MORE THAN LAST YEAR Ninety-nine members of Car olina publications staffs will re ceive key awards this year, it was announced yesterday after the weekly meeting of the Pub lications Union board. The num ber is slightly more than that given last year. Silver keys will be awarded this year instead of gold charms. The increased price in the gold keys would increase the costs to . inearly $700.00, but the silver keys, costing under f 3.00 apiece, will be greatly less than this .amount. The editors of the publica- lions were unwilling to cut the lists of eligible men submitted to the board, a process which weuld have been necessary had gold keys been decided upon. Consequently, the full lists were maintained requiring the pre sentation of silver keys. r Key Recipients . Those who wlil receive keys re as follows: Publications Union board: William T.

" DEMOCRACY THREATENED That Germany and Italy are better off under Hitlerism and Fascism, as claimed by propon ents of these dictatorships, is a false illusion that will not stand up under close scrutiny, but there is no denying the fact that American democracy is threat ened and "it may be that it is passing through the greatest crisis in its history," Dr. George Norlin, president of the Univer sity of Colorado, declared here last night in the first of a series of three lectures on American citizenship. He is discussing the trend of nationalism and its effects on America. Dr. Norlin spoke under the auspices of the. Weil lecture foundation, established by the families of Sol and Henry Weil in 1915. The second and third lectures will be given tonight and tomorrow evening at 8:00 o'clock in Gerrard hall and the public is cordially invited. President Frank P.' Graham introduced President Norlin. I Well-Versed. Dr. Norlin recently spent a year in Europe, most of the time in Germany, where he observed at close range the Hitler regime and his views last night were based largely on his first-hand study of the European situation. He said that after the world war America in disowning the League of Nations threw away an opportunity to make the world safe for democracy. Then liberalism failed in Italy and Germany and dictatorships, which give their subjects any thing but freedom, was em braced by a people who knew not where else to turn. "Hitlerism, Dr. Norlin said, is nothing more nor less than an extreme reaction against all the spiritual forces which were unloosed by the revolution of 1918 and which were given free play under the Republic against the liberalism, interna tionalism and pacifism which are now conceived to have 'stab bed the German army in the back," to have brought the Ger man people to their knees and kept them weak and impotent. Eighth Wonder Pointing to the menace to de mocracy in America, Dr. Norlin said "the debunking of Amer ican life began daring the Coo lidge administration. We have given ourselves over, throngh the help of our doughty incono clasts," to prolonged debauchery of self-criticism and self-disparagement which was so extreme in both quality and quantity as to have been called by one of our writers the eighth wonder of the world. "That orgy, however, fortu nately, largely spent itself from sheer satiety." Dr. Norlin said, "save with one respect. We can not talk with a friend without being told, we cannot pick up a book or magazine without see ing it in print, that democracy has failed. Most of this is, I dare say, loose talk. Democracy has not failed, relatively. It is fair to remember the American republic has withstood the as saults of time and change at least. as well as any polity in history up to now. The alterna tive to democracy is tyranny. C0I.IEDY DEPICTS PMESATHQLIE "Wappin Wharf Is Story of Buccaneers Who Pull Their Dirty Work from Land-Base; Presented Twice Tomorrow. The disruption of the home- life of a band of pirates who have retired from active compe tition to remain on shore and entice unlucky mariners 1 their doom on the rocks furnish es the theme of Charles S. Brooks "frightful comedy,' "TVappin Wharf," which will be presented by the Junior Play makers tomorrow afternoon and evening. The production will be under the direction of Harry Davis, who damatized the famous leg end. Performances will be given at 4:00 and 8:30 o'clock. The land-pirates, by means of false lights, lure passing ships to destruction on the rocky coast; and when the vessels crash, the swashbucklers collect the riches that wash ashore. Energetic Royalty The members of the royal family of England are not caught in idle moments during the action of "Whappin Wharf." While the King, battling the French for the glory of Eng land, is getting himself killed in combat, the Prince of Wales, disguised as a buccaneer, is rid ding the coasts of his country of pirates and, incidentally, is outfitting himself with a queen who has been nursed and made love to by pirates. "Whappin Wharf is the third annual production of, the Junior Playmakers. Previous presentations, "Cinderella" and "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," were especially adapt ed for the children by Mr. Davis. Mules Named For " County Case Men Two carloads of Federal mules were shipped to George Lawrence, CWA administrator and relief director for Orange county, this week for distribu tion in three counties. Eight of these mules were Orange county's share. The mules arrived in Mebane without names. One of them even had a cold. Lawrence, act ing as official reception commit tee, had no idea what to call hem, and didn't know what to do with the one with the cold. But, being a man of humane temperament, he sat up all night with the sick one and during the long hours of his vigil he christened . Orange county's eight. After a dissatisfied oerusal of proper names for mules Mr. Lawrence decided to call them bv the names of his case workers in the county. Again he struck a snag. There were eight mules, and ; there were not that many case work ers. . The eighth mule, though he was the balkiest, the ugliest, and the meanest mule in the lot, had to have a name. He could not, with his fellow mules, be loaned to Orange county farmers by the Welfare committee without a name. Lawrence did not, as seems to be the custom, wire President Roosevelt. Searching the roll of Chapel Hill's elite, he called the eighth mule "Whit," the balkiest, ugli est mule, after Starlin Whitaker, manager of the National Re emolovment Service in Orange county. Sadler Chosen As Frat Leader Bennett and Lothian Are Also Elected to Offices. Will Sadler of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was elected president of the Interfraternity council last night by a 15-8 vote over Chapen Litten, Sigma Chi. Curiously enough, each office was decided by a 15-8 margin. In the race for the secretary ship, Harold Bennett ' defeated Leo Mauley by the same score, and for the treasurership, Jim Lothian emerged victor over John Schiller by a similar count. The meeting was called to or der without the presence of a representative from Delta Tau Delta, the council voting to pro ceed in that representative's ab sence. Fraternities which have not elected new representatives for next year to the council are ask ed to hold such selective sessions as soon as possible in order to present them at the next meet ing. - Outgoing officers are: Irwin Boyle, president, and Bob Reyn olds, secretary and treasurer. Glee Club Concert Singers to Appear in Graham Memorial Sunday Afternoon. The University Glee club, un der the direction of H. Grady Miller, will present a concert at Graham Memorial Sunday after noon at 5:00 o'clock as a part of the Sunday afternoon series of musical programs. The pro gram will be the regular spring concert of the club. The recital will mark the first appearance of the club in the union. The group is ap pearing Sunday in response to demand for more vocal music on the Graham Memorial series, and a particular demand for the Glee club, which has been well received in concerts here this year. The last appearance of the club was at the high school de bating finals here last Friday. Political Interest Centered In Officers For Dances 0 Professor Bernard, Who Sees Little Change in Campus Politics in Three Decades, Describes Party Struggles and Manipulations Over Offices and Issues During His Student Days. o "Campus politics are about the same as they were 35 years ago, remarked troiessor w. . Bernard as the excitement of the campaign was dying away Wednesday night. "There has always been a sharp line drawn between the fraternity and the non-fraternity men the party that had the most support from the non-fraternity voters won without fail." However, in those day3, he said, the most important offices were those of the ball-managers, in contrast to the present inter est in the student body presi dency and the editorships of the publications. Recalling one hard campaign for the dance officers, "In 1900," he said, "a group of fraternities headed by the Zeta Psi's had nominated a very wealthy candidate who was not acceptable to most of the campus. Having nominated an opposing candidate, the S. A. E.s and the fraternities lined up on their side caucussed one rainy night and wrote out enough proxies to cover all the votes they could ever hope to get. These were worded as fol lows : UNIVERSITY CLUB NOUMTES FIVE FOR PRESIDENCY Committee Presents Four ana Group Another as Candidates for Leadership of Organiza tion Prior to First Induction Ceremonies. NEW MEMBERS INDUCTED Four men were presented to the University club last night by a nominating committee and an other was nominated from the floor, as candidates for the presi dency of the organization for 1934-35. Elections will take place next Thursday night The nominees are : Ben Blood, Georga Rhoades, Frank Willing ham, Phil Hammer, and Roy Wilder. The first four named 4 were the choice of the commit tee and Wilder was presented in a floor nomination. Induction Rites r Induction ceremonies for the forty rising juniors entering the club were conducted last night after the regular business meeting. Agnew Bahnson, president, was in cbarge of the program which was followed by refreshments. Routine plans for the enter tainment of visiting teams were also discussed. The new University club men are: Claude Rankin, Trip Rand, Neville Sloan, Phil Hammer, Gayle Rogers, Harry Mont gomery," Bill Fletcher, Billy Binder, Charles Ivey, Paul Al len, Irving Ruden, Frank Rog ers, James Craighill, Frank Pierce, P. C. Hutchinson, G. Faueette, Ed Joyner, Frank Wil lingham, John Barney, Bill Flor ance, Bill Anderson, Woodrow Tayloe, Irving Suss, Jack Clare, Walter Pijanowski, Arthur Sim kowitz, Tom Evins, George Hux, Robert Connelly, W. Dixon, Jack Snyder, Ed Moyer, Al Mc Annally, Francis Campbell, Bil ly Yandell, R. D. Bear, Jack Lowe, Tommy Irwin, Roy Wild er, and Francis Fairley. 35 Years Ago I hereby authorize Mr. John Doe to cast my vote for chief ball-manager on the 31st day of January, 1900. The S. A. E. party had the name and address of every stu dent that could vote. Before morning they had the proxies of two-thirds of the student body." . Before the night was over the Zeta Psi's discovered the plot, but it was too late to prevent its success. During the rest of the winter there was a vicious row between the two factions, the Zeta Psi's claiming that the predated proxy was illegal, and j the other side laughing thai they had the election "in the bag." Appeal to Board It appears that the original cause of the whole mixup was the fact that the Zeta Psi's had traded olT all except one of the offices of the senior class for the vote for chief ball-manager. This was the reason that the manipulator of the other party organized his campaign. Final ly there was an appeal to the faculty. Three men, President (Continued on page three)
