CHINESE STUDENT
MAKES ADDRESS
TO POLICY GROUP
Describes China as Turning to
Militarism for Adequate Solu
tion to Her Problems.
"TO PREVENT AGGRESSION"
China was pictured as a na
tion turning to militarism for
solution to its problems in. a
-talk last night presented to the
Foreign Policy League by Tsu
Yuan Koo,' University graduate
student from Pai Shih Chiao,
China.
The Chinese scholar stated that
lis fatherland had - unlimited
man power but that it lacked
Tjiunitions and implements of
-warfare.
"We are training our young
tfolks and building up our de
fenses as a preventative against
.aggression," Kob declared, stat
ing that China's comparatively
Tecent trend towards militarism
liad been caused by the foreign
policies of nearby, nations.
Trusted League
"We trusted the League of
Rations too much," the speaker
said.
Koo declared tnat Unina .in
the past had clung to the philo
sophy of not bothering anyone
else. "That was just too bad,
he said. "China is not going to
trust her foolish and impossible
past program of defense any
more."
The Chinese pointed out that
his homeland "expects some
thing from America."
Look to America
"America should supply equip
ment to us, so that with our man
power we may prevent inva
sion," he declared.
Koo said that although the
Chinese at present were pur
chasing American goods instead
of Japanese products, even
though United States goods sold
sX higher prices, his people
could not be expected to keep
up the procedure.

Burlington Prisoners
Given Whole-Hearted
Supp6rt by Group Here
Students, Faculty, Townspeople
Will Aid in Gaining Hearing.
A mass meeting of approxi
mately 90 students, faculty
members and townspeople pass
ed almost unanimously last
night a resolution that "this
body co-operate whole-heartedly
in the effort of the Burlington
prisoners to obtain a hearing be
fore the North Carolina Supreme
Court," to present an appeal for
a re-trial.
Convicted Defendants Ander
son and Hoggard calmly and
self-possessedly proclaimed
their innocence of the Burling
ton dynamiting crime in simple
but detailed talks to the assem
bly in Gerrard hall.
Professing personal convic
tion that a fair trial had not
been received by the seven de
fendants, who have been sen
tenced to serve terms totaling
57-years, J. H. Wisherd, who
presided at the meeting, Paul
Green, W. D. Couch, and E. E.
Ericson stated the difficulties
facing the prisoners in their ef
fort to appeal their case.
Since these difficulties are
chiefly financial, donations
would be particularly helpful
for the defendants, it was stated.
Wisherd, who is an instruc
tor in freshman English, an
nounced that such contributions
should be sent to Couch or to
Walter Pickard of Burlington,
who also spoke at the meeting
last night. Although Pickard
has not been accused of com
plicity in the affair, he has been
a leader in the defense's efforts
for a re-trial. ' ,
Two court stenographers made
records . of the meeting, and
further information on the case
and the meeting last night may
be obtained from Wisherd,
Ericson, Green or Couch.

-o
Time-worn and in places time
erased, the letters of Captain N.
R. Dawson to his sweetheart,
written during the Civil War,
and now in the library, may
perhaps disclose a new world of
infinite possibilities wherein
letters do not open with "H' ya

so thoughtful (or foolish) as to

not accompany them with this

and cultivate them as the living

FR0SH CONSIDER
HONORPROBLEM
Class Will Decide Fate of Court
Today; Will Give Informal
Dance in Spring.
The freshman executive com
mittee voted last night to appro
priate a maximum of $250 to be
used for a dance during the
spring quarter. Permission had
previously been granted the
freshmen to give a dance by the
University Dance committee pro
vided they excluded all other
classmen for the affair. The exe
cutives voted that the dance be
informal.
, The executives voted to pre
sent the following plan of a
freshman honor court for the
consideration of the class at
chapel this morning. The plan
has the full support of Virgil
Weathers and the other student
council members.
Plan For Council
The. plan proposes a council
comprised of 11 freshmen repre
senting five schools; fqur from
the College of Liberal Arts, three
from the Commerce School, two
from the Engineering School,
one from the Pharmacy School,
and one from the School of Ap
plied Science.
In addition there will be one
member of the student council
as an adviser.
The council will act in a dual
capacity ; first, as a spearhead in
drives to make the campus honor-conscious,
and secondly, it
will try freshmen reported for
cheating. It will not try fresh
men for breaches of the campus
code. .
Procedure
The decisions of the proposed
court will not be made public un
til they have been submitted to
the Student Council for sanction.
Two members of freshman honor
council would appear before the
Student Council to submit each
decision. They will present the
facts and findings of the case.
The council may hold a rehear
ing. In such a case two mem
bers of the freshman court would
attend to furnish any facts pre
viously uncovered.
Freshmen are asked to con
sider the proposal and prepare
for discussion on the open floor
at chapel this morning.
Various Obviously Purloined
Signs Also Decorate Room of
Aycock Dormitory Men.
Freak collections -working on
them seems to be the ambition
of every freshman. One pair of
these newcomers to college, liv
ing down in Aycock, seems to
be well on the way to becoming
modern Barnums, if one is to
judge from the bizarre group of
things they've assembled in
their room.
The first thing that strikes
the eye as the visitor enters the
room is the row of whiskey bot
tles, 31 in all, which are hang
ing from the moulding around
the top of the room. The col
lectors, whose names are Robert
son and Gove, cdntend that they
have' the most complete collec
tion of whiskey bottles in the
University, and that no two are
alike. They say that each of
the bottles represents a game
the large quart-size bottle of
choice Sauterne representing a
great victory for Carolina, and
the small two-ounce bottle of
Paul Jones representing, a bit
ter defeat: They also gave a
gallon mug, which they say
stands for the Duke game last
fall.
Lounge Lizards?
Over one closet door is the
sign "Ladies Lounge," which
was collected in Durham. Above
that one is a large metal plate
with the words "This space rer
served for Secretaries of Sen
ators," which was obviously ob
tained in the nation's capital.
The usual "No Parking" signs,
which one would expect to find
in such a collection, are promi
nently displayed here. Also, over
the door is the statement, "Exit
Only," done in black and white
on a pine plank.
Above the other closet door
is an arrow, with the inscription,
"This Way to Forest Theatre."
On the opposite vwall is a group
of signs seen everywhere "Wild
Life Refuge," "No Trespassing,"
etc. Above .these is a collection
of pennants, from Atlantic City,
U. S. Navy, New York Univer
sity, as well as a dozen or so illus
trations from Esquire.
Displayed in a prominent posi
tion on the wall is the printed
warning, "Don't Let Someone
