The North Carolina general assembly yesterday enacted into Their Birthdays This Month; Period Was Also One of Town And University Growth and Expansion. o March seems to be a month Student conduct in general during the present year has been on a very high plane and far above reproach, according to a statement made yesterday by Haywood Weeks, president of j the student body, in reporting a summary of work done by the present student council. This opinion, Weeks said, has keen corroborated by statements from members of the University administration, faculty, faculty executive committee, local mer chants, and local public officials. A member of the local police force professed that he had never observed better student conduct in general during his thirty years here. Observe Honor System "The observance of the honor system has also been better than in past years," Weeks asserted yesterday. "The faculty execu tive committee and the student council both have handled few er cases than formerly." Thirty-five cases have been handled by the student council during its term.

A large group of students, faculty members, and townsfolk, yesterday gathered in Memorial hall during assembly period and heard Norman Thomas, ex-candidate for President from the Socialist party, deliver a short talk which as he inferred, was a preface to his scheduled speech last night. The main point in Thomas' talk was that the era of capital istic nationalism is drawing to a close. The power of capital ism is gone forever, asserted Thomas, because it 'and its at tendant machinery was accept ed and now the consequence of that rule which is collectivism must oe acecptea. it is more reasonable to expect a social sys tem to die than to continue," Thomas said, "but we must look forward to what shall be next." Lack of Leadership Blamed One of the surest signs that point to the end of capitalism, according to Thomas, is the psy chological sign. The breakdown of any leaders it ever had, and the lack of genuine leadership at any time contribute most to the downfall of capitalism. . He cited as an example the case of Ivar Krueger, the American trained Swedish capitalist, as giving away to the depression even though he was one of the capitalistic leaders.

Scientific World Startled These depressions have been recognized for many years, but Hot until the recent making of aerial photographs have they been revealed in their true val ue. The scientific , world has been startled lately by the possi bility of their being of meteoric origin.

The Union Forum at a brief meeting Thursday night recom mended that the Graham Me morial board of directors offer to pay as much as one-half, of the cost of the proposed walk from the union building to Battle-Vance-Pettigrew dormitories. Plans for this walk, calling for a circle and the relaying of pres ent walks in the court between Graham Memorial and the dor mitories, have been approved by the grounds committee. No pro vision for it can be made in the University's appropriation, and for the construction to be un dertaken within the next year some organization on the cam pus must finance it. Seek Student Opinion The board of directors for the building, in meeting Wednesday, discussed the question and decid ed to get views of representative students before proceeding with the matter. One dissenting vote was cast in the Union Forum. Should the board of directors accept the recommendation and offer to pay for one-half the cost of the walk, other campus or ganizations will be approached to aid in financing the project. Other action taken by the group Thursday was the consid eration of informal entertain ments similar to those last fall. L. L. Hutchison was elected to fill the vacancy on the board of directors of Graham Memorial as representative of the Union Forum. . ' terest. 0ni , ana ouiei ocics. uouai V
