DI AND PHI HEAR
INAUGURAL TALKS
Assembly Votes Condemnation
Of University's Conservative
Policy of Athletics.
Winfield Blackwell's inaug
ural address filled the greater
part of the Dialectic senate's
first winter quarter session last
night.
In his speech Blackwell delved
briefly into the history of the
senate, but in the main he fo
cused his attention on the op
portunities offered by member
ship in the senate today. He
urged the senators to live up to
the purposes for which the or
ganization was founded, citing
the fact that by doing so some
of the group would evolve into
the statesmen which our coun
try needs. "We need statesmen,
not politicians," were his words.
Urged Debates
He passed on to the policies
that he has outlined for his ad
ministration. In the future the
senate is to consider bills of na
tional and world wide impor
tance as well as those which con
cern vital questions of campus
life. He urged heated debate
on all measures, for it is his
opinion that the benefits to be
derived from membership in the
senate are lost if discussion is
half-hearted.
PHI CONDEMNS POLICY
By a vote of 18-14, the Phi
lanthropic assembly voted
against the athletic policy of
the University on the bill: Re
solved: That the Phi assembly

Walker Percy of Greenville, Miss., Gives Chief Testimony in Prose
cuting Louis the Lip, Former Henchman of AI Capone, for
Brazen Attempt to Rob Home-Town Bank.
o - .
The testimony of Walker Perr
cy, Carolina freshman, who was
the unsuspecting spectator of a
$300,000 bank robbery, sent
Louis the Lip, Chicago beer
baron, to Atlanta penitentiary.
Possessing most of the elements
of a perfect melodrama, the rob
bery and consequent course of
events were concluded with a
happy ending.
The ?300,000 was delivered to
the Trader's Depository Bank
at Greenville, Mississippi, from
the Federal Reserve Bank at
New Orleans, on a call from the
president of the smaller bank.
Fearing a run on his bank, the
Mississippi president sent to
New Orleans for funds to pro
tect and establish more confid
ence among the depositors, The
money was sent to Greenville
and placed in a cage near the
cashier's window. Two plain
clothesmen were left to guard
it, and although left in full view
of everybody who entered, the
cash was considered in a safe
position.
Not Suspicious
Percy entered the bank at six
o'clock to find himself alone
with the cashier. His purpose
was to cash a small check, and
since he was in no hurry, he re-
mained at the window speaking
with the clerk. The two plain-

clothesmen had left the money
virtually unguarded while they
went out for supper. At 6:15,
while Percy was still standing
at the window, he was brushed
aside by a strongly built, decent
looking individual. The man's
appearance gave no cause for
suspicion, and supposing that
the man was in a hurry to be
waited on before the bank
closed, he stepped aside and
waited i;or this last customer
to be served, before resuming
his conversation with the cash
ier. The student noticed noth
ing out of the ordinary about
the man's behavior. The cus
tomer opened his coat slightly
and mumbled a few words to
the cashier, who proceeded
calmly to hand him all the money
in sight. Since his back was
turned toward Percy, the stu
dent could not seen the gun, held
in by a shoulder strap, which
was showed menacingly to the
clerk. The customer walked
calmly out of the-bank, tipped
his hat to Percy and drove off
in a powerful automobile.
Leaving the cage, the. cash
ier asked Percy, "Did you get a
good look at that fellow " Per
cy answered that he had. "Well,"
replied the cashier, as calmly as
ever, "that bird just stole

Joe Webb, new business man
ager of the Daily Tar Heel,
yesterday urged students con
scientiously to abide by the well
worn plea of "patronize our ad
vertisers." Today's issue of the paper car
ries one of the smallest adver
tising totals of the year, though
by no means is the discrepancy
caused by a lack of diligence by
the business staff. January,
February, and March are the
dreaded 'lean months" of local
advertising and the advertising
men have found it exceedingly
difficult to obtais insertions.
Webb stated thai several ad-
T8Ttlsing projects are behfg
planned that aie expected to in

vertising in the newspaper, fie"

of the student body in any such
projects which he might insti
