question at this time the authenticity of the earlier ratings,
which were so low, and the latest, which were so high.
Realizing that Chapel Hill restaurant operators have sin
cerely tried to maintain the standards which health officers
have specified, we again thank them for their co-operation.
Although it was their duty and for purely selfish motives
they had no other course, throughout the entire discussion
they have for the most part, made little complaint about tech
niques and activities which have not been without certain un
fortunate extenuations. .... '

The condition of "Ross,"
who was removed to the Duke
hospital before the Christmas
holidays, remains critical. Ac
cording to a statement issued,
"Ross" is suffering from tu
bercular peritonitis.
Before the holidays the
Monogram Club sponsored a
movement to raise funds to
help pay the hospital expen
ses of the sick colored man,
who has given 14 years of
faithful service, to Tar Heel
athletes. Over $31 was raised.
The fund was turned over to
"Sarge" J. J. Keller. Accord
ing to Keller, $28 has been
paid for his expenses so far.
Last week an attempt was
made to operate on "Ross,
but his condition was such
that the doctors were unable

Those confined to the infirm

W. A. Raborg, R. G. Crystal, and
T. A. Irwin.
The Phi Assembly last night
re-dedicated itself to the cause
of working for a modern dining
hall at the University with the
re-organization of the Swain hal
committee and the adoption of
a new program.
In addition to Edwin Hamlin
and Stuart Rabb, members of
the old committee, the new
group includes Francis Fairley,
Winthrop Durf ee; and Pete Pet
ersons 'xU': . ':"
v:- The committee plans to can
vass the campus in order to se
cure members - of a delegation
that will include representatives
from the more important towns
in North Carolina. This delega
tion will make a trip to Raleigh
after the Board of ? Trustees
meeting this month in order to
present the petition circulated
here last fall. The petition in
cludes 1,470 signatures, a majo
rity of the Carolina student
body. Tne petition asks im
mediate action in providing a
modern dining hall here; The
University is the only unit of
the greater trinity without such
an eating place. 1
The bill introduced by Francis
Fairley condemning the Supreme
Court for invalidating the AAA
was defeated by a vote of 15-8
after a warm debate. Fairley,
speaking in defense of his bill
charged that the nine justices
are of the ruling classes and
that they are susceptible ; to
their environment when render
ing a decision. He declared
that they were from only one
section of the country and were
not representative of the inter
ests of the peopTe as a whole.

The protestations of some 200
Yankee students who are firm
in .their belief that so called
"acts of God", should be given
more momentary - consideration
by the powers, controlling the
probationary periods of Univer
sity students have borne fruit
and an opportunity to get off
probation has presented itself.
Students who were delayed in
returning to the campus after
the Christmas holidays because
of the unusually bad weather
conditions can write out their
excuses, have them approved by
their respective deans, and then
turn them over to Dean House
for consideration.
Bus Riders
Those who returned on the
busses chartered by Fletcher
Ferguson and Max Novich have
been listed and their nimes will
be handed to the authorities.1 In
addition, each frust write outran
individual excuse in accordance
with the above. '
Students who spent 24 to 26
hours in making the return trip
from New York, which is usually
done in about 15 hours accord
ing to campus authorities, have
been quick to parallel their ob
jections with the present cam
paign for fewer accidents. Icy
highways, heavy fogs, and flood
ed roads are expected to pre
dominate in the forthcoming excuses.
December sanitary ratings of
Chapel Hill restaurants released
yesterday show a phenomenal
gain over those of the preceding
month. The report, made to
Health Officer M. H. Rourk by
Inspectors Caruthers and Mel
vin, indicates that the sanitation ,
of some of the larger eating plac
es is well-nigh perfect.
Sutton's, Inc., is still rated at
39 per cent, the mark given in
November, pending the outcome
of an indictment appealed to the
superior court. Mr. Sutton has
not indicated his desire for a re
rating. Highest Rating
Highest rated is the Carolina
Coffee Shop with a grade of 98
per cent, followed closely by the
University Cafe with 97.5 per
cent, Harry's Grill with 96.5 per
cent, Chandler's Cafeteria with
96 per cent, and Gooch Bros, with
95 per cent.
All cafes, except Sutton's, Inc.
with a rating lower than the re
quired 70 per cent have either
been prosecuted and closed or
have voluntarily done so until
they might fulfill the require-.ments.w-----,.
:: :.
Greatest improvement was
registered by Thomas Gooch's,
whose rating jumped from
48.5 per cent in November to 93
per cent last month.
January sanitary ratings will
be published as soon as they are
made and released by the local
health department.
