Barnes SSnds Request Asking
Student Body Presidents
To Attend Congress.
Reminding Seniors Of Urgent Meeting
AN EDITORIAL
Harper Barnes has sent out a
personal request to the new pre
sidents of the student bodies of
the colleges in the state asking
them to be present at the fourth
Annual Congress of the North
.Carolina Federation of Stu
dents, which gathers here Fri
day and Saturday.
Plans for the congress are
searing completion. Haywood
Weeks, president of the Federa
tion has prepared the Agenda
sheets for the discussion groups.
Many Expected
Letters have been received
from many colleges in the state
saying that they intend to have
from one to five delegates pres
ent. Some of these delegates
-will be official, while some will
come unofficially but for the pur
pose of gleaning information
irom the discussion groups.
The University will have of
ficial delegates wnicn were
chosen and announced by Presi
dent Barnes yesterday. Besides
these delegates there will be
many students who will be inter
ested in the work of the con
gress and who may attend any
ci the meetings.
A nominal registration fee of
four dollars will be charged each
delegate. This sum will include
Vouch and dinner Friday and
Saturday, and rooms for the
two nights. Although this sum
may not cover the entire ex
penses, it is hoped that by keep
ing the cost down, more schools
"will be able to send represents,
tives.
There is to be a meeting of
the present senior class tonight
at 8:30 o'clock- in Gerrard hall
for the purpose of considering
the action of the junior class,
taken at their meeting Monday.
Every member of the class
should make it his duty to at
tend the meeting in order to in
sure proper protection for his
interests. -The
juniors took a bold step
forward as they passed, almost
unanimously, the following three
motions : that no -contract could
entered into by the class
be
without the sanction of the
class ; that the junior class break
he Lown contract of $1,100,
hereby defeating the sugges-
ion that the class members be
axed further; that the junior,
class spend not more than $300
as its share in half the cost of
another orchestra, to be ob
tained for the dances.
On receiDt of the action of
the juniors, some of the execu
tives of the senior class argued
that the third year men would
have to stand by their half of
the contract should the seniors

decide to go through with it as
it now stands. After an investi
gation yesterday it has been
found that Lown has no legal
case against either, of the classes
nor any individual member of
either body. It has also. been
found that the junior class is
not required in any way to up
hold their part of the contract
should the seniors decide to
maintain it.
These same senior class exec
utives are determined to get the
senior class -to uphold the con
tract tonight and to take on
themselves any extra tax that
would be necessary to bring the
class the $800 needed to fulfill
their share of half the expenses
of the dance.
The situation is going to be
presented in this manner to
night and in order to get the
real sentiment of the class every
member must attend. The indi
vidual interests of every mem
ber will be questioned and if
every member is not present, ac
tion taken may offend those absent.

COUNCIL JUDGES
BAD CHECK CASE
Suspended Sentence Imposed on Uni
versity Student for Offense.
Only one case was brought up
before the weekly meeting of
the student council last Monday
night and that one concerned
the passing of a number of bad
checks by a student of the Uni
versity. Testimony and evi
dence was offered to the effect
that the defendant had not only
passed the bad checks but had
also been negligent in the mat
ter of taking them up and re
sponding to warning notices.
Since the defendant had been
before the council during the
fall quarter, on a similar charge,
the council imposed a suspended
sentence. If the offender passes
any more bad checks or if the
existing bad checks are not made
good before noon, Monday, May
8, he will be suspended from the
University for the remainder of
the spring quarter.

City, senior representative on
the student council last year
was elected carry-over repre

council. Before the elections
president Barnes gave a short
talk, the main point of which
was that the new secrecy
would have to carry out faith
fully the duties assigned to him

has been a custom in the past.

Superstitious? You bet those
Carolina Playmakers are super
stitious I Why, when they pre
sented Davy Crockett on a tour
they all clasped hands just be
fore each performance. And if
you know what's good for you,
you had better not whistle on
that stage; Marion Tatum says
they shy away from that.
Incidentally, Miss Tatum
finds it necessary to wear some
one else's clothes when she'c act
ing. She claims that, in her own
clothing, she feels too much like
herself instead of like the char
acter of a play. Further, she
doesn't like to speak the first
line of a production, nor does
she lika animals on the stage,
especially cows. Not that she
ever acted with a cow, but she
just doesn't like bovines.
Director Sam Selden reports
that superstitions are rather
prevalent among the many
small acting companies through
out the country but not so much
so in stable concerns like the
larerer theatres. Although he
himself knew of practically none
that were entertained by Play
makers themselves, it was dis
covered on investigation that
some of the Tar Heel actors and
actresses did have their own
personal jinxes and good omens.
What! No Jinx?
Eugenia Rawls (from south
Gahgiah) looks only for good
omens; she confesses that she
has a rabbit's foot.
Jo Orendorff has to be fright
ened to act well. Besides, that,
her make-up must be just so.
And besides that, she must pin
something in a secret place, be
it either a remembrance from
someone, or thirteen cents, so
that she will have inspiration,
something to act to.
Selden didn't say he believed
all the weird stories he knew,
but he did admit he was fired
once from a group of actors, ap
parently because he had an old
camel-back trunk, and camel-
back trunks, are jinxes that
actors want to steer clear of.
If you want good luck, don't

Report of Bureau of Vocational
Information Made by Act
ing Director SchnelL
The annual report of the Bur
eau of Vocational Information
issued yesterday -by Herman
Schnell, present acting director,
revealed that seventy-five Uni
versity students have been in
terviewed and given informa
tion regarding the selection of
vocations. No men have been
placed in positions through the
bureau as yet this year.
A similar report issued last
year showed that 100 men had
been interviewed for that per

placed. It is expected, however,
that a number of placements
will be made during the remain

F. Bradshaw, who is the official
director. Henry Johnson, Jr.,

The bureau aims to assist the
student in makingthe necessary
adjustment between education
and work after graduation and
to help his selection by supply
ing him with a broad knowledge
of openings and their demands
I that will serve as a background
for an intelligent choice. Each
year representatives of various
firms visit the acting director
and endeavor to contact stu
dents with the most promising
ability. This service of the bur
eau has been extremely successful.
Figures for past years show
that during the year 1929-30

Under State Law Concerning
Minors, Contract Thought
Not to Be Binding. '
In view of the action taken by
the juniors Monday night, when
the third-year class rejected the
proposed extra charge for junior-senior
dance bids and moved
to break Bert Lown's contract,
the senior class will meet to
night at 8:30 o'clock in Gerrard
hall to decide whether an extra
charge will be placed on senior
class members to make up the
dance expense deficit or whether
the group will accept no further
charge and break the agreement
with Lown.
Arlindo Cate, president of the
senior class, yesterday expressed
confidence that the members of
the group were interested
eneugh in having the dances to
levy upon themselves any extra
charges necessary to make up
their share of the expenses.
The question of an extra
charge for dance bids came up
because of a deficit in the senior
class treasury, and the executive
committees of the two classes,
meeting in joint session Thurs-.
day night, agreed on an extra
charge of 50 cents for the bids.
Juniors Object
The extra assessment was ob
jected to by the juniors because
it was to be levied on both class
es, although there was a surplus
in the treasury of the third-year
group.
The committees recommended
hat the 50 cents be charged
