C., SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1935 NUMBER 119 GREENSBORO DEAN LIVENSASSEMBLY Dean W. C. Jackson Promises to Introduce Freshmen Around At Woman's ' College. Dean W. C. Jackson of the Greensboro Woman's College, was introduced to the freshman class by Dean House, and then the fun began. The speaker won the interest of the assembly by issuing them .an invitation to visit him and allowing him to introduce them at Greensboro; a statement which met vociferous approval. Announcing his subject as "'Andrew Jackson," he explain ed that he had received special permission to move the date of Iris birthday from the fifteenth to the first. "Great Fighter, He Was" Dates, facts, and more dates! He rattled them off with such rapidity that the best of history students would have become ad dled. He hurriedly traced the southerner's amazing career, showing him as a young lawyer in Tennessee, that state's first Congressman, a worker among the Seminole Indians in Florida, and finaly as president of the United States. Dean Jackson was largely con cerned with the amusing inci dents in the general's life and nld the freshmen of some of Jackson's experiences as a duel ist. "He was a fighting man individually as well as national ly stated the speaker. Renowned for Epithets "He was the greatest swearer of his day. It was. wonderful. There was something magnifi cent about the general's swear ing."' But the speaker offered no examples. Dean Jackson concluded by quoting one of "Old Hickory's" slaves who was arguing with a fellow slave on the probability of their master's going to hea ' ven. "Massa Jackson always wanted to go to heaven," said the darky, "and if he wants to do a thing, there is nobody can ieep him from it."' LOCAL ROTARIANS HEAR LEGISLATOR Uowman Predicts Adoption of Parts of Substitute Tax Plan. The real fights in the Legis lature have just begun and there is not much chance for adjourn ment before April 15 at the earliest, Judge Fred O. Bowman of Chapel Hill, a veteran of leg islative sessions as representa tive of the druggists and bot tlers, told the Chapel Hill Ro tary Club in an address here. Discussing the trend of legis lative events, Judge Bowman predicted that the McDonald Lumpkin substitute revenue bill would meet defeat when it goes to the floor of the House but that certain features of the plan will be adopted. The chances for the Universi ty and other state institutions getting what they requested, and were granted by the vote of the joint appropriations committee are not as bright as they were several weeks ago,) Judge Bow man said, for the reason that the appropriations bill is being held up until the finance com mittee makes its report. Unless an apparent discre pancy of several millions can be eliminated by adoption of fea tures of the McDonald-Lumpkin Plan, all of the appropriations al ready voted by the joint commit tee will probably be whittled.

Craiq Gives Theory: Hamlet Shares Fate Of All Stricken Men Visiting Professor Says in Lec ture Hamlet Teaches Invin cibility of Valiant Soul. "Hamlet struggles through and at last achieves a philoso phical serenity against a back ground of human calamity. 'Give me that man that is not passion's slave,' he says, emerg mg triumphant. In a world full of grief-stricken heroes, Hamlet's lesson for us is that there is no defeat of a valiant spirit short of the grave." Hardin Craig, distinguished Renaissance scholar and visiting professor of English at the Uni versity from Leland-Stanford, lectured last night in Gerrard hall to a large audience of stu dents, faculty and townspeople on "Why Hamlet An Attempt to Account for the Importance of Shakespeare's Play." Taylor Introduces Briefly introduced by his for mer classmate at the University of Chicago, Dr. George R. Tay lor, of the University English department, Dr. Craig opened his 50-minute address with an anecdote of his days in London as a young student, when he was privileged to hear two of the leading scholars of the day discuss Hamlet. "Their views," stated Craig, "were diametrically opposed. One scholar believed Hamlet to be the victim of his own indecis ion, and thought his delay at killing the king at prayers was based upon Hamlet's own in ability to act, in its turn the re suit of a lack of balance between the active and contemplative sides of his nature. Gives Theory Craig stated that his theory of the play and character arose from his difficulty with a pass age ("Thou seest the world, how (Continued on last page) VOLUME STUDIES 'WITCH OF ATLAS' Press Releases Critical Work on Shelley's Poem.

BUDGETEERS VOTE THREE TAX PLANS Revenue Bill Adopted Will Run More Than $30,000,000. Raleigh, March 1. ( UP) Moving toward the adoption of a revenue bill, which the United Press learned will total some what more than $31,000,000, the joint finance committee of the North Carolina Legislature to day adopted three important tax schedules. . One of them was a three per cent sales tax, with all exemp tions and limits removed. -The other two were chain store floor taxes and chain filling station taxes. The vote on a three per cent sales tax as against a two per cent levy was 20 to 12. Anti sales taxers are jubilant over this vote as an indication of the expected support of a lower tax levy or no sales tax at all when the bill reaches the floor. The House of Representa tives, meeting an hour earlier than usual, snarled itself in a hot debate on a measure to set up a new board for the regula tion of beauty shops. The House also received a Senate resolution to investigate the State Hospital for Insane at Morganton and referred it to the appropriations committee because the measure provides an expenditure of $500 for the investigation.
