPublishing of Tactless
But Truthful Story Causes
Action From Council.
The entire managing board
and all associate editors of the
jdaily newspaper at McGill Uni
versity in Montreal, Canada,
Jiave resigned as a protest
against the action of the student
council of that school in suspend
ing news editor Ernest Crown.
Beer Story
The cause of the suspension
,was a news story entitled "Beer
Infuses Students With Care-Free
Jollity." The story reported the
actions of a group of students
,ho went to visit a Montreal
brewery. The beer was plenti
ful, and after the visit the stu
dents were shown into the bar
room where the facilities were
placed at their disposal. The
final report of the Chemical In
dustries Club which conducted
the inspection of the brewery
was, "the machinery and brew
ing apparatus in Dawes Brew
ery were the best ; the minority
were, of the opinion that Dawes
ale was good ale, but still would
like to see the Black Horse."
i The- day after this story was
.printed the issue of the paper in
which it appeared was tacked on
the bulletin board with the fol
lowing notice on it: "No more
publicity on beer drinking stu
dents." Punish Responsible Person
fThe student council at its last
meeting decided that the person
responsible for the story should
be suspended for the college
year. Inasmuch as News Edi
tor Crown had read the story be
fore it was sent to the printer,
it was decided to lift the re
isponsibility from the reporter.
v The sentiment of the student
leaders is that the student coun
cil is making a mountain out of
a molehill. In an editorial the
resigning staff speaks of the
story as being, "at its worst,
tactless, but essentially truth
ful." This protest is based on
the fact that the man suspended
naa worked tor lour years on
the oaoer. The editorial closes
:with the statement, "The deci
sion -of the editorial board had
.been .carefully Considered and
"iwill stand until the council sees
fit to reinstate the news editor."
Don Shoemaker, chairman of
the Daily Tar Heel editorial
board, commented on the origin
.al story in his column Our Times
in the issue of Saturday, Decem

Two Npw CWirsps Will
Be Given This Winter
'
. It was announced yesterday by
A. W. Hpbbs, dean, of the school
of liberal arts, that two new
courses will be available for the
students in the school of liberal
arts.
The first is Comparative Lit
erature, an intensive study of
"Lessing and Schiller," which is
to be taught by Dr. E. C. Met
zenthin. The time for the class
is tentitively set at 4:00 o'clock
th the afternoon and the class
will be conducted five times a
week. This course was offered
: in previous catalogs, but it is to
be considered a new course be
cause of the different treatment
of the subject matter. Students
intending to take this course are
advised to see the instructor at
room 115 Saunders before this
vacation period; graduates and
undergraduates will be allowed
to register in this subject.
The second is geology 57, a
study of the geography of North
America, which will be con
. ducted five times a week, and is
open to sophomores, juniors and
seniors. :K. R. Byerly will be the
instructor. -

Senate Speeding Action
The senate judiciary commit
tee at its first meeting yester
day referred all prohibition re
peal legislation to a sub-committee
heard by Senator Blaine
(Rep., Wis.), a foe of national
prohibition.
Relief Bill Up in House
Plunging directly into issues
which must be settled if an ex
tra session is to be avoided, con
gress yesterday wrestled with
the troublesome problems of pro
hibition, farm relief, and appro
priations. Roosevelt Works on State
Franklin D. Roosevelt's atten
tion yesterday was upon New
York state's Republican legisla
ture which was to consider his
proposals in behalf of "drastic"
reorganization in the New York
City government.
Indian Flier Held for Murder
Edward de Larm, Yaqui In
dian aviator who two years ago
became the hero of a South
American republic for his dar
ing exploits, yesterday at Long
Beach, Cal., found himself play
ing a leading role in the investi
gation of the mysterious slaying
of Captain Walter Wanderwell,
globe-trotting adventurer.

WILMER HINES WAS RE-
cently obtained to referee a co
ed basketball battle. Wilmer had
a pair of clean white linen pants
and the girls said he looked
"rite cute." The game had been
going for a while when three of
the girls collided and all sprawled
to the ground. Hines rushed up
from the other end of the court
where he had been eyeing some
frail and said, "Any casualties,
girls ?" Mercy me, Wilmer, how
tender and educated you are be
coming. The game went on into
the last quarter when some
roughness was overlooked and
one of the gals lost her temper.
She ran up to the referee and
shouted, "Listen here, Hines,
you don't know a damn thing
about basketball, you haven't
called a foul all this game."
CAROLINA FOOTBALL PLAY-
ers have taken to almost unbe
lievable activities. Tom White
has a habit of building fires in
box bushes at a certain woman's
collegen Virginia. George Bar
clay has left the narrow path
and taken it upon himself to try
and further Carolina football
posterity, saying "To hell with
basketball, Dave McCachren is
taking care of that." Then Ralph
Jelly" Gardner became an as
tronomer over the week-end and
gazed at the stars from a new
observatory which is located on
the outskirts of Raleigh. Jelly
said the mist bothered the hea
venly actions but that he saw
enough.
Erratum
The management of The
Daily Tar Heel wishes to cor
rect any belief that might be
prevalent on the campus as a
result of a remark made in
Sunday morning's "Ink Well"
column that there was any
stuffing of the ballot box in
either of the recent straw
polls for Vice-President.
Several Votes for various
candidates were at the time
disregarded in the first vote.
But an investigation later re
vealed that all of these had
been officially cast and should
have been tabulated. In the
second poll each student was
required to register his vote,
and the counting of the bal
lots was entirely in the hands
of the student council.
Committee Nominates
Dr. Louis R. Wilson
For Vice-Presidency
(Continued from first page)
carry out the mandate of the
1931 legislature providing for
consolidation of the state insti
tutions of higher learning.
Acceptance Not Sure
The committee announced that
it had not communicated with
Dr. WTilson and did not know
whether he would accept if
elected at the next meeting of
the full board January 14.
The committee spent a full
day and part of the evening yes
terday interviewing members of
the faculty and receiving writ
ten nominations from them.
Reports from these interviews
indicate that over seventy-five
per cent of the 'full professors
,who participated in the inter
views were strongly in favor of
Dr. Wilson. It was also stated
that faculty opinions on the se
lection of a head for the Univer
sity had never been so unified
except in the choice of Dr. Gra
ham. The committee which made
the selection was composed of
former Governor Angus W. Mc
Lean, chairman ; Hon. Josephus
Daniels, Arthur M. Dixon, and
Judge John J. Parker.
An Important Call
Dr. Wilson is recognized as
one of the outstanding librarians
of the country, his call to head
the graduate library school r at
the University of Chicago beragi
it i-: i x. j.i i f 4
one ui uie xngiiest mat can cu ae
to a librarian. s
He was known here as a busy
builder whose hand had been in
all important University activ:
ties for decades and whose indi
vidual constructive influences
had made to bloom and prosper
several enterprises of major pro
portions. Organized Extension Division
In this line Dr. Wilson organ
ized the University extension
division and was its first direc
tor, 1912-21. He assisted in se
curing funds for and helped to
organize the University Press,
becoming its first director, 1922-
1932. He was instrumental in
securing a grant from the Car
negie Corporation and organiz
ing the library school, of which
he was the first head.
He assisted in the" founding
and was the first editor, 1912-24,
of The Alumni Review; a mem
ber of the committee to draw up
the constitution for re-organization
of the Alumni Association
in 1912; executive secretary of
the Alumni Loyalty Fund Coun
cil until recently.
Activities in State
He is accredited as being the
person who wrote a memoran
dum to President Chase in 1920
which was largely instrumental
in setting in motion the move
ment which resulted in the leg
islation in 1921 for what became
known as the $20,000,000 pro
gram for the educational and
charitable institutions of the
state. He served with Presi
dent Graham as the University's
other representative on the Con
solidation Commission of the
state's higher institutions.
Dr. Wilson's thirty-one years
as librarian were brilliant, the
institution expanding from 32,
000 volumes to 235,000 volumes,
outgrowing two buildings, and
now being quartered in the pres
ent $625,000 structure.
He has also received much rec
ognition in library circles, and
has been a member of the Advis
ory Board of Editors of the
Journal of Adult Education.
Scientific Society to Meet
There will be a meeting of the
Elisha Mitchell Society, local
scientific organization, tonight in
Phillips hall at 7:30 o'clock. The
program .will consist of address
es by H. N. Jenks and Dr. H. V.
Wilson.
Brooks Arose From
Public School Ranks
To Present Position
(Continued from first page)
dismissed. An investigation
conducted by the committee on
academic freedom and tenure of
the American Association of
University professors reported
that the determining factor in
the dismissal was the personal
tension that existed between
President Brooks and Doctor
Taylor. The official reason giv
en was that a lack of funds
necessitated the curtailment of
that department.
When Louis H. Wilson, editor
of the Technician, weekly State
College paper, was expelled in
the spring of 1932, a similar fu
rore was created. Wilson had
criticized Governor Gardner and
President Brooks in his column.
The feeling was prevalent that
had Wilson been an ordinary stu
dent and not editor of the paper,
he would have been reinstated
despite the reason given out that
he had failed to pass the' required
amount of courses.
His Numerous Works
The newly-appointed vice-
president's published works
make an imposing, number. In
character with his profession!
most of them deal with academic
subjects. The Story of Cotton
and the Development of the Cot
ton States and Our Dual Govern
ment are two examples of the
textbooks for high schools
Brooks has had "published.
Brooks has also been active iii
the Democratic party activities
in the state. In 1916, he wrote
a book on Woodrow Wilson's
first presidential term.
Brooks is the recipient of the
degree of LittD. from Davidson,
1918, and has received the de
gree of LL.D. from Trinity in
1919 and the University in 1920.
'NO MORE ORCHIDS" TO
BE SHOW AT CAROLINA
Carole Lombard stars in to
day's presentation at the Caro
lina theatre, Columbia's "No
More Orchids." Lyle Talbot,
who had " a prominent part in
"Three on a Match," has the
leading male role. He portrays
an alert young lawyer with
whom Miss Lombard is in 4 love,
but whom her wealthy old grand
father dislikes. The latter re
fuses to lend money to her fath
er, whose bank is in financial
trouble, unless she marries a
Prince. He thinks this marriage
would make a proper match with
royalty. The supporting cast
includes Ruthelma Stevens, Jam
eson Thomas, Allen Vincent, Ed
J. Le Stain, and Arthur House
man. NUMBER CHANGES DUE
TO ADDITIONAL STATIONS
The change in numbers in the
new telephone directory was
caused through the numbers of
pay stations and private resi
dences being in the same num
ber block, resulting in an inef
ficient and confusing system, ac
cording to J. S. Bennett of the
University service plants.
In Chapel Hill six years ago
there were only six pay stations
while today there are thirty-six
of them. At first, numbers in
the same range caused no trou
ble, but the increase in the num
ber of pay stations made the sit
uation more complex. With the
numbers of the residences which
were one time in the .pay sta
tion block changed the operator
will no longer have to look in the
directory for the pay station
number to avoid mistakes.
