PACULTY OF LAW
SCHOOL DEVISES
NEW REGlMTIONS
Two Rulings Affect Entrance
Requirements and Extra
curricular Activities.
Student Council Takes Jurisdiction
Over After-Dance Conduct Offenses
GO INTO EFFECT IN 1935
Two new rulings affecting en
trance requirements for law
school and participation in ex
tra curricular activities by law
students have been drawn up
by the faculty, and administra
tive board of the law school, ac
cording to an announcement yes?
terday by Dean M. T. Van Hecke.
The first of the two regula
tions reads as follows: "Begin
ning in September, 1935, all regu
lar applicants for admission to
the law school must have re
ceived a grade of 'C or better
in at least 50 per cent of their
rundergraduate courses."
According to the second rul
ing, "Beginning at the same
time, no law student shall be eli
gible to participate in major
extra-curricular activities unless
he maintains a 'is average m his
Jaw school work. :
Reasons for Rulings
In explaining the first regula
tion, Dean Van Hecke stated
that there are three classes of
students entering the law school :
college graduates, candidates for
combined degrees, those who
have had as much as three years'
work leading to an: academic de
cree, and those entering under
the old two-year requirement by
-virtue of the exception m the
trustees' regulation." .
The first two" groups, Van
Hecke said, are required by the

'Hay Fever" Will Be Presented
By Playmakers, in Memorial
Hall May 24, 25, and 26.
Responsibility for the behav
ior of fraternity men after
dances was assumed by the Stu
dent council at a meeting of fra
ternity presidents in Gerrard
hall yesterday. j
The announcement was made
through an address read by
Frank Abernethy, vice-president
of the student body, in the ab
sence of President Virgil Weath
ers. -
"There has been the growing
feeling that there should be one
specific body to deaLwith the
entire problem of after-dance
conduct," stated Abernethy,
"and the council has taken on
that responsibility." The coun
cil will hear all complaints, he
explained, , before its weekly
meetings, and at those meetings
there will be an opportunity for
any offender to present his de
fense. . .
"The policy of the council in
the future," he said, "will be the
firm supervision and regulation
of the activities, and conduct of
fraternities, particularly on
dance week-ends, in relation to
the rules as set forth by the Uni
versity Dance committee, the
faculty committee on fraterni
ties, the interfraternity council,
or any other body whose activi
ties are related to the conduct
and activities of fraternities."
That the Student council has
assumed responsibility for after
dance conduct in fraternities
does not relieve them of the re
sponsibility to better the conduct
of their members, said Aber
nethy. Each fraternity presi
dent must imDress UDon his
group the fact that there is
Student council regulation pena
lizing all disorderly conduct on
the campus. The council means
to enforce this regulation, he
said, and it is up to the fra
ternities to see that their mem
bers comply with it.

"Hay Fever," Noel Coward's
modern and fast-moving come
dy, wilt be presented by. thef Car
olina Playmakers May 24, 25,
and 26 in Memorial hall. This
-will be the last production of
this seanson's bill, and takes the
place of the Forest theatre pro
duction of Shakespeare's "Ham
let." v
The play concerns a week-end
3arty of a temperamental and
artistic English family. The fa
ther, is a novelist, the mother, a
retired actress, the son, an art
ist, and the daughter has no
profession. Each member of
the family invites his opposite
an character to their country
home for the week-end, and the
.seemingly serious but amusing
complications which result are
farcically told by ' the play
wright. '
' Coward was born in England
in 1899. He was first recognized
in theatre eircles in 1924 with
the production of "The Vortex."
According to an article in Van
ity Fair by Keith Winter, dram
atist, "he was hailed as a heav
en-sent star by the theatre, and
as a nasty-minded playboy who
was shaking the . moral founda
tions of England by many cori
servative people. 'There is no
one like Coward, and probably
never will be. His success may
be attributed mainly to the fact
that he knows himself."
The playwright is known as
a composer, actor, director, and
producer.
Discussing an entirely new
plan for the orientation of the
first-year men, the freshman ad
visory committee recently ap
pointed by Jack Pool from the
membership of the rising senior
class held its second- meeting
yesterday afternoon in Graham
Memorial with Dean Bradshaw
in attendance.
The new plan, which is a pro
iect of the fourth-year class,
initiated by its recently elected
president, has for its central
idea the giving of more personal
attention than has been done in
the past to the members of the
freshman class.
According to the measures
which have already been agreed
upon, the class of new men who
enter next fall will be divided
into groups of between 15 and
25 individuals under the person
al supervision of a member of
the committee.
Personal Guidance
Each group supervisor will be
responsible for the members of
his division throughout their
first year in the University. Af
ter having taken them through
orientation week, he will be con
sulted whenever any one of them
is involved in any matter con
nected with loans, scholarships,
illness or Student council action.
It has already been agreed
that there will be three meetings
of each division, two during ori
entation week and one sometime
later in the year. These will be
held at stated meeting places
and will be announced before
hand. .
The committee also decided
yesterday that President Gra
ham's annual reception for the
incoming students will be given
to smaller groups at scheduled
times, and that there will be a
spedal cheering practice spon
sored by the University club in
either Kenan or . Emerson
stadium.
For the purpose of receiving
more training for its new task
the advisory committee will
meet several times more during
the next few weeks. It will
strive for a certain uniformity
in the information which each
member will 'give to his group
of freshmen.

It was announced yesterday
by the executive committee of
the Foreign Policy League that

United States ambassador to
Mexico, will speak at the Uni
versity next Tuesday, May 22.
The league, which was found
ed on the campus this quarter
by a group of interested stu

of its purposes the securing of
speakers prominent in world af
fairs to appear at the Univer
sity. Mr. Daniels will be .the
first on the league's program to

The regular meeting o the
group slated to be held last night

made, and the executive com
mittee decided that no new top
ics should be discussed until af
ter this event. It is hoped that
a regular meeting will be held
next Wednesday.
Daniels Accepts

ceived from Daniels with regard
to the invitation extended to him
by Ralph Gardner, president of
the league. Attempts are being
made to hold the address -at
chapel period with compulsory
attendance for the freshmen and
with extension of half an hour
of class time so that upper
classmen may feel free to attend
without ganger of missing regu
lar classes.

club have sent out letters to 36

ized at their institutions.;

His College Days and Praising Carolina Athlete.
-o
Chapel Hillians, like townfolk
in every other town in the coun
try, enjoy reflecting and recall
ing to mind visits paid to them
by former lesser lights who have
since become famous. It is with
pride that residents of Chapel
Hill look back at the visit once
paid them by Franklin D. Roose
velt of the United States and
then Governor of New York.
In the fall of 1929 Governor
Roosevelt visited Chapel Hill
during (a southern tour. After
making several speeches at Ral

during the presidency of Wood
row Wilson. In the party that
accompanied Roosevelt were
Daniels. Dixon, editor of the
News and Observer, Governor
Gardner and wife, and President
Few of Duke, besides several
other notables. They first stopped
at Kenan stadium where the
present President met Coaches
Collins and Cerney and members
of the championship football
team, whom he had expressed a
special desire to. meet.
Discussed Athletics
Among those he was interest
ed in meeting was the famous
Shorty" Branch, Tar Heel hero,
and Captain Farris. Athletics
was the chief topic of discussion
between the Governor and the
athletes and students who crowd
ed for a glimpse of him. He
spoke to the team and coaches,
commending the fine play exhib
ited the week before at Raleigh.
He declined an invitation to stay
for -the Carolina-Georgia game
the following Saturday, but told
