EDITORIAL PHONE 4H1 CHAPEL HILL, N. C, FRIDAY, .MAY 31, 1935 BUSINESS PHOXX 4JJS NUMBER 184 CAMPUS KEYBOARD by the Editor The Vanderbilt agrarianism is a logicalreactionof DREAMY -CHILDREN "thinking persons, young in mind .and body, to the topsy-turvy monstrosity known as America -today. Perhaps in the hearts of all of nus, at one time or another, there arises some sort of resentf ulness -att .all this high-pressure exist ence, at all the present-day isms -and movements and high-speed activity. Most of us picture a desert island where we can take our best friends and eat bananas .and grapefruit, read light books .and play around for the rest of our days. But the islands all hap pen to be coaling-stations for mil itant armadas, so we snap back "to normal and try to make the &est ' of Uncle 13am and modern ity. ', . ; Maybe after some more law yers get through with the NRA, everybody will give a big sigh ;and settle back into good old agrarianism. We'll forget Ja pan, dish the Chamber of Com anerce, shackle the ; munitions makers, and begin anew on mint- juleps. Or maybe we'll have a revolu tion. - ' T' They tell us that the Rock Inn, where the most recent cam XTP INTO SMOKE pus conflagration stirred up the old fire department, has been previously attacked by the de mon flames about seven times. Obviously, the house is a fire trap. If it were the only one on the campus, we might fix things up in short order. But it seems that there are a dozen or so more buildings on local grounds which would be duck soup for a hungry -fire, with resulting losses of property and perhaps life. Along with the administra tion's move to clean up kitchens in some of our eating places should run a drive to condemn or rehabilitate our fire-traps. We can't have brick buildings all over the place, but we can do better than run wires along the floors, allow rubbish in closets, and stick eight lights to a socket. like some newspaper policies, the fire-traps need a little insula tion. Else they're liable to go tip into smoke. The annual re ports for mem ber organizations PERUSING TIGURES of the student audit system will appear in tomorrow's issue of this newspaper. We beg several of our "campus leaders" who liave found wrong in everything to go through the reports care fully, so that the next time they yell about graft they, will have some sort of a basis to work on. That is, if they can find the basis. It does absolutely no good to run the set-up of' the system be cause nobody bothers to read it. "We've tried. The student audit board is still under fire as to function and activity, but we promise you you'll get that. We reiterate. - Read the audit report for your organization. If you have a kick, let us know. We love to fight, too, if we have something to fight about. CUPS AND MEDALS WILLBE AWARDED IN ANNUAL AFFAIR Jimmy Fuller to Play for Awards Night Program in Memorial HaU at 8 O'clock.

Patterson Award As the feature of the occasion, Dr. Charles S. Mangum will make the presentation of the Patterson Memorial medal to this year's outstanding athlete.

It was awarded last year to Virgil Weathers, ex president of the student body. While the occasion does not lack in seriousness, several skits and songs will inject a note of levity. Secretive, reticent Pro gram Director Harper Barnes, while denying all, is buzzing about industrially gathering to gether a cast of celebrities that will be inflicted on the audience tonight. House's harmonica and that silver voice of Jule Medynski are probably in the offing. However, it was learned (Continued on page four) Dormitory Improvement Program To Close Before Summer Session Major Renovating Work Already Completed Says Buildings De partment Head Pi L. Burch; Painting, Screening, Lighting Improvements Compose Repairs on Dormitories. The improvement program for the dormitories is in full swing. Begun less than a month ago, the program to renovate the dor mitories is rapidly nearing com pletion. P. L. Burch, head of the buildings department, said that he expected most of the work to be finished before sum mer school begins. One of the major improve ments is the painting of all rooms. Already the painting in Old East, Old West, and Steele dormitories is almost completed. Work was begun on these three buildings first because summer school students are expected to room in them. The other dor mitories are to be painted soon. Another important improve ment is the screening of all dor mitories. Screens are being in stalled this week in Old East, Old West, and Steele. Every dormitory is to have screens by the beginning of summer school. Further Repairs In the upper quadrangle showers and other bathroom fix tures are being repaired or re NEW UNION BOARD ASSUim DUTIES Directors Consider Re-allocation of Room; Ellis Is Elected Hold-over Member. New members of the Graham Memorial Board of Directors met last night, jumped right into the swing of things by consider ing several, important matters, and engaged in the regular af ter- dinner I bull-session which is so much a part of local committee gatherings. After granting the University Club a sum of $100 for use in the second annual freshman smoker next fall, the board dis cussed plans for improving the student union janitor service, re-allocating Graham Memorial rooms, and other routine mat ters. Women Win The controversy between the Woman's Association and the Carolina Magazine regarding use of the former's room on the first floor of the union was finally settled. The board decided that the .magazine's office should be returned again to the office of the Carolina Buccaneer, leaving the women free to use their room exclusively. Albert Ellis was elected .as hold-over, member to the board for next year. Other members who will serve are Jack Pool, chairman, Phil Hammer, Jane Ross, L. C. Bruce, Trip Rand, Ramsay Potts, J.

In Old East, Old West, and Steele dormitories fountains have been installed in all sec tions of the ground floor. Burch further stated that the buildings department is also making progress toward the im provement of the lighting sys tems in the dormitories of the upper and lower quadrangles. In Mangum one of the rooms is be ing used to experiment with a system of lighting. Improve ments along this line, however, are not definite. Regrets The buildings department re grets that it has been neces sary to carry on this work while the rooms were occupied, but inasmuch as the entire program was an emergency measure, it had to be carried out in spite of the inopportune date. At the same time the department wishes to express its appreciation and thanks to all students who allow ed repair work to be done in their rooms. MARRIAGE COURSE TO BE CONTINUED IN STO1MER CLASS Dr. Groves to Hold Conference on Teaching of Family Problems. The second conference on the teaching of marriage and the family, headed by Ernest R. Groves, University sociology professor, will be held in Chapel Hill July 8-12. The first con ference which met last summer grew out of the interest of col lege teachers in the methodology of the instruction in prepara tion for marriage that has been developed here. Although the program of the conference features the prob lems of teaching, it also in cludes topics relating to the conservation of marriage and the, family and is broader in its appeal than last year's confer ence. Teachers in high school, adult education, and in college; physicians, ministers, husbands, wives, and parents are invited to attend the session. Addresses and round-table meetings are designed to offer opportunity for a discussion of the problems of teachers of mar riage and family courses and some of the important problems of marriage and family experi ences'. Specialists whose fields of knowledge are directly relat ed to these problems will address the conference. UNIVERSITY CLUB RELffiBY GIFT Student Union Directors Vote to Donate $100 for Club's Fresh man Smoker Next FalL The Graham Memorial Board of Directors considerably light ened the financial troubles of the University Club last night by voting to donate $100 to help pay the expenses of the freshman smoker which will be sponsored by the University Club next fall. The action of the Student Union board followed an ardent plea for the funds, made by Ju lien Warren, president of the University Club. Still $50 Short The club still lacks $50 to pay for the freshman smoker, as the affair will cost approximately $150. Asked how he would raise the remainder of the smoker ex penses, President Warren de clared, "That's my trouble, but I'll get it." Still in its regular session when the announcement was made, the members of the Uni versity Club broke into loud cheering. While Warren appeared before the Graham Memorial board, Joe W. Grier, treasurer of the Uni versity Club, presided at the meeting and led a discussion on raising the funds for the organ ization's work next year.
