A special meeting of the en tire freshman class hn? hppn called by President Nate Lips comb for 10:30 o'clock this morning in Gerrard halL The meeting is to be for the purpose of a reconsideration and a new vote on the matter of the proposed freshman dance. At a meeting held the last part of last quarter, a vote was taken on the question in whch those members of the class present voted for a formal dance. This was on the understanding that a series of dances would be spon sored jointly with the sopho more class. Student Objection After the vote had been taken there was considerable objection to the decision reached on the grounds that insufficient notice of the meeting was given and that the representation present was not large enough to give a true voice of the sentiment of the class. This movement was led by Norman Kellar, who pre sentfcd a petition signed by some sixty members of the freshman class . to the class officials. The issue at the meeting this morning will center around the formality or informality of the dance. President Lipscomb, who has taken an Impartial attitude in the entire matter, issued a statement at a meeting of the executive committee Wednesday night saying that it was his sin cere wish that the best interests of the class he observed. Special notice is called to the fact that the place of meeting has been changed from Memo rial hall, as was originally an nounced, to Gerrard hall. This change has been made because of conflicts with the North Caro lina Dramatic association. April Law Issue Carries Feature On Constitution Featuring a discussion of North Carolina's proposed con stitution and carrying leading articles by other authorities, the April issue of the North Caro lina Law Review was received yesterday for distribution to local subscribers and subscribing barristers throughout the state and elsewhere. The review, which . follows the usual form of having three leading articles in the first sec tion and case comments by stu dent editors in the last, features a leading article, Dean M. T. Van Hecke's discussion, entitled "A New Constitution for North Carolina." Van Hecke in Favor PnintiTiff out the fact that North Carolina has not had t general revision of her consti tution since 1868, Van Hecke, who has been an able adviser in the new movement towards revision, suggests that, in view of the fact that so many changes have taken place, ' the people might not be wrong in accept ing the new constitution when the matter comes up for a pleb iscite next November. The new stitntion has already been VrfVAAw accepted by the legislature. The other two of .the leading articles were written by Philip (Continued on page two) Winston Emphatic In Defending Lee Militating against usual con ceptions of his subject and stat ing that he had found that he could take almost nothing for granted, Judge Robert Winston yesterday spoke at the Bull's Head on his latest biography, "Robert E. Lee." Beginning with his statement as to the fallibility of popular beliefs about Lee, Winston went on to give examples of the points in which he found traditional ideas lacking in truth. Lee Powerless In answer to the contention that Lee could have averted the war by the slightest twist of his wrist, the speaker stated that the hero in that respect "was as powerless as an autumn leaf in a West Indian hurricane," and was, politically, of so little con sequence at the time before the war that the papers rarely paid great attention to his move ments. Winston next took up the fight against the charge that Lee was a secessionist and had inherited the attitude from his father, "Light Horse Harry," stating that Lee's thoughts were center ed on "his mother, Washington, and the Union." Finally, in the role which has attracted considerable attention, Judge Winston saved the Con federate hero from the reputa tion of austerity to which so many, model-seekers have . con demned him, saying that he had been far from the gloomy per son he was reputed and had ived the happiest days of his life after the war in the period in which he is usually repre sented as horribly persecuted. Freshmen Make Strong Protest To Compulsory o University Must Require This Work, However, in Order to Comply with Rules of Education Association. While gymnasium may add muscle to arms, legs, and waist, and while it may add a few inch es to chest expansion and in crease lung capacity, prevailing freshman opinion considers it is an evil. Freshmen as a whole seem to think that gym is un- 1 1 m t necessary, advancing tne iact that they have gotten along without it until they came to Carolina. A surprising number of fresh men do not want added muscle. One freshman complains that he is so tight with muscle that he can no longer relax and no long er sleep comfortably. Perhaps the most common complaint is that the added muscle increases the sizes of certain organs of the body until clothes become too tight and have to be discard ed, an economic evil. Then there is the classic story of the frosh who likes his clothes to fit snug ly, who came to "collitch" with a new tuxedo and was soon un able to adorn himself therewith. That the work of pushing up dumbbells is .too strenuous is a common complaint. Thirty min utes without intermission leaves them "pooped out," world-weary, or just plain tired. One freshman querulously protested that he often missed supper be cause his legs refused to navi gate to Swain. Very few stated that gym interfered with school work, although they wistfully added that they could well use the extra half -hour. George Malone, Missing For Two Weeks, Located In Florence, S-C. George H. Malone, University senior who disappeared March 21, has been located in Florence, & C, according to a communica tion from the student's father received yesterday by Dr. K. C. F"razer of the department of gov ernment. The message was re lated by Dr. Frazer to Dean of Students Francis F. Bradshaw. The dispatch, said Dean Brad shaw, contained no other infor mation regarding Malone s ac tions except that he had a job in the South Carolina city. The student reported this fact to his father during a telephone con versation with the latter. No reason for the boy's action was given, nor any account of the manner in which he was lo cated.. x Malone left Chapel Hill on a Durham-bound bus Wednesday, March 21, and no further news of -him had been heard here since except a report that he had attempted to enlist in the army. Officials, at the Richmond, Va., recruiting station wired here Tuesday that they had recog nized the missing student from a picture in a newspaper. George Malone, University senior, was located yesterday at a rooming house in Florence, S. C, where he was living under Juniors-Seniors to Meet A j oint meeting of the junior and senior classes will take place Monday night at 7 :30 o'clock in Gerrard hall for the purpose of selecting dance leaders for the annual junior-senior dance set. All members are requested to be present. Gymnasium Work Almost unanimously the freshmen are opposed to com pulsory physical training. What ever zest there may be in a pair of dumbbells is taken away be cause they are forced to use them. From time immemorial dark and bloody schemes for evading gym have been hatched in the fertile brains of the fresh men, the plans invariably com ing to naught- It is admitted that the classes would often not i be full if attendance were not required, but simply because it is compulsory it is held to be an infringement on the personal liberty of the student. The attitude taken the instructors varies, he is regarded as a towards By some personal enemy. One boy darkly said that one is going to shout "Com bination" just once too often, and something will happen. By others he is held to be something to take as it comes. One even went so far as to declare that he regarded his instructor as "puppet" Some sympathize with their instructors and mar vel that they are able to go through several classes a day, marvel that they are "able to take it." Fresh is the incident last quarter when they booed the instructor and had to sling dumbbells around for an extra five minutes. The revolt of the masses oc curs when the subject of going to gym in the rain is mentioned. (Continued on page two) From University an assumed name. He had nev er been in Richmond, Virginia, as reported. Malone, son of John W. Ma lone, Pensacola, Florida, banker, at firstcienied his identity, but under the investigation of Chief of Police E. R. Mclver of Florence later broke down and admitted that he-was the lost Carolina student. According to Malone, he went to Florence March 22, the day after his disappearance, and found employment in a local au to paint shop where he has been working the last ten days. He said that he had been promised a permanent position at a Florence motion picture " house. He was registered under the name of George Murphy. He averred that he intended noti fying his parents as soon as he was located. Malone gave no reason for his leaving the- University, but in a later telepnone conversation a mm m a with his father in Pensacola, he is quoted as having said he left because he was becoming dls satisfied with his studies. He will meet his father today. According to a news dispatch, Malone appeared in the best of health and seemed happy after communicating with his father, who had instituted a nation- wide search for his lost son.
