STUDENTS RETURN
FROM JEW YORK
Professor Stainback Conducts
Nine Engineers on Tour of
Northern Plants.
Nine senior students of the
school of electrical engineering,
under the direction of Professor
E. F. Stainback, returned last
Sunday from a six day survey
trip to New York City, where
they visited various points of
technical interest. -
Those to make the trip were:
J. C. Cordle, R. W. Foster, C.
M. Garrison, F. M. Glover, E.
W. Kerr, J. C. Little, W. L.
Ridenhour, H. F. Stewart, and
R. V. Frazier.
While in New York City they
inspected the broadcasting studi
os in the new Radio City. At
the Hudson Avenue station they
were shown one of the world's
largest generating units, each
of the two units having a capaci
ty of 214,000 horsepower. ,
The vast and modern labora
tories of the Bell Telephone
company proved interesting and
ffered them a chance to see the
first telephone that was made
by its inventor. They also in
vested the immense calculating
boards of the Pennsylvania Rail
way. As a matter of historical
interest they visited the Museum
of Science and Industry..
vOn the return trip the group
stopped in Conowingo, Pennsyl
vania, and made an inspection
tour through the hydro-electrical
plants. These are the most re
cent arid highly developed plants
of that type that exist today and
"were constructed at a cost of 52
million dollars.

UNION DIRECTORS
PLAN (3M ROOM
Small Side Lobby of Graham
Memorial to Be Converted into
Lounge by New Furnishings.
At the meeting of the board
of directors of the student union j
last Friday, plans were complet
ed for the conversion of the side
lobby of the first-floor of Gra
ham Memorial into a small club
room.
The room has hitherto been
used mainly for the voting in
campus elections. The directors
have bought furniture, rugs,
drapes, and all other necessities
to furnish the room. The room
will be used as a lounge, a card
room, and generally all other
purposes for which the main
lounge of Graham Memorial is
used.
At this meeting the directors
also decided that in place of the
three members elected to the
board by the union forum there
shall be in the future one mem-
ber elected by the interf ratern
ity council, one by the dormitory
council, and one member held
over from the outgoing board.
The directors of the union, al
so decided at this meeting that
the grill in Graham Memorial
will be closed during the sum
mer. ... . '
Present Requisites
Almost Identical To Old Standards
-o-
The fact that requirements J
for entrance to the : University
A.B. school in the : year 1907-
1908, with the exception of re
quisites in English and mathe
matics, . are exactly identical to
the entrance requirements re
cently drawn up by the Univer
sity faculty under the new sys
tem of revised curricula was
pointed out yesterday by Ben
Husbands, assistant registrar,
in a survey of the development
of entrance requirements at the
University.
The only differences in the
new entrance requirements
which will go into effect next
September and the requisites for
entrance in the University in
1907 are as follows: in 1907 a
total of two and one half units
had to be offered in-mathemat-
ics, as compared with two now
necessary; and only three units
of English were required in
1907, in comparison with the
four which will be needed for
entrance in 1934. !
In 1907-1908 the unit system
was first adopted and require
ments for admission to A.B. and
S.B. curricula were identical.
Orchestra Engaged
For Summer Dances
An orchestra under the joint
direction of Bow Bowman and
Fred Koch, Jr., has been engaged
to play for the summer school
dances this season by the sum
mer school social committee.
Two dances a week, one on
Friday nights and the other on
Saturday nights will be fea
tured. Other dances are given
during the week at the discre
tion of the committee.
Students that have attended
these dances for the past few
seasons are of the opinion that
these dances are gradually im
proving, and are now almost on
a par with those given during
the year by the Grail. They
are usually well patronized by
the summer school students and
friends of the University from
I nearby towns and cities.
COUNCIL DECID
TOH0USEA5.CH
Fraternities Favor Plan to Ac
commodate Chemists if They
Meet Here Nex Spring.
Favoring the plan of using
fraternity houses to help
ac
commodate members of the
American Chemical society if
the organization meets here next
spring, the interf raternity coun
cil met last night.
The group passed the motion
of . using all available fraternity
rooms to help accommodate the
chemical society by a vote of 25
to 1 and the plan will be sub
mitted tonight to the different
lodges for a final decision.
The council voted that, with
the exception of the first day,
rushing hours next fall will be
from 2:00 to 6:00 o'clock in the
afternoon instead of from 4:00
to 6:00 o'clock. This plan will,
however, have to be approved
by the faculty committee on fra
ternities. ,
The group decided to give
three plaques as awards to fra
ternities winning first places in
football, baseball, and basketball
interf raternity contests. If a
lodge wins a plaque three times
in succession, it will have the
right to keep the award as a
permanent prize.
To A.B. School
The required list of subjects wa$
as follows: English, three units ;
history, two units; algebra, one
and one half units ; plane geome
try, .one unit; science, one unit;
foreign language, two units ; and
elective units to make a total of
15. '. - ' .

ly passed by the faculty' are as
follows : English," . four unit's ;
foreign language, two units;
mathematics, two units; history
and social science, two units;

tives, enough to make 15 units.
Bringing out requirements
necessary to enter in 1880-1881,
Husbands' report showed that
for admission to the classical or
A.B. curricula applicants were
entered by examination only
and tested only in Latin, Greek,
English, and mathematics
For the philosophy curricula
in 1880 applicants were exam
ined only in Latin or Greek,
English, and matematics. It
was necessary at that time only
to have English and arithmetic
to receive admission to the
science studies.

LIBRARY RECEIVES
IMPORTANT BOOKS
Three Sets of Books Added
to
Collection of Drama.
The library has recently made
three important additions to the
Archibald Henderson collection
of American drama. Two of
these additions are in the form
of gifts presented by Dr. Archi
bald Henderson and Percy Mac
Kaye, well -known American
dramatist. The third addition
came from the University of
Chicago library on an exchange
for duplicate books from this
library.
The first of these additions
wasa group of 40 early Amer
ican plays presented by Dr. Hen
derson. These plays were print
ed in the period 1802-1814 and
give a good picture of the Amer
ican stage of that period.
. The second addition was pre
sented by Percy MacKaye who
has been visiting Chapel Hill.
MacKaye's contribution includes
20 plays by himself and others.
The third addition to the col
lection came from the University
of Chicago library on exchange
and includes 39 rare early
American plays.
VISITOR SPEAKS
TO PHILOLOGISTS
Dr. Knickerbocker Advises Revo
lution by Universities to Cre
ate Intellectual Order.
"Scholarship in a World of
Chaos" was f he subject' of a
lecture to the University Philo
logical society by Dr. William
Skinkle Knickerbocker, head of
the department of English at the
University of the South, Sewan
ee, Tennessee, in the Smith lec
ture room last night.
"Extravagant as the state
ment may be, I propose that the
universities of this country and
elsewhere have the prospect and
obligation to do what the Catho
lic church did in the fifth to the
sixteenth centuries, to create a
scheme of order inspired by the
recognition of the differences of
personalities, traditions, philos
ophies, and techniques, and by
their devotion to truth as their
sole criterion to find the clue if
not the security then to satisfac
tions far greater than those the
j Catholic church ever achieved,
stated Dr. KnicKerDocKer in
questioning the statement of
George Bernard Shaw that all
universities of the world should
be dynamited.
Shaw's Objection
George Bernard Shaw made
this statement because, he said,
tne war was caused Dy men
holding university degrees, and
the universities produced the
intellectuals who destroyed the
world. Given the world chaos
in which we live today, the cha
os in literature, religion, art,
etc., and conceding the many at
titudes of futility, Dr. Knicker
bocker proceeded to' point out
the possibilities of the univer
sities as social binders analagous
to, the Catholic church of the
middle ages.
He outlined his conception of
the idea of the University, frank
ly admitting his indebtedness to
Newman's famous book on the
subject,
"Through the beneficent ac
tion of scholarships, mastery of
technical skills, and freedom
achieved by generous contacts,
what is at present chaos may be
transmuted to cosmos, and we
may move from restlessness to,
peace," he remarked.
