One of the largest of this
year's meetings of the Interna

in Graham Memorial Sunday
night to hear Dr. Erich W. Zim
mermann, professor in the com
merce school and author of
tries," speak on the tariff ques
tion and what that attitude of
the present administration will
probably be toward it.
After Zimmermann's talk on
this subject, Don Becker took
over the chair to lead discus
sions from the floor.
Emphasizing the fact that
the new administration 'was
working more for the entire
country than for a privileged
few, Dr. Zimmermann express
ed his belief that the tariff re
vision would be such that
would benefit the so-called "for
gotten man" rather than those
industries which wish to be pro
tected merely for more personal
profit. v
Tenant System Harmful
"The tenant system in the
south must be done away with
before there can be much pro

Zimmermann stated in expound

was the topic presented to the
regular Monday firatherincr of
the freshman class yesterday
morning in Memorial hall by
John Obie Harmon, manager of
Swain hall, erstwhile president
of the student body, and World
War, veteran.
A variety of topics was dis
cussed by the speaker, who
started out by discussing some
of the changes that he would
like to see take place in the life
of the campus.
One of . these was the passing
of the solvent fraternity, and
the professional joiners. This
type of so-called poor rich was
described vividly by the speak
er as the type of person who is
always having girls up for the
week-end, sponging on his
friends, and then flunking out
of the University, leaving a trail
of bad debts behind him. "There
are just about two organizations
that are worthy of remaining
on the campus," stated Harmon,
"one of these is Phi Beta Kap
pa, and the other , one is the
Order of the Grail."
