EUSUS3 PHOKE 4JS5 QQ00QQQ1 by the Editor FIGURES ON NEW DEAL We are indebt ed to the Wades "boro Messenger and Intelligencer for another Ut ile item. It is meant to be the latest set of statistics on the N ew Deal, compiled by a local business man: Total population of U. S. 124,000,000 Xess eiigibles for Townsend plan . 50,000,000 74,000,000 Iess those on gorernment payroll and relief 30,000,000 44,000,000 Xessf those debarred from -work by ;child labor law 30,000,000 Survey Reveals Still Further Failings Among Carolina Greek-Letter Lodges Fraternities Agree That Inter-fraternity Council Is Inefficient; House Mothers, "Civilizing Influence," Inactive and Scarce They Cramp Brothers' Style. 14,000.000 13,999,998 Xess those unemployed Total left to support nation The two left, as you are aware, sre you and me.t Pm tired and worn out so that leaves the whole job to you. This is a very pertinent obser vation. The only suggestion we lave to make is that w leave you out of it too. There's no .sense in pooping out the last pil lar of our society. CAUTE ET CANDE Most of us are glad that we will have the oppor tunity of hearing Mr. David Clark" Tuesday night. Evefy j one is expecting some rather harsh denunciations of Chapel Bill and its 'liberalism" and Mr. Clark will satisfy himself for once that every word he says will -at least reach the ears of the subjects or objects thereof. - We believe Mr. Clark will find "this conservative undergraduate "body anti-radical and resentful of his repeated "red-baitings," because of its very conservative make-up. When we say conser vative we don't mean "non liberal"; in our mind, conserva tism as applied to this campus means caute et cande, the cau tion in the long run bringing about consistency, and the can dor giving us that "liberal" air which marks all fair considera tions. Mr. Clark presumably has many things to. say. With our traditional open mind, we should listen and take note. He is speak ing for many in the state and we may have something to tell them very one after we hear then- presentation. Carolina's Jnter-fraternity council is regarded by most member houses as an extremely ineffectual organization. When interviewed by survey workers from this journal, Greek-letter men stated their belief that the Pan-Hellenic Council has failed to achieve the unity among fraternities which is generally regarded as its purpose. Its history has been marked by inactivity; its place among campus organizations has aroused no envy. According to general belief. the council enjoys a happy hi bernation in the interval be tween the publicizing of rushing rules in the fall and the uproar- i ious banquet for its members in the spring. Expect Improvement However, the status of the Pan-Hellenic group is expected to improve as a result of the re cently adopted system of hav ing chapter presidents represent their houses on the council. This plan will give a greater au thority to the council's decisions because of the greater authori ty of the representatives. At least, it is expected to ob-. viate the policy which fraterni ties have pursued of grooming younger brothers for the coun cil presidency by sending them down as members before their senior year. Fraternity Purpose "What do you consider the purpose of a fraternity?" was another question on the survey. In general the answers repeated the age-old platitude that frater nities exist to unite kindred souls. In other cases the re sponses were marked by a say-nothing-and-Jbe-safe attitude. From all the impromptu an swers the following was, per haps, the least indefinite: "The purpose of a fraternity is, in a great measure, implied in the word itself : to band together a congenial group of boys for the mutual benefiits which may be secured from each other's com pany, and to carry out the idea that in learning to live with oth ers one may, in a measure, learn to live a better and more service able life after college days are over."

BALTIMORE RABBI iYm APPEAR HERE Jewish Theologian and Scholar Edward Israel to Speak Un- MUCH YET REMAINS Dr. Lee M. Brooks, who will be on leave from the University for a year in Ala bama, is a member of one of the most brilliant sociology depart ments in the nation, our own Alumni Building outfit. In a changing economic and social and political era, it is natural that research in social science is perhaps the most im portant field in education. Re gional planning, problems of crime and poverty, wealth and sanitation, life in the new order, call for intense study and con sideration and it is here that the -sociologist, co-operating with the economist and the administrator, plans for America's future. Mr. Brooks' absence will be felt in a department where so much is to be done and is being done, j Rabbi Edward Israel, emi nent Jewish theologian of Bal timore, Md., will speak Tuesday and Wednesday nights in Ger- rard hall under the auspices of the University Y. M. C. A. The address Tuesday night will be at 7:30 in order not to conflict with the student enter tainment program, and the meeting on Wednesday will be at 8 o'clock. Rabbi Israel, who is well- known on "the camnn? for hi l work here last summer, has cho sen as his subjects, "The Social Ideals of Hebrew Prophets, and "The Social Needs of Mod ern Judaism." Rabbi Israel is a profound scholar in econo mics and sociology and is deep ly interested in social planning. In his address Wednesday night he will probably deal with the situation of Jews in Germany along with other phases oi the Jewish problem. Rabbi Israel is a member of the Har Sinai congregation -of Baltimore.

PLAYMAKERS BILL FIVE NEWDRAMAS Plays Written in Quarter's Play- Writing Course to Be Pro duced Tomorrow Night.

Carl Thompson is the director, and Jane Ross will play her "fid dle." A Greenwich Village tea-room is the scene of Joseph Lee Brown s modern tea-room comedy," "The Best Butter," di rected by Jean Walker. "A satiric interlude" is the bill's description of "Virtue," a textile town story written by Leonard Rapport and directed by Patsy McMullan. The scene of Poe's play, di rected by Kenneth Bartlett, is a modern southern town on a mid summer day. The final production, "Bath room Echoes" or "The Tale of a Tub," is described by Author- Director Walter Terry as a slightly ribald farce of char acter." The recently adopted practice of criticism between plays by the audience will be followed in the productions tomorrow night Everyone interested is invited to come. A gay and crowded Senior Week ended last night with the farewell strains of the music of Barney Rapp's New Engend ers, supplying rythm for the senior ball. With its smooth, windy play ing, Rapp's orchestra won hear ty acclaim and proved one of the brightest features of the colorful week-end. Senior Class President Jack Pool with his partner, led the figure, followed by Malcolm Bell and Miss Muriel Barrow; Colin Stokes with Miss Marion Taylor; Luther Cromartie with Miss Grace Peele; Scott Blanton with Miss Ware Pitts, and John Hoggard with Miss Cortlant Preston.

Results Of Survey Show Spring Is Here We wish to nnounce once and for all that spring, that intansri ble something that supposedly turns young men's thoughts lightly to love and which offers such a plenteous source of copy to columnists, is here. Spring is undeniably, irrefu tably, and beyond the shadow of a doubt (no one has doubted it anyway) here. As a matter of fact spring has been here for almost two months, or something like that. Daily Tar Heel investiga tors have been vainly striving for several weeks for tangible evidence upon which to base this startling information. ' Of course they had their suspicions, but there was something lack ing. Suddenly, like a tiger pouncing upon its prey, they had it! The buildings depart ment had made its annual ges ture of putting up keep-off-the-grass fences. Deductions followed deduc tions . . . to put up fences to keep people off grass 'meant tfcre was gras somewhere around . . . if grass was now where grass wasn't recently, then grass was growing! Hah! And grass grows in the spring (or so they have been told). Simple, wasn't it? Be it understood here and now, that no more reference is to be made in the sheets of this newspaper announcing the ar rival of this epochal period of the year. NUMBER 163 Strike In Printing Plant To Cause Delay In Yaekety Yaek Delivery Annuals Will Be Mailed To Students Individually Company, Not P. U. Board, Must Bear $500 to $S0O Extra Cost for Mailing. UNION ASKS CLOSED SHOP. This year's Yaekety Yack, following and surpassing the ex ample of Alex Andrews' book last spring, will not.be out on time. A strike which went into ef fect Monday in the plant of the Queen City Printing Company will prevent that company's de livering the Carolina annuals as per schedule by May 27-28. The strike, which is confined to the Queen City Printing plant, occurred after the refusal of the owners to accede to the union's demand for a closed shop. As far as is known on this campus, the workers had no other complaints. Company Fights Back Although the company is en deavoring to bring in other printers to do the work on the Yaekety Yack and the other col lege annuals which it handles, it is practically certain that the delay which has already oc curred, even if the strike were to end immediately, will make it impossible for the yearbooks to be delivered before the end of school. Because the delivery date is specified by contract, the delay will cost the Publications Union Board nothing; the estimated ?o00 to $800 expense of mail ing the books to each student will have to be borne by the Printing company. GROVES TO SPEAR- ON SEX EDUCATION Sociologist Will Address Sopho more Cabinet on Mental and Sex Hygiene Tomorrow. Dr. Ernest R. Groves of the University sociology department will deliver the first of two ad dresses on sex education at the meeting of the sophomore cabi net tomorrow night at 7:15. The addresses, which Dr. Groves will give on consecutive Mondays, beginning tomorrow. will be on these subjects, "Men tal Hygiene" . and "Sex Hy giene." These addresses are in line with the prevalent feelincr that adequate sex instruction should be given to college stu dents early in their career. Dr. Groves, whose course on marriage is one of the most popular on the campus, is an eminent sociologist in a depart ment which is rapidly gaining for itself national recognition." Dr. Groves is also one of the edi tors of "Social Forces," a socio logical quarterly published by -the University Press. All students are especially in vited to attend these addresses. Elisha Mitchell Society SIGMA DELTA TOPS SCHOURSHIPLIST OF FRATERNITIES Local Group Followed by Pi Beta Phi, S. A. E., Chi Omega, Chi Phi, Z. B. T. S. A. E. WINS CUP AGAIN Sigma Delta, local frater nity on the campus, made the highest fraternity scholastic av erage during the winter quarter 2.32 it was reported yester day by Dr. G. K. G. Henry, as sistant registrar. . Pi Beta Phi, sorority, was sec ond with a grade of 2.34. Sand wiched. between two sororities, Sigma Alpha Epsilon came third with a rating of 2.39, followed by Chi Omega with 2.41. Next in order of rating were: Chi Phi, Zeta Beta Tau, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Phi Kappa Sigma. Cup to S. A. E. Sigma Delta, however, is not eligible for the men's fraterni ty cup, since it is not a national fraternity. The cup, conse quently, goes to S. A. E. again The scholastic averages were determined by counting grades on a basis of one point for a grade of "A," two for "B," and so on to six for "P." The fra ternity average for the winter quarter was 2.80, with 425 stu dents counted, an improvement over the 3.02 of the fall quar ter, with 410 students counted. In the fall quarter, Phi Beta Pi and Chi Omega topped the 1st. For the year 1932-33, Sigma Delta led all fraternities with a score of 2.16. In 1933-34, Chi Omega was highest with 2.41.
