O, TUESDAY, MARCH 28, 1933 NUMBER 135 rt rr-7 IT r x WW f NOMINATIONS POSTPONED UNTIL MEETINGTONIGHT Disagreement on Interpretation Of Constitution Causes Ad journment of Session. Disagreement in constitu tional interpretation by the nominating committee and the organization membership of the University Y. M. C. A. caused a postponement last night of the nominations for next year. A similar meeting to approve the committee's list of candi dates and to hear nominations from the floor for the various officers will take place tonight at 7:15 o'clock in Gerrard hall. Important business, however, was transacted last night when the assembled Y. M. C. A. mem hers voted almost unanimously for the adoption of an entirely new constitution which was drafted by a special committee and presented at the session. Manv mteeral and minor changes were effected in the new articles. Members Disagree The assembly voted for the -nostnonement of the nomina- jr tions when the nominating com mittee omitted the office of vice president the members stating that the office was understood to te filled by the candidate for president who received the sec ond highest number of votes cast in the presidential election. The gathered membership, how- ever, interpreted the constitu tion differently, expressing that ) distinct nominations and ballot ing should be held for the office of vice-president. A complete ly new set of candidates by the committee was recommended for tonight's meeting. Changes in the constitution were mostly grammatical, but (Continued on last page) PLANS FOR TENTH DRAMA FESTIVAL RELEASED TODAY Secretary Fussier Announces Complete Schedule of Events For Annual Meeting.

The records of William Med- ford, chairman of the bad check committee, show that for the winter quarter up to March 11 there were 340 bad checks writ ten and involving a total amount of 3,276.25.

"Buc" Business Staff The business staff of the Buc cancer will meet tonight at 7:00 o'clock. V Spirit Of University Has Been Emblemized By Different Seals s- Latin Abbreviations Translated Reveal Simple Wording En circling Symbol on Seal. ! ' Latin not being in daily use, much less Latin abbreviations, it is doubtful that many stu dents have mastered the Roman short-hand encircling the Uni versity seal. Considerable con jecture as to the meaning of the symbols has been ventured, but when transcribed it is a most obvious group of words. The abbreviations stand for "Sigil lum Universitatis , Carolinae Septentionalis," which, literally translated, means merely "Seal of the University of North Carolina." Even more patent is the meaning of the "Lux, Libertas" which runs across the center of the present seal. As most stu dents have already ascertained, these words, "Light and Liber ty" have long symbolized the University's attitude and ap proach to education. The seal now in use is not the original one of the Univer sity. The first seal, which was selected by three men in July, 1791, at a meeting of the Board of Trustees. "They chose," says Kemp Plummer Battle in his history of the college, "the face of Apollo, the God of Eloquence, and his emblem, the rising sun, as expressive of the dawn of higher education in our State. When the University was closed following the Civil War, this seal, along with books be longing to the office of the treasurer, was deposited with State Superintendent of Schools Mclver. Because of legal tech nicalities, Mclver had to allow suit to be brought against him Cab Calloway Refuses To Play When Gate o Harlem Leader of Red-Hot Rhythm Band Seeks Safety in Loft of Warehouse When Angry and Drunken Crowd of Durham Negroes Attempt to Force Him to Continue. o A large amount of Carolina cash went for naught early yes terday morning when the King of Hi-de-hi-de-ho, Cab Callo way, failed to hold sway at Roycroft's warehouse in Dur ham as scheduled. Calloway and his Cotton Club orchestra had been booked to furnish the rhythm for a negro dance starting at 12:01 o'clock Monday morning. A special section had been reserv ed for white people wishing to hear the latest interpretations of the Harlem "torch" songs and to see the newest versions of the Charleston and the Black Bottom. The special section was rap idly filling, mostly with Caro lina and Duke students and their "dates,", when several hundred negroes rushed the southeast gate, overturned the ticket booth, and rushed madly to the stage where the Harlem king of Jazz was just warming up. Gate Crashed Some 2,000 other negroes and hundreds of whites waiting outside to purchase tickets thronged through gateways de spite the efforts of ten or more policemen and attendants arm ed with sticks to stop the mad rush. As the mob neared the stage, Calloway and members of his i j . i i . i orcnestra stopped playing and: began packing up their instru University Seals The radiant head depicted on the University seal of the early '90's (above) is that of Apollo, god of Wis dom and of Light. It can hardly be said to be a masterful portrait of the god. It was not long before the seal shown below was adopted, this being used in 1894-96. This was followed by the University seal which is now used, designed by Dr. Francis Kings ley Ball, then Professor of Greek in the faculty. so that the University could re gain the articles. In the Alumni Review of Jan uary, 1933, two former Univer sity seals, with brief commen tary notes, are pictured. Ap parently, the first seal is not in cluded here, as there seems to be no risinsr sun depicted. It would-appear, then,- that.the University of North Carolina has had at least four different emblems, viz., the first one de scribed above by Battle, the two pictured, and the one now in use. Is Crashed By Mob ments, several inebriated ne groes mounted the platform and threatened dire vengeance upon Calloway and his band unless they proceeded with the brawl. Others who had been unfortunate enough to buy tickets before a less expensive way had been provided sur rounded the cashier, seeking a refund. Sensing a delicate sit uation, policemen escorted Cal loway and his orchestra to the loft, where they remained through the long hours of the night. Appeal of No Avail The management appealed to those, who had rushed the gate to leave, declaring that the Har lemite had refused to play until the "One-Eye" Connelly's had paid the admission price. A few left. Others milled about and some of the more intoxicat ed negroes mounted the stage and put on a show of their own for the amusement of the crowd. The Carolina and Duke stu dents broke up several large cases and armed themselves with improvised clubs. The crowd dispersed slowly but at 2:00 o'clock more than 1,000 were still wandering aim lessly about, some still hopeful ly demanding their money back. Members of the negro post of the i . American Legion sponsoring the wno were (Continued on last page) Deficit Threatens Drive Will Commence to Finance Open Forum Lecture Series. With a large deficit looming in the financing of the 1933 Open Forum lecture series, members of the executive com mittee and a large number of students and faculty members interested in the series are making efforts this week to raise necessary obligations of the Forum for speakers' f eets, advertising, and incidental ex- penses. Members of the committee declared yesterday that efforts would be made to solicit back fees and collect donations prev- iously promised by a large group wno underwrote tne pro- gram.

GEOLOGISTS WILL STUDY CAROLINA COASTAL PLAINS Members of Department to Investi gate Sumetrical Depressions on Coast for Meteoric Origin. During the spring holidays, several members of the geology also te considered at the meet department, Dr. W. F. Prouty, Z an arrangements made for Dr. G. R. MacCarthy, J. A.11- Alexander, and an assistant, plan to investigate a number of symmetrical depressions or ways" in the coastal plains of North and South Carolina. This invpstio-atioTi. which was sched- uled for the original date of the spring holidays, is being made possible through the gen- ate interest at the meeting is the erosity of the Rockfeller Fund report of the dramatics commit for Research in Pure Science, tee- " At the last meeting the and will be extended" as far committee was appointed to from the starting point at Myr tle Beach as vacation time per mits. The purpose of the investiga tion is to ascertain, if possible, the origin of the depressions. For this purpose the magneto meter will be chiefly employed as it is capable of showing the presence of meteoric bodies, provided they have not under gone complete chemical disin tegration. Regional geological methods will also be used in ad dition to the physical methods. It is hoped that some of these depressions will yield sufficient miormation ior tne party to come to definite conclusions as to their origin. If evidence is hard to obtain near tne coast, it is possible that depressions luiuiw.niiaiiu inaj- svc wra. results.

Resolved: That all public utilities be owned and controll- ed by the federal government. Resolved: That the best and most effective method which Congress could adopt to remove the depression and stimulate business is to inflate the cur- rency.
