BUDGET MISTAIiE
Charlotte Lawyer Presents Con
cise Case for University to
Advisory Committee.
University officials yesterday
heaped praise on Charles W. Til

committee, presented the case

dents to the state before the
joint appropriations committee
of the General Assembly in Ral
eigh Wednesday afternoon.
No information could be ob
tained last night on the action of
the appropriations committee
yesterday regarding the Univer
sity. Tillett .appeared before the
committee Wednesday as a mem
ber of the committee created by
the board of trustees and ap
pointed by Governor Ehringhaus
to investigate matters pertain
ing to consolidation. He ap
peared, it was said here yester
day, before the committee as!
much a detached businessman
interested in the welfare of the
state as a trustee.
Recommendations Wrong
Tillett, in presenting the Uni
versity's case, made the point
that the budget recommenda-
tions are thirty-three per cent
wronar. because of a mistaken

Equally vigorous was their
denial of the magazine's claim
that there existed on this cam
pus a faculty organization
known as the "Damyankee Club"
to which Dr. Chase belonged.
Wims reference to such a group
was branded as the figment of
some energetic journalist's wild
imagination.
Faculty Deny Claims
These charges were refuted
by eleven members of the Uni-
versity faculty in an open letter
a faculty bachelors' eating club
located at Mrs. Patterson's. It
nas been variously known as
"The Bachelor's Club" and "The
Thirteen Club."
The letter ridiculed the idea
any division of the faculty along
sectional lines. There has never
been an organized group of the
faculty known as the uam
yankees." Time is here adding
another legend to the already
voluminous apocrypha of Chapel
Hill."
Faculty members who signed

Described Chase Election
As for the faculty election of
Dr. Chase, the protesters of the

SCHEDULE
To Reveal
matic truth regarding Dr.
Chase's, rise to the presidency.
"The Committee of the Trus
tees designated to recommend
candidates for the presidency
had made its reports to the trus
tees. Several nominations had
been made, supported by various
people, and speeches favoring
this man or that were in pro
gress when one of the oldest
members of the board took the
floor.
" Mr. Chairman,' he said, 'I
am a Southerner, a Confederate
veteran and a Democrat. I have
voted for the last time for any
man solely because he is a South
erner, a Confederate veteran, or
a Democrat. My vote on this
question goes to the man whom
I believe to be best qualified for
the presidency Of the Univer
sity. That man is Professor
Chase.' That short speech settled
the question and the election was
practically unanimous."
Time's Side of Story
Beside this version, the vera
city of which is virtually incon
testable, the Time story seems
like a tale of the Arabian Nights.
In reference to Dr. Chase's call
to the presidency of New York
University, the magazine com
mented on his Chapel Hill elec
tion in the following engaging
but evidently erroneous fashion:
"The Hill's thirty Northern
professors, meeting occasionally
for talk and drink, called them
selves the 'Damyankee Club.'
President Chase was a member.
He was also, by 1919, the fa
culty's chairman, the college's
acting dean, the University's
acting president. In that year,
the story goes, the trustees, tired
of trying to agree on a new
president turned the matter over
to the faculty for a vote. Chief
candidates were a Southerner
and a Northerner. The 'Dam
yankee Club' tactfully cast 30
votes for the Southerner. The
other 170 professors voted for
Harry Woodburn Chase."

ROZZELL SPEAKS
AT ANNIVERSARY
OF ROTARY CLUB
Former Pastor of Methodist Church
Urges International Spirit
Of Understanding.
"In the face of the steadily in
creasing interdependency of one
nation upon another, the reac
tionary spirit of self-sufficiency
and seclusion that is abroad in
the land today must give way to
an international spirit of under
standing and brotherhood if our
civilization is to survive," the
Reverend Excell Rozzell, pastor
of the Methodist church in Len
oir and formerly pastor of the
University Methodist church
here, asserted in an address here
Wednesday at the anniversary
banquet of the Chapel Hill Ro
tary club.
Celebrating the twenty-sixth
anniversary of Rotary, the
Chapel Hill club made the event
a special occasion, invited all
former members to join with the
present membership for this ses
sion, and asked "Parson" Roz
zell, a very popular preacher
during his ministry here, to
come back "home" and bring a
special message.
"The days of seclusion have
passed forever," the minister as
serted. "We are at the begin
ning of another epoch that is go
ing to amaze the world. It is
going to be an age of service and
brotherhood, and in this new era
Rotary is going to play a prom
inent part, for this spirit of in
ternational fellowship is the
greatest thing in Rotary."
MURCfflSON TALKS
TO STATE WOMEN
Commerce Professor Outlines
Plans for Recovery to Con
vention of Women Voters.
Three definite proposed gov
ernment measures for speeding
the recovery of business, includ
ing a mild form of government
inflation, were outlined by Dr.
C. T. Murchison of the school of
commerce before the state con
vention of the National League
of Women Voters. Dr. Murchi-
son's speech on the subject,
"Government and Business Re
covery," was delivered at the
luncheon meeting of the conven
tion of the League Wednesday
afternoon in Raleigh.
The speaker stated that it is
necessary for our government to
"cooperate with other nations in
breaking down barriers of
trade" such as war debts and
tariff walls. He stressed the
fact that the South especially de
pends for recovery on the devel
opment of its export trade, cit
ing cotton as an example.
"Bringing about a program of
! reduction in the number of
working hours which constitute
a standard day's work" was ad
vocated as the next measure of
relief.
The method of inflation pro
posed by Dr. Murchison is "a
policy of government overdrafts
on Federal Reserve Banks." This
program would not include a pol
icy of free silver or the issuance
of greenbacks the speaker point
ed out.

BEARDAVERSAGE
OF EXPANSION HAS
COME TOA CLOSE
Weil Lecturer Concludes Lecture
Series on American Citizen
ship Here Last Night.
Delivering the last of the an-,
nual series of lectures on Ameri
can citizenship here last night
in Gerrard hall," Dr. Charles
Austin Beard, distinguished au
thor and historian, asserted that
the "age of Jeffersonian expan
sion has closed that there is no
more free and unoccupied land
to be seized or bought for occu
pation by American people."
Explaining that his views
were his personal opinions based
on his studies and travels, Dr.
Beard declared that "the addi
tion of other territories occupied
by alien races that cannot be as
similated to American citizen
ship is a betrayal of American
nationality, however large the
profits reaped by investors and
manufacturers from such opera
tions.
"Congress has declared a re
striction of immigration based
on nationality; let it extend the
principle, and apply it to peoples
that cannot co-operate in the
maintenance and development of
American society," he urged.
Freedom for Philippines
"This means," added Dr.
Beard, "absolute independence
for the Phillipines and also for
Porto Rico." He pointed out
that thousands of Porto Ricans
have been pouring into the
United States as American citi-
zens only to find themselves un
employed amid the miseries of
